Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 704 Past Events

"Because when the fireworks started, Mr. Michiwaki and I were in a position where we couldn't see the whole picture of the fireworks clearly, so Mr. Michiwaki suggested that we go around from the woods to a good place to watch the fireworks. But who knows , when we got to the woods, we heard that man's cry, so we found out..."

Saying this, Sonoko seemed very excited when he recalled what happened just now, and Michiwaki Masahiko also helped Sonoko and said:

"That's right. If the man hadn't suddenly yelled in the woods, we wouldn't have noticed that there was a woman lying there at that time. This really shocked us!"

"Hey?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help saying unexpectedly:
"Is that the man who found the body first?"

"more or less."

Masahiko Michiwaki replied:
"According to what the man said, he also entered the woods with us, so in terms of time, we found the dead at about the same time as him."

"Hey!"

Xiaolan was a little concerned about this, because she still remembered Jiang Yuan Tokio's behavior at the fireworks display, so Xiaolan said angrily:
"That's too strange, isn't it? Why did he follow you to the woods? Maybe, he was already in the woods, and it's not even certain that he killed that woman!"

"Hey! That's right!"

Hearing this, Sonoko couldn't help but feel very reasonable and said:
"If he was already in the woods, then there is a possibility that he killed that lady! Damn, what did that police officer do? He didn't suspect that guy just now, but instead suspected Mr. Daowaki and Mr. Zhizhi. !"

Somewhat annoyed, Yuanzi complained like this, and at the same time looked at Gaoyuan with some resentment, and complained:

"And so is Mr. Akechi. When you asked Mr. Michiwaki for an alibi, you couldn't be serious, right? Do you think what the police officer said is true? It's just because you like looking for women with brown hair. Do you think Michiwaki-san is suspected for just one reason?"

"It's okay, Sonoko."

Hearing Sonoko's tone of voice, Michiwaki Masahiko's face lightened slightly, and he said calmly:
"I think maybe I have some misunderstandings with this gentleman, and he probably said that because he was worried about your safety."

At the same time, Tie Zhuyu beside Gao Yuan couldn't help explaining to Yuanzi:

"Miss Sonoko, don't misunderstand brother wise. Because... before, brother wise really met a prisoner who specifically targeted brown-haired girls, so it is normal for brother wise to take care of such a case this time. things..."

"That's right. Both Zhu Yu and I were witnesses to the incident at that time, so it was inevitable... our attitude towards this gentleman was a bit off."

Kashiwagi Shion also agreed, but even so, the two looked at Masahiko Michiwaki with unfriendly eyes, but for Sonoko's sake, they didn't say much.

"Hey! There really is such a thing!"

Hearing this statement, Sonoko was originally emotionally stable, but once again showed a look of panic, as if he was caught in the worry that he might be in danger again.

In this regard, Michiwaki Masahiko stepped forward to comfort him:
"It's okay, it's okay, didn't I say it? I will always protect you in Izu these days."

So Yuanzi's mood eased a little under such consolation, and then asked Tie Zhuyu:

"By the way, you said that you met a prisoner who specifically attacked the brown-haired girl before. What happened afterwards? How did you solve it?"

"Brother Zhizhi protected me!"

Seriously, Tie Zhuyu explained to Yuanzi.

At the same time, following this topic, Michiwaki Masahiko just continued to say to Sonoko:
"You see, as long as someone protects you, the prisoner has no chance. Don't worry, I will be responsible for your safety to the end during this time in Izu!"

"Ah."

Feeling the sense of security conveyed from Michiwaki Masahiko, Sonoko blushed slightly, and nodded silently, until her emotions finally calmed down.

Regarding this, Xiaolan confirmed to Gao Yuan:
"So, Mr. Zhizhi also thinks that the murderer is similar to the case you encountered before. He only targeted brown-haired women, so he didn't suspect that man at that time?"

"Well...it's not because of that person, he doesn't have time to commit crimes..."

Facing such inquiries, Gao Yuan simply made it clear——

After all, Jiang Yuan Tokio came to the fireworks display with himself and Akiko Sayama. During this period, Gao Yuan also followed Jiang Yuan Tokio's movements. , but absolutely no time to go out in the woods and kill a human female.

"Before Mr. Maeda caught him, he was always at the venue of the fireworks display. It was impossible for him to commit crimes in the woods. And after that, count the time, even if he was captured by Mr. Maeda If he broke free and immediately ran to the woods to kill the deceased, there would be no time to dispose of the murder weapon. Therefore, he did not have time to commit the crime."

Gao Yuan explained in this way.

"Oh, I see……"

Xiaolan nodded silently.

"By the way, wise brother, you said that you have encountered this kind of prisoner who specifically targeted brown-haired women before, did you catch the prisoner in the end?"

At this time, Conan, who was listening to everyone's story, suddenly asked curiously.

"Well, I caught it."

Nodding his head, Gao Yuan replied:
"The police had evidence of his crime and quickly caught him."

"Then...why would a prisoner like this target women with brown hair?"

Conan continued to ask about this, as if he was a little concerned about the motives of this type of criminal, and wanted to see if he could find inspiration from related events.

"Um……"

Listening to Conan's question, Gao Yuan roughly understood Conan's thoughts, so he explained:

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. After all, each prisoner has their own reasons. The incident I encountered was because the prisoner saw a girl with brown hair abroad a few years ago. From then on, he was so fascinated that he couldn't control it, and he started to attack the girl with brown hair constantly, trying to make up for the regret that he didn't dare to approach that girl at that time..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ai, who had been silently held by Tie Zhuyu and felt very helpless, suddenly felt Gao Yuan subconsciously look at herself when he was talking about this matter.

For this reason, Xiao Ai couldn't help blinking, feeling inexplicably puzzled——

"In other words, because of the regrets that happened before, you started to focus on the target of the murder?"

Mumbling, Conan analyzed in this way.

"Who is this..."

And listening to Gao Yuan's narration, Yuanzi felt the same, and said very angrily:

"It's clearly my own problem, but it's really incomprehensible for such a person to vent his anger on other innocent people!"

"All right."

In this regard, seeing Sonoko's emotions so excited, Masahiko Michiwaki couldn't help comforting him softly:

"Don't think about this kind of thing anymore. And it's getting dark now, why don't I take you back?"
