The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 213 Miwako Nishitani

The entrance to Room 5 of Midori Street Apartment No. 102, [-]-chome, Yoneka-cho.

Ritsu Sasashima silently calculated the distance to the place where the crime occurred. It was very close to both the crime place and the residence of the deceased Tatsuya Nagai.

He turned around and looked at Kudo Shinichi, who had followed them here. He saw this guy grinning at him. He had never seen such a shameless person. He had already told him not to follow him, but he still followed him.

Hayasaka Yuna walked to the door and rang the doorbell, and soon a beautiful young lady with long hair and a pink long-sleeved T-shirt came out. However, she looked a little haggard, and there were thick eyes. Dark circles under eyes.

"Is this Ms. Miwako Nishitani?"

Nishitani Miwako nodded, and she said with a normal look of confusion: "Yes, who are you?"

"We are police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department. There is a case that happened nearby that is related to you." Yuna Hayasaka took out Tatsuya Nagai's ID card and asked, "Do you know the man on the ID card?"

Miwako Nishitani glanced at the photo on the ID and immediately showed a scared expression. She nodded and replied: "I-I know you...what's wrong with him?"

The scared expression is quite spot on, without many flaws.Ritsu Sasashima calmly accepted her inquiry and said indifferently: "He is dead."

"Then, that person died?"

There will eventually be flaws in the improvised acting skills. Sasashima Ritsu noticed that her expression did not change much. If she knew that the man following her was dead, her mood would not be so calm.

If it was not the crime she committed, her first reaction would be to panic, for fear that the police would come to her and misunderstand her as the murderer.

The expression was too calm, as if she had long known that the man was dead.

"Yes, because he drank Katzman mixed with poison. This happened four and ten minutes ago." Hayasaka Yuna looked directly at the weak-looking woman in front of him and said slowly: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but where have you been during this time?"

"If it was four and 10 minutes ago, I happened to come back here from outside at that time."

Nishitani Minwako rubbed her hands slightly and took the initiative to report her alibi: "I work in a family restaurant in Yeido District during the day. Our closing time is four o'clock in the morning. I’ll do the cleaning afterwards, and it should be around five o’clock after I leave the store.”

The eyes of Ritsu Sasashima and Shinichi Kudo fell on Miss Nishitani's hands that were constantly rubbing. The former could already tell that she was removing the dried glue on her fingertips, which he had often used to remove his own glue before. Fingerprints, the latter is still thinking about what the falling white powder is.

"Did you take the train from Yeido Ward to Rice Flower Station?"

"correct."

"You walked home after leaving the station, right?"

"Yes."

Hayasaka Yuna had some inferences in her heart, but further confirmation was needed. She couldn't help looking at Takagi Tsutomu beside her, and said, "Takagi, please take out the map of this area."

"Yes!"

Takagi spread out the prepared map on the dining table, and Hayasaka Yuna looked at Nishiya and asked: "Miss Nishiya, can you tell me which way you walked back to this apartment from Mihua Station?"

"Okay. I walked back from here via the road in front of the station."

Seeing the route she pointed out, Takagi Wataru exclaimed: "Police Department! This route can pass by the vending machine and the crime scene!"

"Hey?! What do you mean by that?" Xigu Shihezi asked in surprise, with an expression as if he really didn't know that the victim had walked the same way as her.

Hayasaka Yuna, who noticed something was wrong, looked at Onizawa next to her. She thought that Takashi Onizawa, who was better at reasoning than herself, must have noticed Miss Nishiya's abnormality.

Ritsu Sasashima, who noticed Hayasaka's gaze, just smiled back at her. As for what this smile meant, Hayasaka knew it well.

The good old Takagi Wataru didn't notice the problem yet. He pointed at the map very thoughtfully and said: "Mr. Nagai fell down at this place, which means he should have been behind you at that time. Miss Nishitani, you didn't notice Nagai." Sir? Or did you notice anything suspicious?"

"How could it be! The policeman from the nearby police station obviously helped me to pay attention to this matter. I haven't seen him for a while, and I only recently felt relieved."

Listening to Miss Nishitani's explanation, Kudo Shinichi frowned and began to look at the furnishings in the house. The doors and windows were locked, and there was a bottle of anti-wolf spray placed in the corner near the entrance... Did she really feel at ease?Obviously not.

Hayasaka Yuna poked the right side of Onizawa's waist with her finger, lowered her voice and asked in a low voice: "Hey, do you think this Miss Nishitani is suspicious?"

"It's not sure yet. Let's close the team for now. You and I will go to Mr. Nagai's house alone to investigate and see if we can get any clues."

"Okay." Hayasaka Yuna looked at Miwako Nishitani, who had her head lowered in front of her, and said, "Ms. Nishitani, thank you very much for your cooperation. Let's take our leave now."

"It's okay, it's good to be able to help."

Kudo Shinichi didn't expect that the team would be closed down so quickly. He couldn't follow up on the follow-up investigation. But didn't these police officers find anything wrong with Miss Nishitani?
As soon as he walked out of the apartment, Kudo Shinichi couldn't hold himself back and said anxiously: "Police department, didn't you realize that Miss Nishitani was lying? She should be..."

"The first thing a detective looks at when handling a case is intuition, while the police handle cases based on evidence. They cannot wear colored glasses before there is definite evidence, and they cannot act emotionally."

Sasashima Ritsu glanced at Kudo Shinichi. He already knew the general outline of the case, but he also wanted to confirm one thing. If it was consistent with what he thought, he would choose to help the criminal lady.

The smart Kudo Shinichi naturally understood the meaning of Onizawa Takashi's words. He knew that Miss Nishitani was lying, but chose to look for evidence.Thinking about the Valentine's Day case, I'm afraid his reasoning ability is very high. It's rare to meet such a smart police officer.

"Then I can come with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ritsu Sasashima, who had been indifferent just a second ago, showed a bright smile and said word by word: "No, I can."

Kudo Shinichi rubbed his hair irritably. Really, does this police officer have schizophrenia?This smile was weird and captivating, as if the other person was pretending to be completely unaware of his own thoughts.

"Please ask this high school detective to take your little girlfriend home. It's lunch time in four hours. It's not appropriate to go on a date at a murder scene."

After giving the friendly reminder with a smile, Sasashima Ritsu decided to grab a cigarette to relieve his craving. Even if he couldn't smoke next to Hayasaka, it would still be nice to smell it.

"Who, who is his little girlfriend! Mr. Police Department, please stop talking nonsense! Shinichi, let's go!!!"

"Huh? Don't pull me so hard. I didn't say that!"

"..."

Frightened by the sudden loud voice, his hands trembled, and half of the cigarettes he took out of the pack fell to the ground.

Tsk, what a shameful waste.

There is no three-second rule in his world. Sasashima Ritsu bent down to pick up the cigarette and put it into the evidence bag. He looked at Takagi Wataru who smiled sarcastically and said: "Takagi, you go back to the crime scene and continue to protect it. Don't let it go." Idle people like that guy got in."

"Yes!"

"Hayasaka, let's go...go to the victim's house."

"it is good."
