Chapter 174

"Oh! The person in charge also mentioned this on the phone."

Officer Sato explained: "He was worried that the gangster would be harmful to his wife, so they wanted to come together at dawn."

"That's what it is~"

When Officer Takagi heard this, the look of confusion on his face dissipated.

A young policeman wearing a police uniform suddenly walked in from the door with a stout middle-aged man. He saluted Officer Sato and said: "Officer Sato, I brought the person in charge of Dongdu Bank. coming."

"Thanks a lot."

Officer Sato first nodded to the young policeman, then cast his gaze on the middle-aged man, and couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Masuo, why are you alone? Didn't your wife come with you?" "

"Because my wife suddenly had something to do and had to go to the bank, so we made an appointment and met directly here."

Midway through his words, Masuo Katsura glanced at his watch and said with a puzzled look on his face: "What? She hasn't arrived yet? This is strange. Is she still sleeping?"

Masuo Keizou looked around, and his eyes fell on the phone on the desk not far away. He said with some embarrassment: "I came out in a hurry just now, and I accidentally forgot to bring my phone. Can I borrow it?" Can you use your phone?"

"Of course, you can do whatever you want."

After getting permission from Officer Sato, Masuo Keizo quickly walked to his desk, picked up the phone and made a call.

Seeing this, Huiyuan Ai suddenly said: "Three times!"

"What three times?"

Ayumi couldn't help but ask after hearing Haihara Ai's words.

Conan frowned slightly and said, "Since that person entered the door just now, he has checked his watch three times."

Baili Jing carelessly touched Haiyuan Ai's hair, a hint of amusement flashed in his sword eyes and said: "If I guess correctly, this guy will put on a good show for me, directed and acted by himself."

"Hello? This is Masuo's house."

As Masuo Keizou pressed the speaker button, a woman's voice came from the phone.

"Honey, it's me. I'm at the police station now."

"Are you at the police station?"

Before his wife could finish speaking, Masuo Keizou quickly changed the subject and said, "Wait a moment, I'll let the police officer come and talk to you."

As Masao Keizou said, he handed the phone in his hand to Officer Takagi beside him.

Officer Takagi subconsciously took the phone and said to Mrs. Masuo on the other side of the phone: "Hello, madam, this is Search Class [-]."

"Oh~ I recognize your voice. You are the police officer from yesterday, Officer Takagi, right?"

"Yes, I am Officer Takagi."

Officer Takagi nodded slightly and said, "Madam, has something happened to you? Why are you still at home now?"

???

Mrs. Masuo, who was riding a slimming bicycle, heard this and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you talking about? Didn't we make an appointment to meet at five o'clock?"

"But your husband said..." "Ah!!!"

Before Officer Takagi finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the phone, forcibly interrupting him.

"Mrs. Masao, are you okay? Hey! Hey! What happened?"

Upon seeing this, Officer Sato quickly said: "Officer Takagi, please send the people from the aircraft search team on standby first. I will drive the car to the door. We will meet directly at the door."

Looking at the resolute back of Officer Sato, Baili Jing rubbed Conan's head and said: "It seems that a case has happened. Let's follow it together and take a look!"

"Youth detective team, let's go!"

After hearing what Baili Jing said, the five little ones suddenly showed excitement, and followed Officer Takagi and others to Masuo's house.

As soon as Officer Sato's car arrived at the entrance of Masao Villa, the yellow Humvee (Bumblebee) that Bailijing and the others were riding in arrived closely behind.

"Kadai, Kayo..."

After Masao Keizo led everyone into the villa, he called his wife's name anxiously and said to Officer Takagi and the others: "Two officers, it's too late, let's act separately! I'll go to the living room to see what's going on upstairs. The rest is up to you.”

"Okay! Officer Takagi, let's go..."

"Wait a minute! Isn't this too dangerous?"

Just as Officer Sato was about to take Officer Takagi to investigate upstairs, Baili Jing suddenly said: "What if the gangster who attacked Mrs. Masao is still hiding in this house and has not left? Wouldn't it be very dangerous for a lone person? , let’s look for it together!”

"Ding! Trigger Masuo Katsura's resentment and gain 92 villain points."

As soon as Baili Jing finished speaking, the pleasant system prompt sounded in his ears.

After hearing what Baili Jing said, Officer Sato also stopped, pulled out the police gun from his waist and said, "What you said makes sense, Officer Takagi, follow me to the front to explore the way."

"That...that..."

Under the eyes of Masuo Keizou's collapse, Officer Takagi and the others soon discovered the body of Mrs. Masuo in the living room of the villa.

I saw Mrs. Masuo's body lying next to the slimming bicycle, with a bookshelf pressed on her back.

Upon seeing this, Officer Takagi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to lift the bookshelf up, only to find that Mrs. Masuo had lost her breath of life and had a dagger stuck across her back.

Moreover, there is a fishing line connected to the bookshelf, and the other end of the fishing line is wrapped around the bicycle pedal.

It was obvious that someone had set up a mechanism in advance, using the books on the bookshelf to fix the dagger in the cracks of the bookshelf, and then taking advantage of the characteristics of the slimming bicycle that became heavier as he stepped on it, he used fishing lines to pull down the bookshelf behind the slimming bicycle and pull down the bicycle while riding it. Mrs. Masao was killed.

Apart from the lost Mrs. Masuo, there is only one person left who can set up such a mechanism in the villa!
"Mr. Masao, do you have anything else to explain now?"

Officer Sato and Officer Takagi reacted and raised their police guns at the same time, aiming at the pale Masuo Keizou.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun and the iron-clad evidence of guilt, Masuo Keizou knew that he was doomed. He fell to his knees with a bang and cried bitterly: "It's all Kayo's fault, it's all... It's her fault..."

In the intermittent crying of Masao Keizo, Bailijing and the others also understood the cause and effect of the whole incident.

It turns out that Mrs. Masuo has always been extravagant and spent money like water. As a result, Katsura Masuo's salary was not enough, so he teamed up with his friends to plan a bank robbery that he directed and acted.

But what Masuo Keizou didn't expect was that when Mrs. Masuo was taken hostage, she actually recognized the hooded robber as her husband's friend.
