Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

When he lifted the white cloth, the mustache detective was shocked.

The old man lying on the ground, who looked like he had committed suicide, was his client, Mr. Gamo.

died……

"Dad, he told you on the phone last night that he had given up hope because he couldn't find any witnesses. It can't be that..." Xiaolan was also shocked.

"Not really..." Lin Feng squatted down and took a look, with a puzzled look on his face.

He also heard about this commission.

Isn't it just that there's no alibi? It's not like he's been convicted. Why are you so desperate?
Conan also frowned, totally unable to understand why this old man would choose to commit suicide.

"What's going on!" A tall middle-aged man wearing glasses ran over.

"This is Mr. Kyosuke Arai, the nephew of Mr. Gamo, who has come to identify the body." Officer Takagi was responsible for introducing the new characters with a small notebook in hand.

"Brother Maori?"

Inspector Megure asked about the details of the commission.

"It's like this..." Uncle Maori also spoke the truth with a heavy face.

"I see. This way we can infer Mr. Gamo's actions last night."

"He may have felt desperate about the progress of the investigation after talking to Brother Maori on the phone at 8 o'clock last night, so he drove here alone and ended his life by himself."

"It takes about an hour to drive here from his home. If the suicide time is 9pm, it coincides with our estimated time of death."

Inspector Megure stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the knot on the tree, and made an inference.

If Mr. Gamo committed suicide, then there would be nothing wrong with this statement.

"But if Mr. Gamo is innocent, there is no need to feel so desperate just because you can't find an alibi, right?"

Uncle Maori couldn't figure this out either.

The police haven't found any unfavorable evidence in the death case of Mr. Kinugasa Eiichi. What are you afraid of?
"In fact, Mr. Kusuo once had a painful experience of being wrongfully arrested." said a middle-aged criminal policeman.

Officer Hisamoto is a detective at the Josai Police Station.

The experience he mentioned about Mr. Pu Sheng being arrested with resentment was handled by the Chengxi Police Station.

Mr. Eiji Kinugasa, who died this time, was ambushed and beaten one night five years ago. Based on the testimony and identification of eyewitnesses, the police from the Josai Police Station arrested Mr. Gamo.

A few days later, the police found Mr. Gamo's alibi and released him.

"I remember that my uncle once said that the police were just arresting people indiscriminately, which made him scared." Mr. Arai, the nephew of Mr. Gamo, nodded and said.

"Because you don't want to experience the same thing again, you feel extremely uneasy and desperate..." Inspector Megure crossed his arms and thought.

"We are also conducting the search with a cautious attitude. It was because of the mistake made by Takeoka that the incident happened back then." Officer Hisamoto of the Josai Police Station shook his head and said.

"You mean, Takeoka?"

"Is it Takeoka Isao?" Uncle Mori was surprised when he heard the name.

"Yes, at that time, he resigned directly in order to show that he was responsible for the incident," said Officer Hisamoto.

"Is this Mr. Takeoka who used to come occasionally?" Xiaolan still remembers him.

This guy was in the same class as Uncle Maori when he was studying at the police academy, and they had a good relationship.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Already caught?!"

"I understand, hurry back!" Officer Hisamoto received a call and unexpectedly found out that the murderer of Mr. Kinugasa Ei had been caught. "If that man had been arrested earlier, my uncle wouldn't have done such a stupid thing." Mr. Arai clenched his fists and said.

"Is your uncle seeing a psychiatrist?" Lin Feng asked his nephew.

"I don't know, what does that mean?"

"He committed suicide because he was afraid that he would be wrongly accused in the future. Are you sure he is okay?"

This kind of question might be a little abrupt at this time, but the other party didn't seem very friendly or filial, and he hasn't even looked at the corpse yet.

“Maybe he was too scared. Who knows what the police did after they arrested him…” The nephew couldn’t explain it clearly and blamed the incident on the police who were not doing their job well.

"It must be scary here at night. There's not even any light." Conan said, looking up.

"By the way, it will become pitch dark here at night, right?" Uncle Maori immediately became alert and felt that he had found a flaw.

"That's right, there was a flashlight at the feet of Mr. Gamo's body."

Officer Takagi nodded and replied, Unfortunately, there were no flaws.

"Why did you prepare all these things? You came all the way here from home. You could have committed suicide at home if you wanted to," Uncle Maori asked.

You know, it takes an hour to drive from Mr. Gamo's house to here.

At eight o'clock in the evening, I talked to myself at home and said I was in despair.

Then take your things and go to the woods in the suburbs to commit suicide at nine o'clock?

"There must be a reason. The criminal must have a reason for Mr. Gamo to appear in this place."

"Inspector Megure, this is definitely a homicide case!"

Uncle Maori said as he thought seriously.

"..."

Lin Feng saw a gratified expression on Conan's face...

"I understand. We will conduct a more detailed search."

Officer Megure nodded and immediately prepared to lead the team to Mr. Gamo's home, which was an hour's drive away. Lin Feng drove behind with the Mori family of three.

"It's more likely that the criminal wants to create an alibi." Lin Feng said while driving.

At eight o'clock last night, Mr. Gamo spoke to Uncle Mori on the home phone.

Even if the criminal killed him immediately after he made the call, it would take an hour to transport the body to the grove.

In other words, the real murderer should not have an alibi during this period of time.

"Mr. Kasumi died between seven and nine o'clock..."

"Because of the phone call to Dad, the time of death should be between eight and nine o'clock..."

"It's too complicated..." Xiaolan thought about it for a while and felt a little confused.

"Brother Lin Feng means that this is a trap set by the criminal. There might be something wrong with the phone call at eight o'clock." Conan said.

"No suspects have been found yet, so it's too early to say anything."

Uncle Maori said while looking out the window.

That phone call, I clearly had a conversation with him, how could there be a problem... (End of this chapter)
