Chapter 378 Encounter
The two men looked solemn, and Heiji stood up first to disperse the tourists who were standing around watching.
He also called the bathhouse staff and asked them to block the entrance and not let any suspect go.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is slow in solving cases, but is very quick in responding to police calls.
What surprised Amemiya and the others was that it was not just police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department who came with Officer Megure.
There is also Kogoro Mouri's family, a little detective, and Eri Kisaki who looks unhappy.
Eri Kisaki was in a bad mood today. Her daughter had taken the initiative to invite her out for dinner, but when she arrived at the restaurant, her annoying and decadent ex-husband was also there.
She immediately understood that her daughter's purpose of inviting her today was not to reunite with her, but to make her and her ex-husband reconcile and remarry.
Kisaki Eri was very sad. She thought that after Xiaolan saw her being close to Amemiya last time, she would give up this unrealistic idea.
But in the end, my daughter still couldn't understand.
It seems like it's time to make things clear with Xiaolan.
Kisaki Eri was so disappointed that it was clearly reflected on her face. The lost expression made Mouri Ran realize that she had done something that made her mother very unhappy.
My eyes were red for a moment and I couldn't express the grievance in my heart.
There was nothing wrong with her. She just wanted a complete and healthy family.
Mao Lilan held her head up stubbornly, refusing to take her eyes off her mother's, as if she wanted an explanation.
But Kisaki Eri just had a cold face and didn't say a word, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Kogoro Mouri is as decadent as ever, but he has made use of his shrunken body to earn the title of the famous detective "Sleeping Kogoro". At this moment, he dares not even breathe, let alone touch his ex-wife's whiskers.
This atmosphere lasted until the end of the banquet, but a murder case suddenly occurred in the restaurant, which slightly relieved the solemn atmosphere.
So, Conan solved another case with the help of Kogoro Mouri who was paralyzed by the intoxicating needle. The policeman leading the team was Officer Megure, and the next moment he received a call from the police at Kamakura Beach.
Kogoro Mouri, who had just woken up from anesthesia, expressed his desire to go over to help, and Conan was also actively looking forward to and encouraging him.
When Mao Lilan saw that her mother actually refused to say a word to her, she panicked even more. In the end, she couldn't stand the pressure and gave in first.
"Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have invited Dad to the dinner without your consent."
"Mom, can you take care of me?"
Hearing her daughter's crying voice, the coldness in Kisaragi's face lessened a little, but she still did not easily pay attention to her daughter's pleas.
If I don't help my daughter improve enough this time, she will probably still fantasize about remarrying Kogoro Mori in the future.
But she already belongs to Amemiya completely, and will not allow anyone to interfere in her feelings, even if that person is her own daughter!
Kisaki Eri took a deep breath and turned her head away from looking at Mouri Ran. This made her burst into tears and she covered her chest, feeling very heartbroken.
The situation became increasingly awkward, and neither Kogoro Mouri nor Conan dared to interrupt.
As Inspector Megure, a former colleague of Detective Mori, he is naturally aware of the marital problems of the unreliable detective.
In order to help his old colleague, Inspector Megure agreed to Kogoro Mouri's request to go to the next crime scene.
He also kindly invited Kisaki Eri to go with him under the pretext of taking notes. Kisaki Eri didn't want to make things awkward in front of so many people, so she agreed reluctantly.
When they drove to the crime scene, the Mori family unexpectedly discovered that Amemiya was also at the scene. Amemiya gave Kisaki Eri a surprised look.
How will you be here?
Kisaki Eri shook her head, indicating that now was not the time to talk about this. Amamiya understood what she meant, and turned to the police who were starting to handle the scene to report the information they had collected with Heiji.
"The deceased was suspected to have been tied up before her death. Clear marks of strangulation can be seen on her neck, and the signs of her resistance are also very clear, indicating that the deceased did not drown accidentally."
Heiji then continued Amamiya and said, "The deceased was about 100 meters away from the beach at the time. Normally, swimming or playing in the water would not go such a long and dangerous distance."
"According to eyewitnesses at the scene, there were several suspects swimming near the deceased at the time."
Noticing the key information, Officer Megure waved his hand and hurriedly asked his men to investigate the deceased's network of relationships and the witnesses, and then asked in confusion:
"Well, I want to ask, who are you?"
He knew Amemiya, and the last case in which Kisaki Eri and Amemiya were transferred to Osaka for investigation left a very deep impression on him.
Who is this equally calm and confident dark-skinned high school student? How come he is so skilled in investigating cases?
Heiji adjusted the baseball cap he had put on again after landing, and smiled with his white teeth: "I'm a high school detective from Osaka, Hattori Heiji. You should have heard of my name."
Hattori?
Could it be?
Hattori of Kansai, Kudo of Kansai!
Inspector Megure seemed to have remembered something, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "You are the high school detective who is as famous as Kudo brother!"
"I am just a humble person."
After Amamiya had calmed down the frightened and worried Hattori Shizuka and Kazuha, he turned around and saw Heiji laughing triumphantly. He interrupted unhappily:
"Inspector Megure, he is the only son of the Chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, but it is more important to solve the case first!"
"Yes, yes, Amamiya is right. Let us help Officer Megure solve the case as soon as possible!"
Inspector Megure was startled and looked at the two people who seemed to have a good relationship with surprise. Thinking about the last investigation, he became a little concerned.
He distributed a copy of the information his men had just investigated to them, and then he spoke:
"According to the investigation, there were three suspects at the scene, namely Inoue Runyuki, Teraoka Osamu, and Tsuruta Miho."
"Mr. Inoue was a student who was studying for a driver's license at the same time as the deceased Ms. Emi. Mr. Teraoka was a lifeguard at the bathhouse. He was usually responsible for first aid and temporary needs of tourists. Ms. Tsuruta was the creditor of the deceased Ms. Emi. According to the testimony, she owed her 200,000 yen."
"They were all people that the deceased, Ms. Emi, knew or had contact with before they died. They came to the bathhouse today at the invitation of Mr. Inoue, and Ms. Tsuruta came here to collect debts. Mr. Teraoka was asked by Ms. Emi to give him swimming lessons. That's the general situation."
"Brother Hattori, what do you think?"
After Inspector Megure enthusiastically gave a brief introduction to the case, he looked at the dark-skinned boy with anticipation, not expecting that Kogoro Mouri, who was jumping up and down beside him, could solve the case immediately.
Conan also swiftly sneaked behind Amemiya and tried to take a peek at the investigation report, but was picked up by Kazuha, who smiled and taught him:
"Children should not disturb adults from solving cases. You should stay behind adults in such dangerous places~"
Chapter 379: Unjust Species
"Sister, sister, I just want to take a look, can you put me down?"
Conan, who was lifted into the air, showed a charming smile, and his expression changed to act cute so quickly that even Amamiya looked at him sideways.
When I looked carefully, I found that there was something inexplicably strange and weird about this little kid, as if the child's face was not what his original body looked like.
Amemiya's heart moved. Since his physical fitness was strengthened to an astonishing level, his five senses were also improved to an incredible level.
Almost every warning brought by intuition is very accurate, and with the blessing of mysterious superpowers, this intuition is extremely powerful.
After taking a deep look at Conan who seemed to be making trouble, Amamiya smiled at Kazuha and said, "Forget it, since this kid wants to watch, let him watch it."
"Yeah, thank you, big brother, you are such a good person!"
He Ye naturally would not go against Amemiya's will. She rubbed the little boy's hair before putting him down again.
At this time, Mao Lilan came up, grabbed Conan, whose detective soul was about to burn, and said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, my child caused you trouble."
"Conan, haven't I told you many times not to disturb people at work at the crime scene?"
"But this big brother said it's okay."
Conan was dissatisfied and resisted, but the child's body was too small to have much strength, and he was completely unable to escape from the palm of the karate master, Mao Li Ran.
Amemiya couldn't help laughing and greeted her, "Ms. Maori, long time no see. Since this little friend Conan wants to watch so much, let him watch for a while."
Mao Lilan was embarrassed, fearing that her naughty child would affect the police at the scene, but she thought of the kindness that Amamiya had shown to her family, so she reluctantly said:
"Well, if Amamiya-kun says so, Conan must not mess up!"
"Hi!"
Why does my childhood sweetheart know this handsome guy I met by chance, and they seem to get along quite closely?
The excited little detective Conan didn't think of the key at all, and just focused on solving the case.
Two adults and one child huddled together to look at the report. They enthusiastically raised the issues they had found, and the outline of the case became clearer after the discussion.
"The murderer should be this person."
"Yes, the key is to find the murder weapon used in the method."
"However, the murderer committed the crime in the sea, and the rope used to strangle the victim may have already sunk into the sea. It is almost impossible to recover it."
Conan and Heiji were discussing heatedly, staring at each other, and were thinking about how to find the murder weapon.
"But the murderer still has the most important thing that he can't clean up. Let's go, it's time to catch the murderer."
Amemiya had prepared a plan before them. He stood up and said with a smile, "Go and ask Inspector Megure to gather the suspect together for questioning."
The two famous detectives from Kanto and Kansai were not mediocre. After Amemiya's secret reminder, they immediately thought of the key and a smile of confidence appeared on the corners of their mouths.
Inside the bathhouse studio that was temporarily used as an interrogation site.
Amemiya smiled and asked, "Mr. Inoue, you invited Miss Huimei here because you wanted to pursue her, right?"
Inoue Runzhi replied calmly: "Yes."
Amemiya glanced at him with a smile, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned to the next target suspect.
"Then Mr. Teraoka appeared in that sea area because Ms. Emi asked him to teach him how to swim, right?"
Teraoka said in panic, "Yes, yes, I didn't even know her before. Teaching her how to swim is just part of my job."
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he added, "And I only taught for a while before I left. Mr. Inoue over there volunteered to take over my job, and Ms. Huimei agreed."
Inoue Runzhi quickly retorted: "It's obviously because your teaching was not effective, that's why I took the initiative to replace you!"
"Calm down, calm down, everyone."
Amemiya stopped the quarrel in time and looked at the debt collector with a smile: "What about Miss Tsuruta?"
Miho Tsuruta snorted disdainfully: "I came here today just to ask for money. That bastard Huimei owes me 200,000 yen and hasn't paid it back in five years."
"If she hadn't said she would pay me back today, I wouldn't have come to this place!"
Conan pretended to be cute and provoked: "Hey, then it seems that you, Sister Tsuruta, have the most sufficient motive for murder~"
After taking a last puff of her cigarette, Tsuruta Miho threw the butt to the ground and stomped it out, responding impatiently:
"A mere 200,000 yen is not worth committing a crime."
"I've urged for this money countless times, but Huimei always said she would definitely pay it next time. I've long given up hope."
"But what's strange is that it was Huimei who took the initiative to call me to ask me to come over to pay back the money this time. Here, this is the phone call she made that day and the message on LINE."
Miho Tsuruta showed the phone interface to everyone nonchalantly. The content was indeed the deceased's active invitation. However, Amamiya was finally able to see the dagger and suddenly asked one last question:
"Ms. Huimei has been in debt for many years. According to the police investigation, her financial situation is also very bad. How come she suddenly has money to pay back Ms. Tsuruta?"
Tsuruta Miho shrugged helplessly: "How would I know about this kind of thing? Who knows where she got the money from?"
Suddenly he was stunned again, and said hesitantly: "No, I seem to have some impression."
"During the first phone call, Huimei seemed to have told me that she had recently caught a big enemy and made a lot of money from him and could pay it back to me."
"Besides, she also said that after taking the money, she would kick the man away."
"That man couldn't be you, Mr. Inoue?!"
Inoue Runzhi waved his hands uncomfortably: "No, no, no, how could it be me?"
Without Amamiya's intervention, Heiji confidently stepped forward and said, "Then would Mr. Inoue mind showing me the chat records between you and Ms. Emi before she died?"
"Even if Mr. Inoue doesn't want to, the police can still investigate your various transfer records on the Internet or in the bank~"
"I think for such a large amount of money, few people would use cash, right?"
The more Heiji spoke, the paler Inoue Junzhi's face became. His body trembled slightly and became tense.
Amemiya inadvertently moved a few steps, just blocking the escape route, and ruthlessly delivered the final blow.
