Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

"The deceased was named Junichi Yamamura, 41 years old, the manager of Osomatsu Bussan Co., Ltd. The company was located on the 5th to 8th floors of this building. The incident happened in the meeting room on the 7th floor. The deceased suddenly left the meeting room and was killed in the bathroom..."

"The cause of death was a 0.25 caliber pistol. He died on the spot. The corresponding small pistols are mostly carried by women in the United States. However, the cleaning lady who saw the criminal outside said that he was a short man wearing a hat and a windbreaker. He might have been disguised..."

"Also, the deceased's wallet was taken, so it could be a robbery, but murder cannot be ruled out," Sato elaborated.

"Murder? I just saw him this morning at the nearby Jinsen Dental Clinic..."

Maori put on gloves and squatted beside the body to examine it.

The victim was indeed the man in a suit whom I had met once at Jinsen Dental Clinic. It was such a coincidence that he was murdered in the blink of an eye...

The body was lying on its back facing inside the bathroom in the middle of the aisle next to the sink. Based on the situation at the scene, the criminal was shooting in the bathroom and had been lying in ambush there from the beginning.

Maori looked around, picked up a small white pill that had fallen in an inconspicuous corner, and his expression changed slightly.

"What is this?" Sato asked curiously, "Medicine for the dead?"

"probably."

Maori stood up and continued to observe the situation in the bathroom, while the forensic personnel beside him put the missed pills into the evidence bag.

Shancun should have taken painkillers at Jinsen Dental Clinic today, and pills were indeed left at the scene. The problem is that the remaining pills and the bag containing the medicine were not on Shancun.

It is very likely that he was taken away by the murderer after the crime, but why did the murderer do this?

The image of Dr. Kanamori appeared in Maori's mind.

No way?

……

Kanemori Dental Clinic, Maori followed Sato back to this dental clinic again.

According to police investigation, the victim Shancun had no family and was a single nobleman. It was said that he had a girlfriend and seemed to be preparing to get married recently.

As for Yamamura’s girlfriend, she turned out to be the dentist Jinsen.

"Yamamura is dead?" Jin Sen was surprised when he heard the news. "When?"

"Just an hour ago, he was shot in the chest and died on the spot," Sato asked Kanamori, "I heard that Yamamura came to see your dentist this morning, right?"

"Well," Jinsen sighed, "I didn't expect Mr. Yamamura to be dead..."

Sato looked back at Maori and asked curiously, "You and Mr. Yamamura are probably in love, right? You don't seem too sad about your lover's murder."

"Really?" Jin Sen shook his head and sat on the sofa. "We have broken up, and I am a person who doesn't panic when things happen. Do I have to cry bitterly? It's not that I'm not sad. The person I just met is gone in the blink of an eye. I am still very sad..."

"Sorry, can I ask why you broke up?" Sato had a headache.

This kind of woman is the hardest to deal with, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything out of her...

"Well," Jinsen paused and asked, "Am I a suspect?"

"We are now questioning all the relevant personnel," Sato calmed down and continued, "We found that the murderer seemed to have taken away the painkillers from Mr. Yamamura..."

"But it has nothing to do with me. I have an alibi for an hour ago."

"Alibi?"

"Yes, I have been here all the time, and Mr. Maori can testify to that." Jinsen turned his gaze to Maori.

Facing everyone's inquiring gazes, Mao Li nodded slightly.

"It would take at least five minutes to get from here to the crime scene. Dr. Kanemori was with me at the time, and the murderer was lying in wait in the bathroom. If we didn't know when Mr. Yamamura would go to the bathroom, we would have to have plenty of time. Dr. Kanemori couldn't be the culprit..."

"I see," Sato sighed helplessly, "We can only wait until we have completed the portrait of the suspect based on the testimony of eyewitnesses. I hope Ms. Kanamori can help me then."

"Ok."

It was already evening when they left Kanemori Dental Clinic. Sato continued to investigate witnesses, while Maori stayed.

Although I said that Dr. Kanamori could not be the murderer, I still had many doubts in my heart and felt that this case was not that simple.

First of all, choosing the restroom as the crime scene is irrational if it is considered a robbery. Shooting in broad daylight in a place like the restroom in a building, even if the criminal is stupid and inexperienced, he would not do that, right?

Most people don't carry too much cash on them, so there's no need to shoot and kill people for a little cash.

Taking all factors into consideration, the possibility of murder is still greater. In this case, Dr. Jinsen is a big suspect, but there is no crime...

"Mr. Maori?" Jinsen walked out of the dental hospital with his bag, closed the door, and saw Maori standing by the escalator. He was stunned for a moment and greeted him, "Thanks to you just now, thank you for helping me testify."

"Nothing, I'm just telling the truth," Mao Li came back to his senses, smiled and went downstairs with Jinsen, "Is Doctor Jinsen off work?"

"Well, go back early today," Jinsen said with a smile, "Let's have a meal together. It's my treat."

"How can this be so embarrassing? I should be the one treating..."

"That's it."

……

In a western restaurant near Jinsen Dental Clinic, couples are enjoying their evening candlelight dinner under the warm lights.

Maori looked at the ambiguous atmosphere around him with some embarrassment. He felt like he was dating Eri behind her back, and with a very beautiful woman with great temperament.

"Mr. Maori," Jinsen took a sip of red wine and smiled, "If it weren't for your help today, it would have been really troublesome. The police officer seemed to think I was a big suspect..."

"It's nothing,"

Mao Li picked up his knife and fork, and while dealing with the food on the table, he asked curiously, "Um, Dr. Kanamori, what kind of person is Mr. Yamamura?"

"Yamamura," Jinsen crossed his fingers and recalled, "Yamamura and I were in the same class in high school, but we didn't fall in love until later, when we met by chance on the street about seven or eight years later..."

"Dr. Kanamori and Mr. Yamamura are classmates?" Maori looked at Kanamori in surprise.

"Yes, it was very sweet before, but it dragged on for 8 years afterwards," Jinsen sighed as he drank his red wine, "We've been busy lately and haven't seen each other much..."

"Have you never thought about getting married?"

"I've never thought about it. I have no intention of getting married. For me, career is more important than marriage..."

"Really?" Maori nodded in approval. "Everyone says you're the best dentist around here. It would be a shame if you got married and retired..."

"You feel the same way, right?" Jinsen laughed happily. "In fact, Yamamura and I feel more like partners, so when he proposed to break up, I agreed. It's not painful at all."

"Oh."

Maori looked at Jinsen calmly.

She said it was not painful, but why did she sound like she cared? Do women really like to say the opposite?

"Mr. Yamamura, did you break up because of the marriage? Or is there a third party or something..."

"Let's not discuss this topic today," Jinsen's smile froze, and he grabbed Mao Li's wrist and said, "I say, you eat too many desserts. Didn't you say you should eat less sweets recently?"

"I accidentally forgot..."

Maori put down his knife and fork, took the napkin and wiped his mouth.

"Remember to pay attention next time," Jinsen said with a smile, "By the way, do you want to go brush your teeth?"

"Ah? Do I have to brush my teeth?"

"Not necessarily, it's just that brushing your teeth after eating is better for your teeth... I've developed a habit. Even if I eat a little, I'll feel uneasy if I don't brush my teeth, as if I'm sick. Haha, don't worry about it." Jinsen said with a smile as he stood up and left his seat.

Maori took out the Kanamori Dental toothbrush, but did not follow him to the bathroom. He just quietly looked at Kanamori's back.

There is a motive, and he has seen many cases of emotional disputes, but the most critical time of the crime is a problem.

He was a witness who served as an alibi, and the murderer was lying in wait in the bathroom, waiting for the victim to come over…

Maori tapped his forehead with his finger.

The meal did not achieve its purpose at all. He did not get any clues from Dr. Jinsen, but he was quite sure that Jinsen was a big suspect.

Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences. This incident is obviously a carefully planned murder. There must be a way to kill Shancun while cleaning his teeth and crossing a 5-minute distance...

……

The next day, downstairs in the office building of Aosong Commodities Company.

"This is the portrait based on eyewitness testimony," Sato handed a drawing to Maori, "but this kind of dress seems to be quite popular recently, so it's impossible to identify the criminal..."

Maori took the portrait.

A jazz hat, glasses, a mustache, and a coat...

Although the painting is better than Sato's, it is indeed not easy to find the criminal based on this kind of portrait. The reason why he is dressed like the popular clothes in the area should be that the criminal deliberately disguised himself.

"In addition," Sato continued, "before the incident, someone saw this man walk to the urinal and was startled by the water flowing out automatically... That's all we know for now."

Maori returned the portrait to Sato and looked around: "Maybe it's his first time in a men's restroom. He hasn't seen this kind of automatic urinal."

"Eh?"

Chapter 129: The Hot Girls Being Attacked

"Officer Sato probably didn't know that either, right?"

Maori continued to ask.

"You mean," Sato asked in surprise, "the murderer is a woman?"

"It's just a possibility."

Maori looked around the office building: "Is there a unisex toilet here?"

Sato pointed to the office building and said, "It's the coffee shop next to it."

At Jinsen Dental Clinic, Mao Li pushed the door open and the bell rang immediately.

Unlike yesterday which was a holiday, there were not many people queuing outside today, and only the sound of electric drills could be heard from the treatment room.

"Mr. Maori," the female assistant noticed Maori and said quickly, "The doctor is still busy inside..."

"I know."

Mao Li stood at the door and looked at the bell that kept ringing as the door swung open, and asked the female assistant, "Did Dr. Nakamori go out between 2 and 3 yesterday afternoon?"

The female assistant looked a little depressed and shook her head slightly, "I don't think so. I'm not sure... Isn't the doctor with you all the time?"

"That's right, but..." Mao Li glanced in the direction of the clinic and continued, "What were you doing at that time?"

"Me?" The female assistant looked straight at Mao Li, "Am I going to be suspected too?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a policeman, I'm just asking casually," Mao Li smiled, "Can you tell me what happened yesterday?"

"I am cleaning a patient's teeth..."

"Were there other patients yesterday afternoon?"

"Yes, it's Mr. Sasuke. I came here when I went to buy cold medicine for the doctor. He said that the doctor must see the teeth..."

"Mr. Sasuke?" Maori asked, "Where was Dr. Kanamori at that time?"

"Isn't the doctor checking your teeth?" the female assistant asked curiously.

"Really? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"No, no..."

"Then do you still remember Mr. Sasuke?" Maori covered the upper half of his face, "Could it be me?"

"what are you talking about?"

"You should at least remember the shape of your mouth, right?"

Maori opened his mouth and showed his teeth to the female assistant.

"How was it? Coincidentally, I was cleaning my teeth yesterday..."

"I... I don't know," the female assistant lowered her head and ran away hurriedly, "I don't know anything..."

Mao Li leaned against the front desk and rubbed his brows.

At this point, the female assistant obviously understood that the so-called "Mr. Sasuke" did not exist at all.

Dr. Jinsen was still busy in the clinic. The sound of the electric drill was frightening, and it seemed that it would not end for a while.

Mao Li walked into the office and his eyes swept across the locked iron cabinet and fell on some documents.

Apparently, Shancun also took dental X-rays yesterday, and they were just placed together with his information...

When I opened the file, there was not much content except a registration form and dental X-rays. It did not mention how the treatment was done, nor what medicines were prescribed. It only recorded general information such as the name and the clinic.

Like him, Yamamura was treated by Dr. Kanamori in the Bear Room...
