Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

"Mr. Maori?" Dr. Jinsen happened to meet Maori coming out of the office when he was walking out of the consulting room after finishing his work. "Why did you come here early?"

“I think it’s better to come earlier.”

Mao Li looked at the female assistant who was walking away with her head down, then turned his gaze to the little bear and little white rabbit ornaments outside the clinic. They were no different from yesterday...

"Little bears and little rabbits are cute, right?" Jin Sen chuckled as he walked into the Little Bear Clinic. "Come in, I'll show you your dental X-ray."

"Well, do you really want to extract the tooth?"

"Hmm..." Jinsen placed the X-ray film on the light, "The decayed tooth has already touched the nerve. It's best not to remove it. The nerve must be cut off to cure it..."

"It will hurt a lot if it's the nerve, right? It's more painful than having a tooth pulled..."

"It's okay, I'll give you anesthesia."

"I hate injections," Mao Li shrugged and sat on the lift chair. "How long will the anesthesia last?"

"Eh?" Jinsen tightened his fingers slightly.

"Because it will be painful when the medicine takes effect, right?" Maori said with a smile.

"Didn't I prescribe painkillers for you yesterday? You can take one pill when you feel pain..."

"I see. That's how Mr. Yamamura treated you yesterday..."

"Eh?"

Jinsen paused.

Mao Li said calmly: "Actually, this dental film is not mine. When I came to your office just now, I accidentally mixed up the two dental films. This one is Mr. Yamamura's X-ray dental film, but you, doctor, didn't even notice it..."

"How, how could this happen?" Jinsen looked at Maori suddenly and his face froze.

"Why didn't you notice it, doctor? The doctor clearly helped me take the X-ray of my teeth yesterday. Even though the location of my cavity is similar to his, you can tell from the X-ray that it's not that serious..."

Maori sat up straight and looked directly at Jinsen.

"Or were you, doctor, not really looking at the X-ray yesterday, but thinking about other things?"

"What are you talking about?" Jin Sen's eyelids twitched, and he scratched his fingers and forced a smile, "What else can I think about..."

Mao Li crossed his fingers. "The murderer was not waiting for Mr. Yamamura in the restroom by chance. He knew from the beginning that Mr. Yamamura would go there at that time. Mr. Yamamura did not go to the restroom. He went to the restroom outside the meeting room to take medicine because the anesthetic had worn off and he had a severe toothache..."

"I didn't kill anyone," Jinsen frowned, "Didn't you say that too? I was with you the whole afternoon yesterday..."

"My eyes were covered at the time. Even if it was another doctor, I wouldn't know who it was if he didn't speak. Coincidentally, your female assistant was also cleaning the teeth of a patient named Sasuke..."

"Are you saying that I'm using you to provide my alibi?"

"That's also possible..."

"But if that's the case," Kanamori said with a smile, "Ms. Segawa would be an accomplice, but she would never help me."

"why?"

"Because she is Shancun's new lover."

"No wonder," Maori continued, "the reason for the breakup is that Mr. Yamamura fell in love with the doctor's beautiful young assistant... But what if Miss Segawa didn't know about it at the beginning? Just tell her that a patient suddenly came and needed the doctor's treatment, let her pretend to be you temporarily, and then hide the exchange of the bear and the rabbit pendants from her, the effect will be the same..."

Jin Sen's face darkened: "I said I didn't kill anyone. I was with you all afternoon yesterday."

"After the treatment yesterday afternoon, there was a faint mint smell when you took off your mask here. There was also the same smell after dinner last night..." Mao Li said in a deep voice, "Doctor Kanamori must brush his teeth after eating. If you are in the clinic in the afternoon, what can you eat during the treatment?"

Jin Sen laughed dryly and stood up: "You must be mistaken, it should be the smell of the mask, because it has just been disinfected..."

"The doctor ordered something while waiting for the restroom in the cafe, right?" Maori interrupted, "and then washed his mouth while changing clothes in the restroom... Actually, when Ms. Segawa told me that there was a patient named Sasuke, I was thinking that even though I was in the clinic at the time, there was no reason why I couldn't hear the bell at all..."

Jin Sen's expression became more and more ugly: "What do you want to say?"

"In order to avoid being noticed, the doctor tampered with the bell when he left, so Ms. Segawa thought you were treating me next door..."

"enough!"

Jinsen turned aside with a stern face: "I feel a little unwell today... Mr. Maori, please go back."

"doctor……"

"Don't come again."

Jinsen packed up his tools and ignored Maori.

"Doctor Kanamori," Maori stopped at the door of the clinic, turned around and looked at Kanamori calmly, "Mr. Yamamura fell down in the bathroom facing the bathroom. The pills in his hand and the bag containing the medicine were all taken away. Only an inconspicuous pill was left in the corner..."

"Normally, when taking medicine, one would just turn his head and look elsewhere, but Mr. Yamamura turned his whole body away. It seemed that he was surprised to meet someone he knew. He even held the pill in his hand..."

"So what?"

Mao Li shook his head. "Indeed, I haven't found any evidence yet, but your alibi is no longer effective... Think about it and see if you can use other methods to prove your alibi. Also, remember to take care of the gun..."

"……Eh?"

Jinsen opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be stuck, and he stared at Maori with wide eyes.

"Why, Dr. Jinsen, do you think I'm going to report you?"

Mao Li shrugged, "You're the best dentist around here. If you were gone, everyone would be in big trouble."

"As for that scumbag Mr. Yamamura, excuse me, who is he?"

……

The next day after fixing his tooth decay, Maori wanted to have a good rest at home, but Inspector Megure called him and took him to an Italian restaurant on the street of Haido Department Store.

"The suspect announced is about 150 centimeters tall. The three girls attacked this time. The only thing they had in common was that they were wearing fashionable clothes... Takagi, give the photo to Maori brother."

Maori took the three photos and looked at them.

Silver lipstick, dark skin, looking at it reminds me of Hattori...

"Why are they all so dark? Could it be that the criminals have a grudge against dark-skinned people?"

"Ah?" Sato smiled bitterly, "They are not black-skinned... These are the hot girls from Shibuya 109. This kind of makeup is very popular among young girls now..."

"Really?" Mao Li was stunned. "It's almost as dark as chocolate."

"Ahem!" Officer Megure coughed heavily, interrupting Mao Li's scattered thoughts, and said seriously, "Takagi, tell me the details again."

"Yes," Takagi explained while looking at the photo, "The first person to be attacked was Miss Mizutani Ryoko. Two weeks ago, she stopped her car to wait for the red light, and was suddenly hit from behind by a car. She got out of the car to argue, but was beaten with a metal baseball bat by the gangster..."

"The next person to be attacked was Ms. Endo Hitomi. Ten days ago, she was attacked by a metal baseball bat when she came out of the restroom in the park late at night..."

"The last one was Miss Ishiguro Michiko who was attacked yesterday. Because her phone was out of battery, she drove to a phone booth to make a call. When she walked out of the phone booth, she was beaten by the gangsters..."

"telephone booth?"

"Yes," Officer Megure nodded, "Fortunately, all three of them survived, but the trouble is that they have nothing to do with each other except for their fashionable looks, and they all said they can't remember ever offending anyone. It's really a headache."

Mao Li put the three photos together, pointed at the chocolate-skinned girl sitting in front of the toilet in the middle and asked: "This person is wearing a man's coat... Was there anyone with her at the time?"

"No," Gao Mu responded, "I took it off and gave it to her after I arrived at the crime scene, because she was only wearing a sleeveless jumpsuit at the time and looked very cold..."

"That's strange. Why did she go to the park to use the restroom in such thin clothes late at night?"

"Well...she didn't say her coat was stolen..."

Takagi and the others frowned and became concerned.

"Speaking of which, because this girl has been mentally unstable since the accident, we haven't formally questioned her yet..."

"Could it be because it's become fashionable for girls to wear thin clothes these days?"

Officer Sato guessed.

"Even if it's popular, there's no need to dress like this and run to the park alone late at night... If I'm not mistaken, there are probably two common points," Mao Li tapped the table lightly, his eyes sparkling, "The first is the 109 hot girl's outfit, and the second is the car..."

"Car?" Inspector Megure was stunned.

"Because she was in the warm car and was about to go back to the car after using the restroom when she was attacked by the criminals."

Maori explained.

"So," Officer Megure responded, "the victims of the first and third incidents were also attacked after getting off the bus... It seems necessary to find the second victim to confirm the incident..."

"However," Mao Li held up his chin and continued, "With only these two points, we still can't determine the criminal's motive... black makeup, car... could the criminal have been stimulated? I also encountered a case in Izu. The murderer was hurt by his ex-girlfriend, so he kept killing girls who dyed their hair like his ex-girlfriend..."

Officer Megure looked horrible, and stood up suddenly: "I think we should go back and investigate first! Brother Maori, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Ok?"

Mao Li looked at Megure's violent reaction in confusion, "Don't you have a trapping plan?"

"No, there's no need to trap them again," Officer Megure said solemnly, "Let's find a few more victims and investigate them in detail..."

Sonoko walked into the restaurant carrying a lot of bags, followed by Ai, and happened to run into Inspector Megure and his group who were about to leave: "Inspector Megure, are you all here? Did something happen again..."

"Sonoko," Maori asked curiously when he saw that there were only Sonoko and Ai, "Where's Ran? Shouldn't she be with you?"

"She said she wanted to go to the bathroom," Yuanzi took out her cell phone and called Xiaolan, "Hey, Xiaolan, are you ready..."

Maori looked at Sonoko and was slightly stunned when he noticed the ring, bracelet and necklace she was wearing.

The girls in the photo just now do look like this...

Chapter 130 The Secret of Height

"What?" Yuanzi suddenly shouted, "You can't find the exit? Then where are you now? The underground parking lot? Please, we are defeated by your poor sense of direction. We will go to find you right away..."

"Wait a minute, Sonoko," Maori stood up and interrupted, "Where did you get the necklace and ring on your hand?"

"These," Yuanzi raised her wrist, "are from the department store. They are having a special sale for the millennium. Just take your invoice to the exit to check it. For every 10,000 yuan you spend, you can choose a gift you like..."

"Huh?" Officer Megure looked at Sonoko in confusion, stopped in his tracks, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this the jewelry worn by the victims?"

"Yes, indeed," Gao Mu compared the photos and said, "Although not all three are there, but all three of them are wearing this kind of accessories!"

"So, the three of you are customers of the same department store!"

"Ah?" Yuanzi held the phone blankly, "Did something happen?"

……

In the underground parking lot of Beihu Department Store, a young woman dressed as a 109 hot girl was lying between cars with blood all over her head. She leaned against the wall with her lifeless eyes wide open, and there was a blood mark on the wall behind her where she slipped.

"Kaka!"

Forensic personnel at the scene collected evidence, flashbulbs flashed, and a crowd gradually gathered outside the blockade.

"The victim's name is Aizawa Tae, she's 20 years old, and used to be a clerk in this department store. She was fired a year ago and is currently unemployed..." Takagi reported.

"The criminals are finally serious," Officer Megure said solemnly as he looked at the corpse, "It's a girl dressed like this, and this is the underground parking lot of a department store, and it's also related to the car..."

Maori and Ai stood at the back, looked at the corpse silently, then turned to Sonoko and Ran who were leaning against each other and still a little scared.

"By the way, why are the three of you here today?"

"Of course we need to buy something," said Sonoko, "so I called Ran and Ai out as well."

"Duohui!" A young man suddenly cried and broke through the police blockade, looking at the girl's body in the corner in pain, "Duohui! What on earth do you policemen do?! Why didn't you catch the serial criminal earlier? Duohui's death is all your fault! A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Maori turned around and looked at the hysterical young man. Inspector Megure, who was facing the young man, became terrible again. He fell to the ground with his head covered in pain.

"Officer Megure?"

"What's wrong, Inspector?!"

Takagi hurriedly supported Megure.

"I'm fine," Megure shook his head and said solemnly, "Continue the investigation."

Ai looked at Officer Megure who looked irritated, and whispered to Maori: "Has something happened to Officer Megure before? He has been acting strange since you mentioned the high school girl being hit..."

Mao Li frowned. "I don't know if you ask me so suddenly, because that was a case that happened before I became a criminal police officer."

"Inspector,"

Takagi looked at the young man who was speaking without thinking, and explained to Inspector Megure, "This person is the victim's boyfriend Shirakawa Noriyuki. I heard that he wanted to take the victim to meet his father. They met at this department store today... Coincidentally, his father is the owner of this department store. The three of them originally planned to dine at the French restaurant where he is the chef..."

Sato continued, "It seems that the deceased got off the car and was about to go from the parking lot to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet, but was killed by the murderer."

"That's how it should be."

Inspector Megure looked thoughtfully at the deceased's boyfriend, Shirakawa Noriyuki, who was being comforted by a girl next to him.

"Who is that woman?"

"She was a waitress at the restaurant where Shirakawa Noriyuki worked. She was also his college classmate. I heard that Shirakawa often consulted with her about things..."
