Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 144 Chapter 143, Miwako Sato: Mr. Mori, you are suspected of stalking!

It turned out that yesterday, or should be said today, during a fire ceremony in a red ghost village, the villagers found a corpse in the burning high platform.

The name of the deceased was Negishi, and he was a man who had been followed by Mori Kogoro for three days.

And it was a man named Yutaka Abe who entrusted Mori Kogoro to follow Negishi.

Just tracking for three days, there is a commission fee of 50. If there is no conspiracy in it, it can be said that almost no one will believe it.

"So my father was called to take notes to see if Mr. Negishi's death had anything to do with Mr. Abe."

Sano nodded, and had a general understanding of the situation. In this way, there is a high probability that this Yutaka Abe will be his mission target, and the other party may have already removed all suspicion from him, so he is needed To ensure the murderer's imprisonment.

"Then I'll go in first..."

Sano, who had just planned to enter the Metropolitan Police Department to inquire about the news under the pretext of taking notes, hadn't finished speaking when a middle-aged man with glasses in a suit walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department gate.

"it's him!"

Mao Lilan reminded Sano: "He is Mr. Abe."

Sano didn't say a word, but he and the two of them watched the contented Takashi Abe get into the car and leave, and then Mori Kogoro with a livid face followed him out of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Mori Kogoro glanced at Sano, rarely showing any hostility: "That Yutaka Abe must be the murderer. Mr. Negishi was fooled into investing 5 million yuan in insurance before he died, and the beneficiary is him!"

"In this case, why did the police let him go like this?"

Conan also began to ask for clues.

"Because until the early hours of yesterday, I have been following Mr. Negishi. The time when the body was found was the fire festival in the early morning of this morning, and the time of death was from the early morning of yesterday to the early morning of this morning. Traveling in Kyushu."

Mori Kogoro lit a cigarette impatiently: "During the tour, Abe Yutaka took photos from time to time, and some company subordinates testified to him. The only time when he could commit a crime was during the two-hour break at noon, but the Red Ghost Village is in Gunma County. , the distance from Kyushu to two hours is not enough to go back and forth!"

"I see……"

Conan stroked his chin and fell into deep thought, while Sano made a guess: "Could it be buying someone to kill someone?"

"This……"

Mori Kogoro and Conan, who were led into a strange thought, froze in place at the same time, blinking their eyes.

Of course, this is just Sano's complaint, because from a scientific point of view, there must be clues behind all cases, and such a clean "killing method" as buying a murderer is basically impossible to exist. .

"Are you sure that you really followed the dead until the early hours of yesterday?"

Sano changed his mind again. The breaking point of this case is nothing more than making Abe's alibi invalid, so there are only two possibilities for the opponent's tactics.

First, Abe was not actually in Kyushu at the time of the crime, or he took some extraordinary measures to enable him to complete the round trip within two hours.

Second, the deceased named Negishi was not actually killed during Abe's travel time.

Of course, Sano didn't know which aspect Abe Yutaka started from, but it would be too troublesome to verify the former, and it would be more direct to verify the latter that Mori Kogoro was right in front of him.

Facing Sano's question, Mori Kogoro was a little dissatisfied and said, "Are you questioning my professionalism? I am a professional detective. Although you have been one step ahead of me in solving the previous cases, but in terms of tracking Investigation, you are still 30 years behind me!"

As he said that, Kogoro Moori took out an envelope from his pocket and pulled out dozens of photos: "No, all the photos I took during my follow-up are here."

Sano took the photo and was about to look through it, when he noticed that Conan was stepping on his feet in an attempt to peek, so he simply walked to the bench beside him and sat down.

Conan couldn't help grinning immediately when he saw this. Sano, although he always looks like he's pissed off, he's actually quite good at taking care of people.

Sure enough, Hei Si, the kind of guy who tried to use force to uphold justice, would not be Sano.

Under the watchful eyes of Mori Kogoro and Mori Ran, Sano's hand flipping through the photos suddenly paused at a certain moment, and then looked again, and divided all the photos into two parts.

When Conan saw Sano's actions, he immediately understood, without any communication, he just looked up at Mori Kogoro: "Hey, uncle, did you take these photos the day before yesterday, that is, on Saturday?"

"what?"

Kogoro Mori took the photos Conan handed over, glanced at them, nodded and said, "That's right, it was taken on Saturday, what's wrong?"

really.

Sano thoughtfully lit a cigarette. In all the photos related to the deceased taken by Mori Kogoro, there was a detail change since Saturday, the day before the deceased died.

That is the dominant hand of the deceased is changed.

Originally, Negishi should be right-handed, but on Saturday, Negishi used his left hand all the time, but his right hand was not injured. Obviously, there are two people.

This is Abe Feng's method of killing, replacing the dead and shortening the time of crime, so as to create an alibi.

"but."

Mao Lilan suddenly asked his father curiously: "Dad, why do you think that Mr. Negishi's death must be related to Mr. Abe?"

Mori Kogoro pondered for a moment: "Of course it's because of the detective's intuition."

Oh, it's intuitive.

Mao Lilan returned the dead fish eyes, and then looked at Sano: "Senior, do you also think Mr. Abe is the murderer?"

"90.00% nine."

Sano was interrupted and responded casually, while Mao Lilan still looked like a curious baby: "What's the reason?"

Sano touched his chin: "Intuition?"

"So this is ah."

Mao Lilan smiled and said, "Indeed, Shinichi has said before that a detective's intuition is the key to solving a case."

Maori Kogoro:"???"

Whose daughter is this girl? Hey!

Mori Kogoro, who felt the difference, was expressionless: "I said, did you find out?"

Sano looked at Mori Kogoro, and after two seconds of silence, he looked at the photo again: "Well, there is a discovery."

"really?"

Mori Kogoro was startled, and just about to ask Sano what he found, but Sano had already opened his mouth and said, "Detective Mori...are you following Mr. Negishi?"

"……what???"

After the air froze for a few seconds, Mori Kogoro shouted in disbelief: "This is the discovery you mentioned?"

"Can't you?"

Sano crossed his legs: "After all, Detective Mori has been very disdainful of my tailing before, but now he is tailing others. This kind of double-standard behavior is really... people can't stand it."

"Are you kidding, what can I call stalking, detective's business, can that be called stalking?"

Mori Kogoro rolled his eyes, folded his arms around his chest unreasonably and confidently.

"Sano?"

And just when Sano was about to continue speaking, a familiar voice came. Several people followed the sound and found that it was Miwako Sato.

"It's really you, why are you here, what happened?"

Miwako Sato nodded and greeted Mori Kogoro's family, then moved up to Sano, saw the photo in his hand, and asked, "Are you investigating the case of the Red Ghost Village Fire Festival?"

"Ah."

Sano nodded, and handed the photo to Miwako Sato: "Officer Sato, I want to ask about one thing. Detective Mori followed Mr. Negishi for three days and took so many photos. Is it considered stalking?"

"what?"

Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, the first thing Sano said was not the case, but whether Kogoro Mori followed?
Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri's face turned even darker: "You little brat is enough, if you don't help, it will only add to the chaos!"

Sano let out a puff of smoke leisurely, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Detective Mori, anyway, the evidence is in front of Police Officer Sato, I believe she will make a fair judgment, are you right...Miss?"

After Sano said the last two words, Miwako Sato, who originally didn't want to get involved with this matter, suddenly caught her breath.

Strictly speaking, the profession of detectives is not really a career for Wei Zhengguang. After all, the commissions most detectives rely on for survival are either looking for cats and dogs, or investigating affairs, which is an absolute gray industry.

Especially the latter, stalking, filming and eavesdropping, these behaviors are the same as tailgating, and the boundaries of judgment are extremely blurred.

It's just that Mori Kogoro has a relationship in the Metropolitan Police Department after all, and he is also an old acquaintance. Everyone knows that he is not a bad person, so they won't be entangled in this.

but.

The word "Miss" at the end of Sano's words reminded Miwako Sato that she was affectionately called "Miss Follower" because she "followed" Sano.

With such an obvious reminder from Sano, Miwako Sato could of course understand what the other party meant.

——If Kogoro Mori is not recognized as a follower, then Sano will continue to work hard on the matter of Miwako Sato as a follower.

In other words - if you don't help me punish him, I will concentrate on punishing you.

Do you want to trade Mori Kogoro's reputation for your own?

...As the so-called dead poor Taoist friends, plus the people who contributed to Sano's "following" Okino Yoko at the beginning, besides her Miwako Sato is Mori Kogoro, why is she the only one who is being tricked now ?
Thinking of this, Miwako Sato, who was extremely unbalanced in her heart, immediately stopped hesitating and nodded with a serious face: "Yes, the evidence is conclusive. Mr. Mori did follow Mr. Negishi."

Maori Kogoro:"……"

"What are you talking about, Officer Sato, how can I be stalking!?"

Mori Kogoro looked at Miwako Sato in shock, as if he saw a teammate who stabbed him in the back.

As for this, Miwako Sato just looked away and pretended not to hear it.

"That's enough, Detective Maori, give up struggling, this kind of thing doesn't count if you deny it yourself."

Sano propped his chin with one hand, and the corners of his mouth curved happily. His eyes were clearly lower than that of Kogoro Mori, but Kogoro Mori felt like he was being looked down upon.

"The detective who looks down on the follower the most is himself a follower, and the follower is a man, oh... so Maori detectives still have such a hobby, I can't see it."

"Well!"

In a trance, it seemed that a sharp arrow pierced Mori Kogoro's heart, making him almost kneel on the ground.

It's okay to follow, but also to follow a man...?
Is my reputation for a lifetime, is it about to be shattered...

Mori Kogoro squirmed his lips, wanting to refute, but found that he seemed unable to refute anything at all, so he could only stand with a pale face in the wind, like a dried salted fish.
