Conan: Naruto

"Exchanging kills!?"

Officer Megure was startled, and looked at Kogoro Mori in astonishment.

Xiaolan stood on the right side of Kogoro, looked at Kogoro blankly, and repeated without understanding:

"Exchange... for killing...?"

"I understand!"

Detective Takagi looked at Kogoro Mori with a sudden realization, and analyzed meticulously:

"In this way, two seemingly unrelated cases are connected!"

"I see."

Detective Shiratori looked at Kogoro Mori, and thoughtfully reasoned:

"Kazuo Sakihara and Takahashi Hiromachi secretly made a murder contract, first Sakihara would kill Hirochang's wife, Ms. Sachiko, and then Hirochang would kill Sakihara's wife, Ms. Hui.

In this way, neither of the two prisoners had an obvious motive for committing the crime, and they could create an alibi when the other's wife died. "

"Yes."

Mori Kogoro looked at Police Officer Megure, calmly reminded:

"That's why Kazuo Sakihara was so shocked when he saw the portrait of Hiromasa Takahashi in the hospital.

After all, he already knew that the prisoner who installed the bomb was Hongchang. "

"Makes sense."

Officer Megure nodded slightly, and looked at Kogoro Mouri with approval.

"But......"

Xiaolan's left hand was attached to the top of the blue satchel, grasping the shoulder strap of the satchel with five fingers, and asked incomprehensibly:

"Why did Mr. Sakihara kill his wife, Ms. Hui?"

"When he knew that the person who died was Xiaohui's younger sister, his extremely abnormal reaction and the words Kuanmei blurted out were enough to prove everything."

Mori Kogoro looked at Xiaolan, and calmly asserted:

"Whoever saw Kazuo Sakihara's subconscious real reaction will wonder if Kazuo Sakihara has a special relationship with that woman named Hiromi."

"very good!"

Officer Megure turned his head abruptly, looked at Detective Takagi and Detective Shiratori, and ordered solemnly:

"Investigate immediately from this clue."

"Yes!"

Detective Takagi and Detective Shiratori looked at Officer Megure, saluted with their right hands, responded shortly, ran to the gate quickly, pressed the door handle, pushed the door open, and stepped out.

"strangeness......"

Dongfang Haoyue glanced at Mori Kogoro in bewilderment, muttered, then turned to look at Kudo Shinichi on the right who was still thinking, and asked for advice in a very low voice:

"The Maori detective's reasoning just now can be said to have cracked more than half of the cases, and the only thing left is to collect evidence and capture the criminal...but...

Why is he looking depressed...? "

"Ok?"

Kudo Shinichi, who held his chin with his left hand and grabbed his left arm with his right hand across his chest, let out a light sigh, put down his hands, and subconsciously glanced at the dark-looking Mouri Kogoro.

Xin looked at Dongfang Haoyue, shook his head in a foggy manner, and replied in a very low voice:

"I do not know."

"Okay..."

Dongfang Haoyue shrugged helplessly.

--------

The next day, in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Maori Detective Agency.

"Let me briefly explain the statement obtained from the police investigation."

Police officer Mumu sat on the sofa with his back to the door, with his right hand resting on the armrest, gently looked at Xiaolan's family sitting side by side on the sofa opposite the wooden table, and calmly narrated:

"After Kazuo Sakihara saw the portrait I showed in the hospital at dusk yesterday, he called Hiromasaka Takahashi in the evening of the same day to go out to hide the remaining explosives.

Fortunately, when Hongchang drove out of the house, several of my subordinates blocked his way just right, successfully seized the criminal evidence, and successfully arrested him. "

Police officer Mu Mu paused for a second, and told him calmly:

"Currently, Sakihara has admitted that he conspired with Hongchang to exchange murders and personally killed Hongchang's wife, Sachiko Takahashi."

Police officer Mumu paused for two seconds, then groaned and narrated:

"According to Sakihara, he met Hiroshi in a tavern who was drinking away his sorrows, and took the opportunity to propose an exchange of murder ideas.

Since then, they have not seen each other, only using the phone to communicate with each other.

In addition, Hongchang did not want to keep evidence, so he used the public phone on the side of the road to contact Sakihara every time.

As for Sakihara..."

Police Officer Mu Mu clenched his fists and pressed down on his spread legs, with his knuckles facing down, and stated calmly:

"He installed a landline phone exclusively for him in the study, and the phone number that Hongchang dialed every time was exactly Qi Yuan's landline phone number."

"I see."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Police Officer Mu Mu with a sudden realization, and sighed sincerely:

"No wonder sister Xiaohui didn't notice her husband's plan to collude with outsiders to commit murder."

"Officer Mumu."

Xiaolan sat on the right side of Kudo Shinichi on Dongfang Haoyue's right, looked at Police Officer Megure hesitantly, and confirmed hesitantly:

"Is Kazuo Sakihara just like what my father said... because Sakihara cheated on Ms. Megumi's younger sister, Ms. Hiromi, so Sakihara conspired with outsiders to try to kill Ms. Megumi?

In the end... Sakihara can marry Hiromi in a legitimate way..."

"Although Kazuo Sakihara and Hiromi Tanaka do have an unusual relationship, there is another reason for Sakihara's murder motive."

Officer Mu Mu shook his head slowly, looked at Xiaolan, and explained with regret:

"Because Ms. Hiromi wanted to open a clothing store, Sakihara decided to raise funds to open the store and conceived a plan to kill Ms. Megumin.

Once Ms. Hui died unfortunately, her estate and the high insurance compensation she carried must all belong to Sakihara. "

"Kazuo Sakihara is too much..."

Xiaolan couldn't bear to turn her head to look at the front door of the living room on the left, and said sympathetically:

"Thinking about it now... Ms. Hui is really pitiful..."

"Have you told Xiaohui about this?"

Mori Kogoro sat on Dongfang Haoyue's left, with his hands resting on his splayed legs, looking at Police Officer Mumu with a slightly obscure expression.

"We told her the truth about Kazuo Sakihara and Hiromasa Takahashi swapping wives."

Officer Megure looked at Kogoro Mori in bewilderment for a moment, recalled and narrated:

"She didn't believe the facts we told her at first, until we came up with evidence... She covered her face with her hands and cried hard."

Dongfang Haoyue, Maoli Xiaogoro and Xiaolan were silent after hearing this.

Kudo Shinichi unconsciously entered a state of deep thinking, without focusing on anything in front of his eyes, and did not speak yet.

"Alas... Ms. Hui's behavior is understandable."

Officer Mu Mu sighed softly, looked down at the wooden table slightly, and said with empathy:

"She not only faced the danger of her husband colluding with outsiders to kill each other's wives, but also encountered the family tragedy of her husband cheating on his wife's own sister... Sigh..."

Having said that, Officer Mumu let out a deep sigh.

"Well, now that things have happened, I have to care more about Xiaohui."

Mori Kogoro looked slightly relaxed and sat upright.

He seemed to have a smile on his face, but in fact he arranged calmly:

"I heard that she has returned to her residence in Nishitama City. I will contact her later and make an appointment for a visit."
