Pirates, they want to catch Akainu at the beginning

Leaving the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kahn first sent Kogoro Mori and the others home.

Then, he called up Maori Ran, who was also finishing school, and they found a nearby restaurant to have dinner. He then made an appointment with Maori Kogoro to go to Tottori Prefecture together the next morning, and then they went back to their respective homes.

the next day.

early morning.

Kahn and Kogoro Mori took a car to Tottori Prefecture.

They went directly to the Tottori Prefecture police station and found Officer Hatake that Megure mentioned.

This officer Hatake is probably around 40 years old.

When they met Kogoro Mori and Kahn, they were received very warmly.

but.

Kogoro Mori is anxious to solve the case.

Then, while Mao Lilan was away, I went to have a couple of drinks with Kahn.

and so.

I didn't talk to Hatake much.

Let’s get to the point soon.

Hatake talked to them for a while, then took them both to meet the suspects separately.

They went first.

Where is Minako?

She is a painter and she opened a calligraphy and painting training class, specializing in teaching people how to paint.

Officer Hatake arrived at her studio and she soon came out to meet everyone. She seemed very calm, probably because she was used to it.

In seeing flagwood.

Minako said directly: "Officer Hatake, what's your matter this time!"

Hatake looked at Minako and said with a smile: "Ms. Minako, you know our job. We have encountered this kind of thing again this time. You also know the pressure we are under. If you can help us solve the case, we don't want to come to you again!"

Minako frowned slightly: "I have said everything I should say. This time I really was just traveling, and I didn't go anywhere on my own initiative. It was organized by my friends. You police have checked it out, right? Besides, as for the time of death you mentioned, don't I have an alibi?"

Hatake said: "I know that. This time it is our colleague from Tokyo who wants to ask about the details. It will take up more than ten minutes of your time, but it will be over soon!"

Minako looked at Mouri Kogoro and Kahn and frowned slightly: "These don't seem to be policemen! I know the famous detective Mouri Kogoro. It seems that you policemen have invited external help!"

Said two sentences.

Minako said indifferently: "Forget it, no matter who it is, just ask if you have anything to say!"

Seeing this, Hatake said directly: "Okay, Miss Minako, please tell us about the two cases so that we can verify the situation!"

Minako was getting a little impatient.

But I still explained the situation again.

The first case: Minako was drinking with her friends at night and met the deceased on her way home. With the help of her friends, she got rid of the deceased and left.

The second case: Minako and several of her female friends were also drinking outside until the evening, but this time she was alone at the door of the bar enjoying the cool breeze when she met the deceased. When the deceased tried to harass her, her friends came out and the deceased left.

Happening.

That's it.

According to Minako's appearance.

It is very normal to be harassed by men.

As for the alibi, she had both, because she was basically with her friends during the time of the deceased's death.

After listening to Minako's words.

Hatake let her go.

After she left.

Hatake asked Kogoro Mori: "Detective Mori, do you have any clues?"

Kogoro Mouri thought about it and asked Hatake: "Does this woman know that Yamada?"

Hatake shook his head: "No, we have investigated and they have never had any contact. But they are all in Tottori County after all, so it is possible that they have seen each other!"

Kogoro Mouri nodded: "If that's the case, then he is indeed not a big suspect, but looking at how calm she is, I always feel like there is something wrong!"

Hatake nodded repeatedly: "We thought so too, but this can't be used as evidence!"

Kogoro Mori also knew that this thing could not be used as evidence, so he said to Hatake: "Let's go meet Yamada first and see what his condition is!"

Hatake nodded.

The three of them got into the car.

Heading to Yamada.

On the road.

Hatake told them.

Yamada's current situation.

Yamada now runs a small pet clinic that specializes in castration for small animals. He was originally a surgeon, but because of a report two years ago, the hospital felt that he had a bad image and fired him. So he simply opened a pet clinic that specializes in castration for animals.

and.

Because his technique is better.

Business is not bad.

A little more a month than he made as a doctor.

It can be described as a blessing in disguise.

Hatake and the others arrived at Yamada's pet clinic. Yamada had nothing to do, so he warmly welcomed Hatake and the others to sit in the store.

Just like Hatake's cheerfulness.

He doesn't look like the kind of guy who would kill someone.

After all, he was rich and happy, so there was really no need for him to kill anyone.

After Hatake arranged the three people to sit down and poured them tea, he said to Hatake: "Officer Hatake, this time let's still talk about the case from last time!"

Qi Mu nodded and said: "The higher-ups are chasing us closely, there is nothing we can do. Please understand!"

Yamada smiled and said, "No problem. It's my duty to cooperate with your work. If Officer Hatake has any questions, just ask directly!"

Hatake nodded and said: "In this case, although you have an alibi, you were at the crime scene both times. I still need you to explain this!"

Hatake smiled helplessly: "Officer Hatake, what can I do about where my girlfriend wants to go? Do you want to reject her? Wouldn't that cause trouble for yourself? Besides, we basically go out traveling once a month, you all know that, I really don't know how to explain it!"

Hatake nodded and said, "Then tell us more about the two cases. This time there are experts from Tokyo who want to hear your confession!"

Yamada didn't hesitate.

I talked to Hatake about the two cases again.

The first case: At that time, he had just graduated and was working as an apprentice surgeon in a hospital. Wanting to grow up quickly, he secretly caught stray cats and dogs and sterilized them, which also served as a way to practice his skills.

As for why he only performs this type of surgery, it is because he does not want to harm those animals, and sterilization is a good thing for stray cats and dogs.

later.

He was reported by the pet's owner because he accidentally hit a pet that already had an owner. However, this was not a bad thing, so the higher-ups didn't do anything to him. They just told him not to do that kind of thing again.

He promised not to do anything like that again.

But he still wanted to practice more, so he simply went to the park after midnight to look for stray cats and dogs, so that the chance of being discovered would be lower.

result.

Not many times.

He encountered that murder case.

He was also investigated by the police, and the hospital learned of his behavior and fired him.

then.

He was not caught.

It is because of the time of death of the deceased.

He was caught on camera by the park, catching a stray cat and sterilizing it under a light, so he was ruled out as a suspect in the murder.

The second case is even simpler. He and his girlfriend went on a trip to Jinggang's place. That night, he and his girlfriend had sex on the bed, and then he fell asleep due to exhaustion. His girlfriend can prove that he did not go out all night.
