The Advent of the Infinite King

Masao Koda nodded, as a tacit consent.

Xie Chen said: "Mr. Xingtian just hoped to buy time to bury those gems in the yard, that's why he deliberately threw a gem on the stairs of the station to make everyone think he escaped on the tram. "

Masao Koda smiled and handed the model gun to the police officer, "This is the model gun I used to rob the jewelry store."

Officer Mumu turned around and walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked at Yoshiichi Mianguan, and said slowly, "Excuse me, you are Mr. Yoshiichi Mianguan."

After the police arrived here, Watanuki Yoshiichi drove Koda Masao out, locked the gate, and stood in the courtyard listening to their conversation. At this time, he nodded and frowned.

Police officer Meguro continued: "I have heard about you and Mr. Koda from Mr. Mori. Our police must dig your yard now."

"You're kidding!" Mian Guanyi said angrily, "What right do you have to do that?"

"In order to investigate the jewelry store robbery that happened just now, we have to do this." Police Officer Mu Mu's attitude was very tough, "Could it be convenient for us to dig the yard because you have something ulterior?"

Mian Guanyi quickly said: "I have nothing to hide."

"In that case." Officer Mumu turned to look at Takagi She, "Officer Takagi, contact the headquarters immediately."

The Detective Boys cheered for a while, as if the body had been dug up.

Xie Chen frowned slightly, and he found Yoshiichi Mianguan showing an unbelievable smile again.

More than [-] police officers dug until the evening, almost turning over the entire courtyard. Yoshikazu Watanuki kept watching and did not stop him. Masao Koda's expectation from the beginning gradually turned into despair.

Until the lighting was turned on, only those gemstones were dug up, and no corpses were found.

Koda Masao said that this is absolutely impossible, and has repeatedly troubled the police to look for it carefully.

Gao Mushe finally couldn't help but said: "We have searched very carefully, where do you want us to dig?"

As soon as Mian Guanyi came over, he said: "It seems that you have dug thoroughly. You have worked so hard. I will turn this into a family vegetable garden."

He was proud as if he had won a battle, while Masao Koda bowed his head and remained silent.

The lawn had been lifted up by the police, leaving only the wet soil all over the courtyard. Masao Koda ran aside and kept digging the wet soil with his hands. He was so firm that his sister's body was buried here.

Mori Kogoro sighed silently, walked over and said, "Mr. Koda."

"Leave me alone!" Masao Koda yelled back, his fingers were bloodstained, "Sanae is definitely in this place, somewhere in this yard!"

Mori Kogoro said: "It's not that we don't understand your current mood, but if we continue to dig, there will be no results."

Koda Masao knew it in his heart, but he just didn't want to believe it, didn't want to give up, so he could only sit on his knees and shout his sister's name.

Police officer Mu Mu pulled him up. No matter what his reason was, it was a fact that he went to the jewelry store to rob.

After returning to the office, Mao Lilan was still wondering why the body was not found.

Mori Kogoro replied: "Of course, because there were no corpses from the beginning."

"what?"

"The whole incident was caused by Mr. Koda's misunderstanding, which means that the reason why his sister disappeared was not because Mr. Watanuki was killed, but because of other reasons."

Xie Chen objected, but he didn't say it out loud.

Yoshiichi Watanuki's smile is more powerful evidence than anything else.

Mao Lilan asked: "However, on the night of May [-]th, her younger sister went to Mr. Watanuki's house, and then went directly to her own house. It must be true."

"That's right." Mori Kogoro said, "That's what her colleagues in the company said."

Xie Chen suddenly asked: "Have you been to her company? Then you know what."

Mori Kogoro said: "If there is anything else I asked, it should be that her colleague bought some cosmos seeds during the lunch break and distributed the seeds to his sister when he returned to the company."

Mao Lilan blinked, "Cosmos seeds?"

Mori Kogoro said: "That's right, Mr. Koda said that, he said that his sister likes cosmos flowers the most."

Chapter 240 IX Burial Site

"So, the most likely situation now is that after Mr. Koda's sister left the company and before she went to Mr. Watanuki's house, she was involved in something, and she disappeared from that time."

Mori Kogoro took a sip of beer, leaned on the back of the sofa and continued, "The Police Headquarters is also looking for this clue to start an investigation."

Xie Chen didn't say anything. After washing up, he went back to his room to sleep.

The next morning, Xie Chen and a few children from the Detective Boys gathered in the park to discuss the matter of Masao Koda's sister. Xie Chen still believed that Yoshiichi Watanuki was the murderer.

"In that case." Yoshida Ayumi said, "Xie Chen, do you still think that Uncle Watanuki is the murderer?"

"Yes." Xie Chen nodded, "He should be right."

Kojima Genta said: "But the police didn't find the body."

Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko said: "Is it possible that the body was not buried in his yard, but buried under the eaves of the house or somewhere else?"

"No." Xie Chen said, "If that's the case, you shouldn't be able to hear the sound of digging when you pass by the path inside."

Yoshida Ayumi proposed to go to the library to have a look, and Xie Chen agreed. If you read the newspaper on May [-], you might have some clues.

After browsing in the library, I didn't find any useful clues. I just know that there was a strong east wind on the night of May [-]th.

So Xie Chen proposed to find Mr. Ikeda who heard the sound of digging that night. Zhunichi Ikeda lived near the construction site. According to the house number, it was easy to find him.

"That was more than a month ago." Ikeda Junichi said: "And I drank again that day, so I don't remember clearly now."
