Chapter 9: The Critical, the Critical

"Police, there's something under the couch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A man's voice rang out, and it seemed that it should have been said by the policeman here.

But I don't know which direction the voice came from, and if it's really a policeman, just take it out and hand it over to the Twilight Police Department, how can it just be a reminder?

However, the Twilight Police Department did not have any suspicions, walked to the side of the sofa, leaned down to take a look, and sure enough, found something inside, so he prepared to take it out.

The uncle is still smoking, he seems to have become an old smoking gun, obviously before the crossing, he has not even smoked a puff.

Maybe it was influenced by the original Mori Kogoro.

glanced at Conan over there, but didn't say much.

After all, that kid is the real detective, and maybe he can find something he hasn't noticed.

"Huh?"

Thinking of this, the uncle suddenly thought of something.

If you want to say something that you haven't noticed......

Like, Conan said before that there were wet marks around the corpse.

This wet does not refer to bloodstains, but water.

But why is there water around the corpse? Although it is only a few traces that remain......

Water, chair, temperature......

"It's an earring."

The Twilight Police Department suddenly spoke, interrupting the uncle's train of thought.

The uncle looked up and saw that the Twilight Police Department had taken out the contents under the sofa.

Just an earring.

Not only did the uncle see it, but Yoko Okino, who was standing next to the uncle, also saw it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and subconsciously spoke.

"That's Yuko-sama's."

"Yuko-san?"

Uncle and the Twilight Police Department both looked at Yoko Okino.

Yoko Okino nodded hurriedly.

"It's Miss Yuko Ikezawa, who debuted at the same time as me."

"In this way, she holds a grudge because the heroine of the series is replaced by Yoko."

Sakae Yamagishi also gave an important piece of information.

As a result, there is another Yuko Ikezawa who is involved, which is also a suspect.

"Miss Yoko, this Miss Yuko, have you ever been here before?"

The uncle asked directly.

This is also a very important question, if you have been here, then the earrings fall here, it makes sense.

If you haven't been here and the earrings have fallen here again, then this Yuko Ikezawa is also very suspicious.

Yoko Okino just shook her head at this question.

"Haven't been."

She has developed very well, and she has robbed the heroine position before, although the two sides are not enemies, they are also enemies.

Yuko Ikezawa doesn't come to an enemy's house yet, unless she's approached hypocritically, or doesn't care about it at all.

But obviously, Yuko Ikezawa cares a lot, otherwise Sakae Yamagishi wouldn't say that she holds a grudge.

It's just that the truth of the matter is still inconclusive.

"The police department."

The uncle looked at the Twilight Police Department.

At this time, there is no need to say anything, and the Twilight Police Department can understand.

looked directly at the policeman who was on standby, and commanded.

"So, let's go and bring Yuko Ikezawa here as an important witness."

"Hey!"

Several policemen answered and left.

The rest of the people are naturally continuing to investigate and collect evidence, thinking and reasoning.

Reasoning is a very brain-burning job, and it is really not something that ordinary people can do.

There are a variety of situations to consider and knowledge of the relevant aspects is required.

If you don't even know some knowledge points, even if the evidence is in front of you, you may not be able to see it.

The uncle before the crossing is not a knowledgeable person, although he has seen a lot of various information and intelligence in forums and other places on the Internet, but he has no ability to forget, some of them are impressive and remembered, and some of them are forgotten after reading them again.

Of course, you may be able to remember it at some point.

But now that the head is empty, there is simply no way to string it together into a reasonable clue.

Chair, air conditioner temperature, water, corpse, earrings, Yoko Okino, Sakae Yamagishi, Yuko Ikezawa......

What kind of connection is there between them?

"Hiss......"

Scratching his head, he gasped.

He took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and continued smoking.

Although smoking is harmful to health, at this time, smoking a cigarette can indeed calm down a little.

"There must be something missing!"

Thinking so, the uncle walked straight to the corpse, squatted down and looked at it.

The body had long since been removed, with only a drawn outline and a pool of congealed blood.

The uncle looked at the floor and pondered.

The body was lying on his stomach, and in this case, it can be imagined that someone sneaked up from behind, stabbed him in the back, and then he fell to the ground and died.

Of course, it is also possible to put him down first, then press him, and then kill him with a knife.

But in this case, the deceased should have struggled violently to get out, but the police officer who questioned the forensic division just now only said that there were traces of slight struggle, but there was no sign of violent struggle.

Of course, this can also be distinguished.

So is it really a sneak attack? And what's going on with the messy scene in this room?

The uncle looked around with confusion in his eyes.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he noticed something, stood up and walked to the other side of the silhouette of the corpse, and crouched down again.

"This is ......"

The hand touched it and found that it was a depression.

Yes, it's a depression, a depression on the wooden floor.

The shape is about oval, relatively regular, and it should be pressed out at once, depending on the situation.

And right next to the corpse.

"Is there any connection between the two?"

The uncle scratched his head and stood up.

Then he continued to look around.

And as soon as he walked on his front foot, Conan came on his back foot, and also noticed the depression in the floor.

Conan was equally puzzled by this.

This, perhaps, is a very crucial thing.

……

Time passed slowly, and the night grew deeper.

Yuko Ikezawa was brought in as an important witness and explained the situation to her at the same time.

But Yuko Ikezawa wouldn't admit such a thing.

"Don't be kidding!"

Yuko Ikezawa expressed her anger.

"If it was a murder that happened in Yoko's room, you should be suspicious of Yoko, right, it's the first time I've come here, and it has nothing to do with me."

If it's really the first time you've been here, of course that's okay.

But obviously, this is not the first time I have been here.

"If it's really the first time you've been here, how do you explain this?"

The uncle held up the evidence bag in his hand, and it contained the earrings.

Yoko Okino said that this was Yuko Ikezawa, so Yuko Ikezawa was invited over.

No one suspected that Yoko Okino was lying, after all, such a lie is easy to debunk.

Seeing these earrings, Yuko Ikezawa looked a little happy.

"Oh, I thought I had fallen somewhere, but it turned out to be here, it's so nice!"

I thought I had found something, and of course I was glad that I found it.

But now is not the time to rejoice.

"It's not just the earrings, the Administrator has also confirmed that he sees someone who looks like you."

The Dusk Police Department also spoke, and the investigation and evidence collection of relevant parties was basically completed, and such a thing is naturally very clear.

But Yuko Ikezawa still denies it.

"It's just people who look alike, so it's stupid to judge."

Yuko Ikezawa pursed her lips and walked straight to the side.

"Borrow a toilet."

Obviously, that's the direction of the toilet.

Seeing this, the uncle couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Yuko Ikezawa, I'm sure I've been here.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the problem of earrings in the first place, it can't be that someone happened to steal it, and then that person happened to be a murderer, came here to commit murder, and happened to fall here again, right?

This is obviously impossible.

Because people who can steal things obviously don't come here so coincidentally, and people who come here obviously don't steal her things.

Secondly, he said that he had never been here, but he didn't even ask, he already knew where the toilet was, and walked over there......

If you haven't been here, how do you explain this?

So Yuko Ikezawa is lying.

Merely......

Looking at the back of Yuko Ikezawa who walked into the toilet, the uncle was a little puzzled.

"It's a little too similar."

Thinking so, he looked at Yoko Okino to the side again.

Although it looks like it from the front, it doesn't look like it at all, but from behind, the backs of the two people are very similar.

Could it be that the long-lost sisters are not successful?

Well, it's just a joke.

It's just that it always feels a bit of a problem.

Perhaps, it's just a little bit missing.
