They found a neighbor's aunt who reportedly witnessed Tokuji Imura coming out of his home on the day of his disappearance.

"In the early hours of that morning, he came out with a huge suitcase, and I thought he was going on a trip somewhere."

As she spoke, the aunt gestured with her hand to the size of the suitcase.

"Was there anything that was different from usual?"

The aunt smiled: "It was so dark at that time, and his skin was already a little dark, where can I see it." ”

Conan was a little puzzled: "In that case, then why do you know that it was he who came out of the house at that time?" ”

"Coming out of her house, of course I thought it was his man."

Sounds like it makes some sense.

"Do you remember the time?"

"Monday, March 24. I happened to be on my way to the early morning prayers that day, so I remember it well. ”

Then, Qinghai Chuantang and Conan went to the human resources office and found Imura Tokuji's partner: Motoyama Magic.

"Mr. Benshan, how long have you been working together?"

"It's been about fifteen years."

As he spoke, Benshan magically brought a teacup to the two.

"Ah, uncle, there are a lot of trophies on your table." Conan looked surprised, "And there's a glove hanging from the hook." ”

"That's what you say." Benshan shook a few punches into the air, looking very powerful, "I used to practice boxing for a while, but unfortunately I was too busy with work later, so I had to put this hobby on hold." ”

"Mr. Motoyama, do you remember the last time you saw each other?"

"The night before he disappeared, around 9 o'clock, I saw him coming home."

The two went to a library again, and it is said that Tokuji Imura came to borrow books every Saturday.

And the librarian here also has some impressions of him, after all, it is too regular. Moreover, he is also one of the people who knew about the disappearance of Tokuji Imura.

"How did you know about Mr. Imura's disappearance?"

"Because there were books that I hadn't returned when it was time, I called them one by one and asked." After finishing speaking, he sighed: "When I called, his wife cried so heartbreakingly, I was embarrassed to mention the return of the book." ”

"Do you remember what type of books Mr. Imura usually borrows?"

"Romance novels."

After leaving the library, Qinghai Chuantang became more and more strange, and couldn't help but say: "He must have had an extramarital affair." ”

Conan was so frightened by these words that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

He turned his head with a speechless expression, and seemed to have a little more suspicion: "You guy, are you really a profiler?" Just because I often come to borrow romance novels, so I feel like I'm having an affair? It's a bit too arbitrary. ”

"It's because I'm a profiler that I think so. A 43-year-old man is past the age of reading romance novels, although it is not excluded that some people like it, but there are very few such examples. My wife and daughter are all around, and it's more about family and responsibilities, and socializing with friends, rather than the longing for sweet love when I was still in school. The most important point is that we didn't find any books in the warehouse at that time. ”

"That makes sense...... But more importantly, it's been seven years, but everyone still remembers it clearly, as if it happened yesterday. ”

So, this is by no means a simple case of disappearance.

Qinghai Chuantang was not surprised.

"Of course, it's not a simple disappearance. According to Officer Kawanishi, the case was treated as a homicide. It's just that no matter how much they searched, they couldn't find the body, so the case was shelved. ”

Kawanishi was the person in charge of the case at the time.

Seven years ago, he was still in the Metropolitan Police Department, and he was demoted because of a mistake in his work. After that, with an excellent performance, he returned to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"According to Officer Kawanishi, the time of disappearance was Sunday, March 20, 2011. The report was made on March 24, and the informant was Mr. Imura's daughter......"

"Wait!" Conan interrupted her, "Didn't the neighbor say that the day of the disappearance was March 21st?" Why did Officer Kawanishi say it was March 20? And it took a few days to tell his daughter, no matter how you look at it, it's a little strange. ”

"It was Ms. Rinka who told him that maybe he accidentally remembered his days at the time, and this is not a suspicion."

As if he was taking revenge on the other party, he said this deliberately.

Of course, she is not a person who is self-willed, "The time between may be the time spent on disposing of corpses." After all, it was too dark at the time, and there was no guarantee that it was Mr. Imura himself, and the neighbor said that the other party was pulling a particularly large suitcase at that time, which was probably a tool used to carry the corpse. ”

"By the way, Officer Kawanishi also told me one thing at that time, saying that Motoyama's wife, Ms. Momoyo, might know something. She and Mr. Imura are in the same church, and Mr. Imura and his friends often go to the restaurant she owns. The name of the restaurant is 'Kinoshita Raku', and it's just a few streets away. ”

Kinoshita is hiding in the alley, and if you don't look closely, you might not notice it at all. Because it's so hidden, people have the illusion that they don't really want to do business.

Momoyo Motoyama seems to have just returned to the restaurant.

"Ms. Momoyo, when was the last time you saw the missing person, Mr. Imura?"

"I don't remember much."

She wiped the countertop, moving quickly,

"Is that any different from usual?"

"It doesn't seem like much."

Momoyo hesitated for a moment when answering.

"Do you like to read novels?"

On the table next to it, there are several books.

"Yes, romance novels."

"Then you often meet with Mr. Imura, right?"

"Nope." Momoto Motoyama was stunned for a moment and stopped what he was doing, "How can I meet him often." ”

After saying that, he resumed the movement in his hand.

The countertop, which has been wiped several times, is still being wiped repeatedly, as if trying to polish it as bright as a mirror.

"However, I heard that the two of them often go to church."

"This ...... It's a regular meeting at church, after all, in the same church, it can't be avoided. ”

Before Motoyama could finish speaking, the door was opened.

I saw Benshan standing at the door with an angry face, "What are you doing?" How many years ago was that, why are you still pestering! ”

"I—I don't know anything."

With that, Momoyo Motoyama walked out of the counter, pushed the two of them out, and said, "Let's go, let's go." ”

After they left, the door to Kinoshita's restaurant was closed.

The two did not go far, but hid around the corner.

Qinghai Chuantang took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.

"What are you doing here?"

Conan seemed to find something strange.

"Call the police. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has a team dedicated to responding to domestic violence. Conan, haven't you noticed anything strange? ”

"Of course I found the suspicion, but Ms. Momoyo didn't have any bruises on her."

Conan's doubts were even greater.

"It's called life experience, little brat...... Hello. Yes, I'm going to report it. ”

For a long time, the issue of domestic violence has been a tangled issue, and the reason given is simple and seems familiar: it is inconvenient for other people to intervene in their family affairs.

Today, this situation has gradually changed as the problem of domestic violence has become more serious. In Tokyo, whenever the police receive a call, they will come in the shortest possible time.

Domestic violence may develop into homicide in the future. Whether it's yourself, your children, your family, your colleagues...... can be victimized.

Momoyo Motoyama was nervous, scared, and panicked when he saw his husband...... Obviously, this is not the first time.

"Benshan is magical, under the Spousal Violence Prevention Act and the crime of assault, you have been arrested."

Even if it's coming soon...... I'm afraid that at that time, I was already on my way to the hospital.

There are many bruises on the corners of Momoyo's mouth and arms, and there are still blood stains on the corners of his mouth.

It's a ruthless one.

"Article 204 of the Criminal Code for the crime of assault states that 'anyone who injures the body of another person shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 15 years or a fine of not more than 500,000 yen.'" But don't worry, I know that a lawyer named 'Fei Yingli' will definitely try to get you sentenced to more than ten years. ”

Benshan was forced to kneel on the ground, his hands were wringed behind his back, and his mouth shouted "let go".

Of course she will let go.

Three minutes later, the police arrived, and Benshan finally got his wish. But soon, he was handcuffed coldly.

What awaits him will be the sanction of the law.

After that, an ambulance also arrived quickly and took Momoyo Motoyama to the hospital.

Seven years ago, at the same hospital, Momoyo Motoyama's excuse at the time was: accidentally fell.

At that time, the injuries were even more serious than they are now.

She has also been to the hospital more than once, and even some doctors and nurses feel that she is familiar.

The next day, when Qinghai Chuantang and Conan saw her again, it was in the interrogation room.

She moved out of her home and took up residence in a civilian shelter. After that, with the help of the police, they will find a new place to live.

"You should know what your husband did to Mr. Imura, right? A large amount of Mr. Imura's blood was detected on the clothes that Mr. Motoyama was wearing at that time. ”

Momoyo Motoyama looked at him, and then slowly lowered his head.

"In the process of work, I helped the injured Mr. Imura, so my clothes were stained with blood. That's what you said at the time, and I'm not wrong, right? ”

Obvious lies.

"Ms. Momoyo, can you tell us the truth now?"

Momoyo hesitated for a moment, but the fear was still in his heart.

"My husband hit Mr. Imura." She looked up at the person in the opposite seat, and her voice trembled a little: "I saw them both coming out of the church together......"

What happened after that, it goes without saying.

"His suspicious wife syndrome is very serious, and both men and women have become the object of his suspicion...... It felt like crazy. Except for Sundays, I stayed at restaurants or at home, and I couldn't go anywhere. ”

Restrained and suppressed, she felt suffocated, and even almost out of breath.
