Chapter 969: The Murder of a Retired Star

Gao Cheng sat with Yoko Okino for more than ten minutes, but he never saw the store manager Asuka who was waiting for the two, and several employees didn't know what they were busy with.

Somehow, he had a bad feeling again.

There are many murders in the world of Conan, but Gao Cheng is not sure that he can encounter cases wherever he goes, and Conan did not come today.

Seeing that there was movement behind him, Gao Cheng was about to ask him, but the waiter took the initiative to find him, saying that the manager of Asuka had returned, and asked him to bring Bigo and Miss Yoko over.

Gao Cheng couldn't follow, so he could only use the excuse to go to the toilet.

Counting the two songs for Yoko Okino, he came up with 8 songs in this world, each of which is of pretty good quality, and for ordinary musicians, it is all classic songs of the long-term meal ticket type, especially cherry blossom songs, which will never go out of style in Japan, and you can even eat a song for a lifetime if you find a popular singer to sing it.

It seems that there is also a very profitable "Little Love Song", a classic that has been covered by various covers in the previous life, do you want to write it?

That seems a bit unprofessional......

"Huh?" There was still a smell of smoke in the toilet, which made Gao Cheng frown for a while, thinking that the uncle had come to the toilet to smoke, but there were no cigarette butts left by the uncle in the trash can.

There are only two types of cigarette butts in the bin, the same brand, a long cigarette butt that leaves a tooth mark on the filter, and a short cigarette butt that is smoked up to the filter.

Gao Cheng picked out two cigarette butts with a handkerchief and looked at them thoughtfully.

In terms of quantity, it should not be the cigarette smoked by the guests, the former owner should have secretly come to the toilet to smoke when time is pressed, and is afraid of being discovered, and the latter is the type with more time and less abundant life.

The shop is non-smoking, and the manager himself seems to hate smoking, and there are signs prohibiting smoking in the toilets......

Gao Cheng thought of the fat sommelier and the male waiter.

For a sommelier who attaches great importance to taste, smoking will definitely be strictly prohibited, but the fat sommelier does not seem to be like this, and he also saw clearly in front of him just now, the fat sommelier is not professional at all.

The proficient level of the cowherd is already a senior cowherd level, so it carries a lot of wine tasting knowledge, and generally speaking, the taster will smell the taste first after pulling out the cork.

The cork of red wine may deteriorate due to detergent residues during the production process, and the probability of leaving a cork odor is high, so it is a basic requirement for the sommelier to confirm before opening the bottle and pouring the wine.

The fat sommelier failed more than that, it was not the high-end red wine that was poured to Yoko Okino, but the other party let the corkscrew's auger cone drill through the cork when opening the wine, which caused the sawdust to fall into the red wine.

Only vintage ultra-premium red wines need to be drilled through, so the fat man is not a qualified sommelier at all.

I don't know if Yoko Okino's senior knows it, but it's strange that there is such a taster restaurant that the business is not bad.

"Hey! Birds! Cheer up!! ”

"Asuka senior!"

There was a sudden commotion outside, and there was a faint shout of Yoko Okino and Takayu Higo, and when Gao Chengcai walked out of the toilet, he saw Uncle Maori hurriedly asking the restaurant staff to question, and then rushed to the underground warehouse.

"What's wrong?"

Gao Cheng followed into the warehouse, everyone gathered around the shelves near the inside, a man fell there, blood splattered and flowed all over the ground, and a utility knife murder weapon fell next to him, and he knew that his artery had been cut from a distance.

"At 7:37 p.m., the death was confirmed," Gao Cheng squatted in the middle to check the man's condition, and said against the time of the watch, "The cause of death is excessive blood loss caused by carotid artery severance, and the murder weapon should be the utility knife next to it, and the time of death is within half an hour......

Heavy bleeding can affect blood clotting, but judging from the stiffness of the corpse and the changes in blood, it can be determined that the time of the crime was less than half an hour.

This degree does not require an anatomical identification, he can judge it himself.

"Is he the manager of Asuka?" Gao Cheng turned around and asked Takayu Higo and Yoko Okino.

"Yes, yes." There was still a look of surprise on Bihu's face, obviously stimulated by the death of the senior, and almost subconsciously responded.

"Let's get out before the police arrive," Gao Cheng stood up and commanded the crowd, "I still have some things to ask you." ”

"What do you mean?" Several employees stood behind in a panic, still recovering from the murder of the store manager, and looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously.

"Y-Are you a detective?"

"I'm a special adviser to the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section, and I'm a good neighbor."

Gao Cheng took a few photos of the scene with his mobile phone.

Even if it wasn't his negligence, after all, the murder was quite sudden, he was still quite angry, because this person was killed right under his nose, it was like a provocation......

……

Outside the restaurant lounge, Gao Cheng and Uncle Maori took over the murder scene, leaving everyone to wait in the aisle.

The murder scene in the underground warehouse remains unchanged as much as possible, waiting for the forensic team to collect evidence, which is very skillful for both of them, the key is that at the moment, these people in the restaurant may be suspects, and it is inevitable that someone will do something before the police come.

Gao Cheng's gaze first swept over the three employees, including the fat sommelier, and the time when the murder occurred was that these people had abnormal behavior.

"Because the store manager used to sneak back and take a nap in the backyard or something, so the three of us went separate to look for it......"

The fat sommelier explained.

"The store manager usually comes back around 7 o'clock, we are afraid that he doesn't know that a friend is coming, I will go to the backyard with Hongjiang, and then go to the warehouse to find it."

Gao Cheng quickly learned what had happened from the three of them, and he didn't encounter any trouble, but the fat sommelier was quite cooperative.

The backyard is talking about the lounge, and there is still a blanket on the sofa inside, and it is said that when the three of them first looked for the manager of Asuka, there was only one blanket on the sofa in the lounge, and no one was found in the warehouse.

After 10 minutes, several people looked for the store manager again, this time the fat sommelier and the male waiter found the warehouse and toilet respectively, and finally the waitress found the store manager lying on the sofa with a blanket over his head in the lounge.

After another 10 minutes, the fat sommelier goes to the break room to wake up the manager, and the waitress receives a text message from the manager, asking him to take Ryuyu Higo and Yoko Okino to the warehouse.

Then there was the discovery of the body, the male waiter did not see the store manager in the warehouse, and when he turned back to find someone, the two of them found the body in the warehouse.

That's pretty much the way the whole process goes, and of course there are questions about the specifics.

Gao Cheng didn't believe in the fat taster, and asked the waitress with Lingzi, "Are you sure that it was Asuka Store Manager on the sofa at that time?" ”

"Yes," Ryoko Banba nodded in affirmation, "Although it is wrapped in a blanket, the store manager's shoes are placed next to the sofa, so it should be the store manager." ”

Gao Cheng's expression remained unchanged.

After sorting out the process, the whole case became very clear, and it was even known who the murderer was without further investigation.

Looking at the fat sommelier who was still responding to Uncle Maori's question, Gao Cheng quickly made a judgment in his heart.

There is no doubt that this person killed the manager of the Asuka store, just when he was looking for someone several times.
