In the rest area of the hospital hall, Kaori Nakahara found a position by the window and sat down, there was no one around, and it seemed very quiet.

Gao Cheng received a call from Officer Takagi, and when he came back, he saw that Kaga had already started a question, and it seemed that it was just an ordinary conversation, but the question was still very sensitive.

"We are childhood sweethearts who grew up together in the containment." Kaori Nakahara sat on the opposite side of the sofa with her legs crossed, a little cramped.

"After leaving the shelter, you worked in a nursing home, and Mr. Yashima worked at a construction company, right?"

"Well, but three years ago, the company where Fuyuki worked closed down, and he said he was going to work in Tokyo, so I came along."

"Mr. Yashima's last text message was for you, after six o'clock last night," Kaga said, showing a photo of the text message on his mobile phone, "Is Mr. Yashima looking for a job?" ”

Kaori Nakahara lowered her head: "He has been looking for ...... since he was fired from the factory half a year ago"

"Factory? Which factory is it? ”

"This ...... I don't know very well, but I just know that it's a factory that produces parts, so it seems to be called Kaneda or Kanemoto......"

"Goldstone metal?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Do you know where he went for an interview yesterday?"

"I don't know, I didn't hear him."

"Mr. Yashima had a car accident at half past nine last night, and he was on the phone with you before that, right? What did you say? Kaga continued.

"What did you say......" Kaori Nakahara thought about it for a moment, opened her mouth, and suddenly thought of something and looked away and said, "I'll go home right away, I'm sorry to be busy so late...... That's the only way. ”

"Is that really the only way?" Kaga quietly looked at Kaori Nakahara.

"That," Kaori Nakahara bit her lower lip, "Fuyuki has never done anything like that, he can't kill anyone...... What a horrible thing......"

"Miss Nakahara."

Gao Cheng interrupted: "I understand your feelings, but the police found the victim's things on him, and he did try to escape when he was found by the patrol police." ”

Gao Cheng took out several photos of the evidence, as well as a photo of the victim Takeaki Aoyagi.

"He is the head of the gold and stone metal manufacturing department, he was killed at about nine o'clock last night, his belongings and briefcase were on Mr. Hachishima, who was found by police officers on patrol and was hit by a truck on the way to escape...... Here's how it has gone so far. ”

"Are you saying he killed this man and then robbed him of his belongings? Fuyuki wouldn't do such a thing, he's not that kind of person! Kaori Nakahara's eyes gradually reddened, and she clenched her fingers and muttered, "He's definitely not that kind of person...... It must be a misunderstanding, where is it wrong......"

"We also feel that there is a lot of suspicion, so we are working hard to investigate," Gao Cheng said softly, "Miss Nakahara, if you know something, please tell us, this is also for the sake of Mr. Yashima......"

Leaving the hospital, Kaori Nakahara didn't say anything in the end, and in the end she only knew the only connection between the victim and the suspect of "Jinshi Metal Company".

Kaga was not discouraged, but looked at Gao Cheng with a smile: "How is it?" ”

"She must know something," Gao Cheng looked back at the hospital, "Concealing the truth, there are such things...... But looking at her appearance, it seems that she is very sure that Fuyuki Yashima will not kill, but for some reason she is a little self-doubting......

"I think Hachishima Fuyuki must have said something in that phone call to her after the crime last night......"

"Oh?" Kaga smiled, "Let her calm down for the time being, and then let's go to the victim's house to see the situation." ”

"Is this how all front-line police officers run around?" Gao Cheng couldn't help but ask, not only them, but the police dispatched this time almost formed an investigation network in the area of Nihonbashi.

"This is just the beginning." Kaga smiled.

Gao Cheng suddenly missed Takagi a little, in the past, at the scene of the crime, if there was a need, as long as Takagi went on a trip, he could almost get the clues he wanted.

But if you don't run in person this time, it's really hard to do.

And until now, he has not had the opportunity to go to the scene of the crime to actually take a look, although there is a map explanation during the investigation meeting, but he always feels that it is not intuitive enough.

Aoyagi family.

Speaking of Aoyagi, Gao Cheng subconsciously popped up a name "Aoyagi Zunzai" in his mind, as if he was an actor.

Of course it has nothing to do with here.

The victim, Takeaki Aoyagi, as the head of a large company, has 3 relatives at home, a wife, a daughter, and a son.

When Gao Cheng and Kaga came over, the front of the villa was surrounded by noisy reporters, presumably by night, and the identity and background of the victim would be fully revealed.

But can't these people take into account the feelings of the victim's family? It is a sad time when the head of the family is killed......

"We're also bad guys," Kaga squeezed through the crowd and entered Aoyagi's house, "but there is no way to find out about the case." ”

Because they had called beforehand, the person who didn't look very good quickly invited the two into the house.

Aoyagi living room.

Mrs. Aoyagi shook her head with a photo of Fuyuki Hachishima: "I don't know him......"

"Yashima worked at the factory of Jinshi Metal half a year ago."

"My grandson almost never mentions the company to me."

"Does your husband often go to the Nihonbashi area?"

"Actually, we don't know why he asked where he would go...... "Mrs. Aoyagi returned the photo of Hachishima to Takatari, "and other police officers have already asked." ”

"Do you notice anything?" Kaga suddenly asked the victim's son, who was staying aside, "Was there anything unusual when you finally saw your father?" ”

The victim's son shook his head avoids his gaze: "No ......"

When he left Aoyagi's house, he didn't ask any clues, looking at the uncomfortable feeling that this family couldn't hide, but he didn't know anything about the questioning, and no one knew about the victim's private situation.

The victim does not seem to have a very close relationship with his family, he is a very stubborn father, and he does not like to talk much, and only becomes talkative when he mentions swimming with his son.

"Three days ago, Mr. Aoyagi called his son's alma mater, Shubunkan High School, and looking at his son's expression just now, he seemed to have thought of something," Kaga said in a deep voice, "Let's go to Shubunkan High School." ”

Gao Cheng has no objection, and the police department must have more experience than him in the investigation.

"That's the only way, why do these people like to hide the truth?"

"It's not necessarily a bad thing," Kaga said with a smile, "There are three kinds of lies, lies to protect oneself, lies to deceive others, and lies to cover up others...... Generally lies are the shadow of the truth, and as long as you step on it, you will definitely gain something. ”

"Shadow of Truth......

Gao Cheng honestly followed Kaga.

In fact, before Kaori Nakahara was interrogated, the system had already popped up the case, and this time it was an important event for him.

"New entrant, the Qilin Wings Incident." It's another case other than Conan, there is no high IQ method, and the difficulty is that he needs to collect a lot of detailed clues, which is a test of his ability.

Maybe it's the biggest problem he's had since he became a detective......

Although the suspect Fuyuki Yashima, who is still in a coma, has the victim's belongings on him and has escaped, it seems that he is very likely to be the murderer, and the police just want to confirm the facts......

But he personally doesn't think it's enough to make a conclusion.

Fuyuki Yashima may not be the real culprit, it may just be passing by the scene and taking away his belongings.

"Officer Kaga." Gao Cheng walked beside Kaga, thinking of Kaori Nakahara's strong holding back tears, and suddenly said loudly.

"How?"

"I don't know why, I feel that what Miss Zhongyuan said is true, and there may really be some misunderstanding in this case."

"Detective's intuition?" Kaga groaned, "Then investigate according to your own feelings." ”

……

Shubunkan High School, Takasei and Kaga stand together at the school gate.

The victim contacted the consultant teacher of the swimming club where his son worked, and said that he wanted to talk to the teacher about his son Yuto Aoyagi, which the teacher of the swimming club did not hide it, and other police officers came to investigate in the morning.

"The victim was worried that he and his son didn't get along well recently, and said that he would find time to talk again, and then hung up the phone......

"It's not that simple to think about," Gao Cheng frowned, "Is there really a problem here?" ”

Compared with the previous cases, there is no shadow of high-IQ crimes, but it is not very smooth, and it is extremely troublesome.

I don't know what Conan would do if he came over, probably no better than him......

It was already evening, and Takasari and Kaga returned to Nihonbashi Ningyocho together, passing by a dessert shop.

"Officer Kaga," Gao Cheng said, pausing in his steps, "let's have something to eat first." ”

"Welcome," a waitress greeted the two, "do you want something to eat?" ”

"A dessert...... Another cup of coffee and four pieces of creamer, thank you. ”

Gao Cheng sat down near the window, saw Kaga staring at him, and said embarrassedly: "Every time I play sports or handle cases, I am used to eating some sweets. ”

Kaga didn't say anything, and sat directly opposite Gao Cheng: "I'm the same, sweets help the brain work...... But you put four pieces of creamer every time you drink coffee? ”

"Ugh."

Gao Cheng looked at the time, it was already past the time for Xiao Ai to go to the pottery classroom, maybe he had already gone home.

"Oops...... I forgot about it by accident, so I had to go back another day......"

"Forgot?"

"Ah, it's nothing," Gao Cheng came back to his senses, put a map and the victim's information on the table, and said, "Mr. Kaga, the latest news found by the other teams, Mr. Aoyagi went to a café in Edobashi that night, which was near the scene of the murder...... According to the waiter, he bought two lattes at half past seven in the evening. ”

Hearing this, Kaga tapped the table: "So there was still someone with him at that time?" ”

"The management officer thinks it's likely to be Yashima," Gao Cheng nodded, "It's said that Hachishima may have been forcibly dismissed, and he met the head office half a year later, and he held a grudge...... However, it is still very problematic, Yashima was looking for a job that day, and it was a bit unreasonable to carry a folding knife. ”

"Indeed," Kaga listened, "Kaori Nakahara also said she hadn't seen the knife. ”

"In addition, I heard that Mr. Aoyagi had appeared in Nihonbashi Ningyo Town a few days before the incident, and there was a gift shop that remembered that he had bought a glasses case," Takanari continued, "and it was the glasses case that was not confirmed by the family, and the company was in Shinjuku, the factory was in the country, and the eviction was in Nerima...... I really don't know how he came here to buy glasses cases, and then he was killed on the Nihonbashi side. ”

Kaga took the map and marked several important locations: "What the hell is Mr. Aoyagi doing here?" ”

"Kaga-senpai?" A waitress next to her saw Kaga and was surprised, "Are you investigating the murder on the Nihonbashi Bridge?" ”

"Long time no see," Kaga smiled, who seemed to be familiar with the waitress, picked up Takeaki Aoyagi's photo and asked, "Have you seen this person?" ”

The waitress approached and nodded, "I've been here since half a year ago, and I don't think I've ever been to Ningyocho before, and I was asked for directions at the time." ”

"Half a year ago?"

"Yes, most of them come on weekends, saying that they want to eat sweets after exercise, wear light golf clothes, always pay attention to the time on their watches while looking at the map, and then go for a walk with a digital camera, and not only go to one place......"

"It's a journalist," Kaga lamented, "and it's very observant......

The waitress was embarrassed and said, "I'm just calling myself, and now I have to work here to make ends meet." ”

When the woman left, Gao Cheng took a bite of the sweet, and couldn't help but ask Kaga, "Girlfriend?" ”

"Former junior."

"Oh."

Gao Cheng looked at the busy figure of the waitress on the other side and didn't ask much.

From the information provided by the waitress, it was at least known that the victim had been active in the Nihonbashi area since half a year ago, and it seemed that he had deliberately hidden it from his family.

According to Mr. Aoyagi's family, it is true that he goes out to play golf every weekend, and Mrs. Aoyagi complains...... There are only 3 things that the family doesn't know, the source of the glasses case has been confirmed, and is there any connection between the digital camera and the Internet café membership card? ”

Gao Cheng pondered: "I asked Officer Takagi, it seems that the Internet café membership card was also issued half a year ago...... By the way, Mr. Kaga, let's go to the national factory tomorrow to see if we can find out about the relationship between the victim and the suspect. ”

Kaga ate and said, "Mmmm, I'll leave it to you over there." ”

Gao Cheng paused: "I'm going alone?" But I'm not a police officer......"

"It's useless to go to the national side to investigate the factory and take me, the police officer in the Nihonbashi district, right?" Kaga said of course, "I'll leave it to you over there, I'll continue to look for clues here, and I'm a little concerned about what Mr. Aoyagi is doing here on Nihonbashi." ”

"Then if there is any clue, please contact."

Gao Cheng drank an extra amount of creamer coffee, thinking that he would have to ask Officer Takagi for help again.

At this time, I only knew the difference between the Metropolitan Police Department police officer and the precinct police officer, but relatively speaking, the precinct police must be much more familiar with the precinct, so Officer Twilight will let him be in a group with Kaga, right?

At present, it seems that this Kaga police officer is indeed very capable, unlike the Inland Sea in the north of Kaizuka, except for the hard work of not admitting defeat and the so-called intuition, his brain is not easy at all.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Utsumi in a long time, and I haven't looked for him recently......

"Okay, let's work hard," Gao Cheng took a sip of coffee, stood up and said, "The management officer will trouble Officer Kaga to report it......"

"Hey," Kaga grabbed Gao Cheng and asked seriously, "You haven't reported yet?" ”

"Any questions?" Gao Cheng was stunned, "I'm not a policeman." ”
