Chapter 99: All witnesses are dead

Conan's question made the old policeman's eyes sink. He had already repeated those names over and over again many times, but now when others asked, he immediately blurted out the names of several eyewitnesses...... This really doesn't look like a confused old man.

He could only forcibly hold back his mood and count them slowly one by one, "It seems that there are former village chiefs Kameyama, Kawashima, by the way, the current village chief Kuroiwa has also testified, and that Nishimoto...... Well? What kind of eyes are you, is there something on Uncle's face? ”

"......", not yet, but Conan would love to get something up.

Why can you recall it so calmly! All of them, except for Nishimoto, are dead! Why didn't you say such an important clue earlier?!

The one who followed behind had obviously been paying attention to them for a long time, and at this moment a question floated from afar, "In addition to the fact that they are all eyewitnesses, what is the relationship between these four people?" ”

"They were all friends who grew up with Keiji Aso." , The old man's voice was slow, and he couldn't hear the emotion, "I don't know why I happened to be at the scene that night, maybe I made an appointment to be a guest, and then I watched my friend die in the fire, and I blamed myself too much, so I was afraid to mention Aso." ”

Conan shook his head in his heart, no, these four people are definitely related to the death of Keiji Aso. But before that, what made this group of small rebels cause this tragedy?

Also, the Aso family is all dead, and if the deaths of Kameyama, Kawashima, and Kuroiwa are because someone is taking revenge, then who will be the murderer?

…… It can't be the only Nishimoto who didn't die, right? But when Kawashima died, his fear didn't look like he was pretending.

After thinking about it, he soon came to the police station, where the old policeman brought Conan some snacks, walked to the cabinet by himself, and began to rummage through it.

There is not a big place here, but there are a lot of clutter, and I haven't cleaned it up well before, so the old policeman stood in the messy room and looked around, and decisively started rummaging through the farthest place from the key.

Asai Narumi was able to hide from a group of policemen without danger and kill two people in a row, in addition to her good luck, but also because he made full use of his own advantages and let the police lock the suspect into a man with more strength, which is why it is difficult to hide until now.

But once the police can't find a breakthrough point, they first bring the witness over to make a record, and when they show their ID cards, it will be difficult to hide Asai Narumi's true gender.

The old policeman didn't have much affection for this grandson, who was not related by blood or even faintly opposed. But for now, at least, their purpose is the same.

…… Hopefully, the time I've dragged out will be enough for you to take out the last damn man.

……

An hour later.

Bai Shu slowly poured himself the fourth cup of tea, he had almost finished drinking the hot water from the police station, and the old policeman was still rummaging over there, paddling unscrupulously.

Conan was in a hurry beside him, but seeing people hunched over, bent over, and sweating profusely with reading glasses, he really couldn't say anything to urge.

Conan wanted to help find it before, but was stopped by Shiraki, saying that many things in the police station were confidential, and it would be bad to rummage through them and violate the privacy of the islanders, so it became the current situation.

Conan looked at his watch anxiously, and finally decided: wait another ten minutes, and if the old policeman still can't find it, he will go to help.

Anyway, they have all been turned into children, and the identity of the bear child does not need to be in vain.

I don't know if I sensed Conan's determination, and when the old policeman opened the last drawer, he finally picked up a dusty key from inside, "Haha, here!" ”

Conan jumped up and said excitedly, "Quick, get it to the officer!" ”

The old policeman nodded, and was about to go out, but suddenly a person ran outside.

As soon as Bai Shu turned his head, he saw Xiaolan standing at the door, and waved his hand to them helplessly, "No need, everyone is impatient to wait, and it's getting late, so they unanimously decided to look at it tomorrow, and now they all go back to their respective homes." I'll pick you up. ”

"What?!" Conan began to regret that he hadn't stayed at the scene, and Uncle Maori and Officer Twilight were thinking, "Then even the suspects are gone!" ”

Xiaolan didn't realize that the matter was not over at all, thinking that Conan was worried that the murderer would abscond in fear of crime, "This is an isolated island, and there is no ship to sail tonight, so it would be good to gather everyone tomorrow." ”

"It's not over yet! …… Forget it, I'm going to go to the community center first. Uncle, can you give me the key to the warehouse first? Conan always had a bad premonition.

After taking the key from the old man's hand, he looked at Shiraki again, "Brother Naoki, you go to Nishimoto's house, I'm worried that he will be in danger." ”

As soon as Bai Shu nodded, Conan had already rushed out in a puff of smoke, and Xiaolan was worried that he would run away, so she hurriedly followed.

As the two of them walked away, the police station gradually fell silent.

The other two looked at each other, and the old policeman asked, "Are you going to Nishimoto's house?" ”

Bai Shu wiped his hands and stood up, "Far away?"

"It's unfortunate that it's on the other side of the island.

“…… That's it. Bai Shu simply sat down again, and took a snack on tea, which the old policeman brought to Conan just now, but Conan didn't eat a bite, "Let's go directly to the community center later, let's just say that there is no one in the Nishimoto family." ”

"Huh." , The old policeman couldn't get used to his appearance of staying out of the matter, but he was pressed by other people's identities, and he dared not speak out, and finally took the last biscuit away angrily, took a vicious bite, and then froze instantly.

"Broken teeth, what is strong if the teeth are not good, people have to serve the old." , Bai Shu preached calmly, completely ignoring the fact that he was N times older than others.

After nearly an hour, Shiraki's mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was Mori Kogoro calling, "There is no need to go to Nishimoto's house, he hanged himself in the warehouse of the activity center, and left a suicide note at his feet, saying that he did the murder." But Conan, the kid, didn't say he committed suicide...... Alas, it's not clear on the phone, anyway, you should come to the office first. ”

Bai Shu hung up the phone, wiped his mouth after eating and drinking, and the old policeman went out with him, and when he reached the fork in the road, he walked to the other side, "I'll go to the warehouse to get the sheet music, they can't find it." ”

The two parted ways, with Shiraki entering the office and finding Twilight reviewing the case, while Conan stood in the doorway, staring thoughtfully at his fingers.

The light in front of him suddenly dimmed, Conan was startled, and when he looked up, he found that Bai Shu was also staring at his fingers, "What are you looking at." ”

Conan looked left and right and lowered his voice, "Heroin." When I arrived in the piano room, I saw someone fumbling for something under the piano, and then he smashed the window and fled. I went to check the piano and found that there was a dark compartment underneath it, and some white powder had fallen directly under the dark compartment. ”
