Metropolitan Police Department.

After the search meeting, Gao Cheng and Mori Kogoro were left alone, because they happened to be involved in the rehearsal of the Domoto concert, and the uncle also intervened in the case, but this time Conan was not able to be together because of the identity of a child.

Uncle was originally a criminal policeman, and he was no stranger to the search meeting, except that he didn't understand it very well, everything else was fine.

"Meet again, Mr. Mori, and Detective Joto." Kuroda Beibei took the initiative to come over and meet with Takatari and Mori Kogoro.

It's only been a few days since the Nagano Prefecture case, and he was able to transfer to the Metropolitan Police Department in advance, and it was also because of the merits of that case, the case within the county police can be said to be a big case, and while solving the case, he destroyed the woodpecker club for many years in one fell swoop, so he who knows the inside story is actually very grateful to Gao Cheng.

Although I've always heard of the Metropolitan Police Department's Metropolitan Police Department, it's the first time I've really seen it, and I can only say that it's really unusual, and it's beyond the scope of ordinary detectives.

If anyone can solve this serial murder case, the biggest possibility is Gao Cheng.

"It's surprising," Kogoro Mori was also quite familiar with Kuroda Guard, "I didn't expect Mr. Inspector to come to the Metropolitan Police Department so soon." ”

After the small talk, the topic returned to the murder case, and Twilight took the lead in saying, "Anyway, it's too much of a coincidence that all of these things happened around Mr. Domoto, and besides, I heard that Mr. Domoto is actually very dissatisfied with the attitude of the four people who were killed, and it is not completely without a motive." ”

Gao Cheng had some thoughts, but he didn't say them for the time being.

The police are still a little one-sided, in his opinion, this time it may be that two cases are stacked together, from the fact that 4 people were killed in Shuikou, and it can be seen that Kazuko and Reiko Akiwa are still alive.

Especially Reiko Akiwa, although she can't perform at the concert, she hasn't actually suffered much damage, and her voice problem will be better in a few days.

The more correct starting point for this case should be on the side of the four people in Shuikou, and the flute left at the scene of the crime is a direction.

No matter what the murderer's intentions are, starting the investigation from here will definitely be fruitful, so at the end of the meeting just now, he also gave his preliminary suggestion, which is to investigate from the social relations of the four people in Shuikou and look for clues that may be related to the flute.

"Brother Chengto," asked Gao Cheng, who was silent at Dusk, "do you really think that the investigation from the flute side can lead to results?" ”

"Well," Gao Cheng came back to his senses to meet everyone's gaze and nodded, "Leaving a part of the flute at the scene of the murder, in addition to confusing the police investigation, there is also a possibility that it is for revenge, no matter what it is, there will be nothing wrong with investigating from the side of the social relations of the four people, I think, once there is a result here, it should be similar to the side of the river and Miss Qiuting." ”

"I hope so," Twilight didn't know what to do, "but the prisoner probably won't continue to commit crimes." ”

"Well, Officer Twilight," Gao Cheng asked suddenly, "you should have Miss Qiuting's address, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Takasei takes the address he asked for from Twilight and finds Reiko Akiniwa's high-end apartment in Tokyo.

There are very few poor people who play music, let alone well-known soprano singers like Reiko Akiwa, the apartments are not high, but they are quite beautiful, they are all very large, and the surrounding environment is also very quiet.

In general, celebrities and musicians like to live in this kind of place.

This time, Reiko Akiwa was wearing home clothes, without a queen-like temperament, but sitting on the bed with thick long hair, listening to music alone, with a faint sadness, there was no strength on the outside at all, only a little weak and strong.

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell pulled back Qiu Ting's thoughts, and after hurriedly turning off the music, he stepped on his slippers to open the door at the entrance, and was surprised to find that it was Gao Cheng who visited.

Because her throat was irritated and she couldn't speak, Qiu Ting Reiko could only show a surprised expression and look at Gao Cheng inquiringly.

"Disturbed ......"

Gao Cheng was also stunned for a moment when he saw Qiu Ting's reiko in home mode, and his thick long black hair was draped in front of him, completely changing his temperament.

"Miss Reiko, I heard that your voice is wrong, so I'm going to take a look...... Can you go in and talk? ”

Qiu Ting's face calmed down, and after letting Gao Cheng enter the house, she poured a glass of juice, and wrote in her notebook by the way: "Is it for the previous case?" ”

"Officer Twilight, they've already looked for you, if you want, you've said everything you need to say, so I won't ask more, just ......" Gao Cheng immediately noticed the layout of Retsuko Akita's room, there was a group photo and a flute by the window, and in the group photo was a photo of Reiko Akiwa and a male musician, who seemed to be a flutist.

It's no wonder that when he heard Officer Twilight say that when he asked about the flute at the concert rehearsal site before, Reiko Akiwa reacted strangely.

For Reiko Akiwa, the flute is obviously not ordinary......

"Huh!" Qiu Ting Reiko didn't have a good face and closed the soundproof curtain to stop Gao Cheng's gaze.

"I want to be alone for a while, can I ask you to go back after drinking the juice?" Reiko Akiwa wrote in her notebook.

"I'm sorry," Gao Cheng retracted his gaze and shook his head, "I just wanted to ask you about the concert, the police suspect that when you borrowed a classroom to practice singing at the Tangben Conservatory of Music, someone took the opportunity to add something to the thermos flask, and who are the people you are practicing singing there?" ”

Reiko Akiba thought for a while and continued to write: "The people in the academy, as well as the people in the concert hall, should know that it's not something worth hiding, and I practiced singing at the academy during this time. ”

Writing this, Reiko Akiwa hesitated for a moment and then wrote, "Are the police suspicious of Miss Chigusa? ”

"It's true that there are suspicions, but there is no evidence to prove that it was Chigusa who did it."

Gao Cheng didn't stay here for too long, it was not suitable to enter a single woman's apartment, and after drinking the juice, he said goodbye: "Anyway, if you can think of any clues, send me a message, there may be more people hurt in this case." ”

"It's not over yet?" Reiko Qiu Ting frowned in confusion.

"It's just my feeling," Gao Cheng said lightly, "The reason why the police feel that the serial murder case is over is also because the body, tail, and head pipes left at the scene are all together." ”

For the autumn garden in front of him, he was not completely unsuspicious, so he didn't explain much.

Until he has enough clues, everything is possible, and he will not only look at the surface, because Reiko Akiwa trusts unreservedly because she is beautiful.

I would think that beautiful women would not sin, and probably only Uncle Maori would be the guy.

Of course, judging from the current clues, it is unlikely that Reiko Akiba is a criminal, because of the flute, the police will investigate sooner or later, and it is difficult for the real prisoner to leave this kind of loophole, which contradicts the criminal modus operandi.

Gao Cheng walked out of the apartment building calmly and left along the side of the road under the watchful eyes of Reiko Qiu Ting upstairs.

Regardless of whether Reiko Akiwa is a criminal or not, there is at least one gain from coming here, that is, Reiko Akiwa is not unrelated to serial murders.

Based on this alone, he has the confidence to solve the case.

Compared to music, detective is really his field......

……

"Officer Twilight!" At the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato and Takagi hurriedly found Twilight, "I've found out the connection between those four people and Miss Akiwa!" ”

"Three years ago, the flutist who was traveling with them to the training camp in the dormitory of Domoto Academy in Izu fell from a nearby cliff due to drunkenness and died of serious injuries."

Takagi pulled out a photo and said, "That flutist is named Hikaru Soma, who was 28 years old at the time, a sixth graduate of the Domoto Conservatory of Music, and the fiancé of Reiko Akiwa. ”

"Although Soma Hikatsu's death was not directly related to those 4 people, and it was handled as an accident at the time, the cause was that the 4 people forced Soma Hikaru to drink with poor alcohol, so Reiko Akiwa did have a motive." Sato added.

Twilight perked up: "Okay, hurry up and contact the old brother of the city!" ”
