Chapter 114: Progress of the Case
Chapter 114
"Don't have that life? How so? Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard Ushikawa Zhiren's words.
Ushikawa Tomohito smiled bitterly and told the story of himself and Tachika Furute.
"The first time I met Rika was at Waseda University, don't look at me as a club leader, but my hobby is reading, and the library of Waseda University is a place I frequent, and it was there that Rika and I met."
Xiao Yu smiled: "Then you fell in love with her at first sight?" ”
Ushikawa Tomohito nodded, without the slightest intention of hiding this.
"That's right, although I'm much older than Lixiang, but at that time, I really liked Lixiang, my original wife has passed away for several years, if you want to talk about grief, it must not be as good as at the beginning, but I have indeed been thinking about my deceased wife, and in Lixiang's body, I saw the shadow of my deceased wife again."
Xiao Yu and Conan glanced at each other, and this time it was Conan who asked, "Then Mr. Ushikawa, did you express your willingness to have a relationship with Miss Lixiang later?" ”
Ushikawa Tomohito smiled bitterly: "So, I don't have that life, just when I was about to confess to Lixiang, I already learned that she was engaged to a professor in college, so I had to give up." ”
"Ah...... That's a pity. "Xiaolan is a girl after all, and she is really emotional about such a plot that is almost like a romance story.
Xiao Yu and Conan's focus will not be here, Xiao Yu continued to ask: "Then after you got married, did you have any contact with Miss Gushou?" ”
"That's very little, just to maintain the level of meeting and saying hello, after all, she is married, if I often contact her, it will always cause some unnecessary trouble, even so, the outside world is still rumored that Lika is my mistress, isn't it?" Ushikawa Tomohito spread his hands helplessly.
"However, Lixiang did come to me once after marriage, and it seemed that there was something she wanted me to help with, but she didn't say anything, and she seemed to be in a bad mood at the time, and she was struggling with something, but no matter how I asked, I refused to say, and finally gave up, and I also investigated privately, but I didn't find anything, so I just did it."
This mentioned by Ushikawa Zhiren made Xiao Yu and Conan both pay attention, and Conan hurriedly asked, "Was that before Miss Gushou disappeared?" ”
"Of course, I remember about two weeks before Rikka disappeared, and later after Rika disappeared, I once suspected that it had something to do with what she came to me to look for at the time, so I conducted a lot of investigations, and I also sent people around to look for Rikka's whereabouts, but nothing was found."
Xiao Yu kept this in mind, and he seemed to have a direction of investigation in his heart, so he asked: "You said that you like Koteika very much, so you should have done a survey on Koteika's marriage partner, and you should also pay attention to their married life, right?" ”
Conan glanced at Xiao Yu, and he seemed to understand the reason why Xiao Yu asked.
"Eh, that's right, Osamu Yamazaki Island, this person is an English professor at Waseda University, and his usual reviews are not bad, there are no bad deeds, except that he likes to drink two glasses when he has nothing to do, he can hardly see any shortcomings, the love life of the two after marriage, according to my observation, their relationship is not very good, just a plain couple."
Plain couple, like this, thinking of this, Xiao Yu asked casually: "By the way, since Koteika is married to Yamazaki Shimaji, why didn't he change his husband's surname?" ”
Speaking of this, Ushikawa Tomohito also seemed to be puzzled: "I don't know, I also asked Rika at the time, but I still don't understand what Rikka's answer means." ”
She said: If you love someone, you have to give everything to the other person, but this is the only thing I want to keep myself. To be honest, I don't really understand what this means. ”
Xiao Yu rubbed his eyebrows, kept this sentence in his heart, and asked a few more questions, but Ushikawa Tomohito couldn't answer it, and sighed, it seems that Ushikawa Tomohito knows only so much.
"Well, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Ushikawa, if I have any questions in the future, I will probably come to you at any time, I hope ...... You still have to cooperate more in the future, otherwise I will open the way like this next time. Xiao Yu's eyes glanced at the scattered members of the Niuchuan Group in the courtyard outside, and said with a smile.
Ushikawa Tomohito smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
After the three of them left, these members of the Ushikawa Group got up from the ground, and one of his subordinates ran to Ushikawa Tomohito's side and said fiercely: "Boss, this matter can't just be settled, otherwise where will we put the face of the Ushikawa Group in the future." ”
Ushikawa Tomohito took a deep look at this subordinate: "Then what are you going to do?" Rush out and pull that silver-haired guy into some corner? Hehe, wash and sleep, don't think that our Niuchuan group has a bit of power, you think we are very amazing, right, let me tell you, compared with such people, our group's power is not enough for people to pinch casually! ”
The subordinates were choked, and they wanted to say something, can't they just fight a little, what's awesome, but thinking that they were put down by someone else, they were really not qualified to say this.
Ushikawa Tomohito glared at his subordinates, and there was still a word in his heart that did not come out.
Perhaps, this person can help him uncover the truth about Lixiang's disappearance.
……
Returning to the detective agency, the three of them remained silent, and at this time Xiao Yu had returned to a child's state, holding his mobile phone all the way, as if he was issuing some tasks to his subordinates.
The detective office was full of alcohol, and sure enough, without Xiaolan watching, Maori Kogoro really drank himself to death, at this time, Maori Kogoro was already drunk and went to rest early, just giving the three of them space to talk.
"Na, Xiao, how much do you believe what Niu Chuan said?" Conan asked, looking at the way he looked, as if he didn't trust Ushikawa Tomohito.
"He's not lying, I trust him, Conan, you can't look at people with colored glasses just because they're the underworld, and when I talk to him, I've been observing him, whether it's his facial expressions or his heartbeat, I can say for sure that he's not lying." Xiao Yu waved his hand and vetoed Conan's suspicions.
Conan rolled his eyes, in this regard, Xiao Yu is an absolute authority, if he said that a person did not lie, then this person must not lie, if a person lied, no matter how well he covered it up in front of Xiao Yu, he could not hide.
Your facial expressions may be trained without the slightest trace, but your heartbeat when you lie can't be changed, right?
Unfortunately, the sound of heartbeat cannot be hidden in Xiao Yu's superhuman five senses.
"Sister Xiaolan, do you think Ushikawa Zhiren lied?" Suddenly, Xiao Yu looked at Xiaolan and asked.
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "My words, although that Mr. Ushikawa looks scary, he doesn't seem to be a bad person, his feelings for Miss Lixiang should be true, I can see that he shouldn't lie about Miss Lixiang." ”
Xiao Yu sighed: "Sister Xiaolan, although your conclusion is correct, but the way of thinking is inevitably a little emotional, you still have to train more, and learn more from Conan in the future to think about problems, but you are right, Ushikawa Tomohito's feelings for Furute Rika are absolutely true, although he behaves very calmly, but as soon as the name of Furute Rika is mentioned, Ushikawa Tomohito's heartbeat will speed up, not the kind of tension that hides the problem, but really worried." ”
Conan leaned on the sofa and couldn't help but say: "In this case, although it can't be completely ruled out that Ushikawa Tomohito killed Miss Furute and then hid the body, no one has found such a suspicion until today, after all, Ushikawa Tomohito may have such a motive for Gute, Rika Kote, regardless of his feelings for her, but from now on, our focus should be ......"
Xiao Yu and Conan glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Yamazaki Shimaji, he is now the biggest suspect in this case!" ”
