Chapter 109

Things have to start from yesterday when I was in the restaurant, when Yamazaki Shimaji appeared, and I found Xiaolan directly, and it seemed that the goal was very clear.

"Look at what he looked like at the time, to be honest, I don't believe he met Xiaolan by chance, so he temporarily asked Xiaolan to help and handed over the commission to Uncle Maori, his purpose at that time was very clear, that is, he came straight to Xiaolan." Xiao Yu twisted his chin and analyzed.

And Conan also added: "And another piece of evidence to prove this statement is that when it was explained to us that he was here to look for Furutetsu Rika, there was a theory that it was this restaurant, where he and his wife last met, so I wanted to come here to look for it, maybe there would be something to discover, but that was suspicious enough." ”

"That's right, if that's the case, he can't explain the he said about the chance encounter, and the directivity is becoming more and more obvious, since you are here to find the traces of your missing wife, why are all the other guests ignored, but only focus on Xiaolan?"

Conan scratched his hair: "I really don't understand why he did this, judging from the results, he just let Uncle Maori take over this commission, taking advantage of Xiaolan's kindness, but judging from the commission fee of 500,000 yen he offered, the uncle's greedy nature will not refuse at all, I don't understand why he wants to go around in a big circle." ”

"All in all, this person must have his own purpose when he appears here to see Xiaolan, but we don't know what the purpose is now, I won't relax for the investigation of Yamazaki Shimaji, and Xiaolan's protection will be strengthened in the near future, if you want to find out what the hell Yamazaki Shimaji is doing, I'm afraid I have to find out the truth about the disappearance of Yakuza Ritsu." Xiao Yu shook his head, this matter was very strange at the beginning, so he would open Xiaolan to investigate, since Yamazaki Shimaji calculated Xiaolan so much, it is very likely that the purpose was to get something from Xiaolan, before Xiao Yu and Conan found out anything, it is the best way to temporarily isolate Xiaolan and Yamazaki Shimajim.

Conan nodded, leaned back on the couch and asked, "What do you think?" I mean, Rika Furute is now alive or dead. ”

"Hmm...... Personally, I'm inclined to have been killed. Xiao Yu scratched his eyebrows and said.

"Ah, it's true that the current situation makes it more likely to be killed, but one thing I've always found strange is what Shimaharu Yamazaki said."

Xiao Yu thought back for a moment and said: "Are you saying that before Shimaharu Yamazaki described to us the disappearance of Furute Rika, the whole person behaved very strangely, and he guessed that Furute Rika might have been involved in some crime, right?" ”

Conan nodded: "Although judging from the information we have obtained, the possibility of Kotetsu Rika being involved in any case is very low, but we can't deny that there is such a possibility after all, don't you say?" ”

Xiao Yu also nodded, in fact, he also thought so, and he was even more radical, thinking that if Furute Rika was involved in a criminal case, then Yamazaki Shimaji would not be able to get out of it nine times out of ten.

"Anyway, I noticed that Koteika didn't take her husband's surname, isn't it a Japanese custom that after a woman gets married, she will change her husband's surname?" Xiao Yu suddenly took the information and noticed a little and said.

Conan obviously noticed this, and after thinking about it, he said: "Not necessarily, some women who are more open-minded, or who have received foreign education, will not change their surnames, which is not a big deal after all." ”

Xiao Yu didn't speak, frowning.

Conan noticed Xiao Yu's strangeness and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"No...... If you look at the past information of Koteika, what does it show that this woman's concept is more Western-style feminist? On the contrary, there is a feeling of Yamato Nadeshiko.,The information here is clear.,Before marrying Yamazaki Shimajima,Furute Rika was very ambitious.,Even about to be promoted to grade leader.,But after marrying Yamazaki Shimajima.,Immediately gave up the opportunity for promotion.,Even if you can't let go of the children she brings.,I'm afraid I'll resign.,It's a bit ......"

The two glanced at each other, indeed, judging from such an experience, Rika Furute was not the kind of woman who was particularly independent, but almost became a full-time wife after getting married.

This doesn't follow the husband's surname, which seems a little strange.

Why wouldn't a woman with such a tradition be so traditional as it is so obvious?

Could there be any problems here?

"Okay, it looks like we've found another clue that should be followed, which direction are you going to check from next?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I'm going to get in touch with the teachers at Kakudo Elementary School who are with Gunterika Aka, what about you?"

"I'm going to get in touch with the police and see if I can find any clues."

Conan immediately narrowed his half-moon eyes and said, "Hey, you don't plan to sneak into the Metropolitan Police Department to steal something, I'll tell you......"

Xiao Yu immediately glared back: "Can you do it, can I do it?" This is not a big case, just talk to the police officers we know well...... Okay, okay, I'm going to contact Officer Sato right now, she's the detective in charge of this case two years ago. ”

Under Conan's supervision, Xiao Yu dialed Officer Sato's phone.

"Moxi Moxi, ah, it's Xiao Jun, what's the matter?" Miwako Sato's nice voice came from the phone.

Now the relationship between Xiao Yu and Miwako Sato is not bad, after all, there is a life-saving grace in front of him, and Sato is also very curious about Xiao Yu, and the relationship between the two is naturally understandable.

"Ah, Officer Sato, I have something I want to ask you, it was Uncle Maori who asked me to ask you, is it convenient for you now?"

"Of course it's convenient, you can say it." Sato immediately said, I have to say, Sato's character is really like a very sunny tomboy, and his temper is very easy-going.

After Xiao Yu relayed the incident of Yamazaki Shimajim, Officer Sato hesitated a little, and Xiao Yu followed up and said: "Officer Sato, if it involves secrecy, forget it, I'll let Uncle Maori check it himself." ”

As soon as Sato heard Xiao Yu say this, he immediately put down that little thought, hey, what a big deal, how about the leakage of the case leaked to the Maori detective family by a group of criminal police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department if they have nothing to do, besides, there are so many cases that people have helped them solve, and there is always a little face, and if this case is solved in the end, the credit will not be their own.

"Okay, but it's more troublesome to talk about, if Xiao Jun has time for lunch today, we can make an appointment to tell you, but you must convey what I told you to Mr. Maori."

"Got it~"

After that, Xiao Yu hung up the phone, and then saw Conan looking at Xiao Yu with a terrifying look.

"Damn, what's wrong with you, what's your expression?"

"Hey, you guy, why are you so skilled at using your uncle's reasons to do things?"

Xiao Yu immediately ignored Conan, this question should be asked to yourself first.

Hearing that he could get first-hand information from Sato that the case was being investigated by the police, Conan also decided to go with Xiao Yu, and as for meeting with other teachers at Kabido Elementary School, this matter can be postponed.

The two immediately seized the time to sleep, and when they woke up, it was already eleven o'clock at noon, which happened to be the agreed meeting time between Xiao Yu and Officer Sato, Xiao Yu found Akemi to drive the two to a tea restaurant near the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Officer Sato!" Xiao Yu greeted with a smile, I have to say that Officer Sato is a big beauty, if it is quiet, that kind of aura is really charming, but the usual big grin appearance can't see this sign at all.

"Ah, Xiao Jun, Conan is here too, sit down, do you want to eat? I'm in for a treat today. ”

The two of them naturally didn't come here to eat, so they ordered a drink casually and began to ask about the case.

"This case was two years ago, and the person who reported it was the husband of the missing person, that is, Mr. Mori's client, Shimaharu Yamazaki, and when he received the report, he said that he hadn't seen his wife for three days?"

"Three days?" Both of them were shocked, and then Conan said: "Don't the police suspect that it was Osamu Yamazaki who killed Kotetsu Rika and hid the corpse before reporting to the police?" ”

Officer Sato grinned, but did not show any displeasure: "Of course, but after our investigation, it was confirmed that Shimaharu Yamazaki had a clear alibi." ”

"He was on a business trip abroad at the time, during which he also called home, but no one answered, and when he came home and found that his wife was gone, he realized that something was wrong, and came to the police, he went on a business trip abroad, and we also verified, and we confirmed through investigation that before Yamazaki Shimaji called the police, Furute Rika had been missing for at least two days, and at this time Yamazaki Shima was already abroad."

Xiao Yu frowned, indeed, this is indeed the firmest alibi, but I always feel that something is strange.

Officer Sato continued: "At that time, this case really stumped many of us, all of Furute's colleagues and friends were unable to provide various clues after the incident, and Furute Rika herself did not have any conflicts with others, let alone any suspicion of being implicated in any crime, this case had no way to investigate, although the police did not give up the investigation, but seriously, I don't expect anything." ”

Xiao Yu and Conan glanced at each other, and it turned out that this side was also a two-eyed and black-eyed one.

"But then we got an interesting clue."

However, just when the two of them had given up on getting any useful information from Sato, Sato suddenly said.

"Huh? What the? ”

"It is rumored that when Rika Furute was in college, she was very close to the boss of the Ushikawa group, and she may even be his mistress."
