Chapter 8: Mori Kogoro's Assist
The deceased Kenzo Hirota, cause of death: suffocation, location of the crime: apartment, four clues randomly provided by the system are the motive for the crime: vendetta, scene situation: glasses, scene traces: fingerprints, social relations: colleagues.
The glasses were found at the scene, and the model was supposed to be a pair of women's glasses, and the fingerprints were also found, which were extracted from the rope and ceiling by the forensic department. However, the fingerprints extracted from the glasses were not the same person as those on the ceiling. The detective system generally provides clues about the relationship between the murderer and the victim, that is to say, there should be two people who killed Kenzo Hirota, and one of them may be a woman and the other, if you want to hang the burly Kenzo Hirota to the ceiling, it is obviously unlikely that the woman will do it alone, and the shallow strangulation marks on the neck also mean that the deceased was directly picked up and put on a rope that has been prepared for a long time, that is to say, this is a tall burly man.
Although the Twilight Police Department said that all the valuable things were taken away at the scene except for the four cats, the motive provided by the detective system was vendetta, which means that the Twilight Police Department was misled, the two murderers were not robbers who robbed the house, but a premeditated vendetta, and those things that were looted may have been faked scenes, if the social relationship is a colleague, then Kenzo Hirota's social relationship is very necessary to investigate, and the other two people are likely to be his accomplices. One billion yen, the possibility of being killed unevenly is quite large!
Holding the 10,000 yen bill in his hand, looking at the proof information fed back from the robbed bank, Yuichi Kudo compared and analyzed the clues provided by the detective system.
Kenzo Hirota is one of the murderers in the billion-yen robbery has been basically confirmed, and now all he has to do is to find his other two accomplices and the robbed yen, but these things are not provided by the detective system, and he can only rely on himself to figure it out.
Just as he was sitting at his desk and bowing his head in contemplation, Wataru Takagi, who had been sent by him to run errands, gasped and ran back, "Kudo Criminal! There are clues! β
"Oh? What clues? Come on, Takagi Criminal, sit down and have a cup of tea to slow down! Yuichi, who heard Takagi's report, held back the excitement in his heart, and after handing Takagi a cup of black tea that he had brewed, he asked in a calm tone.
"Thank you Kudo Criminal!" Takagi, who had already been dry for a day, was not polite, and after saying thank you, he picked up the teacup and drank the black tea, sighing with a comfortable face.
After his condition was adjusted, Takagi, who knew that the situation was serious, immediately entered the work state and put the information he had collected on Yuichi's desk, "Kudo Criminal, according to your guess, I have investigated in the pet store and pet hospital near the Nerima Ward where the deceased Kenzo Hirota was, and this Mr. Hirota is indeed a guy who likes cats, so he often takes his four cats to the pet hospital to get vaccinated or to the pet store to clean the cats." And in a conversation with the owner of the pet shop, he also confirmed his speculation that he likes horse racing, and he named his four cats Hao, Kuai, Emperor, and Wang! For this reason, the owner of the pet shop once teased him! And he didn't care, but was proud! β
"Emperor Haokuai? What's that? Yukai, who has never looked at Marseille, couldn't help but ask after looking at the excited Takagi on the side.
"O Emperor Hao! I don't know! But the owner of the pet shop knew that it was the name of a horse in the Tokyo racecourse, which means ......"
Kenzo Hirota often goes to the Tokyo Racecourse to watch the races, and what he likes is a horse there called the Emperor of the Glory! Follow this line to see if anyone else who has been in contact with him has surfaced. Before Takagi finished reporting the matter, Yuichi, who also reacted, couldn't help but analyze it.
"Yes! I see! I'm going to look it up! Takagi, who also felt that he could make a difference in this clue, saluted Yuichi and turned around to go to the police again to investigate the situation, and at this moment, the Twilight Police Department appeared in the office of the third department of the search section with a person they were quite familiar with.
"Brother Kudo! Brother Takagi! We don't need to look for clues for the time being, but Brother Maori has brought us some new news. The deceased Kenzo Hirota had contact with the Maori brother before his death, and a woman who claimed to be Kenzo Hirota's daughter had gone to the Maori brother and asked him to find his father, who had been away from home for a month, and the woman who claimed to be the daughter of the deceased Kenzo Hirota was called Masami Hirota, and the Maori brother who accepted the commission of Masami Hirota found Kenzo Hirota at the Tokyo Racecourse according to the names of Kenzu Hirota's four cats through the clues she provided, and followed him to Kenzo Hirota's apartment in Nerima. Then I took Miss Masami Hirota to Nerima to have a scene where father and daughter recognize each other. From the description of the Maori brother, Masami Hirota often wears a pair of round glasses that are very similar to the one we found on the spot, what about the glasses? Show the Maori brother if it's this Miss Masami Hirota! β
Yuichi, who heard the introduction of the Twilight Police Department, gave Mori Kogoro a strange look, and then handed the glasses on his desk and disposable gloves to Mori Kogoro.
"That's right! I'm not sure if it's Miss Masami's, but it's the same type as the glasses that Miss Masami is wearing! Mr. Hirota was killed, and the only thing at the scene was Miss Masami's glasses, so she couldn't have been kidnapped by that tall man, right? No, I have to look it up! β
"Really? It seems that this Miss Masami Hirota is the next person we should pay attention to! MΔori detective, did Miss Masami, who entrusted you with finding her father, leave you her contact information? He didn't say anything to Maori Kogoro, who was worried about Masami Hirota, and after glancing at him who was bowing his head and pondering, Yuichi Kudo inquired quietly.
"Of course the contact number was left, but it's strange to say, today Xiaolan said to inquire about their situation, and when she pressed this phone number to call, it was an empty number!"
"Empty number? Now it's even more interesting! So when the two met at that time, did the Maori detective make any strange discoveries? β
"Strange finds? If I have to say, Mr. Hirota's expression when he saw Miss Masami was very strange, and it is indeed strange that he didn't pay attention at the time and think about it now! β
"What's this strange method?"
"How so? It wasn't the excitement when father and daughter recognized each other, and the expression on Mr. Hirota's face at the time was more like shock! Hey? Yes, why the shock? β
Regardless of the Mori Kogoro who was once again contemplative because of this discovery, after glancing at the Twilight Police Department, Yuichi faced Wataru Takagi on the side and assigned the task again, "Takagi Criminal! You go and check out this Masami Hirota! I want to know everything about her! β
"Yes!"
