Chapter Forty-Nine: In Search of Hatred

Taking advantage of the fact that Zemu Ye went to pour water, several people began to look at the living room. The TV was next to the couch, but there was no VCR in sight.

Kogoro's brow furrowed tightly, and then he looked elsewhere. He carefully recalled everything that Ayumi remembered last night that Conan said when he came.

First Conan Ayumi went to the clinic together, and then Dr. Ye Zi said that she came to send Ayumi back, so he asked Conan to go home first.

Then Ayumi felt a little sleepy after the tooth extraction, so Dr. Ye Zi suggested that she sleep first, and it was a little past seven o'clock at that time.

And Ayumi wanted to see the Kamen Superman that was broadcast at half past seven, so Dr. Ye woke up Ayumi at half past seven.

Just as the animation was playing, Dr. Ye gave Ayumi some medicine, and then she fell asleep again, and it was almost eight o'clock when she woke up again, so Dr. Ye sent her home, as Ayumi's family can attest.

The more Kogoro thought about it, the more strange it became, not only Ayumi's weird two drowsiness, but also why Dr. Ye didn't choose to send Ayumi home after the tooth extraction, the time was completely in time.

The reason why she did this was only to give up Bumei to make an alibi for her. Motive, the first discovery of the person, strange behavior, it is almost certain that she is the murderer of Katsuhiko Nakamoto.

And the only thing to consider now is her use of Ayumi to make an alibi.

The clinic is not far from Katsuhiko Nakamoto's house, but even if you drive, it takes half an hour to make a round trip, and if you add the time to commit the crime, it is not enough.

But if Ayumi wakes up halfway, it's not half past seven. But at that time, Ayumi did see the beginning animation of Kamen Superman, which should be right.

Then there is only one possibility, and that is that Ayumi was not here when she woke up at half past seven. She needs a place that serves as a transit point for her criminal backs and forth.

Kogoro's eyes looked around, and then he spotted the Kamen Superman playing cards on the coffee table. He picked up the playing card and opened it, and after searching for it for a while, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Kogoro then turned his gaze to Officer Twilight. "Officer Twilight, I remember you said that Dr. Sawaki Hako's house seems to be next door to Katsuhiko Nakamoto's house!"

"Ah, that's right, that's right! Any questions? Maori dude! Officer Twilight looked at Kogoro with a puzzled expression.

Kogoro then turned his gaze to Sawaki Haha, who was walking towards them with four glasses of water. "Doctor Ye, don't mind taking us to your house to have a look!"

Hearing Kogoro's sudden question, Sawaki Hako was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded and agreed. Then the five of them made three cars and went to her house, which is next door to Katsuhiko Nakamoto's house.

When he walked into Sawaki Hako's house, Kogoro was happy, and everything was as he expected. As soon as a few people got to sit down on the sofa, Kogoro spoke.

"Doctor Ye, you have put a lot of thought into this plan!" Hearing Kogoro's words, Sawaki Hako's face changed, and then he showed a smile.

"What do you mean, Mr. Maori? I don't seem to understand! "Since you have the heart to let me crack it, then I'm embarrassed to say it."

"You've changed a lot of things here!" She tilted her head slightly, revealing a puzzled expression. "Because the big stuff isn't very convenient, you don't replace it."

"But it's also one of the supporting evidence of your crime." "Mr. Maori, are you going to start reasoning? I'm really looking forward to it! The smile on the corner of her mouth became a little brighter.

"You first decorate this place to look like the one in the clinic, and then you have Bami come to make an alibi for you. It's really for this that you deliberately persuaded Conan to go back at that time. ”

"First you gave Ayumi an anesthetic to make her want to sleep after the tooth extraction. After that, you brought her back here and showed her the opening cutscene of Kamen Superman. ”

Then you fed her sleeping pills and put her to sleep. Around half past seven, you killed Katsuhiko Nakamoto. After that, he took Ayumi back to the clinic, and when Ayumi woke up at eight o'clock, he sent her back to complete the crime. ”

"It's wonderful, but what about the evidence!? You say I killed Katsuhiko Nakamoto, but where is the evidence? "I'm afraid you don't know! Before pulling her teeth, Ayumi took a Heart Ace from the Kamen Superman playing card on your coffee table as a talisman. ”

Seeing Sawaki Hako's shocked expression, Kogoro continued. "That's right, when she woke up during that time, she put the ace of hearts back, and if I was not mistaken, the ace of hearts is now in this deck."

As he spoke, he took the deck of playing cards on the coffee table, opened it and looked at it one by one, and then he stood out two red heart aces from it, making Sawaki Leaf silent for a while.

"I can't hide it from you, Mr. Maori! I just can't stand that guy going on! "So you remember him?"

"That's right! Twenty-six years ago, I saw him take my brother to the car, but because I was only seven years old at the time, my confession had no legal effect at all. ”

"I couldn't bear to see him come out of prison not long after, I wanted to avenge my brother, so after meeting him again not long ago, I started planning this operation."

"I see!" Several people present couldn't help but feel embarrassed. A little girl, living with hatred and pain, watching the murderer live freely like this.

That kind of mood is not something that ordinary people can experience. At this time, Sawaki Ye was lonely for a while, with sadness and a little happiness in her eyes, and then she looked at Kogoro.

"If only there was a detective like you at the time!" Listening to her sigh, Kogoro felt uncomfortable for a while.

The existence of the law is both reasonable and necessary, it brings fairness and protection to the public, but sometimes it can also be an effective umbrella for prisoners.

This is the end of the investigation of the case, but there is still some time left for the trial and conviction of Sawaki Hako. After returning to Kogoro, he let his subordinates take action.

First investigate all the bad signs of Katsuhiko Nakamoto over the years, as well as various criminal evidence, and increase his. Then let a few, lawyers who specialize in criminal cases fight for leniency for Sawaki Hako.

In the end, he used his enormous influence to get the judges and jurors in the case to make biased verdicts.
