Chapter 52: Friendship and Money

"I actually invested 500 million yuan in insurance! And it wasn't that long ago that this was too much of a coincidence! After hearing what Officer Twilight said, Kogoro was also surprised.

"Yes, no matter how you look at it, his death is a pity, and the beneficiary of that insurance is not some of his family, but a friend." "Friends?"

"It's Mr. Yutaka Abe!" As he spoke, Officer Twilight pointed to a middle-aged man who had just been brought in by the police.

He wore a pair of glasses, a dark green suit, and the smile on his face was undisguised. The first moment he saw him, Kogoro confirmed that the other party was the person who had entrusted him to follow Masaki Negishi.

"It's you!" Hearing Kogoro's cry of surprise, Officer Twilight suddenly looked at the two of them nervously. "What's the matter, Brother Maori, do you know him?" "He's the client you asked me about earlier."

"What!" Officer Twilight was also taken aback, judging from the current situation, this Abe Yutaka is very suspicious, let the detective follow him, he is the beneficiary of the deceased's insurance, and this attitude.

"Your Excellency Yutaka Abe, can you explain why you want to have someone follow Mr. Negishi and be the beneficiary of his huge insurance policy?" Officer Twilight stared at Yutaka Abe with a stern gaze.

But the other party was still calm and kept an indelible smile. "Actually, it's just a game." "Game!?" "Yes, actually, Negishi and I have been friends for more than 20 years since college."

"Some time ago, when we were drinking and chatting together. He suddenly said that we are all in our forties this year, and I am afraid that we don't have much time to live, or we will bet on who will die first? ”

When I heard what he said, I went on to ask him what he meant. He said that let's take each other as beneficiaries and take out an insurance policy, which is worth 500 million yuan. ”

"But not long after, he told me that someone was designing him, and that he would be killed soon. At first, I didn't believe it, and took what he said as a joke. ”

"But then I found out that his spirit was getting worse and worse, and he was always anxious, so I went to Detective Mori Kogoro to investigate, hoping to find out who he said."

"But I didn't expect that nothing was found during the investigation, and he was killed as soon as Negishi was over, which is really unfortunate! As his best friend, I hope you catch the killer sooner rather than later. ”

"If you find any clues, please let me know as soon as possible, and I hope to avenge him!" With that, he left with a smile on his face, leaving behind a few people with angry faces.

Although there is no evidence yet, and even some important clues have not been found, based on Abe's previous words and performances, there is a chance that he did this case.

"There's definitely something wrong with this guy!" Kogoro said solemnly, receiving a unanimous response from Officer Twilight and Conan. "Damn, listening to what he said before, it's just fearless!"

"This time, Brother Maori, you must find evidence and bring him to justice, please!" Officer Twilight clapped his hands on Kogoro's shoulders and said with a serious face.

"Well, no matter what, I can't let that guy go this time!" Kogoro also ignited a raging anger this time, and someone would provoke him like this.

Back in the office, Kogoro opened his information query system as soon as possible, and after entering Yutaka Abe, he learned all his basic information.

After checking them one by one, I also got a useful information, that is, the motive of Yutaka Abe's planning of this murder, a company he runs is on the verge of bankruptcy and urgently needs a large amount of money to save it.

After learning this, Kogoro was even more sure that he had done the case. The next step is to break down his alibi and incriminating evidence.

According to the man sent by Kogoro to follow up on Masaki Negishi, he followed him until 6 p.m. the night before the deceased's death, and Negishi's body was found at 8 p.m. the next day.

In other words, he was killed in these twenty-six hours. Yutaka Abe, on the other hand, had been staying at his company until 10 p.m. the night before, and had taken his staff on a trip to Toyosu after 7 a.m. the next morning.

On the way home the day before, he was photographed by surveillance at the entrance of the community where he lived, and then he left the next morning, so it was impossible for him to commit the crime, and sent Negishi's body to Gunma Prefecture.

The more I think about Kogoro, the more entangled he becomes, obviously he can roughly determine that the murderer is him, but the other party has some perfect alibi.

And because Negishi Masaki's body was burned by the fire, not only is it difficult to judge the time of death, but even any useful clues have not been left.

Just as he was thinking, a short message was sent to his mobile phone, and he took it out to see that it was from his subordinates, saying that Abe Yutaka had taken out the insurance money from Negishi Masaki.

Then he took out a large number of photos, all of which were taken when Abe Yutaka was on a trip, and Kogoro hoped to find some clues from them.

But the only thing I found was that almost every photo has a clock as a background, which completely connects the time he spent traveling in Toyosu.

"Such an alibi is too perfect! It's like it's deliberately built! Even Xiaolan on the side couldn't help but sigh when she saw it.

"Yes, all the possibilities point to this Abe Yutaka, but there is no way to crack his alibi." "By the way, Dad, isn't this Negishi Masaki burned beyond recognition? How did you confirm his identity? ”

Kogoro took a deep breath and calmed down his slightly excited mood. "That's because after the police arrived at the bonfire festival, they found his driver's license next to the fire, and judging from his tooth marks, he was not wrong."

"That's right!" "Heh, after the crime, he deliberately left the information of the deceased, and he is the only guy who urgently needs to prove that it is Negishi Masaki's death!"

While Kogoro and Koran were chatting, Conan suddenly looked through the photos excitedly. "Uncle, look at this!" He picked up two photos and displayed them in front of Kogoro and his wife.

"It is! Wrong! It's not the same person at all! Kogoro suddenly came to his senses, only to see that Masaki Negishi in both photos had concealed his face, revealing only a little.

It's not that he recognizes that the two photos aren't the same person, but that both of them are doing different things, but one of them is a left-hander.
