For some reason, Hisashi was a little strange and asked rhetorically:

"Does this have anything to do with my brother?"

"No, nothing, just a routine investigation."

Officer Twilight coughed lightly and replied simply—since that was the case, the possibility of the other party using the twin brother to make an alibi could be ruled out.

"So, let's move on to Miss Yukino."

Facing Kusuisuke, Officer Twilight continued to ask:

"When did you meet Miss Yukino, and as her lover, what do you know about her?"

In this regard, Jiu Kang thought about it:

"I met Yukino last year, when she came to my doll classroom...... It's been a long time, and we've been together......"

"Then did you notice anything unusual about Miss Yukino?"

Officer Twilight continued.

"Anomaly?"

Puzzled, Hisasuke looked at Officer Twilight, as if he wanted to see what he wanted to ask from his serious expression, and then Officer Twilight asked in detail:

"For example, have you noticed anything unusual about Miss Yukino's usual behavior? Like you're trying to avoid something, or hiding something? ”

But Hisasuke only thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and replied:

"No, right...... Besides, everyone has their own secrets, right? This is also a normal thing. ”

In this regard, Officer Twilight didn't know how to continue to ask him for a while, after all, with the existing evidence, the man in front of him had no time to commit the crime at all, and he could not be treated as a suspect.

And at this moment, Miwako Sato, who went out to investigate the true identity of "Izumo Yukino", ran back, and when she heard Officer Twilight's inquiry just now, she couldn't help Officer Twilight and asked:

"Mr. Kubo, does Miss Yukino have any other boyfriends you're dating?"

"Huh? Another boyfriend? ”

With a confused expression, Hisasuke muttered suspiciously, and finally shook his head.

"Sato, what did you find?"

Officer Twilight asked.

"Just now, I checked several unsolved crime reports through Miss Yukino's photos, and found that the photos of the suspects in these incidents look almost exactly the same as Miss Yukino."

Miwako Sato explains:

"The most recent case occurred a year ago, and the suspect used the name 'Mizutani Yukino', and all previous cases used that name. After conducting an investigation under the name Yukino Mizutani, it was found that she had been charged with marriage fraud, and the defendant had sent it several times. ”

"What did you say!"

Hearing Miwako Sato's narration, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"Liar...... Lie! Miss Yukino is actually involved in marriage fraud. ”

Xiaolan was surprised, covering her mouth with her hands, a little incredulous.

"So, if the 'Izumo Yukino' who died this time has his true identity as 'Mizutani Yukino'. Combined with her previous crimes, if Miss Yukino was dating another man at the same time in addition to Mr. Kubo, we can assume that there was some dispute between her and that man. ”

Miwako Sato seriously said a possibility.

"In this case, it is logical that Miss Yukino was killed in this daily rental apartment in Saitama Prefecture."

In response, Wataru Takagi nodded approvingly.

"The deceased himself was very beautiful, and he could indeed easily deceive men."

Officer Twilight also began to lean into Miwako Sato's assumption, and nodded earnestly.

"So if you say that, it's a love triangle?"

Yuanzi also felt that this possibility was very reasonable, but still strangely said:

"But why did Miss Yukino tell us the lie that 'I was violently abused by Mr. Kubo'?"

"It should be to cut off relations with Kubo and squeeze a huge breakup fee from him! Mr. Kubo is a well-known puppet maker and should be very rich. ”

As if he understood something, Wataru Takagi blurted out such an inference.

In this regard, Miwako Sato also nodded in agreement, and opened her mouth to analyze:

So she conveniently used Ran and Sonoko, as well as the wise brother, as her witnesses, to testify to the falsified fact that she had indeed been violently assaulted by Mr. Kubo. But because she had a dispute with another man at the same time, she couldn't stay in her apartment, so she came here to video chat with you, pretending that she was still in the apartment. But I didn't expect to be discovered by the man in the end, and a quarrel began. ”

"And ended up being killed here!"

Wataru Takagi said with a look of conviction.

"I see, so that there is a reasonable explanation for the facts of the case."

The more Officer Twilight thought about it, the more it made sense, and nodded earnestly in the affirmative.

"Unexpectedly...... Is that what happened? ”

Yuanzi fell into a stupor in a stunned mood, and it was not only she who was deeply hit, but Xiaolan was the same.

"Did we really let Miss Yukino deceive?"

Xiaolan showed a lonely expression and said.

"Looks like Yukino has caused you a lot of trouble, I'm really sorry."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Hisashi faced Xiaolan and Sonoko, as if bowing deeply from the heart, and apologized to the two of them instead of Yukino.

"Ahh It's okay, it's just us, we misunderstood you, teacher. ”

"I'm so sorry."

Xiaolan and Yuanzi were embarrassed to apologize to Jiu Kangsuke.

"It's okay."

Hisashi smiled gently, but his expression quickly fell lonely.

"Then let's start searching for this crucial third person immediately!"

Officer Twilight solemnly ordered:

"Takagi and Sato, you use the clue of Yukino Mizutani to carefully investigate her interpersonal relationship and interrogate in detail if there is any clue about the man!"

"Yes!"

The two nodded and walked out of the room, and Officer Twilight apologized to Hisashi and walked out of the scene, leaving only some of the officers to remain at the scene.

In response, Takato, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, and Hisashi also left the scene with Officer Twilight.

Along the way, Conan couldn't convince himself with this conjecture, and always felt that things were still a little strange, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't have a thought, just a feeling-

"The prisoner can only be Kubo!"

Conan thought so in his heart, but he could only hold his arms and think hard.

Gao Yuan, who was beside him, didn't seem to care about this incident at all, and seemed to acquiesce in the direction of the police's current investigation.

Conan tentatively asked Gao Yuan several times, but Gao Yuan only briefly prevaricated Conan, indicating that with the existing clues, there is no problem with the direction of the police's investigation.

In this regard, Conan had to think about it alone.

……

Time reversal, back to the night of the crime, in the Porsche 356A driving on the road in Saitama Prefecture -

"'Bourbon'?"

When the vodka who was driving heard Gin's words, he asked with some doubts:

"Didn't he go to find out the whereabouts of Shirley? How did you find out about this? ”

"Do you remember when 'Shirley' was tracked by us in Kyoto?"

Gin sneered and explained.

"Of course I do. Originally, it was a great opportunity, but I didn't expect the person we sent to be so wasteful that he couldn't even look at a woman! ”

Vodka said with some resentment.

"'Bourbon' followed this clue and discovered an interesting thing in Kyoto."

As he spoke, Gin took a puff of his cigarette, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more gloomy:

"Five years ago, when sending 'Shirley' back to China, someone at the airport took a look at 'Shirley' and became obsessed with 'Shirley' and began to attack girls who looked similar to 'Shirley'. And that painting came from the man's brother - that is, the target of that man's miss this time! ”

"Are we ...... then?"

"No, you don't."

Vodka was about to say something, but was interrupted by gin:

"It's just a picture, and it's just the back...... That person hadn't actually seen Shirley's face at all! ”

As he spoke, Gin's smile became more and more presumptuous, and at this moment, Gin's mobile phone rang-

"Hey, Camus......"
