"When the fireworks started, Mr. Michiwaki and I were in a position where we couldn't see the whole picture, so Mr. Michiwaki suggested that we go around the woods to a good place to see the fireworks. But who knows, when we got into the woods, we heard the man's cry, and that's when we found out......"

Saying this, the garden thought back to what had just happened, and the emotion seemed very excited, and Michiwaki Masahiko also helped the garden and said:

"yes. If it hadn't been for the man who suddenly shouted in the woods, we wouldn't have noticed that there was a woman lying there at that time, which really scared us! ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but say in surprise:

"Was the man the body that was found first?"

"Pretty much."

Masahiko Michiwaki replied:

"According to the man, he also entered the woods with us, so in terms of time, we found the dead at about the same time as him."

"Hey!"

In this regard, Xiaolan was a little concerned, because she still remembered the behavior of Jiangyuan Shinan at the fireworks display, so Xiaolan said angrily:

"That's weird, isn't it? Why did he follow you to the woods? Perhaps, he was already in the woods, and even that woman was killed by him! ”

"Hey! That's right! ”

Hearing this, Yuan Zi couldn't help but feel very reasonable and said:

"If he had been in the woods long ago, then there was a chance that he had killed the young lady! Damn, what did that police officer do, I didn't suspect that guy just now, but I suspected that Mr. Michiwaki and Mr. Akechi were here! ”

A little angry, the garden complained so much, and at the same time looked at Gao Yuan with some resentment, and complained:

"And Mr. Akechi too, when you asked Mr. Michiwaki for an alibi just now, that attitude wouldn't be serious, right? Do you think that officer is telling the truth? Just because I like to look for women with brown hair, I think Mr. Michiwaki is suspicious? ”

"It's all right, Garden."

Hearing the tone of the garden's maintenance, Michiwaki Masahiko's face was faint, and he said calmly:

"I think I probably had some misunderstanding with this gentleman, and he must have said that because he was worried about your safety."

At the same time, Tie Zhuyu, who was beside Gao Yuan, couldn't help but explain to the garden for this:

"Miss Yuanzi, don't misunderstand Brother Wise. Because...... Before, Brother Wise really encountered a prisoner who specifically targeted girls with brown hair, so it is normal for Brother Wise to take care of such a case this time......"

"yes. Zhu Yu and I were both witnesses of the incident at that time, so it was inevitable just now...... The attitude towards this gentleman is a little worse. ”

Shiyin Kashiwagi also agreed, but even so, the eyes of the two looking at Masahiko Michiwaki were not friendly, but for the sake of the garden, they didn't say much.

"Hey! There really is such a thing! ”

Hearing this, Yuan, who was still emotionally stable, once again showed a panicked look, as if he was once again caught in the worry that he might be in danger.

In this regard, Masahiko Michiwaki stepped forward and comforted:

"It's okay, it's okay, didn't I say that? I'll always protect you these days in Izu. ”

So, under such persuasion, the mood of the garden eased a little, and then asked Tie Zhuyu:

"By the way, you said that you met a prisoner who specifically targeted the girl with brown hair, but what about later? How did it work out? ”

"It was Brother Wise who protected me!"

Seriously, Tie Zhuyu explained to the garden.

At the same time, following this topic, Masahiko Michiwaki just continued to say to the garden:

"You see, as long as there is someone to protect them, the prisoner has no chance. Don't worry, during this time in Izu, I will be responsible for your safety to the end! ”

"Hmm."

Feeling the sense of security transmitted from Masahiko Michiwaki, Sonoko's face was slightly red, and he nodded silently, waiting until his emotions finally calmed down.

In this regard, Xiaolan confirmed to Gao Yuan:

"So, Mr. Wise also thinks that the murderer is similar to the case you encountered before, and he specifically targeted women with brown hair, so he didn't suspect that man at that time?"

"Hmm...... It's not because of that person that he didn't have the time to commit the crime......"

In the face of such an inquiry, Gao Yuan also simply explained this-

After all, Tokio Ehara came to the fireworks festival with him and Akiko Sayama, and during this period, Takato also paid attention to Tokio Ehara's movements, although he had the opportunity to take the opportunity to do something to the women on the road at the fireworks festival, but he definitely didn't have time to kill a woman in the woods.

"He had been at the venue of the fireworks display for the period of time before Mr. Maeda caught him, and it was impossible for him to go to the woods to commit a crime. And after that, if he broke free from Mr. Maeda's grasp and immediately ran into the woods and killed the deceased, there would be no time to dispose of the murder weapon. Therefore, he did not have the time to commit the crime. ”

Gao Yuan explained.

"Oh, that's right......"

Xiaolan nodded silently.

"By the way, Brother Wise, you said that you met this kind of prisoner who specifically targeted women with brown hair before, so did you finally catch the prisoner?"

At this time, Conan, who was listening to everyone's story, suddenly asked curiously.

"Yes, I got it."

Nodding, Gao Yuan replied:

"The police had evidence of his crime and quickly caught him."

"That'...... Why would a prisoner like this target a woman with brown hair? ”

Conan continued to ask, seemingly a little concerned about the motives of such criminals, and wanted to see if he could find inspiration from related events.

"Hmmm......"

Listening to Conan's question, Takato roughly understood Conan's thoughts, so he explained:

"I don't know exactly what to do, after all, each prisoner has their own reasons. And the incident I encountered, because the prisoner had seen a girl with brown hair abroad a few years ago, and since then he has been fascinated by it, and he has been constantly attacking the girl with brown hair, trying to make up for his regret that he did not dare to go up to the girl to talk to him at that time......"

Hearing this, Xiao Ai, who had been silently holding Tie Zhuyu's hand and feeling very helpless, suddenly felt that Gao Yuan was talking about it, and subconsciously looked at him.

For this reason, Xiao Wai couldn't help blinking, feeling inexplicably puzzled-

"In other words, because of the regrets that happened before, you began to focus on the target of the murder?"

Muttered, Conan analyzed.

"What kind of person is this......

Listening to Gao Yuan's narration, the garden seemed to empathize, and said very angrily:

"It's obviously your own problem, but you want to vent your anger on other innocent people, this kind of person is really incomprehensible!"

"Alright."

In this regard, seeing that the garden was so excited, Michiwaki Masahiko couldn't help but comfort softly:

"Don't think about that anymore. And it's not getting early now, so why don't I send you back?" ”
