Maybe the person who took the photo didn't pay attention at all, and the original intention was to find new clues in the limited clues, but he still noticed some clues that were not easy to find in the photo-

This is clearly a selfie of the deceased, holding a camera in front of him, taking the photograph taken at himself.

Directly behind this photograph, Gao Yuan saw a seaside cliff higher than where the woman was standing, and outside the cliff, there seemed to be a black spot.

After magnifying the black dot as much as possible, the picture—

It seems to be a figure falling downward!

- "This ......"

Looking at the magnified photo of Gao Yuan, the Henggou Sango on the side also noticed this detail in the photo, and said with some surprise:

"Did someone fall overboard?" 、

Looking at the scene taken in the photo, I realized that it was supposed to be a high seaside cliff.

In this way, if the scene in the photo is really someone falling off a cliff, then it is natural that he could only have fallen into the sea.

"When can you see this in the photo?"

Somewhat surprised, Yokogou Sango hurriedly asked.

"It's easy."

Gao Yuan replied affirmatively, and then he was very skillful and called up the details of this digital photo, which contained the specific time when the photo was taken-

"This is, yesterday...... Taken the night before. ”

glanced at the time displayed on the computer, it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning, so Gao Yuan said the time point the day before yesterday, that is, the day before he and the others came to Yin Dou.

Subsequently, Gao Yuan also checked other photos in the same way, and found that these photos that were copied into the computer from an external device at the same time were taken at the time period of the night before, from which it can be judged that the photo that was suspected of being taken of someone falling off a cliff and falling into the sea should also be taken at that time.

Since some of the photos clearly show the scene of the fireworks display, by analogy, the location of that photo should also be taken at the fireworks display, but—

"The day before yesterday, there was also a fireworks festival here? Why does this look different from today's fireworks display? ”

Frowning slightly, since Gao Yuan was Yin Dou who came yesterday, he could only ask the local people about the day before yesterday.

In this regard, listening to Gao Yuan's inquiry and looking at the clues that appeared in front of him, Henggou couldn't help but say:

"Yes, there was a fireworks display the night before yesterday at a distance from here, but it wasn't as big as the one that just ended."

"yes......"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan nodded slightly, and then said:

"I'm not sure if this photo has anything to do with the murder of Miss Orimoto, but if someone fell into the sea at the fireworks display the night before, I'm afraid the police will have to track it down...... What's more, these photos are supposed to be copied from a digital camera into a computer, but now this camera can't find ......"

Saying this, Gao Yuan thoughtfully continued to pull out the suspicious photo, and after zooming in on the picture, he shifted the focus to the top of the cliff-

Although the picture is very similar to the lake, if you look as hard as you can, you always feel that there seems to be a figure on the edge of the cliff.

"Hey...... It's not going to be ......"

Similarly, after perceiving Takato's intention to do this, Yokozo Sango also seemed to feel that from the photo, there seemed to be a figure in the position on the cliff, but because the pixels really couldn't be restored, so he couldn't make an accurate judgment.

"I'm not sure, it's just a few pixels, I'm not sure what it is......"

Gao Yuan frowned and said:

"But if there really is someone in that position, then this figure that fell into the sea is probably ......"

"I was pushed into the sea!"

The eyebrows were furrowed very deeply, and Henggou Sanwu only felt more and more headaches-

The fall of the Eono in Gangwon is at an impasse, and the identity of the female deceased in the fireworks display has just been confirmed, but it seems that another incident occurred the day before yesterday, which is really ......

"Contact the police station near the fireworks display venue the day before yesterday to see if you have received any reports that someone has fallen into the sea since the night before yesterday!"

In desperation, Henggou Sango could only let his police officers try to investigate first, and see if there would be any relevant eucalyptus reports-

Of course, if someone really fell into the sea and died, I am afraid that it is more likely that the body was swept away by the sea and will never be found again......

However, before the police officers who were ordered to start contacting, Yokozo Sango received a call from the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters-

"What! A male body was found on the beach...... According to the fingerprint comparison of the corpse, the identity of the deceased was confirmed by a police officer! ”

Install the latest version. 】

After receiving this phone call, Yokogou Sango's face changed in surprise, and then he looked at the suspicious photo that Gao Yuan flipped out on the computer-

"Just now, the nearby police station reported an incident to the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters. About an hour ago, a fisherman who had gone out to sea to fish reported that the body of an unnamed adult male had been recovered from the sea. ”

Putting down the phone, Henggou Shenwu said to Gao Yuan with a serious face:

"After receiving the report, the local police station conducted a preliminary examination of the body, and basically determined that the deceased had drowned, and the time of death was about a day. After that, the police extracted the fingerprints of the corpse and entered them into the database for comparison, wanting to see if they could confirm the identity of the nameless male corpse. So, the local police department reported the matter to the police headquarters, and I just got the news from the headquarters. ”

Saying this, looking at the photo, the people present were almost able to connect the two things completely-

Floating corpses at sea, drowning deaths, and death time is about a day......

This information can be corresponded to this photo, and it is no coincidence that no matter how you look at it.

And more importantly, the identity of the deceased......

Registered police ......

"Which police station is it?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, feeling a little strange-

If the local policeman drowned in the sea, then in any case, the policeman who belonged to the same area should be more or less recognizable, and there is no reason to say that it is an "unknown male corpse".

That's why Gao Yuan asked.

And Yokozo Sango also immediately replied:

"It's a criminal police officer from Chiba Prefecture. It looks like it could be a tourist. However, so far, we have not confirmed with the local government. ”

"Chiba Prefecture?"

Hearing the name of this place, Gao Yuan was slightly stunned-

Chiba Prefecture, located on the northeast shore of Tokyo Bay, is an important city in the Tokyo metropolitan area, but it seems that there are very few incidents about that area in Conan's original work, so Takato can't remember who is in charge of Chiba Prefecture.

But if you have to say it, when it comes to the Chiba Prefectural Police, I have the impression that there seems to be such a person in an incident-

Moreover, this incident is the original "Summer Danger Story of the Garden"!

In the incident in the original work, there was a middle-aged man in civilian clothes who followed Conan and others, and this man was also mistaken by Xiaolan for a suspicious person who attacked the garden in the hotel because of the long hair on his arm.

But later, after Xiaolan and Conan managed to subdue the man who was stalking, Conan learned from the man that the other party's identity was a criminal police officer from Chiba Prefecture, and the purpose of his tracking Xiaolan and others was actually to suspect that the man who accosted the garden was the murderer who continuously killed women with brown hair!

Yin Dou, the female deceased with brown hair, and the Chiba Prefecture Criminal Police......

Is it really a coincidence that there are more and more elements?

Frowning slightly, Gao Yuan's expression became very solemn, and he said to Yokozo Sango:

"Can you immediately contact the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters and ask them if they know why this policeman who drowned in Yin Dou came to Yin Dou at such a time?"

In this regard, Yokozo Sango also nodded silently with a serious expression, knowing the seriousness of the matter, so Yokozo Sango immediately contacted the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters, hoping that Ma could contact the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Soon, Yokozo received a reply and got a phone call from the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Although it was early in the morning, the call to Chiba Prefecture was answered immediately.

After briefly explaining the situation, Yokozo Sango quickly asked what Gao Yuan wanted to ask him just now, and he also got an answer-

The policeman is Yin Dou, who came to track down the suspect in a certain incident-

"Since a few years ago, three women in Chiba Prefecture have been brutally killed by multiple piercing of the abdomen with sharp objects, and without exception, all three female victims have brown hair. In the course of the investigation, we noticed a suspect who may have committed the three homicides, and during the investigation of him, it was discovered that he had also committed the crime of stealing a car.

"However, after our careful investigation, although the car theft incident has been revealed, we have never found any evidence that the person committed the murder, so we can only temporarily arrest him for car theft.

But this did not hold him for long, and after his release from prison, he left Chiba Prefecture and disappeared.

"And recently, because I heard that there was a similar incident of a woman with brown hair being killed here on Yin Dou's side, and the eucalyptus incident was after the person was released from prison, so the police officer thought of coming here to investigate, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen......"

Yokozo Sango turned on the speakerphone of the phone, so that Takato also heard the reply of the police officer in Chiba Prefecture to the inquiry just now.

Hearing this familiar incident, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask:

"So, what's the name of the suspect you locked up at the time!"

Hearing this, the police officer on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then said as if thinking:

"I want to see it...... Oh, the name is called-Masahiko Michiwaki! ”

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, Henggou Shenwu, who was originally just a solemn face, suddenly shouted in surprise, he really didn't expect this name to appear here.

And Gao Yuan suddenly showed a look of understanding in this regard, and couldn't help but say:

"Is there a picture of that person? Is it convenient to pass it on? ”

"Absolutely. When we find the file of the original incident, we will immediately fax it to your police headquarters! ”

The officer over there replied earnestly.

So, the phone call was quickly hung up in the final polite conversation between Yokozo Sango and the other party-

At this point, Henggou Shenwu couldn't help but be surprised in the face of the clues that appeared at the moment, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and Gao Yuan immediately said:

"The policeman who drowned in the sea the day before yesterday, and the deceased who was killed at yesterday's fireworks display...... This is no coincidence! ”

"So, that Michiwaki Masahiko ......"

Yokogou Shenwu frowned, thinking about what to do.

"Because of the existence of this photo, although it is impossible to distinguish the physical characteristics of the person who fell into the sea from the photo, it at least shows a possibility-"

Gao Yuan continued:

Perhaps, because he realized that he was being followed by the police who had investigated him, in order to get rid of the other party, Michiwaki Masahiko chose to push the other party into the sea and drown, hoping to create the illusion of an accident.

But coincidentally, at the time of the murder, someone happened to be taking pictures of him, and the flash of the camera made him discover this. So worried that the photo would expose the process of his murder, Michiwaki Masahiko found the photographer, and then found a way to kill her and take away the items on the deceased's body, which led to this incident that happened at the fireworks festival -

And it just so happened that the photographer was also a woman with brown hair, so he used the same murderous methods he had always used to kill women with brown hair to commit this incident.

"After that, maybe he didn't find the camera on the deceased, so he used the key to enter the hotel room rented by the deceased, took the camera, and accidentally left the key at the scene, so the current situation was already settled."

In this way, Gao Yuan roughly analyzed the context of the matter.

And hearing this analysis, Henggou Shenwu nodded silently, feeling very reasonable-

After all, because of the existence of this suspicious photo, the two incidents were linked at once......

"Hey! Wait a minute! ”

But at this time, looking at the photo carefully, Yokozo seemed to realize something, and couldn't help asking:

"If you look at the angle from which this photo was taken, the deceased was some distance from the location of the cliff at that time. Since the photo can't take a clear picture of the cliff, then even so, the murderer was flashed by a flash when he committed the crime, so it is impossible for the murderer to see who took the photo, how can he find the deceased? ”

"Because of the camera!"

Seriously, Takato explained:

"At the fireworks display, there shouldn't be many people with cameras, right? Although it is not known why the deceased was carrying a camera at the time, there must have been few people who carried a camera at the fireworks display. Therefore, the murderer only needs to find the person with the camera at the time! ”

- Saying this, although Gao Yuan feels that there are still many omissions in the details of this analysis, at least, the incident is finally a little eyebrow-raising.

It's just that it's not clear whether the fall of Jiang Yuan Shinan will be related to the incident......
