Chapter 9: The Strength of a Detective

To meet the requirements of the emotional fish and get rid of the obsession in the emotional fish, the unintentional person can become the master of the emotional fish.

Solving a case is indeed a very important thing.

In this regard, Mu Yuan is no different from a detective.

But if anyone thinks that Mu Yuan also enjoys the process of revealing the truth, as well as the praise of people after solving the difficult case......

Then he couldn't be more wrong.

There is no direction in the requirements of the emotional fish, no matter who completes it, it can get rid of the obsession.

So the case or something, as long as it can be solved.

As for who will break it, it doesn't matter at all.

Mu Yuan's goal is only that two-striped emotional fish.

At the same time as Kudo Shinichi spoke, Mu Yuan began to drill out of the crowd.

In the process, with the help of Kudo Shinichi's attraction, none of the criminal police officers gathered near the counter noticed Mu Yuan's movements.

This is not the first time that Mu Yuan has shown this kind of magical ability, as if he can perceive the attention range of others.

Kudo Shinichi wasn't surprised again, but there was obvious unhappiness on his face.

It's like a person who is ready to play the line with great ambition, but the opponent changes lanes.

But in any case, the investigation of the case must continue.

"Mr. Kurosawa, why do you think that Ms. Mayumi committed suicide?"

The identity of a detective is very useful in this world, and even if Shinichi Kudo is only a high school student, no detective will question why he can lead the questioning.

Kurosawa also naturally accepted Kudo Shinichi's inquiry and replied:

"Because, because...... Mayumi she, in fact, has had such an idea for a long time! ”

"What!?" Twilight Thirteen couldn't help but scream, but as an old detective, he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Kurosawa, do you have any evidence for saying that?" ”

"This ......" Kurosawa Koto took a deep breath, his gaze changed on Kudo Shinichi and Twilight Thirteen, and gritted his teeth: "Actually, Mayumi's husband, Makoto Uchida, owes a large amount of foreign debt......"

As Kurosawa tells the story, the tragic story of how a good girl who works as a pastry chef in a high-end restaurant is deceived by her uneducated bastard husband and is saddled with a huge loan shark gradually emerges in everyone's minds.

At the same time, like most similar stories, Mayumi Uchida has a goal that must be redeemed - her daughter, Sachiko Uchida.

In order to save her daughter from being a slave to her husband when she grows up to pay off her debts, Mayumi Uchida chose to end her own life and bought more than 500 million yen of personal accident insurance for herself before that.

The beneficiary of the insurance is none other than her seven-year-old daughter, Sachiko Uchida, who is in the second grade at Teitan Elementary School.

The reason why Mayumi Uchida came to work at Kotoko Kurosawa's coffee shop was just to have a seemingly secure job resume so that she could successfully qualify for insurance.

Kurosawa has no talent for storytelling, and his stories have no subtle foreshadowing, no gripping beats, just a simple running account.

But such a simple and straightforward statement made everyone present have to "fall into" it.

Because this story is eighty percent true, at least the debt and insurance are easy to verify, and must be real.

Could it be that Mayumi Uchida really died by suicide?

Just as the detectives were thinking about it, a bad boy-like smile appeared on Kudo Shinichi's face again.

Apparently, the detective must have discovered something.

But what he didn't notice was that Mu Yuan, who had hid behind the counter at some point, just shook his head at him.

"Mayumi Uchida did not die by suicide!"

Kudo Shinichi's voice was sincere and determined, and once again attracted people's attention.

He stretched out his index finger, stuck one hand in his pocket, pointed at the coffee shop owner in the most handsome posture, and continued:

"She was killed, to be exact, on the other side of the world, you, Mr. Kurosawa."

"Ms. Mayumi Uchida, you killed me!"

The decisive accusation was like thunder, shocking the surrounding criminal police, and also made Kurosawa's face appear obviously panicked.

He was stunned for a while before he hurriedly said, "Don't, don't joke, I was thousands of miles away when Mayumi died, how could I lock her in cold storage......"

"Oh? So, Mr. Kurosawa also thinks that Ms. Mayumi was frozen to death? Kudo Shinichi interrupted Kurosawa.

"Of course!" Kurosawa Qin pointed to the police officer in the forensic department and said, "Didn't you police say it yourself, Mayumi was frozen to death!" ”

"Huh...... I would understand if someone else said that, but if you were a coffee shop owner......"

"Mr. Kurosawa, isn't that weird?"

As he spoke, Kudo Shinichi walked briskly to the door of the store's cold storage, and while taking a pair of shoe covers from the criminal police guarding outside the cold storage, he continued:

"In Tokyo, all stores with cold storage must pass a safety inspection at a ward public health center."

"Because the sound insulation effect of the cold storage is very good, and it is difficult to receive electromagnetic signals inside, the public health center gave two safety suggestions."

"One is to install a communication device in the cold storage that can communicate with the outside world."

"The other is to choose a safe structure door that is locked on the outside and opened on the inside."

"In order for a store to pass the inspection of the public health center, it must meet at least one of the requirements."

"And in this store, apparently there is no communication device in the first article, so ......"

Under the gaze of everyone, Kudo Shinichi took out a white handkerchief and slowly closed the door of the cold storage through the handkerchief.

With a "click", the cold storage door is automatically locked at the moment of closing.

But in the next second, it was pushed away from the inside.

"The cold storage in this coffee shop can be easily opened from the inside by a single person!"

As Kudo Shinichi's hand left the handle on the inside of the cold storage door, there was another slight "click" on the lock of the door.

Kudo Shinichi continued, "Mr. Kurosawa, as the owner of a coffee shop, it's impossible for you not to know this! ”

Vast knowledge, keen insight.

In just a few words, Kudo Shinichi showed all the basic qualities that a detective should have.

Even the detectives who were expecting Twilight Thirteen to win again couldn't help but nod for him secretly.

As the owner of a coffee shop, it is impossible for Kurosawa Koto not to know the structure of his store's cold storage, and how can this kind of cold storage, which can be easily opened from the inside, freeze people to death inside?

At this time, everyone has realized that there must be something wrong with Kurosawa!

Mayumi Uchida, there is a high probability that she was killed by this guy!

But if Mayumi Uchida wasn't frozen to death...... What was the cause of her death?

Kudo Shinichi was still thinking about it, and although he already had some eyebrows, he wasn't sure yet.

On the other side, Kurosawa was still stubbornly resisting.

"This, of course I know, but... As long as someone inserts the key into the lock hole and doesn't pull it out, the person in the cold storage can't twist the handle! Kurosawa said in a hurry.

"Boss Kurosawa, aren't you still giving up?" Kudo Shinichi looked at him contemptuously and said slowly: "Then can you please tell me, how many keys are there to the cold storage door, and who are they in?" ”

Kurosawa Qin hesitated for a moment and replied, "One, one is at my house, one is at the health center, and one is at Mayumi......"

Without waiting for Kurosawa to finish, Kudo Shinichi spoke again:

"Needless to say, the one in the health center, no one can get it without the boss or the police."

"The one in your apartment, we've taken it out of your house by contacting the people at the property."

"So the only one who can lock Ms. Mayumi in the cold storage is the one on herself, so ......"

Kudo Shinichi looked at the police officer holding the evidence bag on the side, and the police officer reported in understanding:

"Yes! The key to Ms. Asami's cold storage, we found it in the cold storage, Ms. Mayumi's handbag! ”

"So, so what!?" Kurosawa Koto hurriedly argued: "It is also possible that the murderer threw the key back into his handbag after freezing Mayumi to death!" ”

"And, and Mayumi is just a woman, if the murderer is a man...... No, even if the murderer is a woman, as long as she resists the door of the cold storage from the outside, Mayumi can't open it from the inside! ”

Surprisingly, Kurosawa's anxious quibbling made some sense, which made Twilight Thirteen and the surrounding detectives even though they knew that there was a problem, but they couldn't help but start looking for the figure in the robe.

However, before their eyes could focus on Mu Yuan, Kudo Shinichi had already begun to shake his fingers, and a smug tsk came out of his mouth.

"Tut-tut...... Boss Kurosawa, I already knew you would say that. ”

"But......"

Kudo Shinichi walked slowly to a police officer holding a Polaroid camera, and from the photo in his hand, he picked out a photo of the police officers carrying Mayumi Uchida's body, and continued:

"These justifications of yours will only increase your suspicion."

"Because, the ironclad proof that really proves that Ms. Mayumi is not frozen to death, it is herself!"

In the photo, Mayumi Uchida's body has been lifted by the police, but it still maintains the posture it was in when she was lying on the ground, without the slightest change, and it is as hard as a lifelike ice sculpture.
