Chapter 234: Wife Swap and Murder (2-in-1)
The corpse had been scorched by the flames of the explosion, and the foul smell hit his nose, causing Fujino to feel a wave of psychological discomfort.
It's the first time he's seen this kind of rice flower souvenir that is as stimulating as his sense of smell and sight.
"Brother Fujino, how's it going?"
Mori Kogoro asked in a deep voice.
Fujino turned his head and gave Mori Kogoro a calm little look.
The Maori Little Five understood the implications.
Then he beckoned to the alarm tool man who was beside Xiaohui: "Xiaolan, go and call the police!" β
"Kuanmei!"
Xiao Hui, who was supported by Xiao Lan, suddenly shouted, and then collapsed in Xiao Lan's arms.
"Brother Maori, you take Miss Xiaohui to the hospital first."
Fujino confessed and took out the phone from his pocket: "Leave it to me here." β
"Please, Brother Fujino."
Mori Kogoro nodded heavily, and then rushed to the hospital with Koran Conan and the others in a Ford Taurus.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
A certain bank of rice flowers.
Twilight Thirteen's phone rang as she was working on the case.
took out his mobile phone and saw the remarks of [Brother Fujino].
Twilight Thirteen: "......"
Could it be that this little brother has encountered some murder again, right?
Let's hope not......
He took a deep breath and pressed the answer button: "Brother Fujino, you should have taken the body armor...... Is there anything else to call me? β
Fujino's tone was flat: "Just now I sent my Maori brother over to visit the female student, but when I arrived at her door, I encountered a car explosion. β
"Dead?"
"Blow one up."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Twilight Thirteen's hand holding the phone paused, and it dawned on her.
He said that how could Brother Fujino encounter a murder case for no reason......
It turned out to be because of that guy.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Hang up.
Fujino turned on his Eagle Vision and began to look at the scene of the crime.
In the world of Eagle Vision.
There are three different footprints around the parking garage.
Two women's small footprints, and a man's big footprint.
Fujino glanced down at the big footprints wandering around the car, and the man in sunglasses standing in the way came to mind.
Turning, he turned his gaze back to the car, which had been burned to the point that only the frame remained.
Keep your eyes on the large hole under the cab that has been blown through.
"Is it under the chassis?"
Fujino sniffed the foul smell around him, lowered his head and muttered, "It's the same, if it's placed in the car, as long as the person is not blind, it should be able to find out." β
Just as he was thinking, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears: "A new detective career mission has been detected, please pay attention to check!" β
"Are you coming?"
Fujino was not surprised by the release of the system's tasks.
As soon as my mind moved, the task interface of the system was opened:
[Detective Career Mission: Car Explosion Case.]
Objectives:
One of the goals: to solve the car bombing case
The second goal: to find the real culprit of the car bombing
Rewards:
Goal 1: 500,000 yen, 100 Detective Reputation, 1 All-Class Credit
Target 2: 500,000 yenγ
"Two goals?"
Fujino stared at the system interface and was surprised.
Immediately, his brows furrowed slightly: "It seems that this case is a double case." β
Systematic tasks, sometimes can also provide Fujino with some case references.
This time, the system gave two separate goals.
The murderer is one target, and this car blasting case is another.
"If it's two cases......"
After a pause, Fujino looked up and glanced at the window on the roof of the garage.
A row of women's footprints is prominently displayed.
Looking at the row of footprints, Fujino's mind gradually cleared, and he gradually understood the two goals of the system's release.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Soon, the police arrived at the scene and began an investigation into the explosion.
"The deceased's name is Kanmi Tanaka, who is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old...... The cause of death was a bomb. β
Miwako Sato took the officer's notes and explained the clues investigated: "The type of bomb is not determined for the time being, and it is an explosive device that uses a tire that turns to link the bomb. β
"By the way, Officer Sato, I already have some clues about the murderer."
Fujino recalled the man from before, "Just as I was coming, I met a red car with a license plate number of Shinjuku 230Β·?Β·13-1, a man wearing sunglasses. β
"Shinjuku 230."
Miwako Sato thought for a moment when she heard this, as if she remembered something, and asked hurriedly towards Fujino, "Is that man a square chin?" β
"That's right."
Fujino nodded, feeling a little puzzled: "Officer Sato knows him?" β
"One of the night road cases I'm working on has something to do with him."
Miwako Sato thought for a moment, "His name is Hiromasa Takahashi, he is thirty-three years old, and he is now working in a chemical factory. β
"A few days ago, his wife went to the convenience store at night to buy something, but on the way home, she was stabbed in the abdomen by the gangsters, and finally died of excessive bleeding."
"At that time, we investigated from the direction of the night road murderer and found that he had taken out a huge amount of accidental death insurance before his wife's death, and he himself had a large amount of arrears outside."
"If that's the case, then there's a good chance he killed his wife."
Fujino lowered his head and thought, "Using his deceased wife to defraud a high amount of insurance money or something." β
"That's what we thought at the time."
Miwako Sato agreed with Fujino's statement, but paused and denied: "It's a pity that at the time of the crime, he had a sufficient alibi, and we can't be sure that he is the murderer at all." β
Hearing this, Fujino fell into deep thought.
If you work for a chemical company, it shouldn't be difficult to get a chemical bomb.
It should be the same guy I saw just now, but why did he come over to kill Xiaohui today......
Thinking about it, a bold guess came to mind.
Raising his head, he said in a deep voice to Miwako Sato, "Swap wives." β
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Fujino felt a strange gaze scan over him.
When I looked up, I saw Miwako Sato staring at her with a strange face.
Fujino: "......"
"I mean killing people and swapping wives."
Fujino took a deep breath, "It's the husbands of both sides who killed their wives in exchange for a high amount of insurance money." β
Miwako Sato breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, I thought it was ......"
"Why?"
Fujino looked at Miwako Sato in surprise.
"Nothing."
Miwako Sato coughed lightly and kept her face, "In short, according to Fujino's reasoning, this case can be investigated in the direction of wife swapping for the time being." β
"Hmmm......"
Fujino groaned and nodded.
"Tick Bell!"
Suddenly, Fujino's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the phone.
When he pulled out his phone, the screen showed Kogoro Mori's notes.
Fujino answered the phone and heard Uncle Maori say, "Brother Fujino, Xiaohui has woken up, how is your investigation going?" β
"There's some progress here."
Fujino paused, and looked up at Miwako Sato: "I'll go to the hospital with Officer Sato in a while, you ask Miss Megumi to prepare." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After that, Miwako Sato took Fujino back to the Metropolitan Police Department to get some materials, and then went straight to Rice Flower Central Hospital.
Fujino pushed open the door of the hospital room and saw Megumi Koi lying on the hospital bed at a glance.
At this time, she wore long brown hair, a bandage on her head, a slightly mature face with visible vicissitudes of life, and a dull gaze looking out the window.
Fujino stared at Megumi, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what to think about in his heart.
After that, Miwako Sato began to routinely question her.
From the inquiry, I learned that Xiaohui's full name is Megumi Sakihara, and the person who was killed in the bombing today was her sister Kanmi Tanaka.
And the scene of today's bombing is her mother's home, she herself lives in Seishitama City, and her sister, who doesn't have a serious job, lives there temporarily.
Miwako Sato recorded all of the above.
After a pause, he asked again, "May I ask if the car that exploded is your sister's car?" β
"Not ......"
Megumi Sakihara shook her head, "That car is my car. β
"Your car?"
Miwako Sato was stunned when she heard this.
"That's right, that car is mine, and it just came from the city of Seishtama this morning."
Megumi Sakihara continued, "My sister's car was sent for repairs, so I was parked in her garage because I didn't know how to reverse, so my sister ......."
Speaking of this, her words were slightly crying: "She said to ask her to help reverse the car......"
Miwako Sato nodded slightly, lost in thought.
If that's the case, then it's really the same as Fujino said.
Wife Swap ...... Kill someone or something.
Retracting her thoughts, she asked, "Then when did you leave your home in Seitama?" β
"It's about eleven o'clock this morning."
"When did you arrive at your mother's house?"
"About thirty minutes later, at 11:30......
"The time of the explosion is twelve o'clock today."
Uncle Maori suddenly answered: "In other words, the murderer planted the bomb in these thirty minutes. β
"I see."
Miwako Sato lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Do you have any impression of the red car and the man wearing sunglasses?" β
"Red car?"
At this time, Megumi Sakihara suddenly spoke: "Not long after the explosion, a red car suddenly reversed and rushed towards me, thanks to my dodge in time, I was not hit." β
"Is that the man?"
Miwako Sato's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she took out a photo and showed it to Megumi Sakihara.
"That's him!"
Megumi Sakihara crossed her hands around her chest, terrified.
"It's the one who stood in our way!"
Mori Kogoro glanced at the photo and was a little puzzled, "But who is he?" β
"This guy is the husband of the victim in another case."
Miwako Sato paused and glanced at Megumi Sakihara and didn't continue.
Then he called the rest of the people out and explained the reason for the incident.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"What did you say?!"
Maori Kogoro amplified his voice: "Megumi she was actually ......"
"Dad!"
Xiaolan covered Maori Kogoro's mouth and whispered, "Don't let Miss Xiaohui hear ......"
"That guy is really hateful!"
Mori Kogoro gritted his teeth in anger and clenched his fists.
"Well, may I ask which room my wife Megumi Sakihara is in, and how is he doing now?"
At this moment, a man's voice came.
A few people turned their heads to look, and they saw an honest-looking man in a gray suit asking in this direction.
Everyone: "............"
As soon as I finished speaking, the main lord came, right?
"Are you Mr. Sakihara?"
Miwako Sato, with a gloomy face, was the first to speak.
"I am, may I ask ......"
Sensing the gloomy atmosphere, it was clear that something was wrong.
But before he could finish speaking, Miwako Sato walked towards him: "Mr. Sakihara, you are now suspected of murder, please go back with us for investigation." β
"Murder?!"
The man was obviously stunned, and his face gradually turned cold.
Without waiting for everyone to come to their senses, they turned around and ran away.
Miwako Sato was about to chase after her, but she was left behind by a figure.
It's Uncle Maori!
Uncle Maori grabbed him by the collar.
Uncle Maori came up with a nice over-the-shoulder throw.
Uncle Maori began to frantically output into the man's face.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Two hours later, Hiromasa Takahashi and Kazuo Sakihara were arrested and interrogated by the police.
The police officers, who had been interrogating for many years, quickly interrogated the two of them about the crimes they had committed.
The two pleaded guilty to the crime of wife-swapping homicide.
As for the motive for the killing......
Hiromasa Takahashi owes a huge amount of money.
Kazuo Sakihara is because he has a leg with his sister-in-law.
Megumi Sakihara received her parents' inheritance half a year ago because of her status as the eldest daughter.
In order to help his sister-in-law open a clothing store, Kazuo Sakihara was with him by the way, so he planned to kill his wife and cheat the insurance and obtain a large inheritance.
The two hit it off, and they hatched the matter of wife swapping and murder.
"Fujino-kun, you're right."
Miwako Sato slapped a stack of papers on her desk, "Just a few weeks ago, Megumi Sakihara was indeed insured with a high amount of insurance, and the policyholder was his husband Kazuo Sakihara. β
"In that case, it is obvious that Kazuo Sakihara and Hiromasa Takahashi conspired to swap wives and kill people."
Fujino sat on the chair next to the desk and picked up a cup of tea, "Officer Sato, the criminal in the case you investigated before should be Kazuo Sakihara, and this time Takahashi Hiromasa will come over to plant the bomb, and it should be to kill Megumi Sakihara." β
"Takahashi Hongchang originally wanted to kill Xiaohui, but he didn't expect Kanmi to drive."
Mori Kogoro's face was gloomy, "If that's the case, Kanmi was killed by an accident......"
"That's how it should be."
Fujino nodded, didn't say much, just silently took a sip of tea.
"These people are really too good."
Xiaolan lowered her head, a little sad: "Miss Xiaohui is so pitiful......"
'It's really just that simple?' β
Conan frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the result.
He always felt that something was wrong.
But I can't say it.
He looked up at Fujino, and when he saw that Fujino didn't react, he suddenly felt a headache.
Yes...... Brains are about to grow!
