MTL - How Real Wine Became the Light of the Metropolitan Police-Chapter 41 Eight hundred eight bridge murder case 2
Osaka Police Station, search for a lesson.
Xiaolan sat on the outside chair with a glass of water, the afternoon sun covering her body, gentle and gentle.
She was a little embarrassed at first, because Hattori invited Kogoro Mauri, but her father stayed in the hotel and slept. No matter how much she called, she couldn't be called. Xiaolan herself was embarrassed to stay in the search class.
Fortunately, there is He Ye next to her, chatting with her all the time, and the situation is much better. The two girls were not interested in solving the case, they sat together and chatted and laughed again, and unknowingly stopped the topic and looked into the search class blankly.
One is looking at tall and handsome boys, the other can only look at elementary school students.

"Officer Shinkai, we have already investigated all of Aihara Kiko's friends in Osaka. Anyone who has conditions to make an appointment with Aihara Kiko will have an alibi that night."
The Otaki Police Department pushed open the door and came in, bringing the latest investigation results.
"The so-called 'friend' invitation can be ruled out." Xin Haikong replied without raising his head, while continuing to bury his head in the previous victim's information.
On the whiteboard in front of him were photos of the four victims, with the location and time of the discovery of the bodies marked next to the photos.
"Ah! I understand, the so-called 'friend' invitation is an excuse at all." Hattori Heiji pointed to the photo of Aihara Noriko on the whiteboard, "The person who asked her out is the murderer!"
"Then why did Noriko Aihara cover up for the murderer?" Shinkai sky looked up at Hattori, and the other party was speechless.
In order to maintain the same height as the other three, Conan found a chair to stand. At this time, he was a little addicted to reasoning and complacent. He pushed his glasses and said meaningfully: "The accomplice concealing this matter may be very useful. question?"
After Heiji Hattori heard it, he first nodded his head in approval, and then he reacted with hindsight, the good guy Kudo doesn't want a vest anymore? With a big wave of his hand, he pulled the person towards him, and by the way, he woke up a detective who was addicted to reasoning games and forgot to pretend to be a primary school student.
Xin Haikong looked up at the whiteboard, his amber eyes slowly enlarged, and his thoughts slowly drifted away. Sometimes speaking can help thinking, and can also get other people's comments.
"Let's sort out the reasons for the accident of the four deceased."
"The first deceased, Yamato Tomoko, worked overtime until 10 p.m. on the day of the accident and disappeared after leaving the company. It should be easy for the murderer to attack her."
He picked up a pen and wrote the word "late home" next to Yamato Tomoko's photo.
"The second deceased, Sakutsu Hitomi, came to Osaka on a business trip, and it was also very late after work. It should have been an accident on the way back to the hotel."
"It's still late." Hattori picked up the pen to help Xin Kaikong write the word.
"The third deceased, Yuna, went out late at night in a hotel during a trip to Osaka. The reason is unknown?" Shinkai looked at the Otaki police department.
The Otaki Police Department hurriedly stepped forward and added, "The reason is unknown because Touna came to Osaka alone for tourism. She was witnessed by the waiter when she left the hotel, but no one knew the specific reason."
"It looks very similar to the way Aihara Noriko went out, but she also ran out suddenly." Hattori Heiji rubbed his chin.
"Indeed, let's just think she was invited out."
Xin Haikong picked up the pen, the black signature pen hesitated for a while on the whiteboard, dropped it, and wrote "About" next to Yuuna's photo on the side, and then wrote "About" next to Aihara Noriko's photo.
"The fourth deceased, Aihara Noriko, was asked out by the 'friend' in name, but the actual murderer."
Something seems not quite right! Conan frowned.
"Wait, that's not quite right." Amuro Toru said what Conan wanted to say in advance, and was more acutely aware of the problem than Conan. "Except for the last two deceased people who should have been asked by the murderer, the reason for the accident of the first two deceased people was because they returned late. Isn't this a very accidental factor?"
"Indeed, working overtime until late at night is a common reason, but it is still possible that it will not happen. Maybe there is no need to work overtime tonight?" Hattori raised his brows and questioned.
Xin Haikong shook his head. "Don't forget, each of these four cases is separated by a full seven days. I prefer that the murderer has his own time line. He must kill on that day. If he can't change his usual habits, such as working overtime and returning late If you do something like that, then just ask someone out."
"Like, the last two dead?"
Xin Haikong nodded.
"If there is an accident, push the boat with the current, and if there is no accident, make things inevitable."
"So the murderer has something in his hands that can definitely date the four dead! And what exactly this thing is is the key to solving the case."
Xin Haikong found a key breakthrough, and his eyes lit up with excitement.
"But we still haven't found the connection between the four deceased?" Amuro Toru stood opposite and poured a bowl of cold water.
"Who said no?" Xin Haikong was not convinced at all, and did not abandon the script he held in his hand that was hostile to Toru Amuro, showing a confident smile. "Art and Kaifang Academy, aren't they the biggest similarity?"
"You mean..."
Xin Haikong drew a circle on Aihara Noriko's surname Aihara and wrote "Gaifang Academy" next to it.
"We haven't been able to find out the connection between the four deceased people. Is there a possibility that the deceased person erased the connection? And don't forget, the four deceased people happened to be all twenty-six years old. "
"Under what kind of relationship, there are most likely four people, such a coincidental same age."
The young policeman closed his pen, his amber eyes gleaming in the afternoon sun.
"Oh oh oh! I see!" Hattori folded his palms together and stood up excitedly, "Aihara Noriko can erase the record that he attended Kaifang Academy, and so can others! I'll go back to school to investigate now!"
After all, he was extremely excited and wanted to rush out immediately.
"Hey! Wait a minute," Xin Haikong pulled Hattori Heiji, "Do you know how to check?"
"Just, investigate the files of previous students?"
Xin Haikong sighed and smiled helplessly.
"Your teacher Aihara has been in that school for decades, and the files and so on should have been cleaned up long ago."
Hattori's momentum was suppressed, "Then what should we do?"
"Try to look at student competitions, portfolios and other things. In most cases, such things are run by students themselves. Students participate more, teachers know less, and there should be less involvement. Maybe will be a slippery fish.”
"I see!" Hattori said, and he was about to pull Conan along with him, but Conan's facial features were still wrinkled, and he insisted on standing in place, unable to pull it.
He looked up at the whiteboard with a puzzled look on his face.
"Traveling? Why did you just come to Osaka?"
?
They looked up at the whiteboard again.
The first deceased was in Osaka; the second deceased came on a business trip, which was a coincidence arranged by the company to force her to come; the fourth deceased would regularly come back to visit relatives at this time of year every year.
The three deceased appear in Osaka for a reason.
The only problem was the third deceased, who was here on a tour.
Generally speaking, for such a thing as tourism, you can go anywhere and at any time, so it just happened to hit the muzzle of the murderer, which is too coincidental.
Accidental nature is the best, and there is no chance to force an accident.
The four people reacted almost at the same time, and their voices overlapped.
"Travel agency!"
·
Shanrun Travel Agency.
The company has branches all over Japan and is truly one of the best when it comes to domestic travel.
Xin Haikong only brought two police officers, Murakami and Tachibana, to collect evidence.
Hattori was supposed to bring Conan, along with Yuan Shan and Ye and Maori Lan; and Amuro Toru, under the cold eyes of Xin Haikong, reluctantly kept up with the former team.
This also led to the fact that in addition to an overly lively and enthusiastic female police officer Tachibana, there was only one Masaki Murakami.
As for whether this arrangement was intentional by Xin Haikong, it is hard to say.
There was a large group of people around the front desk. The end of the year is considered a peak tourist season, and there are many people running around.
Xin Haikong was wearing the same set of casual clothes when he just got off the train. He mingled in the crowd. Apart from being a little out of the crowd because of his height and temperament, he didn't seem to be out of line.
"Officer Shinkai, I still don't understand why we came to the travel agency. Could it be that the murderer was from the travel agency? He used his position to deceive Yuuna to come to Osaka?"
Officer Tachibana is not only enthusiastic, but also enthusiastic when handling the case. He has been chasing Xin Haikong along the way to reinterpret the details of the reasoning at that time.
"The murderer may not necessarily be from a travel agency, but the fact that Yuna can come to Osaka must be inseparable from the travel agency."
"On the side, Yuna received a free travel coupon for a seven-day tour of Osaka from Shanrun Travel Agency."
"After confirming that this travel voucher is completely real, she made an appointment with Shanrun Travel Agency in advance according to the date limited by the travel voucher, and traveled to Osaka alone at the end of the year."
"This is too coincidental, too convenient for the murderer to commit the crime."
After speaking, Xin Haikong smiled, "If the murderer is really in this travel agency, of course it is the best situation."
Even when he's not there, we can catch the killer's pigtails.
"Also, Officer Tachibana, please button up the first button of your coat."
The young policeman's gaze fell thoughtfully on Officer Tachibana and Masaki Murakami.
When it gets cold, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is huge. Both officers wore police uniforms indoors and ran outside with a coat wrapped around them.
"Huh?" Officer Tachibana looked blank, but he obeyed obediently.
Xin Haikong turned around again, stretched out his hand and grabbed the collar of Murakami's coat, and folded them firmly together, making Murakami stagger forward with such a force.
The young policeman turned around, adjusted his clothes, took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from his backpack and brought them to his face.
"Don't look at me later, just wait outside quietly."
"Oh ah?"
