Chapter 1699: Investigation of the Meizu Family

Saturday, April 22, afternoon.

Regarding Umezu Takashi, Mikami Toru, and Araki Chika who had doubts about them, Megure Police Department said: "You say you are not the murderer, then you have to have an alibi."

Mori said: "According to my judgment, Teacher Meijinxiu died between three and four in the afternoon."

The three of you look at me and I look at you, shaking their heads helplessly, indicating that there is no alibi.

Yamazaki said: "Mr. Mikami, didn't you say that you called Mr. Meijin Osamu? If it is a landline, then it can prove your location."

"I know that, but I'm using a mobile phone," Mikami said.

"Mobile phone? Then you can find the base station with a little effort." Yamazaki said, "Please tell me your mobile phone number."

"ah?"

Everyone noticed that Toru Mikami's hands were shaking a little.

Chika Araki screamed: "Toru Mikami, did you kill the teacher?"

Mikami yelled reflexively: "No, I don't, I really don't."

"Then please report your mobile phone number." Mao Li took Mikami Toru's mobile phone, and then called the mobile phone of the Megure Police Department.

Soon, the investigation results came out, Mikami Toru made two phone calls to Mei Jinxiu this afternoon.

The first call was answered and lasted nearly a minute.

No one answered the second call.

The time of the second call was within the time of Mei Jinxiu's death, and the location was near Mei Jinxiu's home.

Megure Police Department asked: "Mr. Mikami Toru, what is your explanation for this?"

Mao Li asked: "Mr. Mikami Toru, you said that after you called, you found no one answered, so you rushed over to check."

Mikami said: "Well, yes, when I was nearby, I wanted to call the teacher by the way, but I found no one answered, so I ran over."

"Oh, it's nearby," Megure Police Department asked, "So where was it then?"

Maori said, "Don't tell us, you can't remember where you were at that time."

"Yes, I don't remember clearly." Toru Mikami said, "I was wandering around, and it counts wherever I go."

Mao Li said angrily: "You are really leisurely."

Mikami Toru said, "I was thinking."

Conan reminded: "Hey, the assistant will also write a book, right?"

Araki Chika exclaimed in shock: "Ah, Mikami, you couldn't have written that book!"

"No, it's not." Mikami Toru vehemently denied it, but his guilty conscience was undoubtedly revealed.

"Oh, so that's the case, it's not enough for the old man to bully Araki all the time, even you are tired of bullying, you really deserve to be killed." Meizu Takashi laughed, "Thank you so much."

Mao Li said angrily: "You bastard, what is going on with you, he is your father after all!"

"So, the old man deserves it." Mei Jinlong sneered, "You can imagine how the old man treated these assistants, and you can imagine what happened to me before. If I didn't kill him, I was worthy of him."

Maori has nothing to say, because now it seems that there is indeed a problem with Mei Jinxiu's character.

The police department said to Mikami Toru: "Mr. Mikami Toru, don't be stubborn anymore. As a novelist, I think you must have a manuscript, and that is the best evidence."

Mikami clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and said, "Yes, I am the author of the novel "The Road to the Thirteenth Step", and Mr. Umetsu Osamu took it away."

Mori was overjoyed, "Very good, so you admitted to killing Mr. Umetsu Osamu"

"No, I don't admit it." Mikami Toru said, "You can't think that I am the murderer just based on this. Miss Araki Chika next to me, many of her works were taken away by the teacher. If she killed Teacher, I am not surprised at all.

"

Araki Chika was anxious, "No, I didn't."

"If Ms. Araki is not the murderer, then I think the teacher committed suicide," Mikami said, "The reason is that the jury has noticed that the novel "The Road to the Thirteenth Steps" was not written by the teacher. He was afraid that I would expose him and lose his reputation in the end, so he committed suicide."

Araki Chika hesitated, "This, this is not impossible."

Yamazaki asked: "You two, why is one of you willing to be a shadow writer and the other not? Is it a question of money?"

Chika Araki said with some shame: "Yes, I agreed to let the teacher publish my novel in his name because I was short of money, so that I could have a better income."

"It's just that I didn't expect my work to get a good response. If I knew it earlier, I would have disagreed, but I'm already riding a tiger."

"In terms of writing style, the style of my works is not far from the style of my teacher's works. The outside world is spreading that it is a new idea developed by the teacher, which has been branded by the teacher."

"Besides, it is because I am a famous teacher that I can get good grades. If I am an unknown person, I believe the grades in the book will not be so good."

"This is the star effect. We newcomers can only be sucked in blood."

Speaking of this, Araki Chika's expression changed from misery to hatred.

"Hey, did you hear that?" Mikami Toru said, "I'm also short of money, but I don't want to become like Miss Qianjia, who hides behind the teacher all my life and becomes a bone under his throne." Then he said, "Say Honestly, if there's anyone here who doesn't want the teacher dead, it's me, because I'm proposing a raise to the teacher."

Maori said angrily, "I'm afraid it's blackmail?"

"Whatever you say, in short, if the teacher is not dead, I can take this matter and have the right to speak in front of the teacher." Mikami Toru said, "I said before that the teacher would commit suicide. This is the reason. I don't want to say it or expose it. A deal between me and the teacher."

"In that case..." Mori and Mugure Police Department looked at each other for a while, Mikami Toru really had no reason to kill Umetsu Osamu.

Next to him, Conan approached Yamazaki, pulled Yamazaki aside, and pointed out Meijin Xiu's death message to Yamazaki.

"Death information?" Yamazaki felt a toothache, "Is it the wat held by the priest in the corpse's hand?"

Conan said, "That's right, obviously Mei Jinxiu got it later."

"I don't know where you obviously got it from," Yamazaki asked angrily, "Are you sure it wasn't the scene set up by the murderer?"

"Listen to me." Conan said, "The wat that Mei Jinxiu is holding is upside down, and he wrote in his essay that he has a childish mechanism that is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others. Everyone It’s my own pleasure that no one finds while watching.”

"So what?" Yamazaki asked, "What does this agency have to do with Wat?"

"Many of the titles of his works are palindrome, that is to say, reading it forward and backward has the same meaning." Conan said, "In other words, quietly adding palindrome to his works is the so-called secret of Mr. Meizu. pleasure."

"Then, because Mikami Mikami is also a palindrome, so he is the murderer?" Yamazaki asked, "Do you think so?"

Conan said: "That's right, but I haven't found any further evidence, so I want to ask you why you suspect him to be the murderer."

Yamazaki said: "I doubt him, just because he was the first to find out, and he also brought Uncle Mori with him. According to Uncle Mori's luck, he is probably the murderer. In addition, the scene was a little uncoordinated. The dead were neat and the scene was chaotic. .”

"Hmm, and then?" Conan asked, "What evidence is there?"

"No, he pushed very cleanly." Yamazaki asked, "By the way, do you know what I think? Death information?"

Conan asked, "Oh, what do you think?"

Yamazaki said: "Umetsu Osamu obviously drank the poison, which can be seen from the coffee."

"So what?" Conan asked.

Yamazaki said: "I don't think he can stand up after falling down, so Umejin Osamu committed suicide. He held the wat in the hope of getting good luck after death."

Conan shook his head and smiled, "This is impossible, he must have killed him."

Yamazaki asked, "What about the evidence?"

Conan said, "It will be found."

Yamazaki said: "Then, if Mei Jinxiu was killed by him, I think the murderer was still here at the time, so this wat was arranged by the murderer."

Conan insisted: "No, he must have taken it himself later."

Yamazaki shook his head and said: "Your detective intuition cannot be used as evidence, and the death information you said is unconvincing, because no one can be sure that he will stand up again after taking the poison and falling down."

"..." Conan had nothing to say.

At this time, the forensic personnel stopped work and came to report the situation to the Mumu Police Department.

What Mei Jinxiu drank was in the coffee, which was initially identified as nerve poison, which was also the cause of his death.

Mei Jinxiu suffered trauma to the back of his head, but the blood was only confined to the lower part of his head, that is to say, it was caused by falling down.

Conan interjected, "Hey, can you tell if he got up after he fell down?"

The forensic officer said: "It's hard to judge, because if his trauma is bleeding very little, even if he stands up, the blood may not flow much."

"In addition, there are no bloody handprints in the room. After he stood up, he touched the wound on his head and then touched the bloody handprints left in other places. If there is this, it means that he must have stood up. It cannot be said that he did not stand up, only that the possibility is very small."

Conan was a little discouraged, "That's right."

The forensic personnel continued to report and found some fingerprints and hairs. The fingerprints were confirmed to be those of Takashi Umezu, Toru Mikami, and Chika Araki. The hairs can only be said to be suspicious.

Except for the fingerprints of the deceased, no other fingerprints have been found so far, and based on some traces, it is difficult to determine whether someone entered the room wearing gloves, that is, it is impossible to determine homicide. ...
