Chapter 175: The Unresponsive Big Dog
Sunday, July 21.
At night, Mr. Masayoshi Sakaguchi's German Shepherd named John attacked Xiaogang who came to take care of him and bit his neck.
After Megure Police Department asked Ms. Sugita Sanae who was invited by Xiaogang to play, the victim was called Maehara Tsuyoshi, 20 years old this year, a college student who lived next to Mr. Sakaguchi, and Mr. Sakaguchi asked him to take care of John. When it was almost nine o'clock, Mr. Sakaguchi called back and said he wanted to talk to John. Maehara took the handset of the phone and went up to the second floor, and put the handset next to John's ear. He didn't want to just put it on. John suddenly pounced on Xiao Gang, attacked him, and finally killed him.
Megure police department asked: "Miss Sanae, why did this dog suddenly look like this?"
Miss Sanae said in horror: "I don't know, it suddenly jumped at Xiaogang and attacked him."
"You're talking nonsense," Conan yelled, "John doesn't attack people for no reason."
Ms. Sanae said, "But Xiaogang didn't do anything."
Lan asked: "Mumu Police Department, what will happen to John?"
"I don't know yet, but if this dog will attack people for no reason, it will have to be treated with drugs." Mumu Police Department said, "There is no way."
"Drug treatment?" Lan asked in surprise, "Did you kill it?"
"This," Megure Police Department said, "Let's wait until Mr. Sakaguchi comes back."...
Night, Maori Detective Agency.
Conan secretly flipped through the newspaper clips from the past. A first-year junior high school student committed suicide because he was bullied at school. The person who bullied him was a classmate in the same class.
Conan thought to himself, John is a well-trained dog, and he should not attack people for no reason. Wait a minute, John started to attack the victim after listening to the phone call. Could it be that Mr. Sakaguchi gave it an order on the phone? ? However, Mr. Sakaguchi is so nice, why would he do this? Could Xiao Gang be that person?
Monday, July 22, afternoon.
Megure Police Department came to Mori Detective Agency.
Waiting for Lan to serve tea to Mumu Police Department on the sofa, standing next to the sofa, Conan asked: "Mumu Police Department, where is John? Could it be that John has been treated with drugs?"
After taking a sip of tea, the Mumu Police Department smiled and said: "Conan, don't worry, we just took it away. After all, it hasn't been sentenced yet, so don't worry."
Sitting on the opposite sofa, Mori asked, "What did Mr. Sakaguchi say, Police Department Megure?"
Mu Mu Police Department said: "He also doesn't believe that John would attack people casually."
Conan said: "Yes, I don't believe it either, there must be a reason for this."
Hugging Conan's head and closing his mouth, Maori said, "Be quiet for me." Then he smiled, "I'm sorry, please continue with the police department."
The Mumu Police Department described the investigation content in the morning. Mr. Sakaguchi asked Xiaogang to answer John on the phone. According to the habit, he said good night to John and was ready to go to bed. Before saying good night, he just said, "John, how are you?" How are you, John?" Then John's barking and Xiao Gang's screams were heard.
Maori asked, "Then Mr. Sakaguchi didn't say anything else?"
"Nothing," Megure Police Department said,
"I've already asked Sanae-san about this."
Breaking away from Maori's hand, Conan asked, "Sister Lan, do you still remember what you said last night? You said that Mr. Sakaguchi's son committed suicide."
Before Lan could answer, the Mumu Police Department said: "I also heard about that incident from my colleagues, and it seems to be because of being bullied by my classmates."
Mao Li asked, "Could it be that Xiao Gang was the one who bullied his son at that time?"
Megure Police Department said: "Yes, this seems to be true." Then he took out the police handbook and said, "I also heard from Mr. Sakaguchi that Xiaogang and his son Masato were classmates in junior high school, and Masato wrote in his diary that he was bullied by Xiaogang and committed suicide because of it. Mr. Sakaguchi must have hated Xiaogang very much after reading Masato's diary, and his wife passed away very early, and Masato was his only one. However, during the vigil, he saw Xiao Gang who kept crying and apologizing, so he forgave him."
Mao Li asked, "Is Xiao Gang the only one who bullied his son Zhengren at that time?"
"It seems to be so," Megure Police Department continued, "Shortly after that incident, Xiaogang transferred to Kansai because of his father's work, and then two years ago, Xiaogang was admitted to a university in Tokyo and returned to Kansai again. to Tokyo, and moved next door to Mr. Sakaguchi this spring."
Mao Li said with emotion: "This fate really loves to play tricks on people."
Police Department Megure continued: "Mr. Sakaguchi didn't expect to see Xiaogang again, but he said he had forgotten the past, and often invited Xiaogang to his house for dinner."
"But in fact, I think Mr. Sakaguchi still hates Xiaogang." Maori touched his chin and said, "I think Mr. Sakaguchi is secretly training John and asking him to attack people with specific secret signals. I think Mr. Sakaguchi last night That's what Mister used to tell John on the phone, 'John, how are you? How are you, John?' And just like that, Mr. Sakaguchi's revenge plan was finally realized."
The Mumu Police Department said: "It should not be the case."
"Huh?" Molly asked, "Why not?"
"When we asked Mr. Sakaguchi, we asked him to repeat what he said on the phone. John was beside him at the time, but it didn't respond at all, so your guess is not correct." Megure Police Department said .
Maori said discouragedly: "Really, I still think this reasoning is quite exciting."
The Mumu Police Department comforted: "Mr. Mao Li, don't get discouraged so quickly."
Sitting behind the desk, Yamazaki said: "I think you are right, Uncle Mori. This incident was carefully planned by Mr. Sakaguchi."
"Why do you say that?" Meguro Police Department asked.
"Why did the dog only attack Xiaogang, and there was another person present at the time, but he was not attacked." Yamazaki said, "I think the reason why Mr. Sakaguchi often invites Xiaogang to his house for dinner is to let the dog get used to his smell. At the same time, take the opportunity to leave something with Xiaogang's smell, and then use this to train the dog so that it will only choose Xiaogang."
The Mumu Police Department asked: "What is the basis for what you said?"
Yamazaki said: "Just check Mr. Sakaguchi's itinerary. He can't train that dog at home."
"And the rest," Maury asked, "how did he direct John?"
Yamazaki said: "I don't know the specifics, but since someone has fully experienced the incident, then it should be clear to restore the incident."
The Megure Police Department said: "Well, I will send someone to check Mr. Sakaguchi's itinerary immediately, and we will go to his house in the evening."
At eight o'clock in the evening, Mr. Sakaguchi's house.
When the five Mao Li arrived, there was nothing else going on at Mei Dai Restaurant, so Mei Daizi followed.
At this time, the Megure Police Department is re-arranging the scene according to Miss Sanae's instructions.
Seeing that the dog was still in the cage, Yamazaki asked, "Police Megure, can you let the dog out first?"
After thinking for a while, the Mumu Police Department ordered: "Let it out."
As soon as John was let go, he automatically ran to the platform on the second floor and lay down.
Conan asked, "Uncle, does John always sleep on the stairs?"
Mr. Sakaguchi said: "Yes, that's right. Because it is next to my son Masato's room. He likes John very much, but my wife doesn't allow dogs to enter the door, so I had to let John sleep by the door, and I got used to it later. It's been eight years since I said that, but John still waits for my son to open the door every morning and say, 'Good morning, John.'"
"By the way, Mumu Police Department," Mao Li stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Is there any result to that matter?"
Megure Police Department said: "After our investigation, Mr. Sakaguchi has taken John out by car every Sunday for the past three months."
Maori asked again, "Then what did he say?"
Megure Police Department said: "Mr. Sakaguchi said to take John for a walk in the suburbs, where there is a relatively large space for John to exercise."
Maori asked again: "Has he done this before?"
Megure Police Department said: "Yes, but I don't go often."
Maury said, "He must have used that time to train John."
"Regarding this, we have no evidence yet." Megure Police Department said.
Molly said, "That's right."
At half past eight, the scene was set up.
Listening to the music, looking at the beer and pizza on the table, Mori said, "Miss Sanae, so you held a party here last night."
Miss Sanae said embarrassedly: "This..."
"Then do you drink beer?" Mao Li smiled, "Leave this matter to me." Then he asked, "Is it okay, Megure Police Department?"
Mumu Police Department smiled and said: "Yes..."
"That's great." Maori said, opening a can of beer and pouring it into his mouth.
The Mumu police department continued: "As long as you play Xiaogang."
"Pfft! Cough, cough..." Mao Li immediately sprayed out the beer, and then said with a dry smile, "Mumu Police Department, you should find someone else for such an important task."
Mumu Police Department smiled and said: "Don't worry, John will be locked up."
"Ah," Maori laughed, "Then, leave this task to me."
Megure police department asked: "Miss Sanae, how many cans of beer did Xiaogang drink?"
Ms. Sanae recalled: "There should be four or five cans. He had been drinking before the accident."
Before nine o'clock, the Megure Police Department used a mobile phone to call Mr. Sakaguchi's home.
Wearing the clothes borrowed from the victim's house, Maori immediately turned off the music, picked up the phone on the table and walked upstairs.
Conan said, "Uncle, what he took yesterday was a wireless handset."
Megure police department asked: "Mr. Sakaguchi?"
"Oh, I answered a call today and took the handset to the study." Mr. Sakaguchi said, "I'll get it right away."
He took the handset, and when the clock struck nine o'clock, Mori went up again, and then Mr. Sakaguchi said on the mobile phone of the Megure Police Department: "John, how are you? How are you, John?"
However, John in the cage did not react hostilely at all.
"Damn it," said Maury, "what's going on here?"
Mr. Sakaguchi said, "I think it's okay."
"This," Megure Police Department said, "It's ok."
"Wait a minute, Police Department Megure, is this set of clothes washed and clean?" Yamazaki asked, "Can you ask Uncle Mori to try again with the clothes worn by the victim?"
Ten minutes later, when the bell was adjusted to nine o'clock, Mao Li put on the bloody clothes of the victim, took the handset, and came to John again. Mr. Sakaguchi said that on the mobile phone, but there was still no result.
Mr. Sakaguchi said, "That's fine."
The Mumu Police Department said: "It's ok."...
