Chapter 211: The Uncertain Driver

On Tuesday, August 6th, the office of lawyer Zhuangping Xun.

After calling for drinks, Lawyer Xun invited Mao Li and the four of them to sit down. Soon after, when it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, lawyer Xun, who had been keeping an eye on the time, said that he was going to the bathroom and could start working when he came back. Who knew that he had just entered when the phone rang. Lawyer Xun asked Mao Li to pick it up, and Conan rushed over.

"Hi, hello."

"Children? Where's Lawyer Xun?"

"Which one are you?"

"I'm his wife, little brother, can you ask my husband to listen?"

"Please wait a moment," Conan said, and then shouted into the bathroom, "Lawyer Xun, it belongs to your wife."

Lawyer Xun shouted in the bathroom: "I'm not free for now, let her talk later."

Conan told the truth, Madam Xun hung up the phone. Not long after, there was the sound of water being flushed in the bathroom.

Maori said, "Lan, take Conan out first."

Lan smiled and said, "Let's go, Conan."

"I'm really sorry," Lawyer Xun came out and said, then smiled at Lan and Conan, "There is a waiter over there in the hall, please give me my name, order whatever you like, don't be polite, try to order as much as you can."

"Thank you," Lan said with a smile, "let's take our leave." Saying that, he saluted and left.

Lawyer Xun said: "Detective Maori, to be honest, I came to ask you to help me investigate my wife." He took out a photo.

In the photo, Mrs. Sunda looks less than thirty years old and looks very beautiful.

Maori asked in surprise, "Could it be..."

"Alas!" Sighing, Lawyer Xun said, "I suspect that my wife is having an affair with Mei, please help me investigate."

"I know." Molly said seriously.

"Detective Maori, don't take pictures of this matter, you just need to tell me who the other party is, I believe you." Lawyer Xun said, then bowed his head and begged, "I want to give her another chance, please be sure Keep it a secret, please."

However, Yamazaki felt the danger. When Lawyer Tatsumi said that I wanted to give her another chance, there was a burst of intention to kill someone from Lawyer Tatsumi. It seemed that Lawyer Tatsumi wanted to do something by himself.

Maori said solemnly: "I understand."

Maori wrote down some basic information about Mrs. Sun, including her phone number, license plate number, and the things Lawyer Sun brought back through Mrs. Sun, guessing the places she frequented recently, and then said goodbye to Yamazaki.

After arriving at the lobby of the hotel at around 1:30, after meeting Lan and Conan, Conan asked, "Uncle, what is Lawyer Xun looking for from you?"

"Don't worry about the kids," Mao Li said, "Lan, take this kid home first, Yamazaki and I have something to do." Then he took out the information and said to Yamazaki, "I'll leave these two places to you. Let’s get familiar with it first, and see if there are any unexpected gains by the way.”

"Okay," Yamazaki asked, "but, Uncle, how can I contact you?"

After thinking for a while, Maori said, "Okay, I'll buy a mobile phone too."

Lan asked, "Dad, what are you guys up to?"

"It's a secret." Maori said, "Okay, you go back first, I'll go back for dinner in the evening.

"

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I'll go first."

At around 1:40, Yamazaki walked out of the hotel gate, and while walking around the hotel, he called his mother Miko Miyamoto who was in the office.

"Lawyer Xun Zhuangping? I know this person." Miyamoto Miko said, and then asked after thinking for a while, "Did you see his secretary?"

Yamazaki said, "No, he's the only one."

"Then it might be today," Miko Miyamoto said, "Go to the room next to his office, Room 1512, to have a look. That's the waiting room he prepares for clients, and there are usually secretaries there. .”

"I see." Yamazaki said, "It seems that the person was transferred."

Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Yamazaki re-entered the hotel from the hotel's underground parking lot after going around the hotel for nearly a full circle.

After walking not far, Yamazaki found Lawyer Tatsumi coming out of the elevator and immediately hid. Then I watched him pick out a large package from the pile of packages piled at the exit of the laundry room's special pipeline, move it into the trunk of a car, and then get in the car and leave.

Yamazaki gave chase, and then called a taxi to follow. Following all the way to a three-story mansion, Yamazaki saw the car driving in, paid the fare, got out of the car and ran over. Looking at the house number, this is the home of Lawyer Xun.

At this time, the sound of the car starting sounded, and Yamazaki immediately hid. Afterwards, Lawyer Xun drove out again, but instead of returning to the hotel the same way, he went in another direction. When Yamazaki was thinking about what Lawyer Tatsumi was doing, he suddenly found that the courtyard door of Lawyer Tatsumi's house was wide open.

At this time, Yamazaki's phone rang, and it belonged to Maori. He had just bought a mobile phone, so he called and told him the number.

"Uncle, you should go to Lawyer Xun's house first." Yamazaki said.

"What happened?" Molly asked.

"I don't know yet," Yamazaki said, "Anyway, come here quickly."

After hanging up the phone and entering the room, Yamazaki found a pair of women's shoes at the entrance. Then on the way to the living room, I found a wrinkled tie on the ground, and then found Lawyer Tatsumi's wife Tatsumi and Mei lying on the ground in the living room.

Yamazaki stepped forward and took a look. Tatsumi and Mei were still alive, but their breathing was very weak. Yamazaki immediately called an ambulance, and then called the police, thinking to himself, it's strange, didn't he kill him?

Yamazaki took a look at Tatsumi and Mi's injuries, and found that there was no bleeding wound, only a strangle mark on the neck, and the murder weapon was probably the tie on the ground.

Yamazaki called his mother Miko Miyamoto again and told her about the incident.

Miko Miyamoto asked: "Did you see who was sitting in the driver's seat when the car entered and exited Lawyer Tatsumi's house?"

"No, when he came in, I was behind him," Yamazaki said with a wry smile, "When he came out, I chose the wrong direction, I thought he would go back to the hotel, so I waited on that road, but he walked another way side."

"That's troublesome," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "You play slowly, and let me know if you make any progress."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Wait a minute, Mom, how about giving some hints, why bother?"

"Well, the reminder is that the living and the dead are different." Miko Miyamoto smiled and hung up the phone after speaking.

"Of course the living and the dead are different." Yamazaki said helplessly to himself, "What kind of reminder is this?"

Yamazaki walked around Lawyer Tatsumi's house, and found a door at the back, which opened into the garage. It seemed that Lawyer Tatsumi entered through this door and left after putting down Tatsumi and Mimi.

Moments later, the ambulance came to pick up Tatsumi and Mi, and then Mori, Conan, and Ran arrived.

Maori asked, "What's going on here?"

Yamazaki said: "When I went back to the hotel from the parking lot, I accidentally found Lawyer Tatsumi...and finally found Tatsumi and Mi collapsed at home."

"Huh?" Maori asked in surprise, "Is she dead?"

Yamazaki said, "No."

At this time, the Mugure Police Department arrived with their subordinates. After hearing what Yamazaki said, they immediately notified Lawyer Tatsumi to let him go home, and then started the work of collecting evidence.

The Mumu Police Department asked: "Maori, why did you go to the hotel where Lawyer Tatsumi's office is located?"

"Well," Mao Li said in a low voice, "Lawyer Xun entrusted me to help him investigate his wife. He suspects that his wife is having an affair."

"What?" The Mumu Police Department was taken aback.

Mao Li said: "So, this matter may really be done by Lawyer Xun."

At this time, the hospital called. They suspected that Tatsumi and Mei had hypoxic brain damage. They couldn't treat it there and needed to be transferred to another hospital immediately.

"Megure Police Department, let Mrs. Tatsumi be transferred to Good Mood General Hospital," Yamazaki said, "I'll notify you to send a medical helicopter over there." Then he called Dr. Asaika.

Not long after, Lawyer Xun came back in his car. As soon as he got out of the car, he asked, "Mumu Police Department, Maori Detective, why are you at my house? What's going on?"

Mu Mu Police Department asked: "Lawyer Xun, can you please open the trunk?"

"No," Lawyer Xun said, "Please give me an explanation first."

The Megure Police Department recounted what Yamazaki said, and also told about Mrs. Tatsumi's situation.

"You suspect that I brought my wife home in a pocket? This is nonsense. I did take a pocket," Lawyer Tatsumi asked, "But, Mr. Yamazaki, you said you saw her in the underground parking lot. I drove out, and then you chased out of the parking lot and called a taxi to follow my car, then let me ask you, how much time did you spend during this process, can you confirm that the last car I followed was mine car?"

"It can't be wrong," Yamazaki said with a smile, "I remember the license plate number is, uh..." Looking at the license plate number of Lawyer Tatsumi's car, Yamazaki couldn't help laughing, "It's not this car, the license plate number is different." Said Then he reported the license plate number he saw.

The Mumu Police Department immediately sent someone to check the license plate number.

"So, Lawyer Xun, can I ask you," Mumu Police Department asked, "What's in that pocket?"

"They were all personal belongings. I felt tired from carrying them, so I threw them down the dedicated pipeline in the laundry room," Lawyer Xun said, "I burned the pockets and the contents just now."

Mumu Police Department asked: "Then where did you go to burn these things just now?"

Lawyer Xun said: "I don't think there is anything wrong this afternoon, so I went to clean and maintain the car, and I used the incinerator there." He reported the address there.

The Mumu Police Department checked on the map and found that the place was not far from Lawyer Tatsumi's house, but in the opposite direction from the hotel. That is to say, Lawyer Tatsumi could go there after returning home.

The Mumu Police Department asked: "Did you not come back halfway?"

"No," Lawyer Tatsumi asked, "Mr. Yamazaki, did you see me driving back?"

"I didn't see who was in the car," Yamazaki said. "I just saw the car coming in and then going out again."

Lawyer Xun asked: "Then you found the courtyard door was wide open, and the door was not closed, so you went in?"

"Yes." Yamazaki said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have broken in."

Lawyer Xun said, "I want to thank you, thank you for calling the ambulance to take Kazumi to the hospital."

"It should be," Yamazaki said.

Lawyer Xun said: "Mumu Police Department, if there is nothing wrong, I want to go to the hospital to see my wife."

"A few more questions," Mumu Police Department asked, "Lawyer Xun, is your wife in the hotel today?"

"Yes." Lawyer Xun said, "Didn't Detective Maori know about it too? She made a call at one o'clock in the noon. It was made from the room next to my office, which is also the room I reserved."

"Maori?" Megure Police Department asked.

"Yes," said Molly, "but I didn't know it was next door."

"This kid from Conan answered the phone," Lawyer Xun said, "I was in the bathroom."

"Yes, I picked it up." Conan said, "It was indeed Mrs. Sun herself who called."

Lan said, "By the way, the call was recorded..."

"I washed the phone recordings before I came out. This is my habit and the client requested it." Lawyer Xun said, "If you want to confirm whether Hemei has gone to the hotel, you can ask the hotel staff. They should know that I He and Kazumi went to the hotel together."

Mumu Police Department asked, "Why did Mrs. Xun go to your office?"

"Because I have an appointment this morning, and we want to talk about some things that are not easy to talk on the phone." Lawyer Xun said, "But today's client didn't leave until the Maori detective came, so I had to entertain the Maori detective first. .”

"Yes," Maori said, "We met at the entrance of the hotel. At that time, Lawyer Xun was sending someone off."

"Then why doesn't Mrs. Xun come out to eat together?" Mumu Police Department asked, "And if the neighbor is next door, can't you come over?"

"Well, because of Maori's status as a detective, I didn't notify her," Lawyer Xun said, "And she probably didn't come here because she didn't want to disturb my work."

The Mumu Police Department asked: "Then why did you choose to call again at one o'clock?"

"My work starts at one o'clock in the afternoon. She may have called to confirm my work in the afternoon. We haven't had time to talk in the morning." Lawyer Xun said with a smile, "Mr. Waiting for her call."

"That's why, Lawyer Xun, you keep checking the time," Mao Li said with a smile, "I must have had a hard time enduring the stomachache."

"That's right," Lawyer Xun said with a smile, "It would be too rude for Mr. Maori if I call."

Mumu Police Department asked: "So, Lawyer Xun, when was the last time you saw your wife?"

"It was in the morning," said Lawyer Xun. "Later, I saw that I didn't have an appointment for the afternoon, so I went to the next door to find Hemei, but she was no longer there. It was about 1:30 at that time."

Lawyer Ke Nanxun asked: "Uncle, why don't you know if you have an appointment?"

"My secretary went out yesterday." Lawyer Xun laughed.

Mumu Police Department asked: "So, Lawyer Xun, have you called your wife?"

"I called, but the mobile phone was turned off." Lawyer Xun said, "No one answered the call at home, so I simply packed up my belongings, and then went to maintain the car."

At this time, the Megure Police Department received a call that the license plate number reported by Yamazaki was false. Later, the appraiser said that in addition to the fingerprints of the Sunda couples on the doorknob, there was also a fingerprint of a stranger.

"Is it Yamazaki's?" Mori asked.

Yamazaki said, "I didn't touch the doorknob."

"Then maybe this person did it," Lawyer Xun said, "Okay, I'm going to the hospital." Then he got into the car.

"Wait a minute, Lawyer Xun," Mumu Police Department said, "Can you put the trunk..."

"Okay, okay, but it has been cleaned." Lawyer Xun said as he opened the trunk.

Not long after, the appraisers finished their inspection of the trunk of Lawyer Xun's car, but found nothing of value. ...
