My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 614: Why can the enemy sent from heaven defeat the childhood sweetheart?

Originally, Conan was going to stay and check the situation, but was rejected by Ito Tamonsuke. Mouri Kogoro, who loved drinking, naturally did not insist. Aoki Matsu looked at Ito Tamonsuke meaningfully and said nothing.

As he served as the head of the troupe for longer and longer, Ito Tamonsuke became more and more majestic, treating the troupe as if it were his own life, a bit like a heartless robot.

Then everyone left Kinmaru-za and returned to the hotel.

Except for Aoki Matsu, no one else took this matter seriously. Who knew that something would happen early the next morning.

"What did you say? Tamonsuke was taken to the police station!" Ran Mouri looked at Renka Kataoka in surprise.

When Conan heard Kataoka Renka say this explosive news, he drank the milk onto his glasses, and the milk overflowed onto the lenses.

"Yes!" Kataoka Renka nodded anxiously.

Ito Hui cried and held Conan's hand and said, "Conan, save my brother..."

Seeing this, Conan put his hand on Ito Hui's shoulder and said calmly: "Xiao Hui, don't be anxious."

"What's going on?" Qing Musong asked knowingly.

Kataoka Renka put her hands together in front of her chest and said with a worried look on her face, "It's like this, they said he killed Mr. Nabeshima, who was in charge of large props."

"Huh!?" Everyone was shocked!

Conan instantly recalled a scene.

"How could Tamonsuke kill someone?" Suzuki Sonoko stood up, clenched her left fist, and said indignantly.

Kataoka Renka said quickly, "But they said he was holding a knife and fell next to Mr. Nabeshima..."

"Did Tamanosuke faint originally?" asked Aoki Matsu.

"Yeah." Kataoka Renka nodded, "And he was wearing a weirdo mask with blood all over it. So they said that all those things that happened before were done by the captain."

Mao Lilan couldn't accept what he said, "How could this happen, Dad?" She looked at Mao Li Kogoro and said, "Let's go to the police station quickly."

At this time, Aoki Matsu noticed that Shinname Kaori had a strange expression on his face, and quickly asked, "Kaori, what's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing this, Shinname Kaori looked up at Aoki Matsu, met his concerned gaze, and shook her head, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about the content of The Phantom of the Opera, where only the weirdo disappeared and no one died in the end. But now a murder has happened..."

Something is wrong.

"Something is wrong indeed." Aoki Matsu nodded.

As Suzuki Sonoko was the first to rush out, Aoki Matsu and others followed Suzuki Sonoko to the Kotohira Minami Police Station of the Kagawa Prefectural Police.

Thanks to the reputation of Aoki Matsu and Mori Kogoro, everyone learned about the case.

A patrol officer was on patrol on his bicycle as usual this morning. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the stone tablet, he found two people lying on the ground. Then he saw Ito Tamonsuke waking up from the ground with a bloody knife in his hand, while the other person was motionless.

So the police officer called his colleagues over, and then found that the other person was dead.

Naturally, Ito Tamanosuke was taken back to the police station to question what happened.

Ito Tamonsuke said that he went there because he received a letter asking him to go there at night.

Detective Onishi of Kotohira Minami Police Department of Kagawa Prefectural Police confirmed it once.

"Yes." said Ito Tamonsuke, with the letter still in his trouser pocket.

Detective Onishi took a transparent evidence bag, put the letter in it, and then read it. "Go, the scattered flowers are not lonely. I dedicate this to you, the morning of the stone tablet, and the pine trees planted all over the base, Rausu."

After reading it, Detective Onishi looked at Ito Tamonsuke and asked, "This should also be a code to remove the "sa", right? It's the same as the threatening letter sent by that weirdo from the Kinmaruza Theater."

"Yes, that's right." Ito Tamonsuke nodded.

Upon hearing this, Onishi began to "translate" "So the normal way to read it is: I want to discuss the matter of Lianhua with you, wait for me in the open space of the stone tablet."

"But when I got there, Mr. Nabeshima had already fallen to the ground. When I was about to go over to check, I was attacked from behind and lost consciousness," said Ito Tamonsuke.

Detective Onishi nodded, and then hypothesized: "If it is true as you said, then the murderer must have attacked you, then put the mask on your face, and put the murder knife in your hand."

"That's right." Ito Tamonsuke said, slapping the table.

Detective Onishi still looked at Ito Tamonsuke with a scrutinizing gaze, because it is possible that Ito Tamonsuke did this on purpose in order to take advantage of people's habitual thinking.

Sometimes, the things that people think are the most impossible are precisely the truth.

"But why did he do this?" Detective Onishi said with his arms folded across his chest as he looked at Ito Tamonsuke.

Ito Tamanosuke also has his own opinion on this, "Because that person is the real weirdo of the Kinmaruza Theater."

"Oh?" Detective Onishi raised his eyebrows.

Ito Tamonsuke said excitedly: "One moment he sent a threatening letter and asked me to replace the heroine, and the next moment he caused Miss Asumi to be almost hit by a lantern, and he even replaced her mouthwash. What other reason could he have?"

After Ito Tamanosuke finished speaking, Mr. Ohnishi leaned slightly towards him with his right hand on the table. "That's the problem. Mr. Rausu said the same thing as you! He said you asked him to come find you."

"What!" Ito Tamonsuke was shocked.

Not only Ito Tamonsuke was shocked, but also several people who listened to Detective Onishi's introduction of the case were shocked.

Aoki Matsu wanted to hold his forehead with his hand and said, "It's Shin again. Ito Tamanosuke, you should be more careful! You've fallen into this trap again."

Detective Onishi is a veteran detective and although he may not be particularly smart, he is very experienced. So after confirming the identities of Ito Tamonsuke and the victim, he called everyone in the drama troupe over for questioning, including the sponsor Rausu Tatsuhiko.

Because Rausu Tatsuhiko and Ito Tamanosuke seemed to be competing for Miss Kataoka Renka and thus became love rivals, it is not ruled out that Rausu Tatsuhiko did it to frame Ito Tamanosuke.

The Daxi Detective Department has seen many cases of murders of passion.

But no one expected that Rausu Tatsuhiko would reveal such a big piece of news, and he also provided a piece of letter paper as evidence.

However, when Detective Onishi asked him if it was Ito Tamonsuke who did it.

Rausu Tatsuhiko denied it, "No, no, no, I don't mean to say that Tamonsuke-san is the weirdo, it's just a fact that he asked me to find him."

Detective Onishi picked up the letter that Rausu Tatsuhiko handed over and confirmed with Rausu Tatsuhiko once again, "This is it."

Then Detective Onishi said to Rausu Tatsuhiko: "Mr. Ito said that he also received a letter with exactly the same content, except that 'park' was changed to 'stone tablet', and the sender was changed to you."

Rausu Tatsuhiko was very surprised when he heard this.

"So you went, right?" Detective Onishi asked.

Rausu Tatsuhiko crossed his arms and nodded, "I went, but Tamanosuke-san didn't come."

"Of course, because he was at the crime scene at that time." Detective Onishi said, "So did you run into anyone or see anyone in the park?"

Rausu Tatsuhiko thought for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it, when I arrived at the park, I saw Miss Lu Mei standing there."

Detective Onishi then asked Kiribe Asumi about this matter. Kiribe Asumi couldn't speak, so she wrote down what she wanted to say on a piece of paper. She didn't notice Rausu Tatsuhiko at the time, and the reason she went to the park was to do vocal cord exercises, and asked Detective Onishi to keep it confidential.

After listening to Detective Onishi's introduction, Maori Kogoro asked: "Excuse me, the evidence that Mr. Ito will be regarded as a suspect is the knife in his hand that is presumed to be the murder weapon, right?"

"Yes." Detective Onishi replied.

"But Mr. Ito, he fainted, didn't he?" Suzuki Sonoko said hurriedly, "Isn't it possible that someone put the knife in his hand?"

Mao Lilan heard this and echoed: "Yes, yes."

Qing Mu Song looked at Detective Ohnishi and asked, "What do you think about this, Detective Ohnishi? He was knocked unconscious, so there should be scars on his head."

Detective Onishi said, "It is true that Mr. Ito had a wound on the back of his head, but it is also possible that he slipped during the struggle with the victim and hit his head on the uneven ground at the base of the stone tablet. So this cannot be used as evidence of his innocence."

"The place with a different height at the base of the stone tablet?" Conan was stunned.

Maori Kogoro was also a little confused when he heard this, and looked at Detective Onishi and said, "Please explain it to me."

"Okay, there happened to be a memorial stone standing behind the victim, and the base of the stone tablet just happened to form a height difference." Detective Onishi explained: "Because there was no bleeding, it was just swollen, so it is impossible to tell the direction of the force, so naturally I can't rule out suspicion."

"So what is the motive for murder?" Kogoro Mouri continued to ask.

Detective Onishi crossed his arms and said, "It should be a dispute over money. Since Mr. Nabeshima was a long-time employee of the boss, it was said that Mr. Nabeshima often forced an advance on his salary or made various unreasonable demands, so the suspect finally couldn't help it..." and killed him.

"How could it be!" Mao Lilan couldn't believe it.

So did Suzuki Sonoko, “This is impossible.”

"Brother Ito would never do such a thing." Sayuri also agreed.

This reason is indeed a bit far-fetched.

Ito Tamonsuke was not only the troupe leader but also the leading actor. The fact that he could perform at Kinmaru-za showed that his troupe was very popular and he must have made a lot of money, even more than the average star.

Even though the salary in the Japanese entertainment industry is lower than that in the Chinese and Hollywood industries, it is still a high-paying job for ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, Ito Tamonsuke would have just fired the other person. After all, he had fired a lot of people after taking over. It was impossible for him to kill someone for a little money and ruin his bright future.

Unless - he has something on Katsuo Nabeshima to hold against him.

"There's one more thing." Detective Onishi obviously knew that this reason was a bit far-fetched, so he continued, "And this is the most important point - he tried to frame Mr. Rausu. It seems that he is the weirdo of Kinmaru-za, and he wants to put the blame on Mr. Rausu, hoping to use this method to make Miss Renka choose him."

Mao Lilan quickly explained: "This statement is even more strange, because the two of them are..."

"The relationship is very good." Suzuki Sonoko added, making her feel that there was no chance of penetration. "Although it is very unacceptable, he really doesn't need to spend that kind of thought at all."

Maori Kogoro has a different opinion. "That's why he did this because of Mr. Rausu's appearance, right?"

"Ah!?" Suzuki Sonoko was stunned when she heard this.

"Sometimes, the relationship between men and women cannot be fully understood from appearances," said Kogoro Mori, as if he were an experienced person.

"How could it be..." Mao Lilan was a little unconvinced.

But sometimes it is true.

And as far as Aoki Matsu knows, there is no confirmed romantic relationship between Ito Tamonsuke and Kataoka Renka, so why can't it be - in fact, Kataoka Renka is not in love with Ito Tamonsuke, she just simply likes to perform dramas, and only admires Ito Tamonsuke, not loves him.

Before Aoki Matsu traveled through time, these two people were no longer seen in the subsequent plot, and there was no outcome for their relationship.

So why can't everyone just get it wrong?

What's more, according to the habits of the old thief Aoyama and the fact that each member of the red team has a childhood sweetheart in the later period, why do we determine that the person Kataoka Renka likes is the heaven-sent Ito Tamanosuke, rather than his childhood sweetheart Rausu Tatsuhiko.

If that is the case, it is possible that Ito Tamonsuke liked Kataoka Renka but did not get a response from her, so it is natural that he would be resentful of his new childhood sweetheart Rausu Tatsuhiko and then do such a thing.

After all, in Ke Xueli, a gift from heaven cannot defeat a childhood sweetheart.

Looking at the evidence again, Ito Tamonsuke is indeed the most suspicious.

But judging from what Ito Tamonsuke said, he might have been framed.

So Detective Onishi did not close the case, but he also did not release Ito Tamonsuke.

Putting aside the good impression that I had for Ito Tamanosuke because he looked like Kudo Shinichi, Detective Onishi's approach was not wrong and was very safe.

After leaving the police station, Mao Lilan looked at Mao Li Kogoro and Aoki Matsu and asked: "Dad, Aoki brother, what should we do now?"

"Go to the scene, then go to the theater and ask others if they noticed anything unusual last night." Aoki Matsu said.

The Daxi criminal said that the base of the stone tablet has a height difference. We still need to see it with our own eyes to know what is going on.

"it is good."

Then everyone went to the stone tablet. Because the scene had been investigated, the cordon had been cancelled, but the trace lines at the scene were still there, so they could roughly imagine the posture of the body.

At that time, the deceased Katsuo Nabeshima's feet were very close to the stone tablet, but his head and hands were far away from the stone tablet. According to Detective Onishi, the body was lying on the ground when it was found.

So looking at the posture of the corpse, it looked like it was standing in front of the stone tablet, but was attacked by the murderer from behind the stone tablet, was killed in one blow, and then fell forward.
