My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 656

"Yes!" the criminal on the side responded quickly.

Aihara Yoji thought for a moment and said, "In this case, if we can find out who among the three people is holding the victim's coin purse, then it should be..."

"When he found that there was only change in the coin purse, he might have thrown it away." Aoki Matsu shook his head and denied what Aihara Yoji said.

Aihara Yoji was surprised when he heard this, "Ah! Then..."

Aoki Matsu smiled and said, "But don't worry, Mr. Rutger actually left us a hint before he fainted."

"Hint?" Yoji Aihara blinked.

"Before Mr. Rutger fainted, he pointed at Genta and said the word 'criminal'," said Aoki Matsu.

"Ah, could it be... that you are the murderer?" Yoji Aihara was shocked by what Aoki Matsu said.

I subconsciously ignored how a child of only a few years old like Yuantai could hit Mr. Rutger who was standing in front of him with two bangs. He couldn't have jumped up and hit him on the head, so Mr. Rutger would be a fool.

"So... is it really me?" Yuan Tai, who had originally thought that he was no longer a suspect, was once again at a loss.

"Genta, I told you it wasn't you!" Aoki Matsu shook his head. "It wasn't you. Later, Mr. Rutger pulled Conan's shoulder and kept muttering 'EL'. I guess he meant that the criminal might have something in common with Genta about 'EL', or that the criminal and Genta had a connection in 'EL'."

"EL? What is that?"

Maruta Ayumi was troubled by the discovery that the sudden "death message" did not help them much in solving the case, but instead brought new problems.

"It's not clear yet, but this 'EL' riddle should be related to Conan. After all, I was the person closest to Mr. Rutger at the time, but he passed me, pulled Conan to his side, and revealed this information to him." Aoki Matsu shook his head.

Although he had not yet figured out what the two letters meant, or which word was left unfinished, based on Mr. Rutger's behavior at the time, he was confident that Conan would be able to understand what he meant and catch the murderer.

As for him!

Sorry, what Aoki Matsu hates most is solving puzzles, and it’s also what he’s worst at.

After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, everyone's eyes turned to Conan, and even Conan himself fell into deep thought.

However, everyone's wild guesses did not last long before they were interrupted by a familiar man brought in by the police.

"Tsk, what's going on? Why should I report to you policemen what I'm doing here?"

The man who was brought in was the bearded man who came out of the car and argued with them after the ball kicked by Yuantai accidentally hit the car.

"What happened?"

Another man in sunglasses who was blocked by the lifting bar at the exit also came over, and his tone sounded very irritated.

But Qing Mu Song was not afraid of the two guys in front of him. One looked like a gangster and the other looked like a gangster, but what did it matter? Compared with the drunkard organization, these two people were noobs.

Aoki Matsu, who remained calm, ignored the two men and waited for another police officer in the distance to come over with the guy who lost his driver's license before explaining everything together.

"Officer, I brought him here."

Qing Musong nodded. Fortunately, this guy had not yet entered the activity venue upstairs, otherwise it would take a lot of time to find this guy among a large crowd.

"Well, I'm really in a hurry." Although the fan Azai was very anxious, his tone was still soft.

"I'm sorry, but there was an assault here, and it seems that you three were the only ones in the basement garage when the perpetrator attacked. So, please cooperate with our investigation."

The job of explaining certainly couldn't be left to Aoki Matsu, so Maruta Ayumi took the opportunity to explain the situation to the three of them.

"Huh? What? Are you kidding? Do you think we are suspects?" The bearded man whose car was kicked by Yuantai expressed his dissatisfaction indignantly.

"It doesn't matter. Even if you refuse now, we will visit you at your homes later." Qing Musong's tone was flat, and his steady posture made the bearded man finally give in.

Facing Qing Mu Song's calm demeanor, the bearded man panicked for a moment, then reluctantly told the reason why he stayed in the underground garage. "Really? Okay, okay, just tell me. I was just sitting in the car and listening to horse racing. Because this department store is very close to the off-site horse racing ticket sales, I thought if there was any good opportunity, I would go and buy two tickets."

"Oh, then may I ask your name?" Aoki Matsu nodded and signaled Maruta Ayumi to write down the reasons of the person in front of him.

The other party introduced himself after hearing this, "My name is KOZIMA, Mikishima Kojima."

"Hmm? KOZIMA? It looks like you are the criminal." Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Kojima Mikishima with an excited expression.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?" When suddenly pointed out, Kojima Kanfu's right eyelid twitched slightly. He turned his head and saw Mitsuhiko and Ayumi and said with dissatisfaction.

Ayumi clenched her fist and looked at him and said, "Because your last name and Genta's are pronounced the same."

"Genta?" Mikishima Kojima didn't understand this far-fetched reason at all.

"And your jersey number is also solid evidence. 11 is the jersey number of Hero Akagi of the Tokyo Spirit team, and Genta is also wearing a polo shirt of the Tokyo Spirit team." Mitsuhiko pointed to the number 11 on the back of Mikio Kojima's clothes and felt that he had the key evidence.

"The Tokyo Spirit team doesn't just have Hero Akagi, there's also Naoki and other players. And the number 11 isn't unique to the Tokyo Spirit team, doesn't the BIG Osaka team also have a player wearing the number 11 jersey?" Conan sighed. Although he knew that the two were anxious to find the murderer because of Genta, his reasoning had to conform to basic logic.

“That being said…” But the guy in front of me is extremely suspicious.

"And we always called him Genta in front of Mr. Rutger, and never called him Kojima, right?" Dr. Agasa recalled the conversation they had with Mr. Rutger during the brief few minutes they spent together. It was certain that they always called him "Genta, Genta" and never mentioned his full name.

Sayuri also nodded and responded: "That's right, since he doesn't know Genta's last name is KOZIMA, it's impossible for him to point at Genta in order to identify him."

“That’s true.” Mitsuhiko touched the back of his head, thinking that he was still too anxious.

Although Conan denied what Mitsuhiko and Ayumi said, Mikishima Kojima was indeed very suspicious.

Because among these three people, only the connection between Mr. Kanjima and Genta was the most obvious in Mr. Rutger's eyes. After all, considering the time when he spoke, Mr. Rutger must have seen Mr. Kanjima causing trouble for Genta because of the problem of the football kicking the car.

But after thinking about it, Qing Musong did not say it, but asked the second person, "Excuse me, why are you here?"

"I came here to buy the bag my woman wanted. It turned out that it was out of stock here, so I was anxious to go buy it somewhere else, but unexpectedly the exit fence gate was broken. What bad luck." The man wearing sunglasses, who looked like he was involved in gangsters, curled his lips, obviously feeling extremely unhappy about his bad luck today.

Qing Musong looked at him and asked, "May I ask your name?"

"My name is Xuantian..." the man in sunglasses hadn't finished his words yet.

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi shouted at the same time: "Yuanta? You are the criminal!"

"Xuan Tian" and "Yuan Tai" have almost the same pronunciation.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not 'Yuanta', it's 'Genda', it's Genda Tatsuzo!" Frightened by the two children who suddenly rushed forward, Genda Tatsuzo subconsciously took a half step back, and then defended himself loudly, "You simply heard it wrong."

"I think Mr. Rutger must have heard it wrong just like us!" Mitsuhiko pointed at him and said.

Ayumi also agreed: "And uncle, you are as fat as Genta!"

Hearing this, an expression of shame and anger appeared on Genda Tatsuzo's face. He didn't know whether it was the first sentence or the second sentence that offended him.

"Don't be silly, there are countless fat people in this world. Not to mention, isn't Dr. Agasa also fat?" Haibara Ai said calmly.

Dr. Agasa, who was originally just listening to the three people explain their purpose, suddenly found that he could be shot twice in the buttocks even if he was standing still. He subconsciously lowered his head to look at his belly.

Huihara Ai continued: "Besides, if Mr. Rutger knew that the suspects were the three of them, would he leave such a completely vague and ambiguous hint?"

"That's right. When Mr. Rutger mentioned the criminal, in addition to pointing to Genta, didn't he also say the two letters EL? If he even knew the name, couldn't he just say who it was?" Conan spread his hands. It would definitely be wrong to start from the similarity of the names. The interpretation of the clues must start from other angles.

Upon hearing this, Guangyan touched his head awkwardly and said with an awkward smile: "That's right!"

"Then the only one left is you. Why are you here?" Qing Musong looked at the last person and asked.

Most people's eyes were focused on the last person.

"I... I'm here to participate in a photo shoot for the new idol, Ms. Itaguchi Ai, held on the sixth floor of this building. My name is Daisho Inagaki, but I'm just a fan." As if he was not used to being the focus of everyone's attention, Daisho Inagaki subconsciously pulled down the brim of his baseball cap and lowered his head slightly to cover his eyes.

"Wait...wait, according to your driver's license, your name is HIROMASA, the Writing Master, right?" Mitsuhiko seemed to have caught some inspiration.

General Inagaki asked nervously, "Yes, is there any problem?"

"If we remove the rice at the beginning..." Mitsuhiko said.

Following Mitsuhiko's words, Ayumi was surprised, "Isn't he referring to Genta?"

Aoki Matsu shook his head. "I've already said that the angle of the names can't be right. How could Mr. Rutger know the names of these three strangers and use this as a clue for us to find them?"

"But brother Aoki, don't you think this is just a coincidence?" Mitsuhiko said righteously.

"And look at that guy's hat!" Ayumi pointed at General Inagaki's hat and said, "There's a big L on it!"

Upon hearing this, General Inagaki quickly explained, "This is... a peripheral product of Ms. Itaguchi Ai."

"I think our L should have nothing to do with this L." Conan said at this time: "If Mr. Rutger wanted to leave a hint of this hat, he should have said LOVE instead of L!"

"But maybe because Mr. Rutger is German, he can't understand it!" Mitsuhiko continued to argue.

"Impossible!" Aoki Matsu interrupted Mitsuhiko, "Have you forgotten? Mr. Rutger's ex-wife is British, so he learned English. In that case, how could he not recognize the word LOVE? So Mr. Rutger pointed at Genta, which should mean that the murderer has a certain connection with Genta.

Or is it Yuanta himself, or the connection that we all understand. It is this connection that made Mr. Rutger choose to point at Yuanta before he fell into a coma, leaving the two letters EL. We just need to follow this direction. "

"The connection between Yuantai and the criminal?" Everyone looked down at Yuantai who had a confused expression. Could they really gain anything from this?

Aoki Matsu nodded and said, "Mr. Rutger started talking to us less than a minute after Genta apologized to Mr. Kojima, so he must have seen the scene of us communicating with Mr. Kojima at that time.

As for the other two, none of us had seen Mr. Genda before he was brought here. As for Mr. Inagaki, although we may have seen him before, we were divided into three groups at that time, and we met Mr. Inagaki outside the underground parking lot when we went to buy cakes.

Genta was playing football alone next to the car, and he didn't know we had returned at that time. We couldn't be sure that Mr. Rutger, who had seen Mr. Inagaki like Genta, who had never been with him, would definitely not leave the final clue by pointing at Genta. "

"What a joke! Just because of this, you bastard kid, are you going to conclude that I am the murderer? What a joke! I can't possibly agree with this kind of situation without any evidence. Besides, I'm not the murderer you say I am." Hearing what Aoki Matsu said, it seemed like he wanted to put the title of the criminal on his head. Kojima Kanfu couldn't help but jump up and down, saying in a hoarse voice that he didn't accept this kind of "blame" without any actual evidence.

As if he had already felt that he had been exposed, Kojima Kanji's tone became a little impatient. "Hey, Mr. Officer, can you let me go back now?"

"That's right, I just happened to appear in this parking lot at that time. You should have no reason to keep me here." Genda Tatsuzo narrowed his eyes slightly behind his sunglasses. After realizing that Aoki Matsu and the others did not refute Kojima Mikishima immediately, he continued.

For the sake of his idol, even the socially anxious otaku couldn't help but argue with the police, "And... and, if we don't go now, the photo shoot will probably be over."
