My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 705 Someone Died While Driving a Car

Hattori Heiji used many persuasion, "threats" and "promises" and finally "cajoled" Toyama Kazuha into agreeing not to act with him.

However, because of this incident, it was already noon. They had not eaten breakfast and ran to the villa. Now they were extremely hungry and could not hold on until they returned to downtown Tokyo.

So they had a makeshift lunch here. After digesting the food, Aoki Matsu and his friends got into the car driven by Kogoro Mori and rushed back to Tokyo.

On the way back, Aoki Matsu looked out the car window boredly. Suddenly, a red car drove up from behind. After seeing it was Aoki Matsu, the woman in the passenger seat rolled down the window.

Miwako Sato: "Ah, isn't this Aoki-san?"

Aoki Song was startled, rolled down the car window, and asked curiously, "Sato, Takagi, why are you here?"

Miwako Sato said with a smile: "We are going to the Kanagawa Police Station to do some business. After I'm done, I'll let this driver take me back." As she said this, she pointed at Takagi Wataru who was in the driver's seat with a smile.

Then Sato Miwako asked curiously: "What about you guys? Have you encountered another case? Mr. Sleeping Kogoro."

Maori Kogoro smiled awkwardly when he heard this and said, "Yeah, almost."

"It looks like Aoki-san has solved the case." Sato Miwako said with a smile, "Well, we have to leave first as we have something urgent to do!"

After hearing what she said, Takagi Shigeru increased the speed of the car, and soon the distance between the two cars was getting farther and farther.

Maori Kogoro snorted coldly, but then he sighed and said, "Such a sensational case, even if we don't tell you, you will know it by reading tomorrow's newspaper."

Aoki Matsu shook his head and said, "Uncle Maori, you are wrong. I don't think it will appear in tomorrow's newspaper."

"Ah!?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned when he heard this.

Qing Musong smiled and said, "No one died in this incident. The murderer is a minor, so his name and photo cannot be released. There is also the matter of Dashu, who is even younger than him. The reporter who was stabbed would not be so low-EQ as to report this case."

"Oh!" Kogoro Mouri smiled awkwardly when he heard that.

Suddenly, he saw a car diagonally in front of him, scraping against the railing and sparks were flying.

Maori Kogoro looked at the car and frowned, saying, "Huh? What happened to that car? It scraped the guardrail, but it was still driving?"

The harsh crackling sound continued.

Qing Musong frowned, "Did the driver suddenly fall ill?"

He remembered seeing such news on the Internet in his previous life. In the end, the car was forced to stop by a car rushing to work before it rushed into the downtown area.

"If we continue like this, there will be a serious accident!" Maori Kogoro made a prompt decision, stepped on the accelerator, got behind the car and honked the horn, shouting: "Hey! Wake up! Wake up!"

When the cars were running side by side, everyone noticed that the driver of that car had his eyes closed and was nodding his head.

Aoki Matsu frowned. "He looks weird! Uncle Maori, drive the car in front of that car!"

Maori Kogoro was stunned, and did as he was told subconsciously, before he realized, "Hey, are you going to drive to the front?"

Qing Musong nodded and said, "After holding on to the front, slowly reduce the speed."

Kogoro Mouri: "Idiot! If you do that, my rental car will be——"

"Stop talking! Hurry up! Just ask the other party's family to reimburse you when the time comes." Aoki Matsu was speechless when he heard this. At this time, Maori Kogoro was still thinking about this.

There was no time to care about so many things at this time. Kogoro Mori was still kind-hearted, so he drove the car to the front to block the car behind as he was told.

"Bam—"

The car body shook violently.

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha both subconsciously protected their heads, bent down and took a collision-avoiding posture.

Finally, not long after, the two cars slowed down at the same time and finally stopped. Aoki Matsu and Maori Kogoro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

A yellow car at the rear also stopped at the end, and the short-haired woman in the driver's seat ran down hurriedly.

The short-haired woman immediately ran to where the car was forced to stop and shouted loudly: "Jun Ping, Jun Ping!"

She reached straight into the car.

Qing Musong happened to get off the car and saw this scene, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, don't touch him!"

"Please step back." After stopping the woman, Aoki Matsu and Maori Kogoro looked inside the car at the same time.

The short-haired woman asked in confusion: "Who are you two?"

At this time, neither Aoki Matsu nor Maori Kogoro responded. After looking at the situation inside the car, they both frowned at the same time.

"Oh no." Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in shock as he looked inside the car.

Qing Musong reached out and touched the artery on the man's neck, then shook his head and said, "He's dead..."

By the time Mao Li Ran and Toyama Kazuha came over, Aoki Matsu had already judged that it was over.

Mao Lilan asked in confusion: "Brother Aoki, what's going on?"

Aoki Matsu did not answer Mao Lilan's words, but immediately took out his mobile phone and called Sato Miwako. There was a toll booth one kilometer ahead, and asked her to block it. In addition, he called Inspector Megure and asked him to send someone to support him.

Yuanshan Heye saw Qing Mu Song hung up the phone and asked curiously: "Brother Qing Mu, what are you doing?"

Qing Musong said seriously: "Someone died. The driver of this car died, and he was strangled to death."

The short-haired woman exclaimed, "What?!"

"Strangled to death?" asked Kogoro Mori in surprise.

Because of the presence of detective Matsu Aoki, Kogoro Mori was tactful enough not to go forward to check.

Qing Musong nodded. "Yes, while the car was moving, inside this secret room."

Then Aoki Matsu and others walked to the toll station.

After seeing Aoki Song, Sato Miwako came over and reported: "Inspector Aoki, I have blocked the passage of the toll booth as you said. By the way, is there really someone who died in a moving vehicle?"

Maori Kogoro also echoed: "Yes, it seems that he was strangled to death."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru asked, "So, could the person in the same car with him be the murderer?"

Qing Musong shook his head. "No, the weird thing is that there was only one person driving the car."

Miwako Sato showed an expression of disbelief when she heard this: "How is that possible?"

Not only Sato Miwako didn't believe it, Takagi Wataru also obviously didn't believe it, "How could it be possible to strangle the driver's neck while the car was moving?"

Maori Kogoro also shook his head and said, "Who knows."

"I just checked the victim's body and there was still some body temperature left, so the murderer should be nearby," Aoki Matsu explained.

Sato Miwako suddenly realized: "That's why we have to block the toll booth one kilometer away from the crime scene. This way we can definitely catch the murderer."

Qing Musong nodded. "That's right. Let's go check these vehicles now and try to narrow down the suspects."

"Yes!" Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru responded quickly.

After Maori Kogoro and the other two left, Takagi Wataru asked in a low voice: "Inspector Aoki, there are about 100 cars here. How can we narrow the scope?"

"Leaving aside the modus operandi, no matter what method the murderer used, he had to prepare in advance and must have been on the highway almost at the same time as the victim in order to commit the crime," Aoki Matsu explained.

Upon hearing this, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi both nodded, it was indeed true.

"Let's first check the vehicles that entered the highway from the same entrance as the victim," said Takagi Shigeru.

Aoki Matsu nodded.

Miwako Sato poured cold water on her words. "But is this true? Although you can check the pass you get at the entrance of the expressway as evidence, there is now a so-called ETC system, which allows you to pass through toll booths without a pass, right?"

Aoki Matsu said: "At least now we can confirm that the victim came from the same entrance as us. I just saw that the ETC machine there has been broken down since today, so we can only use the general channel for issuing passes."

Takagi Wataru's eyes lit up when he heard that. "I see. So we can target the person who holds the pass to that entrance, right?"

Aoki Matsu nodded. "And after checking the victim's pass, I found that the victim drove onto the highway an hour earlier than us."

"One hour?!" Sato Miwako was a little surprised.

Aoki Matsu guessed, "Maybe he ate at a rest stop along the way. In other words, not only did he get on the highway from the same entrance at the same time, but the victim also drove a car near him after resting at the rest stop for an hour. Let's go and check."

"Yes!" Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru responded.

Soon the three of them checked 100 vehicles and found three suspects.

【Here it comes, choose one of the three classics. 】

Aoki Matsu complained in his heart.

Then he questioned the three people as usual.

The first one was the short-haired woman who came with Aoki Matsu. Her name was Mizobata Riko.

Mizobata Riko said nervously, "I was just driving on the highway with Junping, because the dead Junping was my boyfriend."

Hearing this, Takagi Wataru asked in confusion, "You said you were going for a ride, but you were driving your own car by yourself, right?"

Mizobata Riko said as a matter of course: "Yes, Junping and I both like to drive our own cars for a spin, is that not okay?"

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako asked, "Did you also make an appointment with the victim before entering the rest stop?"

Mizobata Riko shook her head. "No, Junping said he suddenly felt very sleepy and wanted to sleep for an hour. I had no choice but to kill time in the restaurant at the rest stop before waking him up."

Takagi Wataru hurriedly took out a small notebook and took notes.

"I see." Qing Musong looked at the other two suspects and said, "So what are you two doing at the rest stop?"

The tall blond man replied unhappily, "Humph, I went to the rest stop to eat and rest because I was hungry."

Qing Musong looked at another short, fat, middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking a bit cowardly: "Oh, what about you?"

The short and fat man replied, "Ah... I was driving and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my stomach, so I went to the restroom at the rest stop."

The blond man interrupted at this time: "We have heard that someone seems to have died in the car, but it has nothing to do with us."

The short and fat man also echoed: "I, I also think that it should be just a stranger."

Mizobata Riko looked at the two men angrily upon hearing this, "You are lying! You two are obviously very familiar with Jun Ping!"

The words he just said were punctured by someone, and the blond man looked a little annoyed. "Huh?"

Mizobata Riko pointed at the blond man and said, "Atsuo Tadada, you are the leader of the Black Stars team that competes with Gunpeira's team!"

Then Mizobata Riko looked at the short and fat man and said, "And you, Taishi Shimojima, are the member of the Gunping team who died in a car accident a while ago. Isn't that Zhang's father?"

Both of them felt a little guilty and turned their heads away.

Miwako Sato suddenly remembered something when she heard this. "Wait a minute, is the victim that Kojo Gunpei? The former leader of the Red Comets, a race car gang based in western Tokyo?"

Mizobata Riko nodded: "Yes, although the color of my hair has been washed off and my beard has been shaved off."

Maori Kogoro also said with a nostalgic look on his face: "Speaking of Red Comets... I heard that the leader resigned in order to take responsibility for a certain accident."

Mizobata Riko lowered her head slightly, looking a little sad: "That's why he said this was the last ride, just to let the car run one more time. Unexpectedly, this person followed behind Gunping's car, and kept trying to overtake by force! Maybe it's because he never won on the mountain road, so he can't swallow this breath!" At the end, she stared at Tadada Atsuo aggressively and said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Atsuo Tadada said excitedly: "Stop talking nonsense! If you want to blame someone, blame that guy for winning so many times. He said he would retire and I just wanted to provoke him. However, he didn't respond at all, so I passed him. It turned out that he was just going for a lovey-dovey ride with the woman he had broken up with..."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Atsuo Tadada, the woman turned to Shimojima Taizhi: "This guy honked the horn several times behind us!"

Shimojima Taizhi quickly explained, "Well, that's because, after that guy overtook me, I was driving behind Junping's car. He suddenly slowed down and was about to hit me, so I subconsciously honked the horn. Later, I saw Junping drive into the overtaking lane to catch up with his car, so I honked the horn again."

He began to recall: "On the day of my son's funeral, Mr. Jun Ping swore to me that he was 'determined to quit the drag racing gang', so I was furious when I saw this scene before, so I honked the horn. Not long after that, I found that Jun Ping's driving style suddenly became very strange. He clearly drove into the overtaking lane, but he didn't overtake. After driving for a while, the car body began to hit the guardrail..."

Before he could finish, Maori Kogoro hurriedly took credit, "Fortunately, I made the right judgment at the beginning and quickly noticed his abnormality! I drove in front of his car, slowed down the speed, and forced him to stop. That's why I found the victim who was strangled to death."
