My neighbor's name is Conan

Seeing that Enomoto Azusa had calmed down, Aoki Matsu repeated the previous topic, "Has your brother contacted you in the past two days?"

Azusa Enomoto shook her head, "No!" But she quickly remembered something, "Oh, he sent me a strange photo last night."

"Strange photo?" Qing Musong asked curiously, "Can I see it?"

"Sure." Enomoto Azusa took out his cell phone, pulled out a photo and handed it to Aoki Matsu to see.

In the photo, Sugito Enomoto is wearing a long-necked sweater and a coat, smiling happily at the camera. The background seems to be on the balcony of a residential house, because there is a circular clothes drying rack with multiple clips in the upper right corner. In addition, there are residential buildings further away, and there are snowflakes in the sky outside.

The reason why Azusa Enomoto said it was strange is because Sugito Enomoto commented on this photo "ドテラを着て気ドツテラ", which means: wearing tights.

Does this picture have anything to do with "wearing tights"?

No!

That's why it feels strange.

The photo isn't weird, the comment is.

"Snow, is it snowing tonight?" Aoki Matsu asked, then looked at Enomoto Azusa and asked, "Do you know where your brother is in the photo?"

"It's on the balcony of his apartment." Enomoto Azusa replied, "It seems to be raining heavily. My brother said that he would also send messages to Mr. Kawase. Brother Aoki, can you imagine that the person who would send such a message is actually a murderer?"

Qing Musong thought for a moment and said, "It's not uncommon for people to have very different appearances and inner thoughts. But what I care about is that the time when this text message was sent was exactly the time range of the victim's death.

Today's weather forecast did not mention snow! If this snow was an accident and the weather forecast did not mention it, then it can be proved that Sugito Enomoto was in his apartment at the time, and he could not have gone to the victim's house to kill the victim because he did not have enough time.

Aihara, go check where it will snow tonight, whether there is a weather forecast, when it will snow, and how long it will last."

Upon hearing this, Aihara Yoji responded, “Yes!”

Upon hearing this, Azusa Enomoto asked happily: "Brother Aoki, does this prove that my brother is not the murderer?!"

"I can only say that this is indeed a piece of evidence, but whether it can prove your brother's innocence still needs to be verified." Qing Musong said, and then asked: "By the way, who is Mr. Kawase you are talking about?"

Azusa Enomoto replied, "Mr. Kawase, his name is Kawase Touji, and he is my brother's colleague in the company. Since he was transferred to the same department in the company last month, my brother and he seem to have suddenly become good friends, and recently he often stays at my brother's apartment because it is very close to the company."

At this moment, Qing Musong's cell phone rang, and he quickly answered it. "Hello."

"Inspector Aoki, we found a white shirt stained with blood in the garbage dump near Sugi Enomoto's house." said the detective on the other end of the phone.

"Take a photo and send it over, then take the white shirt back and have it identified by the Forensic Department," Aoki Matsu ordered.

"Yes!" the criminal replied.

After a while, the photos were sent over.

Qing Musong opened the photo and saw that the white shirt in the photo was unfolded and the entire white shirt was stained with blood.

There's nothing wrong with the photo, and you can't tell anything from the white shirt.

At this time, Aihara Yoji came back and said excitedly: "Inspector, it snowed heavily in Kanagawa for an hour from 22pm to 23pm last night. Because it was a sudden heavy snowfall and there was no weather forecast, it also paralyzed the traffic in Kanagawa.

By the way, Chiba-san happened to rush back to Tokyo from Kanagawa at that time yesterday. I called him and asked him. It was true that the traffic in Kanagawa was paralyzed due to heavy snow last night, so he didn't get home until the early hours of yesterday morning. Enomoto Sugito didn't have the time to commit the crime, so he is not the murderer. "

"Great!" Enomoto Azusa was very happy to hear this and quickly said, "I told you, my brother can't be the murderer."

At this moment, Qing Musong's expression was a little solemn and his brows were furrowed.

Seeing this, Azusa Enomoto was stunned, and then asked nervously: "Brother Aoki, don't you think my brother is not the murderer?"

"No!" Qing Musong shook his head. "It's not that I don't believe your brother is not the murderer, but I'm wondering where your brother is now?"

Then Qing Musong said with some concern: "We didn't find him in his apartment, and he didn't go to work at the company, but we found a blood-stained white shirt near his apartment, but he is not the murderer. So where do you think he is now?"

Although Enomoto Azusa couldn't think of anything, after hearing what Aoki Matsu said, she felt that her brother's current condition might not be very good, and her little face suddenly turned pale.

After hearing this, Yoji Aihara thought about it and said with a frown: "Inspector, what you mean is that Sugito Enomoto might have been imprisoned by the real murderer? Or..." killed by the murderer.

However, seeing that Enomoto Azusa was already in a shaky situation, Aihara Yoji had high emotional intelligence and did not make such a cruel guess.

"It's possible." Aoki Matsu nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "If the murderer is not Sugito Enomoto, then our previous thinking is completely wrong. The murderer intended to make Sugito Enomoto his scapegoat. But he never expected that Sugito Enomoto would take a photo for Xiaozi because of the sudden heavy snow in Kanagawa, which proved Sugito Enomoto's innocence."

At this time, Aoki Matsu looked at Enomoto Azusa and asked, "Xiao Azusa, do you know who hates your brother, or who your brother has offended?"

Azusa Enomoto thought for a moment and then shook her head. "No, my brother always tells me good news but not bad news. And my brother has a good temper, I don't think he would offend anyone."

"That's going to be troublesome." Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and told Aihara Yoji, "Go find people who have connections with both the victim and Enomoto Sugito, especially those who have grievances with both."

"Yes!" replied Aihara Yoji.

Then Aoki Matsu looked at Enomoto Azusa and ordered, "Xiao Azusa, listen to me. Your brother's situation is unclear now. I don't know whether he noticed something in advance and ran away, or was caught by the murderer. But this photo on your phone is the most important evidence to clear his suspicion. So you are very important now."

Azusa Enomoto was a little surprised when he heard this, and pointed at himself, "Me?"

"That's right!" Qing Musong nodded. "If your brother was not caught by the murderer, but just ran away because he was scared of becoming the police's first suspect, he would definitely contact you again. You must calm him down and let him cooperate with our police action.

If your brother has been caught by the murderer, I think the murderer will most likely find this photo. Since the murderer wants to use your brother as a scapegoat instead of running away directly, there must be a reason why he doesn't want to leave here. So he will definitely pretend to be your brother, send you a text message, ask you to take your phone out, and then arrest you to completely destroy the evidence. "

Upon hearing this, Azusa Enomoto's face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Aoki Matsu and asked, "Brother Aoki, what do you want me to do?"

"If you receive this information, you must inform me immediately so that I can send someone to capture the other party and rescue your brother. In addition, I want a female detective to follow you openly to ensure your safety." Aoki Matsu said.

Azusa Enomoto has already stepped out of the ivory tower and is working in society, so she naturally won't rebel. Upon hearing this, she quickly responded, "Okay, thank you, Brother Aoki. I'll leave my brother to you."

After saying this, Enomoto Azusa knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Aoki Matsu.

"Xiao Zi, you don't have to be like this, get up quickly." Qing Mu Song quickly stopped Enomoto Zi's behavior. "Don't worry, I will definitely find your brother."

After a pause, he warned, "Xiao Zi, in order to deceive the murderer, I will tell the public that Enomoto Sugito is the biggest suspect in this case. He is very likely the murderer. After you hear this news, don't tell the truth."

"Don't worry, Brother Aoki, I know the seriousness of the matter. For my brother's sake, I won't say anything careless." Enomoto Azusa said seriously.

After Aoki Matsu and Enomoto Azusa agreed, they called Inspector Megure, told him the current situation of the case, and asked him to transfer Sato Miwako over.

In fact, Aoki Matsu had the authority to directly transfer Sato Miwako, but on the surface, the Third Section of the Investigation Division 1 was under the jurisdiction of Inspector Megure, so it was always a bit inappropriate for him to transfer people without Inspector Megure.

Although Inspector Megure, a good guy, probably won't care about it, but people around him will see this kind of thing, so he still needs to be careful.

Not long after, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru came over.

Aoki Matsu explained the situation to the two of them, and then Sato Miwako was responsible for close surveillance and protection of Enomoto Azusa, while Takagi Shigeru and other criminals assisted Sato Miwako downstairs.

Just as Aoki Matsu was about to leave Enomoto Azusa's house, his cell phone rang again. It was Detective Tomi from the Forensic Department calling.

"Inspector Aoki, we found Sugito Enomoto's fingerprints on the buttons of that blood-stained white shirt." Detective Tomi said.

Qing Musong was delighted when he heard this, and then responded: "I know, thank you for your hard work."

When Aoki Matsu hung up the phone, he found that Enomoto Azusa, Sato Miwako and others were looking at him.

Aoki Matsu said quickly: "The forensic department just called and they found the fingerprints of Sugito Enomoto on the white shirt."

Miwako Sato frowned, "But hasn't Sugito Enomoto been proven not to be the murderer?"

Aoki Matsu nodded. "So there are his fingerprints on the white shirt. There is only one possibility. That is, the murderer can secretly take away Sugito Enomoto's clothes without being discovered by him, or even if he is discovered, it will not arouse Sugito Enomoto's suspicion."

"In that case, the murderer must be a friend or relative of Sugito Enomoto, who had the opportunity to take his clothes and would have an excuse even if he was discovered," said Miwako Sato.

Aoki Matsu nodded, "I already have a suspect in mind."

Aihara Yoji quickly asked, "Who?"

"Kawase Touji!" Aoki Matsu announced the answer, and then explained: "Xiao Zi said that he was a colleague of Enomoto Sugito. Since he was a colleague, the victim must be his boss.

Xiao Zi also said that he and Sugito Enomoto suddenly became good friends after they were transferred to the same department as Sugito Enomoto last month, and he often stayed at Sugito Enomoto's apartment recently, so he had the opportunity to steal Sugito Enomoto's white shirt.

And he also completely fits what I said before, that he had contacts with both the victim and Sugito Enomoto. In addition, after becoming friends with Sugito Enomoto for a short period of time, he proposed to stay at his house, which is a bit like picking a scapegoat and immediately committing a crime. "

Although the Japanese in cartoons appear to be very warm and often stay at their good friends' homes, in reality they are actually quite cold.

Moreover, there is a traditional custom in Japanese society, which is to try not to trouble others.

That's why after becoming friends, he proposed to stay at each other's house, and he has been going there frequently recently. This is a bit abnormal in the reality of Japanese society.

Miwako Sato and others nodded after hearing what Matsu Aoki said.

"He is indeed suspicious."

"Aihara, go to the telecommunications company and check the call records of Sugito Enomoto and Toru Kawase." Aoki Matsu ordered, "If Toru Kawase is the murderer, then after committing the crime, he would definitely call Sugito Enomoto and trick him into coming out." He paused and said, "Check the victim's call records as well."

"Yes!" Aihara Yoji responded quickly.

Afterwards, Aoki Matsu called Inspector Megure again and asked him to coordinate the matter with the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Headquarters to find Kawase Toru and put him under surveillance after finding him.

Because just now Enomoto Azusa said that when Enomoto Sugito sent the photo to her, he also sent the photo to Kawase Toru. As long as Kawase Toru was not blind, he would be able to find the problem.

So now Toru Kawase only has two choices left, either to escape immediately after this, or to trick Azusa Enomoto out, kill her and then destroy the phone.

Judging from the fact that Kawase Toruji tried so hard to make Enomoto Sugito his scapegoat, and from the perspective of science, after all, Enomoto Azusa is also a famous supporting role, her brother will be fine. So Kawase Toruji's choice is likely to be the latter.

As for why it is surveillance rather than arrest.

Because there is no hard evidence.

That photo can only prove that Sugito Enomoto did not have the time to commit the crime, but it cannot prove that Toru Kawase was the murderer.

In this case, we have to use fishing enforcement, using Enomoto Azusa as the "bait" to lure out Kawase Touji.

Except for Miwako Sato who was left here to protect Azusa Enomoto, everyone else went to investigate.

Aoki Matsuya returned to the Metropolitan Police Department.

After a while, Yoji Aihara brought the call records of Sugito Enomoto, Toru Kawase, and Takafumi Toridara's cell phones and landlines.

There was nothing unusual in the call records of the victim, Takafumi Toriihara.

Surprisingly, there was nothing unusual in Toru Kawase's call records.

But it was different for Sugito Enomoto. When the incident happened yesterday, he did send a photo to Toru Kawase and Azusa Enomoto respectively.

Both Toru Kawase and Azusa Enomoto responded.

In addition to this, at 9 o'clock this morning, a call was made from a telephone booth number to Sugito Enomoto's home phone, and Sugito Enomoto answered the call.

After that, Sugito Enomoto's cell phone made calls to two telephone booth numbers.
