My neighbor's name is Conan

Aoki Matsu had no intention of disrespecting the deceased. He was just reasonably suspicious of everyone before finding any evidence.

Apparently Conan thought so too, because he said the next second, "It must be very scary here at night! Because there is not even a little light."

"That's right!" Mao Lilan looked around and agreed.

Maori Kogoro was startled when he heard this, and he looked around and said with a look of doubt: "It should be pitch black here at night."

Can you see the tree and hang yourself successfully?

"Yes, so there was a flashlight at the feet of Mr. Gamo's body," explained Maruta Ayumi.

Maori Kogoro immediately asked back after hearing this: "Then why did you specially prepare these things and come all the way from home to a place like this? You can commit suicide at home if you want."

Aoki Matsu agreed, "Detective Mori is right about that."

"There must be a reason that made him appear in this place, the murderer's reason." Kogoro Mouri said thoughtfully, holding his chin.

"Murderer!?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Kogoro Mouri.

"Inspector Aoki, this is a homicide." Kogoro Mouri looked at Matsu Aoki and said.

"He was murdered!" Everyone was shocked again.

Conan's mouth corners slightly raised when he heard this, and he looked at Maori Kogoro with a smile.

Aoki Matsu raised his eyebrows and looked at Maori Kogoro and asked, "What's the reason?"

Although Qing Mu Song also felt that this case was a homicide, that was all science and could not be used as evidence.

"Mr. Gamo's last phone call to me last night, in which he told me 'I'm hopeless', was cleverly used by the murderer. The whole thing was to make it look like suicide," said Kogoro Mori.

Qing Musong rolled his eyes when he heard this. What kind of reason is this? It's all nonsense.

However, he had already determined that this case was a homicide, so he followed Kogoro Mori's words and led the team to Gamo Ryozo's home to search the Gamo family.

After a cursory search, nothing was found, so a more detailed search was conducted.

Seeing this, Kyosuke Arai couldn't help but say, "It's useless even if you do this."

"But we can't completely rule out the possibility of homicide." Aoki Matsu looked at him and said, "If Detective Maori's reasoning is correct, the murderer should have been here last night."

"Brother Aoki!" At this moment Conan suddenly ran over and called Aoki Matsu.

"What's wrong, Conan?" Aoki Matsu responded.

Conan pointed at something and said, "Brother Aoki, look at that. Mr. Gamo seems to have a letter from the bread company responding to the complaint."

"A letter of complaint." Upon hearing this, Qing Musong walked over and took a look. It was an envelope.

I opened it directly and found a letter inside.

"We received a harsh phone call from you a few days ago regarding our product 'Smiling Red Bean Bread'. We have dealt with your complaint. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us." Aoki Matsu read out the contents of the letter.

Maori Kogoro said, "It's just a complaint about bread. It shouldn't be a motive for murder."

Kyosuke Arai spoke again at this time, "Mr. Maori, how long will you insist on your judgment of homicide?"

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu glanced at Kyosuke Arai. For some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with Kyosuke Arai's attitude, as if he was a little - impatient!

[Dear, your expression and attitude are very unnatural! ]

Could it be that Kyosuke Arai is the murderer?

As for the motive, the nephew might have killed his uncle because of money. After all, there was such a case before.

People who are crazy about poverty, for their own ideals, will always feel resentful towards their rich relatives who don't lend them money. Once they have a wrong idea, they will take risks and do it without hesitation...

There is also Suzuki Sonoko's brother-in-law. In the case of the Tozawa family, the son wanted to kill his father for money and then frame his brother.

Maori Kogoro looked at Arai Kyosuke and said seriously, "Until everyone accepts it."

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Arai's tone and attitude became very excited and angry, and he shouted at Maori Kogoro: "My uncle committed suicide."

After yelling, Arai Kyosuke seemed to realize that he was a little anxious, and quickly restrained his expression, forcing himself to save face and whispered: "Of course, I can't say for sure now."

"Inspector!" At this time, Aihara Yoji walked in and whispered a few words in Aoki Matsu's ear. Aoki Matsu suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at Arai Kyosuke and said, "Mr. Arai, you and Mr. Gamo had a conflict recently, right?"

Kyosuke Arai's face suddenly changed, and he stammered, "No, it's nothing serious. It's just..."

"You came to borrow money from Mr. Gamo, but you were ruthlessly rejected by him, right?" Aoki Matsu said what Kyosuke Arai couldn't say.

"I..." Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Kyosuke Arai could only answer: "That's true, but I can't kill my uncle because of it."

"But if Mr. Gamo dies and has no children, you will be the first in line to inherit his estate." Aihara Yoji said to Kyosuke Arai.

"No, it's not me. It's really not me." Kyosuke Arai panicked and quickly protested his innocence.

Qing Musong looked at him and asked, "Then may I ask where you were between 7 and 9 last night? Is there anyone who can give you proof?"

"I was home alone." Arai Kyosuke answered immediately, but then said with a grim expression: "I live alone, and no one can prove to me that I was home at the time."

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu glanced at Aihara Yoji who was standing beside him, and then said, "Mr. Arai, in this situation, we can only trouble you to come with us and explain the situation."

"It's not me, I really am not the murderer!" Kyosuke Arai immediately cried out his injustice upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Aoki Song comforted him, "Mr. Arai, if you are not the murderer, we will not wrongly accuse you. Don't worry, what you need to do now is to calm down, think about Mr. Gamo's situation, and cooperate with our police investigation."

How could Kyosuke Arai calm down when he saw that he was being wrongly accused of being the murderer?

In the end, Aoki Matsu had no choice but to have Kyosuke Arai forcibly detained and brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department, where he was interrogated by professional criminal interrogators.

Aoki Matsu continued to search the Gamo family's home, but unfortunately he found no clues.

After completing the investigation, Aoki Matsu thought about it and did not return to the Metropolitan Police Department or go home. Instead, he went to the Josai Police Station to find Hisamoto Kan'go.

"Mr. Hisamoto, how's the case going?" asked Aoki Matsu.

Hisamoto Kango immediately replied: "The other party has confessed. He was the one who killed Kinugasa Ei."

"Who is the other party and why did he kill?" Qing Musong asked immediately after hearing this.

"The other party is from Hokkaido, his name is Saburo Watanabe. According to him, the reason he killed Kinugasa Eiichi was because Kinugasa Eiichi had cheated him of a treasure before. He only recently discovered Kinugasa Eiichi's identity, so he came to Tokyo to find Kinugasa Eiichi. As a result, Kinugasa Eiichi not only denied the incident but also humiliated him. So he got angry and picked up an ashtray and smashed it at Kinugasa Eiichi, killing him." Hisamoto Kan'go replied.

Qing Musong asked curiously, "What treasure?"

"Jet, also known as jet," Kumoto Kango replied, "is a very rare thing in the world, but it is a great material for carving. If you meet the right buyer, you may get a sky-high price."

This thing is very rare, but precisely because it is rare, it also means it is scarce, so it is sought after by some people.

"Is that so!" Aoki Matsu nodded, and once again felt in his heart that Maruta Ayumi was really unlucky.

This type of case is almost as difficult to handle as an indiscriminate murder case, because you have no idea about the relationship between the victim and the murderer, and you have no direction for the investigation.

"By the way!" Aoki Matsu looked at Hisamoto Kan'go and asked, "Excuse me, what are the details of the case five years ago involving Mr. Gamo attacking Mr. Kinugasa? Wasn't there an eyewitness? What about the alibi for Mr. Gamo that you found later? Did the eyewitness lie? And even if that's the case, Mr. Takeoka doesn't have to resign!"

If the police arrested the wrong person because the witness lied or mistook him for someone else.

Although this was a mistake, there is no need to resign!

As for why we are asking about this case, it is naturally because Takeoka Isao, a former criminal of the same class as Mori Kogoro, resigned because of Gamo Ryozo. From this point of view, Takeoka Isao has reason to hate Gamo Ryozo.

Hisamoto Kango was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Aoki Matsu to ask about the case five years ago. After hesitating for a moment, he finally answered: "It's because the eyewitness five years ago was Takeoka's wife, Mrs. Takeoka. They were college classmates and met in college and got married. Therefore, Takeoka believed her words and arrested Mr. Gamo.

But after being arrested, Mr. Gamo refused to plead guilty and even found someone to prove that he had a sufficient alibi. We had no choice but to release him. Because the witness was Takeoka's wife, Mr. Gamo used this relationship to threaten Takeoka after he was released. Takeoka had no choice but to resign.

After hearing this, Aoki Matsu understood why Takeoka Isao resigned, but he still had a question: "Did you only arrest Mr. Gamo at that time?"

"Yes." Hisamoto Kango replied, "Before we could arrest Mr. Arai, Mr. Gamo said he had an alibi, so we went to verify the truth of this. After we verified it and confirmed it was true, we did not arrest Mr. Arai."

That’s exactly how the process works.

only……

Aoki Matsu always felt that Mrs. Takeoka would not lie in the case five years ago. As the spouse of a criminal, she would be more cautious in this regard.

If Mrs. Takeoka was not lying, then the witness who provided proof of Gamo Ryozo's alibi was...

In fact, among the cases solved by Conan, there are two cases that were obviously avoided by the old thief Aoyama, and even if they were written about, they were not discussed in depth.

One is the case of forced sex, and the other is the case of rich people hiring someone to kill someone.

But in real life, these two types exist objectively.

The former is deliberately avoided, and although there have been a few cases of the latter, they were all superficial and remained on the surface.

Since there is hiring someone to kill someone, why can't there be paying witnesses to tell lies for you?

"The witness who provided proof of Mr. Gamo's alibi should have left his contact information and address here!" asked Aoki Matsu.

Kumoto Kango nodded, "Yes. Inspector Aoki, do you need it?"

"Of course!" Aoki Matsu nodded.

Hisamoto Kan'go quickly got up and went to look for it.

After Kumoto Kango gave him the witness's address and contact information, Aoki Matsu asked again, "Excuse me, are you still in touch with Takeoka-san? I want to talk to Mrs. Takeoka about the case from five years ago."

Hisamoto Kango shook his head and said, "No, we haven't been in touch since Takeoka resigned, and he has moved away. But some time ago, because of the murder of Mr. Kinugasa, I happened to hear someone say that Mrs. Takeoka had died of illness, but I'm not sure if it's true or not."

Qing Musong's eyes became fierce when he heard this!

In the case of the murder of Ryozo Gamo, Isao Takeoka was one of the suspects in Aoki Matsuko's mind.

If Mrs. Takeoka died, and died because she was upset because she thought she had recognized the wrong person and caused her lover to resign, Takeoka Isao would definitely turn evil.

Revenge for his wife!

Now that Gamo Ryozo is dead, if Takeoka Isao is the murderer, then his next target will be either Arai Kyosuke or that witness!

Thinking of this, Aoki Matsu asked someone to investigate the matter to see if Mrs. Takeoka had really died of illness. At the same time, he took people to the residence of the witness, Nishimura Akio. However, Aoki Matsu did not knock on the door directly at the first time, but asked someone to contact the police officer in the area.

Ask the other party to help verify whether Akio Nishimura is still living here.

The police officer was familiar with the situation and directly called the gatekeepers of several nearby apartments to inquire about the matter.

Soon, the gatekeeper of an apartment said that Akio Nishimura was still living in that apartment and had been there for several years. The gatekeeper naturally knew such an old resident.

Qing Musong thought for a moment after hearing this and asked, "Excuse me, do you know that he made a fortune about five years ago?"

If Nishimura Akio really gave false testimony to Gamo Ryozo, he must have made a fortune.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of getting rich, but five years ago, Nishimura-san did have a happy event. He got promoted and became a department manager."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu immediately asked someone to check the company where Nishimura Akio worked to see if there was any connection with Gamo Ryozo.

Not long after, it was discovered that the company where Nishimura Akio worked had no direct relationship with Gamo Ryozo and was not run by Gamo Ryozo's relatives or friends.

But five years ago, this company had a loan with Ryozo Gamo's financial company, which was the loan provided by Ryozo Gamo's financial company to this company.
