My neighbor's name is Conan

What did Kyoko Takahata do at Itsushi Soejima's house?

Destroy evidence?

But the police didn’t find anything in Fukujima’s house before!

When Aoki Matsu and others arrived at the door of Itsuki Soejima's apartment, Takahata Kyoko had not come out yet.

So, Aoki Matsu and others went straight upstairs.

When he arrived at Itshiro Soejima's house, he did not knock, but waited at the door.

After waiting for a while, he blocked Takahata Kyouko who was pushing the door open.

"Ms. Takahata, why are you here so late?" Aoki Matsu asked Takahata Kyoko.

Takahata Kyoko was very surprised to see Aoki Matsu and others. Facing Aoki Matsu's question, she subconsciously asked back: "Is it not okay for me to come here?"

"That's indeed not possible, because this is still the scene of the crime. The case of Mr. Soejima's death has not been closed yet, and this place is still under protection." After Aoki Matsu finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "Or... Miss Takahata came here to destroy the evidence?"

Takahata Kyoko's face turned a little ugly when she heard this, but she still argued: "What do you mean by destroying evidence? Yilang's death was an accident!"

"Mr. Fuejima's death seemed to be an accident, but it was actually an indirect intentional homicide with a 9% success rate." Aoki Matsu looked at Takahata Kyoko and said, "The Beika Town Police Headquarters caught a serial burglar this evening. He confessed that at : this morning, he broke into Miss Takahata's house, preparing to steal, and then saw a fatal accident.

When he climbed up to the second floor, someone suddenly walked in, and this person was Mr. Fuejima. When Mr. Fuejima opened the door, he said, "I am Ichiro... Big sister... What? You called me here but you are not here."

Then Mr. Fuejima saw the snacks and two bottles of wine neatly placed on the coffee table in the living room. Mr. Fuejima struggled for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I can't drink." Then he looked to the side and exclaimed, "No way."

The thief saw Mr. Fuejima struggle for a few minutes, but he still succumbed to the alcohol and drank the wine on the table. As a result, Mr. Fuejima was drunk not long after, and suddenly took out a gun from the cabinet to play with it. Just when he thought it was not good, a gunshot was heard, and the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the living room was knocked down, killing Mr. Fuejima below.

Seeing this, the thief was frightened and hurriedly stole Mr. Fuejima's phone and wallet, which fell on the ground, and ran away. So Mr. Fuejima's death seemed to be an accident, but in fact everything was planned. This is no longer a crime of mismanagement causing the shotgun to go off, but a crime of intentional homicide!"

After listening to this, Takahata Kyoko argued: "All this is just the one-sided words of the thief. You police actually trusted the words of a thief."

"We certainly wouldn't just trust the words of a thief, so we checked Mr. Soejima's phone." Aoki Matsu took the screenshot of the text message handed over by Maruta Ayumi and shoved it in front of Takahata Kyoko. "This is the content of the text messages you two sent at the time. You sent a text message to Mr. Soejima at around 9 o'clock asking him to come to your house, and you were already in the coffee shop at that time.

After receiving Mr. Fuejima's reply, you did not return immediately, nor did you contact him by phone or text message to inform him that you would not be home in half an hour and ask him to come later. Instead, you deliberately left him alone in your villa. And..."

Aoki Matsu looked at Takahata Kyoko and continued, "If you don't care about Mr. Soejima's phone, why are you here now? You came here to find Mr. Soejima's phone and delete the text messages. After all, the telecommunications company can't check the content of the text messages."

Takahata Kyoko's face turned even uglier when she heard that, but she still argued, "That's not the case. I came here just to get back my sister's belongings. As for why I asked him to come over but didn't go back, I was just deliberately leaving him alone to temper his temper."

"Ms. Takahata, let me remind you that you didn't say that this morning." Aoki Matsu looked at Takahata Kyoko and said, "We have all the records of what you said this morning.

Also, we have checked your online history. The content you browsed was all about murders and accidental deaths. Some of the cases were exactly the same as the accidents that happened to Mr. Fuejima before. And what's even more coincidental is that Mr. Fuejima's accidents happened after you looked up the relevant cases. "

As he spoke, Aoki Matsu showed Takahata Kyoko the information that Noah's Ark had found.

Takahata Kyoko looked at the evidence in Aoki Matsu's hand in shock, and her heart suddenly became panicked, as if she had been seen through.

Aoki Matsu continued, "Ms. Takahata, you probably blamed Mr. Fuejima for your sister's death and wanted him to die as well. But you didn't want to be punished by law because of such a bad person as him, so you committed this indirect deliberate crime.

You did not kill Mr. Soejima directly with a knife, but you made Mr. Soejima go to places where accidents often happen and do things that often lead to accidents.

As long as it happens too many times, even if Mr. Fuejima is lucky, there will always be an accident that can take his life. So what seems to be an accidental accident is actually a deliberate design that can kill people 100% of the time. "

Takahata Kyoko couldn't hold it in any longer this time. She suddenly looked up at the people blocking the door and said angrily, "You don't know how much pain that man made Xiao Shiori suffer. He deserved his death!"

"Ms. Takahata, you admit that you deliberately designed the death of Mr. Soejima." Maruta Ayumi asked hurriedly.

"Yes! I designed it on purpose. But if he could really change as he promised my sister, he wouldn't have had accidents again and again because of drunkenness." Takahata Kyoko said angrily: "He is a dog that can't change its eating shit. He obviously promised again and again, but he would still get drunk afterwards.

Because of him, my sister didn’t find out she was sick in time and died young. I hate him and I wish he would die immediately. My sister died because of him, but he still didn’t repent and would still get drunk... Woohoo... I feel sorry for my sister..."

"Take it away." Aoki Matsu ordered.

Upon hearing this, Maruta Ayumi went up and brought Takahata Kyoko with her.

As for how the case will be finally judged, that is the court’s business. Let the court worry about it.

On the contrary...

"Aoki, this case is handed over to Maruta, you..." Inspector Megure said to Aoki Matsu with a headache.

Aoki Matsu smiled and said, "Hey, Inspector, don't worry about these details. It's good as long as the case is solved. And..." Aoki Matsu looked around and found no one, then he leaned over to Inspector Megure's ear and whispered, "Inspector, do you think Maruta has some bad luck? This case is a rare indirect intentional crime case."

After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, Inspector Megure thought about Maruta Ayumi's "great achievements" and felt that he was really unlucky. He couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

"How about letting him change departments?" Qing Musong suggested, "If he keeps going like this, he won't be able to lead the team out alone."

The investigation department has three departments. What is needed is not police officers who run errands for the subordinates, but criminals who can take charge of the work independently.

Although Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu often follow Inspector Megure, Aoki Matsu, Shiratori Jinsaburo, Sato Miwako and others, they have actually handled cases alone many times and have achieved quite a few results.

Maruta Ayumi does have some abilities, but she's just unlucky.

It’s better to try another department, maybe you won’t have such bad luck.

The reason why Aoki Matsu thought so was mainly because the cases that brought bad luck to Maruta Ayumi were all cases in which Conan was involved. In the world of science, the difficulty of these cases is indeed a little higher than that of everyday cases.

Then if Maruta Ayumi didn't encounter any cases involving Conan, would he not have such bad luck?

As for whether it is true or not, you won’t know until you try it.

Inspector Megure thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

Before Inspector Megure could think about it carefully, his superiors added more responsibilities to the Third Department of the Investigation Section 1.

"Five up?!" Aihara Yoji exclaimed, "They even stole from antique shops."

Aoki Matsu looked at the information in front of him. Beika Town had just caught a thief who broke into houses repeatedly, and right after that, a robber appeared who was targeting jewelry stores and antique shops to steal.

Beika Town is indeed the Big Gotham City!

Gotham City is a city with simple folk customs, and Beihua Town is a law-abiding city~

"It's indeed a bit strange. Usually robbers either only steal from jewelry stores. If the jewelry store is in a department store, they will steal some of the department store's merchandise as well. Or they only steal from antique shops." Sato Miwako said as she looked at the information.

The channels for selling antiques and jewelry are different. Of course, if it is a powerful "wine factory", it will definitely buy everything. But if it is a "wine factory", it will not steal continuously within a month.

Yes, five thefts occurred within a month, all in Beika Town.

This is also a bit abnormal.

Jewelry is easy to deal with, as you can put a lot of it in any plastic bag and carry it away in a backpack.

Five thefts in one month is not surprising.

But antiques take up a large area, and some are fragile, so they need to be handled with care and not squeezed or bumped.

There are quite a few antiques listed in the information.

This made Aoki Matsu understand why a case that was clearly the responsibility of the Second Investigation Section was given to them for joint investigation.

"Is there any news about the sale of stolen goods from the Second Investigation Section?" Aoki Matsu looked at Nakamori Ginzo and asked.

The unlucky guy Ginzo Nakamori was sent by Investigation Section 2 to answer the questions.

Nakamori Ginzo said with a gloomy face: "No." If there was, they would have caught the other party long ago.

"No suspects?" asked Inspector Megure.

Nakamori Ginzo shook his head. "No. Nothing. We only know that the other party committed the crime at night and took away all the things in one night. However, the scope of their activities should not be large, because the cameras at the intersection did not capture any suspicious people or vehicles at all."

Aoki Matsu thought about it and asked Aihara Yoji to get the map of Beika Town.

Then the five stolen locations were marked.

Looking at the map, the five places are indeed not too far away, all in the southeast direction of Beika Town.

Then Aoki Matsu marked out the intersections where the Ministry of Transportation had installed cameras nearby, and then he was able to roughly draw a range where the robber might have been active.

"How did the criminal leave through five streets?" Maruta Ayumi said with a frown.

Nakamori Ginzo frowned and said, "So we suspected that it was someone living here who did it, but after sending people to monitor it, nothing unusual was found."

If it was done by someone here, then there would be a house where they could have kept the stolen items, so it was not captured by the camera at the intersection.

"This area is the residential area of ​​Beika Town. It's full of single-family houses and detached villas. The residents are not short of money, so it's impossible for them to steal. Even if they are short of money, they can sell the house and have money. There's no need to do such a thing." Aoki Matsu said.

For example, it is no problem for Kogoro Mori's family to sell for 80 million to 100 million yen. It is no problem for the Kudo Shinji family to sell for around 500 million yen.

Such a sum of money can solve many problems in Neon.

Could it be the person who rented the house?

But few people come to rent this area.

Although there are no problems with the supporting facilities, there are no high-rise buildings or industrial parks, and there are not that many new jobs.

"So there are no clues in this case and we can't investigate it." Nakamori Ginzo said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"What about the theft scene?" asked Inspector Megure.

Nakamori Ginzo shook his head. "The criminal was very professional. He must have worn gloves and foot covers. He didn't find anything."

In other words, apart from the valuables that disappeared, nothing else was left.

No, you can’t say that either.

The robber also left behind a clue, which is that he has a great ability to unlock things.

There were five places, and the locks of the jewelry store and the antique shop were all anti-theft locks that were difficult to unlock, and the brands and models were all different. Unexpectedly, the other party unlocked them all, and then went in and looted everything.

However, most people who have this ability will not shout it out to the whole world to know about it, and it is difficult to find out who has it, so it is difficult to know where to start.

I can't tell anything from the data.

Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and said, "Inspector, I want to go to the scene and check it out."

See if there are any clues.

After all, ever since he had worked with the Second Investigation Section once, Aoki Matsu had been full of distrust towards the police officers of the Second Investigation Section.

Damn it, the clues were right in front of us, but we didn’t even report them.

Aoki Matsu is really impressed.

So when Ginzo Nakamori said that he couldn't find any clues, Aoki Matsu didn't believe it at all. He wanted to go and see for himself before drawing any conclusion.

Is it true that they can’t find it, or are the police officers from the Second Investigation Section blind?

However, this time Aoki Matsu wrongly blamed the police officers from Investigation Section 2. After checking five scenes, Aoki Matsu found nothing just like them.

These five jewelry stores and antique shops did not even have surveillance cameras installed, which really made Qingmu Song at a loss for words.

This lesson is big enough.

I hope they learn from their experience and take a cue from Lawson convenience stores, which install surveillance cameras inside and outside their stores.
