Furuya Rei: The sun falls into the arms of the moon

Chapter 90: Detectives' Nocturne - Development

"His purpose was just to find out which locker the key in her hand belonged to, wasn't it?"

Maori Kogoro looked at the dead woman and said, "That's right. We can just threaten her with a gun and change the meeting place, and then interrogate her."

"But he used a stun gun to stun her and tied her up in the toilet with tape. From this point of view, he should have wanted to hide in this place for a while."

"I didn't expect that in the end he would commit suicide with a pistol."

Maori Kogoro straightened up and put his hands on his hips, "I think it's because I, Maori Kogoro, came back earlier than he expected."

"He decided to give up on it all when he realized he couldn't escape."

It's just that the person who discovered this was not him.

Ms. Kenzuka Kei recalled, "He looked very anxious and said that it would be troublesome if we didn't find the locker quickly."

"But, Ms. Kenzuka, you really don't know that man and have never seen him?"

"Yes, I don't know him at all."

"Because if the man's goal that night was the key to your brother's relics, then the possibility that he knew your brother is very high."

"But I don't know many of my brother's friends."

Toru Amuro asked from her right, "Can I ask how your brother died?"

Seeing that she didn't respond, Amuro Toru raised his voice a little, "May I ask what was the cause of your brother's death?"

Miss Kenzuka Kei turned around and looked at Amuro Toru. Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment and lowered his voice, "May I ask what caused your brother's death?"

"Yes, it's because of the accident four days ago."

She pulled out her phone and showed them her screen, which contained their photo.

"This person is my brother."

Amuro Toru was a little confused, "It's set to the screen of the mobile phone."

Lingzi curled her lips, he had seen her phone!

Toru Amuro naturally thought of this as well.

Conan looked at the man with some confusion.

"While we're on the subject of phones, the phone of the man who committed suicide seems a little strange."

"Why is it weird?"

"Except for the text message sent by Ms. Kazuka Kei to you, Mr. Mori, indicating that you wanted to change your location, there is no record of any other transmissions."

"what?"

"Because the text message that the man sent later was sent using my phone."

"Even so, there is only one new text message in the sent history. The address book is also completely empty."

“And it doesn’t look like a very new phone.”

Maori Kogoro looked at the phone and said, "I think it's the cheap, outdated model I just bought."

“It barely looks like a scratch.”

"Also, I am a little concerned about the wallet and change that was placed in the man's pocket along with the phone."

"Wallet and change?"

"I stole it from Miss Kenzuka. Except for the key to the locker, I put everything in his jacket pocket along with the stun gun, cigarettes, etc."

"The total change inside is nearly five thousand yuan."

"Five, five thousand dollars?!"

"But wouldn't that be heavy?"

Officer Megure nodded, "Yes, and there are two ten thousand yen bills and five five thousand yen bills in his wallet."

"What's even more outrageous is that there are 47 thousand-yuan bills. Don't you find that weird?"

"Yes, it is."

Amuro Toru blinked, "Excuse me, if it's possible, can you let me see what else is in his pocket?"

Conan looked at Maori Kogoro, "Uncle Kogoro wants to see it too."

"makes sense."

"That doesn't matter."

"I'm so sorry, Officer."

Soon the things were on the table, "Okay, these are all."

"He has so much stuff in his pockets."

"Takagi is currently investigating the key to that locker, so it's not in here."

"By the way, Ms. Kenzuka Kei."

"Yes."

"We found two towels dropped at the feet of the body in the toilet. The front of one of the towels seemed to be a little wet. Do you know why?"

"I don't know. I don't know. I was very scared and I kept shrinking myself and didn't dare to look."

"And you have a rather peculiar knot in your boots underneath that towel."

"And the knot seemed to be tangled around the boot."

"That's a habit I developed when I was little. When I washed my canvas shoes and put them out to dry, my brother told me that it would be easier to hang the shoelaces this way."

"Although it is said that boots cannot be washed, I still have this habit, but my brother is no longer alive."

Ms. Kenzuka Kei closed her eyes and cried...

Lingzi lowered her head. This was a girl who dared to love and hate. She did all this just to avenge her boyfriend...

Maori Kogoro was a little reluctant, "Officer, let's stop here tonight, it's better this way."

"It has only been a short time since Ms. Kenzuka Kei's brother passed away, and now she has witnessed a strange man committing suicide in front of her."

Officer Megure nodded. "Well, then we will ask about the case again tomorrow. Could you please tell me your address and contact information first?"

Ms. Kenzuka wiped her tears and said, "Okay, I'll write it down."

"If possible, it would be best to have something like an ID that can prove your identity."

"Because I just graduated from college and am looking for a job, I don't have a business card yet. If I go back home, I can still find my insurance card."

"Then please bring it here tomorrow."

After writing the note, Ms. Kei Katatsuka stood up, her eyes filled with tears.

"okay, I get it."

Amuro Toru looked at her and said, "If you want to go home, let me take you there in my car. My car is parked in the parking lot next to you."

Lingzi also tilted her head, "If that's the case with me, I'll go back with you, too, Miss Jianzhong. It's always more reassuring to have more girls around."

Amuro Toru bent down and said, "It is very likely that the man has other accomplices who are lying in ambush near your home."

Lingzi nodded, "That makes sense."

Ms. Kenzuka Kei looked at Lingzi and said, "Sorry to trouble you guys."

Amuro Toru straightened up and put his hands behind his back, "No, no, you're welcome. It's nothing to bother with."

Lingzi smiled and put her hands behind her back, but her hands were pinching Amuro Toru's waist.

I told you to flirt with young ladies, and to spread your charm everywhere...

Toru Amuro kept a smile on his face, and couldn't help but reach out and hold Lingzi's hand with his right hand.

I couldn't help but beg for mercy. It wasn't painful, it was itchy.

Lingzi loosened her hand, moved a little distance away from him, turned her back and looked at the scene outside the window.

Inspector Megure looked at the two of them, then at Maori Kogoro, "But then again, why is he here too?"

Maori Kogoro touched his head and said, "Well, to be honest with you, Amuro has become my eldest disciple now."

"Disciple, disciple?"

Kogoro Maori was a little embarrassed, "Ahahahaha."

"Really? It looks like you have a new detective by your side, Maori."

"More?"

Toru Amuro was a little confused.

"Yes, there are others besides you. Recently there is a young detective who always appears at the crime scene with Brother Maori."

"And she's a female detective."

Amuro Toru became interested, "Huh? So there is a young female detective. If I have a chance, I must meet her."

His determined look is a bit scary.
