Chapter 546: The Crossroads of the Maze (16)

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department building, Megure Jusan, Sato Miwako, and Takagi Wataru are discussing the case.

Megure Jusan seemed to have discovered something and asked the two people: "The three people who were killed in Tokyo had something strange on their bodies. One wore a hat, one wore a scarf, and one wore gloves. Don't you think it's strange? The color, style and texture are exactly the same."

Sato Miwako nodded in agreement: "It is indeed strange."

However, Takagi Wataru looked confused: "What's so strange about that?"

Megure Jusan patiently explained: "For example, if Shiratori wears these three things alone, it's natural. But if Officer Megure wears this hat, I wear this scarf, and Takagi wears these gloves, wouldn't that be strange?"

Takagi Wataru thought thoughtfully: "Indeed... It's as if Shiratori died and the three of us divided his belongings."

Megure Jusan nodded heavily: "That's it, things may not be that simple."

As usual, Gao Mushi's face changed suddenly when he heard this: "What, what's going on?!"

~~~

The scene shifts to Sakura House, where the atmosphere is a little more relaxed, but there is something mysterious going on. Kojima Genta touches his rumbling stomach and shouts, "I'm hungry!"

Seeing this, Yoshida Ayumi hurriedly said to stop him: "Just bear with it for a while!"

Shiratori Renzaburo began to tell the story of Chiga Suzu's life: "Chiga Suzu's mother was a geisha in Miyagawa-cho. When she was five years old, her mother died of illness, and she was still an unmarried mother. Later, Chiga Suzu was adopted and raised by the teahouse owner Yamakura Taki."

Kojima Genta asked curiously, "What does it mean to be an unmarried mother?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya turned around and quietly explained to Genta Kojima: "It means a woman who gave birth to a child without getting married."

Shiratori Renzaburo continued, "Although I don't know who her father is, someone anonymously sends her money every month. But three months ago, it suddenly stopped for some reason."

Maori Kogoro frowned and said, "There are indeed some puzzling points."

Hattori Heiji keenly grasped the key information: "From three months ago?"

Mao Lilan also asked curiously: "But Inspector Shiratori, where did you get this information from?"

Hattori Heiji guessed maliciously, "You heard it from Inspector Ayanokouji, right?"

Shiratori Renzaburo suddenly became a little excited: "No! Don't underestimate me, I am very famous in Gion!"

Conan muttered quietly: "This is also something to be proud of..."

Shiratori Renzaburo continued, "Although that guy is known as my mortal enemy, I don't want to be compared with someone who always carries a squirrel..."

Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously, "Squirrel?"

Shiratori Renzaburo explained, "He put them all in his pocket, but he didn't have them with him at the crime scene."

At this moment, Shiratori's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone: "Yes, it's Shiratori."

Megure Jusan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "This is Megure. Regarding the case of Benkei and Yoshitsune, there is another possibility - dividing the relics. If you think in this way, the mystery is solved. In other words, we have deduced that Benkei or Yoshitsune may have died."

When Maori Kogoro heard this, he suddenly knocked on the table, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "I know!"

Now all eyes in the room were focused on this famous detective.
