Chapter 2925 2929 [Chasing the Fugitive]
Anyway, since the Black Organization cannot be caught at the moment, dealing with Chizo Ogura, the suspected drug dealer, is one of the most important things at the moment.
Hattori Heiji and Conan returned to the crowd and whispered to Inspector Otaki about their speculation on the identity of the "low-key guest".
"Fugitive?" Inspector Otaki's expression became complicated, "I should have sent more people to search the mountain earlier."
The shop owner's wife squeezed in and eavesdropped. When she heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you! That customer doesn't look like a good person. He must have beaten my husband to death!"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and glanced at her: "I almost forgot that your case has not been solved yet-you just asked me what evidence I had?"
The shop owner's wife's heart skipped a beat and she said with a stiff face: "Yes, yes, what basis do you have to say that I killed someone?"
Jiang Xia pointed to her collar speechlessly: "Fingers and clothes covered with gunpowder are not mentioned, can you explain why there is human blood on your neck?"
"?!" The shop owner's wife instinctively covered the place he pointed to. When her fingertips touched the sticky touch, her face changed.
-Just now, she felt that something was wrong with her neck, but she thought it was because she ran back in a hurry, and her sweat soaked her collar.
But now, judging from what the detective said, could it be that...
"Boss lady, why is there blood on the inside of your collar!"
The old farmer and the falconer took a closer look and were shocked - he had also noticed that the color of the shopkeeper's wife's collar was a little strange, but the blood was stuck on the inside of the collar, and he was embarrassed to stare at that place, so he had to convince himself that it was stained with coffee or something. But...
In the eyes of everyone in doubt, Jiang Xia continued: "This part is the same as the blood on your husband's clothes - it should be that you put on his coat and pretended to be him, and when you came out to wave and say hello to us, you accidentally stained yourself."
"..."
Inspector Otaki was silent for a while, and suddenly felt that this criminal was a bit embarrassing for Osaka. He cleared his throat, interrupted the embarrassing silence, and asked the shopkeeper's wife: "Do you have anything else to say?"
The shopkeeper's wife blushed, and her expression was so complicated that it seemed like a palette had been overturned on her face.
She was frozen for a long time, and finally said, "There's nothing to say, I killed him."
The old farmer and the falconer heard this neat answer, but they couldn't believe it: "It was really you? Why did you kill him? Haven't you always had a good relationship?"
The shop owner's wife gritted her teeth and clenched her nails into her palms: "Because that bastard actually wanted to sell this store, and sold all the facilities at a low price!"
Two old employees who suddenly lost their jobs: "?!" Is there such a thing? ?
The store manager's wife said solemnly: "I went to see him a few days ago, and found that there were rarely customers in the store. I was worried about disturbing their business, so I didn't go over and waited in the corridor. But after a while, the more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong - it was actually a sales contract.
"I don't understand why he suddenly sold the store. I ran downstairs to ask, and he told me that he wanted to sell it and start over.
"This is a shop that we built bit by bit after we both quit our jobs. All the wood carvings and toys here are carved by me. Every day I think about how to run the cafe better... How can I let go of all the hard work I put in over the years?
"I tried to argue with him, hoping that he would take back his decision, but he just yelled at me to shut up and said I was annoying..."
Inspector Otaki nodded thoughtfully while recording: "So you decided to kill him?"
"I didn't...at least not at that time." The owner's wife covered her face in pain:
"I heard the anxiety and irritability in his words, and after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was right - the number of customers coming here is getting fewer and fewer every day, and the mountains are still too remote. Although I am very reluctant, it may be a wise choice to start over in another place.
"I sorted out my mood and told him that I would order a few boxes to pack the wood carvings for easy moving.
"But he actually sneered and told me not to waste my efforts. He said that I and this shop were a burden to him - his so-called new life was to throw me away! ”
Speaking of this, her clear eyes gradually became bottomless, like a dark vortex:
“I really didn’t expect that he was such a bastard. After breaking my fantasy about him, I thought back and realized that he seemed to look down on me and this mountain village from the beginning. He just thought we were easy to manipulate, so he kept acting with me under that mask. "
Hattori Heiji recalled the dead shop owner who took in Chizo Ogura, and vaguely understood:
The reason why this shop owner resigned was probably to concentrate on the drug business.
A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!
A person and several grown men hiding in the mountains together look suspicious after all. At this time, as long as you find a dull love-brained wife to accompany you, you can transform all those suspicious things into a leisurely pastoral scenery like "men farming and women weaving".
The store manager's wife raised her head and looked at the cafe that she was very familiar with: "Although I don't know why he did this, since this is the case, I will let him taste the power of me and this small mountain village - the 'gunshot' of the popcorn machine, the eagle's attack, plus my ability to make mechanisms, this can be regarded as revenge for the three of us who were fooled by him. "
The old farmer and the falconer took a step back, looking at her with trembling eyes, as if someone had dragged the hand and stabbed the dead.
…
Anyway, the murder case came to an end.
Inspector Otaki was asking his subordinates to take the man to the police car, when his cell phone vibrated and someone called.
The subordinates said excitedly: "Inspector, we found the fugitive you just mentioned! - He should have been hiding in a cave before, and when he found out that we were searching the mountain, he realized that he couldn't hide, so he ran out. We are chasing him now, and we have someone to drive. We will catch him soon!"
"Good!" Inspector Otaki was surprised at first, and then he cautiously warned, "The other party may have weapons, so be sure to pay attention to safety when chasing."
Subordinates: "Yes!"
After making the call, Inspector Otaki looked at the group of high school students in the room: "I'll go over and take a look too, you stay here, don't run around."
The two clerks had just recovered from the shock of "The boss lady killed the boss!" and "Oh no, I seem to be unemployed!", and when they heard this, they were stunned again.
...The low-key customer in the store who had no desires before was actually a fugitive? !
