Chapter 370 Watching TV and Learning Knowledge
At first, no one paid much attention to this case. It was just a piece of news, a mission, the disappearance of a person, and the disintegration of a family. Until the news of this case spread all over the country's media.
Conan is about to be discharged from the hospital, but the case of the body hidden in the iron barrel has still not been solved.
Fortunately, there is still some progress. At least the police know the identity of the deceased - Airi Kubota, the proprietress of "Diabaku".
Yes, contrary to the expectations of Nobushige and Hattori Heiji, the hair found from the comb happened to belong to the victim, and it was basically certain that it also belonged to Airi Kubota.
It seems that Yumi Kubota wasn't lying.
Why "seems"?
Even though Nobushige didn't want to speculate maliciously on anyone who had not yet been convicted, he could not be sure that Kubota Yumiya did not commit murder. At least until now, Kubota Yumiya is the biggest suspect.
If he hadn't called the police immediately, the police wouldn't have figured out the identity of the deceased until now.
"I can really be discharged from the hospital!" Conan curled his lips unhappily and said to the children of the Young Detective Team who came to visit him, "It was the doctor and Sister Xiaolan who insisted that I stay for a few more days."
As he spoke, Conan's hand was still sliding rapidly on the phone screen.
Suzuki Sonoko took a curious look and said in surprise: "So you are also playing Dream Rescue. I thought only boring otakus would be interested in this kind of game."
"Boring otaku" Asano Nobushige silently withdrew his gaze, pretending that the mobile phone in Conan's hand did not belong to him.
"I think this game is quite interesting, but it's a bit annoying to be stuck in the same level all the time." Conan sighed, "Brother Asano, have you not passed the ninth level yourself?"
"..." Facing Suzuki Sonoko's shocked gaze, Nobuhiro felt a little tired, but he still responded firmly, "Well, after all, this game is too boring, and I don't have the patience to play it at all."
Conan: "???"
Do you think I am so easy to deceive as a child?
Mao Lilan, who knew the truth, immediately laughed. She was considerate and did not reveal Nobuhiro's lies. Instead, she said to Conan with a straight face: "Okay, you have been playing for a long time today. Please return the phone to Mr. Asano." , I will push you back to the ward."
"Yes." Conan obediently returned the phone to Nobuhiro, and then bid farewell to the other children of the Junior Detective Team.
Only Haihara Ai stayed because of Xinfan. She followed Xinfan, and the two of them walked slowly towards the ward behind him.
"What game is that?" Hui Yuan Ai suddenly asked.
Her face was facing forward, and her tone did not fluctuate at all, as if she was just asking a casual question.
Nobuhiro replied seriously: "There is a mobile game called Dream Rescue. It is a level-breaking mode, a bit like Mario. Do you want to try it?"
Hui Yuan Ai shook her head slightly and said, "I'd better forget it. It would be too bad if I get stuck at a certain level like my brother and can't pass it." As she spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
Xinfan was choked for a moment. He was silent for two seconds and then suddenly laughed.
So Hui Yuan Ai also showed a smile without restraint, no longer suppressing her emotions.
Conan, who was chatting with Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko about the drama at the garden party for a few days, looked back in confusion after hearing the voice: "Brother Asano, what's wrong with you?"
Nobushige cleared his throat and put away his smile: "We were talking about going to see Miss Mori's performance on the day of the garden party. I heard that Miss Sonoko will play the prince, right?"
Suzuki Sonoko's expression suddenly lost, and she said sadly: "Because my hand is injured, I cannot continue to play the prince. The role of the prince will be played by a new doctor."
Ahhhh! Really! Mr. Asano will go to the garden party! Such a good opportunity was missed like this! By the way, should she use her position as chief director to arrange a female supporting role for herself?
Anyway, no matter what role you play, you will definitely look good in a medieval tutu!
Nobushige didn't know what was going on in Suzuki Sonoko's heart. He was just guessing in his mind whether the new doctor was Belmod. Speaking of which, he hadn't received any information from Belmode for a long time. That woman implemented mysticism so thoroughly.
"By the way, Brother Asano." Conan asked suddenly, "What happened to the case that you and Brother Hattori were investigating? Did Brother Hattori go to investigate?"
Nobushige smiled and replied: "No, he should be in Osaka now."
"Huh? He went back?"
"Well, after all, I failed to complete the task assigned by my father. In order to continue the investigation in the future and not be kicked out, of course Hattori had to go back and admit his mistake first." Nobushige's mind can even picture Hattori Heiji kneeling in front of his parents to reflect. .
While Conan was suppressing his laughter, he also said something for Hattori Heiji: "But no matter what, you haven't gained anything this week, right?"
"Determining the identity of the deceased is indeed a big breakthrough, but unfortunately there are still no clues about the murderer.
"The relationship between Kubota Yumiya and his wife has had serious problems in recent years. On the one hand, Kubota Airi cheated on her and was unwilling to divorce and divide half of the property to Kubota Yumiya. On the other hand, he himself seemed to be in financial crisis.
"Besides him, Mitsuha Tadao is also a big suspect. Kubota Airi promised to divorce her husband many years ago, but there has been no news for so long. Every time I ask about it, Kubota Airi is evasive. Three over time. Ye Tadao has developed a hatred for Kubota Airi, and he might kill someone for it."
Conan thought about it seriously and asked: "They are indeed very suspicious people. So it is basically certain that the murderer is between the two of them?"
Nobushige shook his head and said: "It's not certain yet. Although neither Kubota Yumiya nor Mitsuha Tadao has sufficient alibi, the same police have not obtained any key evidence to prove their suspicions. Moreover, the testimony of the two of them can be obtained by themselves." It seems that there is no problem.”
"Can't we conduct a lie detector test?" Mao Lilan asked and smiled sheepishly, "I saw it before watching criminal investigation TV series. Police in TV series often use lie detectors."
...emm, when did Mao Lilan learn to say "I saw it on TV"? Will she have to say "I learned it in Hawaii" after a while?
Nobuhiro secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface he wanted to explain seriously: "The results of polygraph detection cannot be used as direct evidence in court, not to mention that this technology is not mature enough in Japan. If possible, the police still hope to grasp more critical and direct evidence.”
