Chapter 387 Insufficient Evidence

The location of Hamano Riya's apartment was somewhat remote, and the night outside the window was extremely dark. Conan felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart just after looking at it for a while.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Asano Nobushige who was admiring the scenery outside the window alone: ​​"Mr. Asano, how do you think the murderer removed his own fingerprints alone? Could it be that he waited for Hamano Riya's death before using the hand of the corpse to remove his fingerprints?" Is the bottle stamped with fingerprints?”

"No." Nobushige shook his head slightly and said affirmatively, "The mineral water with tetrodotoxin added was drank by Hamano Toshiya himself."

Conan's eyes widened in surprise: "How could it be...you clearly said that Hamano Lee was also killed."

"There is no contradiction between the two." Nobushige finally withdrew his gaze and turned to Conan's bright eyes. "Perhaps Hamano Ri also thinks that bottle of mineral water is a life-saving straw."

Conan was stunned for no reason at first, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly realized it in a few breaths!

However, the possibility he thought of made Conan shudder. He exclaimed: "The murderer deceived Hamano Toshiya and made him think that the red wine was poisoned and the mineral water contained the antidote!"

Nobuhiro was noncommittal.

Hattori Heiji was attracted by the movement here. He walked over and asked strangely: "Hey, Kudo, what's going on with you two?"

"We know the murderer's modus operandi!" Conan said excitedly. "Red wine may contain substances that can cause pain but are easily volatile. After Hamano Ri also felt pain, the murderer called him and said that the red wine was poisonous. , and the antidote is mineral water, so Hamano Ri is very likely to drink the poison with his own hands in a panic!"

"By the way, mobile phone. Did the police find Hamano Toshiya's mobile phone? The last call may have been from the murderer." Conan eagerly wanted to ask the Megure Police Department.

But he was stopped by Hattori Heiji: "I came here just to tell you this. Hamano Toshiya's mobile phone is missing."

Conan: "!!!"

This means that the inference just made is very likely to be true. The murderer returned here again after Hamano Toshiya's death, took away Hamano Toshiya's mobile phone, and may even have cleaned some things.

However, the door lock of the apartment showed no signs of being picked, which indicated that the murderer most likely had the key to the apartment.

Was it stolen during a meeting at night, or was the murderer originally very close to Hamano Toshiya?

Conan almost immediately thought of Kikue Tanaka!

This ex-girlfriend of Toshiya Hamano, who was sentenced to probation for attempted intentional homicide and who tortured and killed cats and dogs during the probation period and is still on the run, is indeed very suspicious.

Conan shared the information with Officer Megure, who also took the matter seriously. The main reason is that the name Tanaka Kikue has appeared a bit too frequently recently, so it's not okay for him not to pay attention to it.

But if the murderer is really Tanaka Kikue, the police will only be more troubled because that woman has been missing for a long time. They had tried hard to find her before, but could not find her whereabouts.

What's more, the fact that Hamano Toshiya committed suicide is just the speculation of the detectives. The police can only infer the conclusion of suicide from the evidence at the scene.

…

Just two days later, the two cases of Hamano Toshiya and Kubota Airi were closed together.

The police found Kubota Airi's Polaroid camera in Hamano Toshiya's apartment. He was regarded as the murderer of Kubota Airi and eventually committed suicide in fear of crime.

Hattori Heiji and Conan were certainly not satisfied with this conclusion.

Hattori Heiji still wants to continue the investigation, but his father has given him a serious warning. If he continues to imitate Kudo Shinichi and skip school to investigate cases, he will not be told any information about any cases in the future. Hattori Heiji was so frightened by this terrifying threat that he booked a flight back to Osaka on the spot.

Conan also wants to continue investigating, but when he stays at the Maori Detective Agency, he will never lack the opportunity to encounter cases. Several murder cases that followed soon distracted Conan's attention, greatly satisfying his detective addiction. Later, he only occasionally thought of the regrets about the Hamano Toshiya case, but he no longer had the determination to find out.

Mouri Kogoro was very happy. He returned to his daily work and life with Officer Megure's rainbow fart, and continued to be heartlessly played the role of a famous detective by his future son-in-law. Occasionally read the sexy tabloids, go to the maid cafe to admire cute young girls, or open a few bottles of beer and spend the entire afternoon carelessly.

Nobushige was probably the only one of them all who knew the truth, but he had seen enough crime. It might be strange for Kikue Tanaka to do such a thing, but if it were Epcot, it would seem much more natural.

This peaceful life seems unfair to the dead, but the fairest thing in the world is that it is unfair to everyone. Not all cases can have a perfect ending, and not all souls can be liberated.

The dead need to be remembered by the living, but the living need to live their lives well every day.

In this regard, organizations have always been ahead of most people.

Nobushige stared at the dark blue under Gin's eyelids without hesitation, silently expressing his sympathy for his hard work in his heart.

Gin raised his hand to signal, and then gave a few instructions to the person on the other side of the phone. His voice tends to be cold, and when he is serious, even if he is in a calm mood, he often makes those who communicate with him break out in a cold sweat.

At the same time, Gin was still distracted by typing something on the computer. From Nobuhiro's position, he could only vaguely see the interface of the organization's intranet. It was initially judged that Gin was at work, at least not following the drama...

Gin is very busy, and he is indeed a model worker with multiple task lines.

Compared with Gin, Nobushige felt a little guilty. He, a working dog who works four jobs at the same time, is not as hard as Gin's one job.

But as soon as he had the depraved thought of "Should I work harder", he saw Vodka standing straight like a bodyguard behind Gin.

Nobuhiro suddenly felt relieved.

You have to know how to be moderate when it comes to part-time work. Working day and night like Gin is not good at all. If you tire yourself out, you won't be able to create greater value!

So he opened the mobile game with peace of mind. The big "Level 9" on the game start interface was extremely eye-catching.

When Gin finally finished sending the site message and hung up the phone, and arranged the two tasks at the same time, he suddenly looked up and saw Mescal making dots on his phone with a "face full of excitement."

Viewed horizontally, you can tell at a glance that you are not doing anything good.

There was airflow swirling in Gin's nasal cavity, and Vodka knew it and shouted without needing to be reminded: "Mezcal!"

Nobufan was frightened by his sudden and powerful voice, and his hands trembled, and the villain died miserably among the thorns.

He silently raised his head and stared at Vodka, his face extremely gloomy.
