Chapter 480 Three Suspects (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

"What were you doing when the fire broke out at 9:45 a.m.?"

Examining the three suspects, Mu Mu Shisan looked serious.

The east side of the gymnasium is a flower garden, and the north side is an incinerator. They are very close to each other, and they are exactly where the gardener Toshio Samejima and the cleaner Koizumi Ryuji are active.

It just so happens that these two places are located in the corner of Didan Primary School. Ordinary students will not come here to play if they have nothing to do.

Without eyewitnesses, their innocence cannot be exonerated.

“What else can a gardener do?”

Samejima Toshio glanced at the charcoal-black body and let out a 'hum':

"From 9:30 to 10 a.m., I prepare pesticides in my room."

Seeing that his tone was not kind, Mu Mu Shisan was alert and asked again:

"Mr. Samejima, did you have anything to do with the deceased?"

".No."

Holding down his straw hat, Samejima Toshio raised his right eyebrow and said coldly:

"We are all colleagues, and it is normal for us to have conflicts over time."

Different answers

Stroking his round chin, he looked at Mu Shisan thoughtfully:

"That's it"

He turned to look at the cleaner, Koizumi Ryuji, and found that he was sweating profusely on his forehead, trembling and looking suspicious.

With a flash of his eyes, Megure Thirteen remembered the methods that Sakaki Cheng always used to solve crimes, and he immediately took it into consideration.

"Mr. Koizumi, what were you doing at the time of the incident?"

"I'm sweeping up fallen leaves behind the gymnasium."

With the sword pointed at him, Koizumi Ryuji shrank his neck and stammered:

"Mr. Police, I... I have been at the school for several years, and I definitely have no issues with Mr. Ohta!"

"I don't know anything about this case!"

"Then why are you so nervous?"

Megure Thirteen looked at Koizumi Ryuji in front of him emphatically, feeling suspicious:

"You were right behind the gymnasium when the fire broke out. Why didn't you notice anything unusual immediately?"

As the saying goes, first come first, first come the moon. If Koizumi Ryuji really didn't know anything about it, he should be the first person to discover the fire.

Look at his evasive eyes and shrinking back, there must be something inside!

"Ah I. I."

Koizumi Ryuji was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat and did not dare to look directly into the stern eyes of the police department.

"Memu Police Department, please allow me to interrupt."

The old principal put his hands behind his back, took a few steps forward, blocked Ryuji Koizumi, and said:

"Mr. Koizumi has also been working as a cleaner in our school for 5 years."

"He has always been serious about his work and has never slacked off."

"at the same time."

Sighing, the old principal lowered his voice:

"He has social phobia."

Social phobia?

Sakaki frowned.

This condition is not uncommon and is also known as social anxiety disorder. It refers to a series of emotions such as anxiety, fear, and nervousness that patients experience in social situations and during social interactions.

Social phobia, which mostly occurs in children and adolescents, is a chronic disease that rarely resolves on its own.

If Ryuji Koizumi suffers from social phobia.

He will go to great lengths to avoid contact with others.

At a biological level, structural changes in the amygdala, the brain region responsible for managing fear, may predispose to the disease.

There are also studies showing that genetic factors may also cause social phobia.

but.

The above two ways of onset are not too common, and the most common ones are acquired effects.

For example, marital conflicts between parents, overprotective parents, childhood abuse, frequent relocation during childhood, etc.

These may all be causes of social phobia.

What a coincidence.

Social phobia is a branch of psychology, which is Sakaki's specialty.

under his observation

Koizumi Ryuji's social phobia is already very serious.

With his toes pointed outward and his body tense, ready to escape at any moment, he was trying his best to avoid contact with others.

"Mr. Koizumi is also a graduate of Didan Elementary School. He is only 22 years old this year."

The old principal said:

"When he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, he was bullied on campus and suffered from social phobia ever since."

"In the final analysis, it's all my fault as a teacher."

"It was also my personal decision to keep him as the school cleaner."

Mumu Thirteen and others looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

What scares you most about handling a case?

Innocent suspects don't tell the truth.

There are many loopholes in Koizumi Ryuji's testimony, and he must be hiding something, but

The old principal has said so. There is no point in forcing the other party blindly, and it may even be counterproductive.

Tricky.

In desperation, Megure Thirteen had no choice but to turn his gun again and look at the last and only female suspect, Risa Goto.

"I know what you want to ask."

Before he could speak, Goto Risa spoke:

"At the time of the incident, I was walking around and I did see Ota Kunimatsu entering the stadium."

"oh?"

Refreshed, Mumu Shisan quickly grabbed the hard-won clues:

"So, Miss Goto, you were a witness before the crime?"

"Well, you can say that."

Goto Risa shrugged and said calmly:

"I saw Ota Kunimatsu entering the warehouse under the podium of the stadium with my own eyes, and I don't know what happened next."

"You didn't follow?"

"Why should I follow?"

Goto Risa looked at Megure Thirteen, a little strange:

"Isn't he a teacher at school?"

"Is it special for teachers to come into the gym?"

"Uh"

Three questions in a row caught Megure Jusan off guard.

Indeed

There is nothing wrong with Goto Risa's behavior, it is a normal person's thinking.

It is abnormal to see everyone as a criminal like Conan.

"Miss Goto is a college student, why did you come to Teitan Elementary School?"

"Yes, I am a third-year student at the University of Tokyo, studying forensic medicine."

Raising her long black hair, Goto Risa smiled and said:

"The school happened to be on vacation, so I took this opportunity to visit my old teacher at my alma mater. I come back every year at this time."

"Every year?"

Megure Jusan was stunned:

"Why do you come back every year?"

"Of course it is to visit old friends."

Goto Risa glanced at Koizumi Ryuji and sneered:

"There are some things that I will never forget in my life."

"I'm sorry."

Koizumi Ryuji lowered his head, not knowing who to apologize to.

What's going on!

Megure Jusan felt that his head was about to explode.

It was clearly a routine inquiry for testimony, but the result was that a lot of irrelevant things were brought up.

The difficulty of solving the case increased exponentially.

"Speaking of which"

The old principal's secretary suddenly remembered something:

"Half a month ago, I saw Mr. Koizumi and Mr. Ohta having a big fight!"

"It was in the gymnasium!"

"What?!"

With a change of expression, Megure Jusan suddenly looked at Koizumi Ryuji and shouted:

"What's going on?!"

At this time, Sakaki Makoto clearly saw that a vein on Koizumi Ryuji's forehead was exposed, and his eyes were filled with almost substantial anger, but

the anger only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.
