The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 120 The truth behind the many doubts [4k big chapter]

"When she asked you to borrow money, did she tell you how much she wanted to borrow and what she was going to do?"

Fujino noticed the crux of the matter.

"Every time I borrow money, it's not much, maybe one hundred or eighty thousand. As for what I'm going to do, I don't know. After all, we both have our own lives, and it's hard for me to ask too much about some things. "

Fujino's chin dropped when he heard this.

Generally speaking, if you borrow money, it will definitely mean that your own financial situation cannot be turned around.

But since she has a normal income, why should she borrow money?

Unless there is something extra that needs money.

But why does she need money?
I got sick?
Or is it that a family member is sick?

Thinking of this, Fujino continued to ask Hirotani Yayoi: "By the way, does Miss Araki have any relatives now?"

"Words from loved ones..."

Hirotani Yayoi opened her mouth, looking a little hesitant.

"Miss Hirotani, do you have anything to hide about Miss Araki's relatives?"

Miwako Sato noticed the hesitation of Yayoi Hirotani.

"Unspeakable concealment does not count."

Hirotani Yayoi shook her head, "I just feel that if I say it, I will feel sorry for Mako."

"I'm sorry, Miss Araki?"

In the doubtful gazes of the two people, Yayoi Hirotani lowered her head and said hesitantly: "As for relatives, she has no relatives now, but a long time ago, when she was in the United States, she actually lived with someone when she was seventeen or eighteen years old. , except that the other party passed away after two years of living together.

While they were living together, she gave birth to a girl with that man, but just a year ago, that girl also died. "

"But everything is developing in a good direction. After the girl died, Araki returned to China. After returning to China, she met Mr. Hingda. Just two months ago, she entered into an engagement with Mr. Hingda."

Fujino asked: "Then why do you hesitate, Ms. Hirotani?"

Yayoi Hirotani explained: "Mr. Hideda is a relatively conservative person, and he is also a city councilor in Mihua City. If he knew that Mako had lived with a foreigner and gave birth to a child, I'm afraid... ……”

"Is it likely to affect her reputation?"

Fujino lowered his head and fell into thought.

Scandal, and borrowing money.

This reminded him of the idol location cases he had encountered before.

Thinking of this, Fujino suddenly raised his head and asked: "By the way, Ms. Hirotani, besides you, does anyone else know about this?"

"As for the others, I don't know."

Yayoi Honggu raised her head and thought for a moment, "After all, Mako wouldn't tell others about something like this..."

Before Yayoi Hirotani could finish speaking, Takagi suddenly ran into the villa and interrupted her words.

After questioning the people around him, Takagi has found the guest who came to the villa last night.

According to the description of the housewife who lived across the street who just finished the housework last night and planned to go out to watch the fireworks:
Around nine o'clock yesterday, an adult man visited this villa. Although she could not see his appearance clearly, she was sure that he was a man wearing a blue suit and driving a black Santana.

"Blue suit, black Santana?"

On the side, Yayoi Hiroya, who heard Takagi's description, was suddenly surprised.

Hearing the sound, Miwako Sato looked at Yayoi Hirotani doubtfully: "Miss Hirotani, do you know that person?"

"Although the details cannot be determined, the person driving the black Santana should be the guy Fushi Dashi."

Yayoi Honggu affirmed: "That guy is someone Mako met when he was in the United States. Since half a year ago, he will come here as a guest in a black Santana when he is free or not."

"And Mako always looks scared every time she sees this person, so I have a very clear impression."

Fujino raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean Miss Xinmu is afraid of this person?"

Yayoi Hirotani recalled: "If you're afraid, it's not a big deal, but my attitude is definitely not too good..."

"By the way, Miss Araki, is she left-handed?"

Fujino suddenly interrupted Hirotani Yayoi's words and immediately looked into her eyes.

Under Fujino's gaze, she subconsciously avoided looking at her and said hesitantly: "Probably not, after all, her dominant hand is her right hand."

"learn."

Fujino nodded upon hearing this.

If you have friends in the United States, you may know about the scandal.

If that man named Fumori Taishi is blackmailing Mako Araki...

Then this case may be the same as the murder on location in the TV series.

But this time the protagonist was not so lucky. Not only was he not killed, but he was killed instead.

But since she didn't do it, why did she hesitate, and even concealed the fact that Mako Araki was left-handed.

Really don't know?

"Fujino-kun, do you see something?"

After questioning Hirotani Yayoi, seeing Fujino's face full of worries, Miwako Sato stepped forward and asked.

"I saw something."

Fujino took a deep breath and said, "If I am not wrong, then it is very likely that Furumo Taishi knows Miss Araki's past and used the threat of marriage to blackmail her."

"Extortion?"

Miwako Sato had a thoughtful look on her face.

After a moment, she suddenly realized: "If this is the case, then the murderer is most likely that guy Gu Shou Dazhi!"

"Based on the current evidence, this is indeed the case, if the bankbook can be found and it is proven that the money was given to Gu Shou Dazhi."

Soon, the people from the forensics department searched the room and found Mako Aramaki's bankbook.

Just as Fujino expected.

The passbook is filled with records of withdrawals and deposits.

And there are several records of large withdrawals.

The last large withdrawal was recorded just yesterday.

Two hours later, Takagi, the tool for solving the case, found Gu Shou Dazhi.

"Mr. Gu Shou, you should have been a guest in this villa last night, right?"

After Taishi Fumori was brought to the bedroom where the crime occurred, Miwako Sato asked, "And the room where Miss Araki entertained you is this bedroom."

"I did come to this villa at about nine o'clock last night..."

Gu Shou Dazhi responded, "But the two of us were talking in the living room at that time."

"living room?"

Sato Miwako frowned slightly, "Can you raise your arm?"

"Raise your arms?"

Gu Shou Dazhi, who was full of doubts, slowly raised his arm.

What appeared in front of everyone were gray cufflinks, exactly the same as the buttons Fujino found.

Moreover, there is a button on the right cuff that has disappeared.

"Strange, where did my cufflinks go?"

Gu Shou Dazhi asked in confusion when he noticed that his cufflinks were missing.

"Mr. Fumori, can you explain why your cufflinks appeared at the crime scene in this bedroom?"

Seeing this, Sato Miwako's face gradually became serious.

As she spoke, she took out the evidence bag containing the gray buttons found at the crime scene.

"How would I know such a thing."

Gu Shou Dazhi seemed a little panicked.

"Mr. Fumori, you must have blackmailed Miss Araki, right?"

Sato Miwako took out the bankbook and opened the recent withdrawal records: "Just yesterday, Miss Araki withdrew 50 yen from the bank, but we did not find it on her or in the villa. This is 50 yen."

"No wonder Mako has started asking me to borrow money frequently recently, and she always sits on the sofa in the living room with her bankbook and looks melancholy..."

Hirotani Yayoi echoed, with strong anger in his words: "It turns out that you, the beast, have been blackmailing her!"

"Actually, Miss Araki did not commit suicide, but died of homicide."

Miwako Sato turned her attention to Taishi Furumori and reasoned: "Last night, you came to Miss Araki's villa and planned to continue blackmailing her, but she didn't want to continue to be blackmailed. She took out a gun and wanted to threaten you to stop threatening, but after During the fight, the pistol accidentally went off..."

After a pause, Sato Miwako continued to reason: "After Miss Araki died, in a panic, you wiped off the fingerprints on the gun, locked the windows and doors, took away the 50 yen, and forged The scene where Miss Araki committed suicide in the bedroom.”

"not like this!"

Gu Shou Dazhi said in a panic: "Although I did blackmail her, how could I do such a thing as murder!"

"But that's where the evidence points."

Miwako Sato said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fumori, could you please come with us back to the police station for investigation?"

"Not right."

On the side, Fujino was thinking secretly in his heart while listening to the words of the two people.

All the evidence now points to that guy Gu Shou Dazhi.

Miwako Sato's reasoning is also very reasonable.

But why does he always feel that something is wrong?

Thinking about it, Fujino activated the active enhancement skill of detective intuition.

[Detective intuition has been turned on, strengthening the host’s reasoning ability by 100%]

[The advanced reasoning ability strengthening card has been used to strengthen the host's reasoning ability by 200%]

With the blessing of a 300+% increase in reasoning ability, the evidence currently in the case is gradually connected together, and the truth of the matter is gradually becoming clear...

In an instant, Fujino's face gradually darkened after he got the truth of the matter.

"Wait a moment!"

After getting the truth of the matter, Fujino suddenly shouted: "The murderer is not actually Furumori Taishi."

"Who else could it be if it wasn't Gu Shou?"

Hearing this, Sato Miwako turned to look at Fujino, looking a little confused.

"Didn't you notice? The smell in this room."

"What does this room smell like?"

Sato Miwako took a sniff and said, "There is no strange smell."

"now it's right."

Fujino walked slowly to the ashtray, "If Miss Araki was indeed Mr. Fumori who entertained in this room last night, it stands to reason that there should be a very strong smell of smoke in this room."

"But now there is no smell in this room. Obviously, the place where Miss Xinmu received guests at that time was not here, and that button was naturally impossible to stay under the sofa in this room."

Sato Miwako asked: "But since the place where Miss Araki entertains Mr. Fumori is not here, then why is the ashtray here?"

"Maybe someone brought the ashtray here after discovering Miss Araki's suicide."

Fujino nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "So this case is not actually a homicide disguised as suicide, but a suicide disguised as homicide."

"Suicide disguised as homicide?"

Miwako Sato was obviously confused about Fujino's reasoning.

"Miss Hong Gu's words are half true and half false, but the matter of borrowing money is true."

Fujino walked slowly towards the desk, "But she lied about Miss Araki being left-handed."

"Miss Araki is left-handed?"

Miwako Sato had a slightly surprised look on her face.

"Yes, the pen next to the desk at the crime scene and the watch she wore on her right wrist can prove this."

Fujino turned around and cast his eyes on Yayoi Hirotani: "Ms. Hirotani, logically speaking, as an old friend, you should know this, but when I asked, you hesitated and said it against your will. I got rid of the lie that Ms. Araki’s dominant hand is her right hand.”

"How would I know this!"

Yayoi Hirotani bit her red lips, "Mako, her dominant hand is her right hand!"

Fujino calmly picked up the notebook on the desk and showed it to everyone at the scene: "If I guessed correctly, Miss Araki actually left a suicide note, but that suicide note was torn up. down."

"If he is left-handed, then the muzzle on the left temple is easy to explain."

Fujino put the notebook back in its original place, and then walked slowly to the body of Mako Araki, "But the pistol was in her right hand. Obviously, someone moved the pistol after she committed suicide in an attempt to create the illusion of homicide. .”

After saying that, Fujino knelt down with his back to everyone and gently stroked the Lotus Medal.

[Soul power has been absorbed, current soul lotus level: level 1 (50|100)]

After doing this, Fujino stood up slowly and looked into Yayoi Hirotani's eyes: "Miss Hirotani, if my reasoning is correct, after you discovered the body of Miss Araki this morning, you first He tore off the suicide note in front of the desk, then went to the living room on the first floor, and took the ashtray used by Miss Araki and Mr. Fumori last night to the second floor."

"The purpose of this is to create the illusion that the two of them were talking here."

"Perhaps due to luck, on the way to take away the ashtray, you happened to find the button that Mr. Furumori left in the living room. Then you took the button to Miss Araki's bedroom on the second floor, causing someone to be in the bedroom at that time. The illusion of talking to Miss Araki on the sofa is even more real.”

"After doing this, you locked the doors and windows, took the key, and called the police."

"What I said is correct, Miss Honggu. The only one who can do this is you, as the first discoverer."

"........."

The atmosphere at the crime scene gradually became deadly silent.

Everyone followed Fujino's reasoning and turned to Hirotani Yayoi.

After a while, under the gaze of everyone, Yayoi Hirotani took a deep breath and chuckled: "As Detective Fujino said, I was the one who faked Mako's suicide scene."

"I just came back from the co-stay and found Mako who had committed suicide when I returned to the villa. As usual, she left me a letter, which explained to me in detail why she committed suicide..."

As she said that, she looked at Gu Shou Dazhi fiercely, "It's all because this bastard Gu Shou caught her!"

"This bastard threatened Xinmu with her past and drained her dry step by step. Just last night, she realized that this was not the way to go and she chose to commit suicide!"

Having said this, some tears gradually fell from the corners of Hirotani Yayoi's eyes: "I just want that hateful guy to pay the price!"

Fujino stared at Hirotani Yayoi silently, and when he was about to speak, he shook his head.
