The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 218 The real first witness

The door was opened, and standing inside was a lady wearing a dark red large sleeveless T-shirt. Her skin was a healthy wheat color, and she looked quite burly due to her tall height. The most important thing was...

The sleeveless T-shirt successfully showed off her well-developed deltoid muscles and triceps brachii. Kudo Shin swallowed his saliva subconsciously. The circumference of this upper arm was almost twice her own. This fist might be more terrifying than Xiaolan. .

Her height matched her guess, and even her strong figure matched one of the characteristics of the murderer: strong strength.

"Mr. Police, do you have anything to ask me about?" Eguchi Yuuki looked at Onizawa Takashi and asked.

After hearing what she said, Sasashima Ritsu smiled and said, "Miss Eguchi, I have something to ask you. Is it convenient for us to chat?"

Maybe it was the smile on Takashi Onizawa's face, or maybe it was a young junior high school student following behind him, but Eguchi Yuuki relaxed instead, she nodded cooperatively and said, "Yes, sir, please come inside."

Eguchi Yuuki's home is quite clean. There are two or three sets of dumbbells of different sizes placed next to the TV cabinet in the living room. There are also a lot of fitness equipment near the balcony. It can be seen that she is a woman who loves fitness.

There were even several bottles of protein powder placed on the coffee table. Sasashima Ritsu couldn't help but cursed in his heart: He is really a very obsessed with muscles. After training like that, he still plans to gain muscle.

Eguchi Yuki walked to the open kitchen. She picked up the tomato milkshake-like drink in the juicer and asked, "Mr. Police Department, would you like a drink?"

"Excuse me, thank you."

When two cups of drinks that looked like tomato milkshakes were brought to him, Sasashima Ritsu smelled a strange smell before he even picked them up. Why did this milkshake smell so bad? It smelled like chicken?

Kudo Shinichi looked at the thick milkshake in the cup and asked curiously: "Is this a tomato milkshake?"

"No, it's a muscle-building and fat-reducing juice squeezed together with tomatoes and chicken breasts. It tastes pretty good."

A drink made from chicken breast. The two of them looked at each other and really didn't dare to try the taste of this thing.

Ritsu Sasashima deliberately changed the subject and asked: "Miss Eguchi, why are you lying?"

Eguchi Yuuki, who was drinking chicken breast juice, panicked when she heard Onizawa Takashi's words. She coughed suddenly, apparently choking on her drink.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough!!"

After finally regaining consciousness, Yuki Eguchi, whose face turned red, said with uncertain eyes, "I... Mr. Police Department, what are you talking about? I'm not lying, this drink does taste pretty good."

Hearing this, Sasashima Ritsu lowered his head and chuckled silently.

When he raised his head again, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant as if it had never existed before. His cold voice sounded, leaving Eguchi Yuuki speechless.

"Miss Eguchi, how did you know that I am from the police department? And..." Ritsu Sasashima smiled, patted Kudo's shoulder and asked, "You seem to know that he is not a police officer."

"I…"

"Let me make up a good reason for you. Because after being asked about the alibi by the police, you became gossipy about the case that happened in the apartment, so you stood in the corridor and eavesdropped on our conversation."

"Yes, I just had gossip thoughts, so I was in the corridor..."

Eguchi Yuuki's expression froze. She quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head, realizing that she had said the wrong thing.

Ritsu Sasashima, who was very good at clichés, was very satisfied with Eguchi's current expression. He looked at the size of the sleeveless T-shirt she was wearing and made an inference that surprised both Eguchi and Kudo.

"The yellow T-shirt worn by the deceased Yoshitaka Yoshiko belongs to you, right?"

"..."

The living room suddenly fell into a brief silence, and the only thing that could be heard was the nervous Eguchi Yuki's breathing becoming rapid.

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help doing the gesture that Holmes likes to do when he is thinking about a problem, put the fingertips of both hands together on the bridge of the nose, and curled up his feet on the chair because he was in someone else's house.

Could you tell that Yuki Eguchi was eavesdropping on their conversation just by saying "police department"?I really dare to guess.

And she can actually tell the size of the clothes with the naked eye. You must know that the person in front of you is wearing large-size clothes and the clothes look smaller because of her strong figure.

If Ritsu Sasashima knew Kudo's psychological dynamics, he would definitely shake his head - what he really relied on was Eguchi Yuuki's micro-expression. From being wary when she first opened the door to being confused later when she set the trap on her own, it shows that she really does There is a ghost.

However, this kind of psychological quality can also reflect that she is not the murderer.

"I know you are hiding something, so stop trying to use words to deceive the police. Obstructing the police from performing their official duties or making perjury will result in a prison sentence. Article 169 of the law states that making a false statement will result in a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three months but not more than ten years."

Sasashima Ritsu looked directly at the pale-faced Yuuki Eguchi, and he smiled meaningfully: "So, can Ms. Eguchi stop making up lies? Just tell what you know."

Eguchi Yuuki knew that if she didn't explain clearly, she would become a major suspect in the eyes of the police. She looked at Takashi Onizawa carefully and asked softly: "Mr. Police Department, are you willing to believe me?"

"If you are telling the truth, I will naturally believe you."

For some reason, Eguchi Yuuki calmed down when she saw those calm scarlet eyes. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to recall the memories she didn't want to think about again.

"Actually, I was the first witness to the body, but after I saw that the clothes on my body were my newly purchased T-shirts... I was afraid that the police would determine that I was the murderer, so I pretended not to know and did not call the police."

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help asking when he heard this: "Do you remember what time it was?"

Eguchi Yuki glanced at Onizawa, wondering whether she should answer the high school student's question. After getting a look of acquiescence, she replied: "I came home at 1:[-] this morning, and the car happened to be parked. It was in my parking space, so I took another look.”

"What about your car?"

"I don't have a driver's license, so I didn't buy a car. The parking spaces are often vacant." Yuki Eguchi lowered his head and continued: "The trunk of the car was open at the time. Out of good intentions, I wanted to close it. Who could Knowing that I smelled rust as soon as I got close, I took a closer look and found a woman curled up inside!"

"I was really scared at the time. I checked my breathing and found that I was out of breath. What's even worse is that she was actually wearing my clothes!"

Kudo Shinichi heard this and asked, "Don't you have any ideas? Take off the victim's clothes and destroy your own suspicion."

"I had thought about it, but I was afraid... I usually don't even dare to kill fish, so how could I have the guts to touch a carcass, so I closed the trunk and hurried home."

Ritsu Sasashima, who had been observing his expression, asked: "Do you know the victim Yoshitaka Yoshiko?"

Eguchi Yuuki shook her head, and she said emotionally: "I don't know you, but I think... the murderer's next target may be me! Please also ask the police to protect me, a weak woman!"

"?"

Ritsu Sasashima and Shinichi Kudo both had puzzled expressions. The former was wondering why the murderer's next target would be her, and the latter was wondering——

Are you sure your well-developed triceps are a weak woman? !
