Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 567 As expected

When Inspector Megure and his team arrived at the crime scene, Mori had already "sorted out" the whole incident and volunteered to explain the whole story to the police on behalf of Fujimori Asako, who was in poor health.

If there are words, it will be long; if there are no words, it will be short.

Looking at the photos provided by Maori, Megure nodded, "So you accepted Miss Asako's commission to come and find this man named Numata."

"That's right, but I haven't been able to find him, so I can only temporarily replace the door lock of Miss Asako's house."

Maori pointed to the body on the ground, "He may have seen this, so he took violent action."

In order to protect the scene, Mao Li and his team did not rashly take off the mask on the corpse's face until the police arrived.

Therefore, Maori took it for granted that the dead person on the ground was Numata, Fujimori Asako's ex-boyfriend.

The dead man lying on the ground was wearing a zombie mask and had a pistol left near his right hand.

This made Megure and the others who arrived at the crime scene both nervous and excited.

Gun case, how long has it been since they last met?
Even in Beika Town, a murderous place where all kinds of strong men emerge one after another, there are very few people who can kill people with guns.

I didn't expect to meet one today.

Unfortunately, this excitement did not last long. After checking, Takagi said with regret that the pistol held by the murderer was just a model gun.

After the false alarm, Megure waved his hand to signal Takagi to continue investigating the scene.

After a while, Qianye opened the door and let in a fat middle-aged man who was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief from time to time.

Seeing this person coming, Fujimori Asako stood up from her chair suddenly, as if she had suddenly found her backbone, "Mr. Hisamatsu!"

Chiba introduced them: "This is Mr. Hisamatsu, the manager of the Strawberry Duo."

The manager, Hisamatsu, had no intention of being polite. He nodded slightly to everyone, then looked at Fujimori and asked directly, "Asako, what happened?"

The phone call he received only said "Tell him to come quickly, he accidentally killed someone."

I don't know the details of the incident.

"A man suddenly broke in from the balcony with a gun in his hand. I was so scared at the time that I just..."

As she said this, Fujimori Asako covered her face with her hands. Seeing this, Hisamatsu tried to comfort her.

After her emotions had calmed down, Megure signaled Takagi to take off the deceased's hood.

Following Takagi's actions, everyone's attention was focused on the deceased.

When the zombie masks were completely removed and the true faces of the deceased were revealed, those who knew a little about the Strawberry Duo subconsciously exclaimed in surprise.

Because the deceased was not Numata as they expected, but the other member of the Strawberry Duo, Fujimori Asako's current boyfriend, Imaoka Jiro.

"Impossible, how could this happen?!" The person who looked most surprised at the scene was the murderer Asako Fujimori herself. She shouted for Jiro and ran towards him.

Chiba quickly reached out to stop her to prevent her from destroying the scene.

The latter did not struggle too much. After shaking his arms twice tentatively, he seemed to face the reality, knelt on his knees, covered his face with his hands and started crying.

The others were also unable to hide their shock and were silent for a while.

Only Lu Ren had anticipated this matter and did not feel too much. And after confirming the true identity of the deceased, he was even more certain of his previous guess.

The reason was simple: Asako Fujimori's behavior after entering the house was really abnormal.

First, when you have taken someone else’s life with your own hands and are feeling overwhelmed, shouldn’t you contact your closest people first?
But how did Asako Fujimori do it?

Before and after the police arrived, she only made one phone call to her agent and completely ignored the existence of her boyfriend.

Second, Fujimori Asako and Imaoka Jiro have known each other for nearly ten years, even though they only officially confirmed their relationship in recent years.

Fujimori Asako should have been very familiar with Imaoka Jiro. The deceased was wearing a casual outfit today. Even if he was wearing a zombie mask that covered his face, just looking at his clothes and body shape, even if she couldn't be sure that the deceased was Imaoka Jiro, Fujimori Asako should have at least made some comments.

Instead of waiting until Takagi took off the zombie mask and then being shocked along with everyone else.

Everyone else can do this, except her, who is the one who knows Jiro Imaoka best.

It seems too deliberate.

Of course, both of the above doubts can be explained reasonably.

The first explanation is that her relationship with Jiro Imaoka is actually dead in name only.

The two of them seemed to be in harmony but were actually not together, so after what happened, she did not choose to call Imaoka.

The second is that after Fujimori Asako killed someone, her mind went blank. In addition, the corpse was terrifying, so she didn't dare to look in this direction, and therefore did not realize that the deceased was actually the person she was most familiar with.

As long as she wants, she can explain it in any way.

As for what the truth is, it ultimately depends on evidence.

Lu Ren continued to look around the scene.

The police did not give Fujimori Asako much time to vent her emotions. As for the small town of Beihua Town, where there is an average of one murder a day, it is impossible to expect them to give much humanistic care to the murderer when they are under high pressure all day long.

Even if the Megure police now tend to believe that Fujimori Asako was also a victim, the fact that she committed murder remains unchanged.

This matter must be dealt with seriously after all.

It would be better to deal with the case seriously now and prepare a sufficient chain of evidence so that when she goes to court in the future, it will be easier for lawyers to defend her and the judge can determine the sentence at his discretion.

Especially this time the deceased was a popular public figure and his external conditions were so good.

Megure knew without a doubt that there would definitely be extreme fans of Jiro Imaoka who would demand a severe sentence for Asako Fujimori.

Any slight mistake now will become a sharp sword to attack Asako Fujimori in court in the future.

Fortunately, Asako Fujimori quickly calmed down and recounted the incident in as much detail as possible, saving the police a lot of trouble.

"Today is my birthday, and I invited the Maori family to my birthday party before 7 o'clock. When I was cooking in the kitchen, I suddenly heard the sound of broken glass.

Because of what happened with Numata, I was a little scared at the time, so I took the kitchen knife and left the kitchen, and then I saw...

I saw a man wearing a zombie mask and holding a gun rushing in. I asked him who he was, but he didn't answer. I subconsciously wanted to run, but he grabbed my left arm tightly. I was so scared at the time that I just..."

After listening to Fujimori's explanation, Lu Ren was a little speechless.

According to her, Imaoka was really brave. Even after seeing that the other party was holding a sharp weapon, he still dared to approach and engage in close combat.

Even if it were him, the first thing he would do is to remove the weapon from the other person's hand.

However, this can also be explained by the fact that Imaoka had no experience in committing a crime for the first time.

Although there are many doubts at present, there is still no conclusive evidence to show that Fujimori killed Jiro Imaoka.

Therefore, Lu Ren did not rashly express his opinion, but chose to continue observing.

"The victim broke into the house by breaking the window, and he intended to do something bad to you." After summarizing, Megure pondered for a moment, "Do you know his motive for doing this?"

Fujimori shook his head.

"Where's Mr. Hisamatsu?"

"Well..." Hisamatsu wiped his sweat with his handkerchief again. After a while, he hesitated and said, "I may know the reason."
