Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Chapter 619: Forward and Backward
"Officer Takagi, can you please do me a favor?" Uncle Maori's voice rang out, and Conan ran out and handed a note to Takagi's eldest apprentice.

"Yes!"

After seeing the contents of the note, Officer Takagi nodded and ran out of the apartment without even hearing Officer Megure's shouts.

"Brother Maori..." Inspector Megure looked at the sleeping Kogoro helplessly. If you have anything to say, please tell me first...

"Ahem, let's continue."

"At 4:30 in the afternoon, you disguised yourself and returned to the apartment with Ms. Hiroko's body."

"In order to make the incident look like the work of robbers, you placed the bodies and deliberately created a scene where both parties had fought."

"That's right. Your deliberate actions have also become a flaw. If you really went through such a fierce fight, Ms. Hiroko might have some scars on her body, and her clothes would not be intact."

Uncle Maori pointed out Takaoka Akira's first obvious flaw.

"Maybe it was one of Hiroko's enemies who did it. He first came to the house at noon and killed Hiroko, then he couldn't let it go and rushed over again at around 4pm to create the scene!"

“There are people like that, right?”

"The kind of person who returns to the scene of a crime after committing it!" Takaoka explained hurriedly when he saw everyone staring at him.

"What you said doesn't seem to explain clearly why we found the singing sand from the White Sand Coast in Miss Hiroko's shoes and handbag." Inspector Megure asked, holding the small bag of evidence in his hand.

"Maybe Hiroko went there sometime before and left it in her shoes and bag. Anyway, I didn't ask Hiroko to go to the beach today." Takaoka shook his head and denied it.

Although Takaoka is highly suspected, his statement is not impossible.

Inspector Megure frowned and did not ask any further questions. The police were also unable to verify when the singing sands were made.

"Unfortunately, we have another piece of physical evidence that confirms that Ms. Hiroko must have been to Fukushima today."

"Inspector Megure, please take out the other piece of evidence in the paper bag." Uncle Maori faced the other party's defense calmly and continued to speak.

Touzi and Lin Feng also looked at Ju Pang, wanting to know what other evidence Officer Takagi had obtained for testing.

"..."

Inspector Megure opened the document bag, took a closer look, and took out another transparent evidence bag from it.

Brother Takagi really did a lot of extra work without telling me...

Inside the evidence bag was a palm-sized piece of newspaper containing an interview from the People's column.

When Gao Gangming saw this small piece of newspaper, he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

"It looks familiar, right? This is the local daily newspaper in Fukushima that was just published this morning."

"We found this newspaper clipping inside the pocket of Ms. Hiroko's purse." Uncle Maori explained the source of the evidence.

"So that's how it is. The print run of this local newspaper is very limited and we can't buy it here." Touzi said with a smile.

This is indeed irrefutable evidence that the victim went to Fukushima today.

"Call records, surveillance videos near the station, I think it's time to start investigating." Lin Feng glanced at Ju Pang and reminded him.

In today's society, it is not easy to find someone's whereabouts.

It is normal for the two to have call records, but if Ms. Hiroko had used a phone in Fukushima, it might be possible to find out.

"Chief, we've visited every household, and no resident in the apartment asked the electrical appliance store to come to their door in the afternoon." A police officer ran in and reported.

Now it is certain that there is something wrong with the staff at the electrical appliance store at 4:30!

"I understand. Get the phone information of the victim, Ms. Hiroko, and then immediately ask Fukushima to cooperate with us and investigate the surveillance cameras in the station and nearby areas." Officer Megure ordered. "How is this possible? I didn't kill anyone. I bought that clipping and put it in Hiroko's purse!"

Takaoka Akira clenched his fists and then pointed at the newspaper clipping with his photo and argued.

"You mean, after you rushed home at 5:15 and saw the scene of your lover's death, you cried bitterly and put this clipping into Miss Hiroko's purse?" Toruko asked with a sidelong glance.

Are you crazy?
"No, not only that, I think he even deliberately removed his fingerprints, held the lady's hand, and kept grabbing the newspaper."

Lin Feng knew that there would probably be an unimaginable number of fingerprints on this clipping, but there would not be any Takaoka's.

"Police department!"

Just when everyone had forced Takaoka Akira into a dead end, Officer Takagi ran back.

"I found Mingsha in the gap of the trunk of Mr. Takaoka's car!"

Takagi accepted the commission and carefully investigated Takaoka's car downstairs. The spare key was found in Miss Hiroko's purse.

"Mr. Takaoka, please tell me, have you carefully read the words written in the frame on the wall?"

Conan hid behind a chair, looked at Takaoka Akira who was gritting his teeth, and continued to ask with the bow in his hand.

"I only have eyes for you."

This sentence is written in the lower right corner of the painting full of sunflowers on the wall.

Sunny, bright, loving openly and unyieldingly, the sunflower has its own unique charm.

Moreover, it blooms not only love, but also the love for dreams and life.

Forced into a dead end and unable to defend himself, Takaoka Akira took two steps back, put his hands on the table, and said, "Hiroko plans to follow me like a shadow for the rest of her life..."

Takaoka knelt on the ground and recalled what Hiroko had said when she mentioned breaking up.

"Do you know how much effort I have put in for you? Now it's finally your turn to take care of me. I want you to spend your whole life repaying me."

"That's what she said..."

Everyone was silent after hearing this.

"I see that your apartment is pretty good. Including the expenses like water and electricity, it would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, right?" Lin Feng asked after looking around.

"Yeah." Takaoka nodded.

"Come, look at me." Lin Feng lowered his head and said to Gao Gangming who was kneeling on the ground.

The other party didn't understand and raised his head.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

One direct hit followed by a counter-hit, directly hitting Takaoka Akira so hard that blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"You probably don't know how difficult it is to find someone to support you these days."

Seeing that Lin Feng was about to continue, Gao Mu quickly stood in front of Takaoka Akira.

Inspector Megure patted his chest.

Scared me!
