Chapter 344 The Reasonable Store Manager

"Dad, how is it?" Mao Lilan asked the question that everyone in the room wanted to ask.

Mori Kogoro said in a complicated tone: "Miss Sanae did receive cosmos seeds before she left the company. As for whether the corpse is indeed in the construction site, let's go and see now."

"Call Officer Megure..."

Afterwards, Mori Kogoro and others left the room and went downstairs.

"Shop Manager, I'm also curious whether this case is the same as the vampire's reasoning. Can I take a short vacation and go together?" Amuro Toru's face was filled with anticipation, making it hard to refuse.

Feng Chu smiled and said: "No problem, I am a reasonable store manager after all."

After ten minutes.

Koda Masao, Fuchu, Mori Kogoro and others came to the gate of Yoshihiro Watanuki's family, and Police Officer Megure and Tsutomu Takagi who had already arrived greeted them.

"Brother Fengchu, brother Maoli, do you believe in the reasoning of the vampire who doesn't know the truth?"

Police officer Mu Mu, who heard a general idea on the phone, looked a little weird at this time. As a forcible criminal in the Metropolitan Police Department, he searched the three departments of the police department. He has seen countless cases and has always been a firm materialist.

"It doesn't look like it's fake." Mori Kogoro said with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Facts speak louder than words. I don't know whether there are vampires, but his reasoning can quickly verify the truth." Feng Chu looked relaxed.

Police officer Mu Mu also agreed, went back to the gate, and rang the doorbell.

Not long after, Mian Guanyi, who had a fierce face, walked to the gate, and when he saw Officer Mumu and the others, his face changed involuntarily. He knew what crime he had committed, but he still took chances and said with a firm attitude. :
"Officer Mumu, what do you want from me? I am a good citizen! I always abide by the law."

There was no turning back when he opened the bow, so now, Police Officer Mu Mu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

Officer Megure coughed heavily, and said solemnly: "We suspect that you killed Ms. Koda Sanae, and hope you can assist in the investigation."

"It's ridiculous. Didn't Officer Mumu ask me for a question half a month ago? How can Mochida Shinichi's drunken words be taken seriously?" Mian Guanyi was stubborn and insisted on it. He is 63 years old and doesn't want to spend his old age in prison. .

"Yoshiichi Watanuki, don't try to quibble, I've found evidence!" Koda Masao's voice was old and full of anger.

Mianguanyi turned his head to stare at the white-haired Masao Koda, frowned and said, "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Hahahaha! You can't even recognize who I am?" Masao Koda passed his right hand across his wrinkled old face, his voice full of sadness.

"He is Ms. Sanae's older brother Masao Koda." Yoshida Ayumi's voice was crisp.

Yoshihiro Watanuki froze for a moment, and suddenly opened his eyes wide. If he remembered correctly, Masao Koda was a young man with dark hair half a month ago. Why is he even older than an old man like himself now?
What has he experienced?
"You, how did you become like this?" Mian Guanyi asked in surprise.

Masao Koda clenched his fists, eyes full of anger: "It's not thanks to you! Open the door! We will expose your lies now!"

Mian Guanyi looked gloomy, hesitated for two or three seconds, and opened the door anyway.

"Mr. Mori, please." Although Koda Masao also read the message, he frankly admitted that his reasoning and expression skills are not good, and he is not very good at speaking. Professional matters still have to be left to professionals.

Mori Kogoro nodded, took a step forward, and began to say, "On the night of the [-]th of last month, after Miss Sanae got off work..."

"After killing Ms. Sanae, you carry her body to the south gate of the courtyard, open the manhole cover and enter the sewer, and then..."

Mori Kogoro walked around while talking, and when he came to the south gate of the courtyard, he unlocked the door and walked into the alley.

Police officer Mu Mu and others also followed his pace.

Tsutomu Takagi, who had prepared a shovel in advance, obeyed the instructions and pried open the manhole cover. Masao Koda and others followed Mori Kogoro and filed in. Fuchu and the Boy Detective Team entered through the gap next to the wall of the construction site.

In less than 2 minutes, Kogoro Moori pushed the manhole cover and walked to the ground.

After the obese police officer Mu Mu came out, he patted his big belly, thinking that he would almost be unable to get out if he got fatter for two laps.

Kogoro Mori coughed, and continued: "That night, the east wind was blowing. After stopping, Mr. Shinichi Mochida, who was standing facing the wind, wanted to light a cigarette, but the flame was blown out by the wind, so he turned around."

"Then I heard the sound of a shovel digging a hole to my left."

"When I recalled it the next day, Mr. Mochida Shinichi forgot to turn around. That's why Mr. Koda mistakenly thought that the buried body was in your yard."

Having said that, Kogoro Mori stared at Yoshiichi Watanuki who was sweating on his forehead with piercing eyes.

"Evidence, where's the evidence?" Mian Guanyi scanned the entire construction site and said stiffly.

Mori Kogoro shook his head and sighed. He also inspected the construction site, then pointed to the cosmos in the distance, and said, "The body is there, because Ms. Sanae carried the cosmos seeds on her body when she was alive."

Mianguanyi shook his body.

"Hair can be tested for DNA."

"You are so old, you are more likely to lose hair. Is it normal to lose a few hairs when you dig a hole?"

Feng Chu added lightly.

These two pieces of evidence seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The bloodless Mian Guanyi couldn't hold on any longer, fell to his knees with a plop, and confessed: "I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't do it on purpose."

"I just gently shook her hand away, who knows, who knows..."

"You bastard!" Masao Koda rushed towards Yoshiichi Watanuki.

Takagi immediately stretched out his hand and hugged Koda Masao from behind.

Officer Megure shook his head and said: "Mr. Koda, I understand your feelings, Chiba took him back to the station."

Afterwards, Watanuki Yoshiichi was escorted into a police car.

Koda Sanae's bones were dug out, taken to the funeral parlor, burned to ashes, put in an urn, and the cosmos was also transplanted into a pot. The matter was perfectly resolved, and Koda Masao also received a text message.

Toru Amuro, who took a short vacation, excused that he had something to do, so he didn't go back to Poirot Cafe until after get off work.

He was quietly following Koda Masao.

I also saw that after Masao Koda received the text message, his face was full of shock and disbelief, and gradually became calm, as if he had accepted the conditions in the text message.

Toru Amuro has an intuition that the account holder of "Sorrows in the Toto" will meet Masao Koda tonight.

For Mr. Vampire, who is widely rumored on the Internet, punishes evil by lynching, promotes good, and upholds justice, whether it is the duty of the police or the soul of a detective, Amuro Toru has been prompted to explore it in depth.

"Whether it is a real vampire or a fake vampire, his wisdom must be beyond ordinary people."

"Is Koda Masao really sad and graying overnight?"

Amuro looked at the email sent by Yuya Kazami. In the photo, Masao Koda had black hair a year ago, almost no different from men of the same age.
