While everyone was chatting, a piece of news on TV caught their attention.

"In the red ghost village of Gunma Prefecture, where tourists are currently gathering, the burnt body of a man was found on the high platform of the fire festival. According to the remains of the deceased, the deceased's name was Negishi Masaki, who was 42 years old."

Mouri Kogoro's face changed drastically: "What? How could such a thing happen?"

"According to the police's inference, the probability of homicide is very high, and the investigation of the case is currently underway..."

Wu Fan complained in his heart: "What a rice flower market with simple folk customs."

"It is indeed this person, there is no mistake." Looking at the photo of the deceased on TV, Mouri Kogoro said with a serious face.

Ran Mouri asked: "What's wrong? Is it possible that you know this person?"

Mouri Kogoro replied: "This is no longer a question of whether I know him or not, but I have been following this man for the past three days."

Ran Mouri was shocked: "You mean these three days?"

"How could that happen?" Conan was also shocked.

"Yes, I was still following him last night. Wu Fan and Conan, you two also saw that the middle-aged man was Genya Masaki." Mouri Kogoro said loudly.

Everyone came to the police station, and Mouri Kogoro went in to record a statement.

Wu Fan and others, on the other hand, stood at the door waiting boredly.

After waiting for a long time, Mouri Kogoro still didn't come out.

"Dad, it's true. Didn't we just agree to go and take a statement for testimony? Why did we go so long?" Ran Mouri couldn't help complaining.

Wu Fan said with a smile: "There is no way, why was my uncle still with the deceased yesterday? For the police, he is an important witness in this case.

After a while, Mouri Kogoro still couldn't come out, so Wu Fan had to walk in.

As the savior of the police, Wu Fan's fame and prestige can be said to have skyrocketed in the police station.

Seeing Wu Fan coming, Officer Megure was very happy and took the initiative to say hello: "Brother Wu Fan, you are here."

Thanks to Wu Fan, Officer Megure has solved many cases, so he has a very friendly attitude towards him.

"Yeah, what happened?" Wu Fan asked.

"According to our current investigation, Masaki Negishi had an insurance policy of 500 million yuan before his death." Officer Megure replied.

Mouri Kogoro looked at a man wearing glasses and said: "This is too weird, isn't it? Then why is the beneficiary of this huge sum of money Mr. Yutaka Abe, who is just an ordinary friend with him? In addition, you still have this The client who asked me to follow Mr. Negishi before the case happened, what does this insurance money have to do with you?"

Yutaka Abe said with a smile: "This is just a game.

Officer Megure was shocked: "What?"

Abe Yutaka still smiled and said: "Negishi and I have been good friends for more than 20 years since college. One day when we were drinking, he said to me, we are both 42 years old this year, and we are no longer young. , do you want to bet and see who of us will live longer?"

"I thought it was very interesting, so I agreed, and the bet was 500 million."

Officer Megure asked: "So you insured each other for $500 million."

"However, what I never expected was that the outcome would be decided in just three months." Yutaka Abe said with some regret.

Wu Fan on the side sneered inwardly: "Haha, I didn't expect that? You are the murderer and you still pretend to be so?"

However, he did not speak out, but chose to remain silent.

Because Wu Fan knew that even if he knew who the murderer was, it would be useless without evidence.

"So, why did you ask Mouri to follow him?" Officer Megure asked.

Yutaka Abe explained: "Actually, it's not that big of a reason. When we were chatting a while ago, he said that someone seemed to be plotting against him recently, and he might be killed soon."

After hearing this, Officer Megure's face changed greatly: "Someone wants to kill him?"

"At first, I thought he was joking with me, but his expression was indeed unusual. I was very worried, so I asked Mr. Mouri to help investigate for three days [is that right? Mr. Tori?" Abe asked Mouri. Kogoro.

Wu Fan complained in his heart: "What a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be compassionate. People are dead anyway, so you can say whatever you want. No one knows the truth or falsehood anyway."

"Well, I still have a job so I can't stay here. I'm also the president of a small company. I've been very busy with work recently. You must catch the murderer of Negishi in time and find him. Okay."

Mouri Kogoro said with a gloomy face: "Huh, don't worry, if we find him, you will be the first person to notify."

"Then I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Detective."

After finishing speaking, Abe Fei opened the door and left with a smile.

After seeing Yutaka Abe leave, Officer Megure pondered: "There are no other suspects except Yutaka Abe, but he has an alibi, and we have no evidence at all.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro watched Yutaka Abe leaving without saying a word. Apparently, he concluded that the murderer was Yutaka Abe.

He thought so, but there was actually no problem at all. After all, whoever benefited the most after death would be more suspicious. What's more, he was killed only three months after the agreement. It was very strange no matter how you thought about it.

"Brother Wu Fan, what do you think?" Officer Megure asked.

Wu Fan replied: "I am certain that he is the murderer, but there is no evidence yet.

"Well, that's true, I think so too." Officer Megure replied.

Afterwards, Wu Fan and others left the police station and were on their way back.

On the way, Mouri Kogoro said angrily: "It's suspicious. It's so suspicious. That guy is definitely the murderer. That's half a million. You can get half a million by following him for only three days. Isn't this reward too high?"

"And as long as Negishi dies, he can get a high amount of 500 million in cash. Coupled with his confident attitude, the more I think about it, the more I hate Murura.

Ran Mouri asked: "Then why didn't the police arrest him?"

"He has a sufficient alibi, and the person who provided the proof for him is your father and me." Mouri Kogoro replied.

"The time when the body was discovered by (Li Nohao) happened to be the Sunday night when the fire festival was held, but before the early morning of that Saturday, I had been following the deceased Negishi Masaki. In other words, the murder occurred from midnight on Saturday to the fire festival. This happened between the time the tower was set on fire on Sunday evening."

Ran Mouri asked again: "Dad, the person you suspect must be in the Red Ghost Village today?"

"It's impossible. He was traveling from Saturday morning to Monday, that is, during the day today. He and his staff have been playing in Kyushu these days and have no time to commit crimes.

"Then dad, why do you think he is suspicious?" Ran Mouri asked again.

Mouri Kogoro said with a serious face: "That's because as a detective, my sixth sense told me." 0

Ran Mouri said with bewildered eyes: "Is this so..."

Wu Fan said: "As long as his alibi can be cracked, it will be proven that he is suspected of killing the deceased."
