Stay away from Conan

Chapter 243 Alibi

"Zhenyou is the most popular young female professor in our school. She is beautiful and single, so she is very jealous. Therefore, she is often spread bad rumors by some thoughtful people."

In the cake shop outside Dongdu Medical University, Takayama Ayase ordered a cake set, sat on a chair in the shop, looked at Gao Yuan opposite, and explained.

"There have been a lot of people who have come over recently to inquire about the details of her murder, but most of them are journalists who came because of the rumors about Zhenyu. However, this is the first time that a detective has come to investigate."

Sincerely, Takayama Ayase looked at Takato and said.

"By the way, Mr. Detective, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Wise and lofty."

Gao Yuan replied.

In response, Takayama Ayase nodded, thinking, and after confirming that he had never heard of this name, he continued with some doubts:

"It's been almost a week since Zhenyu was killed, and the police still haven't found any results yet. Mr. Akechi, are you sure you can solve this case?"

Takayama Ayase said this, seemingly out of distrust of Takato's identity.

In this regard, Gao Yuan just smiled helplessly, "Teacher Gao Shan, you can tell me the details of the case you know. Maybe I can find something. As for the rumors about Professor Zeguchi, you can keep silent. After all, I am a Detective, all I care about is the case."

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, although Takayama Ayase did not dispel his suspicion, since he had chosen to meet and talk with the other party here, with the mentality of giving it a try, Takayama Ayase told Gao Yuan what he knew about the case, and after listening Takayama Ayase's narration, Gao Yuan roughly understood the case:

The cause of death of Professor Sawaguchi Mayu was excessive bleeding caused by a sharp knife being inserted into the heart from the back. No murder weapon was found at the scene, and the crime scene was the apartment where she lived alone.

Based on the time of death, the crime should have occurred in the evening to night last Thursday.

The police investigated the situation at the scene and determined that this was not a theft or robbery. The murderer should be someone who knew the deceased. After being invited to the home by the deceased, he attacked the deceased from behind when the deceased was completely unprepared.

"that's it?"

After listening to Takayama Ayase's narration, Gao Yuan was slightly stunned. He didn't quite understand how such a case could become an unsolved case.

"Judging from the fact that Professor Sawaguchi is a single woman who lives alone, and that she can be invited into the room unsuspectingly at night, the murderer is obviously someone who has a very good relationship with her. Just investigate her interpersonal relationships , we should be able to find the murderer, right?”

"Indeed, the police investigated in this direction and also came to the school to question us."

Takayama Ayase confirmed, "But in the end, no suspect was found."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that Takayama Ayase seemed to be hiding something, so after thinking for a moment, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and dialed Takagi Wataru's number, asking him about the death of Mayu Sawaguchi and the lack of a suspect. details.

"Hey? Mr. Mingzhi, are you investigating this matter?"

On the phone, Gao Mushe couldn't help but said in surprise when he heard Gao Yuan's request.

"I happened to be at Dongdu Medical University and heard about this case, so I became somewhat interested."

Gao Yuan said honestly.

"That's right!"

As if he was a little surprised, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but said: "I just happened to be going to Dongdu Medical University. I have to make some more inquiries about this case. Why don't I explain it to you in person!"

To this, Gao Yuan naturally agreed happily, so not long after, Takagi Wataru also came to the cake shop, said hello to Gao Yuan, came to sit next to Gao Yuan, and then greeted Takayama Ayase:

"Teacher Gao Shan, you happen to be here too. I am Gao Mu from the Metropolitan Police Department. I want to confirm something with you."

Takayama Ayase did not refuse. After all, this was not the first time she had met Officer Takagi Wataru. The fact that Gao Yuan was familiar with the detective made her put aside her doubts about Gao Yuan's identity.

"Officer Takagi, why can't we find a suspect in this case? The murderer should be someone familiar to the deceased, right?"

After Gao Yuan sat down with Gao Mushe, he directly raised his question, to which Gao Mushe also answered simply:

"Because, based on the time of death of the deceased, anyone who may have been a suspect during the time of the crime has sufficient alibi."

"A suspect?"

Hearing this word, Gao Yuan emphasized it, and Gao Mushe also responded:

"That's right. We investigated the deceased's interpersonal relationship and found that there were two people with motive for committing the crime. One was the first discoverer of the case and the deceased's sister, and the other was the ex-boyfriend who lived with the deceased."

"Well...my sister and her ex-boyfriend, what's their alibi?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"According to the forensic inference, the time of death of the deceased was around 7 o'clock on Thursday night, and during that time, the deceased's sister was working overtime at the workplace until 10 o'clock in the evening, without leaving in the middle. Some colleagues in the company said that It can be testified. The deceased’s ex-boyfriend attended a class reunion that night and left for about five minutes to go to the bathroom. However, the location of his gathering was more than thirty minutes’ drive from the crime scene, so his alibi was also established. ”

Takagi Wataru replied.

After hearing this, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and then said lightly:

"The ex-boyfriend could call the deceased near his class reunion at seven o'clock, then use those five minutes to kill her, hide the body, and then take the body back to the apartment after the class reunion. Pretending to be the deceased’s apartment was the scene of the first crime.”

In this regard, Takagi Wataru said somewhat helplessly:

"Mr. Mingzhi, our police have also thought about this idea, so we conducted a special investigation, but it turned out that this is not true at all. There are no traces of the body being moved, and the apartment is indeed the scene of the first crime."

"That's right."

Gao Yuan said - it's really not that easy.

"So, our police are currently looking for other suspects to see if the deceased had any interpersonal relationships that we don't know about... After all, there are so many bad rumors about the deceased..."

"Zhenyu is definitely not that kind of person!"

Hearing what Takagi Wataru said, Takayama Ayase immediately retorted angrily, "I have known her for twenty-three years. She was a student of this school when I first came to work in the school. For Zhenyu I can guarantee that those rumors are all false!”

"But... Teacher Gao Shan, although you are said to be a good friend of the deceased, there must be things you don't know after all!"

Seeing Takayama Ayase's reaction, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but said helplessly.

"I say it's impossible, it's impossible!"

Hearing what Takagi Wataru said, Takayama Ayase became even more angry. This seemingly kind and well-behaved female teacher was saying angrily:

"Since then, Zhenyu has always liked that person in her heart, and it has never changed! How could she do such an inappropriate thing!"
