Stay away from Conan

Chapter 714 Restart the investigation

"What?"

Suddenly, Henggou was surprised when he heard what the police officer reported. At the same time, Gao Yuan and Conan's expressions changed slightly when they heard this.

"In other words, are the two victims of the two incidents that happened tonight still related?"

With a slightly solemn expression, Henggou Zhenwu said this.

The police officer who came to report also responded:

"That's right. According to the recollection of the hotel front desk clerk, when the deceased woman was checking in, she was harassed by the deceased who fell from the building, and they also had some quarrels because of this, so the waiter had an impression."

"Such a thing can happen!"

Henggou Zhenwu was surprised by this and murmured thoughtfully:

"Then why didn't Mr. Jiang Yuan, the first discoverer of the case, mention this at the fireworks display just now? Is it possible..."

"Maybe I'm just afraid of getting into trouble."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but blurted out after listening to Henggou's enlightenment words:

"Or...Mr. Jiangyuan didn't recognize the deceased woman at all. After all, it was just a quick glance. It's possible that he doesn't remember it."

As he spoke, Gao Yuan's expression became a little serious and he analyzed silently:

"But anyway, the two incidents that happened tonight are actually related in this way, and we already know the identity of the female deceased, so let's investigate this aspect."

"So, how should we investigate the specific location of the fall?"

At this time, Henggou Shenwu had basically trusted Gao Yuan. After listening to Gao Yuan's words just now, he couldn't help but start to seek advice from Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan analyzed this for a while and then replied:

"Based on the existing clues, trying to find the specific location of Mr. Jiang Yuan's fall in this hotel is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead of doing this, it is better to start investigating Mr. Jiang Yuan's whereabouts after returning to the hotel. After all, he came back from the fireworks display , not too long has passed until now.”

Saying this, Gao Yuan glanced at Masahiko Michowaki who was beside Xiaolan and others thoughtfully, and continued without attracting Masahiko Michowaki's attention:

"Furthermore, since Mr. Jiangyuan is wearing the clothes of 'Night Baron', what he wanted to do at that time must be related to this event. I think it is time to ask the other people participating in the event! Let's see, maybe there will be some Other discoveries."

In response, Henggou nodded, agreed with Gao Yuan's statement, and then asked the police to go to the front desk of the hotel to borrow a room for interrogation purposes, and temporarily placed Mr. Jiangyuan's body in a room of the hotel. In the office, let a police officer take care of you first.

Afterwards, Henggou asked Gao Yuan to call the remaining participants to the room temporarily used for interrogation, and asked them one by one -

"Because I can't see, even though I was at the outdoor restaurant when Mr. Ewara's accident happened, I didn't know anything. It was only after Shizue told me that I found out that Mr. Ewara was wearing the 'Night Baron' clothes." Fallen to death."

In the room temporarily borrowed by the police as an interrogation room, Kenichiro Kaneshiro, who was first questioned, was accompanied by his servant Lin Jingjiang. After facing the inquiry from Henggou Sengo, he made this response, and after saying After saying this, he subconsciously confirmed to Lin Jingjiang:

"Right, Shizue?"

"Yes Master."

In response, Lin Jingjiang nodded.

"Then what do you think about the fact that Mr. Jiang Yuan is the organizer of your event, the Night Baron?"

Henggou Zhenwu continued to ask.

Kenichiro Kaneshiro was also very plain and gave this answer:

"To be honest, I'm not very surprised. I wouldn't be surprised at all who is the organizer 'Night Baron' among the people participating in this event."

"Really……"

In response, Henggou nodded, then thought for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask:

"However, there is something strange about me, and I would like to take the liberty to ask. With your status, Mr. Jincheng, why do you come to participate in such an event? Logically speaking, free travel expenses are nothing to you. Something special?"

Hearing this, Kinjo Genichiro chuckled softly, and then explained:

"Of course, free travel is not a very special reward. Not only me, but also several other participants would not take this kind of reward too seriously based on their net worth. However, compared to this reward , we are more interested in the question of who is the 'Night Baron'."

"So, you all came to the event to meet the organizer, 'The Night Baron'?"

Hearing this, Henggou Zengo suddenly felt that this so-called "mysterious journey" activity was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. In this way, what Gao Yuan said before, "Since Ehara Tokio is wearing a 'Night Baron' costume, "Falling off a building" probably has something to do with the participants of this event, more or less.

So, Henggou thought for a while and asked a question to Kenichiro Kinjo:

"So, in your opinion, who among all of you wants to see the 'Night Baron' the most?"

"Um……"

Upon hearing this question, Kenichiro Kaneshiro pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"It should be Mr. Konno. I heard that the bank where he worked was suspected of operating the bank's internal computers without authorization, so he was ignored at work. Moreover, when we first started checking in, he was the most active in testing everyone. Let's see who will be the 'Baron of the Night'... Come to think of it, maybe the person who wants to see the 'Baron' the most is him..."

…

"What? How come the old man even knows about this?"

Soon, after questioning Kenichiro Kaneshiro, Shiro Konno was called into the interrogation room as the second interrogator.

As soon as he came up, Henggou Sengo told him what Genichiro Kaneshiro said just now, which made Konno Shiro feel very depressed, and then he replied unceremoniously:

"Hmph! He dares to talk about me? He is the one who hates 'Baron' the most, right?"

"How, how could it be?"

Surprised, hearing what Shirou Konno said, Henggou couldn't help but ask.

"Because... the old man's son was killed by that 'virus'!"

With a gloomy face, Konno Shiro said something shocking.

"Huh? Virus? Did his son die of illness?"

Henggou Zhenshu asked with a puzzled face:

"Then what does this have to do with 'Baron'?"

"Hmph... Forgive me, I only know this. I don't know exactly why..."

Konno Shiro said with a gloomy expression, and then asked:

"Besides, are you, the police, interrogating a prisoner? Could it be that Mr. Jiang Yuan did not accidentally fall from the building, and that there is another mystery to the cause of his death?"

"We are just making routine inquiries..."

"If that's the case, I can reveal some more information..."

Before Henggou Sengo finished speaking, he heard Konno Shiro say this, so Henggou Sengo stopped the topic and looked at Konno Shiro with a solemn expression to see what he would say——

"As far as I know, Miss Kamijou, one of the participants in this event, and Mr. Ehara were once married. However, it seems that they divorced three years ago."

Konno Shiro maintained his gloomy temperament and told the matter calmly.

And this could not help but surprise Henggou Zhenwu...

…

"At about ten o'clock, when Tokio Ehara jumped off the building, I was always at the outdoor restaurant with Mr. Maeda, Miss Sayama and the two girls next to the detective, so no matter what, I There is an absolute alibi!”

After Konno Shiro, the police called Kamijou Hideko.

After being faced with the question of what Yoko Mizuno was doing when he fell from the building as soon as he came up, Hideko Kamijou responded with obvious helplessness.

"Uh...uh huh!"

Faced with Kamijou Hideko's attitude, Yokomori coughed slightly in embarrassment, and then continued to ask:

"We are just making routine inquiries. It is said that the deceased Ehara Tokio was your ex-husband, is that true?"

Saying this, Yokomori Sengo couldn't help but glance at the gorgeously dressed and extremely good-looking Kamijou Hideko, and couldn't help but be surprised that she and Ehara Tokio were once husband and wife——

After all, regarding the fireworks display incident, my impression of Ehara Tokio, the first discoverer of the case, was not very good.

But soon, Henggou Sensu's expression returned to seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Kamijou Hideko's expression looked a little cold, and she said with a slightly angry tone:

"That's right. Tokio Ehara is my ex-husband! But we ended up three years ago!"

"Is there any reason for this?"

Henggou understood this and couldn't help but ask.

"reason……"

Hearing this word, Kamijou Hideko seemed a little excited:

"Because I found out later that he was actually a hacker!"

"H-Hacker?"

Hearing this, Henggou Zhenshu was surprised.

"That's right! Although his annoying personality is one of the reasons, in any case, he is also an excellent programmer and has made a considerable contribution to the development of my company. Originally, I still I can tolerate him... but since I found out that he is secretly the kind of bad guy who steals other people's computer information at will, the most hated person in our computer industry, I divorced him decisively!"

Kamijou Hideko spoke sternly about this matter, and his emotions were very exciting. Following this topic, his emotions seemed to be uncontrollable. Kamijou Hideko began to ask questions about Yokomori Sengo:

"So, what are you asking me about now? Do you suspect that his death has something to do with me? I have already told you that I have something to do with Mr. Maeda, Miss Sayama and the two girls next to the detective. We have been together during the period of time when we sent the message, and we have a perfect alibi..."

Having said this, Kamijou Hideko's mood eased slightly, then paused and suddenly said:

"By the way! Several other people who participated in this event with us, such as Mr. Jincheng and Mr. Konno, although they were not with us at the time, they were indeed at the outdoor restaurant at the time. If I must say it, it was that person who The detective was nowhere to be seen. If you doubt the cause of Ehara Tokio's death, you should also doubt the detective! What on earth are you investigating now?"

In response, hearing Kamijou Hideko's rhetorical question, several police officers present couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing how to respond.

As for Henggou's enlightenment, at this moment, he couldn't help but recall what Gao Yuan had said to him before starting the inquiry——

"It doesn't matter what the police will investigate on them. It's just that doing this now is to make the possible real culprits misunderstand that the police's view of Mr. Jiang Yuan's death is still limited to the event that Mr. Jiang Yuan participated in." Izu Mysterious Journey' above, so that it is possible to make the other party relax their vigilance! ”

Originally, before the interrogation started, Henggou Shenwu planned to invite Gao Yuan to sit in on the interrogation so that he could help make suggestions, but Gao Yuan refused and said so.

"You said the possible real culprit?"

Somewhat puzzled, Henggou said in surprise.

"Because judging from the current clues, it is not completely certain whether Mr. Jiang Yuan's fall was an accident or a murder. And even if it was a murder, since it has been confirmed that Mr. Jiang Yuan could not have fallen in the room of those of us who participated in the activity, And almost everyone who participated in this event was at an outdoor restaurant at the time of the incident. Therefore, it is basically impossible for the murderer to be among these people, and it is more likely that the murderer is someone else. "

Gao Yuan explained this seriously:

"So, the greater significance of the police now questioning people who participated in the event is that if there is such a possible real culprit, it can at least make the other party relax their vigilance. We currently don't have the slightest clue, so once that person If the possible real culprit is alert, the incident may be more difficult to investigate.”

——Recalling this, Henggou's thoughts returned to the present, and he looked at Kamijou Hideko in front of him with a slightly solemn expression.

"Anyway, let's try to delay it for a while..."

With this thought in mind, Henggou Sengo continued to say to Kamijou Hideko:

"Having said that, Mr. Jiangyuan is dead after all, and our police must investigate the matter clearly."

"snort……"

Faced with Yokomori's words, Kamijou Hideko couldn't help but said:

"If you say that, does it mean that the police still think there is another hidden agenda in this incident? Although I don't know who killed him, I believe that my colleagues in the industry feel the same as me about his death. It's very satisfying... Ah, by the way, I remember that Ms. Sayama's brother also ran a small computer software company, so I think she must have the same feeling."

Saying that, Kamijou Hideko paused and said meaningfully to Yokomori:

"In short, as far as I know, all the participants in this event have the motive to kill him, and only the detective who participated on behalf of others, I don't know the details at all..."

…

At the same time, on the other side, Gao Yuan and Conan came to the parking lot outside the hotel and started looking for something——

"So, Mr. Akechi still thinks there is something wrong with Mr. Michowaki?"

Conan couldn't help but ask with some understanding of Gao Yuan's choice.

And Gao Yuan did not refute. At this time, it is not a bad thing to have Conan to help think with him. At least regarding Masahiko Michowaki, Conan must have been in contact with him longer than himself:

"That's right. When Mr. Ehara fell from the building, Mr. Michowaki was not with us. Don't you think this is too coincidental? So for the two incidents that happened tonight, we will start investigating whether they will happen again. There will be a connection!”

With a serious expression, Gao Yuan said seriously...
