Chapter 1018: Clues to Izakaya
Tuesday, January 8, evening, Maori House.
Conan trembled and watched TV with Concubine Yingli, until Lan came out of the room after doing his homework, and then he had a feeling that the clouds had cleared.
Lan was pleasantly surprised to see Concubine Yingli and Secretary Kuriyama, but after greeting them, he complained to Conan, "Conan, why didn't you inform me? ”
Conan defended: "It was my aunt who didn't let me say it." ”
"Not bad. Fei Yingli said.
"Mom, what is the matter with you coming here?" Lan asked with a smile, "Are you planning to move back in?"
"Don't fight the ghost idea. Fei Yingli said angrily, and continued, "I'm here to find that guy." ”
"Daddy?" said Ran, "he's not here, so I'll call him and call him back." ”
"Don't fight, that guy is off. Fei Yingli clenched her fists and said, "Damn fellow." ”
"Well," Lan advised, "Mom, don't be angry, Dad's mobile phone may be out of battery by chance." Then the topic diverged, "Mom, what are you looking for Dad?"
Fei Yingli said: "You don't have to worry about it, go about your own business, you have to go to school tomorrow." ”
"Oh, Mom, let's hear it. Lan pulled Fei Yingli's shoulder and said coquettishly, and then laughed evilly, "Ah, I see, are you planning to date?"
"Less nonsense. Fei Yingli said angrily, and then said, "There are some things I want to know from him." ”
Conan perked up, "Auntie, is it for what event?"
Lan asked, "Isn't it, Mom?"
"Yes. Fei Yingli said.
"Then you can go here and find Daddy. Ran went to the kitchen and got a box of matches, "That's what the box says about this Miki izakaya." ”
Secretary Kuriyama couldn't help but smile and said, "The teacher has been there before, but Mr. Mori ran away as soon as he saw the teacher when he came in, and now I don't know where he went." ”
"Huh?" Lan was a little angry, "Dad, how could he do that." Then he asked, "By the way, will it be next door?"
Fei Yingli said: "No, I went to see it just now, and Miko said that he didn't come there often lately. ”
"There's no way around it. Lan said, then changed the topic and chatted with Concubine Yingli about other things, until the door opened at half past ten in the evening, and Lan immediately went to the door.
Maori was drunk, "Hey, Lan, why haven't you slept yet?"
Lan forked his waist and said, "It's so late, where have you been!"
Maori scratched his face a little embarrassed, "I ran into that guy, and then I found a random one." ”
"Really?" said Lan, "then you should please explain it to her." As he spoke, he took Maori and left.
"Me?" Before Maori could react, he was pulled to the door of the living room by Lan, and was taken aback when he saw Fei Yingli, "Why are you here?"
"Of course there's something looking for you. Fei Yingli said angrily.
Lan let go of Maori, "You sit down first, I'll make a bag of decanting soup." With that, he went to the kitchen
Maori staggered down at the table, "What's the matter?"
Fei Yingli covered her mouth and nose, "The smell of alcohol in your body, how much wine have you drunk?"
"You smell it. Maori smiled evilly and was angry at Fei Yingli, but Fei Yingli was stuffed with a handkerchief.
"Phew, phew. Maori spat out the handkerchief, "Want to know how much I drink? That's a secret." ”
"Damn. Fei Yingli slammed her fist on the table.
"Okay, okay, the sobering soup is ready, Mom, you can bear with it a little longer. Ran came out and poured the decanting soup down to Maori.
After a while, Maori shook his head and said with a bit of sobriety: "Let's talk about something." ”
Fei Yingri asked, "Have you been at Miki Izakaya for a while?" Have you heard about the murder of the husband of the proprietress Masako Kameyama, Usami Shinji?"
Maori said: "Yes, I know him, and I know the people he killed." ”
"Do you know them?" Fei Yingli was surprised.
"Well, they're all regulars there, and I think the deceased was surnamed Hirasawa," Maori said after a moment's thought, "but I don't know what it's called, what it does, and who asks about those things when I'm drinking." ”
Fei Yingli asked, "Mr. Usami is a regular customer there, is this true?"
Maori said, "Well, seriously, he's not a regular customer. ”
"Huh?" exclaimed Fei Yingli, "you explain it to me!"
"I've touched him a few times, but I've heard he's been visiting the store all the time," says Maori. ”
Fei Yingli asked, "Then what is the unusual situation with him? Did he keep an eye on Mr. Hirazawa?"
"Abnormal?" said Maori, "he was fine when he went with his colleagues, but when he came alone, he was drinking alone, and I really don't know if he was staring at Mr. Hirazawa." Then he asked, "Do they have a grudge? Didn't you say that Mr. Usami killed Mr. Hirasawa because he was jealous?"
"Huh, jealous?" asked Fei Yingli, "What's going on?"
Mori said, "Oh, Mr. Hirasawa got drunk and laughed with the proprietress that day, and I heard that Mr. Usami couldn't stand it, so I went to teach Mr. Hirazawa a lesson, and then killed him by mistake." ”
"Wait," Fei Yingri asked, "'That day' means that you met Mr. Hirazawa and Mr. Usami at the Miki izakaya on the day of the crime?"
"yes. Maori nodded.
Fei Yingli asked, "Then what time was it when you ran into them?"
"What time is it?" said Maori, after a moment's thought, "about half past six in the evening." ”
Fei Yingli asked, "After that, when did they leave?"
"When," Mori said after a moment's thought, "Mr. Usami left after half past eight in the evening, and Mr. Hirazawa left after half past nine in the evening." ”
Fei Yingli asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, the clock on the wall rang," Maori said. ”
"Zhong again?" Fei Yingli asked, "It can't be adjusted, right?"
"How is it possible, so many guests are here. Maori said angrily, and then reacted, "Wait, you suspect the boss lady?"
"If you want to talk about the motive for killing, she has it too. Fei Yingli said, and then told the story of the loss of their beloved son by Usami and his wife.
"So there is such a thing. Maori said, then asked, "When was the time of death?"
Fei Yingli said: "Between half past nine and ten in the evening. ”
Maori smiled: "Ah, that's definitely not the boss lady." ”
Fei Yingli asked, "Why is it impossible?"
Mori said: "The closing time of the Miki izakaya is half past ten in the evening, and there are so many customers, how can the proprietress go to kill people." ”
Fei Yingli asked, "Are you sure she's been at the izakaya?"
"Well," Maori thought thoughtfully, "I can't remember." ”
"Huh?" Fei Yingli straightened her triangular eyes.
"Dad, think about it again. Lan shouted.
"Long-winded, I can't remember it, I can't remember it. "Also, it's getting late, go back to bed." ”
"By the way," Fei Yingli said, "Lan, Conan, there's nothing for you here, go and rest." ”
"Oh. Lan and Conan said goodbye and went back to their rooms, but they both hid behind the door and eavesdropped.
Fei Yingli said: "You give me another good thought." ”
Maori yawned lazily, "I can't remember, I'm going to wash up and rest now, you can go back and rest too, or stay here tonight?"
Fei Yingli shouted, "Damn, who wants to share a room with you, a drunkard." Then he got up and said to Secretary Kuriyama, "Let's go back." ”……
Wednesday, January 9, morning, Reiko Kujo's Prosecutor's Office.
Okamoto's assistant came to report that regarding the murder of Maharu Usami, Fei Yingri handed the police a document requesting an investigation, asking the police to investigate the guests who were at the Miki izakaya on the night of the crime.
"Oh," Reiko Kujo asked, after a moment's thought, "Miki izakaya is the one opened by the suspect's ex-wife, right?"
Okamoto's assistant said: "Yes, the suspect just said that he had a big fight with the deceased by chance, but he never said where he met the deceased, and now it seems that it should be related to this Miki izakaya." ”
Reiko Kujou muttered to herself in confusion, "But why didn't he say it?"
Okamoto's assistant said, "Maybe he doesn't want to cause trouble for his ex-wife. ”
"Maybe. Reiko Kujou said, and then smiled a little excitedly, "I found a new clue so quickly, and I deserve to be a concubine lawyer." ”
Okamoto's assistant said, "I heard that it was the Maori detective who provided the clue. ”
Reiko Kujou asked, "Maori detective?"
Okamoto's assistant said: "It's the detective Mori Kogoro, who is the husband of the concubine's lawyer, but the two are now separating. ”
"It turned out to be him. Reiko Kujou smiled, "So on the day of the crime, Detective Maori was also in Miki Izakaya? ”
Okamoto's assistant asked, "So, would you like to meet the Maori detective who provided the clues?"
Reiko Kujou said: "Don't worry, wait until the police have investigated." ”……
