Chapter 741 Brother Xiu wouldn't smile so cheaply
Chu Ming pointed to the rubber band, lipstick marks and long hair that Shiliang had just found, and asked him to look at it himself: "Look, these are all evidence."
"These must be the female companions that Mr. Subaru brought back!" Conan immediately passed the blame, "Brother Shinichi hasn't been back during this period of time."
"How do you know he didn't come back?" Yuanzi cast a suspicious look at him, "Little ghost, do you know something, or does that narcissist contact you every time he comes back? Then why didn't you tell Xiaolan?"
"I didn't, Shinichi-nii hasn't contacted me during this period." Conan denied it immediately, and then thought of a solution, "I deduced it."
He put the file bag in his hand on the table and racked his brains to think of how to break the deadlock: "When I went to get the photos before, I found a thin layer of dust on the desk on the first floor of the study. It must have been a while since anyone touched it. Sister Xiaolan once said that Brother Xinyi likes to sit in the study every time he comes back. Doesn't this dust prove that he hasn't been back for a while!"
Since Sera was determined to stir up trouble, and knowing Conan's identity, she would not let him successfully refute her, and sang the opposite tune: "Kudo Shinichi is a famous detective. Since he would secretly bring someone back without telling his girlfriend, he would naturally be on guard against his girlfriend who would come to help him clean up at any time. Maybe this was a deliberately fake scene?"
Conan's eyes widened. It's easy to find excuses to accuse someone of a crime!
She is so friendly to Conan, why does she have such hostility towards Kudo Shinichi?
"Then we can ask Mr. Okiya. He has been living here. If Shinichi-nii-san has come back, he will definitely know!"
Shira continued to talk nonsense: "What if Mr. Okiya helped him hide it?"
Conan felt that Shira was targeting him, and he scratched his head anxiously, thinking about who else could be his witness: "Brother Chu Ming also lives nearby, he must know, and there is also Dr. Agasa, he is next door..."
Yuanzi rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you so anxious? He didn't say anything about you, so why are you explaining for him? Xiaolan, take a picture of the evidence and go find that arrogant guy and let him explain himself."
After hearing what Sonoko said, Xiaolan had an idea and looked at Conan who was scratching his head. Seeing that he was so anxious that he was sweating, her doubts grew deeper and deeper.
However, she did not speak. If it was really as she guessed, even if she asked, Conan would find a way to dispel her suspicion. So now, she couldn't alert the enemy. It would be best to record all the evidence as Sera said. The truth will come out one day.
At that time, she will settle the accounts with Kudo Shinichi.
She raised her hand and pulled Conan to her side, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said softly: "Okay, they are obviously teasing you. You usually act like a little adult, but now you look like a child."
Conan looked up at Xiaolan's gentle appearance, his face flushed a little, and he quickly pointed to the documents on the table to cover up: "The photos you want to see are here."
Several people gathered around to look at the photos from that year and found that the words on the photos were exactly the same as what they saw at the scene this morning.
"If that's the case, then isn't it a serial murder case?" Sonoko murmured.
Shiliang crossed his arms and said, "I have researched this case online, but there is no relevant report. That is to say, this case was not made public at the time. This rules out the possibility of a copycat, so this can only be a serial murder case..."
Conan frowned tightly: "Impossible, my father, Shinichi's brother's father, clearly said that he guaranteed in the name of Kudo Yusaku that this murderer would never appear again..."
"How did you know what your brother Shinichi's father said?" Shira would not miss any opportunity to hit Conan, "Speaking of which, Xiaolan showed me the photos of her and Kudo when they were children. You and Kudo Shinichi looked alike when you were children. Are you related?"
Conan waved his hands in panic: "Shinichi-nii told me, as for the resemblance, that was just a coincidence..."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Xiaolan's expression. Seeing that she was still smiling, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xiaolan didn't doubt him, it was fine.
Xiaolan saw all of Conan's little movements, but she didn't say anything. She just brought the topic back to the case: "I also remember Shinichi complaining to me before, saying that the palms and fingers of the deceased were stained with blood, but the fingertips were clean, which means that these were not the words written by the deceased himself, so why is it not a murder case..."
Sera took out the document that was placed together with the photo from the file bag, looked at the detailed case content written on it, and carefully looked for similarities between it and the case that happened this morning.
Chu Ming listened to a few people whispering together for a long time, yawned out of boredom, and when he raised his eyes, he met the gaze of Okiya Subaru who was leaning against the door and looking inside.
Chu Ming blinked and saw Okiya Subaru walk in and go straight to Sera. He took the information from her hand very naturally and looked at it carefully. While reading, he also put forward his own ideas. The whole process was very smooth.
Everyone was obviously surprised that he joined in so readily. They stared at him without saying a word. Subaru Okiya pushed his glasses, looked up and smiled shyly: "Excuse me, I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes. I just happened to pass by the door and heard you talking about the case. I was curious so I came in to take a look...ah, sorry, I'm meddling..."
"No, it would be good to have one more person to help with the analysis." Shira shook her head and focused on the photo in her hand. She was probably too tired recently. Why did she always feel that she saw the shadow of Xiu Ge in this person... But it was definitely impossible. Xiu Ge would never smile in such a worthless way.
Several people got together to analyze the information for a long time, but this time Xiaolan and the others just encountered this case on the way to school, and they didn't know much about the details, so Conan immediately thought of the good guy in the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Takagi, a member of the Boy Detective Group, and suggested calling him to ask for relevant information.
As expected, Takagi, who answered every question, and Ko's eldest disciple, Watari, told everyone he knew. He didn't know much, because the case had been treated as a theft case and transferred to the Third Investigation Division for handling.
After hearing the information provided by Takagi, Sera frowned, and Conan was also confused. This was clearly a murder case, why was it treated as a theft case?
Sonoko slammed the table, as if she had seen through the truth: "Could it be that, like in the movies, the criminal is a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department or a wealthy financial executive, so even though the police are mad at him, they are helpless and have to let him get away with it?"
Conan looked at Sonoko with an especially speechless look. Watching too many TV dramas really affects one's IQ. Aren't you the daughter of a wealthy financial family?
