Chapter 986 Right, Then Who is the Culprit [Adding More for Mengzhu Yisheng Yonghui]
“That’s right, Sachiko did have a Boyfriend before.”
At the Kawamura Family Home nearby, the Hostess stood at the Entrance, nodding to confirm. She looked towards Kazunobu Chiba, “Actually, I mentioned it to that Police Officer before.”
Kazunobu Chiba saw Mouri Ran turn her Head to look at her, and scratched his Head, “Ah, yes, so we wanted to ask you again to understand more about her Boyfriend, whether they broke up, or…”
“His name is Henmi, and he’s a Mountain Climbing Enthusiast. Sachiko and him were Dating since school,” the Woman recalled, “Five years ago, Henmi went Mountain Climbing as usual, but this time the Place he went to had an Accident, and he has been Offline ever since. The Police Organization organized a Search Command and Rescue, but they didn’t find his Corpse. However, based on the Situation at the Time, it was Judged that Henmi had Likely died.”
Wataru Takagi and Kazunobu Chiba exchanged a Look.
Mountain Climbing Enthusiast, died in an Accident, the Photo on the Table, and what the Neighbor heard Sachiko Nishimura say last Night, combined, Sachiko Nishimura really might have been missing her Boyfriend who died in an Accident five years ago last Night.
“That Time when Henmi left, when Sachiko went to see Henmi off, I also went with her. Henmi also said, telling Sachiko to rest assured, that he would be back on the 25th. Sachiko also happily said that she would make delicious food to wait for him to come back. He also Smilingly Joke, saying he wanted the thick kind of Steak,” the Woman sighed, “Who could have Unexpectedly thought that Henmi would never come back after this trip? Those two were really a Pity. I’ve always wanted to let Sachiko get out of it, but I didn’t expect that this kind of thing would happen to her again.”
“Then, may I ask, did anything happen on the 25th half a year ago?” Wataru Takagi asked seriously.
Now there is still a Problem: since Sachiko Nishimura’s Boyfriend from before died in an Accident five years ago, then why did Nishimura's Colleague say that her current Boyfriend started Dating half a year ago, and the Dates every month also started half a year ago?
Conan also looked at this Hostess, pondering all kinds of Possibilities in his Brain.
Half a year ago, that Mr. Henmi came back, and in order to deceive the Insurance, he Concealed that he was not dead to the outside world?
Wrong, if the Person really came back, and Sachiko Nishimura was secretly meeting with Henmi, then there should be Traces of Male Guest visiting at Nishimura's Home…
“Half a year ago?” The Woman recalled for A Bit, and shook her Head, “I’m not sure either. In recent years, Sachiko has been desperately Work, and we only get together when both of us are free. And in the year before last, I also married my current Husband. Last year to the beginning of this Year was just the Time when I was pregnant and waiting to give Birth. Half a year ago, My Child was just born, and up to this Time, I have been taking care of my Child every Day. I only met Sachiko once not long after My Child was born, and we haven’t seen each other since.”
Wataru Takagi Nodded, “I See…”
“Then may I ask where Mr. Henmi’s Home is?” Conan looked up and asked, “Are there other People in his Home?”
“His Parents are all at Home, and their Home is not very far from here…”
The Woman turned her Head to Look Towards a Direction, and told A Group of People the Location of Henmi Family Home.
A Group of People found Henmi Family Home again. Mr. Henmi's Father was not at Home, only an Old Mother with white hair was at Home.
Facing the Old Woman’s Invitation, A Group of People did not enter the Door, and just stood at the Entrance to understand the Situation.
“The 25th half a year ago? That Day happened to be the Day My Old Man received his Salary,” the Old Woman said, with a painful sense of sadness in her Eyes, “It was also the Day My Child came back.”
Wataru Takagi was surprised, “Ca- Came back Day?”
“Yes, We have a Son, who went out Mountain Climbing five years ago and encountered a Mountain Accident. We couldn’t even find his Corpse. But half a year ago, Police came to our Home, saying that someone found his Backpack on that Mountain, with the Things he took with him inside, and also a roll of Negative that he had taken,” the Old Woman’s Eyes reddened, “That Child, he Liked to take a lot of Landscape Photo when Mountain Climbing and bring them back for us to Look.”
Wataru Takagi was Silent for A Bit. Although he didn’t want to reopen old wounds, but now he still had to investigate the Case, and immediately took out his Mobile Phone, flipped out the saved Photos of those Photos found on Sachiko Nishimura’s Table, and handed it to the Old Woman, “Then may I ask, are these Photos?”
The Old Woman Stared at the Mobile Phone and Looked, and Nodded, “That’s right, these are the Photos. My Son had a Girlfriend who he had been Dating since school, and I Think he must have wanted to show those Photos to that Girl called Sachiko, so that Day I made a Phone Call to let Sachiko Come Over and gave her the Photos.”
Conan lowered his Head and pondered. In this way, the Photos on the Table, and Nishimura's Colleague saying that she started Dating a Boyfriend half a year ago, these two Points can all be explained.
“May I ask…” The Old Woman hesitated for A Bit, “Did something happen to Sachiko that the two Police Officer came here?”
“This…” Kazunobu Chiba hesitated, “Something A Bit happened, but it’s not convenient to reveal it for the Time being, so…”
The Old Woman didn’t ask any more questions, and Nodded.
Leaving the Henmi Family Home area, Wataru Takagi and Kazunobu Chiba breathed a long Sigh of relief.
Following closely behind, Mouri Ran sighed.
Before coming here, she was still struggling.
If Chi Feichei was right, then it would mean that Sachiko Nishimura had been busy Work these years and had no Interest in Dating a Boyfriend, Just Because she couldn’t let go of her Boyfriend from before, and from half a year ago, one Day of Happiness every month was Just herself deceiving herself.
But if Chi Feichei was wrong, then it would mean that the Murderer who Murdered Sachiko Nishimura was very Likely the Boyfriend she was so Happy and Expectation to meet.
She really didn’t Know which Answer being Correct was Better, and after knowing the Answer, her Emotion was even lower.
Conan looked at Mouri Ran, and spoke out to shift Mouri Ran’s Attention, and also to remind the two Police Officers who looked melancholy, “Since Miss Sachiko didn’t meet with her Boyfriend at all last Night, then who would be the Person who Murdered her?”
Wataru Takagi, “……”
Right, then who would be the Person who Murdered Miss Nishimura?
Kazunobu Chiba, “……”
Looking at it this way, their Police still have to re-investigate Miss Nishimura’s Interpersonal Relationship, and it’s also not ruled out that it was Random Murder…
Chi Feichei, “……”
Is it that he pushed the Progress too Fast, so that the Suspect Clues that should have appeared haven’t appeared yet?
But there’s no Method, he doesn’t remember this Case, and plus, he’s been quite bored Recently, and wanted to find some Matters to activate his Brain, so he Just… like this.
Then can the Clues still appear?
“Could it be a regular Customer at her Home?” Haibara Ai speculated, “There are three pairs of Women's Slippers that are frequently used at Home. The Frequency of use of two of them is similar, and when Miss Nishimura’s Corpse was discovered, she was at Home, and should have been wearing a pair of Slippers on her Foot. In Other Words, even if one of them is her Change of Slippers, then there are still two Female Guest who are regular Customers at her Home…”
“I’ve understood this,” Kazunobu Chiba took out his Notebook, “The two Females who often go to her Home are both her Colleague, and they are also the People who went to her Home to check the Situation Because they discovered that she was absent without asking for leave. As the first discoverers of the Crime Scene, I understood their Alibi at the Time of the Crime. Because the Crime Time happened to be Dinner Time, they were all eating Dinner with their Family, so they all have Alibi.”
Wataru Takagi had a Headache, “Miss Nishimura’s Interpersonal Relationship is very simple. She is usually very busy Work. Apart from Company Colleague, she rarely interacts with other People, and no one said that she had Enmity with anyone, or that anyone was dissatisfied with her…”
Mori Kogoro stroked his chin, “There are no Traces of ransacking in her Home, so there should be no Money lost, right? Then it’s not Murdered by a Burglar or encountered a Burglary Murder…”
Kazunobu Chiba also had a Headache, “There are also no Traces of violation, so it’s Probably not a Pervert or something who followed her Home…”
“Acquaintance Crime,” Chi Feichei said.
Conan, who was Just about to speak out to remind them, didn’t speak out again, and felt a little Sigh in his Heart.
Little Friend is also full of energy today, Probably like Ran, feeling that Miss Sachiko Nishimura’s Matter is quite a Pity, and also holding back a breath, wanting to Help find the Culprit.
Chi Feichei saw other People Look at him, and explained, “Miss Nishimura fell at the Entrance, Just next to the Cabinet where the Phone is placed. It is not yet clear whether she wanted to Call before she died, but there are no Traces of Struggle or Resistance at the Scene, and there are no Traces of the Door Lock being pried open, so the Other Party should not be a Stranger. Miss Nishimura opened the Door for the Other Party, and did not Think that the Other Party would Murder or Rob her.”
Conan Nodded.
Correct, judging from the Situation at the Scene, it is Acquaintance Crime, then it eliminates the Possibility of a Murderer Random Murder.
Mouri Ran also Understood, “In Other Words, we still have to investigate the People Sachiko knows…”
Wataru Takagi made a Phone Call to report the Situation, and called Kazunobu Chiba to go to the Company together to investigate Sachiko Nishimura’s Interpersonal Relationship and investigate the Alibi of Sachiko Nishimura's Company Colleague.
In this way, the Police have a lot of Matters to be busy with, and they can’t take care of taking Mori Kogoro to understand the Situation.
Mori Kogoro Decided to take A Group of Little Friend and Child Home, and wait until Night to Call Wataru Takagi to ask about the Investigation Result.
Conan silently recalled the Investigation Situation of the entire Case, and discovered that there really are no other Clues at Present. He can only go back and wait for the Police’s Investigation Result.
He rarely encounters this kind of Case. The existing Clues have all been interpreted, but there is not a single Clue about the Criminal, which makes him feel very Uncomfortable…
Chi Feichei also remained Silent all the way.
Investigating Interpersonal Relationship, investigating Alibi, if there is Surveillance Camera, Check Surveillance Camera, if there is no Surveillance Camera, then conduct interviews and Investigation… these are all Normal Police Case Procedure, and many Cases have to be investigated like this.
Inspector Megure has other Cases in hand, and the biggest Manager of this Case is only Wataru Takagi and Kazunobu Chiba. If he Calls to ask at Night, I’m afraid that even the Alibi of Nishimura's Company Colleague has not been verified, and it will take at least until Tomorrow Afternoon.
In Other Words, even if Conan wants to Solve a Case this Time, he will have to wait at least two or three Days to get a Suspect List, and then go to investigate the Situation one by one, and Help catch the Culprit…
Apart from Movie, there are very few Cases that can allow Famous Detective to investigate for two or three Days, but he has no Impression of this Case at all, indicating that not only is it not a Movie, but the Crime Method may not be new, and the Culprit may not be too eye-catching. In fact, the more ordinary Cases are, the more difficult it is to Solve a Case quickly. This Plot may have really been pushed to collapse by his Progress.
