Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 329: They Are All Victims

Early the next morning, Gao Cheng learned that Qingliu Yuren's younger sister Yaoxiang almost committed suicide by cutting her wrist, and hurried to Qingliu's house with Kaga.

Because Mrs. Qingliu discovered it in time, the girl was fine, but her mental state was very bad, and she temporarily fell asleep in the bedroom after undergoing a medical bandage.

"Students at school said some unpleasant things, and everyone on the Internet said that my husband should be killed..." Mrs. Qingliu said wearily, "I can only ask for leave for a while..."

"What an idiot, wouldn't suicide be the same as admitting that Dad did something wrong?"

Qingliu Youren stood by his sister's bed for a while, ignored Mrs. Qingliu and Gao Cheng who pushed the door in, turned and left the room.

Although he was still unwilling to communicate with the police, his attitude towards his father had completely changed.

"I said yesterday that my father deserved it..."

Gao Cheng sighed, "Did he know something? Has he met anyone?"

"This," Mrs. Qingliu wondered, "I don't know too well..."

"Boom!"

Gao Cheng walked outside Qingliu Youren's bedroom and knocked on the door: "Youren, can I ask a few questions?"

No response from the room, Gao Cheng continued: "Three years ago, Xiuwenkan Junior High School held a swimming competition, right? Did you participate in that competition? And Yoshinaga Yuyuki, the student who was almost drowned... you should you know?"

In the bedroom, Qingliu Youren's expression changed slightly, he grasped his fingers tightly and looked towards the door.

"So what if you know?"

"Half a year ago, your father went to worship at the Water Heaven Palace. The Water Heaven Palace not only prayed for a safe delivery, but also prayed for the avoidance of water disasters... What happened to the accident three years ago may be related to your father's incident. You can tell Us?"

"I can't answer your question," Qingliu Youren grabbed his fingers even tighter, opened the door and looked directly at Gao Cheng and the two said, "If it's okay, can you let me have a quiet meeting alone?"

"Dididi!" Gao Cheng's phone vibrated in his arms, he and Qingliu Yuren exchanged glances, and walked aside to answer the phone.

"Kirodo," Takagi's voice came from the other side of the phone, "Nihonbashi surveillance indeed captured Mr. Yashima,

It has been confirmed that the time was around 7:40 on the night of the incident, when the victim and others were in the coffee shop..."

"I see."

Gao Cheng felt relieved, anyway, the investigation team would not close the case easily, at least they had to find out who the other person who entered the coffee shop with the victim was.

But here Qingliu Youren refuses to say anything, it's still a bit troublesome...

Leaving Qingliu's house, Gao Cheng couldn't help shaking his head.

"It's clearly related to the truth of my father's incident... What is he hiding?"

"Looking at his appearance, it's not just my problem. We'll wait until we've been to Nagano." Kaga turned to look at the Aoyagi's mansion. "Perhaps we'll know everything after meeting Yoshinaga."

...

In Nagano County, Gao Cheng went around a long way before finding Yoshinaga's house, and he also received a call from Yokota, a worker from Yashima.

"Mr. Aoyagi doesn't seem to know about the safety hazard of Jinshi Metal, and the safety device is turned on every time he inspects it," Gao Cheng explained to Kaga, "Also, the factory manager didn't tell him about Yashima..."

"If Youren Qingliu knows, he should feel better, but he may also hate the factory director who shirks his responsibilities."

The car passed through the forest path and stopped in front of a country house. The surrounding environment was quiet, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and it was quite stylish, not worse than Qingliu's house.

Yoshinaga's family seems to be doing well...

Ringing the doorbell, a housewife in her forties opened the door doubtfully.

She doesn't look too old, but she has haggardness that doesn't match her beautiful face, which seems to be deeply imprinted on her face.

"We are the police," Gao Cheng took the initiative to explain, "We have already called before."

Kaga next to him had a strange expression and quickly took out his police ID.

The housewife nodded: "I'm Yoshinaga. My husband won't be home until the weekend. He works as a consultant for many companies in Tokyo."

"Is Yoshinaga-san at home?"

"exist."

Mrs. Guillon led the two into the living room, and a figure sat in a wheelchair in front of the garden balcony with its back facing.

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then saw Mrs. Yoshinaga turning the wheelchair, and Yoshinaga Tomoyuki sat quietly, unable to open his eyes, motionless.

"Youzhi, we have guests here..."

"What's going on here?" Gao Cheng looked at Yoshinaga Tomoyuki who looked like a living dead in front of him, and couldn't react.

"He can still breathe by himself," Mrs. Guillon said with a dark expression, "it's just..."

"Is it because of the accident three years ago?"

Gaocheng and Kaga sat down on the sofa, and soon Mrs. Yoshinaga brought tea.

"He is a child with a strong sense of responsibility. He was selected as a relay racer in the swimming competition that day. The other players are all seniors, so I was worried that I would back down..."

Mrs. Jiyong's eyes were cloudy, and she rubbed the corners of her eyes with sobs: "I will never forget that day. After the game, this kid called me and cried, saying that he really dragged everyone down...I didn't expect to sneak into the swimming pool to practice alone at night." ..."

"Is that what the school said?"

Gao Cheng thought of Qingliu Youren's concealment, and took out a photo of Qingliu Wuming: "Have you seen this person? He visits the Shuitian Temple in Nihonbashi every month, and enshrines a hundred paper cranes to pray for avoiding water disasters..."

Mrs. Guillon shook her head while holding the photo, as if thinking of something.

"Miss... Hanako from Tokyo?"

"Do you know anything?" Kaga stared slightly.

"I've been blogging," said Mrs. Yoshinaga, turning on her computer. "It's kind of like recording this child's nursing diary. There are regular messages. One of them is 'Miss Hanako from Tokyo'. She put a thousand paper cranes into Divided into ten offerings, every month I go to Nihonbashi to pay homage to the Seven Lucky Gods in turn, all praying for friends... the time started about a year ago..."

"a year ago?"

...

On the way back to Tokyo from Yoshinaga's house, the car sped along the highway.

Gao Cheng and Kaga brought Yoshinaga Tomoyuki's personal belongings, and it happened that there was an announcement for the swimmers in the swimming competition three years ago, and the consultant teacher didn't mention it.

Besides Yoshinaga Tomoyuki and Aoyagi Yuto, there are two other students.

"Tatsuya Sugino, third grade, Shota Kurosawa, third grade..."

Kaga looked at the announcement in a deep voice: "The thing that happened back then may not have been an accident, the key lies in the other two..."

"Mr. Aoyagi started visiting the shrine half a year ago, and he also opened the Internet cafe membership card without telling his family half a year ago...It is very likely that Aoyagi Yuto had been doing it half a year ago, and he was interrupted after being discovered by his father, so yesterday after learning about his father's actions It's going to be weird all of a sudden."

Gao Cheng accelerated the driving, and the thoughts in his mind were running at a high speed. For a moment, he seemed to be separated from the car and entered the thinking space, and all the clues flashed in front of his eyes.

The space returns to the origin of the event again.

A middle-aged man who staggered and exhausted his whole body while walking on Nihombashi, the Edobashi underpass where the incident happened, and the coffee shop...

The two furniture stores Fuyuki Yashima interviewed, the unicorn statue in Nihonbashi...the route home, the evasion route after the incident...

All the details converge into a line, forming an intuitive three-dimensional picture in front of the fast-moving car.

After the space and time were restored one by one, Yashima Fuyuki saw Takeaki Aoyagi across the road, and immediately detoured to catch up and rushed to the scene of the incident.

Youren Qingliu, the consultant teacher of the swimming club, Mrs. Jiyong... A lot of words were connected in Gao Cheng's ears, and he returned to Wuming Qingliu's action.

A few days before the incident, I called the consultant teacher. On the day of the incident, I went to Nihonbashi Cafe with someone...

If this person is not a consultant teacher, it is very likely that they are the other two related students, and they have a lot to do with Qingliu Youren, otherwise the victim should have left some information about the prisoner even if he didn't call for help.

The criminal should have committed the crime hastily, and fled the scene without even caring about Mr. Qingliu's life or death.

It was Mr. Aoyagi himself who wiped the fingerprints with the cloth...

"Officer Kaga, can you contact the search team to find the other two students? There is also that consultant teacher," Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts, "The real culprit is probably among them, and then check Mr. Qingliu's call records It should be possible to determine who it is, and it is not difficult to investigate the source of the jackknife..."

Tokyo, Nihonbashi Police Station, the conference room was busy, and the search and rent police officers hurried out.

"Have you found it?"

"Just contact Teacher Dao, the other two students have already gone out!"

"Tatsuya Sugino, there is a call to Sugino's house. Team A is investigating jackknives..."

"Find them quickly!"

At the head of the Nihonbashi Bridge, Tatsuya Sugino was walking on the sidewalk in a daze, trembling slightly, looking at the email from Hiroto Aoyagi on his phone.

"I have something to discuss, and we will gather at the station in the afternoon...a famous detective and a criminal are asking Yoshinaga about something that may be related to my father's incident..."

I walked to the center of the Japanese bridge in a daze, and there was still blood on the base of the unicorn lamp post.

It's the blood of Qingliu Youren's father...

Hiroto would probably hate him if he knew.

But it's all over...

When he heard that a famous detective took over the case, he had a bad feeling, but Yashima Fuyuki, the situation of that strange man gave him hope again, maybe he could escape...

But after all, it was just a glimmer of fantasy. The police found out what happened three years ago so quickly.

Back then Yoshinaga Tomoyuki caused an accident because of the three of them. Afterwards, the teacher helped them hide it. Unexpectedly, it has been so long, but Hiroto's father discovered the problem, and specially used the name of Yoshinaga's father to ask him to meet.

Thinking about it now is like a dream...

As night fell, Sugino Tatsu also struggled to climb up the stone bridge guardrail, facing the cold wind and standing with the unicorn statue on the lamppost, and the noise of inspections coming from his ears was no longer important, as long as he took a step forward.

"call!"

His body sank suddenly, and Sugino Tatsu also closed his eyes, but the imagined weightlessness did not come, and his arms were tightly grabbed from above.

Surprised, he raised his head, only to see Gao Cheng was dripping with sweat.

The veins on the back of Gao Cheng's hands bulged, and he gritted his teeth facing Sugino's gaze: "You think you can escape this way? Life is not such a simple thing, and there are still people waiting for you to clear up your grievances!"
