No matter what, since you can't catch the tail of the Black Organization at the moment, dealing with the suspected drug dealer Chizo Okura is one of the most important things at the moment.
Hattori Heiji and Conan returned to the crowd and whispered to Otaki Police Department their speculation about the identity of the "low-key guest".
"Fugitive?" Otaki policeman's face became complicated. "If I had known, I would have sent more people to search the mountains."
The owner's wife squeezed beside her and eavesdropped. When she heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll just say it! That customer looked like he was not a good person, he must have beaten my husband to death!"
Jiang Xia came to her senses and looked at her: "I almost forgot that your affairs have not been resolved yet - you just asked me what evidence do I have?"
The owner's wife felt a thud and said with a thorn in her heart, "Yes, yes, why do you say I killed someone?"
Jiang Xia pointed to her neckline speechlessly: "Let's not talk about fingerprints and clothes that are stuck with gunpowder, can you explain why your neck is covered with human blood?"
"?!" The owner's wife instinctively covered the position he pointed at. Her face changed when she touched the sticky touch with her fingertips.
——She felt something was wrong with her neck, but she thought she was running back in a hurry, sweat soaked her neckline.
But now, judging from what this detective said, is it...
"Boss, why are blood stuck in your collar?"
The old farmer and the hawk trainer looked carefully and were startled. He just found that the color of the owner's wife's neckline was a bit strange, but the blood stuck to the inside of the collar. He was embarrassed to stare at that position and keep looking, so he had to convince himself that it was something that was stained with coffee. But...
In everyone's shocked and puzzled eyes, Jiang Xia continued: "This position is the same as the blood-stained part of your husband's clothes - it should be that you put on his coat and pretended to be him, and when you came out to wave to us, you accidentally touched yourself."
“…”
Otaki Police Department was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that the prisoner was a little embarrassed for Osaka. He cleared his throat, interrupted the embarrassing silence, and asked the owner's wife: "Do you have anything else to say?"
The owner's wife's face turned red and her expression was so complicated that she seemed to have a palette knocked over her face.
She stiffened for a long time, and finally broke the can and said, "There is nothing to say, I killed him."
When the old farmer and the hawk trainer heard this neat answer, they couldn't believe it: "It's really you? Why did you kill him? Haven't your relationship always been very good?"
The owner's wife gritted her teeth and grabbed her nails into her palms: "Because of that bastard, she actually wanted to sell this store, but she still packed all the facilities and sold them at a low price!"
Two old employees who suddenly lost their jobs: "?!" Is there such a thing??
The store manager's wife said heavy: "A few days ago, I had something to look for him and found that there were rare customers in the store. I was worried that I would disturb them to talk about the serious matters, so I didn't go there. I waited in the corridor, but after a while, the more I heard it, the more I felt that it was wrong - it was actually a sales contract.
"I don't understand why he suddenly sold the store. I ran downstairs to ask, and he told me that he wanted to sell it and start over.
"This is a shop that we two have built bit by bit after resigning. All the wood carvings and small toys here are carved by me. I think about how to run the cafe better every day... After so many years of hard work, how could I let it go easily?
"I tried to argue with him, hoping he could take back his decision, but he just shouted and asked me to shut up, thinking I was annoying..."
While recording, Otaki police department nodded thoughtfully: "So you decided to kill him?"
"I didn't...at least not at that time." The owner's wife covered her face in pain:
"I heard the anxiety and irritability in his words. I thought about it carefully and felt it was right. There were fewer customers here every day, and the mountains were still too remote. Although I was very reluctant, it might be a wise choice to change places and start over again.
"I just sorted out my mood and told him I would order a few boxes to pack the wood carvings so that it would be convenient for moving.
"But he actually sneered and told me not to waste my time. He said that this store and I were a burden to him - his so-called new life was thrown away with me!"
Speaking of this, her clear eyes gradually became bottomless, like a dark vortex:
"I really didn't expect that he was such a bastard. After breaking his fantasy about him, I looked back and realized that he seemed to have looked down on me and this mountain village from the beginning. He just thought we were easy to manipulate, so he kept acting with me under that mask."
Hattori Heiji remembered the fact that the dead shop owner took in Chisao Okura, and he vaguely understood:
The reason why this shop owner resigned was probably to concentrate on the drug business.
It looks a bit suspicious when a person and a few big men are hiding together in the mountains. At this time, just by finding a foolish love-brained wife to walk with you, you can transform all the suspicious things into leisurely pastoral scenery like "men farming, women weaving".
The store manager raised his head and looked at the cafe she was extremely familiar with: "Although I don't know why he did this, since that's the case, I'll let him taste the 'gunshot' of me and this small mountain village - the 'gunshot' of the popcorn machine, the rush of the eagle, and my ability to make the machine, this can be regarded as avenging us three poor people who were fooled by him."
The old farmer and the hawk trainer took a step back and looked at her with a trembling gaze, feeling a sense of fear of being pulled by someone to stab the deceased.
...
No matter what, the murder case came to an end.
Otaki police department was asking his subordinates to take the person into the police car. At this moment, his cell phone was shocked and someone called.
The subordinates said excitedly: "Police Department, we found the fugitive you just mentioned! - He should have been hiding in a cave before, and found that we were searching for the mountains. He realized that we could not hide, so he ran out. We are chasing him now, and we have someone to drive, and we will be able to catch the person soon!"
"Not bad!" Otaki police department was surprised first, and then cautiously instructed, "The other party may have weapons on it, so be sure to pay attention to safety when chasing."
Subordinate: "Yes!"
After making the phone call, Otaki police department looked at a group of high school students in the room: "I'll go over and see, you can stay here, don't run around."
The two clerks had just come back to their senses from the shock of "The boss lady killed the boss!" and "I feel like I'm unemployed!". When they heard this, they were stunned again.
...The low-key customer in the store who had no desires and no desires before was actually a fugitive?!
