Soon, the Thirteenth Police Department of the Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police came to the villa where Gao Yuan and the others were staying. Gao Yuan recognized this police officer at a glance, with a kind appearance, a relatively plump body, and wearing orange clothes.
"Brother Kudo! Thank you for your hard work."
As soon as he came in, Officer Megure said to Kudo Shinichi.
"The clues you provided are very important! It is of great significance to the murder case that happened half a month ago!"
Officer Megure's words showed that the reasoning concluded by Takato and Kudo Shinichi just now existed.
"It's nothing, Officer Megure. I came up with this reasoning together with the owner of this villa, Detective Akechi!"
Kudo Shinichi said.
"Ah! Is this Detective Akechi?"
Seeing Gao Yuan on the side, Officer Memu came up and greeted him warmly, "Thank you very much for your help!"
Gao Yuan responded politely and said, "Officer Mumu, why don't you take a look at the layout of this villa first."
"Well, indeed."
Officer Mumu said, and under the leadership of Gao Yuan and others, he launched an investigation into the villa, and the police officers behind him also followed.
After briefly browsing the layout of the villa, Officer Memu replied in the affirmative.
"That's right. It's exactly the same as that villa!"
"So, Officer Megure, what kind of case is this?"
Mao Lilan asked.
"The specific content is similar to what Brother Kudo speculated. About half a month ago, the president of Mihua Jingcheng Cleaning Company, Nishino Jingcheng, was killed at home. The time of death was probably between 0:00 and 1:00 in the morning. According to the interview and investigation of Nishino
Regarding the husband's interpersonal relationship, we found a person who had a grudge against him.
"That person was originally an employee of Miwa Jingcheng Cleaning Company, and was considered Nishino's right-hand man, named Takemura Kengo. But two years ago, he was fired by Nishino due to a work accident, and he has harbored a grudge against Nishino ever since. But he was found by the police
Later, he said that he had an alibi, saying that he and his friend Uchihaimo drank in a newly built villa in Shizuoka Prefecture that day and did not leave until the early morning. This was evidenced by photos of the two of them drinking together at that time. And that house
It would take more than three hours at the fastest to reach the crime scene in Nishino from the villa, so it is impossible for Takemura to commit the crime."
"Mihua Jingcheng Cleaning Company?"
Gao Yuan reacted when he heard the name, "Isn't this the same company that did the cleaning work for this villa before?"
"So, as an employee of this company, I have the opportunity to see the structure of this villa."
Kudo Shinichi said.
"Very good. In this case, I have a new investigation. Thank you very much. It's been a big help!"
As Officer Memu said, he asked the police to take pictures of the structure of the villa, and then led the team away.
"It seems that our reasoning is basically correct! Mr. Mingzhi, please give me more advice in the future!"
After Kudo Shinichi watched Officer Megure and the others leave, he said to Takato who had come to the same reasoning as him.
“Each other!”
Gao Yuan responded politely, but at this moment Gao Yuan was a little strange, why hasn't the settlement panel appeared yet? Do we still have to wait until the police completely catch the criminal?
However, it was already getting late at this time, so Kudo Shinichi and the others left first.
After another two days, Gao Yuan finally bought all the furniture and common electrical appliances in the villa, and also set up the computers and network here. Now Gao Yuan no longer has to go outside to check information online.
Turning on the computer and browsing recent news, a news article titled "New developments in the murder case of the president of the cleaning company! High school student detective Kudo Shin repeatedly solves strange cases" caught Gao Yuan's attention. After clicking on it, Gao Yuan saw the following
Report:
Recently, the murder case of the president of Mihua Jingcheng Cleaning Company was finally solved after many days of police investigation. However, this case was unexpectedly implicated in an illegal trafficking of prohibited drugs that lasted for several years and spanned Tokyo to Shizuoka.
And the case of abducting women! It is understood that in this case, high school detective Shinichi Kudo played a crucial role in solving the case.
After reading this, the settlement panel finally appears.
"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."
"Comprehensive evaluation of case closure: d"
"Logic: b"
"Observation:c"
"Social:c"
"Settlement is completed, the overall score reaches d, and the reward is 10."
"This case is too difficult, and an additional bounty of 100 will be added. Since the overall score reaches D, an additional bounty of 20 will be awarded."
"Detective Rating: Assistant Detective"
"Bounty: 300"
Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar news, and this "d" evaluation, Gao Yuan was completely confused, and the extra bounty for the case was actually 100! This is the highest difficulty level in the game for assistant detectives!
So he immediately got up and went out, came to the door of Kudo Shinichi's house next door, and rang the doorbell - he should be at home this weekend!
Soon, a yawning Kudo Shinichi came out and opened the door for Gao Yuan.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with Mr. Mingzhi?"
Sleepily, Kudo Shinichi asked.
"Regarding the murder of the president of the cleaning company, what is the news about selling illegal drugs and abducting women?"
Gao Yuan asked urgently.
"Ah? About this matter. It just happened that I was called to Shizuoka by Police Officer Megure to investigate yesterday. It made me come back very late and I haven't slept enough yet."
Kudo Shinichi said and yawned again.
"Just explain it briefly!"
Gao Yuan said in a very serious and slow tone.
"To put it simply, Mihua Jingcheng Cleaning Company itself is a leather company. What it does secretly is to sell illegal drugs, use illegal drugs to control women, and abduct women. Nishino Jingcheng, Takemura Kengo, and Uchimi Chao are the leaders here.
Among them, Nishino is responsible for purchasing illegal drugs, Takemura is responsible for trafficking women with drugs, and Utsumi is responsible for bringing drugs and people to Shizuoka for execution."
"Then what's the deal with the basement and the identical villa?"
"Because you need a secluded place to store illegal drugs and house trafficked women, the original owner of your villa happened to find this cleaning company and asked them to clean the villa once a year. Then they discovered this
No one lived in the villa, so they used it as a base for their crimes. However, because the original owner sent someone to supervise the cleaning work every year, they dug out a basement in order not to be discovered."
As Kudo Shinichi talked, he no longer felt sleepy and continued to explain.
"As for the exact same villa, it is even simpler. Utsumi Chao, who is mainly responsible for the Shizuoka area, simply liked the structure of this villa, so he built an identical one in Shizuoka."
"Then why kill?"
"Because the spoils are unevenly distributed! Nishino, who is responsible for purchasing drugs, has always occupied the majority of the illegal income, which made Takemura and Utsumi very dissatisfied, so they used two identical villas that had just been built to create an alibi, and completed
kill!"
"But if this is the case, this kind of operation started a few years ago, so why were the rumors of haunting coming out of this villa only a year ago?"
"Before that, they were still mainly selling drugs. Recently, they have become more and more bold and dare to kidnap and traffic women. So the noise they make will be louder than before. But if I have to say it, such a criminal organization is right next to my house.
Go on, I wasn’t discovered, it was really my mistake!”
Kudo Shinichi said with some self-blame.
Back in the villa, Gao Yuan thought about the whole incident. He thought that there were so many details and clues in this case that he didn't know at all, and he encountered such a case just after he met Kudo Shinichi, and he couldn't help shouting.
