Thinking like this, although Gao Yuan still felt that the thing about the doll was a bit strange, he didn't find any clues for a while, so he decided not to think about it for now.
It was at this time that Gao Yuan's cell phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was his own landline, so he walked aside alone, came to the balcony of this room, and answered the phone——
"Hey, Haiyuan..."
"Gao Yuan...can you stop investigating this case!"
Before he finished speaking, Gao Yuan heard Xiao Ai speaking to Gao Yuan on the other end of the phone in a somewhat low tone and at the same time with a hint of pleading.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Xiao Ai say this, Gao Yuan realized something was wrong, so he looked around and made sure there was no one around, then lowered his voice and asked.
"I have some bad premonitions..."
After Gao Yuan finished asking and there was a moment of silence, Xiao Ai's somewhat heavy voice came from the other end of the phone.
At this time, holding the receiver of the phone, Xiao Ai was sitting in front of the computer in Akechi's study room. What was displayed on the screen was the picture of the doll that was enlarged in the screen during Gao Yuan's previous video chat with Izumo Yukino——
Although I don't know this woman named Izumo Yukino, and this doll does not look very similar to me in various details, I just have an intuition that this doll seems to be made after me.
of.
Therefore, Xiao Ai thought about it for a long time, but intuitively she still felt that this matter was full of weirdness——
"Did you... notice something?"
On the other end of the phone, Gao Yuan also asked Xiao Ai in a serious tone after being silent for a moment.
In this regard, Xiao Ai originally wanted to send the picture on the computer screen to Gao Yuan and tell him her feelings, but when she thought of pointing to the photo of the doll, she told Gao Yuan that she suspected that the doll might
I made it according to myself, and a feeling of extreme shame came to Xiao Ai's heart.
So, Xiao Ai didn't do that after all, but just repeated -
"No...it's just that I have some bad premonitions..."
Hearing Xiao Ai repeat these words, he stood on the balcony of Room 404 of Mihua Apartment, Gao Yuan leaned on the railing of the balcony, looking at the night view of Tokyo at this moment, feeling the night breeze, Gao Yuan thought for a moment
, couldn’t help but smile calmly:
"Don't worry, the police have already intervened in this incident. I shouldn't need to investigate too deeply."
In response to this, Xiao Ai was silent for a moment, and finally could only reply with a worried tone:
"Then...be careful."
"kindness."
Gao Yuan said with relief:
"I will pay attention..."
After saying that, Gao Yuan did not hang up the phone directly. He noticed that Xiao Ai's mood was a little low, so he said jokingly:
"Besides, as your important experimental sample, I won't get into trouble easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ai's laughter came from the phone:
"Ah, you have to be safe all the time, otherwise I will cry!"
Xiao Ai replied like a joke.
At this point, the two of them hung up the phone in tacit agreement, and Gao Yuan, who stayed in Mihua Apartment, continued to wait for the results of the police investigation...
In Saitama Prefecture, on a street somewhere, a black Porsche 356A sped past.
In the car, Vodka, who was getting into the car, said to Gin in the passenger seat with a surprised look on his face:
"Brother, are we leaving like this?"
"What if?"
With a cold tone, Gin asked rhetorically. Although it was just a simple rhetorical question, it had an unquestionable momentum.
"But, Louis, what should we do?"
Vodka was frightened by Gin's aura, then changed the topic and couldn't help but ask:
"Also, why does that person have a portrait that is suspected of being 'Shirley'? Do we need to find someone to investigate again?"
In response, Gin sneered, picked up the cigarette lighter in the car, lit a cigarette, opened the window and took a puff, and then said calmly:
"Louis's side... Now that the matter has come to this, she can only solve it by herself. As for that problem..."
After saying that, Ginjiu let out a cold "hum", looked out the car window, and then said coldly:
"There is no need to investigate anymore... After all, the results of the investigation have already been obtained by Bourbon."
…
After Izumo Yukino disappeared, under the orders of Officer Megure, the police conducted a large-scale search of this rice flower apartment, but in the end nothing was found.
In this way, six hours after the incident, when everyone was exhausted from the search, the police station in Saitama Prefecture received a report. A house in Saitama Prefecture was nearly 1,300 kilometers away from the Mihua Apartment.
Izumo Yukino's body was found in his daily rental apartment.
According to the local police report, Yukino Izumo fell in front of the desk where his laptop was placed and died due to severe abdominal bleeding.
When the news reached Officer Megure, Takato and others rushed to the scene in Saitama Prefecture, and happened to encounter the scene of staff carrying Izumo Yukino's body on a stretcher and moving it to an ambulance.
"How...how could this happen!"
Seeing the scene in front of them, Xiaolan and Sonoko, who rushed over, showed expressions of disbelief and panicked. However, they could only watch as Izumo Yukino's body was covered with white cloth and put into the car.
When the staff passed by Conan, Izumo Yukino's left hand hung down from the stretcher. Seeing all this, Conan couldn't help but regretfully put Yukino's cold left hand back.
Looking at the ambulance whizzing away, Conan clasped his hands together as if silently bowing his head in worship. However, he found that his hands seemed to be stained with something. He couldn't help but look at his palms carefully, and then Conan's expression couldn't help but change slightly -
—
"Next we are going to the scene to investigate and collect evidence. Brother Mingzhi, do you want to go with us?"
Officer Memu watched the ambulance leave, and then asked Gao Yuan.
Facing Officer Megure's invitation, Gao Yuan nodded slightly, and followed Officer Megure into the daily rental apartment, and Conan couldn't help but follow.
This daily rental apartment is a typical small one-living room, and the small kitchen only contains the food and utensils needed to sustain a minimum life.
The room that became the murder scene only had a bed, a small sofa and a table.
Takagi Wataru, who was the first to arrive at the scene and listened to the local police report, relayed the details of the case to Officer Megure and Gao Yuan:
"The results of the on-site inspection proved that the deceased died due to massive bleeding caused by a sharp knife being inserted into the abdomen. Because there was a large amount of blood on the stall, it can be considered that this is the scene of the first crime. As for the time of death, because the hand of the deceased was
The watch was broken and stopped at 10:15. Judging from this, 10:15 is probably the time of death."
Takagi Wataru pointed to the blood-splattered carpet at the scene and explained.
"How can this be!"
Hearing Gao Mushe's narration outside the door, Xiaolan said with a surprised look:
"At that time, Miss Yukino should still be at Mihua Apartment!"
