After a while, police personnel arrived at the scene.
A cordon was set up around the body and curtains were erected to block the view, while forensic doctors examined the victim's wounds.
The police officers were collecting statements from everyone present one by one.
Noriko Amamiya and Officer Megure, who were comforting Ran and Sonoko, looked at each other. Looking at Amamiya Noriko's innocent eyes, the latter felt very bad. This was the third time...
"Sato, come here."
Officer Megure asked Sato Miwako, who came later, to deal with Amamiya Noriko, and went to discuss it with Datehang and Matsuda Jinpei himself.
Miwako Sato, who looks like a smart woman in both her dress and short hair, feels that she is not particularly good at coaxing children.
But Noriko Amamiya coaxed her away.
"Is Noriko okay?"
"It's okay, thank you Sister Sato. I was just a little scared at first, but now I'm completely fine."
Noriko Amamiya shook her head and whispered, "You have to be afraid even if you are not afraid, otherwise you will not be a normal person."
However, Sato felt that it was a bit abnormal for a girl with a simple and lovely personality like Amamiya Noriko to recover her mood so quickly.
You can see this by comparing Xiaolan and Yuanzi.
Could it be the sequelae of the previous kidnapping case?
Here, Sato asked Amamiya Noriko for her confession again, then asked her not to go too far, and then went to coax Xiaolan and Sonoko to ask for their confession.
After Amamiya Noriko agreed to Sato, she went to the side and sat on her swimming ring, scanning the people present who were being questioned by the police one by one.
The little brain starts working.
Kudo Shinichi on the other side was also thinking deeply about sorting out clues and ideas, but after all, he was not at the first scene, so he always felt that something was missing.
It seems that the police officers over there have figured out the identity of the victim and are determining whether anyone at the scene is related to the victim.
Kudo Shinichi wanted to go over and listen, but Officer Megure stopped him and told him to stay here and not run around.
Officer Megure knows Shinichi, the classmate of his younger brother Mori's daughter Xiaolan, and the son of Kudo Yusaku. They are all the descendants of old acquaintances. In this case, he cannot be allowed close to the scene to avoid leaving a shadow on the child's heart.
manage.
Kudo Shinichi pouted, seeing that Xiaolan and Sonoko were being taken care of by Officer Sato, and seeing Amamiya Noriko looking at the prisoner, he came over and said, "Do you have any clues?"
Noriko Amamiya thought for a while and shook her head: "No, I was just watching the changes in their expressions."
Kudo Shin nodded and stopped disturbing her. He went aside to look for other clues.
He came here early and didn't see as much as Noriko Amamiya, but he still made a lot of discoveries, such as the wounds of the victims.
The wound that opened the aorta in the neck was not a sharp knife, but a sharp object that was inserted and then opened laterally. The method was extremely cruel. It was certain that Datehang and Matsuda Jinpei were looking for it from the beginning.
of fugitives.
"What is known now is that the murderer did not flee the scene and the whereabouts of the murder weapon is unknown."
Kudo Shinichi looked around. There were police officers searching on the slides, but nothing was found.
His eyes fell on the group of people present. If the wound was not a sharp weapon, the possibility of a female committing a crime would be reduced to a certain extent. This is not to say absolutely. The main problem is how to hide the murder weapon of the prisoner?
The water here is only calf-deep and crystal clear. If you just throw it into the water, the police will find it after scanning it.
"Murderer, murder weapon, motive..."
The thoughts in Kudo Shinichi's mind were being sorted out one by one. For the first time, he encountered a completely real case and saw the lives lost. His heart was restless. He could not find the words of the murderer and could not feel relieved.
On the other side, Amamiya Noriko was observing everyone's expressions one by one. At the same time, her and Kudo Shinichi's reasoning progress was about the same, but she was there immediately and knew who was definitely not suspicious.
Considering that the murder weapon is carried...
Noriko Amamiya had an idea, walked to the edge, looked around, and found a special life-saving buoy.
It's the big red stick that lifeguards often carry. It's usually made of high-density foam and has strong buoyancy.
She remembered that this was thrown to the shore before the second lifeguard who rushed to the scene ran over.
It looks like it came from another swimming pool to the slide side, because the water on the slide side is shallow and there is no need for this thing.
"But actually?"
Noriko Amemiya looked up and down, and found a cut on one side that was as big as her palm. She could hide a knife or something inside the surface.
However, the murder weapon was still not seen. It can be said that the murderer made a cut accidentally and did not hide any murder weapon.
Amamiya Noriko thought for a while, dragged the life-saving baton back, and sat on the side calmly, staring straight at the second lifeguard who arrived. He looked fair and tender, tall and thin, and he didn't look like that at all.
The murderer's man.
"stare--"
Lifeguard Zuotian stood calmly among the crowd, making himself look inconspicuous but not hiding himself.
Two years ago, he had a dispute with a colleague. After enduring it for a while, he became more and more angry when he returned home. He became so angry that he lost his mind and became murderous.
The next day, he invited the other party out and killed him on the pretext of apologizing.
Then he fled the anonymity life in other places, and because of poverty, he committed another robbery and murder.
He has been hunted by the police for two years, but he hid it perfectly.
Unexpectedly, the victim seemed to have recognized him a few days ago, and he might go to the police, and he would be arrested by the police, so he took action.
Grind the hard ice into the shape of a flat awl, hide it in his lifeguard buoy, and then take the opportunity to kill him when no one on it is noticed.
After pushing the victim down the slide and then sliding down another slide, a lifeguard pretending to be a lifeguard from another swimming pool ran over and called people while maintaining order, thus minimizing suspicion.
He placed the ice pick outside the upper compartment. It should have been melted by the sun by now. It was very hot today.
It was already foolproof without any evidence...but...
Deep in his eyes, he looked at the little girl over there with a hint of viciousness. What was she doing with that life-saving stick?
Could it be that something was discovered? How is it possible? At most, you can only see a hole in my life-saving stick, but not the murder weapon...
The lifeguard Zuotian looked calm.
Amamiya Noriko looked at him for a long time before blinking, and kept applying pressure with her eyes.
People know you are the murderer, but they are too scared to tell the police.
After being watched for three minutes, the Zuotian lifeguard looked calm.
After being stared at for five minutes, the lifeguard Zuoda remained calm and glanced at Amamiya Noriko from time to time.
Amamiya Noriko got up and went to find Kudo Shinichi, who was driven away from the scene by the police while paying no attention to every detail.
The lifeguard Zuotian's eyes fell faintly on Noriko Amamiya. If the little girl went to the police to say anything, he would run away immediately.
The little girl dragged her lifeguard buoy towards the police!
A policeman passed by, but luckily he didn't say anything.
Another policeman ahead!!!
Phew, passing by again...
Ahead is a cordoned off scene with many police officers!!!
Zuo Tian's heart was in his throat, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes. The little girl finally found another boy, tugged on the other boy's clothes, and then moved closer as if to say something. The boy took the life-saving baton.
Then the little girl trotted to one side.
Zuoda glanced at the boy and then returned his gaze to Noriko Amamiya.
If Kudo Shinichi looked back at him just now, it means that Amamiya Noriko told Kudo Shinichi that he was the murderer and couldn't help but look back at him. If she didn't look back, it means that she hasn't said it yet.
Then, just deal with that little girl quickly and run away...
Kudo Shinichi took the life-saving stick handed to him by Amamiya Noriko with a confused look on his face.
Why give this to him suddenly?
He also said that the weather is nice. There is only one truth, and he is just telling lies with his mouth open.
After Noriko Amamiya left, he lowered his head and checked the life-saving stick. Generally speaking, Noriko Amamiya had a bad personality and had strange habits, but she didn't do anything meaningless. In other words, when she was the most boring, she would make fun of her with cold jokes.
.
He also saw the scratches on the life-saving stick. Generally speaking, the surface material of the life-saving stick is of high quality and is not easy to scratch, and the life-saving appliance cannot be used if it is damaged...
After a while, Kudo Shinichi suddenly raised his head and looked at the people over there. He easily saw that one person was missing.
And he seems to be a lifeguard!
He turned around and looked around, but Amamiya Noriko was nowhere to be seen. He quickly ran over and grabbed a police officer: "Did a lifeguard leave from here just now?!"
"Ah, yes, he doesn't feel well. He went to the toilet over there. He just went in and hasn't come out yet... Hey, little brother??!"
Kudo Shinichi ran over directly. If his guess was correct, the murderer was probably the lifeguard. He had already escaped from the toilet and went to find Noriko Amamiya!
Noriko Amamiya seemed to have discovered something, but she couldn't completely prove it, so she was ready to induce the murderer to take action.
Running over to him and talking to him was a threat to the murderer. She completely dared to tell others what she had discovered.
But because the murderer was chasing him, he only said words of unknown meaning to him, that is, he only needed to make a show, and he couldn't tell him to prevent him from turning around and being seen by the murderer.
"Doesn't she know how dangerous this is?!"
Kudo Shinichi ran to the toilet, and sure enough he didn't see anyone. The window behind the toilet was opened.
He rolled over and landed on the lifeguard on the ground.
Kudo Shinichi got off the lifeguard's back and looked at the situation with a complicated expression.
The lifeguard was lying on the ground with his face buried in the ground. He was lying in a large shape with one calf hanging on the wall of the toilet. He looked like he had fallen into the street while climbing out of the window.
But he looked at Noriko Amamiya, who was spreading her hands aside.
Can this still be a case of jumping out of a window and jumping into the street?
It must have been Amamiya Noriko who committed the murder. It was a good move, no problem.
He looked at the miserable condition of the lifeguard and said, "So, what's going on?"
"I tripped him a little when he climbed over the window."
Noriko Amamiya made a small gesture.
Kudo Shinichi took a deep breath: "What do you want?"
Noriko Amamiya said awkwardly, "I want Shinichi-kun to do me a favor."
…
"Brother policeman, I found that the lifeguard was not in the toilet, but fell outside. It's so strange. Is he trying to escape?"
Kudo Shinichi pulled the clothes corner of the police officer who was helping the lifeguard go to the toilet. The police officer's face changed when he heard this. Could it be that the guy was a murderer and wanted to escape?
If he ran away, wouldn't he be finished?
"Take uncle quickly to catch that bad guy!!"
The police officers immediately handcuffed the unconscious murderer who "climbed through the window and jumped into the street."
Kudo Shinichi also pulled out the life-saving baton at the right time with "Ah!" and "That's weird." The fact that Zuoda's skin color was not the tanned one that lifeguards usually have was a point of doubt for him.
After being woken up, Zuotian lifeguard struggled like crazy: "Damn it!! That old woman, damn it, actually dared to plot against me!!!"
"I won't let you go after I come out——"
If you asked him about something like that even though he was losing his mind, he wouldn't answer it at all. He would just curse and curse like crazy with his face on his face.
Kudo Shinichi saw Amamiya Noriko's face turned dark, "He's not talking about you, is he?"
"Do you think I look like an old woman?!"
Amamiya Noriko stomped him hard, causing Kudo Shinichi to jump in pain.
