The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 142 A Strange Case

"Look, I have planned it all for you. You will become the White Horse Police Chief within a month, become the White Horse family's daughter-in-law in half a year, and get pregnant in a year, so that you can become a mother before you turn 30. Then when you turn 40, you can become the Minister of Criminal Affairs!"

Yumi Miyamoto said this drunkenly. The alcohol was getting to her head, and she wasn't even allowed to make a joke?

However, seeing that her best friend was about to lose her temper again, she said normally,

"Meiwako, what's the point of you sitting here with me and thinking about how to deal with it?"

"Inspector Hakuba hasn't come back yet! It won't be too late to talk about everything after he comes back."

Miwako Sato listened to Yumi Miyamoto's normal speech and felt that it made sense.

The white horse pine is still a hundred miles away, and I am already overthinking about all sorts of things. This is really not my style.

Forget it, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with soil.

Thinking of this, Sato Miwako picked up her bag and was about to leave.

Seeing that Sato Miwako wanted to leave, Miyamoto Yumi quickly stopped her.

"Hey, Miwako, why are you leaving?"

"I came here to ask you about these things. Now that I'm done, why don't I leave?"

Sato Miwako said unhappily.

The main reason was that she was feeling restless right now and she really had no desire to continue drinking.

"No, no. Since we're already here, let's at least have a good drink!"

Yumi Miyamoto advised.

Speaking of this, what did Yumi Miyamoto think of?

"By the way, Miwako, I heard that Inspector Yokomizo came from Shizuoka the day before yesterday. It seems that he said there was a strange case. Can you tell me about it?"

There was no other way. In order to get Sato Miwako to stay and drink with her, Miyamoto Yumi could only pull her along to talk about the case.

"Yes, there is such a case."

As expected, Sato Miwako sat down again, thought for a while, and began to speak,

"About a week ago, a murder case occurred in Shizuoka, and Inspector Yokomizo Sango was unable to solve it."

"Since he seemed to have worked with Inspector Hakuba once before, he had great respect for him, so he came all the way to Tokyo, hoping to be seconded."

At this point, Sato Miwako couldn't help but smile.

"It's funny, Inspector Yokomizo came to Tokyo from Shizuoka, but Inspector Hakuba happened to be traveling from Tokyo to Izu, Inspector Yokomizo's jurisdiction, that day, so the two of them just missed each other."

"what?"

Miyamoto Yumi said speechlessly,

"Then Inspector Yokomizo's trip was in vain, right?"

"There's nothing we can do. Inspector Hakuba has applied for annual leave. We can't let him travel and then rush back in an emergency, right?"

"That's true,"

Miyamoto Yumi nodded, and then asked,

"Speaking of which, what is so strange about this case? Is it because there is no suspect?"

"no,"

Sato Miwako shook her head.

"On the contrary, in this case, Police Chief Yokogawa found three suspects."

"what?"

Miyamoto Yumi said incredulously,

"Why are there three suspects? Did they conspire to kill the victim?"

"It would be nice if it were that way."

Miwako Sato said,

"If that were the case, Inspector Yokomizo wouldn't have had to make such a long trip in vain."

"There are three suspects because three people admitted to killing the victim."

Hearing this, Yumi Miyamoto opened her mouth slightly in amazement.

To be honest, she had seen many hit-and-run drivers in the Ministry of Transport, but not many who honestly admitted that they had deliberately hit and killed people, let alone three people at once.

"And then?"

Yumi Miyamoto asked impatiently.

This incident has ignited her gossipy soul.

Sato Miwako was about to say something.

However, neither of them noticed that an old lady at the table next to them also put down her chopsticks and was listening quietly.

Miwako Sato said,

"What happened is that the deceased, Taiji Komiyama, was a well-known actor. On the last day of his tour, his colleague Hideji Tsuda came to look for him and found him lying on the ground with his hands on his chest. After checking his breath, they found that Taiji Komiyama was dead, so they called the police."

"The forensic examination showed that Komiyayama was hit multiple times on the brain with a blunt object, but he died of a heart attack."

"After the investigation by Inspector Yokomizo and his team, they finally found three suspects. They are Ms. Yumiko Arakura, Mr. Osamu Hoshino, and Mr. Kengo Katsumata."

"Mr. Katsumata Kengo said that Komiyama Taiji always regarded himself as the best actor and kept suppressing Mr. Katsumata Kengo."

"Ms. Yumiko Arakura said that Yasushi Komiyayama has been harassing her and it is very annoying for her."

"Mr. Hoshino Osamu said that he has always had a good impression of Ms. Arakura Yumiko, and he couldn't stand Komiyama Taishi's harassment of Arakura Yumiko."

“So the police found the three of them one by one.”

"But when the police found the three of them for interrogation, they all admitted that they had killed Yasushi Komiyama!"

Hearing this, Yumi Miyamoto also began to use her not-so-good brain.

"Could it be that one of them killed Taiji Komiyama, and the other two wanted to help take the blame?"

Miwako Sato did not answer Yumi Miyamoto's question, but continued,

"Inspector Yokomizo said that this is what the final result of the interrogation came out."

"Mr. Katsumata Kengo said that shortly before the incident, Taiji Komiyama inexplicably rushed into his lounge, as if he was drunk, and then insulted him, so he suddenly became emotional and picked up a vase in the lounge and smashed it on his head."

"Taishu Komiyama also fell to the ground. Afterwards, Kengo Katsumata was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he moved Taishi Komiyama to his own lounge, thinking that this might be able to put the blame on Mrs. Komiyama, who was having marital discord."

"Um,"

Miyamoto Yumi nodded pretentiously.

"Katsumata Kengo, there seems to be no problem."

Miwako Sato continued,

"But later, Mr. Haruyuki Hoshino said that he had murdered Yasushi Komiyama."

"He said that Yasushi Komiyama suddenly broke into his lounge that day, and then told Hoshino Osamu that Arakura Yumiko was his woman, which made Hoshino Osamu so angry that he picked up a vase and threw it at him, and also dragged him back to his lounge."

"This this,"

Yumi Miyamoto was stunned. Except for the fact that Komiyama spoke differently, everything else these two people said was the same.

"It's not over yet,"

Miwako Sato said,
