Stay away from Conan

Chapter 494 Asking

"In the main room, Yu Takagi is there watching them."

Miwako Sato replied:

"Because the 'Forgotten Detective' had an accident, our police basically confirmed that the suspect was among that group of people, so we will completely control the scene today."

After hearing this explanation, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile:

"Then it seems that it is necessary to go to the main house and have a good chat with them!"

…

"I am Toda's younger brother, Takeki Yamauchi."

Said the man opposite Gao Yuan, sitting at the dining table in the main room.

At first glance, although he and his brother were close in age, the two brothers looked completely different.

"I'm Tamiko."

Next, the speaker next to Yamauchi Takesuki was a thin middle-aged woman. She coughed a few times as she spoke. Maybe it was because the mainstay of the family had fallen, and she looked quite weak.

Then, beside Tamiko, were two young men.

One is a cute-looking girl with long hair who looks a little peaceful. The other is a boy who wants to look fashionable through his hairstyle and dressing up, but in fact he is still a thin student-looking boy.

Among them, the girl's name is Nana Yamauchi, the victim's daughter; the boy's name is Yamauchi Yuta, the son of Yamauchi Takeki, who is the nephew of the victim.

"Looking at your current situation, I don't need to say anything more."

After getting a general understanding of the people present, Miwako Sato couldn't help but said seriously:

"Because the detective who came to investigate in the morning was given sleeping pills by one of you and has not woken up yet. From this, we can judge that the real murderer of Mr. Toda Yamauchi is probably among you. Therefore, if you want to eliminate your suspicions, please cooperate with the investigation!"

Because of Sato Miwako's heroic appearance and her unquestionable tone, the four suspects present could not help but be attracted by her aura, and each nodded silently.

In response to this, Takagi Wataru on the side couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, as if he had not been so cooperative when he led people to take care of these people in the main room.

In this regard, looking at the attitudes of the four people at this time, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask:

"First of all, Mr. Takeki Yamauchi, where and what were you doing yesterday morning?"

According to previous police investigations, Yamauchi Kenshu and Yamauchi Tamiko did not have alibi, so Gao Yuan asked them first.

"I went for a walk."

Yamauchi Jianshu couldn't help but say:

"There is a small waterfall nearby, and I went there to see the scenery. After that, I walked around along the Tama River. When I went home in the evening, I found several police cars parked at the door, and I was shocked. I didn't expect that I My brother actually..."

Takesuki Yamauchi shook his head and lamented.

As for such a statement, Gao Yuan understood why the other party had "no alibi". After all, the so-called "walking" argument was really difficult to find witnesses in a place like this.

"Where's Ms. Yamauchi?"

Without reporting any expectations, Gao Yuan asked another person who "had no alibi".

"I... I was sleeping on the second floor during the day yesterday. I have had a cold in the past few days."

Tamiko Yamauchi said guiltily.

"Have you been alone in your room?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Yes, yes...ahem..."

Yamauchi Tamiko coughed and replied, and Gao Yuan looked at the other party's face and did not look good, so he did not continue to ask, and turned his focus to the other two young people.

"What about you two?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"We watch TV together in the kitchen."

Yamauchi Yuta answered first:

"Yesterday happened to be the broadcast of "High School Girl Detective Koyuki's Casebook". Nana and I really like this show. Right, Nana?"

"kindness."

When Nana Yamauchi heard that she was being asked, she couldn't help but nodded.

"Oh! "The Incident Book of High School Girl Detective Koyuki", is the original work of the TV series written by Yusaku Kudo? I quite like it too!"

Hearing what the other party said, Gao Yuan responded simply, and at the same time, his eyes followed the point mentioned in their words and turned to the kitchen next to the restaurant——

I saw that as part of the mansion, the kitchen occupied an entire room, with chairs and a TV set inside.

Moreover, through the glass windows on the terrace, you can just see the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard. Just looking from this position, the cherry blossom tree just blocks the door of the villa.

"But don't you usually watch TV in the living room? There should be a TV there too."

Turning his gaze back, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Because Nana had to do laundry and prepare lunch, so she stayed in the kitchen."

Yamauchi Yuta couldn't help but replied.

Regarding Yamauchi Yuta's answer, Takato frowned slightly and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Yamauchi Nana aside.

Seeing Gao Yuan looking at her, Yamauchi Nana couldn't help but nodded, confirming what Yamauchi Yuta said.

So Gao Yuan continued to ask:

"You can see the courtyard from the kitchen. Did you find anything strange yesterday?"

"You didn't notice anything..."

The two people being questioned looked at each other and spoke to each other as if to confirm, and then Nana Yamauchi suddenly said:

"But just after eleven o'clock, I heard the sound of a chainsaw. But at the time, I thought it was my father making something again, so I didn't pay special attention."

"Didn't you see anyone walking near the other house?"

Gao Yuan continued to ask.

"No, because we have been watching TV series."

Yamauchi Yuta seemed a little impatient when asked.

"Me too, I kept the curtains closed when I was sleeping, so I didn't notice anything..."

Yamauchi Tamiko said apologetically.

In response, Gao Yuan nodded slightly and then said:

"Okay, then I'll ask here first, and you can go back to your respective rooms first."

After speaking, Gao Yuan motioned to Miwako Sato next to him, and under the command of Miwako Sato, the police officers present took the four people back to their respective rooms and continued to be temporarily supervised by the police.

"Nothing to gain, Mr. Akechi."

As for the result of this inquiry, Miwako Sato also said somewhat helplessly.

"Yes, this is the same result as what we asked before, and there is nothing new."

Takagi Shita couldn't help but echoed:

"Compared to this, we are investigating the matter of giving sleeping pills to the white-haired female detective this morning. We haven't identified a specific suspect yet..."

"Speaking of which, what has the detective lady been doing outside? Could it be that, Mr. Mingzhi, you are delaying time so that she can investigate?"

As she said that, Sato Miwako couldn't help but look at Koizumi Anko who was standing on the steps outside the house, walking aimlessly.

"Oh...no."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile helplessly and said:

"Officer Sato, Officer Takagi. Next, I need you to investigate something. If my assumption is correct, I should be able to know who the murderer is!"

Saying this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but reveal a confident smile on his face.
