Chapter 1709 The non-existent prisoner
Wednesday, April 26, afternoon.
After having lunch from Nagabe's house and making up for some losses, Maori drove Azusa to Poirot Cafe with a car and went back to the cab.
Today's business is considered a compensation. Not to mention the car rental fee, there is also the favor of the Ume police officer.
As for good people and good things, that's another matter...
On the way to the Baiqingge store, Maori accidentally discovered that someone was lifting something on the rooftop on the rooftop to smash it down, and there was a pedestrian below.
"Be careful!" Maori rushed up and threw down the pedestrian.
At the same time, a hollow brick falling from the sky hit the ground where the pedestrian was just sitting, falling in half, and fragments scattered.
"Huhu..." Maori and the pedestrian were still in shock. They looked up together and found that there was no one on the building. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Maori got up and pulled the pedestrian up, suddenly feeling a little regretful. Why is this a fat man in his thirties? It would be great if he was a beautiful woman with a hot figure.
"Thank you, I'm Akataro Sasamoto." The man said in a panic.
Maori proudly reported his home, "Hello, I am Kogoro Mouri."
Yasuto Akara was surprised, "Ah, you are that famous detective!"
"Yes, how about it? Do you want me to protect you?" Maori was very happy and had a commission again.
Yasumoto Antaro was stunned, "Protect?"
Maori smiled and said, "Of course, you were just below. It's obvious that this is a high-altitude throwing incident targeting you. Maybe you want to kill you."
"ah!"
Akataro Sasamoto suddenly went to check the hollow bricks nervously and found a shadow word written in red paint on it. He was so scared that he threw away the hollow bricks.
Maori asked quickly, "What's going on?"
Sasamoto Antaro said tremblingly: "It's the Charm, it's him, it's the Hinata."
Maori said firmly: "Mr. Sasamoto, don't be afraid. With me, Kogoro Mori here, no one can hurt you."
Sasamoto Antaro barely calmed down, "Yes, yes."
Maori asked, "But who is Hikaru?"
"Sunying is, no, please wait a moment, I'll call."
Before Akataro Sasamoto's words could be said, his cell phone suddenly rang, so he went to the side to make a call, but Maori came up and still heard it clearly.
"Hey, I am Kamio, Antaro. I accompanied the writer teacher very late yesterday and came home only at dawn. Now I just woke up. I calculated that you should be on the way. Please bring me a beef bean pot for me. Please."
"Jun, Junzhi, are you alone?"
"Yes, what's wrong, the sound sounds weird."
"Sun shadow, sun shadow appears!"
"real?"
"I was attacked and almost died."
"Where are you now?"
"Near Mihua Station, I'm on the way to the station."
"Okay, then you can stay there. I'll clean up and go find you right away. Thirty minutes, thirty minutes I'll definitely arrive, don't go away."
"No, I'll be waiting for you at Maori Detective Office."
"Maori Detective Firm? The firm of the famous detective Kogoro Mori?"
"Yes, he saved me just now, otherwise I would definitely die."
"Okay, our Maori Detective Office will see you. Don't talk about that matter for now. When I get together, I won't have any missing places."
"Okay, I understand."...
About half an hour later, Maori Detective Firm.
Kamio Toshino rushed over and told Maori the whole story with Akataro Sasawa.
The Hinataro Sasamoto was called Hinataichi, who was once a partner of the Reasoning Research Association in their college years.
There are more than a dozen members in the inference research, but only four people are particularly active, namely Akataro Sasamoto, Toshino Kamio, Tomio Nezu, and Hikarikachi. After graduation, everyone has never met much.
However, half a month ago, the mystery magazine where Toshino Kamio received a novel manuscript. The manuscript was not signed, but it can be confirmed that it was Hikari Chengyi.
The reason I think so is because of the name and content of the novel.
The name of the novel is "Then No One Needs to Exist", which is in a red font. Sun Ying Chengyi, in college, also had this habit. Even novels written with typewriters, were always using dazzling red fonts on the cover.
Mori couldn't help but interrupt and said, "So that's it, so when Mr. Sasamoto saw the words "Shadow" written in red paint on the hollow brick, he thought it was Mr. Hikari."
"It's not just that." Kamio Toshiyuki said, "The content of the novel "Then No One Needs to Exist" is the protagonists who kill their former partners one by one."
"There is nothing that can be called reasoning, no tricks or puzzles. It's just that the protagonist kills three friends from college one by one with old hatred."
"The names of the three people who were killed are Nezumo, Kamio Toshino, and Sasako Antaro, exactly the same as the names of the three of us."
Maori couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Is it a murder trailer novel?"
"That's right," said Toshiyuki Kamio, "When we just received the novel draft half a month ago, we didn't take it seriously, but the day before yesterday, we finally understood the meaning of this strange novel."
"The body of a man who was stabbed to death by a dagger was found in Mihua Park the night before. The victim was our former member, Nezumoto," said Akataro Sasawamoto, "and in the novel sent by Hinata, Nezumoto was assassinated in the park at night."
"What!" Maori was surprised.
"The scenes of Antaro's previous attack were also written in the novel," said Toshiyuki Kamio, "Except for time and place, the method of killing is exactly the same, which should not be a coincidence."
Sasamoto Antaro said in fear: "If you were hit just now, you will definitely die."
"We only have techniques, but no time and place. We don't know when and what method he plans to attack us." said Toshiyuki Kamio, "This is always torture us with fear."
Maori asked, "Is there any hatred between you?"
Kamio Toshiyuki said: "No, if you insist that Hikari Shin-chan has a motive for revenge against us, it may be the hatred that we once accused him of too much of his novel, because of this incident."
"That's the thing?" Maori had a toothache.
Sasamoto Antaro said, "It's true that such a thing has happened."
"This setting is no longer feasible now. The killing method lacks freshness, the plot has not changed much, the emotional investment is too exaggerated, there is no basic sense of reality, etc."
"But everyone is the same in this way. The works of Kamio have also been sarcastic by the Japanese shadow."
Kamio Toshino smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, that's still my confident work."
"What's the point of your novel? Just tap your own head to clean it. Such things are not a story at all."
"Everyone is actually each other"
Maori thought, "You have graduated for 10 years, right? Why do you still have to take revenge now?"
Kamio Toshino said, "We don't understand this either."
Sasamoto Antaro said, "To put it, we thought he was dead long ago."
Maori confirmed: "Die?"
Sasawa Antaro said: "Hikage suddenly left home three years ago and said he wanted to go camping in the mountains alone, but never came back."
Kamio Toshiyu said, "So everyone thinks he has died, and we also went to his funeral."
"Did the person who was considered dead three years ago suddenly started a revenge murder plan?" Maori said, "The disappearance three years ago was just a cover for murder."
Kamio Toshiyu said: "I don't know, the police are already investigating this matter."
Sasamoto Antaro said: "It seems that the person responsible is the Meguro Police Department."
"Really?" Maori's eyes lit up. If it were Megumi's police department, he should be able to participate in the investigation...
Kamio Toshiyu said, "Ah, it's getting late, I'm going back to the magazine."
Maori quickly said, "Let me accompany you? You are also a goal."
Kamio Toshino said gratefully: "Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble." Maori smiled...
Kamio Toshiyu's magazine.
Akataro Sasamoto asked Mori to see a copy of the novel sent by Hikari, and Toshino Kamio sorted out the documents on his desk.
"Where is this package?"
"pack?"
Maori was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, then he saw Shinyu Kamio unpacking the package and immediately reacted, "Be careful."
"Bang!"
The gross profit was still slow, the package exploded, but it was not very powerful, and it only blackened Toshino's face.
"Ah!" The explosion scared everyone in the magazine and ran around and hid out.
Maori asked, "Mr. Kamio, are you okay?"
"Okay, it seems." Kamio Toshiyu is not sure...
Chapter completed!
