48. Platform shoes underfoot
Accompanied by the hearty laughter, a burly middle-aged man with a suit that was slightly tight on his body, and the black face with a knife-cut axe and a long scar on his left eye was even more fierce.
When Kogoro Maori was shocked when he saw the other party, "May Police Chief!"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded slightly and then said, "I said, "Mei Mu, the media reporters outside are now clamoring that this is an indiscriminate murder case. You can end the matter here quickly and re-operate it tomorrow."
"But..." Officer Megu still hesitated.
"Just do it like this, police officer." Sato Mikako said: "Besides, we can't be sure that the victims were all sitting in the car now. If there is really no way, I will put on black makeup next time and drive out to try it."
When Officer Memu heard this, he immediately said sternly: "I have already said that you are not allowed to seduce the criminals again!"
Everyone was startled by his sudden attitude, and Officer Megu, who reacted, probably felt that he was too extreme and turned around and said, "Foreigner, just search the place carefully, maybe you can find something else. I have a strong intuition that the gangster should be still nearby now."
"Meizuki." Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked over, "You can't, you're still thinking about the case back then, are you?"
Officer Memu's eyes tightened.
"I mean the case you hid under that hat." Matsumoto Kiyonaga said calmly.
Officer Meguchi seemed to have been mentioned as something tingling past, subconsciously pressed the brim of his hat, and then said, "No, I've put it down long ago."
"Is that so? Then let's pretend I asked the wrong question." Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded and left first.
Officer Megumi lowered his head and kept silent.
Although he was a little curious about what his "case back then" was, no one would ask at this time without any wit.
"Uncle Maori, lend me your car keys. I want to put the things in the car first." Yuanzi picked up the shopping bag at her feet.
"By the way, help me put it a little too." Ran Maori smiled and handed over the big bag.
Yuanzi glanced at her and took it with her.
"I'll help you." Chen Xing said.
"No, I want to go to the bathroom later." Yuanzi raised her eyebrows at him and smiled, "Are you going too?"
Chen Xing spread his hands, "If you don't mind being heavy, please do whatever you want."
"It's just a few clothes." Yuanzi deliberately weighed it in front of him.
Then, she carried the shopping bag in one hand and turned the car key in the other, humming a little tune to walk to the parking place not far away.
And Takagi Suk, who had just gone to investigate, hurried over, "I've already confirmed it!"
"How is it?" Officer Meguri asked.
"That's right, the second victim got out of the car he drove and went to the park to use the toilet." Takagi Sugh said.
"That's how, but why did the gangsters attack young girls who drive and dress up in a trendy manner? Is there any other reason?" Police Officer Memu thought.
"Do they have something in common with the four of them? We didn't find it?" said Kogoro Mouri.
Chen Xing looked at the direction of the parking lot. Yuanzi was walking towards the department store, probably going to the bathroom.
At this moment, the stretcher that buried the deceased passed by him. The policeman accidentally paused because he gave way. The stretcher hit his leg and a flat shoe fell out of the covered white cloth.
Chen Xing looked at the flat shoes that were rolling to his feet, his eyes were slightly stunned.
"Sorry," the policeman said, picking up his shoes and putting them on the foot of the deceased.
"Strange, why can't it fit?" he murmured, his shoes struggling to wear.
"Wait a minute." Chen Xing suddenly spoke.
Conan also noticed the previous scene and couldn't help but say, "Did you find it too?"
"Officer Sato, do you always wear thick-soled shoes under your feet when you mentioned the trendy black makeup you have mentioned before?" Chen Xing asked.
"That's it." Mikako Sato nodded.
Kogoro Mouri hugged his arm and said, "When did you become interested in this?"
Chen Xing is not interested in trends, but Yuanzi is very knowledgeable about it. She has heard her talk about trends a lot before, and has read some such magazines when she was bored at home, so she has a lot of knowledge about black makeup.
He said, "I thought when I saw the shoes that the deceased just now, would she be wearing a pair of thick-soled shoes?"
"What's the reason?" Kogoro Mouri said in confusion.
Conan smiled slightly, "Because girls who can wear black makeup now generally don't wear flat shoes."
"You kid know again?" Kogoro Mori looked at him.
"The shoes that Miss Lanze fell just now didn't fit in with her." Conan scratched his head stupidly.
Takagi Shibu said inexplicably: "But why did the criminal deliberately replace the victim's shoes?"
"I don't think he wants others to notice this," Conan said. "Because he attacked people who were wearing thick-soled shoes and driving here to buy things by himself."
"What!" Officer Memu was shocked.
Takagi Shibu awakened and said, "Yes, think about it carefully. When the other three ladies were attacked, they were indeed wearing exaggerated black makeup on their faces."
Mikako Sato frowned and said, "After saying this, I remember Yumi once told me that the traffic accident caused by Miss Lanze in this parking lot a year ago was that she wore a pair of thick-soled shoes on her feet, which reduced the sensitivity of the brakes, which caused that tragedy."
"Is this true?" Officer Megu said quickly.
"Yes, although the parents of the child who died in that car accident had long been divorced, they all strongly advocated that this was the cause of the accident, but they did not get the approval of the judge." Sato Mikako said.
"His parents had divorced long ago?"
"Yes, I heard that the divorce was mainly because of my husband's alcoholism." Sato Mikako said: "I still remember his name..."
"This person should be surnamed Zhenjin, right?" Conan suddenly said.
Sato Mikako nodded subconsciously, "Yes."
Chen Xing thought for a while, "There was a guard before..."
Officer Memu hurriedly said, "Brother Takagi, hurry up and investigate the car accident that year. Others found this deposit, Fangxiong!"
"Conan, how did you know?" asked Mikako Sato.
"It's very simple," Conan explained: "Because the shoes you are wearing are not visible from the outside of the car, and the attacks are all customers of this department store, so I feel that the most suspicious thing is that you can see the guard who gets on and off the car in the underground parking lot."
"But what about height?" said Kogoro Mori. "Don't the girls who were attacked say that the height of the gangster is about 150 cm, but the guard is obviously nearly 170 cm tall."
"Uncle is deliberately pretending to be stupid again." Conan said in a naive voice: "The reason they say this is just to express that they think the height of the gangster is about the same as their own.
Since they were wearing thick-soled shoes over 10 cm at the time of the incident, it means that the gangster's height should be at least 10 cm tall. Uncle was asking questions knowingly."
"Ah, yes, that's right." Kogoro Mouri said awkwardly.
"By the way, we measured the heights of those girls when they came to the General Administration for interrogation. Because they were here to record confessions at that time, they did not wear such exaggerated thick-soled shoes." Sato Mikako said.
"But if the criminal wants to take revenge on Miss Araze, why not go to her house directly?" asked Kogoro Mori.
"You forgot that the deceased was only 20 years old this year. When the car accident happened, she was still a minor. How could the police publish her address to the public?" Officer Meguri said: "That's why he was ambushed in the parking lot where the incident happened. Wait for the day when she came to the department store to shop again and find an opportunity to start."
