Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

Chapter 606: Uncover the truth, a series of questions

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

Saruhashi Masaru asked back, meeting Shiina Yuichi's half-smile.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Shiina Yuichi sat down on a chair near the dining table and spoke slowly.

"I have asked all the questions I wanted to ask, but I would like to wait here for a while, just... about ten minutes."

Saruhashi Masaru's expression turned ugly again.

"Stop it now!" Saruhashi Masaru said as he stepped forward with his fist clenched. "You've been asking me weird questions since the beginning, and now you want to stay at my house?"

"Mr. Saruhashi, calm down." Noticing Saruhashi Masaru's emotional ups and downs, Inspector Megure hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Calm down? Officer, I have cooperated with your investigation, but this does not mean that you can bully me at will. If you don't leave in ten minutes, I will file a complaint against you."

Saruhashi Masaru looked at Inspector Megure coldly.

Inspector Megure, who was already confused, became a little annoyed by being stared at.

If he hadn't believed in Shiina Yuichi's judgment, he would have left long ago.

Fortunately, Saruhashi Masaru is still willing to continue cooperating.

Ten minutes was not a long time. Before long, Officer Takagi, sweating all over, ran back with a briefcase in his hand.

"Mr. Shiina, I brought the things as you ordered."

Officer Takagi walked step by step to Shiina Yuichi.

"Officer Takagi, please open the contents and show them to everyone." Shiina Yuichi spoke with confidence.

Officer Takagi glanced at Officer Megure, and after getting the latter's confirmation, he took out the items one by one as instructed.

Although the briefcase is not small, there is not much stuff in it.

A manuscript filled with words, a pen, and a tape.

"What is this?" Inspector Megure and Uncle Mori came forward, looking slightly puzzled.

Conan showed an expression that said "as expected".

"Officer Takagi, could you please play the contents of that tape?" Shiina Yuichi leaned back in his chair, staring at Saruhashi Masaru who was standing behind everyone.

When Officer Takagi pressed the play switch, a conversation and the sound of a train entering the station were soon heard.

"Mom, the car is coming, hurry up."

"Xiao Qiang, slow down, don't run, it's dangerous..."

Among those who heard this conversation, everyone except Saruhashi Katsu looked shocked.

The reason was simple: they had all heard this conversation, which sounded like that of passers-by on the street, at Tsukigata Ryutaro's residence not long ago.

To be precise, I heard it from the visitor message on his answering machine.

But... this conversation should have taken place at the Imperial Capital Station at 8:10 last night.

"Are you familiar with him? Officer Megure?" Shiina Yuichi said with a playful smile.

"What's going on?" Inspector Megure pressed his hat down, puzzled.

"It's very simple." Shiina Yuichi didn't intend to keep the secret, he stood up directly, and then walked step by step to Saruhashi Masaru, "Because the deceased... lied to us."

"The deceased lied?" Uncle Maori stared with his eyes wide open, as if something had hit him.

"That's right. The message from old man Yuexing was just a way for the deceased to create the illusion that he was still at the Imperial Capital Station at 8:10."

"Just think about it. He and Tsukigata Ryutaro agreed to meet at nine o'clock. Knowing that the teacher would not be at home at 8:10, he still made that phone call. Isn't that unnecessary?"

"In my opinion, this behavior is too deliberate."

"It's like paving the way for yourself before doing something shady."

"You're right, Mr. Saruhashi Masaru, who didn't see the deceased yesterday." Shiina Yuichi looked at Saruhashi Masaru with a cold face.

A drop of cold sweat instantly appeared on Saruhashi Katsu's forehead.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"But what does this represent?" Officer Takagi looked at the other things on the table. He felt like he had grasped something, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"Don't you understand yet?" Shiina Yuichi turned around and continued, "Where did you find these things?"

"Beika Station!" Officer Takagi suddenly realized.

"That's right. We saw before that the deceased didn't have anything on his body, but you got the deceased's things from the locker at Beika Station."

"Do you remember the purpose of the deceased rushing to Beika Town?" Shiina Yuichi asked back.

"I remember it was to let my teacher read the manuscript of the newly written novel." Uncle Maori touched his chin and recalled.

"Yes, if that's the case, then why did he choose to leave his things in the locker at Beika Station?" Shiina Yuichi snapped his fingers, "There is only one reason, that is because he has more important things to do."

"Intentionally falsifying an alibi to confuse others... Officer Megure, don't you think this behavior is familiar?"

crime!

Having said that, the three guys who were originally detectives present immediately realized what Shiina Yuichi meant.

The deceased, Yuichi Kusaka, had criminal tendencies before his death!

"So, what does this have to do with me?" Saruhashi Katsu said, trying to be strong and looking cold.

"No!" Shiina Yuichi looked at Saruhashi Masaru again, and the sense of oppression he exuded unintentionally became even stronger. "Of course it has something to do with you."

"How do you think I knew the deceased had something stored at Beihua Station?"

"That's right, I want to know too. Shiina boy, just tell me." Uncle Maori couldn't stand Shiina Yuichi's look and spoke quickly.

Shiina Yuichi didn't say anything, just gave Conan a look.

How can it be possible without the protagonist appearing?

Conan rolled his eyes when he was spotted, then willingly walked to the place where books were scattered on the ground and picked up a sketchbook.

Officer Takagi understood and stepped forward, and immediately found a key under the sketchbook.

"This is... the key to the locker, and the number on it is exactly the number where the deceased stored his belongings last night."

Officer Takagi held up the key and spoke to Officer Megure.

"What!" Officer Megure couldn't believe it.

On the other hand, Shiina Yuichi smiled like a winner.

"Okay, now can you please satisfy my curiosity, Mr. Saruhashi Masaru?"

"Why would a key belonging to a deceased person appear in the house of a person who had not been seen yesterday?"

"Don't try to fool me. With a little investigation, we can find out the exact time when the deceased stored his things. At worst, we can apply to investigate the tickets collected at the Beihua Station last night."

"Because the destruction date has not yet arrived, the ticket with the deceased's fingerprints should still be somewhere in Beika Station."
