Chapter 16 Chapter nine

Kosuke Kindaichi swung the wide sleeves of his kimono jacket as usual, and floated into the deserted Midorigaoka Police Station to search the office.Seeing him come in, Police Department Shimada took off the two bowed legs that were placed on the table: "How is it? The guy has fled to America with dignity?" Shimada was a little angry in his tone. "Press, waved goodbye happily. Let me take care of Mr. Director!" "Hmph, it's a joke!" The police department made a round face and said with his nose. In the chaotic room, there were five or six tables arranged in a square shape, and the owners of the tables were not away. Only the search chief, Shimada, was sitting in front of the table with a sad face.

It is not difficult for the Shimada Police Department to worry about it.When the poisoning incident occurred at the farewell banquet of the Robinsons last time, the police department wanted to keep the important witnesses, the Robinsons, for a period of time, but because the procedures for going abroad had been completed, there was no reason to prevent them from leaving.This time, although Ernst & Young said he returned to China after filming the film, important witnesses went abroad one after another at the critical moment of the search, which made Shimada's gentle sheep-like eyes also wear a shirt. color.

Although the last time can be said to be an incident of murder, it is certain that the guy who conspired to kill someone was at the banquet.Why not keep the Robinsons for a deeper, more thorough investigation?If the last investigation had been thorough, the poisoning and killing incident might not have happened this time.Not to mention, what's the point of indulging an important witness to go to the United States this time?The Shimada Police Department strongly felt that the residents of Green Hill had focused their blame on him, so how could he be dissatisfied with a sad face. But.For Jack Ernst & Young, whether he can participate in the performance this time is really crucial, and he cannot be forced to keep him, because human rights must be respected.So, when Shimada police department catches up with Jack.When Ernst and Young flew away from Haneda Xinran on December 26, he couldn't help but frowned and his teeth itch with hatred.

"Does Mr. Kindaichi really think that letting him go is irrelevant?" "That's right, Mr. Director." Kosuke Kindaichi took a chair from another table, and sat across from the police department without taking off his kimono: "Although he is a tramp, he is not a murderer, robber, or adulterer..." "But……" When the police department wanted to vent their dissatisfaction, Kosuke Kindaichi said in relief: "Yeah, yeah... It's a perfect opportunity for him to be able to participate in this filming. We shouldn't be stupid and let him miss this opportunity."

"That's the truth..." The last time the Robinsons set off from Yokohama, Shimada Police Department also did the same. He always felt as if he had lost something important. "Well, what's the result of the autopsy?" "Ah, that's right. Or Fanmu? Alkaline." "In what?" "It's not clear. I drank a lot of alcohol, ate toast and sandwiches, and the poison was mixed in it. Ah, yes! It seems that I also took the recently popular liver health drugs." "Liver health medicine...?" Kindaichi Kosuke couldn't help frowning, and said questioningly:

"But, didn't the victim not have this kind of thing on him?" "So, maybe it's from someone. Recently, alcoholics are taking this kind of medicine. Even the old man in our department believes in it. Whenever we attend a banquet, we must be forced to take it." "Have you asked the victim's wife? Does her husband have the habit of taking this medicine?" "No. She's exhausted from the funeral." "Ah, yes. There was a funeral today." Kindaichi Kosuke thought for a while and said: "So, how is Ms. Kawasaki's condition? Haven't you recovered enough to answer questions?"

"It is said that it will not be long. When you can answer the question, call us from the hospital." Immediately after encountering that incident, Kawasaki Yasuko was admitted to Midori Hills Hospital with hysterical fever caused by extreme excitement. "Only Mary knows..." Kosuke Kindaichi's mind was haunted by Yasuko's words blurted out before his hysterical attack, and he wished to know the meaning immediately. "Jin Jiu lived first. According to the analysis of the current situation, it seems that she did it. She tried to poison Fujimoto's wife at first, but failed, and poisoned Fujimoto to death the second time. Of course, she also thought that Tamiko would come the second time." , but unfortunately Tamiko didn’t show up because of a cold, so we attacked Tamiko’s husband.… Our thinking is basically like this.”

"That is to say, she harbors a hatred of being abandoned..." Kindaichi Kosuke answered casually. "Yes, that's right." Police Department Shimada stared intently at the other party's expression. Kindaichi Kosuke could not find enough evidence to refute the other party, but felt that this definition was too simplistic.Although there is no need to make complicated considerations about everything, Yasuko is a smart woman after all.It can be seen at a glance from her recent works that children like.I want to kill the man and love rival who abandoned me.It is absolutely possible to adopt more sophisticated means, and Yasuko has to take this into consideration.But Kosuke Kindaichi also knew that smart people often do stupid things.

"But, why is Fujimoto-kun?" Kindaichi Kosuke whispered to himself. "Why... mean..." "After he married his current lover, he hasn't even published a piece of work..." "Probably just playing with my lover." "However, Mr. Director, this is an era of rapid change, especially those who are engaged in writing. If they don't write for a year, they will be forgotten. Besides, Fujimoto-kun is not a famous writer, and he is also a person with a strong vanity... " "But, what does this have to do with what happened...? In other words, what does Fujimoto-kun's failure to write a book have to do with this event?..."

"No, I don't understand that either. . . . " Just as Kindaichi Kosuke was ambiguous, the phone on the desk rang harshly.Police Department Shimada picked up the receiver, answered a few words, and hung up: "Mr. Kindaichi, Ms. Kawasaki has recovered enough to answer questions." From the conversation between Shimada Police Department Suzuki and the other party, Kindaichi Kosuke had already heard the content of the phone call, and when Kanbusuke told him, he had already left his chair and stood up.
