Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 63 New Rice Hidden in Leftovers

Soon after, Makino and Inspector Megure rushed to the Nishida family at 4-chome, Beika-cho.

After seeing the face of Kogoro Mouri that could not be more familiar, Inspector Megure sighed softly.

Recently, he always meets Kogoro Mori at crime scenes.

This guy's presence can be seen at almost every murder scene.

Although it's great that he can help me solve the case, the frequency of our meetings is too...

Could it be that Brother Maori is possessed by some bad thing?

……

After listening to Kogoro Mori's brief explanation at the door, Makino and Inspector Megure entered the scene.

After a quick look, Makino put on white gloves, picked up the bottle of cold medicine that the victim, Ariyoshi Nishida, had taken before his death, and checked it.

Then, he turned to look at Officer Takagi standing beside him: "Takagi, have you notified the victim's family?"

"The victim's wife should be here soon, but their son is currently studying out of town, so he hasn't been notified yet."

"Okay, I understand. Go investigate the interpersonal relationships and financial situation of the victim and his wife."

"Yes!" Officer Takagi raised his hand and saluted.

At the same time, Conan also ran to Kogoro Mouri and eavesdropped on his conversation with Inspector Megure.

Judging from the news this morning, this case is very difficult.

This type of random killing case is the most difficult to solve because the police cannot find any clues from the victim, let alone the crime scene.

As long as the criminal deliberately chooses a "remote and unmonitored" place to poison, the police will not be able to find useful clues and intelligence through investigation.

What is even more terrifying is that this indiscriminate poisoning and killing will cause strong anxiety and panic among the people.

Under pressure from the public and public opinion, the police will find it even more difficult to act, thus forming a vicious cycle.

After "escaping", the prisoners will become more daring and unscrupulous.

For this kind of indiscriminate serial murder case, the most difficult thing is not to deduce the criminal's modus operandi, but to find suspects who may be the criminal.

Uncle Maori's client is already the fourth victim of this indiscriminate killing.

If the criminals are not caught in time, this number will probably continue to rise.

Before Conan finished hearing the details of the case, the victim's wife, Nishida Aya, rushed back home.

After seeing her husband's body, Nishida Aya sat down on the ground, covering her face and crying.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure hurried forward to comfort them.

Nishida Aya excitedly pushed the two people away and loudly accused the police of incompetence: "If it weren't for you, my husband would never have died!!!"

Inspector Megure and the other police officers present lowered their heads helplessly, looking at Mrs. Nishida's tearful face, they didn't know how to refute.

Just then, Officer Takagi walked up to Makino and whispered the results of the investigation.

After listening to the results of the investigation, Makino walked behind Nishida Aya and slowly said, "Mrs. Nishida, let's talk about the rest after you return to the Metropolitan Police Department with us, including how you came up with the idea of ​​using cyanide to kill indiscriminately."

Nishida Aya: “?!”

After hearing what Makino said, everyone present looked at Nishida Aya in astonishment.

Of course they understood what Inspector Makino meant.

So... the Mrs. Nishida in front of them is the real culprit of the serial poisoning case? ! Although Inspector Megure believed Makino's judgment, he still asked out of doubt in his heart: "Officer, is this Mrs. Nishida the serial poisoner?"

Makino nodded and said, "Mrs. Nishida, I heard that you and your wife have had some financial problems."

Nishida Aya was silent for a moment, then looked at Makino with a dissatisfied look: "Yes, my husband was recently fired by the company, so I went out to work part-time. Officer, you can't think I'm a criminal just based on this, right?!"

Makino did not answer this question, but continued: "I heard that you once bought a huge insurance policy for your husband?"

An unnatural expression flashed across Nishida Aya's face for a moment.

After hearing the term "huge insurance", Inspector Megure on the side also looked at Nishida Aya in surprise.

They encounter countless cases of various purposes every year.

Among them, killing for huge insurance money is already a very normal motive for murder.

Conan's eyes were shocked, and he lowered his head with his hand to think.

After coming to her senses, Nishida Aya stared at Makino and gritted her teeth, "So what? Do you think I would kill my husband for the insurance money?! I can see that you can't catch the real murderer who poisoned me, so you say I am the murderer!!"

Makino chuckled and said, "That's not right. Aren't you standing right in front of us?"

Hearing this, Nishida Aya was stunned.

Before she could speak, Makino continued, "I didn't expect you to think of creating a 'random poisoner' to get yourself out of the crime.

What's more, you used cyanide. If the police haven't identified the suspect yet, they will naturally have no way to start. But now that we suspect you, we will naturally focus on investigating the source of the cyanide in your hands."

As Makino finished speaking, Nishida Aya's expression changed noticeably.

Seeing that Nishida Aya stood there without saying a word, Makino continued: "Cyanide is very corrosive and will destroy the capsule shell in a short time, so the poisoning must have occurred shortly before the drug was sold.

That’s why the cold medicines in the homes of the first three victims were all newly bought. But the cold medicine your husband took doesn’t seem to be new...”

Hearing this, Nishida Aya completely gave up resistance and collapsed to the ground.

She knew that her husband would also see the news after the poisoning.

If I replace the cold medicine at home with a new one, it will definitely arouse my husband's vigilance.

In order to ensure that her husband could take the poison, she had to give up and replace the cold medicine at home with new ones. Unexpectedly, this became the evidence of her "exposure".

Amid everyone's silent gaze, Nishida Aya collapsed to the ground and told everyone that her husband owed a large sum of money from gambling.

If this continues, they won't even be able to afford their son's tuition.

She came up with this plan in order to allow her son to continue his studies and to stop her husband from gambling.

The best way to hide a tree is to hide it among the trees...

Although they heard Nishida Aya's motives and confession, Inspector Megure and others were unable to empathize with her at all.

After ordering Nishida Aya to be brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Megure pressed his hat.

His expression was extremely solemn, without any trace of the relief he usually showed after solving a case.

Conan stared at Makino with admiration and felt a little shocked inside.

He had long known that Inspector Makino was very capable, but he had never taken it to heart.

This time he saw with his own eyes that a serial poisoning case that even he himself thought was extremely difficult was solved so quickly by Inspector Makino...

At this time, Makino glanced at Nishida Aya who walked to the door, and said lightly: "Okay, it's time to talk about other things next."
