The world of science is unscientific

“Yes,” Kogoro Mouri nodded, “I followed them all the way, but to avoid being discovered, I didn’t follow them immediately. I only broke down the door after I heard Ms. Nanri’s exclamation.”

"Oh right, I just remembered something. Before he fell, the deceased said something like 'Please forgive me,' and his expression was very panicked. He must have felt guilty at the time."

"I see..." Inspector Megure pondered, "It seems we can only ask Ms. Nanri about the reason behind this. Let's go."

"Miss Nanli lives at number 1015?"

Yusuke Suzuki suddenly asked a question.

“Yes,” Inspector Megure realized, “How did you know, Suzuki? You should have been inside the cafeteria the whole time.”

"Because I heard it before that."

Yusuke Suzuki pointed to the front desk and briefly explained what had happened. "Since the two of them have now formed this connection, I can reasonably deduce that it was the deceased who called and tricked Ms. Nanri down here."

"The reason he lied was because he had no idea what Miss Nanri looked like before, and he didn't know Miss Nanri at all."

"The teacher can testify to this, since the three of them were in the same elevator at the time."

He gave a brief analysis and continued, "Therefore, I speculate that the deceased was acting on someone's orders."

Chapter 553 Ladies, beware of scumbags who cheat you out of money

"Being instructed!?"

Megure asked urgently, "Who ordered you to do this?"

“How would I know?” Yusuke Suzuki spread his hands like a bear. “Like you said, I was in the cafeteria the whole time.”

Inspector Megure: "..."

What you said makes a lot of sense.

Okay, he admits he was indeed getting a little anxious.

Although Suzuki is very capable and highly trustworthy, the police currently have very little information.

He adjusted his hat. "In that case, it is urgent to inquire about the relevant matters with Miss Nanli. Our police can also use Miss Nanli's network of connections to identify a group of suspects."

ten minutes later.

When faced with Inspector Megure's questioning, Kaoru Nanri had only one answer.

I do not know.

Her words also confirmed Yusuke Suzuki's statement.

The deceased, Hitomi Matsuichiro, did not know her.

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head anxiously, "Miss Nanri, someone is trying to murder you! How can you say you know nothing about it?"

"But I really don't know who would want to kill me!"

Nanri Kaoru's expression was conflicted, her eyes brimming with tears. "I have never had any conflicts with anyone."

Yusuke Suzuki didn't believe that.

He kept observing the other person's micro-expressions.

Nanri Xun was still hiding something.

Who would she suspect and then choose to protect or deceive herself by not believing them?

Based on the other person's age and past experience, I guess it's someone like a boyfriend.

While Suzuki Yusuke was pondering, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri had already steered the conversation toward Hitomi Matsuichiro's family.

The last phone call Hitomi Matsuichiro made before his death was to his brother's wife.

The call took place at 11:20.

Kogoro Mouri had already taken out his camera, his mustache twitching. "He went to the bathroom around 11:10 and didn't come out until 11:30. No wonder he was in there for so long, he was on the phone."

"He also met with other people."

Yusuke Suzuki interjected at the opportune moment, "There were still nearly 10 minutes left before the call. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that the other party had a need to relieve themselves due to stress and tension."

"It's understandable that he needs some time to adjust his mindset after talking to his sister-in-law on the phone."

“But I still think he met someone else at the time, the one who instigated him to kill Miss Nanri.”

At this moment, Nanri Xun suddenly interrupted, "Are you all done asking questions? I want to be alone for a while."

But Conan didn't want to give her that chance. "You mentioned Mr. Anzai before, didn't you? It was at the counter."

After his reminder, Kogoro Mouri immediately remembered, "Yes."

The bumbling detective shifted his gaze and began to exert pressure, "Miss Nanri, who is this Mr. Anzai?"

"I do know a Mr. Anzai, but what does he have to do with this case?"

A hint of sadness flashed in Nanri Kaoru's eyes. "If you have no further questions, please leave."

“How can it not be related?” Inspector Megure slammed his hand on the table. “Miss Nanri, Hitomi Matsuichiro used Mr. Anzai to lure you down here.”

He recounted Suzuki Yusuke's entire speculation, took a breath, and said seriously, "Since Hitomi Matsuichiro knew to use Mr. Anzai's name to trick you into coming down, then perhaps it was this Mr. Anzai who sent him to kill you!"

"In any case, our police force must contact Mr. Anzai. Please cooperate with our work!"

After hearing this, Nanri Kaoru was stunned. "Impossible...impossible...impossible..."

After repeating it unconsciously several times, she finally sighed, "Actually, I'm looking for him now too."

Mr. Anzai met Minami Kaoru through diving and they later fell in love.

Nanri Kaoru thought the two of them would continue to live happily ever after.

We had already agreed to get married.

But just six months ago, this Mr. Anzai took a large sum of money from Nanri Xun and then disappeared without a trace.

For the past six months, she has been searching for him, hoping to get to the bottom of things in person.

When she was questioned earlier, she did consider that it might be her lover, with whom she had once pledged her life to, who wanted to kill her.

But she still held onto a sliver of hope.

As he spoke, Nanri Xun's tone grew increasingly somber.

Her throat was filled with sorrow.

speechless.

I also felt suffocated.

At this point, Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure could no longer be stern and harsh.

Nanri Kaoru is just a pitiful woman who has been deceived by love.

She shouldn't be criticized.

“However, you don’t even have the other party’s address, so how are you going to find them?” Kogoro Mouri sighed. “Aside from a surname, you know nothing about their basic information, and maybe even the surname is fake.”

Megure looked up. "So how are we going to find them now? And even if we do find them, we can't convict them based on the information we have."

He propped himself up on his knees. "Brother Mori, I think we should still get in touch with the Hitomi family."

“That’s right, Inspector Megure, let’s go.”

No sooner had the bumbling detective finished speaking than Nanri Kaoru spoke up again.

"Wait a minute, I have a photo here that might be a clue."

She found her bag and rummaged through it. "This is it. It was taken when we were still together."

"If he wants to kill me just because he's worried I'll come after him for debts... then Anzai is incredibly foolish..."

Yusuke Suzuki looked at Kaoru Nanri, who had started sobbing again with her head down, and didn't know what to say.

Hopefully, the other person will meet an honest and kind person in the future, otherwise they could easily be deceived two, three, four, or five times.

Before he could even look at the photo, Kogoro Mouri wondered, "I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before..."

"Teacher, please look at the camera."

Yusuke Suzuki gave a direct reminder.

After a quick scan, Yusuke Suzuki pointed to the person in the photo, "I think it's him. Teacher, do you remember if he had any interaction with Matsuichiro Hitomi?"

As he spoke, he held the camera up to Nanri Kaoru, "Miss Nanri, could you please take a look and see if this person is Mr. Anzai?"

"It's him!" Nanri Xun snatched the camera, looked closely, and became agitated. "Where was this photo taken?"

"I want to see it for myself."

"Let's forget about it," Kogoro Mouri refused directly. "Finding people is our job as detectives. Just relax here and wait for the results. You'll definitely get to meet them in the end, don't worry."

After saying that, he gave Inspector Megure a look, and the group left together.

Chapter 554 Exchange of Murders

“Brother Mori, that guy might still be where you took the picture. Let’s go over there together now.”

Back downstairs, Inspector Megure immediately began to deploy his work, but his attention was immediately drawn to the giant screen TV hanging on the wall.

A murder occurred in an apartment building in Beika.

Why are there so many things happening today?

However, the next moment everyone, including Yusuke Suzuki, was shocked.

The victim in this murder case was Hitomi Takehiko, the twin brother of Hitomi Matsuichiro!

The other person died at the same time as Hitomi Matsuichiro, 12:15!

“Is there such a thing?!”

"It can't be such a coincidence..."

Inspector Megure and Ran Mouri both expressed their feelings.

Yusuke Suzuki also frowned.

Are they really born on the same day, month, and year, and die on the same day, month, and year?
