Chapter 15
?A pale-faced woman stood by the half-open door, looking at the situation in the room, seemed to be hesitant, Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked up and down at the client.
The woman's eyes were red, as if she had cried before coming, and her dark circles were heavy, and she looked like she hadn't had a good sleep for a long time. "Is this an armed detective agency?"
"This is the armed detective agency." Akutagawa Ryunosuke put the tea in front of the woman. Although Akutagawa Ryunosuke had just joined the armed detective agency, Edogawa Ryunosuke still trusted the incident to Akutagawa Ryunosuke.
"Thank you." The woman's voice was extremely hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time. When the woman picked up the water cup, Ryunosuke Akutagawa clearly saw that there were crescent-shaped pinch marks on the woman's palm.
It looks like the scar has been scarred and it looks like there are some days.
This kind of trace will only appear if you pinch your palms hard.
"I wonder, what do you want to entrust us to the detective agency?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke sat directly opposite the woman, waiting patiently for the woman to speak.
"They don't believe me. Whether it is the police, the students and teachers, they insist that my sister committed suicide, but my sister could not commit suicide, and my sister could not commit suicide..." As she said that, the woman's voice became a little choked.
"Speak slowly." Akutagawa Ryunosuke successfully calmed the woman's mood, and the woman finally began to tell what happened.
The woman's name is Chi Ben Shimi, and there is a sister named Chi Ben Ari. Their parents died many years ago. They lived together for many years.
Now Ari Ikemoto is an art teacher in a school. Although his salary is not high, he is better at leisure.
But some time ago, Ari Ikemoto hanged in the school studio. Several witnesses bit to death to death at one point at that time, Ari Ikemoto was the only one in the studio, and even gave each other an alibi to each other.
The police also found no other evidence. The witnesses also said that Ari Ikemoto had a mental state problem these days, and this incident can only be attributed to the suicide incident in the end.
But Ikemoto Mami didn't believe that her sister would commit suicide.
"There were witnesses who proved it, and the police did not find any other evidence. It should have committed suicide." Kunikida Dubu was a little confused. There should be no way to fake such a thing.
"Impossible, my sister cannot commit suicide." Kunikida's words seemed to hit the pain point of Ikemoto Mami, and Ikemoto Mami's emotions became excited again.
"Miss Ikemoto, calm down, you actually said that, then there must be evidence to prove this." Akutagawa Ryunosuke put the cup he was holding on the table.
The sound of tapping the table at the bottom of the cup made Chi Benmami's body tremble and she returned to her calmness. "Sorry, I lost my composure, but I have evidence. This is my sister's account book."
Ikebuchi Mami took out an exquisite book from the bag she carried with her and handed it to Akugawa Ryunosuke. Akugawa Ryunosuke took the book, and Ikebuchi Mami signaled Akugawa Ryunosuke to open the book.
Ryunosuke Akutagawa opened the book, and the inner pages of the book were very exquisite, recording the life of Ari Ikemoto in the form of pictures. The style of the picture was funny and humorous, and it was impossible to tell that Ari Ikemoto had psychological problems.
"This is a hobby of my sister. She likes to record her life in the form of pictures. She played the day before her suicide. She just made an appointment with me and waited for her to take a vacation before going on a trip."
Since I was going out for a trip, it was indeed abnormal to choose to commit suicide the next day. The account in Ryunosuke Akutagawa's hand had already turned to the end, and the last page was only half drawn.
The above clearly records the travel plan of Ikemoto Ari’s, what to buy and what to bring with you.
The style on the last page continues the style that I used to before the account. Ryunosuke Akutagawa did not see much problem. It seems that Ari Ikemoto's suicide was indeed a big problem.
"Mr. Ranbu." Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at Edogawa Ranbu. Whether the armed detective agency accepts this commission depends on the meaning of Edogawa Ranbu.
"We have taken this entrusted to you, and Mr. Shinhara's task will be handed over to you." Edogawa Ranbu stood behind Ryunosuke Akutagawa and patted Ryunosuke Akutagawa on the shoulder.
"This incident is too long apart, and it will be difficult to investigate. Shinhara has just joined. Can I leave it to Shinhara?" Kunikida subconsciously frowned.
It's not that he has any opinions about Ryunosuke Akutagawa, but if such a case is left to Ryunosuke Akutagawa alone, is it difficult to complete it?
The evidence of the case has been so long, so many of them may not be found.
"I paid the school to rent the studio where my sister had an accident, but it was about to expire." Ike Benmama smiled extremely helplessly. Because of this, the money she saved over the years was almost used up.
But if you can find out who killed her sister, there will be no problem with how much money she spends.
"It's not too late, let's go now." Ryunosuke Akutagawa stood up, "I want to go to the crime scene to see it."
It was time for students to finish school, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa walked around the crowd, attracting a large number of attention.
Ikemoto Mami took Akutagawa Ryunosuke and walked all the way inside. She finally stopped in front of one of the several seemingly desolate bungalows behind a forest.
"It's here." Ike Benmami took out a key from her pocket. Ike Benmami's hand trembled abnormally, and the key was always aimed at the keyhole that was not locked.
"I'll do it." Akutagawa Ryunosuke pressed Ikemoto's shoulder and signaled her to hand over the key to herself.
On the other side of the bungalow, in front of a window that I forgot to close, a man and a woman stood in front of the window.
"Shinichi, isn't it good for us to do this? Not only did we sneak into other people's schools, but we also sneak into here without permission." Maori Ran shivered. There were not even people in this place, so there would be no ghosts or anything else.
"How can this be considered another school? This is Didan High School. We are Didan Middle School. If we have to go directly to this place in the future, how can we be considered secretly entering other people's schools?"
Kudo Shinichi had already reached into the window with his feet one by one. Kudo Shinichi showed a cunning smile at Ran Mori, "You have come, you must set a whistle for me."
Only then did Maori Ran feel that he seemed to have already boarded the pirate ship. Maori Ran felt that his childhood sweetheart was unreliable.
Kudo Shinichi is the same as Ikemoto Mami. I feel that this incident is a bit strange. It is different from Ikemoto Mami Ari Ikemoto sister. Kudo Shinichi has nothing to do with Ikemoto Ari Ikemoto.
If you want to talk about the only relationship, it is probably only that Kudo Shinichi met with Ari Ikemoto.
That was half a month ago—
Kudo Shinichi sent Maori Ran another pigeon because he encountered an incident that he was interested in. Maori Ran was finally angry this time.
Shinichi Kudo realized that things were not good, so he could only buy gifts to please Ran Maori, but how could he, a boy, understand what a little girl would like?
Shinichi Kudo and Ari Ikemoto also met at that time, "You have been standing here for a long time. Are you going to buy gifts for whom? Let me guess, you have been struggling for so long, so you can't be your girlfriend or something."
Kudo Shin-chan looked at the woman standing next to him and talking. The woman was wearing a short skirt and her face was exquisite and beautiful.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend." Kudo Shinichi shook his head helplessly. He is only Kyushu, so where is his girlfriend? "But I did buy gifts for girls. I accidentally angered my Qingmei. Now I can only buy gifts to please her."
"Then you shouldn't be in this area, you should go to that area." Ari Ikemoto pointed to the area next to him, which was where Ari Ikemoto had just stood. "The things girls and boys like are different."
"Can you please help me choose? Teacher?" Kudo Shinichi revealed Ari Ikemoto's identity one by one.
"How did you know I am a teacher?" Ari Ikemoto widened his eyes incredibly. She was sure that she had never seen this student before, and the boy's height and appearance were obviously more like a middle school student in China. You should know that she taught a high school student.
Could it be that she had seen this person somewhere that she forgot
Ari Ikemoto tried hard to recall his memories, wanting to find a face that could coincide with the person in front of him.
"I also know that you are an art teacher. There is a shallow trace on your cuff. Combined with the faint smell of turpentine oil on your body, you can tell that the trace on your cuff is a trace of pigment, which can tell that you are engaged in art.
You can see from your standing posture that you don’t like wearing high heels, but you still step on them, which means that this may be your job requirement..." Kudo Shinichi talked so excitedly for a minute or two before he finished how he judged.
"Little classmate, you are right. My name is Ichimoto Yali. I am the art teacher at Didan High School nearby. As a reward you guessed by the little classmate, I can help you refer to the gifts you gave to Qingmei."
The gift from Ari Ikemoto to help Shinichi Kudo was extremely happy. Ran Maori quickly forgave Shinichi Kudo.
Kudo Shinichi thanked Ari Ikemoto for his help and wanted to thank her in person, but once again heard about Ari Ikemoto, it was a week later that he learned from the newspaper that "Didan High School Art Teacher committed suicide due to depression"
There was no photo in the newspaper. At that time, Shinichi Kudo didn't expect that the name of the suicide person would be Ari Ikemoto when he was named. He just thought that he happened to meet the same name and surname at the same school.
It was not until another week passed that Shinichi Kudo wanted to thank Ari Ikemoto. After inquiring, he found out that the art teacher who committed suicide due to depression was Ari Ikemoto who was smiling and cheerful.
Kudo Shinichi's first reaction was that this was impossible. Why was she the one who committed suicide?
Kudo Shinichi asked his father to find Officer Meguro, who was in the police station, to review the file. At that time, the testimony of the witnesses in the case was held.
But I found that although these people seemed to have nothing to do with each other, they were proving to the other party that they had nothing to do with the case, and it looked like they were covering up each other.
What are they covering up?
As a detective’s intuition, Kudo Shinichi felt that these people must have something to do with this case.
