Chapter 148 Looking for clues
Chapter 149: Searching for Clues
"When I was being chased by those kids, I did stall the car several times. But that was because the spark plug was damaged. Also, I did stall the car at the corner of the factory, but I did not park the car at the back door of the factory, and it was even more impossible that I killed anyone. It was all a coincidence." In the police station, the driver who caused the accident sat in front of Takagi and explained himself.

"The driver's name is Kenichi Shishido, he is 35 years old and used to be a worker at the Ishikura factory. However, he was fired by the company last month due to improper behavior." Officer Megure explained to us outside the interrogation room.

"Well, then this person is highly suspicious, right?" Genta looked up and asked Megure.

"That won't work, Genta." Mitsuhiko interrupted. "Because we were right outside the back door of the factory when the crime happened, the man didn't have time to commit the crime at that time."

"Ah, our people also asked the cigarette-smoking old lady at the back door about the situation. At that time, apart from the three children, the old lady did not see anyone else, nor did she see any cars parked at the back door. There was no car either at the back door of the factory or in the alley." Megure continued.

"So, the two cases this time must be coincidences?" Dad thought with his chin in his hand.

"No, I don't think it's a coincidence. The prisoner is obviously hiding something." I said coldly to the prisoner through the window beside Mitsuhiko. Although his expression was a little depressed because of bumping into someone, his handcuffed hands were clenched tightly together and fluttered constantly. This was obviously due to nervousness.

"Xiaoxun, I know you are a little unwilling, but you have performed very well. Leave the rest to us. It's getting late, you should go home early." Megure looked at my expression, as if he was looking for an excuse for my unwillingness.

"...Okay." I looked up at Officer Megure and gave up the idea of ​​continuing the investigation. After all, if I continued, I was afraid that I would cause the disgust of the officer and my father because of my unreasonable behavior, so without saying anything more, I took Genta and Mitsuhiko out of the police station.

"Hey, Mingya, do you also think this case is a coincidence?" After walking out of the door, Yuantai looked at me with a frown.

"How can it be a coincidence? The criminal waited for us on the road so many times, it is definitely impossible that the spark plug of the car was broken." I said with some displeasure. "This case must have been committed by Shishido Kenichi, but he cleverly used us as an alibi."

"Um... why do I feel like Mingya seems very angry about this matter today?" Mitsuhiko smiled awkwardly at me.

"Of course, for no reason..."

Before I could finish my words, a pleasant ringtone rang in my ears. I picked up the phone and it turned out to be Conan.

"Moshi Moshi, what's wrong, Conan?"

"Huh? Are you outside?" When Conan heard me call Kudo, he immediately realized that it was not convenient for me to talk at the moment.

"Ah, handling a case." I said coldly.

"What? You also encountered a case?"

"Really? So things aren't going well over there either." I shook my head. He is indeed the godson of the god of death, and wherever he goes, he dies. Wait, that's not right, Conan is gone, why am I still encountering murders?
"Ah, I'm dealing with a family inheritance dispute. An old man in this family was threatened because of this matter. I don't know what happened next." Conan said helplessly. "What about you?"

"My case is that Yoshida was hit by a car, and when we were tracking down the driver, we found that he had turned himself in. However, during the chase, the director of a factory we passed by that was not open today died. He died just as we were passing by here. And the driver happened to be an employee of this factory who had just been fired a month ago." I narrated the case to Conan.

"Hey, so you are the best proof of the driver's innocence?" Conan said with a smile. "Do you need my help?"

"No need, just take care of yourself. I'll take care of this." I responded.

"Wait, I seem to have missed the point again. Eh? Why did I say again?" Conan was alert. "You are actually interested in the case?!"

"It's not that I'm interested, it's that I have to get to the bottom of this case!" I said angrily. "That bastard driver actually tricked me into running seven blocks and then turned himself in. Damn it, I won't believe that these two cases are coincidental even if I kill you. It's obvious that he's using a small crime to cover up a big crime. How can I let him off for this? If this happened before, I would definitely shoot him..."

"Stop!" Conan interrupted me. "It seems that I am not the only one who is impulsive. It turns out that you are impulsive too." On the other side of the phone, Conan was squinting his half-moon eyes and laughing.

"Uh... ahem, okay, I lost my temper this time." I turned around and looked at the puzzled expressions on Genta and Mitsuhiko's faces, then adjusted my breathing. I turned around and walked to the side and continued. "Forget it, no matter what, this case must have been committed by the driver, I just need to find evidence. Although it's a bit tiring, I must make him stay in prison for more than ten years. Even if this is a coincidence, I will create evidence to make him stay in prison for more than ten years!"

"Hello..." Conan was speechless. "Forget it, I called today just to ask about Xiaolan's situation."

"Ah, there's nothing wrong with Xiaolan. Although she did doubt your identity, because Sister Yukiko came forward, Xiaolan didn't seem to have too many doubts after that." I said lightly.

"Okay, I don't have anything to do here. By the way, if she can make it, Mom said she also wants to go to the TWO-MIX show on Saturday. I want to ask if you still have tickets."

"Yes, there are still a lot, all VIP tickets. Let Sister Yukiko come." At this point, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"Ah, I'll hang up first. If you have any questions about the case over there, remember to call me." After saying that, Conan hung up the phone first.

"Tsk, really. I've only been back for a few days and I'm already surrounded by Conan's aura of the god of death. It's better for me to keep a distance from him in the future." I hung up the phone happily.

"Mingya, what did you mean by using a small crime to cover up a big one?" After hanging up the phone, Mitsuhiko immediately asked me.

"It's using a minor crime to cover up a major crime." I explained. "For example, in this case, if the driver is really the murderer, then he should be sentenced to at least ten years in prison for murder. And he is now using the hit-and-run incident to prove that he has nothing to do with the murder. According to Ayumi's injuries, they can only be judged as minor injuries. Although he fled the scene, he still surrendered himself, and it was not more than a day ago. The most the police can punish him is to pay for some medical expenses. In this way, he has cleared the possibility of murder."

"What?! So the driver is really the murderer?" Yuan Tai was shocked. "I don't know, but I am 90% sure it is him. The only uncertainty is that there is no evidence, so I have to go back to find evidence. Are you going?" I looked at the two people.

"Of course I'll go! Even if it's for Ayumi's injury, I'll bring that bad guy to justice!"

"Of course I'll go! Even if it's for Ayumi's injury, I'll bring that bad guy to justice!"

"Well... then, let's go."

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

A few minutes later, we returned to the back door of the factory, but it was completely blocked by the police and we couldn't get in.

"What should we do, Mingya? This place has been sealed off." Mitsuhiko said in difficulty.

"It doesn't matter. The criminal just went in and killed someone. There shouldn't be much evidence." I said calmly. "On the contrary, when we were standing here, the criminal disappeared, and the old lady behind the door also said that there was no trace of a car parked here at the time, but after we asked the old lady, the car appeared again at the corner of the alley. In other words, the car should have been deliberately left for us to see. Why is this? If he is the criminal, then how did he make the car cleverly bypass the old lady? Therefore, this street is the focus of our investigation."

"So, where should we start?" Yuan Tai asked me.

"How about this, we split into three groups, starting from the back door of this factory. I'll search to the left, Yuantai, you go to the right, and remember what buildings you can find until the corner of the street. Guangyan, please ask the old woman if she can remember any details of the incident."

"it is good!"

"Ok!"

In this way, the three of us went to three different places to investigate. The reason why I chose the left side was that when I was chasing the criminal, I felt that the warehouse over there was strange. There were many tire tracks at the door of the warehouse. Maybe it was a parking place for unloading goods. Next to it was the factory. If this warehouse belonged to this factory, then Shishido Kenichi might have a spare key to the warehouse. So I thought this might be a key point.

Coming to the window of the warehouse, I looked around and after making sure that no one was there, I jumped up to the window. I grabbed the window frame and used my arms to pull my whole body up. The inside of the warehouse was immediately visible to me. After jumping out of the window, I smiled coldly. Because in this warehouse, I saw an absolute evidence that should not have been here.
"Mingya!" Yuantai ran towards me as soon as I reached the back door of the factory. "There's nothing strange on that street corner, just a garage."

"Garage?" I seemed to understand something. But I still had a question, but I should be able to get the answer from Mitsuhiko.

"Mingya." As he was speaking, Mitsuhiko also walked towards us from the tobacco shop.

"How was it?" I asked.

"Just like when we met, the old lady didn't remember anything new." Mitsuhiko pointed at the old lady who was on the phone again and said worriedly.

"Hey. That old lady seems to always receive calls." I said with a smile.

"Yeah, maybe it's because of the cigarette shop. There were two wrong calls today."

"Wrong number?" I got the point. "About what time was it?"

"It was about a few minutes before we came here after chasing the driver." Mitsuhiko said. "Because we came here not long after receiving the wrong call, the old lady still had a deep impression of us."

After hearing what Mitsuhiko said, I narrowed my eyes slightly, turned my head to look at the warehouse just now, and then looked at the garage that Yuanta mentioned. Then I closed my eyes.

"What's wrong with you, Mingya?" Seeing me close my eyes, Mitsuhiko asked in confusion. I just raised my hand to signal him not to speak. Because in my mind, the criminal's murder process was playing out at this moment, from the warehouse just now, to the wrong phone call from the tobacco shop, to the garage on the corner, all in one go.

"Hmph, it's him!" I opened my eyes and the corner of my mouth showed the same evil smile that I once had.

"It's him? Who is he?" Yuan Tai was puzzled.

"I mean, it's confirmed that the criminal is Kenichi Shishido." I smiled at Genta.

"Huh?! So, Mingya, you found the evidence?" Mitsuhiko said excitedly.

"Ah, we have not only seen through the evidence, but also the method used." I said confidently. "But the only puzzle is why the criminal chose us to be his witnesses. But this does not seem to affect the case. Come on, I will take you to see the evidence."

"Us? Don't we need to call the police?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Ah, before calling the police, I'm going to tell you everything I know." I focused my eyes. "Because Yoshida-san was injured in this case, it must be solved by our Junior Detective Team ourselves!"
