Chapter 17 [Chapter 017] This is self-defense

"What? Negishi Masaki is dead?"

Kogoro looked at Officer Megure in front of him in surprise.

Officer Megure nodded: "Just last night, when the Red Ghost Village in Gunma County held an annual fire ceremony, a corpse was found in the fire. According to the documents and teeth dropped next to the corpse,

By comparing the traces, we can confirm that the deceased is Negishi Masaki."

"It's unbelievable. I followed this guy for three days and just finished the commission, but he died?"

Kogoro frowned.

"Is this the person who asked you to follow Masaki Negishi?"

Officer Megure placed a photo in front of Kogoro.

"Yes, that's him, Hiroshi Abe." Kogoro nodded, "He asked me to follow Masaki Negishi for three days and took a lot of photos."

"That's right. The police's preliminary investigation shows that Hiroshi Abe is highly suspected of committing the crime."

Officer Megure said in a deep voice: "According to the investigation, Negishi Masaki took out a large amount of personal accident insurance, and the beneficiary turned out to be Hiroshi Abe, so we suspected Hiroshi Abe. But Hiroshi Abe provided sufficient alibi to prove that the crime occurred

At that time, he was traveling abroad with his company colleagues and could not appear in Gunma County at all. More importantly, he also offered that you could prove his innocence."

"Because the body was burned by fire, the precise time of death cannot be detected. Before yesterday, I had been tracking the deceased, and I can prove that Abe Hiroshi had no contact with the deceased."

Kogoro snorted: "This kid Hiroshi Abe is very good at calculating. This includes me, a famous detective, in his calculations."

"So if we want to crack Abe Hiroshi's alibi, you are the key witness."

Officer Megure frowned and said: "Brother Maori, are you sure Negishi Masaki was fine in the past three days?"

"Now it seems that there must be something wrong with Negishi Masaki."

Kogoro said coldly: "Let's do this, Officer Megure, give me a copy of the evidence provided by Hiroshi Abe. I will take it back and compare it with the photos I took when I was following you. I will definitely be able to find clues."

"Okay, I believe you, brother Maori." Officer Megure nodded, "But you have to act quickly. It is said that Hiroshi Abe has already applied for the insurance money."

"Don't worry, Officer Memu, I will definitely be able to give you a perfect answer before this afternoon."

Kogoro left the police station with a serious expression. In his memory, there was indeed a case in which the real murderer boldly used Kogoro Mouri to complete the murder plan. But he did not expect that the criminal was Hiroshi Abe.

Hiroshi Abe!

Very good, you took advantage of yourself, you didn’t even get paid for entrusting the tracking, so you just want to run away with the money?

I won’t let you peel off your skin this time, so I will take my daughter’s last name.

After rushing home, the wooden puppet had developed the photos and placed them in Kogoro's bedroom. Kogoro picked up the photos and looked at them one by one, and then he was confused.

I remember that four days ago, I gave the wooden puppet a task to track the target in the photo. Then the wooden puppet executed it perfectly. He killed Hiroshi Abe, hid the body in the pyre, and asked the stand-in to dress up as the deceased.

The process of continuing to wander outside was clearly photographed.

With this thing, do you still need to use your brain?

Kogoro looked at the photo in his hand and blinked, suddenly feeling a little boring.

Is this cheating too much?

That's weird.

It feels good to cheat for a while, and it feels good to cheat all the time.

Go give Hiroshi Abe a good beating and make yourself happy.

I don’t know whether the insurance company has good service or is just stupid. The police haven’t determined the case yet, so Abe Hiroshi successfully withdrew the insurance money. Then without saying anything, Abe Hiroshi went straight to the airport to prepare.

Get away.

"Mr. Hiroshi Abe, where are you going in such a hurry?"

As soon as Abe Hiroshi got out of the car, he saw the smiling Mouri Kogoro.

"Maori Detective?"

Abe Hiroshi was stunned at first, but then calmed down: "Sorry, the company has an emergency and I have to go on a business trip. If you have any questions, we can talk about it when I get back, okay?"

"That's not good." Kogoro sneered, "Your commission hasn't been settled yet, and you just ran away. Where can I find you?"

"Yes, yes, there is still a commission fee."

Abe Hiroshi took out a thick envelope directly from his pocket: "Actually, I had prepared it a long time ago, but Detective Maori never came to me, so I didn't have time to give it to you."

"How much is in it?"

"We negotiated before, five hundred thousand."

"Made, you took 500 million, but you gave me 500,000? Where are the beggars you sent away?"

Abe Hiroshi's expression suddenly turned cold: "Mr. Mori, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"Don't understand? It's okay if you don't understand. You will understand when I give you a good beating."

Seeing Kogoro Mouri walking towards him with a ferocious smile on his face, Hiroshi Abe did not panic and directly pulled out the dagger from his waist: "In that case, don't blame my men for being ruthless, great detective."

"Resist? That's great. No matter how hard I beat you, it will still be considered self-defense."

"Go to hell, Mouri Kogoro!"

"Bang bang bang... bang bang bang... ah ah ah..."

Half an hour later.

Kogoro, who was unharmed, squatted on the roadside and smoked silently, with an unknown human-like object lying next to him.

"...You persuaded him to surrender, but it turned out that he wanted to kill someone and silence him, so he knocked him down in self-defense." The young police officer in charge of taking notes asked politely, "Write it this way, isn't it, Senior Maori?

?”

Kogoro glanced at the young police officer whose painting style was gradually approaching Takagi, but was not exactly the same. He nodded: "Yes, that's what happened."

"That's no problem, just sign."

"Well, young man, do your best, I'm optimistic about you."

Kogoro patted the young police officer on the shoulder and walked to Officer Megure with a few steps: "Officer Megure, I've finished the transcript and given you the photos. I'll go back if nothing happens."

Officer Megure glanced at him: "Self-defense?"

Kogoro nodded: "Justifiable defense."

"What's wrong with you? The opponent's limbs were shattered, his ribs were half broken, and his head was swollen like a pig's head. Is this just self-defense?"

"Don't worry, I won't become a vegetative state. I know that."

"..." Officer Memu lowered his voice, and said in a low voice with a bit of hatred for iron. "It's not like we didn't teach you in the police station how to seriously injure people without being able to see it on the outside. As a result, you had to get bloody."

Hula, what should I do if reporters take pictures?"

"I can't help it. Who asked him to hold a knife? I'm a little nervous. Let's do it next time. Be careful next time."

"Do you still want a next time? By the way, what's going on with those photos of yours? Since Hiroshi Abe was found to have committed murder a long time ago, why didn't you report it to the police earlier?"

"Oh, Officer Megure, I have already explained that it was not taken by me, but by my informant. I am so busy at work every day, how could I waste all three days on one person."

"I was entrusted with following you, and then you changed the contract and asked your informant to follow. Is this considered a lie?"

"It doesn't count, because the grandson hasn't paid the bill yet... Wait, I seem to have been cheated? Officer Megu, I want to call the police, I was cheated... Oh, Officer Megu, don't run away?"
