Police Officer Megure and the others asked Maori Kogoro and the villagers at the scene about the situation of the case.
In the end, they locked onto three suspects.
The first person was the candidate for the village chief, Masato Shimizu.
Because of the three dead people, two of their identities had already been confirmed.
They were the current village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and the biggest capitalist on the island, Kawajima Hideo.
These two people were also candidates for the village chief this year.
If both of them died at the same time, the one who benefited the most was Masato Shimizu, who was also a candidate for the village chief.
Naturally, he would be the first suspect of the police.
As for the other two suspects, they were the missing Ken Nishimoto and the village chief's secretary, Kazuaki Hirata.
There were two suspects, but there was only one.
The other should be the third charred corpse lying with the current village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and the capitalist, Kawashima Hideo.
However, the police were still unable to confirm the identity of the third charred body.
Officer Megure ordered his men to search the entire island for Nishimoto Ken or Hirata Kazuaki.
He also informed all the villagers that if they found any of those two people, they must be notified immediately.
Meanwhile, Officer Megure began interrogating Masato Shimizu.
Maori Kogoro was also helping with the interrogation.
"Officer, I really didn't kill the village chief and Mr. Kawashima. When the explosion happened, I was at the Citizen Hall with Doctor Honest!”
"Mr. Mao Li was also present at the time. He can testify for me.”Masato Shimizu felt a headache coming on.
He had never thought that he would become the suspect for the murder of the village chief and Kawashima Hideo.
To be honest, he would not kill anyone just for the position of village chief.
"Mister Qingshui, we were indeed together when the explosion happened. However, you don't need to be there when the explosion happens.”
"You can make a timer or a remote control device.”Maori Kogoro said.
"Mr. Mao Li, I'm just a fisherman. I don't know how to make bombs.”Masato Shimizu's face was filled with bitterness.
How could he be so sure that he was the murderer?
Officer Sato walked over.
"Officer Megure, we've investigated everything. According to the testimony of Mr. Kuroyama and Mr. Kawashima's family, they had not been seen since they woke up in the morning.”
"When I went to their house, I found that Mr. Kuroyama and Mr. Kawashima left in their pajamas.”
"As for their wives, they didn't notice them leaving.”Officer Sato reported.
"How did this happen? Did they leave on their own?”Maori Kogoro was confused.
People who slept in the same bed did not even feel the person beside them leaving.
Then it could only be that he left by himself.
However, it didn't feel normal to leave in pajamas.
"Not necessarily. It was also possible that the criminals had used drugs like knockout powder in advance, so they could kidnap her without anyone noticing.”Officer Megamu said.
This kind of thing had happened before.
"Officer, I'm just a fisherman. I don't know anything about medicine.”Masato Shimizu looked helpless.
It was too difficult for him.
While Officer Megure and Maori Kogoro were questioning Masato Shimizu, Conan ran to the only old policeman on the island.
The old policeman was very old and should be very familiar with the island.
"Officer, did Mr. Aso really set fire to his family?”Conan asked curiously.
In Conan's opinion, today's murder was not an independent case.
It should be closely related to the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama, who died three years ago, and Aso Keiji, who died twelve years ago.
Therefore, he had to start from the source.
"Because four witnesses saw it.”the old patrolman said.
"Who are they?"
"Let me think. The previous village chief, Mr. Kameyama, the village chief of Heiyan Village, Mr. Kawashima, and Mr. Nishimoto.”The old inspector thought for a moment and said.
Upon hearing these familiar names, he thought to himself that it was indeed the case!
Other than the current village chief's secretary, Kazuaki Hirata, everyone else was related to Keiji Asami!
"What's the relationship between the four of them?”Conan continued to ask.
"Including Mr. Aso. The five of them grew up together.”The old patrolman recalled.
"Oh? Then what about the village chief's secretary, that person called Hirata?”Conan asked again.
"That man is a coward. But I often see him and Kawashima sneaking around at the Citizen Hall.”the old patrolman said.
"How is Mister Qingshui?"
"He has a strong sense of justice and is loved by the other fishermen.”
Conan asked the old patrol a lot of questions.
He had obtained many important clues.
The most important thing was the relationship between Aso Keiji, who died twelve years ago, and the other four.
Connecting all the cases together.
This was most likely revenge!
Twelve years ago, Aso Keiji didn't set fire to his family, but was murdered.
And the murderer was probably the thought witness at that time.
The previous village chief, Kameyama Isamu, the current village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, the capitalist, Kawashima Hideo, and the last one, Nishimoto Ken.
Three years ago, the murderer killed Guishang Yong.
Three years later, the murderer continued to kill the village chief, Kawashima, and Nishimoto at the same time.
The murderer must have something to do with Aso Keiji, who died twelve years ago!
It could be a relative or a very good friend.
The village chief's secretary, Kazuaki Hirata, could it be him?
However, everything was just his deduction. There was no evidence at all.
This gave Conan a headache.
If Kazuaki had other hidden identities…
"Officer, does Aso Keiji have any particularly good friends? Or perhaps, other than his daughter, did he have a son?”Conan suddenly asked.
This was because Hirata and Akira were in their thirties, while Aso Keiji and the village chief were in their fifties.
Kazuaki Hirata might be Aso Keiji's son.
In order to avenge his family, he went undercover beside the village chief and investigated the truth of what happened back then.
Then, he would kill all the murderers who had killed his entire family back then.
After doing all this, he fled alone.
This was very possible!
"Now that you mention it, I remember that Mr. Aso does have a son other than a daughter.”
"When I was young, I got a serious illness, so I've been staying in the hospital. His name should be…Cheng Shi.”The old patrolman recalled.
"Cheng Shi? Wait…could it be!" Conan was shocked.
This was different from his deduction!
How could it be Cheng Shi?
Shouldn't it be Hirata?!
"Officer Mu Mu! He found it! We found Hirata Kazuaki!" Officer Takagi ran in.
