Chapter 113 Going further than Kudo

After watching Miyano Yukari and Yamashita Makoto leave, Kudo Shinichi returned to Takagi Wataru and asked about Sawada Osamu.

"Sure enough, you have stolen before, right?"

In this regard, Sawada Haru could not deny it and admitted that he had visited Miyano Katsuyo's house before and stole the black underwear hanging on the balcony.

Moreover, he also revealed that he was once caught in the act by his caregiver, Makoto Yamashita, but he was eventually let go because of Yukari Miyano's persuasion.

"It's unbelievable!"

After listening to his confession, Mao Lilan couldn't help but be surprised that Ms. Miyano Yukari would let him go. Then she looked at Sato Miwako who had just come over and said, "What do you think, Officer Sato?"

"Okay, everyone is different!"

Miwako Sato said.

After asking these questions, Kudo Shinichi thanked Sawada Haru and finally understood what happened.

"Wait a minute, Kudo, what is going on?"

Miwako Sato asked.

"Sawada is actually a habitual criminal who steals underwear."

Kudo Shinichi said.

"So he's a murderer?"

Takagi Wataru still didn't understand. He pointed at Sawadaji and asked Kudo Shinichi for confirmation.

"In a sense, yes."

Kudo Shinichi did not deny this.

"Wait a minute, Shinichi, please explain!"

Mao Lilan was also puzzled and stepped forward to ask.

"No matter what, Sawada will be arrested!"

Kudo Shinichi asked Takagi Wataru.

"yes!"

Now that there is so much evidence and information, Takagi Wataru also knows that the person in front of him is not a first-time offender as he initially judged, but a veteran who has been doing this for many years. What's more, this time there is physical evidence of stealing and a crazy person. The witness of the behavior is there, so it is impossible to let it go easily no matter what.

"But the difference between killing someone and being a crazy person..."

Takagi Wataru gestured in a somewhat unacceptable manner, but was given a sharp look by Mao Lilan.

"Explain it well, Kudo!"

Miwako Sato said.

"Then, call the hospital. Is it okay to ask about Miyano's mother?"

Kudo Shinichi thought for a while and said.

"Does this have anything to do with this?"

Sato Miwako said puzzledly.

"There is only one truth. I wonder if only the truth means justice? If I can't understand this, I can't say it."

A little sad and a little confused, Kudo Shinichi said this.

Sato Miwako did not continue talking, but made a call and asked about the hospital where Miyano Katsuyo was sent - Rice Flower General Hospital.

So, everyone was preparing to go to Mihua General Hospital together, but suddenly, Gao Yuan stopped Gao Mushe.

"Officer Takagi, there is something I want you to investigate."

Faced with Gao Yuan's request, Takagi Wataru glanced at Sawada Haru, who was being held by him, and was a little tangled. However, after Gao Yuan's repeated requests, he finally handed over Sawada Haru to other police officers at the scene and agreed to Gao Yuan's request.

Come to Mihua General Hospital.

Outside the emergency room, Miyano Yukari and Yamashita Makoto were standing outside. Miyano Yukari was waiting for the results in the emergency room with a worried look.

At this time, a doctor stopped Miyano Yukari from behind and asked her to take a step to speak.

Perhaps to explain Miyano Katsushiro's condition, Miyano Yukari followed him without much thought. However, this trip was not to go to the doctor's office, but to bring Miyano Yukari to Kudo Shinichi.

At the same time, Gao Yuan, who did not come with Kudo Shinichi and the others, received a reply from Takagi Wataru and learned that the Miyano Katsushiro family's ventilator was purchased through the channel of Mihua General Hospital. Therefore, Gao Yuan Came here right after.

However, after arriving here, Gao Yuan originally planned to ask Takagi Wataru to follow him to conduct a more detailed investigation into the ventilator purchase records, but Takagi Wataru was called away by Sato Miwako. In desperation, Gao Yuan could only act on his own, but this Where to start?

"Yes, Detective Akechi, right?"

Just when Gao Yuan was at a loss what to do, a female voice suddenly stopped Gao Yuan.

Turning around, he saw a girl wearing the uniform of Didan High School, black-rimmed glasses, and short black hair with bangs, standing there, greeting Gao Yuan.

"It's me. Sorry, who are you?"

Slightly confused, Gao Yuan did not remember that he knew this female high school student.

"Don't you remember? I am Ayako Ninagawa."

Ayako Ninagawa said, "We have met in Nakagawa Moemei's case."

Ninagawa Ayako? The case of Moe Nakagawa!

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan remembered who this girl was. She was the girl who took him to the art club at that time. However, because her hair style had changed, she didn't recognize her for a moment - wait a minute, speaking of it, Ninagawa Ayako is rice flower. The daughter of the director of a general hospital!

"Oh! I remembered! It turned out to be you."

Gao Yuan said suddenly.

"Mr. Akechi, what's the reason for coming here?"

Ninagawa Ayako asked.

"Well, I'm investigating something related to Mihua General Hospital."

"What is it? If it's convenient, I might be able to help you!"

After Takato finished speaking, Ninagawa Ayako replied, "After the last incident, I haven't had the chance to thank you, Mr. Akechi."

"That's right, please!"

Gao Yuan said.

On the other side, seeing Kudo Shinichi standing there, Miyano Yukari understood and sighed.

"You already know everything, why don't you tell the police?"

"Because truth doesn't necessarily mean justice."

Kudo Shinichi said sadly, "Can you please tell me in detail what happened to the last respirator accident?"

So, Miyano Yukari began to explain what happened half a year ago——

It was a rainy night, and the surveillance camera outside the house was caught in the rain, causing a short circuit in the house and tripping. There was no power at home because the respirator had a faulty emergency battery and would stop working. Once it stopped, Ms. Katsushiro Miyano, who was unable to breathe on her own, would die, but fortunately, after contacting the power supply bureau, the power was quickly restored.

"The emergency battery failed and you didn't repair it?"

Kudo Shinichi asked.

"I've ordered it, but it hasn't arrived yet."

Miyano Yukari said helplessly.

"You have been taking care of your mother for a long time."

Kudo Shinichi asked.

"Because of a traffic accident."

Yukari Miyano said, "Seven years have passed."

"She must have gone through all kinds of hardships."

Kudo Shinichi said somewhat helplessly.

"My relationship with my mother is not very good. When my mother could still speak, she said: 'I am a burden, just marry anyone.'"

Speaking of this, Miyano Yukari paused and said with some self-deprecation.

"Even I have someone engaged to me, but I didn't choose him."

"Short circuit, tripped. This gave you a flash of inspiration."

Kudo Shinichi said, Miyano Yukari did not refute.

"Probably. If that incident hadn't happened, I wouldn't have done such a thing. That day, I suddenly had a terrible idea: If I just didn't have electricity, I could escape from this long care. Thoughts. But, this kind of thing..."

"But there's no way you can do that. Not until you meet that underwear thief."

Kudo Shinichi said, "I can't do it myself, but if I take advantage of that man's habits, I don't know when it will be, but one day, I may be able to help push that switch."

After a pause, Kudo Shinichi began to explain:

"Pull out the wire from the power supply of the camera, wrap the electrodes on both ends of the clothes drying rack, sandwich black underwear between the electrodes, and use the thread on the underwear to tie the wire pulled out from the camera. In this way, After the underwear is stolen, the clothes drying rack will be disconnected from the wires. Every day when you go home, you will check whether the black underwear is left there. As long as the man steals the underwear, your mother's life will be gone. ”

With that said, Kudo Shinichi mentioned what happened today.

"So, you should have gone home without knowing anything, but because the underwear was missing, you already understood everything - you killed your mother, that's what you thought at the time. And the one in Sawadaji's hands The burn marks were probably caused by the electric current when taking off the underwear.”

Speaking of this, Miyano Yukari shed tears involuntarily.

At this time, Mao Lilan came over and handed the photo of Miyano mother and daughter that Kudo Shinichi had taken out before to Kudo Shinichi.

"Shinichi, look at the back."

After taking the photo, Kudo Shinichi took a look at it and handed the photo to Miyano Yukari with some sadness.

"Have you read the words on the back of the photo?"

I saw it read: I was so happy that day. I will definitely get better. Let’s go together again, Yukari.

Seeing these words, Miyano Yukari finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I miss your mother and never gave up on living with you."

Kudo Shinichi said.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Forgive me! Mom, I'm sorry!"

Crying loudly, Miyano Yukari spoke hoarsely, looking very regretful.

Seeing this scene, Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran walked away knowingly, while Sato Miwako was standing on the side. Kudo Shinichi asked: "Where is the caregiver, Mr. Yamashita?"

"Actually, he made some mistakes when he was a student. In order to atone for his sins, he became a caregiver. It has nothing to do with this case."

Miwako Sato said.

"I'm going to turn myself in."

At this time, Miyano Yukari figured it out, stood up, walked to Sato Miwako, and said.

Kudo Shinichi could not deny this.

"That's good."

Kudo Shinichi finally came out of his previous confusion and happily looked at Miyano Yukari's choice.

"Sure enough, it is a sad incident."

Mao Lilan sighed.

"No, this incident has not been completely resolved yet!"

At this moment, Gao Yuan suddenly appeared in front of everyone and said solemnly. Then he looked at Kudo Shinichi - I'm sorry, Kudo-kun, this time I'm going further than you in reasoning!
