The screenwriter Tetsuo Chiishi died in his room. He collapsed facing the tatami. The cause of death was that he was hit on the back of the head by a vase. There was a broken vase left at the scene.
After the on-site inspection, no traces of resistance were found. If a stranger sneaked in, there would be no traces of resistance. After all, Chiaishi is also a burly man. If you want to kill him with one blow, it is only possible for an acquaintance to take advantage of him. Therefore, the police ruled out the possibility of outsiders sneaking in to commit the crime, and then locked the suspects on other members of the tour group, except of course Xiao Hui.
But according to the detective team and these members, all the members were rehearsing a new show on the stage at that time.
After confirming that there was no secret passage, the police came to the stage.
"I have a question. When we were rehearsing the show, were we always on the stage? Has anyone ever left the stage? I mean more than three minutes." Sora Hoshino walked around the stage, and at the same time Based on the route from the stage to Jinshi's room, he guessed that the murderer took advantage of the break in stage rehearsals to commit the murder.
"Only three people actually left the stage for more than three minutes, namely Mr. Muraki, Ms. Shirai and Mr. Tajima." Haibara said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone focused their attention on these three people.
"Is that like this?" Officer Megure asked as he glanced at the three of them.
"That's true, but... that's because our troupe has a small number of people, so we have to play two roles. We are going to change costumes!" Ryuichi Muraki explained loudly.
Tajima Kenzo and Shirai Yuri nodded repeatedly.
"You are playing two roles because of your agility as stuntmen, right?" Sora Hoshino asked.
"Yes, we are agile and can change clothes quickly without delaying the performance of the show." Ryuichi Muraki replied.
"Agile?" Officer Memu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Then you can take advantage of the time to change clothes and kill the person! After all, the dressing room for changing clothes is next to the deceased's room, and you are stuntmen. He is stronger than ordinary people in terms of strength and skills. It is not difficult to kill him with one blow when he has a deliberate plan and the deceased is unprepared!"
Hoshino Sora nodded, "Indeed."
"How is that possible!" Ryuichi Muraki retorted immediately, "How can we have time? Take me as an example. After I left the stage, I had to go on stage soon, so I had to change my clothes while running, and then pass Naraku's mechanism is up, and Xiao Hui, who prepares my costumes next to the stage, knows this best."
Xiao Hui affirmed: "Well, I gave the clothes to Mr. Muraki."
"Besides, it takes one minute and forty seconds to come up from Naraku. Do you think I can change clothes, run to Mr. Chiashiki's room to kill people, and then come up through Naraku?" Ryuichi Muraki shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Officer Megu said hesitantly: "But we don't know how long you have been gone..."
"Officer, you can actually roughly deduce it from the script." Tamanosuke was a little distracted, but Ogiwara Itie spoke up at the critical moment.
"Oh, that's great!" Officer Megure was overjoyed, and then he analyzed it with the theater troupe and began to figure out the time for everyone to leave the stage.
Hoshino Sora asked Takagi to test how long it would take a normal person to run back and forth, and Takagi handed over this glorious task to Brother Chiba, who was responsible for timing.
Chiba reluctantly accepted it and ran back and forth.
"Police Department, Chiba just tested it and it took more than four minutes to run from the stage to Mr. Chiashii's room and back again. Therefore, it should be possible to exclude those who took less than four minutes." Takagi saw Chiba rushing back out of breath. Ye, report immediately.
"Four minutes? Officer Chiba, did you not run at full strength? Or are you hungry?" Hoshino Sora couldn't believe this result.
A detective's physique shouldn't be this bad.
"I tried my best, but in order to ensure the credibility of the data, I think we should let Brother Takagi make a trip." Chiba took a breath and looked at Takagi, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
The corner of Takagi's mouth began to twitch, you Chiba, you treat your senior like this!
"Brother Takagi, you should also test it." Officer Megure said.
Takagi glared at Chiba fiercely, "Have you started yet?"
"Well, let's start!" Chiba looked at his watch and gave the order, and Takagi rushed out.
Finally, Takagi ran back at four minutes and a few seconds.
At this time, the time for everyone on the stage to leave has been roughly estimated.
Officer Megure looked at the timetable and nodded: "As expected, there were only three people who had time to commit the crime, but Mr. Muraki said it would take one minute and forty seconds to get up from Naraku. If this time is deducted, then he only left Three minutes is not enough time to commit murder."
Muraki Ryuichi breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could relax completely, Officer Megure said again, "We have to test Naraku's lifting speed."
"No problem!" Ryuichi Muraki took out a remote control, "It can be controlled remotely. I will stand up now and you can time it."
"Chiba, go ahead." Officer Megure said.
"Yes." Chiba came to Naraku's position and began to conduct the test. The results were similar to what Ryuichi Muraki said. The up and down time was about one minute and forty seconds.
Therefore, the current suspects have been narrowed down from three to two. One man and one woman, the male is Tajima Kenzo and the female is Shirai Yuri.
It stands to reason that when things have progressed to this point, they are already approaching the truth, but precisely because they are approaching the truth, they encounter great resistance.
Both Tajima and Shirai said that they did not kill anyone and were just changing their clothes normally. Even if Sora Hoshino felt that there was a 99% chance that Tajima was the murderer, they could not catch him.
I need evidence!
"The USB flash drive, there is a USB flash drive missing from Mr. Chiashii's room, where he keeps the script manuscripts." In such a deadlock, Conan, who had been fussing for a long time, finally got a chance to speak.
It’s not easy!
"U disk?" Officer Mu Mu thought of the mess at the crime scene and suddenly realized, "So that's it. Is the murderer's target the USB disk? Find it immediately!"
After a group of police officers searched carefully, they finally found a crushed USB flash drive in a corner.
"It's broken. It's such a pity. Otherwise, we could know the contents of the USB flash drive, and maybe we could know why the murderer took it away and destroyed it." Officer Megure sighed with regret.
"Wait a minute!" Hoshino Sora saw the broken USB flash drive, but he moved closer. Through the evidence bag, he looked at the USB flash drive with deformed metal and cracked plastic shell. He grinned, "Officer Memu, This USB flash drive may still be repairable.”
"Really?" Officer Mumu had the feeling of "there is no way out but there is no way out, and there is a bright future in another village." It was a surprise, a big surprise.
"Well, I'll take a photo and ask Dr. Ali." Hoshino Sora said with a smile.
