While everyone was pondering the code, Chiba discovered that there were suspicious call records in the mobile phone of the deceased Nakajo Katsunori. He immediately reported to Officer Megure, "Police Department, the deceased was still talking on the phone half an hour ago. At that time, it happened to be …”
Officer Megure reacted immediately and said in shock: "That was the time when he was killed!"
Takagi's mind was spinning rapidly and he blurted out, "Could it be that the murderer was calling him to distract him while committing another murder..."
"Officer Chiba, call back!" Hoshino Sora immediately shouted.
Chiba nodded and immediately called back.
Among the onlookers, a middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this. He quickly took out his mobile phone and wanted to turn it off. However, at this time, his mobile phone rang.
He was so startled that he couldn't hold the phone steady and almost dropped it. Because of this, it took him a few seconds to hang up the phone, which could have been turned off quickly. When he was about to press and hold, he saw that A hand grabbed his wrist holding the phone.
"Uncle, it's a coincidence that he opened the door for a coincidence. It's a coincidence, don't you think?" Hoshino Sora grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist and looked at him condescendingly, with a playful smile on his face.
"Ah, what are you doing? It hurts so much, let go!" The middle-aged man cried out in pain and tried to open Hoshino Sora's hand.
"Are you the one who called the deceased thirty minutes ago?" Officer Megure had already come to his side and asked seriously.
Hoshino Sora let go of his hand, but the middle-aged man couldn't be happy. He rubbed his wrists, hesitating and panicking, "I, I'm not, I didn't..."
"Officer Megure, I have met him. Before the power outage, this guy paid three or four times the price. I suspected that he was hiring a killer, but I didn't expect that he was calling the deceased..." Hoshino Sora added , "However, although he was next to us at the time, if he distracted the deceased by making phone calls and provided convenience for the killer..."
Hearing this, Officer Memu's eyes narrowed, and he shouted to the middle-aged man and asked, "What's going on?"
The middle-aged man was intimidated by his powerful aura. He opened his mouth to say something and deny it, but in the end he couldn't stand the intimidating gaze and begged for mercy: "I will tell you everything...it's just, police officer, Can you change the location...This involves company secrets..."
Officer Megu glanced around and saw the crowds of people watching, then nodded.
"Then let's go to the cold drink shop where he stayed just now. It just so happened that I hadn't paid yet when I came out, so I paid the money by the way." Hoshino Sora said.
"No, I've already paid the money." Yuanzi said, "Oh, if you want to order more, then pay for it yourself!"
"Okay, if you still want some later, I'll invite you." Hoshino Sora patted his chest and said with a smile.
So, after Officer Megure ordered Chiba to lead people to search, he took Takagi and Hoshino Sora to the cold drink shop on the fourth floor.
Hoshino Sora and others returned to their original seats and looked at the table next to each other, listening to Officer Megure's questions and the middle-aged man's confession.
The middle-aged man's name is Laisheng Fanjiu. He is 50 years old and is the general affairs director of a company in this building. The reason why he called the deceased was because he hired the deceased.
According to him, an employee in their company embezzled public funds last month. His boss wanted to find the suspect before the company president knew about it, and he took over this chore from his boss.
Everything was going smoothly, and the suspect who had embezzled public funds had been identified, and they arranged to meet here today to pay and deliver the goods. However, at this critical moment, the investigating detective was stabbed to death.
"So, the person who embezzled public funds in your company is most likely the murderer! According to witnesses, after the murder, the murderer deliberately took out documents from the deceased's document bag! In addition, when you talked to the deceased on the phone earlier, , it was said that there was a strange person beside him, right? That must be the murderer, and the murderer also found the deceased!" Hoshino Sora took a big bite of the sundae, and it slid into the esophagus as smoothly as silk, and then he was in high spirits said.
"Well, the stolen documents should contain information about the suspect who embezzled public funds... Now the murderer has probably returned to the company upstairs!" Officer Megure nodded, and then asked, "Where is your company?" building?"
"Floors 8 to 11." Fan Jiu from the next life replied.
"Do you have any clues about the suspect who embezzled public funds?" Hoshino Sora asked, "If you do, you can quickly identify him."
"Yes, there is, but..." Fan Jiu said hesitantly in the next life.
"Just tell me if you have it. Do you still want to hide it?" Officer Memu said seriously.
"Yes..." Fan Jiu immediately opened the briefcase he carried with him in the next life, found a document bag from it, took out a list of names, and put it on the table, "This is what the detective gave me last week. After he gave me the list of suspects, he said that it was energy-consuming and time-consuming. The money I gave could only get me to this point. If I wanted to continue the investigation, I would have to pay more..."
"Hiss~" Officer Memu looked at the dense list and couldn't help but gasped, "How many people are there here?"
He could accept one of three, four, or five choices, but this... was just better than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Fifty-eight people." Fan Jiu said helplessly in the next life.
At this time, Xiao Mi reminded: "Circle, cross, triangle, could the pre-death message left by the deceased be the name of the murderer?"
"That's right. If a person is about to die, he definitely doesn't want to play guessing games with us. He just writes down the murderer's name. This is an instinctive reaction. After all, he has investigated the evidence that the murderer embezzled public funds." Hoshino Sora confirmed the little one. Buried speculation.
"Hmm..." Officer Memu was stunned, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but frown, "A circle and a triangle... This is really difficult to associate with a person's name..."
"X?" Xiaolan exclaimed, "Could this X be the same X? That cute mark..."
"Xiaolan, do you know?" Officer Memu asked quickly.
"No, no, no!" Yuanzi made an 'X' shape with her hands, shook her head and smiled, "Absolutely not, it's impossible~"
"Student Maori, you are overthinking, it can't be used here!" Judy also smiled and shook her head.
Xiaolan was full of doubts, so what does it mean?
Takagi, who was often teased by Yumi, immediately understood. He also shook his head and said in a dumbfounded way: "If it's the one you girls use, then it's really not the one."
When Officer Memu was confused by their words, Xiaomi borrowed a notebook and pen from Conan and started writing on the table.
Xingye Kong came to her side and asked curiously: "Xiao Mi, have you already cracked it?"
Hearing this, Conan also moved forward curiously.
While transforming the circle, cross and triangle, Xiao Mi said: "Not yet... However, I am thinking that when a person is on the verge of death and writes with his last breath, he will definitely not be able to write as neatly as usual... …”
"That's right. Before he dies, he wants to finish writing his name as much as possible. He needs to write it fast, and writing fast will inevitably make the text sloppy. In this way, the so-called circle, cross and triangle actually means Text!" Hoshino Sora's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly, "Officer Megure, show me the list. We can lock the names of three characters, because there are only three symbols!"
