Hey hey! Are you listening to me?
Conan sweated and hurriedly explained:
"I mean, Brother Heiji will definitely not want you to let him! Besides, if you do that, Brother Heiji will definitely be very angry when he finds out, right?"
"That's right..." Mao Lilan hesitated.
"Wouldn't it be better not to let him know?" Ye Geng paused and asked, "Or are you planning to tell Heiji?"
This... Conan's expression suddenly froze, and he forced a smile and said: "I... I just don't think that is a good thing to do..."
"Oh? You do it? Okay."
Ye Geng nodded, picked up the primary school student, and called Mao Lilan to walk out of the office.
Eh? ? ?
Wait a minute...Conan's head is full of questions.
Did you mean that?
…
the other side.
After Hattori Heiji learned that the deceased President Tsujitani actually had a hobby of collecting idol peripherals, he had an idea and prepared to use this as an entry point. He also asked the four suspects if they had similar interests.
The result was not beyond his expectation.
Nao, a middle-aged woman, has collected a total of 50 pairs of gloves because her hands are afraid of the cold, and she takes 3 pairs with her every time she goes fishing.
Jun Hasami, a tall and slender man who likes watching movies, has collected a total of 30 pairs of sunglasses. It is said that they are all limited editions worn by famous actors or celebrities.
A lucky man who loves betting on horse racing has collected about 40 hats. He will choose different hats to wear according to the race schedule, saying that they can bring him good luck in gambling.
Vice President Yan Fuso, who likes to play golf, has purchased more than 30 pairs of brand-name golf shoes. Because each pair is valuable, he takes them out for maintenance every week.
In addition, these four people did not have any motive for committing the crime as imagined.
For example, a middle-aged woman who claims to be living well with her current husband often has troubles with her ex-husband over alimony issues;
Hasami Jun from the sales department has seen a decline in the company's revenue this year due to his poor work ability, as has Nakazaki Koio from the planning department. Both of them are at risk of being fired because they cannot design good games.
Although Vice President Yan Fuchuang has never had a dispute with the president, if the president dies, he can inherit the company...
Therefore, we can only start with their alibi.
Hattori Heiji made up his mind and was about to let the police investigate. When he glanced at the main office inadvertently, he was shocked to find that Ye Gengyi, Kudo and Mao Lilan were all missing...
what's the situation?
Before he could wonder for long, the next second, at the main entrance of the murder scene, a primary school student walked over with a paper tube in his hand and an embarrassed face.
"Where have you been, Kudo?"
Hattori Heiji leaned over and whispered: "I just got some clues, and there are indeed problems with all of them... Why do you look at me like that? You obviously couldn't escape on your own. By the way, where is Sarada-san? You Have you seen him?"
"He was thirsty and went to the coffee shop opposite to buy a drink. Xiaolan said he would also bring us something to drink..."
Conan sighed silently and handed over the paper tube in his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about him first, now, here is this for you..."
"Huh? What?"
Hattori Heiji subconsciously took it and after unfolding it, he discovered that it was exactly the calendar marked June:
"Hey...you found it!"
"Ah, I guess. I found it in President Tsujiya's bedroom."
Conan responded vaguely, then pointed to the upper right corner of the calendar page and said, "You see, although it is very light here, it is indeed blood stains, right?"
"That's right!"
Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up, "I see. No wonder the blood stains on the shoulders of that suit jacket were wiped off by something. I'm afraid that's the only person at this height...Eh? Wait a minute."
The black man was suddenly startled, and stared at the detective with his half-moon eyes, "You found this calendar, and then Brother Gengyi and the others went to buy drinks. Isn't it a coincidence?"
I almost had 'unhappiness' written all over my face, but you only found out now...
Conan naturally didn't want to be the only one depressed. Seeing that the black man was very 'acute' in noticing the problem, he immediately felt much more relaxed and said:
"Yes, the clue was discovered by Brother Geng. After you asked the question about the calendar, he called me and Xiaolan to the corridor and said that the murderer was Hasami Jun."
"That's wrong!" Hattori Heiji reacted, "Kudo, are you saying that before you found this calendar, Saraichi-san knew who the murderer was?"
"yes……"
Conan nodded and his face became embarrassed again.
This is what he couldn't figure out. Just as Hattori Heiji wondered, if Ye Gengyi found this calendar in President Tsujiya's bedroom and judged the height of the perpetrator through the position of the blood stains, he could infer Hasami. If Chun is the murderer, then everything is completely logical...
But now?
The process is completely reversed, right?
Of course, this does not mean that the method of first identifying the suspect and then finding physical evidence is so magical. After all, in many cases, they have finally successfully solved the entire case based on an unreasonable confession from the suspect...
But did those suspects just say anything suspicious?
The two of them have been listening in all the time!
Does this mean that Hasami Jun is the murderer?
Why?
In the end what happened?
So, not only did they lose the experience of reasoning, but they were also deprived of the process of participating together?
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other...with helpless expressions.
The first person to see through the trick went to buy coffee, but the case still had to be solved. Hattori Heiji could only sigh, adjust his emotions and start reasoning.
It is pointed out that on the day of the 29th, Hasami Jun first stole Iwatomi's shoes, then hid in the office, knocked out the president with a golf club, and tied him under the table. Because of the height difference, The president could only see Yan Fuso's shoes, so he misjudged who the murderer was who attacked him.
Hattori Heiji said:
"You deliberately knocked over the ink and used a camera to monitor the other person's every move. After the president left a message before his death, you killed him directly. The blood stains on the calendar were also accidentally touched by you in panic after the murder. Bar……
And Mr. Iwatomi’s shoes, because each pair is valuable and he takes special care of them, you can’t just throw away these two kinds of physical evidence...
By the way, in order to prevent your stealing shoes from being discovered by Mr. Iwatomi in advance, you must have chosen a pair that he does not often wear. Although it is a bit troublesome to extract the traces on them, the police still have ways...
How about it? Hasami-san? Having said that this is a serious matter, I advise you to plead guilty directly! "
