Tens of minutes later.
The police car and a certain detective who came here on the circular line arrived at the second floor of the apartment.
The eyes of Memu Police Department twitched as they looked at the primary school student who would rather run out of breath than miss the scene of a murder. After sighing silently, he turned to look at Xiaolin Chengzi:
"The deceased's name was Binsen Masato, 32 years old, and his occupation was a freelance writer...right?"
"Um……"
Xiaolin Chengzi nodded:
"We made an appointment to meet today because he said he wanted to interview the children..."
"Then when you came here, you saw this scene in front of you?"
The police department continues to check the contents of the alarm.
"Yes, yes..." Xiao Lin Chengzi felt a little uncomfortable and took a half step back. He looked around but still didn't see Ye Gengyi.
"Um?"
Mumu Shisan glanced at her with a frown and continued:
"Then when did the deceased request an interview from you?"
"The evening before yesterday, he went directly to the school office." Xiaolin Chengzi said.
"That is to say, he was still alive until the evening of the day before yesterday..."
Mumu Shisan held his chin with one hand and murmured:
"Living in an apartment like this, the murderer probably wasn't motivated by money. It seems to be a vendetta."
No, this summary of the time of death is still too general...
"Huchi, Huchi..."
Conan took a deep breath and hesitated slightly when his eyes glanced at Haiyuan Ai, but he didn't bother to think deeply and directly reminded:
"Teacher Xiao Lin, after yesterday's recess, you should have called back to Mr. Binson about our interview, right?"
"Um."
Xiaolin Chengzi took out his mobile phone and looked through the call records:
"Class started soon after you returned to the classroom, so I still have the impression that I probably called him after the third period...ah, it's 11:22 in the morning."
"So that's it, the murder happened after that..."
"Megure Police Department!"
At this time, Takagi Wataru came over holding a tripod:
"We found the murder weapon under the bed."
"Well... he was able to enter the room and beat people to death. There are no signs of the door lock being broken open. It seems that it was probably done by an acquaintance."
Mumu Shisan pondered for a moment:
"Since the deceased is a writer, let's narrow the scope of suspicion to those who have been interviewed by him."
"However, we cannot rule out whether the deceased wrote some hateful articles..."
Takagi Wataru scratched his head, a little confused:
"If there are articles that report on artists, if they offend movie fans, the scope is too large."
"No, there are only four suspects."
Conan came over, pointed to the phone on the table, and said:
"Look, the message button on this phone is lighting up."
"There seem to be 4 messages..."
Mumu Shisan was confused, "But even so, we can't be sure that the person making the call is the murderer?"
"Because if this was Mr. Sugimori being attacked, if he still had the consciousness to press the button after the murderer left, he would have directly picked up the phone and called the police, right?" Conan said.
"It makes sense..." Mumu Shisan nodded in agreement, and was about to continue asking when he heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the door.
"The blood on the message button was stained, but there were no corresponding marks on the deceased's fingers. If there was no third person destroying the scene, then the murderer most likely created an alibi through voice messages."
Ye Gengyi walked into the scene naturally holding a can of instant coffee:
"The police department visited the area, but unfortunately, no one witnessed the murder."
Conan: "..."
Wait a minute, why did Brother Gengyi suddenly appear again?
"Brother Gengyi..."
Mumu Shisan asked equally puzzled: "Why are you here?"
"Teacher Xiao Lin and the children were sent here by me," Ye Geng turned his head and looked at a certain Loli, "Xiao Ai, didn't you tell them that I was there too?"
"Because no one asked me." Hui Yuan Ai yawned.
These guys...
Conan half-moon eyes.
He also felt strange, why would Huiyuan appear here? He thought of the phone call he made to the doctor's house early in the morning after he was let go, to rent a car at the car rental agency?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻You must have clearly left yourself behind on purpose!
It’s true that the doctor actually cooperated with them in making such a silly joke!
He was still sulking here, completely unaware of Xiaolin Chengzi's surprised look.
the other side.
Compared with Conan's intrusion, Ye Gengyi's appearance made Mumu Shisan feel much more at ease.
"Brother Gengyi, since no witnesses have been found, let's listen to the recording together first."
"Ah, wait a minute!"
Takagi Wataru suddenly stopped Megure Thirteen who was about to press the play button:
"To be on the safe side, it's better to record while listening. This way you can listen to it several times. You don't have to worry if you accidentally delete it by pressing the wrong button."
"That's right," Megure Thirteen agreed: "Takagi, go and ask the people from the forensics department to bring over the recording equipment."
Watching a group of adults busy there.
Yuantai, who obviously had not sorted out the logical relationship between the message and the murderer, was inevitably a little confused.
Conan also saw that he didn't have much opportunity to express himself there, so he simply explained it again without being too verbose.
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi understood.
But the complicated expression in Teacher Xiaolin's gaze was obviously aggravated.
Haiyuan Ai glanced at a certain detective who didn't care about fighting, then pulled the other person's collar and dragged him out of the house.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Conan staggered to his feet, and before he could complain, he was locked with a cold gaze. He immediately changed his tone with a dry smile and said:
"What, what's wrong... Haiyuan?"
"Please restrain yourself a little!"
Haiyuan Ai stared:
"Although Brother Gengyi is here, you are destined to be useless, but there is no need to show off in front of the children, right? You must know that this is the first time Teacher Xiaolin has seen you reasoning."
"Haha, what do you mean it's useless!"
Conan squinted:
"Is this why you left me alone at the bus stop?"
"Ah...it would be better if you went back to the office angrily because we let you down."
Huiyuan Ai was unmoved and said:
"Do you dare to swear that you will never change back to Kudo Shinichi in your lifetime? Didn't you just show off on purpose because you saw Brother Sarada appear?"
Hey, this oath is too cruel...
Conan sweated.
However, he really didn't dare to swear. He coughed lightly and said softly:
"Okay, then what do you think I should do? I can't really discover the clue, but I have to hold it in, right?"
"What's so difficult about this? Don't you do this all the time?"
Haiyuan gave an example with a plaintive voice: "Like 'Ah,' 'Ouch,' 'Ouch,' and the like, pretending to be an idiot child..."
Bai, idiot... Is this the image I have in your minds on a daily basis?
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, not willing to agree.
"Anyway... you should know that if you always show a reasoning ability that is far beyond that of your peers, once more people know about it, the news will definitely reach the ears of the organization."
Huiyuan Ai said seriously:
"Speaking of which, when the famous detective Mouri Kogoro wasn't with you, Sarada-san helped you invisibly... No, he probably helped us get out of countless troubles. You don't want anyone around us either. People, will they be injured or even die for us?"
"Okay, I get it."
Conan quickly assured:
"Actually, I didn't plan to talk too much in today's interview, so there's no need for you to collude with the doctor and pretend you don't want to be interviewed, and then deliberately leave me alone, right?"
"With Doctor?" Haiyuan Ai was startled.
"Stop pretending, I already know it. This little trick is really not very clever..."
Conan's eyes were blank and he had an expression like 'I've seen it all':
"When the doctor called us this morning and told us to catch the sea tomorrow, I realized something was wrong..."
Hui Yuan Ai opened her mouth, but finally said nothing, and just continued to listen to his reasoning speechlessly.
"Whether it's the clothes you're going to wear to catch the sea or the equipment you need to pick up clams, if you don't want to come for the interview, you can wait until after noon and deliberately choose to call in the morning. Isn't it obvious that you want the children to go to the doctor's house to find you?"
Conan clicked his tongue twice and continued:
"Then you asked Brother Gengyi to rent a car. On the way, you only had to drive in the direction of the Didan Primary School bus station. You met the three of them by chance, and then you went to pick up Teacher Xiao Lin. Because the space in Brother Gengyi's car was limited, it was natural. That’s why I was left behind.”
"You...continue talking." Hui Yuan Ai silently held his forehead.
...Is there such a coincidence?
"What else can you say?"
Conan half-moon eye:
"Those people from the black organization showed up at the office and opened fire. I know you and the doctor did this for my own good, so I didn't bother to worry about anything..."
No, this matter has nothing to do with the Doctor. Brother Gengyi and I really just want to play tricks on you...
Our original plan was to come here to see the freelance writer and make sure that he would not take the opportunity to be careless about Teacher Xiaolin. Then I would refuse the interview and let Gengyi take me to the car rental agency to rent a car...
Hui Yuan Ai cursed a few words in his heart, reached out and patted his shoulder, sighed longly, and said:
"as long as you are happy."
Conan: "???"
