Convenience store near the level crossing.
Ye Gengyi went out after buying coffee and saw Haiyuan Ai standing on the roadside waiting for him with his arms folded across his chest.
He walked over and asked:
"hungry?"
"No……"
Hui Yuan Ai looked up at Ye Gengyi:
"Not long after you came downstairs, the children discovered that there was something wrong with the train's announcement in the second message. It seemed to only say 'please when you get off the train'. Normally they would say 'please watch your feet when you get off the train. '...Then Officer Takagi immediately called the station for confirmation. When he heard that the conductor was sneezing non-stop due to hay fever and was unable to finish the announcement, Edogawa's whole expression changed."
She paused, her eyes obviously a little more urging, but her tone was still nonchalant:
"If you keep dawdling like this, he will beat you to it."
So...you don't want me to lose in reasoning, are you being arrogant?
Ye Geng understood, opened the can and took a sip of coffee:
"It's okay. There just aren't enough seats in the car. It would be best if the little detective can take your class teacher to do the reasoning together. Afterwards, they will go to the police station to make notes, and the two of us will rent a car."
Haibara Ai:"……"
I almost forgot that when it comes to handling cases, Sarada and Edogawa are not the same kind of people at all.
"besides……"
Ye Gengyi continued:
"You'd better go back and remind the little detective to be careful. He's letting himself go a little bit now."
"Don't worry, I've already reminded you... Huh? You mean now?"
Huiyuan Ai was startled and said in confusion:
"how do you know?"
"I left a bug in the room."
Ye Gengyi pointed to his ears:
"The young detective is now chatting eloquently with the Megure Police Department about the alibi of the two people who left the messages: Haruka Honda who made the first call and Toshiori Higaki who made the second call."
That stupid detective! I started to get carried away again...
Haiyuan was sad, ran out for two steps and suddenly realized what he was doing, turned around and asked:
"So you already knew that the murderer was Atsushi Inaba?"
"Well, before you come down and buy coffee."
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly:
"I found the transaction records of the two people from the deceased's mobile phone mailbox. Inaba Atsushi's motive for killing Sugimori Masato was a report a year ago about the corruption and bribery of political officials. They disagreed, one for money and the other for fame. And then it became like this…”
oh! It was that time...
Haiyuan Ai recalled that at the murder scene, Ye Gengyi did say something to the forensic officer, but most of her attention at that time was focused on a certain detective who was always letting himself go, and she could not see clearly. What exactly did Ye Gengyi do?
It turns out that Brother Gengyi has already solved the case...
Hui Yuan Ai ran towards the murder scene in a good mood.
…
"After the murderer killed Mr. Shansen, he deliberately changed the phone in the room to answer message mode, and also recorded his own message in it as proof of alibi. Therefore, by excluding the three-way messages, he can Find the most suspicious person... Ouch..."
The second floor of the apartment.
Conan was talking eloquently about the connection between hay fever and the case when he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his foot. He looked sideways and saw Haihara Ai using a pair of half-moon eyes to signal him to look behind.
Oops, oops...
Conan sweated and continued to turn his head, and sure enough, he saw Xiaolin Chengzi staring here intently.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he quickly explained cutely to Memu Shisan, who was still waiting for the next sentence:
"Of course... that's what I said, but I'm just a kid, so my analysis may be wrong, hehe, hehehe..."
"Oh...that's right."
Mumu Shisan sighed:
"It's better to call those three people over first."
"Don't go to so much trouble. The only thing that doesn't have a clear alibi is..."
"Ahem! Edogawa, come here."
Haiyuan Ai interrupted Conan's reasoning with a cough, grabbed the other person's arm, dragged him out of the room, and said in a deep voice:
"Hey! Does your brain only have 7 seconds of memory?"
"Idiot, you know it's impossible..."
Conan pouted:
"Although I already know who the murderer is, I haven't found any evidence yet. Naturally, the top priority is not to let the murderer think that the plan to use the phone message to create an alibi was successful."
"Eh?" Hui Yuan Ai was confused: "Have you not found any evidence yet?"
What's going on with this tone? Could it be that Gengyi brother... knows about it again?
Conan's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but ask:
"You just ran out to find Brother Gengyi. Could it be that he has already..."
"That's right," Haibara Ai nodded: "As you thought, he not only deduced that the murderer was the editor named Atsushi Inaba, but also found conclusive evidence at the scene..."
"What? At the scene?!" Conan was surprised.
"Yeah, that's it..."
"Wait a minute! Don't say anything yet!"
Conan became anxious and yelled loudly, which shocked Haiyuan Ai and also yelled at Xiao Lin Chengzi and the three children.
"What's wrong, Conan, are you arguing with Haiyuan?" Yuantai came over to watch.
"No, how can we quarrel?"
Xiaolin Chengzi quickly separated the two.
"No, no."
Conan sweated and realized that he was indeed too loud just now, so he made up nonsense:
"Haiyuan is playing a guessing game with me..."
"Guess, guess a riddle?" Xiaolin Chengzi's eyes were peachy.
How big are the hearts of these children? It’s okay if you’re not scared when you see a dead body, but you’re actually playing guessing games at a murder scene?
"So... what is the mystery?" Mitsuhiko came over with a curious look on his face.
"Yes, Edogawa, you have to think carefully before speaking." Haibara Ai said with half-moon eyes.
"Ahem...that's it..."
Facing everyone's gazes, Conan smiled dryly and took half a step back. His brain was working rapidly, thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, an idea came to him. He smiled at Teacher Xiaolin and said, "Next is our little one." After "Children's Time", he directly pushed Haibara, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, and Genta went to the other side to whisper.
"Conan, what are you going to do?" The three little heads were confused.
"Of course, our young detective team worked together to find out the murderer!" Conan clenched his fists and spoke with the tone of a passionate young man.
"Young Detective Team..."
"work together……"
"Find the murderer!"
"hehe……"
"That's right!"
Conan ignored Haihara Ai's disapproving behavior. Although he knew that he looked particularly embarrassed now, in order to get away from everyone's attention and go to the scene to find evidence, he could only bite the bullet and said:
"Don't you think it's strange? First of all, it's the Toto Loop Line. It takes at least 30 minutes to get here from Ousui Station, whether inside or outside the circle. If Mr. Higaki is the murderer, then he only needs You need to record the broadcast in the car in advance, and then use the tape recorder to play the sound after killing someone."
"Eh? That's right..."
The three villains were fooled, completely unaware of the flaws in their reasoning.
...The conductor who suffered from hay fever left the train after 11 o'clock, and Hinoki Higaki left a message at 11:27. He wanted to record the train's announcement at Okuho Station, which is more than 30 minutes away from the crime scene. , it would be impossible to rush here to commit murder.
However, what Conan wants is to confirm the effect of Higaki Toshino's alibi, so naturally it is impossible to explain anything.
Then he followed suit and continued:
"Then there is the sound of the TV in Miss Pengtian's message. As long as you use the TV at the crime scene and turn on the answering machine after the murder, you can pretend that you are calling from somewhere else. Normal people will not think that after the murder, I would watch TV leisurely at the murder scene.”
"I see, so the alibi of both of them may be false!" The three little heads continued to wonder.
No, only the alibi of the two of them is true...
Conan cursed in his heart:
The time when Pengtian Qinghua left the message was 11:25, and starting from 11:24, there would be a "dang-dang-dang" sound coming from the level crossing.
If Hedata Qinghua is the murderer, even if she can take advantage of Masato Sugimori's unpreparedness to commit the murder within three minutes after arriving here, and then press the button on the answering machine to create an alibi, there is no way she can call that person within the stipulated time. Make phone call.
Conan deliberately concealed the truth. After explaining this to the three little figures, he quietly asked Haibara Ai to help supplement the children's analysis when there was a lag.
He sneaked into the scene and began to look for conclusive evidence of Atsushi Inaba's murder!
