Chapter 0567 The curtain call of a famous actor
Monday, March 23, afternoon, in the lobby on the first floor of the building where Kozaburo Hijikata's house is located.
Listening to Kozaburo Hijikata's words, Conan smiled in a Maori voice: "It seems that Mr. Hijikata you haven't realized yet, the police department, please write down the fact that the door of the Hijikata house on the sixth floor is not closed, this is important evidence." β
"Evidence?" asked the Dusk Police Department, "what does this prove?"
Conan said in a Maori voice, "It is proved that the time of death of Lady Yumi Nagakura was before two o'clock in the afternoon, and if I am right, it should be around one fifty-four o'clock." β
The Twilight Police Department asked, "How do you know that?"
Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Ran, do you remember what Lady Yumi said when she left?"
"Well," Ran said, "she said there was something upstairs. β
The Twilight Police Department hurriedly asked Officer Takagi what was unusual in his room.
"Nothing out of the ordinary," Officer Takagi said, "just half a glass of alcoholic beverages using straws in the bedroom, and some snacks, and it looks like someone was watching TV here before." Well, there is lipstick on the straw, and this person should be Ms. Yumi. β
"So Ms. Yumi just didn't want to stay there with me, the detective who was hired by her husband to be a teacher, and Ms. Yumi just came to see and watch her TV soon, so she didn't even close the door," Conan said in a Maori voice, "It's like going out to get a newspaper, I don't think anyone will close the door." β
"That's a good point. The Dusk Police Department said.
"But Mr. Hijikata, Ms. Yumi, and Mr. Okita will have a meeting at Mr. Okita's house at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I don't think the time of this meeting is certain. Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Excuse me, if Ms. Yumi had gone home and gone out of her house for this meeting, why didn't she close the door?"
The Twilight Police Department said, "If that's ......?"
Kozaburo Hijikata smiled strongly: "This must be Yumi forgot to close it." β
"If it's an ordinary person, if it's a newcomer to the entertainment industry, it's still in the past, but for a veteran star, forget about closing the door, you say," Conan asked rhetorically in a Maori voice, "Mr. Kozaburo Hijikata, do you believe it yourself?"
Kozaburo Hijikata said, "Occasionally, occasionally, there are some. β
"Is it an occasional act for you to kill someone?" Conan asked in a Maori voice, and then said, "I think this is how it happened, Mr. Hijikata and Ms. Yumi invited us into the living room, and after leading the door out, Ms. Yumi went to the entrance to put on her shoes and go home, when she was attacked by Mr. Hijikata with a handkerchief coated with drugs. β
"It's a joke, do you want to have a handkerchief coated with drugs?" said Kozaburo Hijikata with a smile, "You've watched too many detective dramas." β
"That's a good point. The Dusk Police Department said.
"This is something that Mr. Hijikata prepared early in the morning. Conan said in a Maori voice, "Mr. Hijikata actually prepared another murder plan, but the plan didn't work, but it used all those things. "Then ask the Twilight Police Department to ask Officer Takagi to take a look at the empty house next door, and then to the house on the fifth floor.
Officer Takagi reported, "There's a long finger-thick rope here in this empty room on the sixth floor. And the home on the fifth floor, it's weird. β
"What's weird?" asked the Dusk Police Department.
"The furnishings in the home on the fifth floor are exactly the same as those on the sixth floor, regardless of the orientation and style. Officer Takagi said.
"It's just that I'm used to it. Kozaburo Hijikata said.
"That's what you were prepared to use to confuse the police. "I think you originally wanted to take us to the sixth floor, then commit the crime in the empty room next door, wait until the evening to put the body of Ms. Yumi on the balcony of Mr. Okita on the fifth floor, and then rush to his room with the media to find the body." When the police check the time of death, you can say that you have been on the fifth floor with us at the time, so you have an alibi, and by then the sixth floor must have changed a lot, and we who have only been here once will definitely think that we are on the fifth floor. You originally wanted to carry out this plan, and when you entered the elevator, you also put black tape on the elevator display, ready to take us to the fifth floor, that is, the sixth floor. β
Kozaburo Hijikata said: "Nonsense, that's just a big prank, how can there be any murder plan." β
Conan said in a Maori voice, "I don't think the people who got in the elevator before us noticed this. β
Okita hurriedly said: "Yes, when I took the elevator down, I didn't find that the floor display board of the elevator was abnormal. β
The Twilight Police Department asked, "But why don't you use it again?"
"Because this method has a fatal flaw, using a rope to release the body of Ms. Yumi will leave traces on the body, which cannot be erased. Conan said in a Maori voice, "And Mr. Okita going out to the convenience store just created a rare opportunity for Mr. Hijikata." Using the items he had prepared, he came up with this plan. β
The Dusk Police Department asked, "What are the items you have prepared?"
"Drugged, that's not much to say. Several strands of fishing line are combined into one strand, this is to allow a little bit of recognizable blood from the wound, but not a lot of blood, leaving superfluous marks. The spare key to Mr. Okita's house, as well as his handkerchief and gloves that were found from Mr. Okita's house with this key, may have been revealed. Conan said in a Maori voice.
Okita said, "So, he deliberately wanted to stain the gloves with blood, so that he could blame me." β
"Not bad. Conan said in a Maori voice, "After Mr. Hijikata charmed Ms. Yumi, he opened the door of Mr. Okita's house with a spare key while Mr. Okita was not at home, and took Ms. Yumi to kill her, and ...... at this time."
"Well, it's around 1:54 p.m. β
"Next, Mr. Hijikata theoretically had five or six minutes to set up the scene and clean up the aftermath, but we were waiting for him next door, and there might be any unexpected situation at any time, so Mr. Hijikata's time was actually very short. Conan said in a Maori voice, "He first found a cloth at Mr. Okita's house, then put Ms. Yumi in the corner of the balcony, covered it with a cloth, and packed Ms. Yumi's shoes and murder weapon and threw them down......
"Wait," the Dusk Police Department asked, "why didn't he throw the key down as well?"
"A key can't be thrown far, and when the police search the river, there is a good chance that they will find the key, and although it is not clear whether it is a key related to the incident, they will definitely try it. Conan said in a Maori voice, "And as long as the key that can open the door to Mr. Okita's house appears, Mr. Hijikata will become a suspect without an alibi." β
The Twilight Police Department asked, "Then why don't you stay with yourself?"
"Because he didn't have a key with him. "When he brought us over, he said that he couldn't open the door without a key, and he used this as an excuse to go upstairs to find Miss Yumi, and he must have dropped the spare key to Mr. Okita's house that was strung on his keychain halfway through, and then left it at home, and really didn't bring it out." At that time, Mr. Hijikata's mind must have been thinking about his next plan, and it was normal for this to happen. β
At this time, Officer Takagi reported that a bunch of keys had been found in the cabinet in the entrance of Kozaburo Hijikata's sixth-floor house.
"Since you can't leave the key on your person, or in the room that our police will search carefully, and you can't throw it outside, the most conspicuous place is the safest place," said the Twilight Police Department, "and Mr. Hijikata hung the key on Ms. Yumi's keychain. Then he asked, "By the way, why didn't he go upstairs?"
"It should be too late, after all, this operation was hastily planned because of an unexpected situation. Conan said in a Maori voice, "Mr. Hijikata thought that Ms. Yumi had closed the door when she came out, and he didn't have the key with him, so it took some time to take the key off Miss Yumi's keychain and take it back to open the door." At that time, Mr. Hijikata may have seen Mr. Okita come back from the balcony of Mr. Okita's house, although he made preparations, but because of the tight time, he could not ensure that it was thorough, so he was afraid that Mr. Okita would go to the balcony after returning home and find something abnormal, so he hurriedly came back to make tea, knowing that he should have not done anything about making tea at that time, how could he come to see us without tea? Then he brought tea to us, and then made an excuse to take us to the balcony of his house, so that we could be the ones who found the body of Ms. Yumi. β
Kozaburo Hijikata said, "Detective Maori, all this is just your imagination, and it doesn't mean anything at all. β
"No, Mr. Hijikata, if you go upstairs, you will find that the door to your house is not closed. Conan said in a Maori voice, " In terms of time, Mr. Okita came back before 1:59 p.m., and Mr. Hijikata should have returned to his room at about 58 p.m., that is, Mr. Hijikata only had about four minutes to clean up the aftermath, and he had four minutes to find the cloth covering the body, put the spare key to Mr. Okita's house in Ms. Yumi's keychain, pack and throw away Ms. Yumi's shoes and gloves, and most importantly, take the time to make sure that Ms. Yumi was really placed in the corner of the balcony in various locations in the living room, so that Mr. Okita, who was about to go home, would not find an abnormality in the living roomγ I still have to say here that Mr. Hijikata really deserves to be a famous actor and has the ability to be on the spot. β
"Definitely. The Twilight Police Department said, and then asked, "But, Mori, after all, the body is at Mr. Okita's house, and according to what you said, the murder weapon is also Mr. Okita's, and the key is not sure to have been used by Mr. Hijikata, just because the door is not closed......"
"Yes, so I want to prove that I am the murderer," said Fang Yuzaburo, "Detective Maori ......"
Conan said in a Maori voice, "Because Mr. Hijikata is not only suspected of killing Ms. Yumi, but also has a motive for killing Ms. Yumi, a very strong motive. β
The fat reporter asked with a red face: "Maori detective, please hurry up and say, what is the motive?"
"Mr. Hijikata has lost a lot in the property market, and he has to pay a lot of money for his new movie, so he bought a high insurance policy for his wife, Ms. Yumi, and the beneficiary is, of course, himself, Mr. Kozaburo Hijikata. Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Mr. Hijikata, I wonder if I'm right?"
Stunned for a moment, Kozaburo Hijikata shook his head and smiled: "Detective Maori, illegal trespassing is guilty. β
"I told me when that little ghost was wandering around and accidentally saw it under the bed in your bedroom on the sixth floor. Conan said in a Maori voice, and at the same time thought to himself, really, there are so many reporters here, and even several cameras have been set up, so I can only say this about myself.
"Mr. Hijikata, is this true?" the fat reporter asked excitedly.
At this time, Officer Takagi reported, "Ahem, ahem, police department, I found an insurance policy under the bed in the bedroom of the sixth-floor Hijikata house, and there were two bills in it. Ahem, ahem, that's a lot of dust. β
"Dust?" the Twilight Police Department didn't understand.
"Here I have to say that marrying a star who doesn't do housework as a wife is really hard. Kozaburo Hijikata sighed.
The Twilight Police Department asked, "Mr. Hijikata?"
"There's not much more to say. Kozaburo Hijikata said, "To be honest, I didn't expect Yumi to come out without closing the door, although Yumi doesn't do housework, but the means of preventing paparazzi are usually in place, she locks the door three ways, and I was absent-minded when I put the key, and then I completely forgot where to put the key, I was afraid that I couldn't find it for a while, so I gambled on luck and left the spare key on Yumi's keychain, otherwise after coming out of Okita's house, how could I go upstairs and run a trip, it seems that luck is not on my side." β
The Twilight Police Department asked, "So, Mr. Hijikata, do you admit that you are the murderer?"
"Yes, that's right," Kozaburo Hijikata said into the camera lens, "The person who killed my wife Yumi is Kozaburo Hijikata." When Yongmi Nagakura married me, on the one hand, it was because of our respective connections to take my career to the next level, and on the other hand, because I made a lot of money in real estate and had the funds to help her make films. Now she sees that my career is at a low ebb, and the real estate under my name is losing money every year, and she is afraid that I will drag her down, so she came up with a trick to divorce me with this little white face of Okita, and how can I agree to this kind of thing, it just so happens that I need a lot of money, so I took Yumi's seal and bought an insurance for Yumi. β
After murdering a large amount of film, Kozaburo Hijikata and Okita Ichi, who was a witness, were taken away by the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi.
After the reporters sent off the police car with their cameras, they came back to look for Maori, but they were afraid that Maori would also be a gang, so Yamazaki just took advantage of the reporters to go out to deliver the police car, and helped Maori away, but fortunately there were two doors here. β¦β¦
