Sunday, August 27, afternoon, live.

The Junior Detective Corps told the story again, and Yamazaki couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what kind of odds was this to be able to fly the baseball from the river here, and just fly into the scene of the murder.

The Twilight Police Department said: "There is no trace of a fight, it should not be a robber who killed someone." ”

Conan said: "It must be an acquaintance, because there is a sign on the door of the room that prohibits entry, indicating that there is someone in the room, and it is unlikely that he will open the door and come in and walk behind him without being noticed." ”

Gray Yuan said: "If you are a stranger, you will deliberately make some noise outside, and then lie in ambush outside the door and hold the murder weapon tightly, and wait for the people in the room to come out and then attack him." ”

"Xiao Ai, it's terrible. Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko squeezed out their bean eyes, and the others were also speechless.

Conan looked at Gray Yuan helplessly, please, can you look like a first-grader.

Gray Yuan said: "It's all played like this on TV. ”

"Ahem," the Twilight Police Department looked at novelist Manda and Shimaki Editor, "So, why are you on the scene?"

"My house is next door," said Manda, "and we heard the jar or something breaking, and we came over to take a look." ”

Maori asked, "When you hear the voice, come and take a look, do you know each other well?"

"This house is mine, and this former tenant of Gao Ping was rented. "This used to be where my family and I lived, but then I thought it was too small and built a new house next door, and now my son has moved out to live alone, and my wife has gone before me, so I live on the opposite side alone, and I feel lonely, and it is a pity to demolish this place, so I let him live." ”

"I see. The Dusk Police Department said.

"And," said Manda, "he tried to be a novelist, and I needed an assistant, and I paid him to put together some material for the novel, so he probably had a lot of my manuscripts on his computer, and ideas that he hadn't used." ”

"It's very close. "So, if you don't mind, could you please tell me what you've been doing this afternoon, and if you don't want to, you can leave it alone." ”

"It doesn't matter. "I've been at the New Rice Hotel in front this afternoon, to be exact, I've been writing at the New Rice Hotel since last night, and I didn't come back until then. ”

"Writing at the hotel?" Officer Takagi asked, "The New Rice Hotel is only a two- or three-minute drive from here, right?"

"I think the hotel is more comfortable. Manda said.

Maori asked, "Shimaki editor, have you been there all this time?"

"No, I went to the hotel this afternoon, and I've been waiting on the floor rest of Manda-sensei's room. Shimaki said, "If Mr. Manda leaves the hotel room, he will definitely pass by there, so it should be impossible to sneak out." ”

Maori asked, "What about you? Do you have an alibi?"

"I saw a few waiters," Shimaki said quickly, "and they should have seen me, too." ”

Conan's eyes lit up, "What time is it?"

Wan Tian's long-disgruntled police department asked, "Mr. Officer, do you think that we are suspects?"

The Twilight Police Department hurriedly said, "No, no, there is no such thing. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Wantian, we haven't done anything, and making it clear will naturally dispel the police's doubts. Shimaki said, and then reported a few approximate times.

"The time of death of the deceased is about two o'clock in the afternoon," Officer Takagi pondered, "around one forty-five in the afternoon, about two and a half an hour in the afternoon, enough time for you to go back and forth." ”

Shimaki editor: "My car has been in the parking lot, and I can't come here at all. ”

"You can take a taxi, and you can ride a bicycle," says Maori. ”

"What?" Shimaki said, "I've really been at the hotel, and I don't have a motive to kill." ”

"Uh......" Maori words are poor.

At this time, Manda's old cat appeared.

"Where did this cat come from!" the Twilight Police Department furious, "Takagi get it out of here, don't let it ruin the scene." ”

"Yes. Officer Takagi replied.

"Ah, I'm sorry, can you please let me come?" said Manda, "This is my cat, and this house used to be a place for him to walk, and even if it was rented out, he often came to it. ”

Manda grabbed the cat and sent it home to a cage.

Conan asked Shimaki Editor, "Now, has this cat been following him?"

Shimaki said, "That's right, this is Manda-sensei's favorite cat, and the teacher takes it with him wherever he goes. ”

Both Yamazaki and Conan confirmed that this guy was the murderer nine times out of ten, and he was a fool who brought all the cats with him during the crime, so much so that he made the room at the scene of the murder full of cat hair, and had to put the cat at the scene afterwards to cover up that the cat had been to the scene today.

At this time, the housewife Ichimura came and was let go of the cordon.

The housewife was surprised by the situation of the house, "How could it be?"

"Yes," the Dusk Police Department asked, "do you know who he has a grudge with?"

The village housekeeper said: "Probably not, he writes at home all day and night, and rarely goes out." ”

Wan Tian came again for a long time, "Ah, he just helped me organize the novel materials, and then write some ideas or something." ”

Yamazaki and Conan found that Wanda was a little nervous for a long time, and the motive for the murder should not be in writing, right? Could it be a shadow writer or something? Then this murder incident will not be a murder, right?

I don't know, but he's staying in the house anyway, with a sign on the door that says no-disturb while writing. "But he has a bit of a bad personality, likes to play pranks, and has a collecting habit, maybe when he was collecting things, he played a trick on someone, causing people to be angry and kill him." ”

"Bad character.,I like to play pranks.。 "Like the upside-down toys in this room right now?"

"Pretty much. "For example, I folded all the slippers one by one, unscrewed all the light bulbs in the house so that they didn't light up, and there were videotapes in the hallway like dominoes, and then he would hide in the shadows and laugh at the way I was worried about putting them away, and sometimes I would like to beat him up." ”

"It's bad enough. Yuan Tai said.

Mitsuhiko said, "And it's boring. ”

"Even we kids don't know how to do it. Ayumi said.

Eiyu Hondo said: "In this case, it is normal for him to have conflicts with others, in his eyes it is just a prank, and in the eyes of others, it may be a deep hatred." ”

Conan laughed, the upside-down toy turned out to be like this, taking advantage of the deceased's penchant for pranks.

The prisoner did not try to hide anything by turning it upside down, but thought that by turning it upside down, he would hide it.

No, the correct way to say it is to think that it will be hidden.

Unfortunately, the time was too short, so he casually reversed something.

And what the prisoner wants to hide is the cat hair, which makes people think that it is also part of the prank, because they are afraid that in case there is no chance to put the cat on the scene again and confuse the cat hair.

"What are you laughing at?" Gray Yuan whispered angrily, "It's really unpleasant, this kind of expression that only I know and then snicker." ”

Ayumi said, "That's it." ”

Yuan Tai glared and said, "Conan." ”

Mitsuhiko asked, "Tell me everything you know." ”

"Okay, let's go to the side. "Conan took the Junior Detectives away.

"That's what the outsiders are doing, isn't it?" Shimaki said, "So, officer, can I go? I'm going to go back to the editorial office." ”

"Well, okay. The Twilight Police Department hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

"After you're done handing in your manuscript, come back again. Wan Tian said with a smile, "We still have to discuss the next work, and I plan to write a mystery novel next." ”

"Push, mystery novels?" Shimaki was surprised, "Mr. Manda, you write costume novels, you're not kidding, are you?"

"When I'm older, I want to change my mood, but I'm almost done writing. Manda smiled and said, "Help me take a look." ”

"Since you've said so, I'm going to read it, and the readers are looking forward to it. Shimaki smiled, then took his leave and left.

"By the way, Mr. Officer, I don't know if it's useful," said the Ichimura housewife, "but Mr. Hara also likes detective novels, and he also said that he must write mystery novels for his debut, and I heard that writing mystery novels requires dealing with prisoners, so I wonder if it will be someone who will be involved when collecting materials." ”

Maori asked, "Do you know what kind of novel it is?"

"I don't know, I don't like detective dramas," said the Ichimura housewife, "but it should be in his laptop." ”

Officer Takagi went to investigate the laptop, and forensic officers came to report that some phones had been found.

The deceased had been in frequent contact with a person before his death, and the last phone call was estimated to have been fifteen minutes before the deceased's death.

The Twilight Police Department reversed and determined that it was a landline in a room in the New Rice Hotel.

"Ah, that's, that's my call. "Manda's sweat came down for a long time.

At this time, Mori, the Twilight Police Department, Officer Takagi, and Eiyu Hondo all began to suspect that Manta had been old for a long time, because it was possible that Manda had made a phone call in order to confirm the original location of Takahira.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Excuse me, why did you call Mr. Hara?"

"Didn't I say that? He helped me organize the information. Wan Tian said, "I'll talk to him." ”

Maori asked, "Is that all?"

"No, but at the time he said he was happy to finally collect all the things, so I didn't ask. "You can ask Mrs. Ichimura, she often helps him buy things." ”

The village housekeeper said: "He didn't ask me to buy anything today, he just asked me to make an appointment with the dentist. ”

Forensic personnel reported that there was a tooth in the vase fragment in the drawer, whose it was not known at this time.

Hondo Yingyou asked, "Speaking of which, is there anything in this drawer?"

Officer Takagi asked, "Why do you say that?"

"It's the middle place, no vase fragments. Eiyu Hondo said, "Maybe the prisoner took it." ”

Yamazaki said, "Looking at the size, it looks like a disc box. ”

"Disc box?" the Twilight Police Department pulled out one, carefully placed it in, and placed it between the fragments of the vase, and found that it matched.

Wan Tian said weakly: "Well, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first, and then call me if there is something." ”……
