Saturday, January 25 night, Rice Flower Town 5-chome Fitness Gym.

Since it was less than ten minutes away, Kaito, Aoko, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, and Midaiko all came, and under the leadership of Mori, everyone crossed the cordon and entered the gym and came to the pool.

The Twilight Police Department looked at the large crowd and asked, "Maori, what's the matter with you?"

"Dusk Police Department, I, Lan and Conan and I have been here in the morning. Yamazaki laughed.

"Well, then you can stay here. The Twilight Police Department nodded, then pointed to the body of Naoya Saijo, who was being photographed, and said to Mori, "Just wait a minute." ”

"Have I been here before?" asked Aoko in a low voice.

Lan whispered, "I didn't see you. ”

Mei Daizi laughed quietly: "Anyway, it's okay in the store, just wait a while and go back for supper." ”

"How many?" said Kaito chuckled, "You're telling the truth." ”

"Of course. Yamazaki chuckled.

Conan chuckled, "It's true. ”

At this time, the photo was taken, and the Twilight Police Department said: "The victim Saijo Naoya, the specific cause of death and the time of death will not be known until the autopsy report comes out, but judging from the superficial characteristics of the body and the degree of stiffness, we deduce that the cause of death was drowning, and the time of death was between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening." ”

"Drowning?" Aoko asked in a low voice, "How do you see this?"

"Foam can be seen in his nose and mouth, and there is a small amount of bleeding in his ears, which is the relationship between the water entering the nose and mouth, which is the pressure on the inner ear," Conan said, touching his chin, "It is a characteristic of drowning no matter how you look at it." ”

"Do you know that?" asked Kaito.

"TV, it's TV. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Conan hurriedly said, "I wrote it down last time I saw it in a suspenseful reasoning film on TV." ”

Kaito said, "That's good. ”

"It's already amazing. Aoko laughed, "He's only six years old." ”

Maori thought for a moment and asked, "No matter how he says he is also a diver, he should be very good in the water, how can he drown?"

"He's like he's hit something on his forehead, and you can see there's blood on his swimming cap. "According to the employees, Saijo's body was found in the pool, under the jump." ”

"In other words, he accidentally failed while practicing diving," Maori said. ”

"By the way, Dad," Ran asked rhetorically, "Didn't Mr. Naoya Saijo almost hit his head once when he was practicing in the morning?"

The Dusk Police Department asked, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Yes, I'm up," said Maori, "it was a dangerous time, and I didn't think it was a real failure." ”

"But one witness said he saw a perfect jump and drew it. It's a pity that he didn't pay attention to whether someone was diving before, and he didn't pay attention to it when he was busy painting after that, and he didn't notice the time, otherwise the time of Mr. Saijo's death could have been roughly determined. As he spoke, he showed Maori a picture of a man leaping head and foot in the air with a full moon behind him.

"It does look perfect. "In that case, the matter would be very simple, and Mr. Saijo later failed to dive again, and it was a complete accident." ”

"It's not what you think," the Dusk Police Department said, "The witness was a resident of the apartment next door, and he said that the lights were off in the arena at the time, and he didn't see the face of the diver clearly,"

"What?" said Maori, taken aback, "in that case, how did he see that someone was diving here? It was at least fifteen meters from the apartment next door, and it was separated by a layer of glass." ”

"We've experimented with the lights off in this venue, and with the moonlight on, we can really see something near the pool dimly. "But from there, you can only see a distance in the air, and you can't see what is going on the jump or when you enter the water, so the word 'perfect' is just what he said." ”

In this way, this painting is mostly the artist's beautified imagination. "That is, it is just certain that someone has jumped over the water in this place." ”

"We've asked the staff, and most of them don't think that Mr. Saijo would leave the lights on in order to save power in the gym. We also found a wet hand towel in Mr. Saijo's cabinet with traces of drugs. "The preliminary inference is that this incident may not have been an accident, but a model of the morning's incident, which caused this accident." ”

"Drugged Mr. Naoya Saijo, took him to the diving platform, hit his head on the springboard to create injuries, and then pushed him into the water. I think this process will take at least 10 minutes, and there will be more than 10 minutes of blank time with the time of diving. Maori asked, "Strange, why would the murderer dive in that case? Isn't that a waste of time?"

"It's not clear. "The gym was closed after 8 p.m. for celebrations, and by the time we arrived, all the staff were still there, and no one had left early. ”

Maori said: "So, the murderer is in this gym. ”

"That's easy," Kaito laughed, "just let them take off their pants and check it." ”

"Kaidou!" Aoko exclaimed with a red face.

"That's a good idea. Conan laughed.

Lan shouted, "Conan!"

"Dusk Police Department, I think I can try it. Maori touched his chin and said, "Since the murderer jumped over the water, then there must be a pair of wet swimming trunks, find out and check how wet it is, you can calculate when it was wet, compare the time of Mr. Saijo's death, if yes, then that person appeared at the place of Mr. Saijo's death at the time of Mr. Saijo's death, that person must be the murderer." ”

"Maori!" the Dusk Police Department was taken aback.

Mori laughed and said, "This level of reasoning is a piece of complete cake for my famous detective Mori Kogoro." ”

Yamazaki said, "The Twilight Police Department, maybe you can consider diving with the lights off, and you should be able to narrow it down." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked the gym owner, Miss Reiko Saeki, who was accompanying her.

"If you do a 10-meter dive with the lights off," says Reiko Saeki, "Normally, only me, Kijima, and Naruse can do it in this gym." But officer, I have an alibi, and I didn't leave the venue for more than ten minutes halfway through, and there are a lot of people here to prove it. ”

Mori said, "Then it's Mr. Kijima and Mr. Keiichi Naruse." ”

The Dusk Police Department asked, "Do you two have an alibi?"

Mr. Kijima and Mr. Keiichi Naruse shook their heads together.

The Twilight Police Department ordered someone to check it, and the swim trunks on Mr. Kijima were dry, and Mr. Keiichi Naruse's swim trunks were faintly wet.

At this time, a police officer sent a photograph of Mr. Keiichi Naruse and a woman.

"This photo was obviously taken secretly, secretly. Maori smiled, "Mr. Naruse, you hurt Mr. Saijo because you were blackmailed by him." ”

"It's not me, although I met in the West Treaty, but I waited for more than ten minutes and he didn't show up. Keiichi Naruse exclaimed, "And if there is a motive for the murder, as far as I know, the curator and Kijima also have them, one of them was discovered by Saijo for tax problems, and the other was taken away from the right to play by Saijo." ”

"Stop quibbling. Maori laughed, "Your swim trunks are the best proof of this." ”

That's the proof that he's not the murderer. Kaito laughed.

"What?" Maori was taken aback.

Conan said, "The killer went to change out of his wet swimming trunks after jumping over the water, so it was completely dry. ”

"Are you a thief?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "Mr. Kijima, what else do you have to say?"

"If you talk about dry swim trunks," says Kijima, "a lot of people here have dry swim trunks." ”

"And what about the condition of an unknown time?" said Yamazaki, "Mr. Kijima, apart from you and Mr. Naruse, there is no third person who has more than ten minutes of unknown time during the celebration." And the meeting between Mr. Saijo and Mr. Naruse should have been planned by you, or you took advantage of it. ”

"Alas!" Kijima said as he looked at the ten-meter diving platform, "The athlete who walks down from the diving platform will definitely not be a diver." ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "Mr. Kijima, you are admitting that you hurt Mr. Naoya Saijo tonight. ”

"Yes. Kijima said, "Half a year ago, I was in an accident on a motorcycle, and my girlfriend who was sitting in the back seat of my car was seriously injured. ”

"I remember you're not a swimmer now?" Maori said, "and it's time to look into it." ”

"But," Kijima said with some pain, "what I like is diving." ”

"Aren't you okay to compare them to them?" said Mei Daiko, "Don't blame others if you can't do it yourself." ”

"Strength?" Kijima said with a smile, "To be honest, although Naoya Saijo has a bad personality, I have to admit that his strength is not bad, not worse than me." But Naruse, he?ha!"

"What?" the Maori and Twilight Police Department wondered.

Seeing that Mr. Naruse and Miss Saeki's faces changed, Kaito smiled and asked, "Do you see that the woman in this photo is somewhat similar to Curator Reiko Saeki?"

"Not going back, right?" Aoko asked rhetorically, "Is this her makeup?"

"In this way, it turns out that Mr. Saijo said that Mr. Naruse lacked exercise in the morning, which was the opposite, and in fact it was an allusion to Mr. Naruse's 'excessive exercise and lack of strength.'" Maori couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

The Twilight Police Department laughed twice, then coughed, and said with a straight face, "Mr. Kijima, please come with us." ”

"Okay. Kijima said.

"Officer," Reiko Saeki asked, "...... the gym here?"

"It's all right here," the Dusk Police Department said, "but Curator Saeki, please don't leave, my colleagues from the Economics Division will come looking for you." Then he said to the Maori Seven, "Thank you so much for today." Maori, you take them back. ”

"Okay, Dusk Police. Maori laughed. ……

At one o'clock after ten o'clock, Kaito, Aoko, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko and Mori return to Mei Dai's restaurant, and Mori has a late night snack. ……

The next day, the news of the gym appeared in the morning paper, in which the lace news of Reiko Saeki and Keiichi Naruse accounted for more than half of the page, and Mr. Naruse was not actually married, but he would hide it for fear of being gossiped. Later, Mr. Kijima was sentenced to six years. Miss Saeki's tax problems were confirmed, and she was fined a lump sum. The original strength of the gym is the two events of diving and swimming, which have invested a lot of money. Miss Saeki resumes training players, and after losing attention, Saeki Gym becomes a regular gym in the town. ……
