Saturday, March 4, evening, Akashi Sanso, Usono City, Shizuoka Prefecture, lobby.

The Yokogou Police Department asked Tahara Toshiaki, Furukawa Noe, and Nagasuka Katsuaki who knew about it, and it turned out that many colleagues knew. I asked if I had found any suspicious people following me, and I was told that there were none.

After hearing what happened to Mori, Yamazaki suggested that Mori ask Kazuyoshi Sunaoka about his itinerary. Mori inquired and learned that Kazuyoshi Sunaoka was hunting alone in the forest today.

"If that's the case, Uncle Mori, I don't think the murderer will be a professional killer, because he has the opportunity and time to kill Mr. Sunaoka during the day, and there is no suspicion that there is a gunshot at that time. Yamazaki said.

"What if he came in the afternoon?" he only knew that Mr. Sunaoka lived in this villa, and he didn't know where he had gone, so he stayed there. ”

"Well, uncle, can you suggest that the Yokogou police department take out the warhead in Mr. Sunaoka's head and take a look? Yamazaki whispered to Maori.

"That's good, too. Maori said, and then said to the Henggou Police Department.

The Henggou Police Department agreed after thinking about it, and then instructed the forensic personnel to take out the warhead, which was a warhead with a sharpened front end and a threaded rear end.

Mei Daizi said: "That's not right, this kind of sharpened bullet will definitely go through his head from the opposite side." ”

Yamazaki noticed that Conan was leaning over to talk to him, and immediately slapped him away, "Little ghost, don't get in the way here. Hinting at him to look to the other side, he whispered to Mori, "Uncle, I suggest checking the fingerprints on the handle inside the door of Mr. Sunaoka's room." ”

Conan stepped back and took a sneak peek, and found that Lan was looking at him there, and he was shocked, what was going on?

"Fingerprints?" Maori was taken aback, "Do you mean ......?"

The Henggou Police Department asked, "Mr. Maori, what are you talking about?"

"That's right," Mori said, "please have someone check the fingerprints on the handle inside Mr. Sunaoka's room." ”

"Fingerprints? The Henggou Police Department immediately summoned forensic personnel and instructed him to investigate.

The forensic officer said: "We have investigated this and were about to report it to the police department that there were only Mr. Maori's fingerprints on the door at the scene. ”

"What!" the Henggou Police Department was taken aback, "So someone wiped off other people's fingerprints?"

"So, when Mr. Sunaoka died, the murderer was in the room. Maori asked, "Excuse me, have you found any suspicious footprints around this lodge?"

"Nope. Forensic officer said.

"That is, no one has ever been in or out of this mountain house. Mori looked at Tahara Toshiaki, Furukawa Noe, and Nagasuka Katsuaki, "In other words, the murderer is just one of the three of you." ”

"Mr. Mao, Mr. Maori, what do you say, how can I kill Shagang. "Katsuaki Nagatsuka's sweat came down.

Furukawa Noe said, "Yes, Mr. Mori, without Sunooka Kaisha, we might go bankrupt, and I can't kill him." ”

"You must have the mind that I can't get it, and no one else can get it. Maori said.

Tahara Toshiaki asked, "Mr. Mori, what evidence do you have for saying that one of us is a murderer?"

"Uh," Maori began to think, "this ......"

Yamazaki said, "Wait, Uncle Maori, I'll leave this to me, okay?"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Maori said.

"First of all, the weapon that shot this bullet was not a pistol, otherwise the sharpened bullet would have pierced the head," Yamazaki said. ”

The Henggou Police Department asked, "It's not a gun, what is it?"

"I know," Mei Daiko smiled with a finger up, "yes......"

"It's a hand crossbow," Yamazaki said, "a delicate little hand crossbow." He continued, "There are no fingerprints on the doorknob, which means that the murderer entered the room at that time, and even if Mr. Sunaoka was drunk and saw someone with a bow or arrow or a crossbow, he should not let him enter the door, so it should be a delicate small crossbow." ”

"Oh, so I put the bullet on the shaft of the crossbow as an arrow. Henggou Police Department said.

"Not a bullet, just a bullet. "This bullet is the bullet of a rifle bullet, but there is only a shotgun here, and it is not easy to carry a rifle with you, so this bullet was brought by the murderer, who must have been to a shooting range recently." ”

Sonoko asked, "But what about the gunshot?"

Mei Daizi said: "It's simple, just record the gunfire and play it out on the stereo." ”

The Yokogou Police Department said, "The murderer is Mr. Tahara or Mr. Nagatsuka, who went hunting." ”

"You can't say that, the sound could have been recorded before. "The whole incident should have been like this, the murderer was in Mr. Sunaoka's room beforehand, using a crossbow to shoot a crossbow bolt with a warhead at close range, piercing a hole in the balcony glass and covering it with a curtain, and then loading the glass shards on the ground, taking the crossbow arrow and leaving." At night, the murderer secretly took a crossbow to knock on Mr. Sunaoka's room, and when he entered, he took out a crossbow and killed Mr. Sunaoka when he was unprepared, and then moved his body to the balcony, and then turned out the shaft of the crossbow arrow, opened the curtain and scattered glass shards on the ground, making a fake scene of Mr. Sunaoka being sniped. ”

The Yokogou Police Department asked, "Wait, if Mr. Sunaoka was dead by then, who called Mr. Mori?"

"It's also a recording. "Next, the killer called Uncle Maori, played the recording on the phone, and then hung up the phone to play the recording of the gunfire into the valley." Due to the echo of the valley, it is mistaken for a sound from somewhere else. ”

"I see," the Henggou police department asked, "who is the murderer?"

Yamazaki asked, "Mr. Akashi, I heard that Miss Furukawa came yesterday afternoon, so did you tell them when you would be tidying up your room today?"

Yusaku Akashi said, "I said I would tidy up my room in the morning and prepare dinner in the kitchen in the afternoon. ”

Yamazaki asked, "Mr. Akashi, I would like to ask who among them was the last to go out today, who came back halfway, or who came back first." ”

"Well," Yusaku Akashi said after a moment's thought, "it's Mr. Tahara, who was the last to go out, and he was the first to come back." ”

"What's wrong with that, I'm just a little tired. Tahara asked.

Yamazaki said: "Because Mr. Akashi will go to clean the room in the morning, the murderer can only prepare for the scene in the afternoon, so the murderer is Mr. Tahara, who came back first." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a key, how can I get in?" asked Tahara Toshiaki.

Yamazaki said, "This villa looks like it's been around for a long time, and the guest room door should be able to be done with one all-purpose key." ”

Tahara Toshiaki asked, "Damn, what evidence do you have for saying that?"

"Your crossbow and tape recorder should have been thrown away, and even if you found it, it wouldn't have your fingerprints on it. Yamazaki said, "But, Mr. Tahara, I think you wrote too many detective scripts and considered the whole incident from a detective's point of view." Indeed, from a detective's point of view, there is no solution to this incident, but detectives and police are completely two different concepts, and for the police, this incident is very simple. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Toshiaki Tahara.

"Mr. Tahara, the phone you called Uncle Maori's mobile phone was your own, right? I think you still have it with you. Yamazaki laughed, "The detective can't investigate the call, but the police can't if they have an application." Henggou Police Department, I don't need to talk about it below. ”

"Understood," said the Yokozo police department, "please hand over your mobile phone, Mr. Tahara." ”

Tahara Toshiaki asked, "Why do you think it's me, and I came back first?"

Yamazaki said, "Because both Ms. Furukawa and Mr. Nagasuka came back after the rain. Mr. Tahara, if I'm not mistaken, you didn't know it was raining until you killed Mr. Sunooka, otherwise you wouldn't have done it. Because there are no footprints on the land after the rain, it is possible to exclude foreign invaders. You should have closed the curtains when it rained, and then you went back to your room and lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling to figure out what to do at night, until the rain stopped for a while in the evening before you were invited out for dinner. ”

"I," Tahara Toshiaki sighed, "alas, even a minor can see that I still lose." As he spoke, he handed over the mobile phone to the Henggou Police Department.

The Yokomizo Police Department asked, "Mr. Tahara, are you now admitting that you killed Mr. Kazuyoshi Sunaoka?"

"Yes, I killed it. Tahara Toshiaki asked, "Now that your police investigation has not been completed, I can be regarded as surrendering, right?"

The Henggou Police Department smiled bitterly: "Yes." ”

"Uncle Maori, my mission is now complete. Yamazaki said.

"Well, good, good job. Mori happily patted Yamazaki on the shoulder.

Nagasuka Katsuaki asked, "Tahara, why is that?"

Tahara Toshiaki said angrily: "That guy in Sunaoka actually looks down on my script, blame me if he is not popular, I can't forgive that guy." ”

Furukawa sighed, "But you can't do that." ”

"I'm sorry, Furukawa. Tahara Toshiaki said, and then sighed, "Actually, I wanted to plan a perfect murder that neither the production staff nor the actors, nor the detectives, including Sakoo Yu, could solve." ”

"Alright, Mr. Tahara Toshiaki, let's go. Henggou Police Department said.

After that, the police took Tahara Toshiaki away and told the others to go to the Numazu Police Station, which is in charge of the area, tomorrow to take notes.

After the police left, Mori, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, Midaiko, and Sonoko went to Midaiko's room for supper, and then went back to their rooms. ……

Night, Maori room.

On the bed, Maori slept profusely, Lan lay sideways on the ground bunk A, and Conan lay sideways on the ground bunk B.

Looking at Conan, who was motionless with his back to him, Lan couldn't sleep when he thought of Conan's performance, the answer he thought of was ridiculous, but he just couldn't help but think about it. By the way, if you don't ask Yamazaki, uh, no, Yamazaki will tell Midaiko, and Midaiko will tell Sonoko, and then Sonoko will make fun of me thinking that guy thinks, no, no.

Thinking of this, Lan's face flushed, and her breathing became a little short.

Hearing Lan's breathing, Conan sighed secretly, Lan, why haven't you slept earlier, keep this position, my whole body is going to be numb now.

Soon after, Lan fell asleep in his cranky thoughts and let out a slight snoring sound.

Conan sat up and stretched his body after hearing this, then lay down facing Lan, looking at Lan's sleeping face by the moonlight, just watching it stupidly, thinking about nothing, and falling asleep unconsciously. ……
