Tuesday, January 4th, early hours aboard the Fernie cruise ship.

At the end of the investigation, Shi Feng Bao left, and the three of them took Kanie Ishisa, Takashi Inoue, Nagi Isobei, Minoru Ebina, and Tadao Whalei to make a record.

Yamazaki and Hattori returned to the restaurant, and while eating supper, in Conan's puffed eyes, he told Midaiko, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan about the incident just now.

Mori and Shimaharu Samezaki went to the ship's bar together and drank until dawn and got drunk together. ……

In the afternoon, on deck.

Yamazaki, Maidiko, Hattori, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan looked at the sea, drinking afternoon tea and chatting, when Manager Yamano came to inform him that Haiyan, the plane on the water, was coming.

Mei Daiko stretched, "Okay, I'm going back, this cruise ship will only arrive at Chichijima at night, so you can swim slowly on this sea." ”

Ran said, "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow in Ogasawara." ”

"Boy, see you next time. Hattori grinned and rubbed Conan's head, causing Conan to straighten his triangular eyes.

Yamazaki saw Sonoko smile and looked at Hattori and Conan with his chin and shook his head, it seems that Hattori's problem in some aspect is solid.

After that, a seaplane flew over and the cruise ship Fernie stopped.

Yamazaki, Midaiko, and Hattori, together with the Twilight Police Department, Officer Sato, Officer Takagi, Minoru Ebina, and Tadao Whalei, boarded the seaplane Petrel in a lifeboat. ……

The plane landed at the pier in the center of the harbor, and the five members of the Twilight Police Department got into the police car to pick them up, and a police car side by side sent Yamazaki, Maidiko, and Hattori to Tokyo Station.

Yamazaki and Midaiko put Hattori on the Shinkansen and took a taxi home. ……

A day later, Ye Caisan's outfit found Whale Well's fingerprints and hair.

Later, he was sentenced to 12 years for gun possession and homicide.

Minoru Ebino was sentenced to three years and three months for attempted suicide with homemade explosives and the use of explosives. ……

Wednesday, January 5, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

Yamazaki came to file the report he wrote yesterday, and just as he was about to leave, the door was pushed open, and the Yokozo Police Department of Shizuoka Prefecture came in.

"Happy New Year, Yokozo Police Department, I'm Uncle Maori's assistant Yamazaki. Yamazaki said.

"It's you, Happy New Year, Happy New Year. The Henggou Police Department asked, "Is Mr. Maori here?"

"Uncle Maori is in Ogasawara now, and I'm afraid he won't be back in a day or two. Yamazaki said.

"What?Ogasawara?" the Yokomizo police department had a headache, "I'm in trouble." ”

Yamazaki asked, "Is there anything you can talk to me about if you don't mind?"

"Well, actually, I have an incident that I would like to ask Mr. Maori for help." ”

"Please wait. Yamazaki said.

After that, Yamazaki went downstairs to Poirot Cafe and brought two drink packages to the Yokozo Police Department.

"Here's the thing. The Yokozo Police Department took out an incident file and handed it to Yamazaki, "The day before yesterday, the famous artist Mr. Taiji Komiyayama suddenly died backstage before his New Year's performance, which caused an uproar and made us feel stressed. What's even more troublesome is that three people, Mr. Kengo Katsumata, Miss Yukiko Shinkura, and Mr. Hoshino Jiyuki, have come forward and said that they hit Mr. Komiyayama's head, but all three of them said that they did not pay attention to the specific time at that time, and that the cause of Mr. Komiyayama's fatal death was not a traumatic brain injury, but a heart attack. Mr. Katsumata said that Mr. Koyamamiya went to him because of a problem with the new show, tore up his script and insulted him, so in a moment of anger, he smashed Mr. Koyamamiya's head with a vase, and then moved Mr. Komiyayama to Mr. Komiyayama's lounge. Miss Shinkura said that Mr. Koyamanomiya was frivolous and moved his hands and feet, and in fear, she picked up the vase and smashed Mr. Koyamamiya's head, and then ran away. Mr. Hoshino said that Mr. Koyamanomiya threatened him not to want Miss Ikura's idea, and also threatened that Miss Ikura was his, and Mr. Hoshino had already loved Miss Ikura, so in anger, he smashed Mr. Koyamamiya's head with a vase, and then moved Mr. Komiyayama to Mr. Komiyama's lounge. In the end, Mr. Koyamamiya's body was found in his lounge, an hour after he had died. ”

Yamazaki asked, "Are you sure everyone else has an alibi and no outsiders?"

"Sure," said the Yokomizo Police Department, "Mr. Katsumata, Ms. Ikura, Mr. Hoshino, Mr. Komiyayama, the four of them are in separate lounges, and they are in the same place. Among the people backstage at the time, only Mr. Katsumata, Miss Shinkura, and Mr. Hoshino did not have an alibi, and the two security guards guarding the door also confirmed that there were no foreign criminals. ”

Yamazaki said: "It says that Mr. Komiyayama had a heart attack due to pain and died due to faintness and weakness to call for help, but I look at the photo, Mr. Komiyayama has a medicine bottle around his neck, and it says that the medicine bottle is empty, so coincidentally? ”

"According to Mr. Komiyayama's wife, there were still three pills in it when they parted at noon, and generally speaking, it was more than enough for an afternoon, so I planned to go home in the evening to replenish them. Mrs. Komiyayama said that Mr. Komiyayama would take a pill as long as his heart hurt, and he was not very good-tempered, and if he encountered something unsatisfactory, he would sometimes take a lot of pills in a short period of time, which may be finished. "We have confirmed that the concentration of the drug in Mr. Komiyayama's blood shows that he took three pills within a few hours. ”

Yamazaki asked, "So what do you suspect now?"

The Yokozo Police Department said: "Because Miss Ikura said that she ran out after committing the murder, the scene is different from the final scene, she can be excluded, and what she said is also true, so it is speculated that Miss Ikura did not kill Mr. Koyamanomiya, and according to the analysis of psychological experts, due to Miss Ikura's refusal, Mr. Koyamanomiya thought that Miss Ikura was dating Mr. Hoshino, so he went to Mr. Hoshino, who might have a beauty, and announced to him the ownership of Miss Ikura." After being beaten, he thinks that his authority has been violated, so he goes to Mr. Katsumata, who is likely to challenge his position, and shows him his strong side to show that he is superior. ”

Yamazaki said: "Since this is the case, it is that Mr. Komiyayama took a pill before meeting Miss Ikura, and after being knocked unconscious by Miss Ikura, he woke up and took a pill because of heartache, and after being knocked unconscious by Mr. Hoshino, he woke up and took a pill because of heartache, and finally after being knocked unconscious by Mr. Katsumata, he woke up again because of heartache, but at this time there was no pill, and because of the continuous blows to the head, he was dizzy and weak and couldn't call for help, and finally died. ”

The Henggou Police Department said: "Yes, yes, that's what we speculated. It's just that we can't rule out the suspicion that the three of them colluded to commit the crime, and if Mr. Katsumata is declared the murderer like this, and the media will break the news in the future, then our police in Shizuoka Prefecture will be in trouble. ”

"There is a question, Mr. Komiyayama took a pill before he met Miss Shinkura, what caused him to get sick and take this pill. Yamazaki said, "It stands to reason that Mr. Komiyayama should have calmly prepared for the stage at that time, so how could he rashly go to Miss Ikura to express his love." ”

"Huh?" said the Henggou Police Department after a moment's thought, "It's really a problem, but no one bothered him at the time......"

Yamazaki reminded: "Mobile phone. ”

"That's right, mobile phone. The Yokozo Police Department called back with a mobile phone to ask people to check the call records of Taiji Komiyayama before the accident, and asked him to fax the records to the Maori Detective Agency.

Soon after, the transcript of Taiji Komiyayama's call that day was faxed, and it turned out that it was only his wife who had spoken to Taiji Komiyayama before.

Yamazaki asked, "Henggou Police Department, look at the age difference between Mrs. Komiyayama and Mr. Komiyayama in the photo, the old husband and the young wife, how is the relationship between the husband and wife?"

"I heard it's not good," the Henggou Police Department was taken aback, "you mean ......"

Yamazaki said: "Maybe everything was planned by Mrs. Komiyayama, borrowing a knife to kill people. Mrs. Komiyayama must have known Mr. Komiyayama, so she first provoked Mr. Komiyayama's nerves, saying that he was incompetent, his charm was greatly reduced, and so on, which made him so angry that he took the first pill, and then Mr. Komiyayama went to Miss Shinkura, wanting to prove that he was still attractive, and the next incident was logical. ”

"This," the Henggou Police Department thought for a while and smiled bitterly, "This does make sense, but the evidence ......"

Yamazaki said, "Apply to the top to track Mrs. Komiyayama in all directions and listen to all her communications. This kind of incident is generally caused by the appearance of a third party, and if you find this person, you should be able to convict. ”

The Henggou Police Department thought for a while and smiled: "You are right, thank you so much, you are worthy of being Mr. Maori's assistant." ”

"Uncle To's blessing. Yamazaki said, "By the way, the Yokogou Police Department, if you want to report, report the name of the Maori Detective Agency, so that if there is a bonus, it will be more." ”

"Ha, it's Mr. Maori's assistant, don't worry, if it's really as you said, I will do my best to help apply for the bonus. The Henggou Police Department laughed.

"Thank you so much. Yamazaki laughed.

After that, Yamazaki closed the door and sent the Yokogou police department downstairs, and then went home. ……
