Monday, April 24, afternoon, freelance writer Masato Sugimori's apartment.

Motota quickly opened the unlocked door and let everyone see the situation in Masato Sugimori's apartment.

A man sat by the hallway, his head covered in blood.

"Ahh

"Mr. Sugimori!" Kobayashi sensei was shocked.

"No, you can't go in, teacher, and the same goes for everyone else. Conan stopped Mr. Kobayashi and went in alone to check.

"For the teacher who has met with him, if he is found to have his hair or something falling out of the room, he will be suspected of being a suspect. ”

Mitsuhiko said, "Anyway, teacher, you go and call an ambulance and the police first." ”

"We're kids, so we're considered pranks. ”

Ayumi said, "It's best to call the Twilight Police Department directly." He said and put down the phone number.

"Oooh. "Mr. Kobayashi's reaction to the Junior Detective Corps was very dressed and reacted.

"No, there's no need to call an ambulance," Conan, who was standing next to Masato Sugimori, turned around and said in a deep voice, "The body is completely stiff, and it seems that it has been dead for more than half a day." ”

Mr. Kobayashi was impressed with Conan again, stiffened, and died for more than half a day? This is certainly not something that ordinary children can say. ……

When Conan returned to the entrance, he immediately got the inquiries of Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko, and it happened that Mr. Kobayashi had already gone to pick up the police, so Conan said it.

The time of death of the deceased is unknown, the cause of death was a blunt blow to the camera tripod, and the clue is this message on the phone.

Mitsuhiko asked, "Hey, Conan, is there really a prisoner's voice in those messages?"

"Certainly," said Conan, "because some of the blood that had been splashed on the message button had been erased, it must have been the prisoner's intention to make an alibi after killing Mr. Sugimori." ”

"But it could also have been done deliberately to disrupt the investigation. ”

"Then look behind you. Conan pointed out that "there was blood under the handle on the inside of the gate, which was evidence that the prisoner fled in a hurry without noticing the blood on his fingers." ”

Yuan Tai asked, "Conan, how do you know that the prisoner is wearing gloves?"

"If you weren't wearing gloves, even if you didn't notice blood on your fingers for a while, you would have felt it when you grabbed the doorknob," he said. ”

"Makes sense. Ayumi agreed.

At this time, the sound of police cars approached, and the twilight police department arrived. ……

Seeing the juvenile detective group, the Dusk Police Department cried and laughed and said, "It's you a few again!"

"Yes!" Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko happily raised their hands in response and greeted Officer Takagi, who had also arrived.

Mr. Kobayashi asked, "Well, officer, are you familiar with them?"

The Twilight Police Department sighed, "Well, that guy's luck has been passed on to them. After speaking, he led the team into the scene.

"That guy?" Kobayashi sensei was puzzled.

Motota smiled, "That's it, Detective Mori Kogoro." ”

Mitsuhiko smiled, "It's the house where Conan stays." ”

Ayumi smiled: "Uncle will always run into incidents. ”

Mr. Kobayashi said, "Oh, it turned out to be the detective who is always on the news. ”

They were talking, and Conan flowed into the scene to alert the Twilight Police Department to the phone messages and the bloodstains on the doorknobs.

The Twilight Police Department said, "Well, judging from the blood stains on the landline of the phone, there are indeed a little traces of smearing. ”

"It is true that someone pressed this message button after blood was splattered on it. Officer Takagi said, "This person should be the murderer, because if it was the deceased, he would have called an ambulance or called the police, so how could he be in the mood to leave a message." ”

The Twilight Police Department pondered: "That's right, it should be the prisoner, it was the prisoner who pressed the message button after committing the murder." ”

Conan reminded, "So, why would the murderer do such a thing?"

"That's because I don't want anyone to find Mr. Sugimori's body," the Twilight Police Department pondered, "If someone calls and hears that it's a phone message, they won't come to him." ”

Conan reminded, "However, the key to the room is on the table, and the door is not locked." ”

Officer Takagi pondered, "Well, if you don't want others to find out that Mr. Sugimori is dead, I should lock the door." ”

"So," the Twilight Police Department blurted out, "the rest of the possibilities are the prisoners themselves." ”

"Leaving a message on the phone forged an alibi, so it is understandable why the prisoner did not lock the door. "If the body is found late, the estimated time of death will become inaccurate, and the alibi, which has been forged so easily, will be useless." ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "Okay, then hurry up and hear what this message is." ”

"Wait, police department," Officer Takagi hurriedly said, fearing that the twilight police department would mess up, "just in case, let's listen while recording, so that you can listen to it repeatedly, otherwise if you accidentally delete it, it will be a big trouble." ”

The Twilight Police Department laughed dryly, "That's right. ”

Officer Takagi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll call the forensic staff to bring the recording equipment." ”

The matter came to an end, and Conan returned to the team, only to find that Mr. Kobayashi's gaze was very strange.

Gray Yuan whispered: "As soon as you encounter an incident, you can't control it." ”

Conan smiled dryly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Gray Yuan whispered angrily: "You are too ostentatious, Officer Takagi and Officer Twilight are already immune to your ability, and this is the first time for Mr. Kobayashi." ”

Conan reacted, and couldn't help but peek at Mr. Kobayashi to the side, and saw that she was still staring, and sweated for a while.

Gray Plains whispered, "Follow your old way." ”

Conan was puzzled, "What?"

Gray Yuan laughed and said, "Garlic, ah, it's weird, whatever." ”

"......" Conan was speechless.

Gray Yuan whispered: "You should understand, if your detective style is known by more people, sooner or later it will reach their ears." ”

Conan whispered, "I know, I didn't plan to say anything more about this interview. ”

"Needless to say, it doesn't work at all. Gray Plains whispered, "Why did he find us?

"He's actually for Uncle Maori, and through us, he's going to take on Maori detectives. Conan whispered.

"He's borrowing the name of a Maori detective. "But you have to know that he can find us as a freelance writer, and the organization can definitely find us, but we are still in their blind spots." ”

"I'm ......," Conan was speechless.

"You, no, we've been in the limelight a lot," Gray Yuan whispered, "Now the Internet is getting more and more developed, in case you become a hit-through rate one day, your and I photos and materials will be hung on the web page for others to view, and then do you think, we won't be discovered by the organization? Impossible, it's just sooner or later." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll be careful in the future. Conan whispered.

"By the way," the Twilight Police Department came over, "Mr. Kobayashi, do you know this Mr. Sugimori, is he really a popular copywriter?"

"Yes. Mr. Kobayashi said, "When Mr. Sugimori came to the school, he himself said that he had been very popular recently. ”

"That's strange," the Dusk Police Department pondered, "in that case, he should have lived in a better place, could he be talking about it?" ”

Conan couldn't help it, so he reminded in a childlike tone: "Ah, Uncle Sugimori has a particularly interesting key on his belt, and look, there is a silver horse on it, he must be very fond of animals." ”

"It's rude. Gray Yuan couldn't help it, said hello, covered his mouth and snickered.

"That's the key to the Ferrari. "Officer Takagi is here.

"Oh, is that a supercar?" the Twilight Police Department confirmed.

Officer Takagi was speechless and changed the subject, "Maybe Mr. Sugimori is poor because of his car, and there are people who live in poverty for the sake of a famous car." ”

The Twilight Police Department frowned and said, "Well, judging from the fact that he left the room key alone, he seems to be a vain guy. ”

"By the way, the police department, the message is already ready to listen. ”

"Oh, let's go listen to it. ”

The Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi went to leave a message, and Mitsuhiko and Motota began to denounce Conan, but Ayumi liked it.

"Hey, Conan, what's going on with that just now?"

"It's because of your attitude that we will be treated inappropriately by adults, don't do that in the future. ”

"I feel pretty cute, and a little coquettish. ”

Conan smiled bitterly in his heart, the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi, Kobayashi Sensei, Gray Plains, Mitsuhiko and Motota, Ayumi, it was impossible to meet everyone's conditions at the same time. ……
