Wednesday, August 11th, on the plane, Ran's dreamland, on the plane to Los Angeles.

Hearing Stewardess A say that Edward does not speak Chinese, Officer Chosuke Takagi asks Stewardess A to ask Edward what he is doing in Japan.

Stewardess A asks Edward, who then says that Edward has come to Japan to buy art, but finds that he is not satisfied.

"Art?" said Officer Chosuke Takagi with a smile, "Mr. Edward, you have to find a good reason to lie, do you understand the value of buying Japanese art if you don't know Japanese? ”

"Okay, I'm convinced. "I did go in, but he had an accident. ”

"Then why aren't you silent?" asked the Twilight Police Department.

"I have my assignment. Edward said.

"Mission?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "can you know what it is, and what your profession is?"

"Well," Edward said after a moment's thought, "well, I'm a detective, and I'm here to buy a negative of the photo. ”

"Photo!" Tachikawa Chizuru asked in surprise, "Is that the one?"

"You did that too?" Saginuma asked.

"I won't admit it. Edward said.

"Everyone, please speak clearly. The Dusk Police Department said.

"A member of the U.S. House of Lords was filmed dating a woman in your country. "It's nothing like this kind of lace journalism, but this gentleman's wife, you know, hired me to buy the negatives." ”

"What to buy, you simply broke into the big eagle's apartment. "Turned it over." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying, I don't know what you're talking about. Edward said with a shrug.

"Damn. "Officer, he must have done the attack on the ocean." ”

"It's not me, I'm just a detective, not a killer. Edward said to the Twilight Police Department, and then to Saginuma Sheng, "Shut up for me, and if you talk nonsense, I'll sue you for insulting my reputation." ”

"Huh?" Saginuma was startled and stopped talking.

"So, Mr. Edward, what have you done?" asked the Dusk Police Department, "have you moved his body?"

"He was lying on his lap, so he helped him up. Edward said.

"I see. Officer Chosuke Takagi said, "Blood gushing from his head ran down his cheeks. ”

"I searched him, rummaged through his pockets, and wiped his pockets and the buttons of his clothes with a water-soaked tissue. Edward said.

"Are you afraid of leaving fingerprints?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "So, did you find the negative?"

"Nope. "Not at all." ”

"You're lying, I saw the eagle put the negative on him. Chizuru Tachikawa said.

"I saw this too, so I searched for it. Edward said, "But I didn't find it." ”

"Wait a minute," Officer Chosuke Takagi asked, "Have you been paying attention to Mr. Otaka?"

"Occasionally. Edward said, "I sit in front of them on the left, and I can't keep an eye on them. ”

Officer Chosuke Takagi asked, "So, how long after Mr. Otaka went to the bathroom, and why are you sure that Mr. Otaka was still there at that time?" ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't care about the time before, but then I took a nap, so I couldn't be sure of the exact time. "I just saw that he wasn't in his seat and thought something might have happened to him, so go and see, it's the detective's intuition." ”

"I have an eye on the time. Kudo Shinichi said, "Mr. Otaka was in the bathroom about two hours ago, Ms. Amano went in less than ten minutes after him, Ms. Amano stayed in for about ten minutes before leaving, and after that, ...... after"

"What happened after that?" asked the Twilight Police Department.

"After that, I was confused for a moment, not caring about the time. Thinking of the situation at that time, Ran's face suddenly leaned over, Kudo Shinichi blushed unconsciously, and continued, "Anyway, after that, Mr. Edward, a few minutes later, Miss Tachikawa, and then Mr. Edward came out, and a few minutes later, Miss Tachikawa also came out." Finally, there was Mr. Ukai, who led the stewardess shortly after entering. Then he asked, "By the way, Miss Tachikawa, haven't you met Mr. Edward?"

"Nope. "But I pushed the door of the private room, but someone got stuck to it from the inside, so I went to the private room next to it." ”

Miki Amano said: "So, there shouldn't have been an accident with Kazuyo at that time. ”

"Sorry, I was in there. Edward said.

"So, the time of the crime is the time before Mr. Edward went in. The Dusk Police Department said, "Amano-san, please tell me about your situation at the time." ”

"I opened the door and found that the door was locked, so I went to the next room. Miki Amano said.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Amano-sama, Tachikawa-sama, and Saginuma-sama, haven't you noticed that Mr. Otaka is not in his seat?"

"No, Chizuru and I are in the front row of Wayo and Saginuma. Miki Amano said.

"I didn't care. Chizuru Tachikawa said.

"I don't know, I've been sleeping. Saginuma said.

"You're lying, I saw that you weren't in the seat. Ukai said.

"You've drunk too much. Saginuma said.

"By the way, you ask the stewardess. Tsuneo Ukai pointed to stewardess C and said, "She was next to me, and the row of seats was empty. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ukai, but you may have read it wrong. Stewardess C said, "The row of seats behind Mr. Saginuma and Mr. Otaka is empty. ”

"I'll just say it. Saginuma laughed.

Officer Chosuke Takagi said, "Twilight, the negatives and the murder weapon are not at the scene, and it is obviously impossible to search the entire plane, but a few of them ......"

"Alright," said the Twilight Police Department after a moment's thought, "Mr. Edward, if Mr. Ukai doesn't mind, can we let us check the luggage of both of you and search you." ”

Edward and Tsuneo Ukai agreed, but the search turned out to be none, and the luggage, the Twilight Police Department and Officer Chosuke Takagi groped every inch and found no long pointed items.

"Looks like this kid must have read it wrong. Saginuma looked at Kudo Shinichi and said, "It must be this kid who is lying, what keeps staring at the front of the bathroom, what is confused, it's all this kid's nonsense." ”

"Shinichi. Lan shouted worriedly.

"No, the boy shouldn't be lying, it must be his companion leaning on him, and he didn't want to disturb his companion, so he had to keep his posture motionless. Edward laughed, "Later, my companion turned his face crooked, so he lost his mind, which is normal." ”

"Ahh

At this time, the phone in the plane near the toilet rang, and the stewardess A went to answer the phone, and when she returned, she notified the Twilight Police Department that she could land in about 20 minutes.

"Why don't you search Miss Amano and Miss Tachikawa?" said Kudo Shinichi, "If the offender stuns the victim, even a woman can commit the crime." ”

"Stungeon?" said the Twilight Police Department laughed, "There's no way you can bring this on a plane." ”

"No, not necessarily. "I can smell it, but I'm not sure, and as for how, I saw a wet paper towel bag in the dumpster at the site......"

"I see that. Officer Chosuke Takagi said to the Twilight Police Department, "If it's the kind of paper towel that absorbs water but doesn't break, it can be used as a handkerchief." ”

"Will you wash the smell and residue off the pouch with water after that?" said the Twilight Police Department, "So, Miss Amano, Miss Tachikawa, can you have these three flight ladies check your body?" ”

"Why do I want to?" said Tachikawa Chizuru, "if this Edward is innocent, then I should be innocent too." ”

"Because you can go again after committing a crime to make an alibi. Officer Chosuke Takagi said.

"Oh well. Chizuru Tachikawa said, and then went to get the luggage with Miki Amano, took the luggage of himself and Miki Amano from the suitcase above the seat and handed it to the Twilight Police Department, and then went to another private room with the three flight attendants to be searched.

The Twilight Police Department and Officer Chosuke Takagi thoroughly searched Miki Amano and Chizuru Tachikawa's luggage, but only found a sewing kit in Miki Amano's luggage.

"If the needle is spoken, will the murder weapon still be in his head? Edward said.

"But the negatives are not there. Officer Chosuke Takagi said.

"Maybe she's separated. Kudo Shinichi said to the Twilight Police Department, "Police Department, I think it is not only the luggage of the two of them that needs to be searched, but also the luggage of their companions, Mr. Otaka and Mr. Saginuma. ”

"Me?" Saginuma said immediately, "Why should I let you check, that kid said he didn't see me go to the bathroom." ”

"Because if these two young ladies are prisoners, they will probably put something in your luggage. Edward said, then asked, "But your reaction, is there anything in your luggage that can't see the light?"

"No, no," Saginuma said, "just ......," continued, "well, I'll get it." As he spoke, he glared at Kudo Shinichi fiercely.

At this time, the three flight attendants and Miki Amano and Chizuru Tachikawa came over, and the three flight attendants said the results of the inspection, and no abnormalities were found.

At this time, Saginuma brought Otaka and Yoko and his own luggage, "Let me first state that I also have a negative, which I took with Otaka while taking the location, and it is indeed my own." He then took a negative from his luggage and handed it to the Twilight Police Department.

Officer Chosuke Takagi asked, "Is this true?Miss Amano, Miss Tachikawa, do you know about this?"

"I don't know. Miki Amano said, "I only know that Kayo has a copy, and he often shows it off and says that he can sell it for a good price." ”

Officer Chosuke Takagi asked, "Do many people know about the fact that he has negatives?"

"I've heard him talk to a lot of photographers. "He is also a freelance photographer who has won a photography award from the Nikiuri Shimbun. ”

"Not only that, but he also sent a few washed photos to my client's home, and luckily my client saw them. "That's why I made this trip." ”

After reading the negative, the Twilight Police Department thought for a moment and handed it to Edward, "Mr. Edward, can you confirm who the person on it is?"

"I'll see. "Maybe it's my client, but I can't tell if it's the same negative." After saying that, he returned the negatives to the Twilight Police Department.

"Hey, hey, it's really mine. Saginuma said hurriedly.

"Well, then, how about selling it to me, Mr. Saginuma?" Edward laughed, "you must have brought this negative to Los Angeles to sell it, and I can make a price that satisfies you." ”

"Ahem!" said the Dusk Police Department, "Mr. Edward, your suspicions are not cleared yet. ”

"Oh well. Edward wrote a phone number to Saginuma Sheng, "Call me when you're free." ”

At this time, the phone near the bathroom rang, and Stewardess A went to answer the phone.

"Now, let me ask you a question. Kudo Shinichi whispered a few words in Ran's ear.

"Huh?" Lan's face flushed, "You—why do you ask, ask about such a thing?"

"I'm embarrassed to ask that kind of question. Kudo Shin said with a red face, and continued, "Hurry up, it's very important." ”

"Important?" Lan said after a moment's thought, "Most of them should be like this. ”

"I see. Kudo laughed, "I see. ”

"I see, what the hell have you figured it out?" Lan asked.

At this time, the stewardess A is back, and there are about ten minutes to land, so please return to your seats.

"Then please come back to your seats. The Dusk Police Department said to Stewardess A, "After the plane lands, please don't open the door yet. ”

"Understood. Stewardess A said.

"Wait, Dusk Police, please give me five minutes, just five minutes. Kudo Shinichi smiled, "I already know who the prisoner is." ”

"Five minutes?" the Twilight Police Department looked at Stewardess A.

"Ten minutes is fine. Stewardess A smiled, "There will be an announcement before landing." ”……
