Sunday, March 3rd, evening.

At the same time as the first night festival in Saitama Prefecture, Mr. Imatake was shot dead at the hotel where he was staying. The suspect, Mr. Sei Shinichi, provided a set of photographs purportedly taken this evening in an attempt to prove his innocence. However, there were only seven photos in this set, so Conan and Yamazaki immediately discovered the problem. However, the murderer was not immediately revealed, because Yamazaki proposed to let Ran and Sonoko try, so Conan and Yamazaki waited slowly at the scene.

By the time Sei found a neat stack of manuscript paper from the overturned box and sent Yamada as editors, Ran and Sono's game of finding mistakes had also entered its final stage.

Yamazaki chuckled, "They cooperated well just now, now it's our turn." ”

"Almost," Conan whispered, "let's get started." ”

Yamazaki asked, "Hey, you just saw the toothbrush?"

"See," replied Conan, "he must be brushing his teeth." ”

"That's weird. Yamazaki said.

"yes, yes. Conan said, "It's so rude." ”

"Alright. Yamazaki whispered again, "I'll leave the rest to Uncle Maori." ”

"Hmm. Conan whispered, "I'll remind him later." ”

Seeing that Yamada was gone, Mr. Sei said, "Officer, you heard me, so I have to rush home to work, and this is also for the sake of Imatake, who was unfortunately killed by the thief." Sorry, I'll go back first. So saying, he walked out.

"Wait a minute, please. Officer Yokogou immediately stopped him.

"Found it. Yuan laughed, "It's so easy. Then he said, "Mr. Sei, you lied. So in this room, the murderer who shot Tomo Imtake is you, Seiichi Shinichi. ”

"What?" Maori, who was standing in the doorway, immediately walked towards Ran in the room.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" shouted Mr. Sei, "this is a robbery case. ”

Yuanzi said: "This is a case committed by an acquaintance, and the evidence is the toothpaste that was stained on the victim's mouth, and the toothbrush was also dropped nearby, that is, the victim was brushing his teeth before being killed." ”

Mr. Sei said, "What do you mean by that, anyone can brush their teeth, don't you?"

Lan said: "Normally, there will be no such thing, just take a toothbrush and toothpaste in your mouth, and go out to open the door to greet people you don't know." Then he pointed to the flaw in the photo and said to Maori who walked to the side, "Dad, look." ”

"And," said the garden, "if it weren't for you, how would you have been able to find the manuscript papers accurately, and why they were so neat that they hadn't been turned out." ”

"This, this," said Mr. Sei, "may not have seen it." ”

Yamazaki asked in a strange whisper, "Is this what you said?"

"No," Conan whispered, "she must have thought of it herself." ”

After taking the photo, Mori immediately noticed the problem, and then said, "Mr. Sei, can you please explain what happened to the marks on your wrists?" ”

"Ahh Mr. Sei immediately covered his wrist in surprise.

Officer Yokogou immediately rolled up his sleeves and compared them with the photo Maori had given him.

Pointing to the photo, Yuan Zi smiled and said, "This photo should have been taken by you before." ”

At this time, Yamazaki asked the witnesses, "How long did it take for you to hear the gunshots before you saw people coming out?" ”

The eyewitness immediately said: "Less than ten seconds." ”

Ten seconds? Looking at the scene, Mori said, "Mr. Sei, this is the scene you set up in advance, and you did it deliberately to make it look like a robbery case." Do you think it is possible for the murderer to make such a mess of the room in such a short period of time when the shots rang out? Mr. Sei, you set up the scene while Mr. Imatake was brushing his teeth, then stood at the door to lure Mr. Imtake over, then shot Mr. Imatake, took the money from his wallet and ran out of the hotel, then threw away the gun and coat in the nearby river, and then drove to the night festival venue. ”

As Mori began to speak, behind him, Conan whispered, "Brother Yamazaki, isn't he hot? His head is sweating, can't he take off his coat?"

Yamazaki replied in a whisper, "He must have a reason why he can't take it off." ”

Hearing the conversation behind him, Mori continued, "Mr. Sei, the original picture in the camera was taken when you came to this festival in the past. You keep the camera as it is, and you find someone to take a picture of it to this day, so you create the illusion of continuity. And when you were at the venue, you refused to take off your clothes even if you were sweating profusely, just to wear the clothes you used to wear, and in order not to make you different from the previous ones in the photo, so you forged an alibi. Immediately after saying that, he burst out laughing.

"Mr. Maori, you are amazing. Officer Yokomizo exclaimed, and then asked, "Mr. Shijing, what else do you have to say?"

At this time, five police officers who had gone out to look for clues with five other sets of photos called.

One of them reported that the owner of a small shop had met Mr. Sei there last year but not this year. Because he was very dark-skinned but he was wearing white clothes, and he was wearing a different formal suit, he had some impressions.

Another report says that the shops in the background of the photo have been changed, which is from last year.

There is another report that the style and number of lanterns this year are different from those in the photo, which is from last year.

There was also a report that someone recognized the person in the background of the photo, who did not come to the venue this year.

The last report said that after searching for the film according to the angle of the film, no one had ever seen Mr. Sei.

Officer Yokogou laughed and said, "Mr. Shijing, you don't have anything to say now." ”

"I'm throwing in the towel, officer. "A year ago, I decided to kill Tomotake Ima because I wanted to stand at the top of the literary world in his place. That's right, a year ago, the theme serialization of "Literary Times" decided to publish my work. However, the editorial department suddenly changed again, insisting that it must use the works of Imatake, which was inserted halfway, just because Imatake's fame is relatively loud. For me, that serialization was my last chance to gamble with my life, and that guy snatched my chance like he mocked me. ”

Officer Henggou said, "So you killed him." ”

"Yes, I killed Imatake. Mr. Sei admitted.

"Then please come with us. As he spoke, Officer Henggou handcuffed him and asked him to take him away.

Walking to the door, Mr. Shijing stopped, and then did not look back, and said with some loss: "Two young ladies, the work that Imatake won the Naomoto Award is indeed a story that the two of them came up with together when I was co-writing with Imatake in the past. At this point, he sighed before continuing, "Forget it, no one will believe me if it's like this now." ”

"Ahh

Seeing this, Yuan Zi immediately said, "Lan, don't be deceived by him. Then he said aloud, "Even if what you say is true, but look at you now, do you look like a writer? Do you think you are still a person who can sit down and write seriously? You are no longer a writer, and you have no right to blame others for being half-hearted." ”

"Garden. Lan said with some emotion.

"Perhaps, you are right. Mr. Sei bowed his head and walked out.

"That's right," Yamazaki laughed, "I can't see it." ”

Lan smiled: "Yes, Yuanzi, you are so powerful." ”

"No, I'm no longer a garden," Sonoko said seriously, "From today on, I'm Sonoko Suzuki, a female high school student." Then he laughed, "Ahh......h

Conan whispered, "I don't think we've done anything wrong." ”

"Wouldn't that be great," Yamazaki laughed, "and I could make a stand-in in the future." Then he asked, "Do you speak in a girl's voice?"

"You guy. Conan said and gave Yamazaki a pair of triangular eyes.

At this time, the police began to withdraw, and Officer Yokogou smiled: "So, ...... Maori detectives"

"Okay," Maori said, "Yamazaki ......"

Yamazaki laughed, "We were still staying at the same hotel before. ”

"Alright," Maori said, "Officer Yokogou, let's go." With that, he walked away with Officer Henggou.

"Then let's go," Yamazaki laughed, "Conan went and called Maidako." ”……

At night, in the hotel that Yuanzi booked, while eating supper, Yuanzi told Mei Daizi what happened just now, of course, his performance and reasoning were highlighted.

After listening, while eating, Mei Daizi asked, "Hey, you're becoming a famous detective?"

"Of course. Sonoko smiled, "So, please call me in the future, Detective for Girls High School Students, Sonoko Suzuki." ”

"Well, that's a bad name," said Mei Daizi, "or I'll pick one for you, and I'll call it ......."

"Don't," said Yuanzi hurriedly, "I'll think of it myself, I don't need your help." ”

"Oh well. Mei Daiko said, "If you think about it, you must tell me." ”

"Definitely. The garden answered. ……

Early the next morning, the six Maori were escorted by the enthusiastic police officer Henggou and boarded the return train. One seat has four seats facing each other, with Mori and Ran sitting in one seat with Conan, and Yamazaki and Sonoko sitting in the seat across the aisle with Maidiko.

Standing outside the car, Officer Yokogou smiled: "Detective Maori, thank you so much last night, what a perfect reasoning." ”

"Prisoner, Shijing. Maori, who was sitting by the window, held his chin and said, then stuck his head out of the window and smiled, "By the way, isn't this going to be an 'assortment' incident......?" Hah" laughed.

"Ahh......h Then, seeing that Maori's laughter was getting louder and stronger, Officer Henggou ordered, "Be louder." The police's laughter immediately rose to a higher level, and Maori's laughter was immediately drowned out.

Midaiko asked, "What are they laughing at?"

Yuan Zi said, "I don't know, I didn't hear it. ”

"Don't look at me," Yamazaki laughed, "I don't know either." ”

This competition lasted until the train started, and he looked at the departing train, wiped his sweat, and said to Officer Yokomizo: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the famous detective Mori Kogoro, and one person can be more than so many of us." ”

In the car, Lan asked, "Dad, what are you laughing at?"

"How do I know, I'm just telling a joke, trying to liven up the atmosphere, who knew they liked it so much, I had to laugh with them. Maori said, "By the way, Lan, go back and buy me some throat lozenges, I have a sore throat." ”

The five Yamazaki immediately laughed, and Lan smiled: "Really, I don't know the point of moderation." ”

"Of course you can't lose momentum," Mori said, "I'm Detective Mori Kogoro." Ahem, okay, let's not talk about it, remember to buy it when you get out of the car. ”

The five of Yamazaki laughed even harder, and Lan smiled: "Yes, yes, I know, my detective Mori Kogoro-sama." ”……
