Chapter 0890: Persuasion in the Hotel
Saturday, March 3rd, evening, one room at the K3 Hotel near Global Studios in this flower ward, Osaka.
Conan took Recadis here with a soccer ball, waited for Recadis to come in, closed the door and stood still, and looked straight at Recadis, "Do you know what you did?
"Oh, little friend, what are you talking about?" asked Recadis.
"There was a murder in this newly opened hotel tonight, the deceased was Ed McCann, a journalist, and he was not welcome to you, but there was an invitation from you, and you were going to turn off the lights and do a scrabble game, and he didn't turn on the lights in the room, apparently it was agreed in advance by the person who asked him to meet, and that person was obviously your insider, or one of the three of you," Conan said. ”
Recadis was surprised and asked, "Oh, kid, do you know what you're talking about?"
Conan said: "There were a total of twelve suspects left in the building when the shots rang out, and the deceased Ed McCann left a death message, number eight, the number of your jersey. ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" said Recadis, "it must have been a misunderstanding, I was in the room when the gunshots rang out, and the murderer couldn't have been me." ”
Conan said, "Yes, you were in the room when the gunshot rang out, but the deceased Ed McCann was not killed when the gunshots rang out, but more than ten seconds ago. ”
"What!" said Recadis in surprise.
"Ed McCann was a journalist, and when he met with the guy he was with, he placed a camcorder on the ceiling and the camcorder filmed his murder," Conan said. ”
Recadis asked, "What's in there?"
"A murderer in a raincoat shot Ed McCann, and the sound was not loud indicating that there was a silencer on the gun, and it was he who posed Ed McCann as the police at the scene saw him," Conan said. ”
Recadis laughed, "That's great, it shows that I'm being blamed." ”
Conan said: "Ten seconds later, the second gunshot rang out in the building, that is, the murderer did not escape in these ten seconds, but stayed in the building to create a second gunshot. ”
Recadis said: "It could also be that the murderer found a timed playback device. ”
"Playing devices?" Conan said, "the police didn't find any playback devices that recorded gunshots. ”
Recadis said, "Maybe it's automatic elimination." ”
"yes, auto-elimination. "If nothing is found, that's the only possibility." But now, I've found this. He flipped his hand to the ground and kicked Recadis at it, "This is it." ”
Rekadis grabbed the ball, but it cracked and a bag of things fell out, causing Rekadis to change his face drastically.
"The murderer's raincoat, and the muffler. Conan exclaimed with rage, "Rekadis, do you still want to quibble!"
"Oh, this," Rekadis smirked, "I don't know when these things got into this ball, kid, you've done the police a great favor, they're going to reward you." ”
Conan said with some pleading, "Turn yourself in, Ray, go and turn yourself in." ”
Recadis said, "No, no, no, little friend, you are mistaken, I did not do this. ”
Conan said: "There is evidence, in your mobile phone, although you deleted the recording of the gunshot, but the data can still be recovered." ”
"You ......" Rekadis' face turned pale, and he took a deep breath, "Kid, have you told anyone about it?"
Conan asked disappointedly, "Ray, are you asking this question with the intention of killing me here?"
Recadis was stunned for a moment, "No, how could it be?"
Conan said, "Turn yourself in to the police, Ray." ”
"If I'm arrested, my fans and my family will be sad, and you're a fan of mine, aren't you? ”
Conan was silent for a moment, then said gloomily, "It's what makes me the saddest thing to hear you say that, Ray. ”
"Recal, recal?" said Recadis.
"What the hell are you doing this for, Ray?" asked Conan, "is it because of Ed's report that you're drugged? You don't have any narcotics now, are you? Why?"
"I quit. Recadis said.
"What?" Conan suspected.
Recadis said: "Many of Ed's reports seem to outsiders to be chasing after the wind and making news, but what he said is actually true, but there is no way to prove the truth is fake in the eyes of fans, if he has been creating fake news, then he would have been fired by his superiors, and Michael Group's Biya Broadcasting Company will never tolerate such people." ”
Conan was taken aback, "Are you really drugged?"
"It's true, there will be no punishment for this kind of thing if you don't find it out, but that was before, my next boss sent someone to help me quit, or force me to quit. "A few years ago, I was dragged down by my fox friends and I was really drugged, and Ed once showed it when he interviewed the team, and he exposed it, and after checking it, I was banned. The incident attracted a lot of media attention, and there were reporters everywhere I went, and my wife at the time, who was already depressed, committed suicide. ”
Conan asked, "You did this because of your ex-wife?"
"Yes, for my ex-wife, who also has 3 K's in her name, this hotel also represents her, where she can see everything I have done for her. "I couldn't wait any longer after the hotel was built, so I asked Ed over as an informant who betrayed the privacy of me, Ricaru, and Mike. ”
"Do you think she'll be happy?" Conan asked, "do you think she'll be happy that you killed?"
Recadis was silent for a moment, then said gloomily, "I don't know. ”
"No matter how unfortunate something happens to you, you must not do something foul, it will only get you a red card," Conan said. ”
Recadis was silent for a moment, then laughed, "You're right, little friend. Then he laughed at himself, "Ha, I'm such a terrible player, it's time to get out of the game." ”
Conan asked, "Have you decided to turn yourself in to the police?"
"Yes. Recadis said, and then asked, "You are special, little friend, what is your name?"
Conan smiled: "Conan, Edogawa Conan, I'm a detective. ”
Recadis asked, "Detective?"
"Detective. Conan said.
Recadis laughed, "I remember you, my detective fan. After that, he picked up the items on the ground and walked out of the door, found Yamazaki and Hattori standing in the doorway, nodded to them, and left.
Yamazaki and Hattori entered the room, and one of them patted Conan on the shoulder, and then Hattori went to see Recadis turn himself in, and Yamazaki went back to the private room of the restaurant, leaving Conan here alone to be quiet. ……
Private dining room in the restaurant.
Maori was drinking, and Meidaiko, Sonoko, Ran, and Ye were chatting, and when they saw Yamazaki coming over, Maori asked how the incident was, and Ha and Ran asked about Hattori and Conan.
"Recadis just went to the police and turned himself in. Yamazaki said, "Ask Hattori tomorrow." ”
"Is it really him?" the four of Mei Daiko were taken aback.
Maori said: "What is there to be surprised, I said it was him." ”
Lan asked worriedly, "Conan, is he okay?"
"It's going to be fine. Yamazaki said.
Yuanzi said: "Okay, since the incident is resolved, let's go back to the room, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow." ”……
That night, Maori and his group of eight stayed at the hotel with many of the guests who had come to the party. ……
