Sunday, June 9, morning.

In the fifteen-story building of Eiko Toya's clothing company, the president of Toya took one of the three elevators, and the elevator on the left, which went straight to the fifteenth floor, went upstairs not long after he took this elevator down again.

Yuan Zi and Lan in the rest area immediately greeted him, and Maori and Conan, who had just washed their hands, also came up.

However, the president of Toya did not look for them, but hurried to the front desk and asked Mr. Eda, the security guard on duty, to accompany her to see her secretary, Miss Mika Taniguchi, because she called Miss Mika's mobile phone from the president's office, but no one answered.

Conan whispered to himself, "Why are you so nervous, but no one answered the mobile phone." ”

However, it seems that something did happen, because the elevator that Miss Taniguchi took in the middle went straight to the eighth floor, and the elevator that stopped on every floor after that stopped stopped on the eighth floor, and she pressed the button and did not respond. So, everyone took the elevator on the right that could be stopped at will, and Yamazaki and Midaiko, who were bored, saw that there might be something going on, so they came over to join in the fun.

When I got to the eighth floor, I just got out of the elevator door, and the president of Toya only glanced at it, and immediately sat down on the ground screaming, and Yamazaki, who had not yet stepped out of the elevator, immediately asked Midaiko to call an ambulance.

Mori went out to take a look, Miss Taniguchi was stabbed in her left chest, lying on her back at the elevator door, her upper body was outside, her lower body was inside, and the elevator door couldn't be closed, so of course she couldn't run.

Mori immediately wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the president of Toya, who was sitting on the ground, because she noticed shoe prints on the ground while she was sitting on the ground.

Stepping out of the elevator and glancing at Miss Taniguchi, Yamazaki walked straight over.

"Yamazaki, what are you doing?" asked Maori immediately.

"Uncle Maori, you don't even know if this man is dead," Yamazaki said, "I want to make sure." ”

"Uh......" Mori was speechless for a moment, so he asked the others to wait and went to confirm with Yamazaki.

Touching Miss Taniguchi's neck, Mori said, "It's dead." ”

Squatting down to take a closer look at Miss Taniguchi's injuries, Yamazaki smiled, "Midaiko, come here." ”

"What for?" said Midaiko and walked over.

"Here, give her a treat. Yamazaki stood up and laughed.

"Huh?" Mori, who had just stood up, was taken aback, but before she could stop it, Midaiko had already moved, no, moved her feet, and kicked the deltoid muscle of Miss Taniguchi's right arm against the shoulder, causing Miss Taniguchi's body to shake slightly.

Mori froze as she tried to get angry, because Taniguchi coughed up a mouthful of blood, then coughed a few times and passed out.

"She should have stopped beating just now, held her breath and faked her death. Yamazaki explained, "Even if you save her, she will only be in a vegetative state, and if you do, because the knife is inserted in the chest, it may also touch the heart, in which case, if you are not careful, it will be a heavy hemorrh......age."

"Mr. Eda, hurry up and call an ambulance. Touching Taniguchi's neck and wiping the blood from her mouth with her hand, President Toya asked, "How is she now?"

"The ambulance has been called. "I've called the police too." ”

"Now it's up to her luck, maybe in a vegetative state. Yamazaki laughed, "It may also bleed excessively......"

"Yamazaki," Sonoko asked, "how do you know she's not dead?"

"If it's directly inserted into the heart, the bleeding is too little. Yamazaki laughed, "The ribs are not fake, and in terms of the chest, women are naturally more capable than men." ”

Looking at the elevator door, which was still holding Miss Taniguchi one by one, President Toya said, "Mr. Eda, could you please jam the door from the inside?" As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the button.

The president of Toya rubbed his thumb on the button, and Conan thought to himself, what is this for.

Looking at the footprints that President Toya said earlier, a series of footprints walked through the front of the three elevators from the safety exit, then turned back to the door of the middle elevator, and then returned to the safety exit near the elevator on the left, Mori said, "In my opinion, I am afraid that it is the dust inside the safety staircase, and someone came up from the staircase and stepped on the dust inside." ”

President Toya said, "It must be that the robbers tried to break into the empty door, ran in and found Miss Mika, and stabbed her to death." ”

Conan thought to herself, and she came to confirm if she couldn't get through, as if she had known that this was going to happen.

"Robbers, killers. Yamazaki smiled, "The stride distance between the steps coming in and going out is too balanced, and after stabbing someone, leave without hurrying." And, the words of the robbers, the bag in the elevator, strange ......"

"What's weird?" asked Maori.

The garden said, "The robber should take the bag away." ”

"It's the position," Conan said, "you see, on the right side of her body. ”

"yes," said Ran, "Miss Taniguchi, like Miss Toya, is carrying a backpack on her left shoulder. ”

"That's normal," said Mori, "that Miss Taniguchi's bag fell off when she was assassinated, and she was supposed to fall backwards into the elevator, but she was unsteady on her feet, so she spun around and fell outside." The murderer saw her fall like this, and it was difficult to step over to get the bag, so he gave up. ”

"And her right shoulder," Conan said, "is wrinkled." ”

Yuanzi smiled: "That's Mei Daizi kicked, right?"

"That's wrinkled," said Midaiko, "and there's blood on it, so I didn't touch it." ”

"Another strange place," Yamazaki laughed, "how could there be blood on it?" ”

"Well," Maori said, "that's a real problem. ”……

A few minutes later, Miss Taniguchi was carried away, and the Twilight Police Department led the team.

The results of the investigation revealed that the shoe print was twenty-six centimeters, probably of a man's, and the shoe print ran from the first floor to the eighth floor and back to the first floor.

The emergency exit to the outside on the first floor was not locked, but security confirmed that it was locked two hours earlier, during the last round, and that only the president of Toya had entered and exited the building after that.

President Toya needed to investigate the information, so he entered the office about an hour ago, stayed in the president's office for about 30 minutes, and then went out through the gate and went outside for coffee.

The elevator that President Toya took went up to the fifteenth floor, and the elevator that Ms. Taniguchi took to the eighth floor, stopping on every floor from the ninth floor to the fifteenth floor.

President Toya took the elevator and then took the same elevator to get back to the first floor in less than three minutes.

Back on the first floor, Mori said, "Dusk Police, all of this is exactly what Miss Toya said, a crime committed by a robber when he broke through the empty door. The killer sneaked into the building after picking the lock on the emergency exit on the first floor from the outside, and then climbed the stairs to the eighth floor, and when he passed in front of the elevator on the eighth floor, he happened to meet Miss Taniguchi coming out, and the murderer immediately assassinated Miss Taniguchi, and then used the stairs to escape outside. ”

"Just when Miss Taniguchi came out, the murderer immediately assassinated Miss Taniguchi, and then used the stairs to escape outside. The Dusk Police Department ordered, "Alright, you guys immediately investigate the area around here." Then he said to President Toya, "Also, Miss Toya, we need to collect your fingerprints, so please cooperate." ”

President Toya asked, "Mr. Officer, do you mean that I am also a murderer?"

"No," the Twilight Police Department laughed, "we're here to find the fingerprints of a different killer than yours." ”

"Basically, you can't be suspicious," Maori laughed, "don't worry." ”

"Why can't she be a murderer?" asked Conan.

"You idiot," Mori said aloud, "do you know that Miss Toya and Miss Taniguchi took two different elevators up at the same time, and Miss Taniguchi was stabbed as soon as she reached the eighth floor, when Miss Toya was on the fifteenth floor, and there was no elevator to the eighth floor, and the elevator on the right was on the first floor, and three minutes was not enough, she took the elevator up to the fifteenth floor, then ran to the eighth floor, then back to the fifteenth floor, and then took the elevator down. Then he asked, "You say, how can she on the fifteenth floor stab Miss Taniguchi on the eighth floor?"

Conan said: "However, suspicion cannot be completely ruled out. ”

A punch planted a mushroom in Conan's head, and Maori said, "Little ghost, don't interfere with this kind of professional work." ”

Lan shouted, "Dad, you don't need to hit anyone. ”

"Because every time I say it, it doesn't work. Maori exclaimed.

Holding Conan, who wanted to run, Yamazaki smiled: "On the fifteenth floor, we haven't checked it, maybe there is some special passage." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Miss Toya?"

"Yes. President Toya said immediately.

Mori, Yamazaki, and Conan went up with the Twilight Police Department and forensic officers. As a result of the investigation, there were pollen and petals on the carpet between the elevator on the left and the elevator on the eighth floor, which was sent by Mori, and the president of Toya had just brought it up, and she accidentally dropped it on the ground.

There are traces of adhesive tape on the elevator button that leads to the eighth floor in the middle, and the head of Toya doesn't know when.

Back on the first floor, just sat down, the forensic officer came to report that neither the murder knife nor the door on the first floor had fingerprints detected.

"In that case," asked Miss Toya, "may I go back, Mr. Officer, if I have something to do?"

"Alright," said the Dusk Officer, "that's it for today." ”

"So, Miss Lan, Miss Sonoko," said Miss Toya, "I'm sorry, we'll be fine for another day." ”

Conan whispered, "Yamazaki, it's my turn." ”

"Yes," Yamazaki asked with a chuckle, "but did you find any evidence?"

"Seeing that she wants to go back, then, that thing should be in her big bag. As he spoke, Conan used an anesthetic needle to put Maori, who was sitting on the sofa, to sleep. ……
