Sunday, April 9th, evening, International Trade Building, View Restaurant, Table 10.

Looking at Ran and Kudo, Kazuha asked in a puzzled whisper, "Although they are chatting while eating, why do I feel that the atmosphere is wrong?"

"It's kind of weird. Sonoko asked in a low voice, "Midaiko, is that thing you said true?"

Mei Daizi swallowed the food in her mouth and whispered, "My brother said that my mother said it." ”

"That can't be wrong," whispered the garden, "but it doesn't look like it now. ”

Kazuha asked in a low voice, "It can't be that Kudo is backing down, right?"

"Maybe he hasn't brewed it yet. Sonoko whispered, "By the way, Midaiko, can you hear me?"

"A little bit, incoherent. Mei Daiko whispered.

Hattori asked, "Hey, hey, what are you muttering?"

"It's nothing to do with you, eat your stuff. He Ye said angrily.

Table Seven.

Lan asked, "By the way, Shinichi, why did you come here with me for dinner?"

Kudo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lan, that, I actually have something I want to tell you." ”

"What?" Lan asked, confused.

Kudo blushed a little and said, "That ......"

At this moment, a faint scream was heard, followed by a burst of screams.

Kudo stood up, then hesitated, sat down again, and said with a dry smile, "Maybe I saw cockroaches." ”

Seeing Maori and Hattori leaving, Lan smiled: "Go, I'll wait for you here, I won't be like so-and-so, I'll just hide or run away here." ”

"I'm sorry. Kudo got up and ran, but was stopped as soon as he went out. ……

Table 10.

Hearing the screams, Mori laughed and said, "Ha, ha, it's finally time for my detective Mori Kogoro to appear again." With that, he ran away.

"I'm going to check it out, too. "Hattori is gone, too.

Mei Daizi asked funny, "Isn't it, this is another incident?"

Seeing Kudo stand up, Ashbara's heart also lifted, he couldn't go, he would be photographed by reporters, and then he sat down again, relieved, and then saw that he was gone again, and he was worried again.

Yamazaki noticed the anomaly of Ashbara and smiled, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

Seeing Kudo leave, Kazuha said, "Lan is really not even peaceful on the day of the proposal." ”

"Ahem, poof!" Dr. Asasa squirted the wine he had just drunk into his glass, "Ask, propose?"

"Yes, that table is where Mr. Yusaku and Miss Yukiko fell in love," said Sonoko, "and such a romantic thing was stirred up like this." ”

At this time, Oda Sakurako came over, greeted everyone present, and said, "Mr. Yamazaki, Haruko has already captured Mr. Kudo and is sending him back to the lounge to change clothes, and then I will send him back to Rice Flower Square." ”

"I see. Yamazaki said, "Then you can send Ranya over." Then he said to the others, "If you want to go over, go together, and we'll go back after we've solved the incident." With that, he left.

After that, Ran, Sonoko, Kazuba, Midako, Conan, and Dr. Asa leave with Oda Sakurako. ……

The scene, the staff elevator on the floor of the restaurant with a view.

Maori stood in front of the elevator to maintain order, and a middle-aged man collapsed in the elevator in disheveled clothes, with a small hole in the middle of his forehead.

Hattori looked at Yamazaki and asked suspiciously, "Are you the only one?"

Yamazaki said: "The reporter will be here soon, Kudo is a celebrity, not suitable for appearance, I asked him to send him, and the others back to Rice Flower Square." ”

"It's a pity, I still want to compare with him. Hattori said.

Yamazaki said: "The scene should be like this, the murderer is standing outside the elevator door with a gun and waiting, waiting for the elevator door to open and shoot and kill, and then let the elevator run up." ”

"The question is how the killer knew he was inside," Hattori said. ”

"And on what floor he was killed. Yamazaki said. ……

On the other side, Yamazaki's lounge.

With the permission of Haruko Oda, who was guarding outside, Dr. Asa took Conan into the break room, and then took out a box and handed it to Conan.

Soon after, Kudo came out of the room after changing his clothes, and when he saw that Gray Yuan was fiddling with a blood drawer, he immediately shuddered, "Do you want to draw blood again? Didn't you draw it in the morning?"

"It's been twelve hours. "I'll go to you tomorrow morning before you leave and have another blood draw." I'll teach you how to draw blood, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, and then you send me the blood sample, and then it depends on the situation. ”

"Isn't it?" Kudo said creepy.

Gray Yuan said expressionlessly: "Actually, you should take blood every hour today, and then ......"

"Stop, don't talk about it. Kudo rolled up his sleeves as if he were dead, "Come on." ”

After the blood draw, Ashbara put the blood drawer into the box and handed it to Dr. Asa to load. ……

On the other side, the scene.

Ten minutes after the police arrived, the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi led the team.

"Mao, Maori!" the Twilight Police Department puffed up its triangular eyes, "why are you here?" ”

"As it happens, it's a complete coincidence. Maori laughed dryly, "We're here for dinner." ”

"Really? That's a coincidence. The Twilight Police Department said angrily, then looked at the scene and said, "Elevator shooting, detective, it's really weird, I have a sense of déjà vu." ”

Yamazaki said, "Police, there was an incident here twenty years ago, if you do what you said, you may find a clue." ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "Then, Takagi, you call the person on duty to check." ”

"Yes, police department. "Officer Takagi went to call.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Who found the scene?"

Maori pointed to a building employee who wanted to use the elevator but found the scene when some guests passed by to prove he was telling the truth.

The deceased had no wallets or documents on him, but someone recognized the deceased as a president of the Tatsutai Advertising Agency, Tatsumi Taiji, whose office was in this building, and they were having a party on the banquet hall floor today.

The Twilight Police Department asked Officer Takagi to go down and inform them, and a moment later, a young woman called "Daddy" and ran over, accompanied by some other members.

Upon inquiry, the woman's name was Tatsumi Sakurako, the only daughter of the deceased. The last time the deceased was seen was a minister named Satoru Oba and his two subordinates Hamada and Yokoo at the Tatsutai Advertising Agency, on the banquet hall level, and it was the three of them who put Tatsumi Yasuji on the elevator.

According to them, there was a party to welcome the new mascot at the Tatsutai Advertising Agency tonight, and Tatsumi Taiji suddenly said that he was not feeling well before the party officially started and quit, saying that he wanted to go back to the company first and go home.

Satoru Oba, Hamada, and Yokoo sent the president Taiji Tatsumi to the elevator together, and when they were about to go back, they ran into Sakura Tatsumi, and she came to find Satoru Oba, so Hamada and Yokoo went back first, and then Sakurako Tatsumi and Satoru Oba chatted for a while.

Ballroom level, in front of the elevator hall.

Maori asked, "In that case, you were in front of this elevator at the time, so did you pay attention to which floor the elevator was parked on?" ”

Tatsumi Sakurako said, "I didn't pay attention to this. ”

"I didn't pay attention at first, but when I left, I took a look, and the number displayed on the elevator was the 40th floor where the restaurant with a view was located. ”

Hattori asked, "Sakurako-sama, it's your dad in the elevator, why didn't you pay attention?"

"I had just come from the store downstairs and didn't know my dad was inside. Tatsumi Sakurako said.

Maori asked, "You were in the store downstairs?"

Tatsumi Sakurako said, "Yes, when I came, I found that the pink pearl earrings from the Mimotogi Pearl Shop were very beautiful, and I bought a pair on a whim, which is the pair on my ears. ”

Hattori asked, "And how did you know that Mr. Oba was here?"

"It's a mobile phone. Tatsumi Sakurako said, "Mr. Oba informed me on a mobile phone that he had a gift for me. ”

Maori asked, "What is the gift?"

Sakurako Tatsumi said, "I'm wearing this pink pearl necklace right now. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Where did you go after that?"

Tatsumi Sakurako said, "Later, I went to the bathroom to touch up my makeup, and Mr. Oba also went, and he kept talking to me outside the bathroom. ”

Maori asked, "You're touching up because ......"

"Well, we kissed. Tatsumi Sakurako said.

"Well, the time of the incident is the time when you were standing in front of the elevator hall. The Dusk Police Department asked, "Excuse me, do you know what time it is?"

Tatsumi Sakurako said, "Between 7:55 p.m. and 8:05 p.m. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Sakurako Tatsumi said, "Because I heard the sound of the party salute after kissing, and the party started at eight o'clock sharp. And I also saw Mr. Oba's fluorescent watch, which was just after eight o'clock in the evening. ”

"Party salute?" asked Maori, "Police, has the murder weapon been found?"

The Twilight Police Department asked solemnly, "Do you suspect it's a pistol with a silencer?"

"Yes. Maori said.

Hattori asked Tatsumi Sakurako, "You just talked about fluorescent watches, was it dark at the time?"

Tatsumi Sakurako said, "Yes. ”

Hattori asked, "Then under what circumstances did you see the watch on Mr. Oba's left wrist?"

"He was touching my earrings with his left hand and saying he would give me a gift, a pink pearl necklace that matched my pink pearl earrings," says Tatsumi Sakurako. ”

"I see. Hattori laughed, and then asked, "Do you know what his right hand was doing at the time? Did he hold something?"

Tatsumi Sakurako said, "It was dark at the time, I don't know. ”

Hattori asked, "The lights aren't broken here, so they were dimmed on purpose?"

Hamada said, "Yes, that's what the president meant. ”

Hattori asked, "Do you know why?"

Yokoo said, "I don't know. ”

Hattori asked, "Then why did you turn it up again?"

Satoru Oba said, "Because the president is back, I don't think there's any need to darken it anymore." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Hattori, why are you asking these things?"

Hattori laughed, "Dim the lights so that Sakurako-sama can't see something." ”

Maori asked, "Is it a silenced pistol?"

"Not bad. Hattori asked Tatsumi Sakurako, "You must have had your back to the elevator door and closed your eyes, right?"

Sakurako Tatsumi said, "Yes, do you suspect Mr. Oba of killing my father? ”

Satoru Oba said, "Yes, and the president was about to leave at the time, how could the elevator stop here? Also, don't forget, the president is now disheveled, I think he must have been robbed." ”

"Robber?" Hattori said, "it can't be a robber, there's no way a robber can't be waiting at the elevator door with a gun, he doesn't know how many people will be in the elevator, and he doesn't know when someone will come." ”

"That's a good point. "What's the matter with Mr. Tatsumi's clothes?" ”

Hattori said, "His cuffs were also loosened, probably to change clothes." ”

"Changing clothes?" asked Maori, "in the elevator?"

Hattori said, "Today the club held a party to welcome the new mascot, and the president will definitely like the style of the mascot, so it's not a big deal to dress up as your favorite club mascot and have fun with the members." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "If that is the case, the elevator was left on this floor at that time?"

"Yes, so the time of death was at the beginning of the party salute, and the murderer deliberately used the party salute to cover up the sound of the silenced pistol shooting. Hattori said, "And in this way, dimming the lights can also be explained, it must be that Mr. Tatsumi wants to surprise the members of the club and let people see it when he doesn't want to pretend to be a mascot." ”

"It does make sense," Maori said. ”

Hattori smiled: "So the murderer is Mr. Satoru Oba." ”

"Hey, hey, what are you talking nonsense about this teenager?" Satoru Oba exclaimed, "I was with Sakurako at the time, how could I possibly kill the president?"

Hattori smiled, "I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Heiji Hattori, a high school student detective in Kansai." ”

"Hattori Heiji?" Satoru Oba was taken aback and asked at Maori, "Are you ......?"

Maori said proudly: "Yes, I am Detective Maori Kogoro." ”

At this time, the police officer came with a silenced pistol, saying that it was found in the garbage passage.

The Twilight Police Department took a look, and the magazine was full, with only one bullet missing.

"It's obvious that the murderer didn't take the gun away, which means that he wants to stay here, and there is only one bullet missing from the gun, which means that it is aimed at Mr. Tatsumi. Hattori said, "The whole incident should be like this, Mr. Tatsumi told Mr. Oba that he would pretend to be a mascot and asked Mr. Oba to help prepare the mascot's costume, and Mr. Oba had a bad heart and then planned the incident." Mr. Oba asked Miss Sakurako to do an alibi, and while they were kissing, he pressed open the elevator door, killed Mr. Tatsumi with a silenced pistol, and then clicked on the elevator control panel to let the elevator drive away. Then he went to the bathroom with Miss Sakurako, and while Miss Sakurako was in the bathroom, he threw the murder weapon into the garbage escape. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked people to test the gunsmoke reaction on Satoru Oba's body, but nothing was found, but a member of the Chentai Advertising Agency said that he saw a large plastic bag with gloves in the mascot that Satoru Oba was going to play today.

"I see, he put the pistol in a plastic bag and shot in the plastic bag, so there was no smoke reaction," Hattori said. ”

So, the Twilight Police Department asked people to take the big plastic bag for testing, and found that there was a gunpowder reaction.

Maori asked, "Mr. Oba, how do you explain this?"

Satoru Oba said, "I'm sure it's not just my fingerprints on it. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked people to check it, and there were several groups of fingerprints on the plastic bag, and Oba Satoru was only one of them, and the fingerprints on the gloves could not be detected at all.

Satoru Oba asked rhetorically, "There's nothing to say now, do you?"

"You're rejoicing too soon. Hattori smiled, "Mr. Oba, you have already unconsciously revealed your flaws. ”

Maori asked, "What's the flaw?"

Hattori smiled, "Police, please dim the lights here first." ”

"Okay. "The Twilight Police Department let people go.

When the lights dimmed, Hattori asked, "Miss Sakurako's pink earrings were only bought today, please look at Miss Sakurako's earrings now, can you tell that they are pink now?"

"No," the Twilight Police Department understood, "Ah, I see. ”

Mori smiled, "By the way, Mr. Oba let the elevator door open, and he saw that Miss Sakurako's earrings were pink through the light in the elevator." ”

Hattori asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Oba, how do you know that this pink pearl is pink if there is no light and you can't see the color in the dark?"

"If that's your hole card, I'll tell you. Satoru Oba laughed, "I heard it on the phone, and the clerk confirmed with Sakurako if she wanted pink pearl earrings. ”

"What?" Hattori was taken aback.

"If you don't believe me, you can check it out. Satoru Oba laughed. ……
