Sunday, March 3rd, evening.

At the venue of the world's first night festival held in Saitama Prefecture, Mori and his party met Mr. Sei Shinichi, who claimed to be working with Mr. Imatake to write a book. Then a police officer named Yokozo approached Mr. Sonichi Saii because Mr. Tomoshi Imatake, who was living with Mr. Sei, was killed at the hotel, and took him to the scene.

found that there was an incident, of course, Maori would not let it go, so he took a group of people to the scene. Then Maori, who infiltrated the scene, was discovered by Officer Yokogou, but Officer Yokogou actually knew Maori, and it seemed that he was still a fan of him. So, at the request of Officer Henggou, "Then it's up to you, as a reference for our search, please", the Maori Detective Agency officially participated in the incident.

Entrusted by the Henggou police officer, Mao Li squatted on the ground and searched, first looked at the victim's wallet, there was nothing in it except the card, and then saw some foam in the victim's mouth, so he smelled it a little, and then said: "This is ......"

Conan, who also smelled a little, immediately preemptively said, "Toothpaste for brushing teeth." ”

Seeing this, Mori immediately planted a mushroom on Conan's head, then stood up and said to himself, "Really, this guy does this every time." ”

Conan was knocked to the ground, and when he got up, he saw a toothbrush and thought, did the victim get shot while brushing his teeth?

Seeing Maori stand up, Officer Henggou stepped forward and asked, "Detective Maori, did you find any clues?"

Maori replied, "It looks like a robbery case. As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and smoked it. Then he continued, "All the banknotes in the victim's wallet were taken away, and the murderer also made a mess of the room, and he should have committed this crime for money, judging from the situation where the victim fell near the door, I am afraid that he heard someone knocking on the door and was shot while opening the door." ”

"But, Detective Maori," Officer Yokomizo asked, "did you think that this would be the case, deliberately pretending to be a theft, but in fact it was ...... in the same room," he said, looking at Mr. Sei.

Mr. Shijing at the door immediately distinguished: "Hey, hey, don't be kidding, the case happened around eight o'clock." So I had an alibi, because at the same time I had gone to see the first night festival in the world, and I met Mr. Maori and them there. Then he asked Maori, "Is that so?"

After thinking for a moment, Mori said, "However, when I met you, it was already the second half of the festival. ”

Mr. Sei continued, "Really, I went there in the first place, and if you think I'm lying, just rinse this out, I've got an alibi." With that, he handed the camera out.

Officer Henggou immediately ordered: "Okay, take it and rinse it immediately." ”

"Wait a minute. Yamazaki, who was standing in the middle of the room, said.

Yamazaki walked into the scene and looked around first. The scene was the room of the hotel, which was turned over extremely messy, all the places that could be turned over, everything that could be thrown was thrown out, and it was scattered everywhere. Looking at the victim's body again, civilian clothes, a towel on his shoulder, foam in his mouth, combined with the toothbrush next to him, this guy was killed when he was brushing his teeth with a toothbrush, and when he walked to the door.

In this way, the murderer of this incident can only be an acquaintance, and if the murderer leaves shortly after the gunshot, then he will not have time to turn things over, because it will take a lot of time to turn the room into that, and if the victim is asked to turn it over, the victim will at least clean up the toothpaste in his mouth. In this case, the murderer should have first rummaged through the room, then stood in the doorway, lured the victim over, and then shot the victim with one shot, and then left. Oh, by the way, looking at the wallet on the ground, Yamazaki thought to himself, he should have picked up the cash before leaving. And the murderer should be that Sei Xuanichi, the evidence, it depends on whether the photo in the camera in his hand can speak.

Stopping Officer Yokomizo, Yamazaki asked, "Mr. Sei, you took a few pictures." ”

Mr. Sei immediately replied, "Seven." ”

"I remember it so clearly," Yamazaki said, "Officer Yokomi, can you wash a few more sets, just ten sets, and then send them when they are lined up, I think if there are seven sheets, it will still be very easy to line." ”

"Yes. As he spoke, Officer Henggou ordered someone to do this.

"By the way," Yamazaki asked again, "Mr. Sei, do you remember when and where you asked someone to shoot it?"

Mr. Sei replied, "Time is when words burn, and I can't remember the place or the person. ”

"Well," Yamazaki said, "I see." ”

While walking towards Yamazaki, Conan thought to himself, Officer Yokozo was right, this was not a robbery case at all, the murderer was someone the victim knew, it should be Mr. Sei, but why did he look so calm, and what kind of alibi was captured in that camera.

"Yamazaki," Conan asked in a low voice, "what clues do you have?"

"Nope. Yamazaki chuckled quietly, then asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

"You can see that, too. Conan whispered, "There just isn't any evidence." ”

Yamazaki chuckled, "Didn't he take it out himself? When the time comes, go to the location on the photo and check it, and there should be a result." This guy is still very recognizable. ”

Conan whispered, "Well, hopefully." ”

Soon after, the photo was washed out and handed over to Officer Henggou. Officer Yokozo gave Maori a set first, and then asked, "The rest of this ......"

"Please divide it into four sets. Yamazaki smiled, "Officer Yokogou, we took the last four photos." Please ask people to go out into the street and go to the places in the first three photos to see if there are any clues. I think Mr. Sei will be quite conspicuous tonight. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

"Okay. As he spoke, Officer Yokozo handed Yamazaki four sets of photos, and then gave the rest to his subordinates and asked them to do it. Of course, the police officer who had just delivered the photo stayed behind and waited for an inquiry about the photo.

Taking the photo, Yamazaki smiled, "Let's play the game of finding the wrong thing." As he spoke, he gave one set to Conan, and then called Lan and Yuanzi, who were standing at the door, in, and gave them one set. Mei Daizi opened a room and was watching TV, drinking tea, and waiting for supper.

After looking at the photo, Conan immediately noticed that there was a difference between the photo Mr. Sei had taken with the mask and the photo he had taken with the character 'Heaven' in the background, making a victory gesture. It used to be the place where the watch was worn all the time, but now that the watch is not on it, there is a white mark, which is because the place has not been exposed to the sun.

Raising his head and looking at Mr. Sei, Conan whispered to Yamazaki beside him, "Found it." ”

"Well," Yamazaki replied in a whisper, "seven is too little, and it won't be easy for him to find a few dozen." ”

Conan continued to whisper, "Then I did it?"

"Wait a minute, wait for the cops to come back. If Lan and the garden haven't been found out by then, you can go up. Yamazaki chuckled quietly, "Let Ran and Sonoko play for a while." ”

Taking the photo, Yuan Zi smiled: "Leave it to me." ”

Looking at the photos and pointing to one of them, Lan said, "This is the photo I took, and you see that Conan's balloon was also photographed here." That's right, that's right, it happened that I met Mr. Sei just when 'Ichi' started to burn. ”

Officer Yokozo reminded, "However, the time when 'One' started burning was after 8:40 and the time of the crime was 8:2, so if you go there by speed, you can reach the festival venue from the hotel in 40 minutes." ”

"Officer Yokozo," Maori asked, looking at the photo, "the original word 'day' will burn after it starts burning at eight o'clock, and how long will it take to burn to the next word." ”

"Probably," replied Officer Yokogou, "about eight twenty-five." ”

Maori said: "Then please take a closer look at this photo, the word 'sky' behind him." See, he was already at the venue of the first night festival in the world before 8:25. The time of the crime was around eight o'clock, and no matter how you flew there, twenty minutes was not enough to get from this hotel. As he spoke, he handed the photo to Officer Henggou.

Looking at the photo, Officer Yokozo said, "But don't you think this photo was taken on purpose? Maybe it's multiple exposures, maybe if you're very proficient in photography, maybe ......."

"Hey, hey," Mr. Sei immediately retorted, "I just gave you the camera to be developed, and it was a disposable camera, so I can't do that." ”

Officer Yokogou immediately asked, "What did you find when you printed the photo?"

The police officer who came with the printed photo next to him immediately saluted and said, "Whether it is a camera or a negative, there is no trace of any processing." ”

"Alright, alright, Officer Yokogou. Maori persuaded, and then asked, "I want to know, Officer Yokogou, why do you care so much about this?"

Officer Yokogou replied, "I heard from the counter staff of this hotel, Mr. Shijing went out at about half past seven, and I confirmed the time with him several times, and the counter staff was quite impressed. But he didn't meet you until after 8:40. ...... in between"

Mr. Sei immediately replied, "That's because I had to catch up with the burning time of the word 'sky' anyway, but I forgot to wear my watch today." As he spoke, he exposed his wrist to show that he was not wearing a watch. Then he said, "As for the middle, isn't my alibi photo in your possession?" ”

Officer Yokozo was suspicious: "Everything you do seems to be related, it's like you're deliberately creating an alibi." ”

Mr. Sei retorted, "Don't talk nonsense, please don't waste your time on this meaningless thing, and it's time to get some energy out of it and track down the real culprit who killed my friend." ”

At this time, a man's voice came from outside the door, "Imatake-sensei, teacher." Then a man squeezed in from the crowd outside the door. Looking at the scene, the man asked, "Where's the old teacher?"

Officer Yokozo said, "Mr. Imatake's body has been transferred to the office. Then he asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Yamada, the editor of the monthly magazine Bungei Times, and I rushed here as soon as I was notified by the police. Editor Yamada said, "The teacher is still ......."

Maori said: "If you say "Literary Times", then Mr. Imatake ......"

Mr. Sei said, "Yes, he once serialized "The Legend of Sword Bravery" on it. ”

"Ah," Yamada said in surprise, "are you, Mr. Sei?" ”

Holding his chin, Mr. Sei said, "Speaking of which, Imatake once mentioned that his serialized novel is almost finished, but he hasn't written it yet. ”

"By the way, the teacher's deadline is tomorrow. Editor Yamada exclaimed, then covered his face with his hands and said dejectedly, "Oh no, it's too late to ask other teachers now, and now I can't find a work that is comparable to the teacher's writing for the time being." ”

"I can't help it," said Mr. Sei, taking out a neat stack of manuscript paper from the upturned box on the bed next to him, handing it to Yamada's editor, "Take it." ”

Yamazaki was speechless, doesn't this explain the problem? In the messed up box, there is still neat manuscript paper.

Conan whispered, "They've found a problem." ”

"I hear you. Yamazaki said, "It should be okay to wait a little longer." ”

"Ran," said the garden, "I feel that there is something wrong with this. ”

"yes. Lan echoed, "I feel that way, too. ”……

Taking the paper, Yamada asked, "What is this ......?"

"That's what I wrote before, and I originally wanted to show it to Imatake, so I brought it here today. Mr. Sei said, "I just don't know if it can be compared to Imatake's work." ”

Editor Yamada immediately said, "Where, you once wrote with Imatake-sensei, and if it were your work, my colleagues in the editorial department would definitely be convinced." ”

Mr. Sei asked, "Is that good, that's the beginning of a novel?"

Editor Yamada asked, "If you can, can you please write for Literary Times?"

Mr. Sei said, "It's a headache, but I have other work at hand." ”

Editor Yamada requested, "Anyway, please do me a favor." ”

Mr. Sei agreed, "Well, even if it was written for the sake of the dead Imaitake." ”

"Thank you so much. Editor Yamada said and bowed his leave.

Yamazaki chuckled, "They worked well together." ”

"Be skilled. Conan also chuckled.

Yamazaki laughed quietly: "Come, let's say a few words, just remind us, and let Lan and them also get over detective addiction later." ”……
