Saturday, June 7th, noon, Rice Flower Hotel.

Conan recognized at a glance that the plainclothes police car that stopped seemed to be Officer Takagi's, and when he looked again, it was Officer Takagi who hurriedly ran down from the car.

"Officer Takagi, what's wrong?" Conan went up to intercept, and the others went.

"Conan, ...... you" Officer Takagi stopped, surrounded.

Motota asked, "Officer Takagi, what the hell happened?"

At this time, Officer Chiba and Eiyu Hondo also got out of the plainclothes police car.

Dr. Asasa was surprised, "Hongdo, what are you?"

Eiyu Hondo said, "I'm assisting with the investigation. ”

Officer Chiba said, "We were on the way back to pick up Eiyu Hondo when we received a notice that there was a murder and that it was still a shooting. ”

"Shoot!" Conan and the others were startled.

Officer Takagi also reacted, "I won't tell you, I'm going to the scene." ”

"Wait," Conan hurriedly asked, "Is the incident in this hotel?

Officer Chiba said, "It's the 39th floor, it's said just a few minutes ago. ”

"Then don't worry," Gray Yuan pointed to the hotel lobby with his thumb, "There are only three elevators here, and now two of them are broken and are being repaired, and the other one has a long queue, and the downstairs is like this, and the upstairs must be the same, it is impossible for people to walk." ”

Ayumi said, "Not necessarily, maybe you've already mixed in with the crowd." ”

Gray Yuan said: "Probably not, there will be a smell of gunpowder smoke after the shot, which is easy to identify in the elevator and leaves an impression." ”

Mitsuhiko said excitedly: "Ah, doesn't that mean that the murderer is among these people in the hotel." ”

Hondo Yingyou said: "Actually, it's not necessarily, if you use any means to cover up the smell of gunsmoke, the murderer may have already run away." ”

Conan said: "Anyway, let's find out that the murderer is still trapped in this hotel, and now he is either anxiously waiting for the elevator somewhere, or running down the safety stairs." ”

At this time, Officer Takagi's phone rang, and it was from the Twilight Police Department, asking Officer Takagi if he had arrived, and telling Officer Takagi that he would lead the team to arrive immediately.

Eiyu Hondo reacted and hurriedly called Mori and Yamazaki to inform them that there was an incident.

The two ended the conversation, the elevator arrived at the station and opened the door to release the person, and Officer Chiba hurriedly showed his police ID card to stop the person.

"Let's go and help guard those two safe stairs. Conan commanded.

Moments later, reinforcements from the Rice Flower Police Station arrived and cordoned off the hotel.

The reporter was a step slow and was stopped outside.

Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba boarded the elevator with their police ID cards, and Dr. Asasa, the Junior Detective Corps, and Eiyu Hondo were stained. ……

39th floor.

A group of people watched at the door of the artist's office, needless to say, it was the scene.

"We're the police, so please give in. "Officer Chiba clears the scene.

"Ah, Mr. Policeman, you're finally here. A blonde lady said with a worried look on her face, her tone awkward, mixed with English, and obviously not very good at Japanese.

Officer Takagi asked, "Miss, who are you?"

The secretary said nervously: "I called the police, and our president was shot." ”

Conan asked, "Where is the scene?"

"In the president's office, the innermost room. Miss Secretary said.

At the scene, a middle-aged man sat on a chair behind his desk with his head down, not only covered in blood, but also a large pool of blood on the ground.

The whole room was filled with the smell of blood.

There were two obvious bullet holes in the wall behind him, apparently left from the miss.

"Ahh

Ayumi ran in and took a look, then turned her head and covered her eyes, and Motota was directly frightened and pulled Mitsuhiko over.

"Alright, let's all go out, this is not the place for us kids. Gray Plains took the three of them away, but Conan stayed. ……

Downstairs, Yamazaki rushed over from home, and Mori also ran over from the mahjong parlor, but could only stand outside the cordon.

A reporter noticed Mori and immediately stepped forward to interview, while Yamazaki immediately stayed away from him.

Moments later, the Twilight Police Department arrived.

Mori immediately went up to say hello, "Lord of the police, Mori Kogoro is here to report." ”

The Twilight Police Department had a headache, but waved his hand and asked Maori to join.

During the reporters' filming, Maori happily entered the cordon.

Yamazaki didn't follow, not wanting to be photographed.

Yamazaki walked around the hotel and found that the side door was also blocked, but there was no one guarding the back, there was no door, only rows of air windows, some of which were large enough for people to enter and exit.

Yamazaki couldn't help but shake his head, if the prisoner didn't run away, he would be a fool.

Yamazaki climbed into the hotel and wiped his fingerprints and footprints along the way.

Yamazaki entered the lobby to take the elevator, only to find that two of the three elevators were broken.

Yamazaki frowned, this is too coincidental.

Yamazaki observed, and there was a surveillance system in the hotel lobby.

When he saw the fire protection system, Yamazaki thought of a question, this hotel has only three elevators, how to quickly evacuate the people of the entire building in the event of a fire?

Yamazaki probably figured out how the prisoner moved, and by this time, the prisoner had slipped away.

Simply, Yamazaki also slipped away and returned the same way, wiping off fingerprints and footprints along the way.

Yamazaki walked to the main entrance of the hotel, looked at the cordon, and couldn't help but shake his head, this thing is what it looks like.

Yamazaki took out his phone and began to write text messages to Mori so that he could report the situation. ……

On the other side, the 39th floor of the hotel.

The secretary recounted what she had experienced, and although there was a lot of English mixed in, neither the Twilight Police Department nor Mori understood, but Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba, Conan, and Eiyu Hondo all understood.

Officer Takagi explained, "The secretary said that the president was going to meet a newcomer before the crime and went to the top restaurant for lunch. ”

"This person was personally looked for by the president, and he didn't let the secretary watch from the sidelines, and deliberately broke the secretary's wife, so the secretary didn't know the specific age and appearance of the newcomer. ”

"The only thing that is certain is that this newcomer must have the appearance of a foreigner and be fluent in Japanese. ”

"This secretary is actually a newcomer, but her Japanese is not good, so she can't go on stage, so she asked her to be a secretary first. ”

"At 11:45 a.m., the president asked the secretary to pick up something from a warehouse on the 37th floor. ”

When the secretary came back, she found out that the president was dead, and then she reported the crime, and it was 11:48 a.m. ”

"Chiba and I happened to be nearby, so we rushed over at 11:51 when we were notified. ”

"That's it. ”

Maori pondered, "Six minutes is enough to escape." ”

Bendo Yingyou smiled: "Uncle, this is the 39th floor, and the elevator is broken two more, and in a few minutes, people can't escape." ”

The Twilight Police Department nodded, "Very well, Chiba, first gather all the guests in this hotel who look like foreigners." ”

"Yes. "Officer Chiba took the order.

At this time, Maori's mobile phone rang, and the text message sounded.

When Maori saw it, he immediately said, "Police, I think people have run away." ”

Hondo Eiyu's heart moved, and he suddenly thought that this was a text message from Yamazaki.

The Dusk Police Department asked, "What do you say?"

Maori said: "The way it should be, the murderer should have known about the hotel beforehand. ”

"There is a surveillance system in the hotel lobby and he should have put on makeup. ”

"Two of the three elevators in the hall today are broken, which should be the murderer. ”

The Dusk Police Department was surprised, "Why did he do that?"

Maori asked rhetorically: "Police Department, do you think that if a fire breaks out in the hotel, three elevators will be enough to evacuate the guests on these dozens of floors?"

"Freight elevator!" Conan reacted.

Maori was immediately annoyed, this was obviously a line grab, so he picked up Conan and threw him out of the room.

Outside.

Watching Conan fall to his feet, Gray Yuan smiled and crossed his arms and looked condescendingly, "No courtesy." ”

Conan's already resentful face suddenly became even darker, which was completely a fall into the well.

With the help of Motota and Mitsuhiko, Conan stood up with grinned teeth, and his whole body was in pain.

However, Conan didn't care about it, so he got up and ran to investigate the freight elevator.

Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi immediately followed, and Gray Yuan sighed and went, she wanted to look at Sanxiao.

Dr. Asa touched his stomach with a bitter face, and decided that it was better to stay here, he was too hungry to have any strength.

He had been looking forward to this meal since the morning, so he ate less for breakfast and was going to save his stomach for a big meal, and as a result, alas!

On the other side, in the middle.

Maori continued: "The hotel's freight elevator is also a safe evacuation route, but under normal circumstances, it is not used by guests. ”

"But in case of emergency, just like today, two of the three elevators are broken, it must be accommodating, otherwise you can't make the guests wait, which is detrimental to the reputation. ”

The Twilight Police Department also figured it out, "That's right, the prisoner can take advantage of this and quickly escape the hotel after committing the crime. ”

"At the same time, avoid the surveillance system in the lobby so that no one knows when he left," Maori said. ”

The Twilight Police Department nodded, "That makes sense." ”

Maori smiled: "Also, the police department, there is a ventilation window on the back street of the hotel, and the big one can accommodate people to enter and exit, and the police have not blocked those places, so even now, the murderer can escape calmly." ”

The Twilight Police Department was surprised, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes!" Officer Takagi took the order to investigate. ……
