Sunday, August 9th, around 7 p.m., Shinjuku Kerry Hotel, Kazewado Yokozuna celebration venue.

Takada Masao fell to the ground in full view of the gunshot, the lady's screams rang out, the lights of the venue were all turned on, and the expanding pool of blood under Takada Masao was clearly visible, and the venue suddenly became chaotic, and a large number of guests ran out of the venue in panic.

Conan found that the long-haired man in the corner was missing, looked around, and found that a person appeared next to the lighting facility on the second floor, took something and left, so Conan rushed out of the venue to see who it was, but there were many people with many legs, and the small Conan did not find any trace of that person, and then was captured by Lan and returned to Maori.

Seeing Seiji Ishimoto sitting in a chair and Mori bandaging him with a napkin, Conan asked, "Uncle, how is Mr. Ishinomoto's injury?"

"Luckily, just rubbing off a little bit of flesh. Mori said, and then used his mobile phone to inform Yamazaki.

Looking at Tsunesho Takakura, who was standing next to Takada Masao's body, without looking at Takada Masao's eyes, and using his mobile phone to call out one by one, Lan sighed heavily.

"No need to do this," Sonoko patted Ran on the shoulder, "it's his duty to report to the people in Rep. Takada's faction." ”

At this time, like sharks smelling blood, the media rushed to the venue, and a fat reporter looked around, and went straight to Maori, who was on the phone, "Maori detective, I don't know if you still remember me, I'm Makishima, and I interviewed you in Mr. Hijikata's incident last time." Detective Maori, what do you think about the murder of Masao Takada, a member of the House of Representatives? Who do you think was the murderer?"

At the same time, other reporters gathered around, handed the microphone to Maori, and frantically photographed him and Takada's body.

Facing more than a dozen cameras, listening to Yamazaki's reminder through the mobile phone, "Uncle, don't express your opinion", Mori loosened his tie, "None, no comment." ”

"Uncle, it's not the detective's turn to intervene in the incident related to the members of the House of Representatives, I won't go, I'll hang up the phone, goodbye. Yamazaki said on the phone, then hung up.

At this time, the police from the Shinjuku Police Station, the fourth side of the Metropolitan Police Department, rushed over and began to maintain order and invite the media out of the venue.

A moment later, Matsumoto led the team, Matsumoto showed the search documents to the person in charge of the hotel, and then asked his subordinates to start their work, and he asked Mori, "Mori, you are on the scene, tell me what happened?"

"Yes, Administrator. "When Mr. Takada walked past Mr. Honda, he was suddenly shot. ”

Shaking his head, Matsumoto said with a smile: "Mori, tell the whole story, how do you say this about how I restore the scene, in this way, start with why you are here." ”

"No, I'm sorry. Mori laughed dryly, and then from the time he received the commission to protect Seiji Honda, he omitted some personal matters such as asking for an autograph.

After listening to Mori's words, Matsumoto said, "Mr. Ishinomoto, it is a coincidence that you received a threatening letter and were attacked together. Then he asked, "So, Miss Tanaka, when did you receive the threatening letter, before or after you received the invitation for this party?"

"Yes," Sachiko Tanaka glanced at Seiji Ishimoto, "Yes, we received the threatening letter after we received the invitation for this party." ”

"It's not me, Mr. Officer, it's not a ploy I've set up. Seiji Ishimoto shouted, "Unsubstantiated, police officer, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Please don't be nervous. Matsumoto said, "It's just a routine question. ”

At this time, the forensic personnel came to report, the video of the party, the surveillance video of the hotel, all ready.

Matsumoto told him to send the footage back immediately, and then asked Mori, "Did you find any suspicious characters?"

"Well," Maori said, "it was dark and I couldn't see anything clearly. ”

"I've seen a man," Conan pulled out the photo he had just taken, "it's this Mr. Longhair, who seems to be alone all along." ”

"Stupid! This should have been taken out a long time ago. Maori took the photo and gave Conan a large mushroom, making Conan squat on the ground with his head in his hands.

Mori took a look at the photo and gave it to the Matsumoto manager, who showed it up.

Looking at the photo, Sachiko Tanaka screamed, and Seiji Ishimoto said, "Mr. Officer, I know this person, his name is Kenichi Shibata," and then pointed to Sachiko Tanaka, "It's Sachiko's boyfriend." ”

"Ahh

Lan gritted his teeth and asked, "Dad, what do you want to do when you are so loud?"

"No, nothing!" Mori laughed dryly.

The Matsumoto manager asked, "So, Mr. Ishimoto, do you have any trouble with this Shibata-sama?"

"Well, I merged his family's business. Seiji Ishimoto emphasized, "His company's business is no longer good, and I did it for the sake of those employees." ”

Matsumoto asked Tsuneaki Shinkura, "Did you invite this Shibata-sama to come?"

"No, he's not on the list I arranged. Shinkura Tsunezhang said.

"Yes, I brought him in," Sachiko Tanaka said, bowing her head, "Kenichi said he wanted to see who was, and he wanted to pull an angel fund." ”

Matsumoto said, "Then, Sachiko Tanaka, please call Mr. Shibata and bring him in." ”

"Yes, I see. Sachiko Tanaka took out her mobile phone and called Kenichi Shibata, and when she learned that he was in the game hall of the hotel, she asked him to come over immediately.

At this time, the forensic staff came to ask Matsumoto to manage him and invited him to the stage lamp on the second floor, and although Mori did not have roots, he also heard their conversation.

The forensic officer said, "Based on Mr. Honda's height and the ballistic trajectory of Mr. Takada's shot, the place where the shot was fired was the stage lamp shining on Takada's body, and according to the smoke reactants, there was once a semi-automatic pistol on the right side of the stage lamp that was taped to it." ”

Matsumoto took a look at it, the right side of the stage lamp was against the wall, and there were only a dozen centimeters in the middle, and he realized that it was in this blind corner that the pistol was not found, and then asked, "I used to say that the murder gun was not there?"

"Yes. "And according to the swaying of the gunsmoke reactants, there were no people or other objects around the guns when the guns rang out, and the gunsmoke reactants were sprayed regularly and uninterruptedly. ”

Matsumoto asked suspiciously, "No one?"

"This issue has not yet been clarified. "Also, if you look at the ground, we see that there is an incomplete set of footprints on the smoke reactants on the ground, which are footprints that go in and come out. ”

"That is, after the crime, a man came in and took the murder weapon. Matsumoto thought for a moment and asked, "If there are gunpowder reactants under their feet, can they find out now?"

"Yes. "But if you wash it, you can't do it, and the ground outside is wet, and if they go out, they won't be able to find out." ”

"I see, let's check it out first. Matsumoto said, "Go through all the people in this hotel, all the guests at this party, not just the ones in the autograph book, but also the people they brought in." ”

"Yes. Forensic officer said.

No one was able to shoot, Conan suddenly thought, could it be remote-controlled? Then it occurred to Shinkura Tsunesho's flashlight-like thing, could it be that thing?

At this time, the Matsumoto management officer returned to the venue, and Conan hid behind Ran and told him that Tsunesho Shinkura had something like a flashlight.

At the request of Matsumoto Shosho, Tsunesho Shinkura glanced at Conan, took the item out of his trouser pocket and handed it to the forensic staff.

Why, what's going on? Conan felt very strange about this glance of Tsunesho Shinkura, but he couldn't figure out what the weirdness was.

At this time, the forensic personnel reported that what Xincang Changzhang handed over was a flashlight, but it was also a remote control, and it was not clear whether it was a remote control or something.

The management officer of Matsumoto asked Tsunesho Shinkura, "What is this for remote control, Mr. Ikura?"

Tsunezhang Shinkura said: "This is a remote control for an electronic alarm clock, which is used to stop the alarm clock, and I just bought it when I saw it made into a flashlight for easy use at night." However, the electronic alarm clock had long since broken down and was thrown away, and this little flashlight was easy to carry, so I kept it. Then he asked, "Can you pay me back?"

Officer Matsumoto said, "I'm sorry, but this thing is in the custody of our police for the time being. ”

Shinkura Tsunezhang said, "Okay. ”

Managing Officer Matsumoto asked, "By the way, Mr. Ikura, is the path you took to the stage arranged in advance?"

"Yes. Shinkura Tsunezhang said.

"Who arranged it?" asked Matsumoto Administrator.

"I arranged it. Shinkura Tsunezhang said.

"Who knows?" asked Matsumoto Executive.

"I don't know if anyone knows the full route, but the seats on this road are fixed, and they all have name plates on them, so anyone who cares about them can tell them by looking at them. "If you're suspicious of me, Matsumoto Administrator, you don't have to, if there's anyone here who doesn't want Takata-sender to have anything to do with it, it's me, the secretary." ”

"Mr. Ikura, whether you are a murderer or not, whether you are an accomplice of the murderer, it is too early to say. Matsumoto said.

At this time, Kenichi Shibata came, and the Matsumoto management officer asked the forensic staff to say that he had checked him.

Soon after, forensic personnel reported that Kenichi Shibata's soles had a lot of dust on them, but there were no gunsmoke reactants, and the patterns on the soles were different from those left at the scene of the shooting.

"Sachiko, you see, I didn't do it," Shibata Kenichi said, then looked at Seiji Ishinomoto, "I'll say it again, I didn't send that threatening letter either, I'm not bored to the point where I'm not bored, I admit to hating this guy, but not to the point of killing him." ”

At this point, the clue was broken, the questioning was over, and Seiji Ishimoto was sent to the police hospital, and Mori did not follow.

Then, after several hours of investigation, the police did not find the shoes, so Matsumoto led the team to withdraw, and the guests who had come to the party all returned, and Mori drove away with Ran, Sonoko, and Conan. ……

On the other side, the time moved forward a bit, around 7:10 p.m., Mei Dai Restaurant.

Yamazaki received a call from Mori, heard the reporter's question through the mobile phone, and immediately reminded Mori not to interfere, and then couldn't talk about it.

After Yamazaki hung up the phone, he said hello to Midaiko and went to the front desk, where he found that the killing of Masao Takada, a member of the House of Representatives, was being broadcast on TV, so he told the story of what Mori had seen.

Miyamoto Miko said, "Tell me about your speculation. ”

Yamazaki said: "Mr. Ishimoto and Congressman Takada were shot at the same time, one in the shoulder and the other in the chest, if the target is Mr. Tanaka, then there is such a deviation, the murderer's marksmanship or gun is really unimaginably bad, so I speculate that the target of this shot is actually Congressman Takada, as for whether Mr. Ishimoto's threatening letter was sent by the murderer in order to confuse the police, it is difficult to say." ”

"Whether this speculation is true or not, let time tell. Mimiko Miyamoto smiled, then looked at the time, "You go." ”……

The next day, Monday, August 10, morning, Miyamoto's house.

The front page of the morning newspaper carried news about the murder of Masao Takada, a member of the House of Representatives, and finally suspected that Takada's death was related to the incident of Maruya, a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, who was investigating the misconduct of Congressman Okubo.

The morning news screen on the TV suddenly switched to the live news screen, and the background of the picture was a large group of reporters gathered outside a villa, "This is a villa of Congressman Takada in the mountains of Seitama, not long ago, there were several gunshots here, and we rushed in and found four bodies, Mr. Tsuneaki Takata, the secretary of Congressman Takata, Councilor Maruya and Councilor Okubo of Tokyo, and a middle-aged man. As far as I know from my peers, this man's name is Shiro Hiraoka, known as Piranha Hiraoka, and he is a criminal expert who makes extortion a profession. That's all we know so far, and we'll let you know if there's new information. I'm Mizumi no mercy, thank you. The screen then switches back to the morning news screen, but it introduces yesterday's killing of Congressman Takata and the incident of the defilement of Congressman Maruya and Congressman Okubo.

"Now the media is going crazy again. Yamazaki said.

"And what about your speculation?" asked Miyakoto Miyamoto.

"Infighting. Yamazaki said, "Secretary Shinkura betrayed Congressman Takata, and the murderer of Rep. Takada should have been Mr. Shiro Hiraoka, and Mr. Ishinomoto's threatening letter should have been sent by him." ”

"Wrong," Miyamoto said, "extortion is by mouth, not by gun, with a gun is robbed." He was able to deliberately let a bullet graze Mr. Ishinomoto's shoulder and hit Congressman Takada, and the murderer was obviously a master of guns. Unless Mr. Hiraoka is deliberately clumsy, but this one may be too small. ”

"That's true," Yamazaki asked, "but if the murderer wasn't him, who would it be?"

"I don't know the results of the investigation, how could I know this. Miyako Miyamoto smiled, then looked at the time, "It's almost time, I'm going to work." ”

"Then I'll go next door and start work. Yamazaki laughed. ……
