Sunday, March 20, afternoon, overcast, a residential area behind the rice flower shopping street.

Knowing that the president of the Maotian Food Club was Einobu Maoda, his suspicious eyes turned to the Maida Eishin who commanded the moving club to move, after all, the deceased Masaharu Gomura was an employee of the Maotian Food Company, and the place where he died was on the truck that Eishin Maoda called to move, which was also a bit of a coincidence.

The Shiratori Police Department said, "Excuse me, Mr. Maoda, we have some questions for you about this incident. ”

"What does this have to do with me?" said Einobu Maoda.

Officer Sato said, "Mr. Maoda, we just learned that the deceased's name is Masaharu Gomura, and he is an employee of your company. ”

Einobu Maoda was surprised, "Is it the back village?"

"That's right, it's him. Maori asked, "Did you do anything when he jumped down from here after he robbed the jewelry store?"

"Nonsense," Einobu Shimada was angry, "Mr. Mori, as a detective, don't you know that you have to have evidence to speak?"

"Ahem," Officer Takagi diverted from the subject, "Excuse me, Mr. Maoda, where are you around half past one in the afternoon?"

"What are you doing, when I'm a suspect?" asked Einobu Maoda.

"Just to assist in the investigation, because Mr. Masaharu Gomura is your employee, we have the right to ask you to cooperate with us. "If you don't think it's right, you can get your lawyer first, and then we'll talk." ”

Maoda Eishin hesitated, "Okay, okay, you can ask whatever you want." ”

Officer Sato said. "Thank you for your cooperation. ”

"So," said the Shiratori Police, "tell me about your afternoon." ”

"I waited for the scheduled moving club after lunch, and then I was busy with the moving things, and the people from these moving clubs can testify for me. ”

"yes, directing us like dogs. Porter A said dissatisfied.

"Let's get here for a while, let us get there for a while, and they're all at the door and we have to wait. Porter B said dissatisfiedly, "It's too hard to serve." ”

Officer Sato asked, "Oh, can you tell us more about your experience here?"

Yamazaki interjected, "Accurate to the minute." ”

The truck driver said: "Mr. Maotian and we agreed to move at one o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at 12:45 p.m. fifteen minutes early, and then we went upstairs to find Mr. Maotian." ”

Officer Sato asked, "How many floors?"

Employee A and B said: "The ninth floor of this building opposite. ”

Employee A said dissatisfiedly, "Then he made us wait outside the door for a full twenty minutes. ”

The Shiratori Police Department asked, "Mr. Maoda, why is that?"

Einobu Shimada said, "When they came, I happened to be in the bathroom. ”

Maori asked, "More than twenty minutes?"

Maotian Rongxin said angrily: "Do you also want to ask? I sometimes have some constipation, no!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Maori laughed awkwardly.

Officer Sato diverted the topic, "That means you met Mr. Catada after 1:5 o'clock. ”

Porter A said, "You forgot when you went upstairs. ”

Porter B said, "We met him around 1:10 a.m. ”

Maotian Rongxin snorted coldly: "Hmph, you really think I am a prisoner." ”

Let the people not hear, and go on.

Officer Takagi asked, "So, you've been together for the rest of the day?"

"No," said the truck driver, "Mr. Maoda instructed us to move our things." ”

Porter A said, "He said for five minutes, and then we started moving things. ”

Officer Takagi said, "It's 11 and 15 points." ”

Porter B said, "I didn't pay attention to him after that. ”

"I didn't pay attention either, but he certainly didn't leave the building," said the truck driver. ”

Officer Sato asked, "Why do you say that?"

The truck driver said: "When we came, our car was parked at the back of the building, and when we were moving, I drove the car to the front to make it easier to move things, so we kept going in and out. ”

Maori asked, "You always have time to carry things up and down the elevator, right?"

The truck driver said, "I don't think it's that coincidental. ”

Porter A said, "I also don't think he was out of the building, I saw him take some things to the fifth floor, he should be tidying things up." ”

Maori asked, "Fifth floor?"

Maotian Rongxin said: "My house is on the fifth floor, and the ninth floor is my club, which occupies one floor. ”

Officer Sato asked, "Your clubhouse is here?"

"Yes, I was just a food agent before, but now I'm going to build my own food processing plant, so I'm moving out, and I'll rent out the ninth floor as an apartment from now on," said Einobu Maoda. ”

Shiratori Police Department said: "It turns out that this is where Masaharu Gomura works, and he must be familiar with the environment in this area. Then he said to Einobu Shina, "Mr. Shinada, please take us to your club." ”

"My club?" said Einobu Maoda, reluctantly, "you guys are not finished." ”

"Mr. Maoda, I think you are mistaken, I am not asking for your advice, I am just informing you, because your club is in the building opposite where Mr. Masaharu Gomura jumped off the building. "Mr. Masaharu Gomura ran straight here to jump off the building after robbing the jewelry store, so I have reason to suspect that Mr. Masaharu Gomura had made some escape tools in the building opposite, that is, in his club, so that he could jump off the building and escape, so we are going to search, this is a criminal search, and there is no need for any formalities." ”

"Nonsense, how can there be such a thing, these movers are watching there. Maotian Rongxin smiled angrily, "And if there is a note in the bag of this jewelry, saying that this jewelry is going to be given to the prime minister, you will also go to the prime minister?"

"You're right," said the Shiratori Police, "if there's such a note, I'll go." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please, and let Maoda Eishin lead the way.

"Hmph. Maotian Rongxin was reluctant, but he could only lead the way and take everyone to his Maotian Food Club. ……

Ninth floor, Maotian Food Club.

There are a lot of packed boxes, some loose things, and tables, chairs, and cabinets, which really look like a house.

Maori asked, "How long will this take?"

The truck driver said: "These things will be loaded into about three containers in total, which is three round-trips. ”

Porter A said, "It was supposed to be Friday, but it was delayed today. ”

Maotian Rongxin said angrily: "I have set a time for three days, say this kind of thing, be careful that I complain to you." ”

The truck driver said, "Sorry, it's our fault. ”

Porter B smiled: "Okay, there is overtime pay today, there is nothing to complain about this." ”

"I'm sorry. Porter A saluted.

"Forget it, be careful next time you speak. Einobu Maoda said.

Everyone followed Maoda Rongxin around and did not find anything abnormal.

"Is it okay?" asked Einobu Shineda.

"Sorry to interrupt. Shiratori said.

And just as Maoda Rongxin sent everyone to the door, the mobile phone of the White Bird Police Department rang.

Seeing that it was a call from the forensic doctor, the Shiratori Police Department went to the side to answer the phone.

For the results of the autopsy of Masaharu Gomura's body, it can be preliminarily determined that he was unconscious when he fell from the building.

"Okay, I got it. The White Bird Police Department said, and then his heart moved, "Can you help me see how high he fell?"

"Well, according to previous cases of falling from the building, judging from the degree of damage to the deceased's body and the degree of dent of the truck, the deceased should have fallen from more than 20 meters, and there must not be 30 meters. ”

"Twenty meters or more?"

"It's hard to say, after all, there's a truck down there, not the ground, but if you want accurate data, I can find someone to help you experiment, which is the way to throw objects from high altitudes." ”

"Wait, do you mean twenty meters from the roof of the truck?"

"Of course, do you start with the ground where the truck is?"

"Okay, I see, thank you, I'm free to invite you to drink. ”

"Then do you want to do a high-altitude parabolic experiment?"

"To do it, first do four groups, the first group is the roof of the ninth floor, the horizontal height is about 27 meters, the second group is the roof of the ninth floor plus a barricade height, the horizontal height is about 29 meters, the first group is the balcony on the ninth floor, the horizontal height is about 24 meters, the first group is the balcony on the fifth floor, the horizontal height is about 12 meters, call me as soon as it is completed. ”

"Okay, I'll call you as soon as I'm done. ”……

Downstairs.

"Now it can be preliminarily determined that Mr. Masaharu Gomura was unconscious when he fell from the building. ”

The Shiratori Police Department told Mori, Officer Sato, and Officer Takagi the news they had heard from the medical examiner, and Yamazaki and the Junior Detective Team were also listening, and the three members of the moving club were already busy.

Officer Takagi had a headache, "Since he is unconscious, how did he go about robbing the jewelry store?"

Shiratori said with a smile, "Could it be that someone is acting for him?" and then create the illusion that a robber has failed to escape. ”

"Who?" asked Maori, "Is it Mr. Shikoda?"

"Mr. Maori has this suspicion too. "I got a clue. ”

"Hey, don't sell it at this time. Officer Sato said angrily.

The Shiratori Police Department said with a smile: "The height of Mr. Gomura's fall from the building should be between twenty and thirty meters. ”

Yamazaki's heart moved, and he looked at the ninth floor of the Maotian Food Club in the opposite building, while Conan turned and ran, and the four of them followed.

Yamazaki knew that this guy must have gone to the balcony at the back of the building to investigate.

"The roof on the ninth floor is almost 27 meters, and the top of the truck is at least 3 meters above the ground, so the fall height is 24 meters. Officer Takagi said, "And this side ......."

"The ninth-floor balcony where the Maotian Food Club is located is about 24 meters above the ground, and the height of the top of the truck bed from the ground is 3 meters, so this difference is 21 meters," Officer Sato calculated. ”

Shiratori continued, "Didn't the movers say that? Their truck was parked on the back of that building. ”

Maori pondered. "And for a while, none of them were in the van, all of them were waiting outside the Maotian Food Club. ”

Officer Takagi said, "If Mr. Yoshida knocked Mr. Goji unconscious in the Catada Food Club at that time, and then pushed him downstairs, this is ......."

"Makes sense. "Mr. Gomura happened to hit the roof of the truck, so Mr. Maoda was afraid that it would be revealed that he had killed Mr. Gomura, so he took advantage of the busy time of the movers to rob the jewelry store, and then jumped down to make people think that Mr. Gomura died at that time." ”

"It doesn't make sense here, Takagi watched him jump off the roof of this building," Officer Sato asked, "how did he disappear from under Takagi's nose?"

"It must have been rappelling with a rope, but Takagi was only looking at the body on the roof of the truck, and was completely attracted by it, so he let him run." ”

"This ......," Officer Takagi began to doubt himself.

Officer Sato said, "It could also have jumped into a room downstairs. ”

Officer Sato, Officer Takagi is grateful.

Yamazaki said, "There is another question, if Mr. Maoda wants to kill Mr. Gomura, why does he have to choose here, you must know that this is where his club is located, and he can't get out of it." ”

"Definitely. Officer Sato pondered, "I guess he must have planned a very perfect criminal modus operandi." ”

Officer Takagi said, "If that is the case, then everything is planned. ”

The Shiratori Police Department said: "The moving club was booked, and it was booked for three days, but I chose this time of day. ”

"The moving club's van was at the back of the building before, and then at the front of the building. Officer Sato said.

Officer Takagi said, "The jewel robbers fled all the way and ended up jumping off the top of the van, and then I saw a body on the roof of the van. ”

"Everything was planned. Maori said.

"The problem is evidence," Yamazaki said, "to be able to establish that Mr. Kineda is the murderer." ”……
