Tuesday, August 12th, night, Izu Prince Hotel.

After the incident, the hotel immediately called the police, and the police immediately cordoned off the scene. And during this period, because Conan didn't want to leave the scene, Lan had to go to Maori alone. Ran informs Yamazaki and Midako first, but they say they will come down after a supper. Then, although he was found in the Emerald Bar on the second floor, he seemed to be very drunk and slept deeply, so Lan had to let him continue to sleep.

When Lan returned to the scene again, he saw Conan running through the blockade to the body that had just been taken from the photo, and immediately said loudly: "Conan, you can't mess around." Then a police officer picked up Conan, hurriedly ran through the blockade to Conan, and saluted, "I'm really sorry." ”

"Huh?" said the officer, "isn't this Miss Lan?"

"Huh?" Lan took a closer look, "You're Officer Yokozo Sango from Saitama Prefecture, but why are you here?"

Officer Yokomizo smiled, "I was transferred to Shizuoka Prefecture last month. ”

"Huh?" Lan smiled, "So you're promoted to the police department?" Congratulations, congratulations. ”

"TOEFL, TOEFL. The Henggou Police Department put down Conan and scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed.

Conan went to lift the mask of the Night Baron on the face of the corpse, looked at the face, and was surprised, and found that the corpse was wearing only a glove, and his tie was the opposite, as opposed to the tie in his pocket, and he lifted the clothes and looked at it, the belt was tied to the left.

Conan went to look at the belt and let go of the head, Ran saw the appearance of the body and was immediately taken aback, "Mr. Ehara!"

"Oh," the Henggou Police Department asked, "Miss Lan, do you know this guy who dresses like the Night Baron from the TV series?"

"Yes. Lan said a little about the Izu Mystery Tour.

"Find the promoter of the tour, the Duke of Night, and you'll get a free tour, as well as a mysterious program. The Henggou Police Department asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes. Lan confirmed.

The Henggou Police Department instructed his subordinates to gather the members of the suspense tour group, and then asked, "By the way, Miss Lan, where is Mr. Maori?" ......

Emerald Bar on the second floor of the hotel.

Perhaps because of that half of the fee, Maori woke up when he heard that the Duke of Dark Night was dead, "What did you just say?" and drank a glass of sobering wine.

"Mr. Ehara fell to his death in the guise of a night baron, and according to eyewitness testimony, he fell to the bronze statue at about ten o'clock in the evening," the Yokogou police department said. ”

"Ten o'clock!" Maori looked at his watch, it was ten twenty o'clock in the evening, "Ah, it's so late." ”

At this time, someone on the intercom reported, "Police Department, the deceased's face has traces of being beaten." ”

"Ah, that one may have been called by my friend in the afternoon. Lan said, "Henggou Police Department, you have also seen them, that is, Yamazaki and Mei Daiko, he wanted to harass me and Mei Daiko, and was hit twice by Mei Daizi, once on the left side of the face, and once on the front face, between the mouth and nose. ”

"Two hits, indeed. The officer said, "The position is the same as the young lady said." ”

"Midaiko, it's Miss Midaiko Miyamoto. The Yokogou Police Department thought for a while and said, "But, Yamazaki ......"

"My assistant," Maori asked, "by the way, they're upstairs in room 2301, why don't you take a look?" and then asked, "Anyway, have you been to Mr. Ehara's room?"

"I went, but the door was locked, and there was still some work to be done before it could be broken. The Henggou Police Department said, "I think we'll go to Miss Mei Daizi's room 2301 first." ”……

Room 2301 of Yamazaki and Maidiko.

Conan ran back to his room on the way to get his notebook, and when he came over, Yamazaki had just opened the door.

"Uncle Maori, why did you get here? This is, by the way, you're Officer Yokomichi," Yamazaki said, "Hello, I didn't expect to see you here, oh, by the way, this is Shizuoka Prefecture, and it looks like I'm going to call you the police department." ”

"By the way, you're Yamazaki. Henggou Police Department said.

"Yes, I'm Uncle Maori's assistant, Yamazaki. Uncle Maori, Henggou Police Department, please come in and talk about it. Yamazaki led the four into the living room.

Looking at the situation in the living room, the four of them blinked their little eyes twice. There are two large crabs on the dining table in the living room, each with a body of more than half a meter in circumference, and Mei Daizi is holding a huge large crab claw with a radius of more than 20 centimeters at the front end and a total length of nearly one meter, and is grabbing a hand full of meat from it.

Mei Daizi stretched out her hand and asked with a smile, "Uncle, Lan, do you want to come some?"

"No, no. Maori and Lan shook their heads together.

Mei Daiko shrugged, dipped the crab meat in the spices on a few plates in front of her, and ate it. Conan glanced at it, one plate was crab roe, and the others, one of which could be ginger vinegar, and the rest were unrecognizable.

"Ahem!" asked the Henggou Police Department, "Excuse me, where are you at ten o'clock in the evening?"

"We're here, these two crabs were delivered at 9:50, and when Lan called, the waiter hadn't left yet. Yamazaki smiled, "If ten o'clock is the time of the crime, we have an alibi." ”

The Henggou Police Department used the walkie-talkie to ask the subordinates to go to the front desk to check.

Yamazaki asked, "Uncle, the Yokogou Police Department, you will come up and ask us, then, the deceased dressed as the Night Baron will not be Mr. Tokio Ehara who was beaten by Mei Daiko in the afternoon, right?"

"Wouldn't it?" said Midaiko.

"Yes," said the Yokogou Police Department, "the deceased is none other than Mr. Ehara." ”

At this time, someone on the walkie-talkie reported that there was indeed such a thing, because the crab was very large, and the two waiters were very impressed, they entered room 2301 at 9:56, and had been with the gentleman and lady in the room, and the phone came from the room at about 10:5, and the gentleman in room 2301 said that they had eaten supper, and they left at about 10:6. Also, these two crabs were booked in the evening.

"So our suspicions can be cleared, right?" Yamazaki smiled, "We met Mr. Ehara for the first time today, and although there were some conflicts, it wasn't us who suffered, and then he was sent to the medical room, and we went back to the room, and we didn't meet at all, so we had no reason to plan to kill him from the evening." ”

The Henggou Police Department asked again on the walkie-talkie, and the order for room 2301 was at 4:55, and Jiang Yuan Shinan left the clinic at about 5:30.

The Yokogou Police Department said to Yamazaki, "You're right. ”

At this time, a police officer reported that he could break down the door of room 2101 of Tokio Jiangyuan.

"Uncle Maori, let me go with you. Yamazaki said, "Midaiko, if you want to come, come back after eating, don't waste it." ”

"I see. Mei Daiko said. ……

Fang Jiangyuan is outside the 2101 room.

When the Henggou police department arrived, they ordered the officers who had been prepared to start breaking down the door.

The door lock is a slide rail type, and if it is locked, the door can only be pushed open for a short distance, and the police officer used a cutter to cut off the slide rail and open the door.

When I entered the room, I saw a set of clothes and pants on the ground and a room card.

Maori said, "These clothes are all worn by Mr. Ehara tonight. Even the room key was lost here, and Mr. Ehara must have been very drunk to do this. ”

At this time, a gust of wind blew in, Maori saw that the balcony glass door was open, walked over, and found that the balcony was outside the building, and immediately retreated with some weak legs.

The Henggou Police Department came over and said, "It seems that Mr. Ehara fell from this place. ”

"I think it was just a simple accident, you see, his gloves are still clipped to the railing, and I think he probably wanted to jump off in this way and go to another room to scare people, but I didn't expect to lose his life for acting," Maori said. ”

"From, jump from here?" the Henggou Police Department was taken aback, "This is the 21st floor." ”

"Yes, would most people go downstairs from the balcony on the 21st floor without a rope?" Conan said as he made a note in his notebook, "and the key card for this room is obviously in the room, even if he is lucky enough to get to the balcony below and can leave the room downstairs, there is still no way to get back here without the key to this room." ”

"Stupid!" Maori planted a mushroom on Conan's head, "for a drunk, that's not a problem." And you didn't watch TV, did you?"

"Ahh Conan screamed in pain, and the pen in his hand also fell, Conan hurriedly went to pick it up, but the pen rolled out of the balcony through the gap in the railing, "Ah, my pen!"

"TV?" asked the Yokogou Police Department, "Mr. Maori, do you mean the Baron of the Night, which is now on the air?"

"Yes, the main character of this film is a character who crisscrosses buildings," says Maori. ”

The Henggou Police Department said: "By the way, Mr. Ehara is just learning from him. ”

"Yes, it's not at all strange for a drunk person to do something bizarre. "And with Mr. Ehara's height, if he grabs under the railing of the balcony on the 21st floor, he should be able to step on the railing of the balcony on the 20th floor." I think if it weren't for the drunkenness, Mr. Ewon would have been able to jump onto the balcony on the 20th floor. ”

"That's true. The Henggou Police Department smiled, "It's really a Maori detective." ”

"Where, where. Maori laughed smugly, and then said, "Let's go down and see Mr. Ehara's body." ”……

Scene.

Maori saw the body and said: "Luckily, it didn't fall directly on the ground, but on the bronze statue, and it only opened a big hole, and it didn't break in two." Then he took a closer look.

Seeing Conan crawling on the ground, Lan asked, "Conan, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Sister Lan," said Conan, "I'm looking for the pen I just dropped. ”

At this time, the rest of the tour group was brought over by the police.

Satoshi Maeda said, "Is this true, Mr. Mori, did Mr. Ehara really fall downstairs and die?"

Maori stood up and said, "You can't go wrong, it was Mr. Tokio Ehara who fell, and he was dressed as a dark face baron." ”

"I see," said Kenichiro Kaneshiro, "it turns out that the organizer of this tour, the Duke of the Night, is Mr. Ehara. ”

Akiko Sayama said, "I knew that I thought that person was weird at first. ”

Satoshi Maeda said, "Akiko, don't talk about this. ”

Hideko Kamijo asked, "But why did Mr. Ehara fall from the building?"

"It was just an accident, he originally chose to go over from the balcony in order to scare Mr. Kenichiro Kaneshiro in room 2001 downstairs, but he probably drank too much wine and fell off the balcony. "All in all, the Duke of Night is now dead, and the tour is over." ”

"It's weird, it's weird," Conan said, pointing to the tie on the body, "how can this tie be like this, you guys hurry up and look at this tie knot." ”

"Tie knot?" said the Henggou police department, looking at it, "Indeed, this tie knot is reversed." ”

"But maybe it's just his habit," Maori said. ”

"I have a tie of his. Conan pulled out the tie in his pocket.

"What's the deal with this tie?" asked Maori.

Conan said, "This is what Mr. Ehara forgot in the restaurant, and a waitress gave it to me for me to bring to him." ”

The Henggou Police Department took the tie and looked at it, and then said: "That's right, the knot of this tie is the same as that of ordinary people." ”

"Stinky boy!" Mori planted a mushroom on Conan's head, "this kind of thing is long overdue." ”

"Ahh

"Huh?" the Henggou Police Department checked the rest of the body and said, "Mr. Maori, look at the belt here, this is also the opposite, generally speaking, it should be tied to the right, these two points are really unreasonable, this dress is not put on by himself, but someone helped him put it on." ”

"Henggou Police Department, it may also be the cause of drunkenness, there are people who are naked after drinking, not to mention wearing the wrong clothes. "I think it's necessary to check the alcohol level in his body." ”

At this time, an identification officer came to ask for instructions on what to do with the body, whether it should be immediately transported back to the police station, the body was autopsied, and the clothes were fingerprinted.

"This ......" Before the words of the Henggou Police Department could be spoken, a report came over the intercom that an abnormality had been found on the lock of Mr. Ehara's room 2101, and he was asked to come over.

"Is the investigation room ready?" asked a police officer.

"Yes, an office on the third floor. The officer said.

The Henggou Police Department said to the forensic officers: "Then, borrow a room from the hotel to store the body temporarily, and you can first check the fingerprints on the objects that are ready to be checked such as the belt." Then he said to Maori, "Mr. Maori, let's go up and have a look." ”……

Room 2101 of Tokio Ehara.

The forensic officer took the lock and said: "Henggou Police Department, there is a transparent tape on it, and it looks like the fracture is broken because of excessive tension." ”

The Henggou Police Department asked, "So, what does this mean?"

"If you put transparent tape on the lock, you can hang it from the outside. The forensic staff experimented with the next room, glued the transparent tape to the lock, and then held on to the door and pulled hard, and the lock was hung up, and after further force, the transparent tape broke.

The Henggou Police Department said: "I see, this is taking advantage of the length of this padlock. ”

"As long as you take the key out, you can do it again even if it doesn't work once, and perhaps because of the panic, the person using this technique doesn't notice that the tape is being torn off," Maori said. That is, it was a homicide. ”

The Yokogou Police Department said: "In other words, Mr. Ehara was pushed down from this room on the 21st floor to the bronze statue by the real organizer, Duke Dark Night. He changed Mr. Ehara into the clothes of the Night Baron, pushed him down from the balcony, took his room card, hung up the security lock in the same way as before, and waited until the security lock was locked, and then dropped the key through the crack in the door. This makes the room a secret room, and everyone thinks it's an accident. ”

Yamazaki said: "Henggou Police Department, whether the Duke of the Night is dressed like this, we don't know, there are many places where this kind of Night Baron's clothes are sold, I think first find out Mr. Ehara's identity and background, and see if he has any enemies or something." There are hundreds of people in this hotel, there are thousands of people around here, it cannot be ruled out that outsiders know about this tour group, it is deliberate, and there is no sign of a fight here, maybe sleeping pills or drugs or something like that, I think it is necessary to check the containers in this room, as well as the hotel garbage bins. ”

"You have a point. The Henggou Police Department instructed the forensic personnel to start work, and then asked, "Mr. Maori, do you know the identities of Mr. Ganghara and the other people in the tour group?"

"I just know from Miss Kamijo that all of them are engaged in computer software-related industries, except for Mr. Maeda and Miss Akiko, who joined this tour because they liked the Night Baron and were interested in the game of finding the Night Duke. "I think it's better to ask them about their specific identities." ”

"Alright," said the Henggou Police Department, "Mr. Maori, I'll have the tour group members go to the makeshift investigation room at once, and we'll go there." ”……

On the way, Lan asked, "Dad, I haven't asked you yet, what did you do when you were with Miss Kamijo?"

"Huh?" said Maori, "no, nothing was done. ”

"What you didn't do was what you did. Lan asked.

"Nothing is nothing. Maori said.

"Daddy!" Lan was dissatisfied.

"Well, I fell asleep while drinking. Maori said embarrassedly.

"Really?" Lan asked with a smile.

"Really. Maori smiled wryly. ……
