Saturday, June 22nd.

In the evening, Ran, Conan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, Midaiko, and Yoko Okino find Mr. Anzai lying in a pool of blood when they pass by today's shooting scene.

After going up to check it out, Yamazaki confirmed that Mr. Anzai was dead.

Mr. Anzai's head was to the left, directly in front of the temple, and his whole body was lying on the edge of the platform in front of the temple door, only his left hand was on the steps under the platform, and on Mr. Anzai's right hand, near the stone lion in front of the door, was written in blood. The murder weapon knife was on the platform on the right side of the body, and the hat and vest were on the platform in front of the head, and there were a large number of blood stains around it, including the two stone lions in front of the temple gate. ……

The police officer who led the team was the Twilight Police Department, and while the forensic staff was working, they were going to learn about the situation from everyone, and the people from Maori and the location team, as well as the abbot, came.

However, before it started, Mori raised two fingers and smiled: "Twilight Police Department, this case is unexpectedly simple, the first point, the knife used as the murder weapon is the prop used in filming, and the second point, the stone lion written in blood by Mr. Anzai refers to the shrine, from these two points, the prisoner is, Miss Taeko Dougaki, you are." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Miss Taeko, can someone testify for you?"

"No," said Miss Taeko, "my grandfather went outside, so I was alone. ”

"But, father," said Lan, "when Miss Taeko returned, she met Mr. Anzai about to leave the hotel, and the two of them passed by. ”

"What?" said Maori, "Miss Taeko has been in the living room since she returned, so isn't it completely impossible to commit a crime?"

Pushing Maori to the side, the Twilight Police Department began to ask everyone about the situation.

Because the knife used as the murder weapon was a prop used in filming, the suspect was locked in the location team.

Tonight, there are Miss Taeko, who has to go home first, Mr. Shimazaki who goes out to buy cigarettes, and Mr. Nachi, who lives at the Teidan Hotel.

Mr. Anzai left the table at less than half past nine, Miss Taeko left the table after Mr. Anzai, Mr. Shimazaki went out, Conan happened to look at the clock, nine forty-five, and came back at ten fifteen.

At ten o'clock, with the alarm of Mr. Anzai's unique watch, Lan and the others noticed that Mr. Anzai had gone out, and then they met Miss Taeko downstairs, and the time when they found the black shadow was about half past ten.

The Twilight Police Department concluded: "So, the time of the crime was between ten and half past ten, and Mr. Shimazaki and Mr. Nachi did not have an alibi. Then he asked, "At about half past ten, Mr. Shimazaki was already at the hotel, so can you tell me where you were at that time?"

Mr. Nachi said: "I was in the bar of the hotel before ten o'clock, and there were a large number of people who could testify for me. ”

"I mean after ten o'clock. ”

Mr. Nachi said, "I'm staying in my hotel room. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Are there any witnesses?"

"No, no. Mr. Nachi said.

At this point, the forensic officer reports that it can be passed. Also, there were no fingerprints on the murder weapon, but there were traces of being wiped.

"The message of death left by Mr. Anthy is a stone lion. Looking at the blood on the ground, the Dusk Police Department asked, "Do any of you have that nickname?"

Maori asked, "Mr. Wisdom?"

"Don't talk nonsense," cried Mr. Nachi, "how could a handsome man like me have a vulgar nickname like the stone lion, it can't be." ”

At this time, an forensic officer arrived to report that some photographs were found in Mr. Anzai's room, which were related to Mr. Nachi.

Seeing the photo, Mr. Nachi and a woman hugged each other intimately, and Mori immediately exclaimed, "Ah! This is actress Ritsuko Ogiyama, but she is already married, I know, it must be Mr. Anzai who blackmailed you with this, so you killed him." ”

"Nope. "No," said Mr. Nachi, "at once. ”

Conan asked, "Sister Yuanzi, did you see it?"

"I heard Mr. Anzai say to Mr. Nachi, 'This is a picture of you and that woman, if you don't want this to get out......,' said Sonoko, "I didn't listen to it later." ”

"Sure enough. Maori smiled, "Mr. Nachi......"

"I have already said that it is not me," cried out Mr. Nachi, angrily, "if I am the murderer, then what do you mean by this stone lion?"

Pointing to the blood characters, Conan said, "Huh, this word is so strange, these words are written in the wrong way." ”

"Here we go again," cried Maori, "you boy, how many times do you want me to say ......?"

"It's obviously an adult's katakana written in the wrong way. Conan said and pointed out the mistake in the strokes, two places where the pen should have been connected were not connected.

"In that case," Mori exclaimed in surprise, "Katakana 'コマイヌ' stone lion will become 'ニマイメ' handsome guy." ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "Mr. Nachi, it seems that the decisive evidence has appeared. ”

"No, it's not me," argued Mr. Nachi, "I did make an appointment with Anthy to meet at this place at half-past ten, but Anthy was dead when I came, it is true. ”

The Dusk Police Department said, "Okay, you don't quibble anymore. ”

"I'm telling the truth, he was really dead by that time. Mr. Nachi hurriedly explained, "I wanted to run away in a panic, but I saw 'ニマイメ' written on the ground, so I used the method of playing with matchsticks and added a few strokes to the word, so that it became 'コマイヌ', which is true." ”

"If you're not the murderer," Maori asked, "why did the victim write the katakana of the handsome guy?"

Mr. Nachi exclaimed, "How could I know about that kind of thing?" ”

"Uncle Maori," Yamazaki whispered, "some of the blood was already congealed when we came. ”

"What?" said Maori, surprised.

Conan muttered to himself, "Hey, why isn't there blood on this watch?"

Glancing at the watch on Mr. Anthy's wrist, Maori muttered to himself, "In that case, this watch was taken off by someone, and then ...... after the blood clotted."

"And the hat on the scene is okay, how could the vest be taken off. Pointing to the vest and hat next to the body, Yamazaki said, "And these things are too close to the body, if it's a fight......

Maori asked, "Lan, when you came out, did you see Mr. Anthy himself?"

"All we heard was the weird alarm of his watch. Lan said.

The garden said: "I saw people in vests and hats going out. ”

Conan muttered to himself, "Hey, it seems that the empty space between these words is different." ”

After taking a closer look at the names and comparing them, Maori was surprised and said, "Ahh......h

At this time, the Twilight Police Department said, "Okay, Mr. Nachi, let's talk about the details in the bureau." ”

"Wait a minute, Dusk Police," Maori said, "Mr. Nachi is not the real murderer. ”

"What?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "Brother Maori, are you telling the truth?"

"If you look at the watch on the body's hand, it's clear that the left hand is covered with blood, but the watch is not stained with blood," Maori said, "that is, after the victim was killed, someone took the deceased's watch off his body." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "So, why isn't Mr. Nachi......"

"Because someone else took it and wanted to postpone the actual time of the crime, I thought of taking the watch back to the hotel, and deliberately made the alarm go off in the victim's room, but on the way back to the hotel, I found that there were blood stains, so I wiped the blood stains off the watch. "At ten o'clock, they heard the watch's characteristic alarm in the hotel. And at ten o'clock, Mr. Nachi had an alibi. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked in surprise, "Isn't that man Mr. Anzai?"

"Don't you think the position of the vest and hat is unnatural?" Mori laughed, "I think at ten o'clock, that Mr. Anzai was dressed up by someone else, and the man took Mr. Anzai's watch, set the alarm in his room, put on the hat and vest in the room, disguised himself as Mr. Anzai, left the hotel, returned to the shrine, put the watch back on Mr. Anzai's left hand, put the hat and vest next to him, and then wrote down 'ニマイメ' in order to blame Mr. Nachi Shingo." Then he asked, "Am I right, Mr. Yuji Shimazaki in order to cover up the crimes of the real murderer?"

"You're wrong, I'm not covering up the murderer," Mr. Shimazaki said, "I'm the murderer." ”

"What?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "So, if you want to blame Mr. Nachi, why don't you just write Nachi, aren't you trying to create false evidence?"

"I ......," Mr. Shimazaki squeaked, speechless.

He couldn't write Nachi, because by that time, the victim had already written all the words alluding to the murderer on the ground. Maori smiled, "As long as you remove two of the words 'ニマイメ', it is the original text written by the victim, 'マメ'." ”

"Dougaki?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "You mean Miss Taeko Dougaki?"

Abbot Dougaki shouted, "How can it be Taeko, how can it be?"

Lan and Yuanzi shouted, "Impossible!"

"It's me, it's me who killed Anthy. Mr. Shimazaki exclaimed.

"Don't say it, Mr. Shimazaki, there was blood sprayed everywhere around the deceased, and the murderer should have blood sprayed on his body," Mori said, "The only person who has time to change out of her bloody clothes and wash the blood off her body is Miss Taeko, who lives here." ”

"But, but......" Mr. Shimazaki said.

"Yuji, don't say any more. Taeko said.

Mr. Shimazaki shouted, "Taeko!"

Miss Taeko said softly, "Mr. Mori is not wrong at all, I killed Anzai. ”……
