"Sugimori, I'm Qinghua, I drank too much last night, I'm sorry, I'm not so angry now. It's because you refuse to take me to your house that I think you have another woman behind my back...... Then please contact me if you hear a message. ”

"When it comes to hay fever, it seems to be more serious today...... How do you deal with hay fever? That's right, today, April 22nd, the special information on life is hay fever. ”

"Drip ~ 11:25 a.m., Friday. ”

Turning off the recorder, Matsuda asked, "What kind of news program is that background?" ”

"Okay. Takagi took a small notebook and wrote it down.

Matsuda then turned on the voice recorder and pressed the second message.

"I'm Hiragaki, and I want to apologize to you in person, and I'm on my way to your house right now...... Since you're not at home, let's talk about it another day. I'm really sorry about the car. Good bye. ”

"The next stop is Okuho, Okuho. Please pay attention to the ...... when you get off the bus"

"Drip ~ 11:27 a.m., Friday. ”

"The train is broadcasting. Matsuda asked Takagi, "Where is Okuho Station?"

"If you get here by train, it's at least 30 minutes. Takagi said, touching the distance.

"I'm Inaba from Xingeikan, I want to ask how the report you wrote is doing? Editor-in-chief, what is the number today?"

"April 22 at 11:28 a.m. ”

"That's it, there's still a week until the deadline, so keep it up...... By the way, I don't care about that insider report anymore, and I will ask for more advice in the future. ”

"Editor-in-chief, are you really going to watch the night game today?"

"Don't worry, it's in the Eastern Capital Arena today. ”

"Drip ~ 11:29 a.m., Friday. ”

Matsuda turned off the recorder and said to Takagi, "Contact the editor-in-chief of this Koeikan and see if he can be sure of Inaba's alibi." Oh, by the way, and the connection, uh, what the hell is the Dongdu Dome?"

"It's a famous gymnasium in Tokyo. Takagi said weakly. Don't you know this?

"Reach out to them and ask what the games were last night. Matsuda said, "By the way, where is the Koeikan?"

"If you take the tram and have to reverse, it takes an hour by car. Takagi said.

"You know a lot. Matsuda patted Takagi's shoulder with satisfaction: "In the future, transfer my group to be on duty with me." ”

Well, isn't it the quality that a criminal police officer should have? about some architectural coordinates in the jurisdiction or something. Takagi remembered that he had to look at the map of Tokyo every night when he saw a headache, and he remembered a lot of coordinates and locations. Then look at Matsuda, who doesn't understand anything, am I more powerful than Officer Matsuda?

"I'm the homeroom teacher of Edan Elementary School's 1st grade Class B...... Kobayashi"

"Drip ~ 11:30 a.m., Friday. ”

The fourth call turned out to be Conan and Xiao Ai's homeroom teacher, Kobayashi. Matsuda looked at her and saw her helpless look. knew that the murderer was not her, but he couldn't help but tease her: "Mr. Xiaolin, you said that you called him at 11:22, so why is the prompt here 11:30?"

"Ahh......h ”

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Seeing Xiao Ai leaning over again, Matsuda jumped up alertly this time.

"You don't doubt my teacher, do you? Xiao Wai said dissatisfiedly: "If Mr. Kobayashi is the murderer, he will definitely force his way into the room when he finds the body, so that whether you find your hair or fingerprints after you come, it can be explained." ”

"That's right, Mr. Kobayashi won't do bad things. The remaining treasures of the Junior Detective Corps screamed.

"Do you want me to check it? Matsuda looked at them: "I've never wronged a good person. ”

"It's not necessary at all. Conan stood up at this time: "Teacher Kobayashi was at school all the time yesterday morning, and the students in the class can testify, so it's impossible to run over and commit murder for ten minutes between classes and then run back." What should be done now is to contact the other three people. ”

"Well, there's one more thing to do before that. Matsuda looked at the time on the landline, and then checked the time on his watch. It seems that if Sumiko Kobayashi is excluded, then the murderer's time of crime will be between 11:22 and 11:30 yesterday morning. Who used those eight minutes to falsify the alibi?

Takagi reached out to three people by phone.

The first person on the phone, whose full name was Haruka Pengtian, was a 29-year-old freelancer. He claimed that the call was made on his mobile phone in his apartment and that there were no witnesses. And her address is Rizencho 1-chome, which is quite far from here.

The full name of the second person who left the message was Toshinori Higaki, a 33-year-old gas station clerk. When I called, I was in the carriage of the Dongdu Ring Line, and there was also no evidence. and learned that the conflict arose because he was driving the victim's car and rubbed a telephone pole.

The third person's full name is Atsushi Inaba, a 32-year-old editor, who works as an editor at the Koeikan mentioned in the message. And the editor-in-chief who spoke in the message was not very sure that Inaba was in the editorial office yesterday, because there were a lot of editors coming in and out, and the editor-in-chief was not sure.

Then the Junior Detectives made a meritorious service, and they heard that something was wrong. In Toshinori Higaki's recording, the commander's announcement only says, "Please be careful when you get off the bus", and the usual words say, "Be careful when you get off the bus."

Matsuda picked up the recorder and played it again, and sure enough, he only said "Please be careful when you get off the bus". After contacting the commander, I found out that he had hay fever and didn't hold back his sneeze at the time, so the flower in the back didn't say it. And I didn't stay up until noon, so I found someone to go home to rest at twelve o'clock.

If it was such an unexpected incident, then it turned out that it was not Hiragaki's recording prepared in advance, and he was indeed at Okuho Station, which was far away from here. Then it is impossible for him to rush over and commit murder, this is the second person to be excluded after Kobayashi.

"Then call Haruka Bunda and Atsushi Inaba to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning now?" asked Matsuda.

"Have you found out about the TV program in the background of Pengtian's message?" Matsuda asked suddenly.

"Ahh Takagi took out a small notebook and looked at it and said.

"She might also use the TV in this room as a backdrop. Matsuda pondered: "Although Atsushi Inaba's message is more credible, the editor-in-chief who is a witness is not sure about yesterday morning. ”

"Takagi, what was the match at the Toto Dome last night?

Takagi was just about to answer, when the bell rang again at the "Dangdang" railroad crossing. It was still the same for more than two minutes.

When it was over, Matsuda said to Takagi, "Contact the station right away and see if the alarm at this railroad crossing has gone off after eleven o'clock in the morning, and if so, I need the exact time." ”

"Yes!" Takagi quickly called the station, then ran back to tell Matsuda: "Officer Matsuda, the alarm goes off at 11:24 a.m. every day at this railroad crossing. ”

"If it lasts for two minutes, then the phone message at 11:25 in Pengtian Qinghua will not exist and it will not be recorded around here. Matsuda said to Takagi, "As long as Atsushi Inaba comes over and cooperates with the investigation." We're now trying to figure out what the editor-in-chief's recording was all about. You contact the editor-in-chief and ask him to remember it again. ”

After Takagi left, Matsuda found a place to sit down and began to put Inaba's messages over and over again.

"Editor-in-chief, what time is it today? ”

"April 22nd, 11:28 a.m. ......"

"Editor-in-chief, are you really going to watch the night game today?"

"Don't worry, it's in the Eastern Capital Arena today. ”

Dome? Matsuda shouted loudly outside the house: "Takagi, ask if the editor-in-chief went to the Dongdu Dome to watch the game last night!"

When Inaba came over, Matsuda looked up and down, grabbed Takagi and said something secretly, and then asked him, "Where were you between 11:22 and 30 yesterday morning?"

"I'm in the editorial office, have you heard my message? Inaba replied.

"I remember it so clearly. Matsuda said, "I must have thought about it many times." Or was it that yesterday's phone call particularly impressed you?"

"I've always had a good memory. Inaba said.

"Can you tell us about your editor-in-chief's health?" Matsuda asked.

Inaba didn't expect Matsuda to ask such a question. After a pause, he said, "It shouldn't be a big deal." ”

"Is there no problem today or yesterday?" Matsuda asked, "If you had been in the editorial office yesterday, you would have noticed a little difference." ”

"That ......," Inaba said uncertainly, "maybe I have some cold, I don't know." Because there's a lot of work at hand. ”

"Yesterday your editor-in-chief had hay fever, so it was impossible for him to go to the Eastern Capital Dome to watch the game. Matsuda said and released a recording of Inaba's phone call.

"Editor-in-chief, are you really going to watch the night game today?"

"Don't worry, it's in the Eastern Capital Arena today. ”

"Don't you think it's strange?" Matsuda asked, "He seems to want to go." ”

"Who made the editor-in-chief a die-hard fan, usually even if he has a cold, but I don't know if I went last night or not. Inaba explained.

"You just bought your gloves, and you haven't even taken off the price tag. Matsuda suddenly changed a question: "Looking at your muddy clothes and shoes, you must be a person who doesn't pay attention to appearance." But suddenly a new pair of gloves came to see us, which was very suspicious. I guess I found something on the road that we couldn't see, so I changed it temporarily. ”

"Ah, this is ......" Inaba still wanted to argue.

Matsuda raised his hand to interrupt him, "I've asked Takagi to take the forensic class to your motorcycle. As soon as I entered the room, I saw unnatural blood stains on the landline, as well as blood stains under the doorknob when I went out. How can a man like you have the audacity to kill someone?"

In the midst of the drastic change in Inaba's complexion, Takagi ran up and said loudly, "Officer Matsuda, I checked the luminol reaction on Atsushi Inaba's motorcycle, and the forensic division collected a sample, and as long as it was proved that it was the victim's bloodstains, there was conclusive evidence." ”

Hearing Takagi's words, Inaba's face changed drastically, and he couldn't find any excuses anymore.
