Chapter 4 The embarrassed Matsuda and the cross-water

What a happy life without Conan. It's been a long time since the Grim Reaper has been around, and Matsuda is very satisfied with the current working environment.

"I really hope that Mori will never return to Tokyo with his family. Matsuda said to his partner Koshisui who was on duty tonight, "It's been a long time since I've had such a coherent and easy job. ”

"Senior, you said that it seems that the Maori detective is really the same as the Grim Reaper. "Koshisui, who used to be a detective, certainly didn't want to be treated like this by Matsuda. If the image of a detective had been fixed in Matsuda's mind, would he have seen me like this?

"You don't know how hateful the Maori family is. Matsuda said viciously, "As long as they stay in Tokyo for one day, then we don't want to work for a good day." ”

"How can it be so exaggerated, didn't the seniors know that the Maori detectives came back some time ago?" Yue Shui didn't give up on excusing them.

"What, when, we didn't even call the police?" Matsuda, who was lying on the table, glanced up at Yueshui.

"The seniors are also concerned about the current situation. The newspaper had been reporting the other day that Detective Mr. Mori had solved the Red Horse arson. Yue Shui said weakly: "Even if you don't watch the news, let's search for a lesson arsonist and search a group of fire incidents that have been tossed for several days, at least the seniors must know." ”

"We are a violent crime triad and care about what arsonists do. Matsuda said innocently: "With that kung fu, it's better to rest for a while." I said why Maori has not moved recently, it turns out that he has cheated the brothers in the same class. ”

"Huh. "Koshisui is speechless about Matsuda's prejudice.

"Yue Shui, you go and rest first. Matsuda looked at the time: "I'll stay a little longer, and when there is nothing to do at eleven o'clock, it will be time to sleep." ”

"Xiaosheng is not tired. Yue Shui paused: "Moreover, Xiaosheng enjoys being alone with his seniors at night. ”

As he was talking, Takagi came over to disturb the scenery: "Officer Matsuda, Officer Koshisui, I just received a report that there was a murder in an apartment. ”

Matsuda and Koshisui glanced at each other: "I have a bad premonition, it can't be someone coming back, right?"

The detective profession only appears where something happens, how biased are you, and you push the problem on the detective every time!?Koshisui didn't have time to ask Matsuda when he saw him take Takagi out in a hurry.

Fortunately, Xiaosheng is not a detective now, but a policeman.

"This is here?" Takagi was a little excited when he arrived at the scene with Matsuda and saw the Toto Imaging Center.

"What's that?" Matsuda was very calm, pulling Takagi back to reality: "Over here, what are you looking at on the other side." If you want to be an apartment, this is the only place. ”

When he arrived at the scene, in the messy room, a middle-aged man fell on the sofa with a knife stuck in his chest.

"Isolate all parties first. Matsuda roughly swept the scene and issued a consistent order.

Take the person out of the scene and ask them one by one. At the same time, the accompanying forensic class came in to search for traces of the murderer.

"I just said it always felt wrong. Matsuda had a headache after seeing Conan's imps.

"I can't blame the Maori detectives this time. Yue Shui looked at them and said after being taken out with an unhappy face.

"That's the Maori family. Of course, Matsuda knew who was to blame, but he couldn't tell. Poor Maori had no choice but to take it out and carry the black pot.

"It's a bit too strict for my seniors to say that. "Yue Shui is just casually talking, this kind of occasion is not to entangle this kind of thing.

"The more water, you come and see. Matsuda lifted the blanket on the deceased: "The murderer is a little ruthless, a knife hit the vital point, and the victim almost died on the spot." This kind of angle, accurate Cheng dΓΉ, the murderer is not an ordinary person. As he spoke, Matsuda gestured twice with his hand.

"What is this?" Matsuda gestured as he stood behind the couch and noticed a camera at his feet.

After connecting to the TV, there is a scene of the victim taking a selfie. Then the second section was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, except some sounds were heard. The screams of the dead, and the shouts of others, open the door, and there is no image until the light is turned on.

When the murderer was killing, the lights were turned off in the house? Matsuda and Koshisui glanced at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

There was no other sound recorded at all.

"The deceased's name is Tokuhiro Furumura, 39 years old, who works at the Dongdu Imaging Institute opposite. Takagi began his report again: "According to Mr. Hiroshi Hoshima, who lives in this apartment, I originally planned to play mahjong together after work tonight, so I let the deceased take a rest here now. ”

Since Conan and his five children came with him, the two of them slept on the couch outside. ”

"So Conan, are they in the back room?" Matsuda walked to the door and pushed open the door of the back room. There was only one bed, but five children could still sleep when squeezed together: "Conan, did they find anyone breaking in?"

"Nope. Takagi shook his head: "According to what they said, they heard the screams of the dead and came out of the back room, and they didn't hear any sound on the way." ”

"That's right. Is the murderer Hoshima, who slept in the same room as the deceased?" Matsuda said this, but he didn't think it was that simple: "It seems that this is the only way to think. "But according to Conan's urine, it won't be so simple.

"But it's not that simple. Yue Shui said on the side: "This is an illusion made by the murderer." ”

"Now, it takes four people to play mahjong. Matsuda turned to Takagi: "Go and ask Hoshima who the other two people who have made an appointment to play mahjong are." Also, do they have a locking door when they sleep, and if they do, then who has the key to get in and out. ”

"The seniors also thought that there was a third person in the darkness at that time?" Koshisui heard Matsuda arrange these questions for Takagi to ask, and knew that he also saw the problem.

"The VCR is a bit cleverly positioned. Matsuda voiced his doubts: "It was placed behind the sofa, and there was no sound, and it was opened so abruptly." If it had been accidentally touched, then Hoshima's position at that time should have been standing behind the sofa, not in front. Why would he go around the couch and then kill the dead?"

"The video recorder was deliberately turned on by the murderer. Yue Sui continued: "In order to prove that only Hoshima and the deceased were in the house at that time." Because the storage of the video recorder is not beneficial to Hoshima. ”

"Officer Matsuda, Hoshima said that there are two more people who have the keys here. Takagi came in and further affirmed the inference of the two of them: "It's Keizen Karada and Yoshihiko Negami, who have made an appointment to play mahjong together tonight." ”

"Where are they? They should be nearby?" Matsuda said, "Find both of them right away." ”

Soon both of them were brought in by the Eastern Capital from the opposite side.

"Where were you at 10:55?"

"At that time, the most important part of the grading was done, so I left the work to someone else and went to the break room to rest. There were still three people in the lounge, but everyone was asleep, and I don't know if they paid attention to me. Tang Tian replied.

"Me? I'm alone in the darkroom examining the film. "There are no more witnesses at the root.

"So how is this person in Furumura?" Matsuda asked, "Is there anything that is hated by anyone?"

"If anything, Furumura once missed a scar when he was inspecting the film, so he put it on the developer and broke the film. Gengami said: "That is the end of Hoshima's favorite "Diary of Filial Parents". ”

"Ah, that's true. Tang Tian continued: "This cost us a lot, and all the remake fees that were broken were paid by us." ”

"Checking the feeling of the film being in the darkroom is all fingers, it's a very delicate job. People like Gucun who play mahjong every day until the morning will inevitably be negligent. "The root seems to be complaining.

"Isn't that what you're doing?Mr. Negami?" Matsuda asked curiously.

"Yes, but he used to be a developer. It was only after that incident that Furumura was transferred to sales. Tang Tian said.

Oh? Matsuda looks at the roots. This is a man who works in the dark.

"It's just a movie, do you think Mr. Hoshima will kill someone because of this?" asked Yue Shui puzzled.

"In fact, the "Diary of Filial Parents" has become the pride of our entire studio since the first part. Karada said: "Actually, it's not just Hoshima, I and Negami have some resentment towards the ancient village. But it's not enough to kill, and it's a friend who often plays mahjong together. ”

"We probably know, please go outside and wait a while. Under Matsuda's gaze, Karada and Negami left the room. Then he turned around and asked Yue Shui with a smile, "How is it?

"The two of them? Fundamentally, it's very likely. Yue Shui also smiled, and touched the corner of the table behind him: "Xiao Sheng also found this by the way." ”

This is black tape? Matsuda approached and said, "No, there's fluorescent tape on it." That's how they grasped space in the dark. It's amazing, I'm about to catch up with Uncle **. So the murderer is at the root of a lot of work in the dark? But there's no evidence. ”

"Wait, I remember" Matsuda walked up to the deceased and lifted the blanket to look at it, "Sure enough, it was the third button on his shirt that determined the location of the piercing." ”

"Xiaosheng thinks we can do this. Yue Shui approached Matsuda and muttered a few words.

"Typical detective practice. Matsuda thought about it for a moment: "Is there no other way?" The button is on him, maybe we can search his residence." ”

"It takes time to apply for a search warrant, and it takes time to get an identification. Yue Shui had already seen through Matsuda: "If this murder incident goes through the process, it may take a few days, if you follow Xiaosheng's method, you can force the murderer to confess tonight, and then close the case." ”

"Okay, just do as you say. Matsuda said happily. Fortunately, I came to the world of detectives, if I accidentally crossed into some immortal forensic medicine, it would take a few days to investigate one, and I wouldn't be tired to death.
