In Shiro Konno's room in 2002. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh? Did the old man really say that? ”
"That's right."
Officer Yokogou confirmed.
"Hmph~~ He really dares to say it, in our people. The person who hates the Duke of Night the most is obviously him. ”
"What does that mean?"
Officer Henggou asked suspiciously.
"Because the old man's biological son was killed by the virus."
Shiro Konno sneered.
"Virus? Did his son die because of the virus? ”
Officer Henggou asked.
"What does this have to do with the Duke of Night?"
Maori asked.
"I don't know."
Mr. Konno fiddled with his laptop and said with a blank face.
"Good boy! You want to play dumb! ”
Mori grabbed Shiro Konno's tie and said angrily.
Conan leans on his stomach from the window closest to the balcony of room 2101 and looks at the balcony of room 2101: this window is closest to the balcony upstairs. But there's no way he's going to jump out of here.
"I really don't know. But I have a valuable piece of information to tell you. ”
"Miss Uejo and Mr. Waehara were originally a couple. It's just that they divorced three years ago. ”
Shiro Konno sneered at his laptop.
Hideko Uejo's room at No. 2102.
"That's right, the Ehara Shio who died this time is indeed my ex-husband. That was three years ago, though. ”
"I didn't know he was a hacker at the time."
Hideko Uejo confessed her previous relationship with Tokio Ehara.
"Hacker?"
Mori Kogoro asked suspiciously.
"It's a bad person who steals other people's computer data without authorization. As long as it's someone who uses a computer, everyone hates hackers. ”
"Actually, I'm relieved that he's dead."
"By the way, I remember that Akiko Sayama's brother used to run a small computer software company."
"Speaking of which, Miss Sayama is not exempt from suspicion."
"So, every member of our tour group has a motive to kill him, right? Mr. Detective. ”
Hideko Kamijo pointed out the suspicion of Miss Akiko Sayama again.
At this time, Conan was rummaging through Miss Hideko Uejo's bag.
"Huh? This is the same medicine as Miss Akiko's pocket! So is this medicine. ”
Conan suddenly found a plate of sleeping pills in Akiko Sayama's bag that was identical to the sleeping pills in Akiko Sayama's pocket.
"Alas~ What kind of medicine is this?"
Conan raised the medicine in his hand and asked Hideko Kamijo.
"Hey! Don't just touch it, okay! ”
Seeing the medicine in Conan's hand, Hideko Kamijo ran over in a panic and snatched the medicine from Conan's hand.
"That. Is it a cold medicine? ”
Conan asked innocently in a childlike tone.
"Hmm. That's right. ”
Hideko Kamijo paused and replied.
"yes, I thought it was sleeping pills. It's me who is too careful. ”
Hideko Uejo's face changed suddenly when she heard Conan's words.
However, Conan was thrown out of the room by Maori.
"What a kid is running around at night! Hurry back to your room and go to bed! ”
As he walked, Conan sorted out the room information of all the members of the tour group on a notepad.
Looking at the information, Conan found that if the murderer wanted to escape from Mr. Ehara's room at No. 2101, he would have to borrow Mr. Ehara's room downstairs at No. 2001 Kaneshiro and his servant Miss Hayashi.
Conan was passing by Tokio Ehara's room, which was on the same floor as Hideko Uejo, when he saw two police officers searching for evidence inspecting the burglar-proof lock ring that had been sawn off from Mr. Ehara's room, and a small piece of scotch tape was glued to the front of the ring.
Seeing this, Conan suddenly thought of the murderer's method of creating a secret room.
At this time, in room 1902, Xiaolan was sitting on the bed alone in a daze.
"He got out of the way! The Duke of Night was able to dodge my attacks with complete precision! Of all the members of the group, he is the only one who can do this kind of thing! ”
"There's no one else but him."
"What the hell am I going to do! Tell me. Shinichi! ”
In the dark room, Xiaolan left sad tears alone.
"Knock knock~~"
"Open the door, Sister Lan."
Ran walked out of the bedroom and saw Conan knocking on the door outside the room. The door was reversed locked with an anti-theft lock from the inside.
"Conan. What's wrong? ”
"Are you locking the burglar lock?"
Opening the door, Conan was standing on a chair outside the door.
"Weird, I remember I had a lock."
Xiaolan said in a daze.
Conan jumped out of his chair: the experiment was successful!
"Sister Xiaolan, are you crying?"
Conan looked up and saw that Xiaolan's eyes were red, and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.
"No, I don't. I'm yawning! ”
Xiaolan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and panicked.
"Then I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back right away."
After saying that, Conan ignored Xiaolan's reaction and ran out directly.
The elevator door opened, and the two policemen who had been searching for evidence in front of Mr. Ehara's door upstairs were also inside.
Conan stood in the elevator and looked down and thought: as long as you use this method, anyone can commit a crime! A person's alibi must now also be established.
"By the way, have you heard about Misawa?"
"Didn't he get knocked unconscious in some office where the body was kept?"
The other two policemen in the elevator chatted.
"But Misawa is a master of karate."
"yes, he's the highest number of players in our bureau."
"yes, even if you're not careful, you'll pass out."
Conan showed a surprised expression when he heard this: Wait a minute, could it be that the murderer is him!
Now that I think about it. When Duke Dark Night was at the elevator door, he was indeed not kicked by Xiaolan, if he could completely see through Xiaolan's attack, among all the members of the group, only the national karate champion Satoshi Maeda could do this.
There is no one else but him!
I see, all that time, Xiao Lan didn't chase the escaped Duke of the Night.
Because Xiaolan has noticed that the Duke of Dark Night is Mr. Maeda.
Temporary investigation room in the hotel.
"Knock knock~~"
"Officer Henggou, we have brought all the relics in the victim's house."
Two police officers who searched for the evidence walked in with the evidence in their arms.
"Officer Henggou, there's something strange on the anti-theft lock."
The police officers who searched the evidence removed the plastic bag containing the anti-theft lock.
"Let me see."
Mori Kogoro took the plastic bag and wrapped the anti-theft lock inside in a handkerchief and took it to his eyes for a closer look.
"Huh? It's Scotch tape! ”
"Knock knock~~"
There was a knock on the door to the makeshift cell from the outside.
Officer Henggou walked over and opened the door, but it was locked from the inside with an anti-theft lock.
Through the crack in the door, Conan was seen standing outside the door with a stool cushion.
"Who locked the anti-theft lock?"
Officer Yokogou asked his subordinates angrily.
"Officer Henggou, I locked it from the outside."
Conan stood outside the door and boasted.
"It's just using scotch tape, and first cutting the scotch tape in the appropriate place. Then leave a few centimeters at the end of the end, fold the remaining part in half and glue it in half, and then stand up the anti-theft lock perpendicular to the wall, and then stick the few centimeters reserved before the tape tightly on the anti-theft lock. ”
"Then close the door, and finally pull the tape from the outside, and the security lock will snap onto the door. Then pull it out hard, and there will be no evidence left when the tape is pulled out. ”
"In this way, the perfect chamber is complete."
Conan perfectly recreates the secret room scene in Tokio's room in Ehara.
"That's right. So that's it! ”
Officer Henggou suddenly figured out the murderer's modus operandi.
"So the murderer took the victim's key, helped the victim change into the clothes of the Duke of the Night, pushed the victim downstairs, and then after escaping, he used the method just now to lock the anti-theft lock."
"Once you've made sure the security lock is locked, you can drop the key card through the crack in the door and into the room, and then you can escape."
"In this way, the inside of the room will become a secret room, so that people will subconsciously think that Miss Sayama lying in the secret room is the murderer."
Officer Yokomizo, who felt like he was about to solve the case, became very excited.
Conan frowned beside him: Why did the murderer appear in front of Xiaolan and clear Miss Sayama's suspicion after making Miss Sayama the biggest annoyance?
