Chapter 249: Photography, Death Message?
"By the way, why don't you have an LD projector here?" Tang Ze glanced around the living room and said strangely: "It stands to reason that there are so many LD tapes, why don't there be machines?" β
"There's one less megaphone." Conan pointed to the only megaphone next to the TV.
"Eighty percent of them are taken for repair." Mori Kogoro said disdainfully when he heard this.
"No, it's my husband who will..."
"Hey... Those little things have nothing to do with the case! β
Yoshikawa Takezo was a little nervous for some reason, and immediately interrupted Kyoko Shibata's words, "I still want to hurry home, can you hurry up." β
"Then tell me your friend's phone number, I want to confirm your testimony." When Yokozo heard Yoshikawa's urging, he asked the two for the contact information of their friends.
After asking Mrs. Shibata's friends who played golf together, as well as the contact information of Yoshikawa's players, Yokozo Sango immediately sent someone to contact him for verification.
First of all, Kyoko Shibata's alibi, according to Mrs. Shibata's friend, because the program channel on the car happened to be announcing the time at that time, so she clearly remembered that she received Mrs. Shibata at five o'clock sharp.
Then after playing golf, it was about seven o'clock when Mrs. Shibata came back.
And this time is almost the time when Tang Ze and his group came over, which is basically right.
On the other hand, the publisher who came to deliver the paper also contacted and confirmed that the newspaper was delivered here around 6 o'clock.
In addition, from the video tape that Mr. Shibata recorded today's TV series "The Legend of Sword Warrior",
"Well..."
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Yokozo Sango touched his chin and muttered: "Judging from the video tape that Mr. Shibata recorded today's TV series "The Legend of Sword Bravery", the time of the murder should be after this, that is, the period between eight o'clock and eight forty-five..."
"In other words, Mrs. Shibata's alibi has been established, and the suspicion has been ruled out?" Mori Kogoro turned his head to look at Kyoko Shibata behind him.
"Well, that's for sure, of course it's not me!" Kyoko Shibata heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly said.
"Mr. Yoshikawa, when you met the Maori detectives and their group, their behavior was very suspicious."
Because many prisoners have pulled people together to act as the first perpetrator of the crime, Yokogou Sango looked at Yoshikawa with suspicion in his eyes: "What are you doing at eight o'clock in the morning?" Can anyone prove it? β
"I was sleeping at home at the time..."The bald Yoshikawa Takezo stammered when he heard Yokozo's question, touching his pitiful hair.
"And can anyone prove that you sleep at home?"
"No, I'm living alone..."
Yoshikawa Takezo felt that if it went on like this, it seemed that he would be investigated as a suspect and hurriedly remedied: "Although no one has proved it, I have a message on his phone!" It's probably time to play mahjong later, so I went to him right away and told him to get up.
If I'm a prisoner, there's no need to waste time doing this, right? β
But he never thought that Yoshikawa Takezo's words of defense aggravated Yokozo's suspicions, and he looked down at Yoshikawa, a middle-aged little man, and said, "But you may also pretend to be the opposite, deliberately misleading us to do this." β
"Wait!! β¦ Then why do you suspect me alone! β
Yoshikawa Takezo was a little anxious after being bluffed by Yokozo Sango, and hurriedly pointed to Maori Kogoro and others: "That... What about them? Although there is also a criminal ... But... You can't exclude everyone just because you know each other! β
"Hahaha... No way, no way... This gentleman will never kill anyone! β
Yokozo Sango smiled and waved his hand: "Because he is the "sleeping Kogoro of the famous detective", and he is also the detective I respect the most!"
It was Conan-kun, who lived at Mr. Maori's house, and Lansang, the daughter of the Maori detective.
As for the last beautiful lady, of course she is the Maori lady."
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, several people had a sluggish expression, but they didn't expect Henggou Shenwu to misunderstand it so much.
"I'm right, Mr. Maori." After the introduction, Yokogou asked deliberately.
"Do we two look like a couple?" After Maori Kogoro heard Yokozo's words, his face was full of heart.
"You misunderstood!"
In the face of this misunderstanding, Chi Bo Jinghua on the side immediately vetoed: "My surname is Chi Bo, the reason why I am with Mr. Maori is that I entrusted him to help find my old classmate Mr. Shibata and get back the photo I left with him before. β
"Photos?" Yokogou Sango wondered after hearing the other party's words.
"It should be the one held in the hands of the deceased, I checked it before you came, and found that it is very similar to the young girl and Chi Bo women's style above."
After taking down this photo, Yokozo Sango looked at it and found that sure enough, as Tang Ze said, the difference between the young girl in the photo and the Chi Bo in front of him was only the difference in age and temperament.
"Yes, that's the picture I commissioned the MΔori detectives to find." Chi Bo Jinghua didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation at all, and generously admitted.
Sure enough, this photograph held by the deceased in his hand aroused Yokozo's suspicions.
"How is that possible! Such a beautiful lady Chi Bo can never be a murderer..."
Maori Kogoro seemed to be afraid that the other party would misunderstand and suspect her and lose his favor, so he turned his head and glanced at the other party weakly and excused him: "And it stands to reason that this photo should be sandwiched in the book, and when I took it, I accidentally fell to the ground." β
And at this moment, Tang Ze couldn't stand the appearance of Maori Kogoro's licking dog.
Even if you know that Ikenami Jinghua is not a murderer, you can't be so biased, and there is a book under Mr. Shibata's corpse.
Sure enough, the forensic staff on the side soon found the book called "Thor's Gate".
At this time, even Maori Kogoro couldn't excuse him, and looked at Chi Bo Jinghua's face and said with a serious face: "Ms. Chi Bo, you borrowed it at that time... It can't be this one, right? β
"That's right... It's the book "Thor's Gate". β
Chi Bo Jinghua nodded, and said very calmly: "Twenty years ago, I just wanted Mr. Shibata to borrow this book, and then I forgot to take out the photo as a bookmark.
This is precisely to get this photo back. β
"Could it be that the murderer is..."After listening to the other party's words, Yokogou Sango looked at the crumpled photo in his hand that had been held by the deceased, and when he looked at Chiba Jinghua, the suspicion on his face became more and more obvious.
It's no wonder that Yokozo Sango has such a reaction, after all, it is something that the deceased tried his best to grasp before he died, and it is easy to think that this will be the death message of the deceased before he died.
