Chapter 59: An Impossible 4-Minute Crime

Gao Cheng gasped and stopped his bicycle and found that police cars were already parked under the TV station building.

Next time, you must buy a car......

The one who was killed was Michihiko Suwa, 37, the producer of the TV station...... The murder weapon was a pistol ......"

At the scene of the murder in the mixing room, Michihiko Suwa's body was slumped under a window, and the window above was covered with splattered blood, leaving a bullet hole, and forensic personnel took pictures of the scene one after another.

Twilight leaned over to the corpse: "A shot hit the head, piercing the glass, it's a hassle to find the bullets that flew out......"

"Officer, there are other bullet holes in the wall! Two behind the poster, one next to the clock, plus the victim's, a total of four shots were fired here! ”

"All four shells are in the room."

"Well, there is also a pistol with a silencer next to the corpse, it should be this gun that shot it, take it for testing immediately!" Twilight said in a deep voice.

"Officer Twilight," Mori Kogoro said confidently, "it's easy, there is only one entrance to the room, and the killer should have broken into the room and forced the victim to the window, and then shot him to death with a random gun, one of which hit the head, and then the killer threw the pistol next to the body and fled...... That's it, right? ”

"Well, it should be." Twilight looked at Mori, who was smirking as she spoke, and a cold sweat ran down her forehead.

Although Maori is now a detective, when they were still working as criminal policemen, they were taken crooked by this guy every time, and it felt like they were going around a maze......

Wiping his cold sweat, he turned to Gao Cheng, who came to the door, and asked, "Brother Chenghu, Maori is here to do a show, why are you here?" ”

"Ha, I smell the case...... Actually, I wanted to come over and talk to Mr. Suwa about the show. ”

Gao Cheng walked to Suwa Michihiko's body with a dry smile, and his expression immediately became solemn: "I didn't expect Mr. Suwa to be shot ......"

When he received the case released by the system, he was still thinking that he could ask Suwa Michihiko about the show by the way, but it wasn't until he came to the scene that he knew that it was Suwa Michihiko who died.

"Joto," Conan said in a low voice, pointing to the side of the corpse, "There is still blood stained next to this telephone receiver, and he may have been talking to someone on the phone when he was killed, so maybe the other party heard something......

Gao Cheng looked down and found that it was an old-fashioned mobile phone: "It's been so long, if someone hears it, they will definitely call the police, right?" ”

That being said, he asked Twilight, "Officer Twilight, can you find out Mr. Suwa's call logs?" He may still be on the phone when he was killed. ”

"Phone?" Twilight hurriedly ordered a police officer, "Investigate immediately!" ”

He still trusts Gao Cheng a lot, although he always likes to talk about money when he is young, but he is actually a very enthusiastic person, at least he has helped the police twice for free, and the most important thing is that he is reliable, unlike Maori who is sometimes shrewd and sometimes confused.

After the police officer left, Twilight continued to question the staff, "Have you seen any suspicious people?" ”

"No, because Mr. Suwa is here alone."

"Break everyone up?"

"It's all my fault," the host of the show, Takashi Matsuo, suddenly said sadly, "Actually, Suwa was waiting for me, because he said that he had important things to talk about after the show, so he specially branched out from others, saying that he didn't want people to hear ......"

"Then there are no witnesses," Twilight said with a headache, "and now we have to wait for the call logs to be found." ”

Xia Long glanced at Matsuo Takashi suspiciously, and at this time, the mixing room was already full of reporters, and Matsuo Takashi followed behind the coroner who carried Suwa's body, and was almost out of the room when he was overwhelmed by various microphones like long guns and short guns.

"Mr. Matsuo!"

"Mr. Matsuo, how are you feeling right now?"

"Now it's rumored that your show is going to be canceled, could it be that your fans can't accept it? Could you please answer me? ”

"You're not done yet!" Takashi Matsuo yelled and interrupted the reporter's questioning, and said with tears in his eyes, "You're right, we talked about the cancellation of the show, but Mr. Suwa still wanted me to continue to host later, so he asked me to come to this room tonight......

"I am here to announce to you that I will continue to preside over Mr. Suwa's legacy, and I will bring this case to the screen and do my best to track down the murderer until the demon who killed Mr. Suwa is caught!"

In front of a program monitor in the mixing room, Gao Cheng silently looked at Takashi Matsuo who was in tears in the camera screen.

"I feel like this person's performance is too strange, and he seems to be happy even though he is crying......"

"It's suspicious," Conan thought as he held his chin beside him, looking like a little adult, "I heard that he is also very good marksman." ”

"You little ghost jumping up and down the murder scene is even more suspicious," Gao Cheng glanced at Conan, "If it were me, I would have thrown a bear child like you out." ”

"What's jumping up and down? I'm just following Uncle Maori. Conan's face collapsed, he was indeed beaten by Maori all the time, and he was often thrown out.

"Officer!" The police officer who had gone out before hurried back and handed a form to Twilight, "The call log has been checked!" ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Twilight nodded, took the form and looked at it, frowning.

After a while, Takashi Matsuo and several other related staff members were called to the scene again.

"I did call Mr. Suwa at 8:15," explained a staff member, "and he answered the phone at that time, and then he didn't answer at 55......

"What are you calling him for?" Twilight asked.

"I asked him to do it," Matsuo explained, "because I still have to do a show......

Gao Cheng had already read the call logs, and locked his eyes on Matsuo Takashi: "Mr. Matsuo, you also called Mr. Suwa in the middle, you should still be doing the show when you called, right?" ”

"This," Takashi Matsuo paused, as if he had long thought that Gao Cheng would ask like this, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Actually, there is a short film played in the middle of the show for 4 minutes, and I left for a while because of my stomach discomfort, and by the way, I called Suwa again......"

Gao Chenghu asked: "Is this really the case?" It's a coincidence that you should have made the same call at the time of the crime, and I've heard that you're very good at marksmanship. ”

"You...... Are you doubting me? ”

Matsuo Takashi said innocently: "I just called for a while and hung up first, and then said that I was recording the show from 8 to 9 o'clock, but I left for a while when I played a 4-minute short film, from the studio on the 9th floor where I hosted the show to this room on the 4th floor, unless I took the elevator, it should be more than 4 minutes to go back and forth as fast as possible." ”

He was very surprised when he saw Gao Cheng appear before, but soon he thought about everything in advance, as an excellent detective program host, he has conceived countless cases, and after his perfect crime plan is successful, I believe that even if two detectives are present, they will not find any flaws.

Sweeping his gaze over Gao Cheng and Mori Kogoro, Matsuo Takashi was not worried and said, "If you don't believe it, try it yourself, so that you can prove my innocence immediately!" ”

"Okay, Maori, go run and see!" Twilight immediately turned to Mori Kogoro Road.

"Ah, you want me to run?"

"Why would I do such a thing? Obviously, the kid from the castle is also ......" Mori Kogoro ran up the stairs depressedly, he used to do things under Twilight, and he didn't react for a while.

By the time Mori Kogoro ran to the studio on the 9th floor and hurried back to the 4th floor, the time had greatly exceeded 6 minutes.

"6 minutes and 48 seconds!"

"Maori, can't you hurry up?" Twilight grumbled.

"No way!!" Maori panted and yelled, "My heart is about to crack now!" ”

"That should prove my innocence, right?" Takashi Matsuo said with a smile.

Gao Cheng looked at Matsuo Takashi's smug appearance and frowned.

No matter how fast it is, it can't be less than 6 minutes, and Uncle Maori didn't stop for a moment to spend so long, almost the limit.

Last time, Michihiko Suwa took him and Mori on a tour of the building, but because of the history, the stairs here are not connected, and it takes a lot of time to go through the corridors to find the stairs almost every two floors.

Even if you can go back and forth within 4 minutes, there is surveillance in the corridor and elevator room, and there are a lot of people on the TV station, so it is easy to be witnessed.

"Officer," one of the officers reported, "I've seen the surveillance of the elevator and corridor at the time of the attack, and I don't see Mr. Matsuo." ”

"In this case, it is indeed impossible for Mr. Matsuo to commit a crime......

Twilight groaned and turned to Mori Kogoro and Takasei, "Mori, Brother Joto, what do you think?" ”

Mori Kogoro wondered, "Mr. Matsuo, didn't you hear anything when you called?" Mr. Suwa should have been shot at the time. ”

"No, maybe I just hung up the phone because the time is in a hurry......," Takashi Matsuo sighed and shook his head, turning back to the camera, "Anyway, I'm innocent, and everyone in the audience can testify to this." ”

"It's hard to say whether he is innocent or not," Gao Cheng said coldly, "There may be some hidden modus operandi in this case, a modus operandi that can kill Mr. Suwa in four minutes." ”

"Hey, do you still think I'm a murderer?" Takashi Matsuo smiled in a cold sweat, "Detective Joto, just because you are now a detective, you can't talk nonsense about wronging people like before, if you don't make it, your reputation will be ruined." ”

Gao Cheng's eyes shrank, and this guy Matsuo actually advanced his past black history in front of the camera.

It is true that the original owner made a mistake once, but it is not the same now as it was then......

"Mr. Matsuo, I just wanted to say that you are still suspicious," Gao Cheng turned to look at the scene of the murder and said, "As for who the murderer is...... I'm going to find out who is going to be the murderer! ”
