"Here's this month's bill, and there are fan letters."

In the Chenghu Detective Agency, Xiao Ai held a stack of letters and put them in front of Gao Cheng.

"Why did you save so much?"

"Because it was sent to the TV station, it was only sent by the daily sale TV today," Xiao Wai said and began to make the itinerary plan, "There are only two cases this month for the time being, and you have to meet with the client the day after tomorrow......"

Gao Cheng looked through the letters one by one, and they were basically all student fans, only a letter of thanks from the countryside of Fukushima Prefecture, and the sender was Kaori Nakahara.

Gao Chengleng took a moment before remembering that it was the pregnant woman he met in the Qilin Wings incident.

The letter describes the current situation of Kaori Nakahara, who now lives and works in a small shop in the countryside with her son, and then is the usual thanks.

It's really hard for Kaori Nakahara to think of him as a detective now, and most of the relatives of the victims of the incident rarely write letters of thanks.

"What's more," Xiao Ai glanced at Gao Cheng, who looked at the letter and smirked, lowered his eyelids and continued, "Everyone is going to ski together on the weekend, so now we should start preparing, right?" ”

"Huh?" Gao Cheng came back to his senses, "It's me again?!" What about the Doctor? ”

"The doctor went to a friend's house and didn't have time."

"I ......"

"By the way," Xiao Ai took out three envelopes from under the letter, "This is a thank you fee from several adults on the island, saying that they have been bothering us all along." ”

Gao Cheng opened the envelope in a daze and returned it to Xiao Ai.

"Can I do without Conan?"

He felt that when there was no Conan, a few children were not so bearish, and this guy was the culprit who brought a few children to bears, and he set a bad example.

Because Conan broke into the scene of the murder, because Conan chased the prisoner, because Conan liked to take risks...... These are not the problems that children should deal with in the first place.

Xiao Ai didn't say anything, just looked at Gao Cheng lightly, as if to say you can try.

"Forget it then." Gao Cheng vented his airway.

Without Conan, he still has to take care of a few children, and he seems to be more tired, if Conan is there, maybe he can just run into some cases, and he has already suffered enough to pass by the cases.

When it comes to cases, Conan is the real god.

……

As before, the ski equipment was delivered to the ski resort first, and on weekend mornings, you just need to wake up early, put on warm clothes and meet at the café downstairs of the office.

This morning, Gao Cheng was still in a daze and heard a few excited shouts from Ayumi downstairs, and then he was dragged out of the bed by Xiao Ai.

Sleepy-eyed brushed his teeth and washed his face, and hurried downstairs with only a cake for breakfast.

Ayumi has been well taken care of by adults in the morning, put on new winter clothes, and have fun with Manguno and a group of small animals in the coffee shop in the gap between waiting for Gao Cheng.

Since it was converted into a zoo coffee shop, there are a lot more customers downstairs, even if it's early in the morning......

Gao Cheng casually glanced at it and saw Okiya Pleiades leisurely drinking coffee by the window.

Especially this guy stays here every weekend, it's so idle.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng suddenly noticed that Conan was not there, and said in surprise, "Hasn't Conan arrived yet?" ”

"Conan seems to be going to help Uncle Kogoro record a confession today," Ayumi explained, "so you can't leave until it's over." ”

"Really?"

Gao Cheng's eyelids jumped.

Yes, he doesn't need to think about it much, if he doesn't take the special bus, Conan estimates that he will only be able to go to the ski resort at night, and it seems that he can't go.

Let's go skiing today, I haven't skied in a while.

"Ahh

Mori Detective Agency, Conan sneezed uncomfortably and looked sullenly at Mori Kogoro who was snoring and sleeping on the bed.

It's time for everyone to get ready to go......

Really, it was all because the old man had been drinking last night, so he had to stay and record a confession, even though the old man didn't know anything about the case.

"Oh?" In the animal café, Okiya put down his coffee and squinted at Gao Cheng and a group of children, "Are you going to go skiing together?" It's good, I'm fine anyway, how about letting me join in? I haven't been out much lately, and my body is a little rusty......"

"You're going too?"

"yes, you can take my car to the ski slopes, it's faster, isn't it?"

Gao Cheng didn't reject Okiya Pleiades very much, after all, it was Akai Shuichi who he used the identity of the mask man to help him at the beginning, and it was because of him that he would have the current Okiya Pleiades.

It's just that this guy is always uncomfortable walking around......

"That's good," Xiao Ai looked at Okiya for a while, then turned to the very happy Ayumi and agreed, "It's really convenient to take a car." ”

"Great!"

A few children like Oiya Pleiades like the big brother next door, only Gao Cheng doesn't feel very good.

……

Since the last kidnapping, Takagi has been somewhat affected physically, not only in small troubles such as frostbite, but also mentally, and it will take several days before he can return to work.

"But I still dream about it sometimes," Takagi said embarrassedly on the way to the police station to pick up Ran and Conan, "I dreamed that I was still trapped on the board, and then I woke up the moment the board fell, and I was still lying in bed without falling......"

"It's falling!"

"Someone has fallen!!"

Takagi was startled by a sudden scream on the way, and after realizing that the sound was coming from the opposite street, he hurriedly drove to the scene.

"What's going on?"

The incident occurred under a high-end apartment building, and there were already many people on the side of the road, and Takagi got out of the car and hurriedly took out his documents and squeezed into the crowd.

"Let's go, I'm a policeman, what's going on?"

"Well," said a man in tracksuit, "I was jogging down the road when this man suddenly fell off it. ”

The body of a man in pajamas and robes lay on the pavement bricks, blood splattered on his head, and he died instantly.

"I—I saw it too," the woman holding the pet next to her followed, "This is exactly where I walk my dog......"

"Does anyone know this person?"

Takagi looked at the people around him, but the passers-by who were talking about it didn't seem to know him, but Conan first pointed to the flip phone exposed in the chest pocket of the corpse's pajamas and said, "Maybe there will be clues in the phone!" ”

"Yes."

Takagi put on gloves and opened the interface of the phone, and found that it was an email, and the victim seemed to have sent a strange email before it fell, and it was a mass message.

Before Takagi could figure it out, Conan poked his head over, suddenly pressed his finger and pressed the button, choosing to send it again.

"You should try it again."

"Ah, wait......"

……

On the way to the ski resort, Gao Cheng huddled in the cramped classic car of Okiya Pleiades and received a call from Conan.

"Really? On the way to record a confession, I encountered a murder ......"

"It happened at about 7:30," Conan explained on the phone, "because we heard the shouts of someone falling from the building, we rushed to the scene to check it out, and then found the body, which according to eyewitness testimony, had fallen from the upper floor of the apartment next to it......

"The deceased was the president of a publishing house, Katsumoto Daisaku, and the mobile phone in his breast pocket showed that he had sent a mass email at 7:25 just before he fell from the building."

Conan said in a deep voice, "The content of the email is, 'If you want to kill me, then come, I will open the door and wait for you, and you are ready to die at my hands!'" ’

"After I resent it, there were three people in the crowd of onlookers whose mobile phones rang together."

"Three?" Gao Cheng waved his hand to coax away the few Ayumi who were listening closely, and continued to ask: "The group is only targeted by those 3 people at the scene?" ”

"Yes, all three of them are members of that publishing house or freelance writers, and they also live in that apartment, but the victim lives on the 26th floor, and they all live on the third floor."

"So it seems that all three of them are very suspicious......"

Gao Cheng collapsed his eyelids.

He was killed in just 5 minutes after sending a mass provocative email, which means that it is very likely to be an impulsive killing, how could Conan call him for this kind of thing?

What are you thinking again?

"The problem is," Conan frowned, "we immediately went to their room and saw the foam of the beer, the heat from the coffee cups, and the smoke from the residual cigarettes......

"If one of the three people was the one who pushed President Katsumoto down, he would have to rush downstairs as soon as possible after the push, and be seen as soon as possible before he could say that he had heard the commotion when he was questioned afterwards, but the above three pieces of evidence show that they were in the room all along......

"The elevator surveillance did not capture 3 people, and it takes about 7 minutes to go back and forth if we take the stairs, because we only happened to pass by, so we decided to check the room immediately, and the prisoners who could not predict this should not have returned to their rooms after the murder to decorate."

Conan wondered, "Counting the time it took us to enter the room of those three people after the incident, if one of them is a prisoner, it means that the room is empty for at least 10 minutes, so that the beer foam, the hot coffee, and the cigarette smoke will all disappear." ”

"That's ...... so"

Gao Cheng didn't care about driving away the few Ayumi who were eavesdropping, in fact, Conan's voice could be heard in the whole car.

Judging from Conan's description, the suspects should be those 3 people, yes, the problem can only lie in the alibi.

"Do you have any photos from the scene?"

"I'll take a picture of it and send it to you by email."

Conan didn't expect much from Gao Cheng, but he thought that multiple helpers might be able to be inspired.

Of course, this helper he rarely chooses Hattori, for no other reason, just because that black charcoal face has always wanted to put "Kansai's Hattori" in front.

After a while, Gao Cheng received an email from Conan.

The first photo shows the three suspects at the scene of the murder, the horse-faced man is the photographer Keisuke Ogino, the shoehorn-faced man with glasses is the reporter Kazutomo Sleevezaki, and finally a woman, the magazine editor Kazuka Tsukihara.

The reason for the conflict with the president is because of the lawsuit, and the three of them plan to sue the president next month.

The reason is that a fake report was committed by a well-known actress, the photo came from the photographer, the reporter who wrote the manuscript, and the last person in charge was the magazine editor, and several people who originally knew the truth before printing were ready to delete the report, but the president of Katsumoto not only published the report on his own initiative, but also added fuel and vinegar to rewrite the content, and published the magazine the day before the actress announced the marriage contract.

Because of dissatisfaction with the president's signature of his name on the issue report, the three suspects jointly sent a life email to President Katsumoto last night, and today's provocative email should be President Katsumoto's reply.

There are also a few photos of 3 people holding foamy beer, hot coffee and smoking cigarettes, only the hot coffee is not very clear, and a short video is added.

Indeed, as Conan said, there is an alibi.

In addition, according to the police investigation, Katsumoto also called the people of the renovation company on the landline in the room on the 26th floor after sending the email, and complained on the phone while measuring the actual length of the pile on the carpet, until the doorbell rang, and then called and hung up.

Then there is the time of the crime......

The entrance and balcony doors of the victim's room were open, which meant that the victim was at home until he fell from the building, and the prisoner who received the provocative text message was more likely to be found.

Gao Cheng touched his chin.

Very interesting case, if it was just the criminal, he probably knew who it was, the problem was the alibi puzzle......

After a pause, Gao Cheng contacted Conan again.

"Are you sure those three people didn't do anything when they checked the room?"

"Probably not," Conan was still thinking about it, and received a call from Gao Cheng in response, "When the inspection began, the other two were waiting in the hallway, and they didn't have time to go back to the room to fake it." ”

"No, what I want to ask is," Gao Cheng asked seriously, "did the owner of the room move his hands and feet during the inspection, and it sounds like he entered the room with you." ”

"Yes, that's true," Conan said, "but there's hardly time to do ......."

"No, even a little bit of it might be a clue." Gao Cheng is full of black lines.

Conan, is his reasoning entirely talented?

That talent is really enviable......

However, it was Takagi who was in charge at the time, but it was really not Conan's fault, after all, he was not a professional forensic forensics person.

"But it's not Superman," Yuan Tai thought bitterly, scratching his head behind him, "Can it still be conjured up all at once?" ”

"Wait," Mitsuhiko thought as well, "the beer is bubbling, the coffee is steaming, the cigarette is smoking...... Could anyone be a magician? ”

"If you blame Kidd the thief, there must be a way."

"Stupid," Conan wondered as he heard the voices of a couple of children on the other end of the line, "how could there be Kidd in this case?" None of those three were magicians. ”

"If it's magic, I know a little bit," Okiya pushed his glasses and suddenly interjected, "If you sprinkle some salt or sugar or other particles in your beer, you will immediately frothy......"

"Why do you know this?" Ayumi said curiously.

"Ah, because I tried it by chance before." Okiya smiled slightly.

"In this case, the alibi evidence is not sufficient," Gao Cheng glanced at Okiya and continued to contact by phone, "The murderer should be the cameraman, not just beer, as a news reporter, he didn't bring his own camera to shoot material when he arrived at the scene of the accident."

"That's not right in the first place."

Ending the call, Gao Cheng silently put away his mobile phone.

Finding evidence shouldn't be too difficult for Conan, and the case will probably be solved soon...... But he was not the one who solved the case, and the system did not have any reaction that was ready to settle.

What a terrible day......
