"Triplets?"

At the scene of the murder, all the people involved get together, and the sudden appearance of the two brothers makes things complicated again.

"In this case, the murderer should be one of the three of you." Gao Cheng advanced the spirit of the road.

"What are you talking about?" The second child in the suit said inexplicably, "What murderer?" ”

"Your father, Tetsuji Tomizawa, was murdered last night," Gao Cheng said solemnly as he stared at the triplets, "Sister Ayako, they saw with their own eyes that one of you was a murderer!" But what were you doing at half past eleven last night? ”

"Wait, who are you?" The second child looked dissatisfied, and the police asked it, so how could it be a ghost's turn to ask? .

"Don't you know him?" Officer Henggou was surprised, "He is the famous detective Chenghe Gaocheng who has been very famous recently." ”

"Detective?"

The face of the boss of the two-handed-bearded family changed slightly, and he looked at Gao Cheng again: "I really seem to have seen it on TV, that detective who is as famous as Maori Kogoro?" ”

"Hmph, whether it's a detective or not, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me anyway," the second child said disapprerovingly, "I was still on Okinawa Island last night, I was on a business trip for the company, and I only took the first flight of the day to Haneda Airport in Tokyo three hours ago, and the last flight from here to Okinawa was at eight o'clock in the afternoon, and I couldn't kill my father here at the villa." ”

"Detective Chengto," the boss said to Chao Gaocheng, "I also have evidence that I don't know if it can be considered an alibi, I had a phone message last night around half past eleven. ”

"Phone message?"

Tomizawa Villa house, everyone entered the room of Uncle Tomizawa Tetsuji.

"Hey, Dad, I'm Taiyi," the answering machine played, "Great, the air-to-air team finally won, thanks to the home run that Ki Twilight hit the lamppost in the second half of the sixth inning, Ki Twilight is really a good hitter...... The recording time is 11:34 p.m. ”

"I'm calling from Osaka," the boss's face relaxed, "This should be an alibi, right?" ”

"This, it's actually the time when the murder happened......" Officer Henggou frowned and turned to Gao Cheng expectantly.

"No matter how you look at my eldest brother, it can't be a murderer," the second brother looked at Gao Cheng who was thinking about it and said with a smile, "Because that game was only broadcast on satellite TV, and the game ended at around 11:25, if you hadn't watched the game, the eldest brother would never have known so clearly."

"And the satellite broadcast of our villa is broken, and the only one who can see the game nearby is the Suzuki family."

The second child looked very sure: "In short, my eldest brother and I have alibi, and the only one left is Yuzo, who has been staying here." ”

"How so?" Yuzo Tomizawa looked at Gao Cheng sweating profusely, "Detective Joto, I'm really not a murderer, I've been staying in the studio...... And I have no reason to kill my dad at all! ”

"Joto-kun," Ayako Suzuki said eagerly, "I also think Yuzo has no reason to kill his uncle......"

"I know."

Gao Cheng glanced at Ayako with a complicated expression, and the hope in his heart was completely wiped out.

It's not just the status gap, it's not just the age gap, it's Ayako's feelings that really make him realize that he doesn't have a chance.

From beginning to end, Ayako just regarded him as a friend of the garden and a younger brother, but he really felt emotional about Yuzo Tomizawa.

"Brother Xiong, I will find out the murderer."

Gao Cheng restrained his thoughts and carefully looked at the triplets again.

They are all nearly 30 years old at the same age, and their faces are the same, but their temperaments are very different.

The eldest of the family, the second employee of the company, and the third illustrator, it is true that as Uncle Tomizawa complained about last night, the three of them do not look like people who can inherit the family business, but what is the motive to kill the uncle?

The old man complained and complained, but he was also thinking about his son......

At this time, a police officer ran in from outside and whispered into the ear of the officer in the cross-ditch.

"Officer Yokogou, we investigated today's flight list......"

"Huh?" Henggou nodded and looked solemnly at the second of the triplets, "We just confirmed with the airport that the plane with your name arrived at Haneda Airport thirty minutes ago, can you please explain?" ”

"This," said the second child, with an ugly face, "how is this possible?" ”

"You don't know, the flight was delayed due to the typhoon," Yokogou asked closely, "Where were you last night?" ”

"I—I'm ......in Tokyo," the second said in a cold sweat, "yes, that's right, I went back to Tokyo last night, but I've been staying at Haomi's!" ”

"Hiromi?"

"She's my fiancée, and I went to see her because I heard that she was sick," the second child explained, "because I was afraid that my father would find out that I had left my job for her, so I found someone to replace my ......."

Gao Cheng's gaze swept over the second child, paused on the boss of the Tomizawa family, turned to Conan and asked in a low voice: "I remember that there was a power outage at half past eleven yesterday, can the telephone answering machine be used even if the power is out?" ”

"Did you notice that too?" Conan looked at the boss's back and said, "Although the phone can still talk after the power outage, the message function can't be used, that person obviously lied, and even said the process of the game wrongly, yesterday Mu Dui's home run flew over the lamppost instead of hitting the lamppost......"

"It's pretty simple, the question is how he did it."

The details of Tetsuji Tomizawa's corpse came to Gao Cheng's mind.

Bloodstains, and a watch on his wrist that appeared to have been taken by the killer after committing the crime......

It's not a complicated case, since the murderer deliberately took the watch, the problem is here, there may be some key clues in the watch.

"Mr. Taiyi," Gao Cheng didn't let Henggou continue to have a headache, and asked directly, "Where did you watch the game yesterday?" ”

The boss's palms tightened: "Of course it's in an apartment in Osaka......"

Gao Cheng looked straight and said, "Really? Your phone message said that you hit the lamppost with a home run, but that's not the case, have you really watched the game? ”

"yes," Yokozo reacted, "I remember the ball flew over the lamppost......"

"Huh?" The boss was stunned and said helplessly, "I really didn't watch it on TV, but listened to it, I heard it on the radio...... Actually, I've been playing small balls yesterday because I can't think of a plot lately, so I go to relax, and I can only listen to the live broadcast of the game on the radio in Osaka......"

"That's right," the officer confirmed, "only Osaka broadcasts the game on the radio." ”

Conan interjected: "Uncle Taiyi was also playing small steel balls at half past eleven last night?" ”

The boss affirmed, "Yes, of course." ”

"But that's strange," Conan said in a long voice, "doesn't the little ball shop usually close after eleven o'clock?" ”

"Huh?" The boss's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly changed his words, "I was mistaken, in fact, I heard the radio when I was taking a taxi home after playing Xiaogangzhu......

"Big brother?" Everyone else sensed that the boss was quibbling and followed suit.

The boss said with a calm face: "Anyway, I just made a mistake all of a sudden, anyway, I called to leave a message when the murder happened, right?" If I had killed my dad, how would I have heard about the game? ”

"What's the problem?" Gao Cheng walked to the answering machine, "Since you were here yesterday, you should also know that the power was out at the time of the crime, how did your phone message come from?" The message function cannot be used at all during a power outage, which means that you have already left a good message before, and you will leave a message by adjusting the phone time to the time of the crime in advance. ”

"I ......," the boss panicked, "someone must be trying to frame me......"

"No more quibbles, this method is only used by real murderers, and no one else can do it, because it is impossible to predict when you will call."

Gao Cheng reasoned: "As for how you know about the game, I think it probably has something to do with the watch you took away, maybe there is a bug in it...... I can't be sure for the time being, but the alibi you forged is enough to show that the murderer is you! ”

"I ......"

The boss hung his head, his face huddled together.

"Big brother?" Yuzo said in disbelief, "Detective Joto, this must be something wrong, because my eldest brother has no reason to kill his father at all......"

"Say no more, Yuzo," the boss exhaled lightly, as if unburdened, and smiled bitterly, "I'm not the kind of great person you think, I'm in it for money, in fact, I've always wanted to get my father's inheritance, so that I can continue to be a family ......"

"Brother......

"I've been having a hard time lately, my job has suddenly been reduced, and I've run out of money, so I made a special trip to my dad to discuss and ask him to support me in terms of money...... I found out that it was my father who put pressure on the publisher not to give me any job opportunities......

"I think my dad probably wanted me to give up writing and let me inherit his career...... Indeed, as Detective Joto said, I gave my dad a watch with a bug in advance, and then destroyed the antenna of the villa, so that he could only go to Suzuki's house to watch the game. ”

"Is that how you hear about the game?" Yuzo looked at the boss in a daze, "Big brother, ...... you"

"Yuzo, I originally planned to put the blame on you if I was lucky, so that the inheritance I could get could be increased, all in order to continue the work I like......"

"Mr. Taiyi," Gao Cheng interrupted, "no matter what your intentions are, killing is killing people, are you really trying to continue the work you love?" If you really like writing so much, isn't there any other solution? I've had hard times, but no matter how bad the situation is, there will always be a solution.

"Mr. Taiyi, you killed your own father, in the final analysis, it was just for the inheritance, don't use work as an excuse."

Yuan Zi looked at Gao Cheng unexpectedly, and felt quite touched.

Indeed, it is not easy for a person to support a firm in Tokyo after graduating from high school......

The boss was silently handcuffed by the police and taken away, and Henggou said to Gao Cheng unsatisfactorily: "Detective Chenghu, I will trouble you to go to the police station to make a record." ”

"Huh? Do you want to take notes? ”

Yuanzi looked at her sister Ayako, who was with Yuzo in front of her, and then looked at Gao Cheng, who was silently playing with her mobile phone next to her, looking lost: "Na, this time it really impresses me, ...... the castle."

"Ahh Gao Cheng suddenly raised his head with a soft snort, startling the garden.

"What's wrong?"

"There was a female fan who happened to be in Izu and asked me to go to the beach...... I don't know if it's going to be a beautiful ......."

"Female fans? It's definitely not going to be any better," Yuan Zi snorted softly and turned to Xiaolan, "Let's go to the tanning salon after we're done with the transcript." ”

"Huh?" Xiaolan looked confused, "Didn't you say you wouldn't show it yesterday?" ”

"Of course, I came to Izu to get a tan, so as to attract the attention of handsome guys."

The corners of Gao Cheng's eyes twitched, the Yuanzi is here again, I don't know how many handsome guys I liked, anyway, there can't be any results, in the original play, I met the karate master Kyogoku Shin and started to have a serious relationship.

"Hey," Conan walked up to Gao Cheng and asked strangely, "When did you have a female fan?" It's time to contact you......"

"Work, work." Gao Cheng put away his phone and glanced at Conan, "It's as if I don't have a female fan, and there were two little beauties who asked me to sign last time I went to Izu...... Speaking of which, I originally thought that I could have an affair this time, but it was all in vain. ”

Conan's eyes were half-open: "You're no better than the garden......"

"You guy with a girlfriend is not qualified to speak, Xiaolan is so good, beautiful and secure, it's really enviable."

"There's no need to envy the sense of security." Conan's mind unnaturally conjured up the image of Xiaolan's violent woman.

"What?" In front, Xiaolan and Yuanzi got into the car, and turned back in confusion, "What are you talking about?" Hurry up. ”

"Ah, good!"

Several police cars set off from the villa and went to the police station along the coastal road, and the people in the garden followed behind in the Suzuki family's car, and Gao Cheng sat in the police car in front.

Officer Yokomizo, a detective fan of Maori Kogoro, seems to have also become a fan of Gao Cheng after the last incident, chattering and talking excitedly about the case along the way.

"By the way, I also watched the movie of Detective Joto, and I heard that the movie is different from reality, is it true?"

"The movie has added a heroine."

Gao Cheng held his chin, with a bitter face and no energy.

Why do you have to talk to an uncle fan about the case in a police car? I knew that I would rather take a car with the garden, even if I listened to the gossip of the garden, it would be better than now.

"Officer Yokomizo, I'm going back to Tokyo after I finish taking notes, and there's a Sherlock Holmes fan party inviting me to come over and give a speech, can you please send me off?"

"No, no problem."
