Kyoto, at night.

Yajima-dyi is an Edo-style garden built on the edge of a bamboo forest, with many bright trees and maple leaves.

"The estimated time of death is around 6 o'clock this morning, and the body was found at 2 o'clock in the afternoon eight hours later, that is, after the explosion of the Osaka Nikmai TV building."

Gao Cheng followed the Kyoto Prefectural Police into the Yajima Mansion, leading the way with Officer Ayakoji, who had a relationship with him, or carrying the squirrel with him like last time.

"Look at the underfoot, it's all very exaggerated and ruined."

"Is it a burglary?" Achibo asked, avoiding the scattered clutter.

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it is indeed possible that it was a robbery and murder," Ayakoji nodded, "Someone invaded this mansion for money, and as a result, he ran into Mr. Yajima, and in desperation, the murderer killed him with a Japanese knife that he intended to steal, and fled with the money......"

Gao Cheng silently observed the scene in the back.

It is inconvenient for any robber to rummage through things by the entrance and make a mess in the house.

It looks more like someone deliberately camouflaged the scene.

Entering the room at the scene of the crime, Ayakoji took the murder weapon wrapped by the forensic personnel, a Japanese knife.

"The identification work is over, you can investigate as much as you want, but we have to recover the Japanese knife as a murder weapon, and Yajima's body cannot be destroyed."

"Got it."

Hattori and Conan nodded yes, and finally Ayakoji left an identification officer to look after the scene and left the Yajima Mansion.

"I'll wait for you outside, and let me know if I find anything." Ayakoji said.

Yajima's body lay on a blood-stained tatami mat, surrounded by song signs, a TV remote control, and a dumped TV set.

Gao Cheng checked the condition of the corpse for the first time.

The fatal wound was in the head, and there was more than one wound, it can be seen that the second time was fatal, the murderer did not draw the knife, but directly smashed people with a scabbard, the first time was in the middle of the head, according to the police investigation, it seems that the knife could not be pulled out because of rust.

Wow!

As Gao Cheng's fingers touched the body, the scene seemed to return to the moment of the crime......

The wooden floor of the corridor outside creaked and creaked, and Yajima, who was playing music cards while watching TV, got up and walked to the door to open the door, but was hit in the head by a Japanese knife, and the blood splashed Queen Makura fell to the ground and kicked the song card, and the scene was messy, and then the murderer came in and shot again.

Gao Cheng's eyes swept over the scattered bloodstains at the door, the corpse, and the scattered song cards, the remote control that had obviously been moved on the side of the corpse's bloodpool, the moving blood stains on the tatami mats, and the blood scratches on the corpse's right hand......

No, there was a third party who entered the scene afterwards.

"It's hard to say anything at the scene, but this right hand," Conan said with his camera in hand, "feels like someone forcibly took something bloody from his hand." ”

"Yes," Hattori observed, "and when it comes to the blood-stained thing in this room, it's the song card, and it seems that the murderer who sensed the death message hid it in the song cards all over the floor, and it was quite troublesome to find the card from it." ”

"If it's Dr. Asasa, I think I can analyze it using a computer."

Conan took pictures of the song cards one by one, and as he spoke, he also looked at Gao Cheng, who was not moving, and found that Gao Cheng's attention no longer seemed to be on the song cards.

Hey?

"And this remote control," Hattori asked the forensic officer as he saw the remote control moving by the bloodpool, "I'm sorry, I want to lift this TV up, can I?" ”

"Well, please."

"If he had used the remote control before he was killed, the TV should have been playing something."

Hattori stepped forward to pick up the TV and turned it back on, and was surprised to find that it was a duel of Ooka Momiji songs.

"Was Mr. Yajima looking at this before he was attacked? Looks like the previous game ......"

"It's a collection of the 15th to 20th high school students' Satsuki Cup battles," Conan wondered after checking the disc, "Why did Mr. Yajima watch this?" ”

"In the finals, the level of both sides was very high, from the technical planning to the arrangement of the song cards, even if you just look at it, you can benefit a lot, right?" ”

"But this is a high school student's Satsuki Cup."

"Don't underestimate it, even if it's just a high school student, Ooka Momiji's ability is actually not weaker than Yajima."

"Is that so?"

Conan looked deeply at Achibo and didn't ask again.

He didn't think that Azhibo would be a prisoner, but he thought that Azhibo should know something.

Several forensic personnel covered the corpse with tarpaulin, which meant that the investigation of several people was over, and Gao Cheng had no intention of staying, but only checked all the song cards one by one.

Yajima didn't have time to leave a message of death, and as half a forensic expert, he was sure of that.

And Yajima really wants to leave a message, and it shouldn't be so obvious that he grabs it directly in his hand, it's more like a song card that someone put on after being killed, but was taken away by a third party and mixed into the ground after the blood dried up.

Of course, these were just his speculations, because he couldn't quite understand the behavior of the third party.

The murderer committed the crime very calmly, he could feel it, but the third party seemed to be helping the murderer destroy the evidence.

If there is any possibility, it is that the murderer faked the scene to frame him, and the third party had to do this kind of behavior, which is much clearer to understand.

Logically makes sense.

"President!"

Suddenly, a young man came from outside Yajima's mansion, and he had a little conflict with the police, saying that he was a member of the Sagetsu Society, and he came to find Chairman Achiha.

"Sekine!" Azhibo just walked out of the mansion, and when he saw the young man, he said sternly, "What were you doing before?" I've been in contact several times! ”

"I'm sorry, President," Sekine hurriedly apologized, "I was drunk last night, and I accidentally fell asleep before my phone was charged, and when I woke up, I saw the news that the TV station had exploded, and after contacting the association, I heard that the president was at Yajima's house and was looking for me......"

Hattori and Conan followed Achiba, looking closely at Sekine at the same time.

What this guy said was like reading a script, obviously prepared in advance, which sounded reasonable, but it was too much, and the explanation was a cover-up......

"I ran over in a panic and found that there were police outside," Sekine continued, "President, has something happened to Yashima?" ”

"Yajima was killed," Achiha said in a deep voice, "It seems that the robber did it, and killed Yajima with a knife in the corridor." ”

Sekine is the one Achiha mentioned in the studio before, Yajima's replacement, full name Sekine Yasushi, is a photographer, and like Ooka Momiji, he joined the Sagetsu Society after the dissolution of the Nakai Society.

Sekine and Yajima have been rivals for the past two years, facing each other in the final of the Satsuki Cup for two years in a row.

"I lost the previous two years, and I want to beat him this year," Sekine lamented, "I can't play against him anymore......

"About the game," Azhibo muttered, "I'm still wondering what to do, after all, so much has happened......

"I can't give up, President!" Sekine said anxiously, "If the traditional Sagetsu Cup is terminated because of Yajima's death, won't it allow the murderer to succeed?" Yajima was killed in vain! ”

"Sekine, be careful what you say!" Azhibo said angrily.

The Kyoto Prefectural Police still have something to ask Sekine, who has an alibi if there is a motive for the killing, and Achiha will then return to the Osaka Hotel, and Hattori and Conan will discuss privately, and Conan will monitor Achiba, and Hattori will stay behind to protect Ooka Momiji, who lives in Kyoto's house.

These people are the main members of the Gaoyue Society, and they are also the key to this incident.

"This is probably the guy who killed Yajima," Conan stared at Sekine following Ayakoji away, "but it's too early to blame him for the TV bombing that targeted the Sagetsu Kai." ”

"Yes," Hattori nodded, "As for Mr. Achiba and Momiji, it should be safer to conduct surveillance according to what I just decided, and Mr. Achiba lives at the New Otani Hotel in Osaka like you, so I will leave it to you...... Hey, Joto, what are you doing? ”

"Nothing."

Gao Cheng is not prepared to express his opinion for the time being.

Even if Hattori doesn't say it, he is ready to spy on Achiba.
