On Saturday, several police cars parked on the side of the road outside an ordinary apartment, and soon after, a special phone call was made to the Chenghu Detective Agency.

Gao Cheng hurried to the apartment with Xiao Ai, and when he went upstairs, he saw the calm police officer.

"What the hell is going on, officer?"

"Brother Joto," Twilight's face improved when she saw Gao Cheng, "It was Mr. Masato Sugimori who was killed, and he was a freelance writer......"

"Sugimori?" Gao Cheng looked to the side, and then noticed that Mr. Kobayashi was also called to the scene, looking like he was being questioned.

"That's right," Twilight said in a deep voice, "It's Masato Sugimori who was originally going to interview Conan, the time of death was probably between 11 and 12 noon yesterday, the murder weapon was a tripod for a camera, and the murderer was probably an acquaintance who committed the crime, or it was the subject of the interview......

"Did you find the suspect?" Conan's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and everyone present was stunned at the same time.

Gao Cheng looked back and found that it was not only Conan, but even Ayumi and a few others followed: "Why are you here?" Didn't you ask you to wait for me at the coffee shop? ”

"Brother Chenghu is too partial, so I'll take Xiao Wai with me!"

"That's right, Mr. Kobayashi is in trouble, how can we ignore it?"

Mitsuhiko complained a few times: "Besides, isn't Brother Chenghu a member of our young detective group?" How can you leave us? ”

"I'm not from the Junior Detective Corps," Gao Cheng was full of black lines, "Since I'm here, be quiet for me, don't interject......"

Twilight coughed lightly and interrupted Gao Cheng: "Regarding the suspects, we found 4, all of them were people who called to leave a message at the time of the crime, and the first one was Mr. Kobayashi......"

Gao Chengchao nodded lightly at Mr. Kobayashi, who looked worried, and followed Twilight into the murder scene in the room.

Outside the door, a man in a vest could be seen slumped against the wall, his head covered in blood, and his originally handsome face looked a little hideous and terrifying.

Gao Cheng glanced at the corpse and turned to the scene layout, and found a blood-stained murder weapon tripod among a pile of books, and as the man's body was carried away, the tripod was also installed by the forensic personnel.

The answering machine was on the low table next to it, splattered with blood, and the message light was still flickering.

Gao Cheng took a closer look and found that some of the blood stains on the message button had been wiped off.

"Here's the problem," Twilight explained, "Someone pressed the message button after the crime and set it to a message, and if the victim regained consciousness after the prisoner escaped, it should have been a call for help or the police, and the victim's fingers were not stained with blood......

"In other words, the prisoner pressed it?" Gao Cheng said.

"That's right," Twilight nodded, "The important thing is that when the body was found, the door of this room was not locked, and the key was placed next to the phone, so it wasn't to delay the time when the body was found, it was probably the prisoner himself who left a message on the phone and forged an alibi, so we called Kobayashi-sensei over......"

Gao Cheng silently put his hands together.

He had already taken a general look, and the prisoner looked quite flustered, and there was blood on the doorknob, probably the blood on the answering machine with gloves, and it was on the doorknob when he fled.

"We've recorded the message separately," Twilight brought a player, "There are 4 messages in total......"

"Beep!"

"There are 4 comments...... I'm Xiao Lin, the head teacher of the first year B class of Didan Elementary School who just called, Ah sneeze...... I'm sorry, but it seems to be a pollen allergy...... I've already asked for you, but Detective Joto said that he was interviewed by Nikmai TV, so I'm sorry...... Beep, 11:25 a.m. ......"

"Sugimori? I'm Qinghua and I drank too much yesterday...... I'm sorry, I'm not angry anymore...... You always refuse to take me back to your house, so I wonder if there is another woman in your house......"

Gao Cheng listened carefully, but the recording came out of the background sound of TV.

"Speaking of pollen allergies, pollen is flying even more violently today, I don't know what countermeasures you have for pollen allergies......

"So," the second message was at the end, "contact me when you hear the message...... Beep, 11:26 a.m. Friday ......"

"It's a 11 p.m. show on Nippon Sale TV," Twilight interjected, "My wife, Midori, likes it so much that she often records it for me to watch with me...... I think as long as I ask her, I will know the specific broadcast time of this paragraph, and it is indeed the time to leave a message. ”

Gao Cheng had only seen Twilight's wife at Dr. Asasa's wedding last time, and nodded when he heard this, watching Twilight play the third message.

"I'm Hiragaki...... I want to meet you and am on my way to your house right now...... If you're not at home, forget it, come back another day......"

"The next stop is Okuho ......" suddenly sounded in the message, "Okuho, please pay attention to the ...... under your feet when getting off"

"I'm really sorry about the car, goodbye...... Friday at 11:27 a.m. ......"

Gao Cheng looked up and looked at Twilight.

"There's a radio from the train in the background," Twilight explained, "We checked that Okuho Station is at least 35 minutes away, and because the train that was broadcasting that day had a pollen allergy, we didn't finish the phrase 'watch the gap under your feet,' so the broadcast wasn't recorded beforehand." ”

"Is the alibi sufficient?"

"And one last message......"

"Beep, I'm Inaba from Koeikan, and I'd like to ask how your report is going...... Editor-in-chief, what time is it today? ”

In the message, the other party seemed to be shouting at others, and a middle-aged man immediately replied: "It's the 22nd, you should remember it too, Inaba!" ”

"Hey, I'm sorry, but that's a week away, so come on, Sugimori! Ah, I don't mind the report that exposed the inside story last time, so please take care of it in the future...... Editor-in-chief, are you really going to watch the night game today? ”

"It's okay, it's a match at the Dongdu Gymnasium today."

"Beep, Friday ...... at 11:29 a.m."

"It's from the company, and there is an editor-in-chief besides the person who called," Twilight turned off the player, "We've already contacted the editor-in-chief, and it's not clear that the editors often come and go frequently, but the editor named Inaba should be in the editorial office at the time, because the mobile phone is not good, Inaba often asks him for the date......"

Twilight paused, looked at Mr. Kobayashi who was waiting outside, and continued: "That is to say, except for Mr. Kobayashi, the other three have clear alibi, although Mr. Kobayashi said that he has been staying in school, but there is no sufficient alibi, and there is no time to ...... it."

"But," Gao Cheng frowned, "didn't you say that the prisoner set up the message to create an alibi?" ”

"The problem is that this may also be done to disrupt our police investigation......"

"Mr. Kobayashi has no motive, and even if Mr. Kobayashi is really a murderer, there is no need to do this kind of maneuver at all, and if you don't leave a message, it won't arouse suspicion."

Gao Cheng followed and looked at Sumiko Kobayashi who was talking to Ayumi.

Things were a little sudden.,The writer who originally found Mr. Kobayashi for the interview report died suddenly.,Mr. Kobayashi turned out to be the biggest suspect.,It's too much of a coincidence to say that it's a coincidence.。

Perhaps the prisoner knew about the victim's contact with Mr. Kobayashi from the beginning, and he knew it quite clearly.

"Officer," Gao Cheng said as he turned to Twilight, "may I ask those people again?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Twilight said stunned, "is there something wrong?" ”

"There are a few suspicious points, the second message is not a problem even if it is borrowed from the TV here, and the last call, if the editor-in-chief is ruled out as an accomplice, it is not impossible to create perjury......

Gao Cheng looked at the scene of the murder again.

"So now the only person who really has an alibi is Hiragaki in the third message."
