Chapter 186 Plot Eiko Toya
Eiko Toya, one of Japan's leading designers in the world of Conan, recently encountered something that made her angry but didn't know what to do.
Because of the betrayal of the secretary Miss Mika, she stole her costume design and sold it to a rival company, causing the fashion show to be suspended, and the company suffered huge losses.
The most unbearable thing for her was that the other party not only betrayed her, but even asked her to resign afterwards, and she was about to get out of the way, but she had nothing to do with her.
As a woman, what she felt in front of this kind of thing was her anger and powerlessness, and the strong unwillingness that surged in her heart even wanted to kill the other party, or she was already making various plans for the final implementation.
Even, if there was no Xia Qiu in this world, then she was already rehearsing the final implementation of her murderous plan.
And the existence of Xia Zhiqiu Office seemed to be the last glimmer of hope before she made this final decision. So when she learned about this place by chance, she came here with the mentality of giving it a try.
And under the other party's narration, Xia Qiu gradually recalled various plots about this incident. Elevator Killings! That's the name of this episode.
The situation is like this, one day Xiaolan received an invitation to apply for a model at a clothing design company, and then Conan and Mori Kogoro also went together.
Not only that, but in addition to Conan, Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro are both very excited. Because Eiko Toya is really famous, all kinds of clothing designs, leading the trend of the times.
Especially Maori Kogoro, he can even tell some of the current situation, even if others don't know things, he can recite them backwards, and he is a senior Toya Eiko fan, but he is embarrassed to admit it.
And when they arrived at the place, their first impression was that they were surprised by the building where the other party worked. Because it's really a big building.
Mori Kogoro even took out a mirror to tidy up his disguise before buying it. was said by Conan next to him, and he couldn't wait to punch him.
After a few people went in and confirmed with the staff, the chairman, Eiko Toya, also came quickly. And because of the holiday, it's quite quiet.
However, as soon as Eiko Toya came in, Conan unconsciously noticed the larger leather bag she was carrying.
And for this situation, Xiaolan just explained that she is the kind of person who is at the forefront of popularity, even if it is not popular now, it will definitely be popular in the future.
Then, after a few words of conversation between the two parties, Miss Mika Taniguchi, who was Eiko Toya's secretary, came. Of course, when the two were introduced to Conan, Eiko Toya was still surprised by the arrival of Mori Kogoro.
Although it was not particularly obvious, it was noticed by Conan. In addition, Conan also found that the relationship between her, as the chairman, and her secretary, Miss Mika Taniguchi, was not as good as she imagined.
What's even more strange is that when the two of them were on the elevator, Eiko Toya also helped her press the elevator button. Then, the two of them took two different elevators to the upper floor.
Eiko Toya went to the chairman's office on the fifteenth floor, and Ms. Mika Taniguchi went to the eighth floor.
After a while, just after Maori Kogoran and Conan went to the toilet, Eiko Toya ran down in a panic, saying that she had made a mobile phone call and no one answered, so let people go and have a look.
And when everyone reached the eighth floor, they found Miss Mika lying there. The whole person fell on his back with his back to the elevator door, with a knife stuck in his chest.
And half of the body is outside, and the lower part stays in the elevator, which also causes the elevator to have no way to close the door, and it has always been the eighth floor.
At the same time, under the reminder of Eiko Toya, several people found obvious shoe prints on the floor of the elevator on the 8th floor, and the direction of the shoe prints led to a safety exit.
So Mori Kogoro felt that the murderer had escaped through the safety exit. However, Conan felt that something was not quite right with Miss Toya's performance, because it seemed that Miss Toya had known about it for a long time.
In fact, in Conan, if there are no other suspects, then there is no need to choose one of the three. Because the only one must be the murderer.
And then the next thing is that you know he's the murderer, but there's no proof of it. And the plot of that episode should also be how to crack that alibi, not one of three or more.
In fact, Conan, who felt that something was wrong, later noticed that Miss Toya was wiping the button of the elevator on the 8th floor while no one was looking.
Soon, Officer Twilight arrives at the scene, and various investigations ensue. When Conan examined the body, he suddenly noticed some blood on the deceased's shoulder, and the clothes on the shoulder had very obvious creases.
The most strange thing for Conan is that the body is upside down towards the outside of the elevator, because according to common sense, if the murderer kills him from the outside of the elevator, the body should have fallen inside the elevator
However, since the elevator used by Toya is from the first floor to the 15th floor, it does not stop on other floors. And most importantly, because the other elevator was taken by the secretary, there was no elevator that could directly reach the 8th floor.
And it took less than 2 minutes from the time Miss Toya took the elevator to the time she came down, so Miss Toya didn't have time to commit the crime at all.
Perfect alibi! Of course, the next plot can also be imagined, just when everyone doesn't think Eiko Toya is the murderer, Conan will be particularly smart.
So he took the elevator to the fifteenth floor, but Conan found the petals that Mori Kogoro had taken from Koran to give to Miss Toya's flower on the fifteenth floor, and there was a lot of pollen on the ground.
Conan also noticed that the buttons of the elevator on the fifteenth floor had been taped on, and that Conan also found flowers given to her by Kogoro Mori in the chairman's room.
Judging from these traces, Miss Toya really did not have the possibility of committing the crime, and the case reached an impasse.
However, the protagonist is the protagonist after all. In the end, just when Conan had a flash of inspiration and put all the details together, he figured everything out. It was the other party who used the elevator to set up an alibi.
Finally, just as Officer Twilight is about to finish his investigation into the case, Conan dispatches his anesthetic watch and tells the truth of the matter after knocking Mori Kogoro down with a needle.
It turned out that Miss Toya deliberately pressed the elevator for the secretary to take the elevator, and then after reaching the 15th floor, in order to confuse the police, Miss Toya deliberately called the secretary once, but because the signal in the elevator was very poor, it was not connected.
In this way, Toya's mobile phone left a record of the call that did not go through, and then Toya's miss glued a coin to the button of the elevator on the 15th floor where the secretary was riding.
In this way, the elevator door would not close after the secretary's elevator reached the fifteenth floor, and the secretary was not killed on the eighth floor, but on the fifteenth floor, because the direction in which the body fell on the eighth floor was not at all right.
This is because after Eiko Toya killed the secretary, she pressed the button on the eighth floor and tore off the coin stuck to the elevator button, and used the elevator door to block the secretary's back.
However, because the elevator accidentally caught the secretary's clothes when it was closed, the clothes on the deceased's shoulders appeared obvious creases.
The elevator opens when it reaches the eighth floor, so the corpse will fall out of the elevator when it opens.
And, because the murder weapon was too late to deal with, there must be evidence in Miss Toya's huge shoulder bag.
