In the banquet hall, when the art supervisor was very sure that Miss Hua Lian was still alive at 9:03, Hua Lian's sister Meimei also continued:

"I was with Shinichi Show, and before the official performance, it was probably ...... At about 8:45, I also went to the elevator room to find Hua Lian, and there was no shadow of Hua Lian everywhere at that time. ”

Mimi looked at Shinichi and then said to Officer Twilight.

"Is that so? Shinichi? ”

Officer Twilight couldn't help but ask Shinichi for confirmation.

"Yes, it should be that time."

Shinichi nodded and replied.

"Then, please tell me in detail, three minutes before the official performance, I saw Hua Lian's situation."

Officer Twilight questioned the art supervisor again.

"Okay."

The art supervisor nodded and replied:

"I went down from the stage to the platform again, I don't know when, Miss Hua Lian was already there. At that time, I said to Miss Hua Lian, 'Miss Hua Lian, are you ready?' After that, Miss Hua Lian, who was sitting alone on the lifting platform, waved her hand to me. ”

"Did Miss Hua Lian bring Weiya by herself?"

Officer Twilight asked.

"Yes, during the rehearsal, she also brought Weiya herself, and we didn't have a chance to help her at all."

The art director said with some frustration.

"So...... Did he behave strangely when he waved? ”

Shinichi listened to the description of the Perfection Superintendent, and couldn't help but ask.

"No ......"

The art director thought for a moment, then shook his head in confidence and said:

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"Is it possible that Miss Hua Lian was dead at that time?"

Shinichi suddenly said in surprise at this time.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the art director was taken aback.

"You can see it on Miss Hua Lian's wrist."

Shinichi pointed to the kite string tied to Hua Lian's wrist, and couldn't help but say:

"There's a kite string tied to it. Is it possible that someone is in the elevator room, where you can't see, pulling the kite string, which makes you think that Miss Hua Lian herself is waving? ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, the art director's face flowed with sweat of panic:

"Because it was dark in the lift room, I was in a hurry...... I didn't notice such a subtlety...... But I didn't even think about the fact that she might be dead! ”

As he spoke, the art supervisor became a little incoherent.

"Well, if you just wave your hand, it's easy to do it with this thread."

Officer Twilight looked at the kite string tied to Hua Lian's wrist, nodded thoughtfully, and affirmed.

"Yes. In this way, everyone really saw Miss Hua Lian alive when she said that she was going to take a bath and leave the stage temporarily. It should have been around half past eight, right? ”

Shinichi explained.

"Hmm...... Like, yes. ”

Hearing Shinichi's words, the art supervisor and the people around him couldn't help but nod.

"So, I think it's necessary to expand the scope of the investigation to people who don't have an alibi between half past eight and nine and three minutes."

Shinichi suggested Officer Twilight.

"Well, I see."

Officer Twilight nodded to Shin, then looked at the others around him:

"So, I'm very sorry, but starting with my mother, Misuzu, please tell me where you did between half past eight and nine and three minutes?"

"Well, good ......"

Being asked like this, Misuzu, who was no longer as crazy as before, replied with some sadness:

"At that time, after Meimei called me and told me about Hua Lian's disappearance, I desperately went to find her."

"Can anyone prove that?"

Officer Twilight asked.

"No ......"

Misuzu shook her head in confusion, but soon thought of something and couldn't help but say:

"Not true. After I went to her suite on the twentieth floor to look for Hua Lian because I was looking for her, I happily went downstairs to watch her performance because I heard Meimei say that I had found Hua Lian. As a result, I happened to be in the elevator and met the old gentleman, who praised the cake for being very delicious, so I gave him all the rest of the cake...... Until then, I had been upstairs...... Does this count? ”

Misuzu said, pointing to Dr. Asasa who was standing aside.

"Ah, indeed."

Dr. Asasa couldn't help but smile awkwardly:

"I missed the taste of the cake so much that I wanted to ask if there were any leftover cakes, but when I went upstairs, I happened to meet Ms. Misuzu...... At that time, it should have been after nine o'clock. ”

"That's ......"

Officer Twilight couldn't help but say:

"But unfortunately, this only proves that during that short period of time, Ms. Misuzu was upstairs, and it is still a bit far-fetched to prove that alibi for that whole period of time...... But where did my sister go at that time? ”

As he spoke, Officer Twilight looked at Meimei.

"Because my mother went to Hua Lian's lounge to look for it, I mainly looked for it behind the stage."

Meimei couldn't help lowering her head and said sadly.

"I see, you are acting separately...... It's a pity that you don't have a very clear alibi. ”

Officer Twilight said in a slightly apologetic tone, then slowly took out a rolled-up weekly magazine from his jacket pocket, looked at Misuzu and explained:

"Ms. Misuzu, in fact, my subordinates happened to see a report about Hua Lian in the weekly magazine that was sold this morning......"

As he spoke, Officer Twilight unfolded the magazine, only to see the eye-catching words on the cover, "Miss Hefeng's most promising candidate - Shou Hualian's private life!" ".

"Judging from this report, Hua Lian's clothing color, makeup and diet, and even daily life are all managed by you, is that right?"

Officer Twilight asked earnestly.

- "It's all ...... So that cake recipe? ”

Hearing this,A new consciousness blurted out.,But I soon realized that the occasion was wrong.,Fortunately, because the voice was too quiet.,Didn't let Misuzu, who was being questioned, hear.。

And Dr. Asasa on the side couldn't help but step forward and whispered to Shinichi:

"Shinichi, actually, the cake recipe seems to have been sold to Yamate's pastry shop, but we can't tell us because we signed an agreement. However, the cake made with that recipe will be sold in that pastry shop under the name of Hua Lian in the near future. ”

Hearing this, Shinichi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and whispered:

"In that case, as long as you go to that pastry shop and buy cakes to eat, you can always change back!"

"You're thinking too beautiful."

At this moment, Shiho, who didn't know when he walked to Shinichi's side, said coldly, as if pouring a basin of cold water on Shinichi's head:

"Just like white dry wine, I'm afraid your body will soon become resistant to this cake."

In this regard, Shinichi couldn't help but glance at Shiho, ignored her too much, and continued to watch Officer Twilight's questioning of everyone present.

On the side, Yuan Zi saw Zhibao suddenly come in, and directly whispered to Shinichi, and couldn't help but pull Xiaolan beside him, and quietly reminded:

"Hey! Xiaolan, although that Miss Hayley is a classmate of Mr. Wise, you have to be careful when you look like Shinichi. After all, compared to Mr. Wise, Shinichi's ability to deceive girls is much higher. ”

"Garden, what are you talking about!"

When Xiaolan heard Yuanzi's words, she couldn't help but respond helplessly:

"Actually, I just saw Mr. Wise and Miss Hayley ......"

As she spoke, Xiaolan couldn't help but lean into the ear of the garden and told the scene she had just seen in the kitchen......

……

And at this time, in the "Women's Locker Room" on the eighteenth floor, Takato, dressed as Akai Shuichi, was facing the mirror and putting on eye makeup for himself-

After all, what Shiho said is right, even if he covers most of his face with a mask, if his eyes don't match, it's still too easy to see through.

Therefore, Takato is now trying to make up his eyes to look like Shuichi Akai.

However, since he doesn't have a photo of Shuichi Akai, Takato can only try-

And the template for trying makeup is a photo of "Taiko celebrity", Hideyoshi Haneda!

After all, as Shuichi Akai's younger brother, there are probably similarities in appearance to refer to, and besides, compared to looking for photos of Shuichi Akai, Hideyoshi Haneda's photos are much easier to find!
