"The deceased, Kazuto Sakata, was fifty-four years old and the owner of a floppy disk manufacturer. According to the on-site investigation, the direct cause of his death should have been the shot in the heart, and it is speculated that the time of death should be between 1:15 and 2:30 in the morning. ”

Outside the villa where the siren sounded, Twilight Thirteen, dressed in a brown trench coat, followed his subordinates into the scene of the crime, listening to the conclusion made by the members of the forensic department: "The deceased was greatly frightened before his death, but there was no trace of torture on his body, not even a trace of struggle.

"It is reasonable to assume that it should have been a one-shot killing, and the killer should have come in from the balcony of this master bedroom to commit the murder."

"Outside the balcony?"

Twilight Thirteen turned his head to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony where there were obvious traces of broken windows, and frowned, "Did the murderer leave any traces that we could find?" Didn't the others in the villa hear the broken windows last night? ”

"Not really. In fact, according to the confession, the maids who stayed in the villa last night did not hear anything unusual, and it was not until this morning that the Maori detectives came here and Mrs. Sakata planned to come to the bedroom and call up the deceased, who had not yet appeared......"

After summarizing the information of his police officers, Takagi reported them to his boss one by one according to the information in his hand, and Miwako Sato, who was wearing gloves, was inspecting the scene while whispering to Conan, who was squatting on the balcony window looking for something: "What's wrong?" Did you find anything? ”

"No, no, I'm just weird."

Conan, who picked up a glass shard with a handkerchief, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his left hand: "If I'm not mistaken, this glass is a special kind of bulletproof glass with high strength.

"How did the killer manage to break it without anyone noticing? If you want to break it unconsciously, you usually need professional tools, right?

"And, in general, what kind of person would use bulletproof glass in their bedroom windows?"

Conan, who had already walked around the scene of the crime before the police came, glanced at the location of the deceased before his death, and his expression was a little solemn: "I have checked, in this whole villa, there is only this bedroom balcony floor-to-ceiling window made of bulletproof glass. ”

"Judging from the information currently available to the police, the deceased Kazuto Sakada only ran a floppy disk business and did not involve the black industry. His wife, secretary, and friends also confirmed this. ”

Miwako Sato, who has a police channel, also shook her head when she heard this: "The monitoring equipment inside the villa has been destroyed unexpectedly, and we are currently calling up the monitoring of the relevant areas outside the villa to see if we can find any clues about the murderer." ”

"Then again, Brother Maori, what did the deceased ask you to come over for today?"

While Miwako Sato and Conan were still communicating, on the other side, Twilight Thirteen, who had seen Mori Kogoro again, was a little speechless, but he dutifully asked why he was here.

"Well, I don't really know about that."

Maori Kogoro, who was also confused, scratched his head in confusion: "Three days ago, President Sakata invited me to come here today with a deposit of 10 million yen, saying that there was something that I needed to help investigate, and that only my detective Mori Kogoro could help him with this matter, and then I brought Xiaolan Conan here today." ”

"What is the only thing you can help with?"

Hearing this, Twilight's eyes suddenly changed, and his gaze immediately fell on Mrs. Sakata, who was now Chinese New Year's Eve three years old and looked full of charm: "May I ask Mrs. Sakata, do you know what this is about?" ”

"I don't know."

The red and swollen eyes that had obviously cried had a bit of pity for me, and the woman shook her head: "I never ask him about business, and he won't tell him about any difficulties." In fact, before he set off with people to hide in this villa, his behavior was quite normal. ”

“……”

Twilight Thirteen and Mori Kogoro looked at each other, then asked, "Can you tell me who your husband wanted to hide from when he was alive?" ”

"Well, okay, yes, I still have their business cards here, I can give them to you."

Mrs. Sakata, who nodded busily, seemed to think of something, and hurriedly got up from her chair, took back her bag in the company of the police officer, took out some business cards from it and handed them to Twilight Thirteen: "These are the people, they are all my husband's friends of wine and meat, but recently my husband doesn't really want to party with them, so he often finds excuses to hide in this villa." ”

Twilight Thirteen, who had reached out to take it, narrowed her eyes slightly, and flipped through them one by one until she stopped at a business card named Kenjiro Hirai.

Maori Kogoro, who came over on the side, was still waiting for him to continue flipping, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but be curious: "What's the matter, Dusk Police Department?" Do you know this person? ”

“…… Before, there was a news that the president of an IT company in Rice Flower Town was shot and died eighteen times, do you remember Brother Maori? That's the name of the president who died, and that's the company on the business card. (Chapter 304)

Twilight Thirteen's brows were tightly locked, and he felt a faint feeling in his heart.

More than 20 years of police experience at the grassroots level told him that there was a high probability that there would be something wrong here.

"IT companies? What does it do? ”

"The business is Internet data, and I don't know much about it."

As an old-school Showa detective who doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, it's a bit difficult for Twilight 13 to explain what the business of an IT company is.

It would be nice if he could remember the term "Internet data".

"The people on these business cards are all social elites, either company executives or company presidents, and the rest are some legal professionals, which is very in line with their identity and social circle."

After taking out a business card with the name of the law firm on it from the stack of business cards, Mori Kogoro rubbed his chin and thought, "Ibaka Tamanosuke...... Where did I hear this name before? ”

"Izaka Tamanosuke?"

Miwako Sato, who was inspecting the scene, suddenly heard a name that made her feel familiar, and she hurriedly turned her head, just in time to see Mori Kogoro clapping his hands and suddenly realizing his appearance: "I remember, he was a prosecutor at the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office three years ago, and then he resigned and became a lawyer, and I heard Yingli mention him." ”

"Anyway, let's go through all the people on these business cards and ask them all they can find." Twilight Thirteen confessed to Takagi, and when he turned around, he noticed Miwako Sato's expression of wanting to speak-

"What's wrong, Sato?"

"The police department, the Maori detective just said this Isaka Tamanosuke, I checked."
