"President Moriyama was killed between 1 and 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and apart from President Moriyama himself, the only people who have the key to the door of this craga room are Deputy Curator Sotaro Harada, breeder Reika Kuramoto, and Technical Minister Takashi Yaguchi."

Inside the crag, detectives and police officers are standing together, looking for clues to solve the case.

Among them, Sotaro Harada and Takashi Yaguchi were always working in the East Leaf Building between 1 and 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and they had a clear alibi.

The police have checked this with their other colleagues, and the surveillance cameras inside the East Leaf Building have also proved it. Miwako Sato looked at the two men not far away and said.

Among the two men, the taller one with an injured right arm is naturally Sotaro Harada.

And the short, fat, crutches-like, and kinder one is Takashi Yaguchi, the technical director of Clover Hills.

It is worth mentioning that Takashi Yaguchi's right leg was injured in a car accident in his early years, and although amputation was avoided after surgery, he was left with a lifelong disability and had to rely on crutches to support him to walk normally.

And his usual car is also a specially customized, car that can be driven with only his hands.

This is also true after being confirmed by the police.

"Speaking of which, isn't there a surveillance camera in this aquarium?" Mori Kogoro looked up curiously.

If there is a camera, then directly call up the monitoring screen to see, wouldn't it be possible to find out the murderer immediately?

"No, it is said that in order not to spoil the atmosphere inside the aquarium, we just installed a camera at the gate." Miwako Sato replied.

"Also, if there were cameras in the aquarium, the murderer wouldn't have killed people in this place......" Mori Kogoro raised his hand and touched his head, laughing.

"And what about the breeder Reika Kuramoto? Does she have an alibi too? Hattori Heiji asked, looking at a young woman sitting not far away.

The woman is dressed in a work uniform and has a ponytail, and she has a cute appearance and looks very young, and it is none other than Reika Kuramoto, the keeper of the aquarium.

"Not really, but her situation is more special, and yesterday afternoon at 1 to 3 o'clock she was cleaning the sink in the aquarium with a few other keepers......

Saying that, Miwako Sato had a bit of a headache, because this was even more outrageous than an alibi.

At the time, there were several keepers present at the aquarium, so unless these people were working together, it was logically impossible for the murderer to kill Hiromichi Moriyama in the cwawa without completely avoiding the keepers, and then dumping his body in the tank.

"What is the process of cleaning the sink by the keeper?" Conan asked suddenly.

"Remove the fish from the tank, then drain the water, clean it and spray it with detergent, then spray it with a neutralizer that neutralizes the detergent, and finally put the water and fish back in the tank."

Wataru Takagi flipped through the small notebook he had just used to record the suspect's speech and said:

"And yesterday afternoon, between 1 and 3 o'clock, the keeper was doing this step of draining the water in the sink and starting to clean it."

"How the hell did the murderer kill President Moriyama quietly under such circumstances?"

In addition, according to the surveillance camera at the gate of the aquarium, President Moriyama did not enter or leave the aquarium from 1 to 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and even before.

In other words, during the time period when President Moriyama was supposed to be killed, he was not actually at the aquarium. ”

"What?" Conan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately lowered his head and frowned.

Could it be that after being killed elsewhere, the murderer moved him to the aquarium to dump the body?

No...... This is too unlikely, except for a few special scenes like the aquarium, most places in Clover Hill have cameras installed.

If the murderer had brought Hiromichi Moriyama's body from somewhere else, there would have been a lot of cameras along the way, and it would have been easy for the police to catch the clues.

With this in mind, Conan is still inclined to Hiromichi Moriyama to be killed inside the aquarium, but ...... What exactly did the murderer use to hide the murder?

"Conan!"

Suddenly, the voices of several schoolchildren pulled Conan's thoughts back.

When he looked back, he saw that Qing Shui Jing had also come to the cragfield with the three small ones, plus Gray Plains.

"Why are you all here? Is there a case going on? ”

"Yes, now that the police uncles are handling the case, children are not allowed to make trouble, right?" Wataru Takagi said with a smile as he took the initiative to step forward to meet the three little ones, seemingly trying to prevent them from approaching the scene.

As for Shizu Shizu, after bringing these elementary school students here, she just left them alone and walked towards the two Suzuki sisters who were sitting in the corner.

"How's the police investigation?" Sitting next to Ayako Suzuki, Shimizu asked.

"There is no clue yet, all the suspects either have an alibi or there is no possibility of murder at all, and the police are still not sure whether President Moriyama was killed here......" Suzuki Ayako replied truthfully.

"It sounds complicated." Qing Shui Jing replied with a smile when she heard this, her eyes flickering slightly.

She was hesitating, there was definitely something wrong with Hiromichi Moriyama's murder, and it wouldn't hurt the organization to dig out who did it to him.

It's just that she can't decide whether she wants to intervene herself, or wait quietly for the results of the investigation by these police officers and detectives......

If she chooses to help the police catch the killer faster, will she be able to disrupt the plans of the hostile people hiding behind the scenes, thus forcing them to show their feet?

"By the way, have you investigated that storeroom?" At this moment, Hattori Heiji suddenly pointed to the small warehouse in the corner opposite the craga and asked.

The crag space on the second floor of the aquarium is not connected into a single block, but is divided into two large parts, left and right.

The crag on the right is connected to the chamber of the room, while on the left is a small warehouse two meters high and five meters wide welded with iron plates, which looks like it was used to store cleaning tools.

The closest point to the left and right crags is 1.6 meters, and the keepers usually rely on pedals to get back and forth.

"I've been in and seen it before, but there's almost nothing in it, and it looks like it's been abandoned." Wataru Takagi replied immediately.

"Abandoned?"

Hattori Heiji heard this, stepped forward and jumped over the gap between the two sides of the crag, and walked towards the small warehouse.
