The word "scheming" is obviously not trying to persuade the ministry to be hiring, but to talk about Uncle Maori.

When the group followed him to the scene of the crime, the Twilight Police Department had already brought people to wait here. Uncle Maori obviously deliberately served the water, and it was a good excuse to put forward a reasoning duel and ask everyone to help him think about the case.

"Oh, Brother Maori, I'm waiting for you," said the Twilight Police Department who answered the door, "I'm sorry to let you come here..."

"Where..."Uncle Maori just showed his true form after just a moment of modesty, "If you don't dislike it, please leave it to me, who just exposed the bribery incident of the scum parliamentarian... Please feel free to say! ”

"Hehe... Anyway, let's go in first..."

"I'm sorry..."Heiji Hattori, who was following closely behind Uncle Maori, said a word and walked in first.

Conan with him.

"Hey, hey! No, let unrelated people into the scene..."

"That's Heiji Hattori's brother," Kaedehara explained to the Twilight Police Department, "You saw the killing of the diplomat and Uncle Twilight in the previous incident of Teiji Moriya..."

"The killing of a diplomat?"

The Twilight Police Department thought about it for a moment, but there were so many cases that happened to Mihua every day, and he really didn't remember this kind of thing...

"It's just that the reasoning went wrong, and then corrected the high school detective who came over..."Kaedehara struggled for a moment, and decided that the Twilight Police Department should be the most impressive.

"Oh!" The Twilight Police Department suddenly realized, and remembered that he had seen Hattori Heiji a few times after that, "It turned out to be Hattori's brother!" ”

Hattori, who walked into the house with his hands in his pockets, stumbled one by one, almost fell to the ground, and then looked back at Kaedehara speechlessly. Kaedehara blinked innocently.

Kudo, this guy is definitely taking revenge...

Speaking of which, it seems that every time I use the word "you woman", I end up like this...

He thought about it, and Uncle Maori also helped to talk about it.

It's been a few days since the crime, and the scene has already been inspected by useless forensic personnel, so the Twilight Police Department doesn't bother with such a trivial matter anymore.

Kaedehara and Gray Plains also walked in after Uncle Maori, and Xiaolan and Kazuha walked last.

Through the porch, you will come to the innermost living room-like room, which is the scene of the crime. In the middle is a table with a variety of design tools, such as drawing tablets and triangular rulers.

The Twilight Police Department began to introduce the basic information of the case, "The person who was killed was the president of this toy company, Kento Tsujiya, 53 years old...

This is the president's own home and production office.

The estimated time of death is June 29, around 5 p.m. on Sunday. It was found the next day, around 10 a.m. on Monday... There were four people who found it, all of whom were employees of the company. ”

As he spoke, he glanced out the window and downstairs, "These four people have always come to the snack bar in front of this building before work hours, and they are waiting for the president to greet them while eating breakfast...

It was already half past nine o'clock in the morning, and the president hadn't come to call them yet, so the four of them used the spare key to enter the place..."

So, I found out that the president who was tied up with a rope was beaten to death with a golf club... fell in the shadow of this table..."

Hattori Heiji took over the words of the Twilight Police Department. He was crouching with Kaedehara and Conan on the edge of the fixed line of the traces after the corpse was removed, and his tone was deep, as if he was very serious about the reasoning duel.

I don't know if I really want to watch a baseball game or if I just value reasoning duels... Kaedehara thought. Speaking of which, no one told Hattori Heiji that there was no winner in the last diplomat incident, which is a bit of a cool thing, and he himself helped him open up in the American Island mermaid incident...

No wonder this guy calls and harasses himself at every turn, wanting to reason with himself...

Kaedehara understood.

Others were a little surprised by Hattori's words.

"How do you know, Heiji?" And Ye said curiously.

"There's ink spilled on the back of the corpse, right? I'm afraid it was knocked over when the prisoner and the president were arguing, and the president was tied up before he could be helped up... So the traces of the ink-stained rope are all over the floor, and this is the evidence that the president is tied and struggling..."

"Then why use golf clubs?" He Ye then asked.

"Because only the head has blood stains, and there are several slender marks of about ten centimeters on the side of the head. This is the mark of hitting the metal part of the head of the bat that was crooked several times when hitting the victim's head..."

"Then why do you want to tie it up and fight it later?" Xiaolan also asked curiously. Another of their teammates, Gray Hara, was curiously looking at some of the toys in the room.

"You must be asking for the password to the safe or something, right?" Conan turned his head to look at the safe on the shelf on the other side of the table, "Look, isn't the safe over there with the door open..."

"I see, so it is..."Uncle Maori, who was standing by the safe, suddenly realized, "In other words, the prisoner is a foreign prisoner with the goal of money..."

"I don't know if it's an outsider, but the prisoner tied up the president and forced him to ask for the password to the safe, and killed the president who saw his face with a golf club, which should be true!"

Hattori looked at the Twilight Police Department, "Really, the Police Department?" ”

"Ah, that..."

Seeing that Hattori Heiji was progressing so fast all of a sudden, He Ye and Xiaolan were a little worried that they would lose the game. They didn't expect Gray Hara, who didn't seem to be very interested in reasoning duels on the sidelines, so they looked worriedly at Uncle Maori, who didn't seem to be sleepy.

"Hey, Dad, you don't care, do you?"

"They had the upper hand at the beginning!"

"Yes, yes?"

Uncle Maori touched his head with some embarrassment.

It's a pity that there shouldn't be a sleeping Kogoro here today. Kaede Hara thought, and then listened to the conversation between Heiji Hattori and the Twilight Police Department.

Because Uncle Maori said that there were many suspicious points in the case before, and now they found out that even the police can know about it, so there must be something that the Twilight Police Department has not said.

Under the pressure of Hattori Heiji, the Twilight Police Department took out a set of photos from his arms, "Hmm... Dropped around the president... These four building blocks. ”

"If it's a block, there's also a corpse next to it..."

On the edge of the trace line, against the wall, there is a small pile of bricks, all six of which are engraved with katakana, and there are dozens of them.

"But only these four have the president's fingerprints and ink on them..."The Twilight Police Department placed the four photos on the table in order, "If you arrange the ink-stained noodles..."

The front of the four blocks in the photo is also engraved with the words "o, mo, chi, ya" in romanization. And according to the way the Twilight Police Department has just been arranged, it is a toy (o mo cha).

"Toys?" Uncle Maori said, "No, isn't it a cake shop (o mo chi ya)?" ”

"It's supposed to be a rice cake shop, right?" He Ye squatted on the side of the pile of blocks to express his opinion, and Xiaolan agreed.

Gray Yuan Ai gathered on the edge of Kaede Yuan to look at the photo together.

"Hey, police department, tell me where these four blocks fell in this photo?" Heiji Hattori said.

"Hmm... Here's a picture of when the body was found..."

The Twilight Police Department took out another photo, and Hattori Heiji took it very thoughtfully and put it on the table so that the three elementary school students could see it clearly.

In this photo, a tied man is lying on the ground with his head in disarray.

"Well, this one who bleeds from his forehead and falls there is..."

"yes, the president of the toy company who was killed, Tsujiya," said the Twilight Police Department, "the location of the four blocks is in the pile on the lower left of the president... And then there's why only these four bricks have the president's fingerprints and ink..."

"The ink that got on it was the bottle that fell on the president's back, right?" Uncle Maori also noticed the overturned inkwell on the table, "The question is who got the ink on the blocks..."

"Hmm. There are president's fingerprints on the blocks, but it's possible that the prisoner deliberately let the dead president get them..."

"Are these really the only four bricks with the president's fingerprints?" Conan asked.

"Ah, no, the other blocks that fell on the ground also have the president's fingerprints... But only these four pieces have the most touches, and they are almost everywhere, not only on the six sides, but also on the places where the inscriptions are recessed..."

"That said, these four bricks..."

Heiji Hattori said, "It's the death message left by the president before he was killed..."

Kaedehara was a little depressed, he hated this thing the most.

In other words, if it were him, he would have left a death message, and he would definitely find a way to escape first, but this group of guys always left a death message as if they had accepted their fate, or a mystery that the police couldn't understand at all...

And this is still a very "Japanese" puzzle solving...

Thinking that Hattori Heiji and Conan were there anyway, Kaedehara decided to skip this puzzle-style death message and look for other clues.
