Officer Takagi's return doesn't mean anything to Ran and the others, but it means something significantly different to Conan and Heiji Hattori.

As soon as they saw the wall calendar in his hand, Conan and Hattori Heiji understood what they thought was wrong before, and they looked at the idol wall calendar hanging on the wall.

Next to him, the Twilight Police Department was in a good mood, and although Takagi was more of an elementary school student's subordinate than his own, he didn't care, and patted Takagi's shoulder in a friendly way.

"Takagi! You just missed Hattori's brilliant reasoning, and the prisoner is Iwatomi..."

"Mr. Iwatomi?" Officer Takagi was stunned for a moment, "But, shouldn't the prisoner be Mr. Hasami?" ”

"Huh?"

The Twilight Police Department, Kazuha, Xiaolan, and Uncle Maori were all stunned for a moment.

Gray Yuan glanced at Kaedehara, and Kaedehara gestured to her that everything was going well.

Looks like Kudo probably doesn't plan to reason on his own...

Gray Yuan was a little unhappy, so she was not interested in listening to Officer Takagi's reasoning.

"Oh, you didn't hear that," Remembering Takagi's absence, the Twilight Police Department said, "Anyway—"

"Anyway, let's hear from this officer first, shall we?" Heiji Hattori, who had just rushed back to the table and looked at the table, interrupted.

The Twilight Police Department was a little surprised. But Takagi is a member of the Metropolitan Police Department after all, and although he trusts detectives more, it's good if he can show something for himself...

"Ahem, let's talk about it, Takagi..."

"It must be another attempt to eliminate the criminal's erroneous reasoning..."Uncle Mori muttered quietly from the side, and everyone's attention was on Takagi, and no one except Kaedehara heard it.

"That's, it's because of this..."

Officer Takagi showed the wall calendar in his hand to everyone, it was the June wall calendar, "Look, the upper right corner of the calendar, which is the upper left corner of yours, has a stain..."

"Well, that's right..."

"It's not obvious, but it's a mark left after wiping off the blood."

"W-what!"

"This torn wall calendar is from June, and there is a schedule for the 30th, and the president was killed on the 29th, so although I haven't identified it yet, this should be the prisoner who tore it off after seeing the blood stains on the wall calendar..."

"Stained with blood... That's right! The Dusk Police Department suddenly said, "The coat that the prisoner wore when he committed the crime!" The blood on his left shoulder did have been wiped off..."

"Well, the prisoner..."

Because Kaedehara just said it briefly, Officer Takagi was a little stuck, so Kaedehara helped to pick it up.

"After killing the president, the prisoner leaned against the wall with a sigh of relief, so the blood stained the calendar, right, Uncle Takagi?"

"No, that's right..."

Officer Takagi breathed a sigh of relief, "The president has a habit of collecting torn calendars, and it may also be because when the prisoner noticed that there were blood stains on the calendar, it was already the second day after the body was found with others, and there was no way to throw it away, so he had to tear up the calendar and hide it in the president's room..."

"I see!"

"Then why do you say that the prisoner is Mr. Hasami?" He Ye was both curious and worried, because what she said now and what he just said seemed to be different, and she was quite concerned now.

Although if Officer Takagi was right, Heiji's reasoning just now would not be considered a win, Kazuha didn't want to see him make a mistake in his reasoning.

Chao Pingji secretly glanced at him, and Kazuha was surprised to find that he had returned to his previous confident appearance.

This is the time of the peace...

"It's because of the height, right?" Hattori Heiji took over the conversation.

"Ahh Yes," Takagi replied, "of the four suspects, only Mr. Hasami is taller, and the calendar is hanging very high, and the others are standing on the edge of the calendar, and it is impossible for their shoulders to touch the bloodstained position..."

The Twilight Police Department, who had also seen the four people, simply recalled it and understood that the height gap between Mr. Hasami and the others was very obvious.

However, he had other questions.

"Hey, Takagi," the Twilight Police Department questioned, "It's possible that the blood stains were deliberately stained so high, in order to blame..."

"No," to the surprise of the Twilight Police Department, it was Heiji Hattori who retorted to him, "If it's to blame, there's no reason to tear off the calendar, what is really used to blame..."

Hattori Heiji paused, "Death message." ”

"Huh? But Brother Hattori, you just..."

"That's what the death message means, that's right!" Hattori Heiji defended with some humility, "But this is actually deliberately designed by the prisoner. ”

This is a trap deliberately planted by the prisoners. It's like the name of the mystery book that Hattori's mom bought him back in the morning...

A suicide note orchestrated by the devil.

"So, deliberately designed?"

"Didn't you notice? There's a lot of incongruity on this table..."

"Incongruous?" Uncle Maori didn't see anything wrong when he looked at it.

"Ahh

Conan, who also came to the table, sold a moe, "If you hit the table hard while struggling, the ink will be spilled, right?" ”

"Huh?" Uncle Maori was puzzled.

"Then why didn't the other pen holders fall down?" Conan sighed, and had no choice but to point to the prompt.

"Really, really..."

"It's like—" Conan paused, "the prisoner deliberately knocked over this bottle of ink!" ”

"Stupid! How could a prisoner do such a thing? The ink is spilled in the president's hand! I don't know what clues the president will leave behind..."

Uncle Maori was halfway through his speech, when he suddenly remembered that the results of the death message conflicted with the results of Officer Takagi's analysis just now, realized something, and stopped talking.

The Twilight Police Department also remembered that Heiji Hattori had just said that this was a deliberate design by the prisoner.

"Could it be..."

"Yes," Heiji Hattori said, "the prisoner deliberately spilled the ink and asked the president to leave a death message..."

"But the president thinks the prisoner is Mr. Iwatomi...?"

"That's right, the president was deceived by the real criminal. He must have been attacked by the prisoner who had entered the room in advance and ambushed here, and was directly knocked unconscious, and he couldn't see the prisoner's face. When he awoke, he found himself lying on the ground with his back tied, his vision obscured by the table, and he could only see the feet of the prisoner on the other side of the table through the bottom of the table..."

"Ah, yes!" Officer Takagi high-fived him with a fist, "Mr. Iwatomi likes to collect more than 30 pairs of white golf brand-name shoes, and he will take them out and wipe them once a week!" ”

"Huh? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"Well, because I don't think it has anything to do with the case..."

Officer Takagi was a little embarrassed. Although he really felt that it had nothing to do with the case at the time, he was also ready to find an opportunity to talk about it, but he was pulled away by Kaede Yuan before he could speak.

The Twilight Police Department thought for a moment, "In other words, the real murderer is actually Mr. Hasami, who wore the white shoes that Mr. Iwatomi collected, which made the president mistakenly think that Mr. Iwatomi did it, and deliberately made the president leave a false death message..."

"The fact that the president has a camera in a blind spot where he can't see is proof," Hattori Heiji said, "and then connect the monitor to monitor the president and kill him after he leaves a death message." However, if it was really misled by the shoes, how did the prisoner get Mr. Iwatomi's shoes..."

"Maybe it's the same paragraph..."

"I know that, too," Officer Takagi was even more embarrassed, "the four of them often stay at Mr. Iwatomi's house, and they drank together at his house on the day of the crime..."

Therefore, it is very likely that the shoes that deceived the president were stolen by the prisoner from Mr. Iwatomi. And in order not to arouse suspicion and expose his own blame methods, the criminal most likely quietly returned it after committing the crime.

Therefore, it is very likely that the shoes that deceived the president were stolen by the prisoner from Mr. Iwatomi. And in order not to arouse suspicion and expose his own blame methods, the criminal most likely quietly returned it after committing the crime.

Thinking of this, the Twilight Police Department simply asked people to call the four people to come to the scene.

At a glance, it can be seen that Mr. Hasami is the only one who can stand and rub the blood stains on his coat onto the calendar.

And at this time, Officer Chiba, who continued to investigate the alibi by viewing the program footage on the TV station, also saw Iwatomi's figure in the video, confirming his alibi.

This means that the death message is indeed a blame modusion.

After noticing that there was also a big difference in shoe size between Hasami and Iwatomi, they realized that the prisoner would probably have to take off his socks if he wanted to wear ill-fitting shoes.

This means that shoes that have not been scrubbed by Iwatomi will leave evidence of odor.

"However," Hattori Heiji looked at Hasami, who had been silent, "Mr. Hatomi should have other reasons for wearing these tight shoes..."

“……”

"Can you tell us why?"

Posami was silent for a moment, then spoke, "The reason is that after killing Mr. Tsujiya, he blamed Vice President Iwatomi, and then kicked him out of the toy-making site... Just because of this..."

"I don't remember anything that made you hate me so much," Iwatomi said.

"It's not me who hates you, it's the children... It's the kids who bought the toys that you and the president are going to sell this time..."

"Huh? What's going on? The Dusk Police Department asked.

"For example, the corners of this block were supposed to be rounded, but in order to cut costs, the president and vice president decided not to do it... It's not just the bricks, it's the same with other toys..."

"It's true that it looks good and sells well, but the children who buy it back and play with it are prone to injury, but the president threatens to fire if he opposes it..."

The other two employees said one by one, apparently complaining about the president and vice president.

"But, but you don't have to kill anyone, do you?" Vice President Iwatomi was a little shocked, "After all, the company's business situation is not good..."

"Bad business? Haha, do you know what President Tsujiya said when he was tied up? He said—Hey, Iwatomi, don't you just want money? If you want money, you can have as much as you want, and if you don't believe it, open the safe and take a look..."

"Huh?"

"Is there any money?"

"yes, I don't know how he got the money..."

Pozzo agreed, then was silent for a moment before continuing, "I just don't want to sell those half-finished toys to naïve kids... That's it..."

It's really... The motive for the killing.

Kaedehara thought to himself.

In any case, under the starring roles of Takagi and Hattori Heiji, the case is solved, and next, it's another highlight tonight.

The Twilight Police Department praised Takagi as they escorted the prisoner downstairs with him, and the people who remained in the room were silent for a moment.

Heiji Hattori cleared his throat, "Okay, we can also get ready to go to Koshien..."

"What!" He Ye was dissatisfied, "Pingji, your reasoning is obviously wrong!" ”

"Stupid! I've said that the message of death points to 'that man', and you have to understand it as a prisoner! ”

"Hehe..."Conan looked disdainful.

Kaedehara and Ashbara decide to watch the show.

"I don't believe it, you must have made a mistake in Pingji, and you only changed your mouth halfway through..."

Hearing Kazuha's words, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but frown.

This stupid woman was stupid when she reasoned, why was she so sharp at this time...

"Stupid, it's not like that! And in the end, I also gave a complete reasoning..."

"That's what Officer Takagi said first!"

"Yes, but if Officer Takagi says it, I don't know which side will win," Ran said.

"That must be Kudo-"

"Kudo?"

"Slip of the tongue," in the face of Kaedehara and Conan's threatening eyes, Hattori Heiji quickly changed his words, "I just want to compete with Kudo too much..."

Kudo, this guy, obviously has his own reasoning, and he doesn't come out to say it himself, so he has to let others say it... I'm still watching the play there, but I hurried out to shout a word about Koshien...

"Forget it," and Ye habitually quarreled with each other and planned to admit defeat, after all, he did have more to reason than himself, "I-"

"That—" Officer Takagi, who had just left, rushed back again.

"Huh?"

"Uh... I just heard from the police department that you're doing a reasoning showdown," Officer Takagi said, "so I thought I'd come up and tell you... Actually, I just said those things to me..."

“……”

Now the field is full of familiar people, and Kaedehara doesn't care. I just feel a little embarrassed to be looked at like this...

What made him feel a little embarrassed was that he was still a little dark in his heart...

It's all Kudo Shinichi's fault, he's not such a person.

Kaedehara thought to himself.

But in any case, the reasoning duel is over.

Although Kazuha was a little disappointed, they eventually had to go to see the decisive battle in Koshien.

"Hey, Kudo."

While waiting for the taxi, Hattori Heiji quietly pulled Kaedehara aside, "I said, why is it nothing good to come out with you every time?" ”

"Huh?" Kaedehara looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise.

"When I first met you, my reasoning... Well, something went wrong. And then the next bombing, I waited there with that Kudo for a long time, and you had already secretly solved it and hid it from us... I've met you a few times since then, and I've encountered all kinds of events, let alone today..."

"It's not because you're in a hurry."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji reflected on it, indeed, if he had chosen to wait a little today, he wouldn't have been so entangled...

"There's no difference between winning and losing in reasoning..."Kaede Hara said solemnly, "because..."

Kaedehara paused, "There is always only one truth. ”

“……”

Conan, who had slipped over to eavesdrop, rolled his eyes a little speechlessly. Although it was another self, these words came out of Kaedehara's mouth, making Conan always feel as if his lines had been stolen...

Hattori Heiji was slightly stunned.

He felt as if Kudo's tone was memorizing lines, and some of his answers were incorrect...

But... Pretty reasonable...
