"Contact lenses?"

Soon, Officer Takagi returned.

"Yes," Officer Takagi said to the three suspects, including President Bushi, "I would like to ask if you have any habits of wearing contact lenses." ”

"I'm not in the habit of wearing contact lenses." Ms. Round City shook her head.

"Neither do I."

"I'm not going to wear that."

President Fushi and reporter Kajiya also gave negative answers.

"That's right..."

"What's wrong? Suddenly asked about this. ”

"Ah, that's right," Officer Takagi replied, "There was a folding stool on the side of the stage, and we found a contact lens on the back of the stool, so we came and asked." In addition, we also found a piece of paper in Mr. Potu's pocket that reads "I'm sorry]..."

"Excuse me?"

"Hmm. I need to take some notes," Officer Takagi said as he pulled out his manual and a pen, "so please write this on this..."

Because Kaedehara and his party had access to Mr. Hato's body before the police arrived, Officer Takagi wanted them to leave the same handwriting as the three suspects.

However, elementary school students like Kaedehara and Conan obviously don't need it, so Kaedehara stood aside and then read the message that Gray Hara had just sent.

"This should work, right?" The message that Gray Yuan Wai had just sent read, "Transport knot. I'll send you the link as well. ”

This is followed by a large copy of the sentence, a few pictures and a link.

"Thanks." Kaedehara typed back, "Great help." ”

"Come less. You know this kind of thing. I think you just want to be lazy, too lazy to think. ”

Kaedehara replied to the message, and then pressed the phone screen on the side. Someone approached him.

Immediately after, he heard Xiaolan's voice coming from behind him.

"Xiaokong, what's Miss Azi's surname?"

“……”

Kaedehara didn't reply, but turned his head expressionlessly and looked at "Azusa Enomoto" who had just asked him.

The smile on Belmore's face froze instantly, but then she returned to normal, still bending over and looking at Kaedehara like this, as if what she had just said was not what she had just said.

“… Conan and Sister Azi are more familiar. Kaedehara replied, "But you're so bold, you don't even know your surname, so you came to pretend to be Miss Azi..."

"What's the matter, you didn't directly expose me at the shrine, did you?"

Belmore regained her voice and whispered, "And if something happens to me here, the organization will definitely notice you." So please, tell me okay? ”

Kaedehara glanced at Conan out of the corner of his eye, who was standing with Xiaolan. Probably because of this, Belmore came over to lie to himself, hoping that he would subconsciously speak.

However, Belmore was right, and even Conan didn't mean to debunk Belmore...

"Enomoto." Kaedehara replied, "Your name is Azusa Enomoto." ”

"Thanks!" Belmore put on a big smile again.

It just so happened that Officer Takagi also came over with a notebook and a pen and called her, "Miss Azi, please write it too!" ”

"Okay!"

Belmore almost bounced over. After she successfully signed her name, Amuro couldn't help but lean over to her to talk.

Kaedehara also quietly approached them, but kept enough distance to allow himself to hear the conversation clearly without suspicion.

"You really know, Miss Azi's surname..."

Kaedehara could hear Amuro's voice lowered, "If you say hello to me beforehand, I can provide more detailed information." Why did you suddenly pretend to be Miss Ah Zi and come over? If you want to investigate the content of the lyrics that haven't been released yet, I'll be able to do it alone..."

Sure enough, I came to investigate that song... Kaedehara thought to himself.

"I was uneasy when I heard that you were coming here with them." Belmore looked at Xiaolan, "I wonder if you can keep your agreement with me..."

"Ah, no matter what happens, you can't let those three people be in danger, right?"

"But compared to that," Belmore didn't seem to want to continue the conversation, but looked at Okiya again, "who is that?" ”

"His name is Okiya Pleiades, and he is a graduate student at Toto University, and he lives next door to the child you said, Kaedehara Sora..."

Amuro said, following Belmore's gaze to Okiya Pleia, who was leaving his handwriting. The other person is using his left hand.

Speaking of which, the last time I saw Okiya, he took off his mask with his right hand, but when he put the tea in front of him, he used his left hand...

Now it seems that Okiya Pleiades should be left-handed.

Amuro couldn't help but think of Shuichi Akai, who is also left-handed.

After Okiya finished writing, he waited for a while, and the results of the handwriting on that piece of paper came out.

But the result was a bit of a surprise to the Twilight Police Department.

"What?" He was surprised, "The words on that piece of paper are the handwriting of the victim Potuludao himself?" Is that the victim himself stuffed "I'm sorry" in his breast pocket after writing "I'm sorry" on a piece of paper? ”

"Yes, yes," Officer Takagi said, looking at his manual, "according to the forensic officer, the paper was torn from the notebook that the victim used to write the lyrics, and the handwriting on it was the same as the other lyrics in the notebook. Although I haven't had time to compare it with the words written by those people just now, it shouldn't be wrong. ”

"Well, in that case," the Twilight Police Department said to the crowd, "it means that the victim feels guilty about someone, and that is probably the motive for the killing." Can you think of anything about making him feel guilty? ”

The last thing the Twilight Police Department asked was the last thing he asked, Ms. Enjo, who was closest to him, so Ms. Encheng thought for a moment and replied:

"I don't know much about guilt, but if you want to say something inferior... Potu often complains that I don't have much affinity, and I have to work harder than other handsome musicians..."

"Oh..."

"I also advised him not to care about this," echoed President Busch, "I told him that this unapproachable aura is also one of his charms..."

"So," Sonoko remembered, "Mr. Hato's style seems to have changed a little lately!" ”

"Well," Lan agreed, "it feels like he's more gentle than before." ”

"What are the changes you are talking about?"

"Well, that's what it feels like..."

"Isn't it what it looks like?" The garden was a little uncertain.

"Could it be because of the contact lenses?" Conan continued, "It makes the eyes look bigger. ”

"Yes, yes!" Officer Takagi gave a look of surprise, "In that case, that contact pair is actually Mr. Hato's..."

"Mr. Botu, has he been wearing contact lenses lately?" The Twilight Police Department looked at Ms. Round City. The girl in Encheng is Mr. Potu's agent and should know about it.

"Well, yes. He has been wearing contact lenses these days. ”

Although Ms. Enjo didn't take the initiative to tell her about the contact lenses when she asked about them, she forgot to ask at the time, so Officer Takagi hesitated for a moment and swallowed back the words and changed the sentence.

"In that case, when Mr. Hato was hoisted, the contact lenses fell off," Officer Takagi said, "However, I haven't found another contact person yet..."

"I know where." Kaedehara said.

"Huh?"

"Really, really?"

Everyone looked at Kaedehara in surprise.

"Hmmm! I saw it not long ago," Kaedehara said, looking at Lady Enjo, "and it's stuck to the clothes behind this aunt's back." ”

Ms. Yuancheng wears dark clothes with intricate patterns, so the contact lenses glued to them are not very conspicuous.

But if you look at it after you have this thought, it's obviously different, and the Twilight Police Department can see the beautiful contact lenses at a glance.

Wearing gloves, he removed the sticky piece of contact lenses from Ms. Yuancheng's back and handed it to his men for safekeeping.

"So, you did it..."

Lady Round City was silent.

"But," said President Bushi, looking at the contact lenses and then at Ms. Enjo, in disbelief, "is she not going to be able to do this kind of thing?" ”

"Yes," Officer Takagi came back to his senses, "Wave was hanging from the stage with a guitar on his shoulder, and was hoisted about three meters from the stage with a rope..."

Moreover, the time of the alibi of these three suspects does not intersect, and it is impossible for the two to join forces.

"You can do it with a transport knot." Conan spoke.

It was his own idea.

In fact, he originally wanted to wait until he found the evidence before going back to the scene to demonstrate it directly, but he didn't expect Kaedehara to simply find the evidence and say it directly, so he had to skip the steps of the demonstration.

"Transport, transport knot?"

Kaedehara clicked on the picture saved on his phone and showed it to the Twilight Police Department, "Just like this, knot the rope and make a small ring..."

"This little ring acts as a pulley and pulls the rope twice as much." Conan picked up the conversation, "Just use the chairs in the audience to do this a few more times, and you can pull the rope with four or even eight times the traction..."

"Is this going to work?" The Twilight Police Department took Kaedehara's phone and looked at the picture above.

"Yes." Okiya also thought the same way, "Although it is not a real pulley, and it is actually not such a high multiple due to the friction of the rope, if you use a rope that is relatively light and has less friction, even a child can have a chance to lift a heavy object." ”

"Well, this is the knot used to secure the goods on the car during logistics distribution." Kaedehara retrieved his phone from the Twilight Police Department, "That's how popular science is on this website!" I looked up on the Internet how to lift heavy objects, and I just found this! ”

"This—" Officer Takagi felt a little better, "It's really convenient to use the Internet now..."

"However," says Amuro, "because the rope is brand new, there will be marks in the knots, so I cut the remaining rope with the utility knife in the toolbox, tie it into a bundle, and place it on the side of the stage with the toolbox." Right, Miss Round City? ”

“… yes," Miss Enjo was silent for a moment before replying, "I used to work as a transporter when I was working, and I learned there..."

"But, but, why did you kill Botu?" President Bushi was puzzled, "Why do you want to kill the people you have supported for 17 years?" ”

But Ms. Roundtown didn't seem to want to answer the question.

"No matter how much you ask this question, you can't get an answer." "Because she—" he paused, "and didn't kill him." ”

"What!?"

"Didn't the officer say that? The contact lenses were found on the back of the folding chair next to the stage. In other words, the chair fell at the feet of Mr. Hato, who was hoisted up. ”

"But if he kills," Okiya added, "this folding chair will be useless..."

"That's right, and there's a baseball with a kite string tied to it. The other end of the kite string is tied to the rope, throw the baseball hard over the iron rod on the ceiling to let the kite string pass through, and then pull the kite string again to let the rope pass through that iron rod.

It's a bit rude, but at that height, I don't think Miss Enjo has the arm strength to throw a baseball over an iron rod. But if it's Mr. Poto, who is a pitcher in the high school baseball club, it's a different story. And the note in Mr. Botu's breast pocket that says "I'm sorry", you should already understand, right? ”

Amuro said, looking at the Twilight Police Department.

"It's hard to say that he is himself..."

"That's right. He hanged himself. Amuro then reasoned, "And the agent who found out at the scene had hoisted him to a higher place and disguised himself as a homicide." Although I don't understand why she did this, she must have wanted to make the scene impossible and not let anyone bear the charges, right? ”

"......" Ms. Yuancheng remained silent.

"Why are you hiding his suicide?" Kajiya reporter couldn't help but ask, "Did anything really happen seventeen years ago?" ”

"Could it be that he has been haunting the previous incident..."

"What about it?" The Twilight Police Department asked President Bushi.

"Actually, seventeen years ago, she had a child of Potu."

"Mr. Busch!?" Lady Round City was finally silent.

But President Busch continued.

"For the sake of the soon-to-be-born child, Botu, who had just debuted, locked himself in the recording studio day and night to compose music, and he didn't even want to die. When she rushed to persuade him not to do this, she collapsed at the door of the recording studio, and the child in her belly was also miscarried. Lying on the hospital bed, she begged me not to tell Botu about it. ”

"I see," Okiya said, "the song I wrote for the child who was about to be born at that time was that ASACA." That's why I haven't filled in the lyrics and treasured it for seventeen years..."

“……”

"When he found out about this," Okiya continued, he reasoned, "and wanted to write the lyrics for the child who died before he was born and release it as a new song, but he couldn't write anything, so he had to commit suicide." ”

"But why do you have to pretend to be him to kill?"

"If someone knew that he had committed suicide, they would definitely investigate the reason, wouldn't they?" Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, "I would be very sorry if his family knew that he committed suicide for his ex-girlfriend's child." ”

And so the case ended.

Although Mr. Hato committed suicide, Ms. Enjo disrupted the investigation of the case, so Officer Takagi escorted her away.

"What will that agent be convicted of?" Sonoko asked.

"Well, it's supposed to be the crime of destroying corpses?" The Twilight Police Department wasn't sure, "But we'll give you a suspended sentence if appropriate..."

"But we still don't know." "Why does ASACA use CA? ”

"Ah, I heard that Hatato said," explained President Busch, "and he heard that she was pregnant at a coffee shop after an all-nighter, so if it was a girl, it would be called ASAKA, and if it was a letter name, it would be called CAFE, which was called ASACA." ”

"However, as his best friend who talks about everything," Amuro said to President Busch, "but you forcibly turned his face and caused him to retire, probably because you knew that someone in his backing band was arrested for drugs, right?" ”

"W-This..."

"Hey, that's true," Belmore praised, "and the information is so fast!" ”

"There's already a flash report on the Internet!"

"However, you didn't find the key clues..."

"yes..."

Amuro glanced at Kaedehara without a trace, and the kid seemed to be still typing, "I didn't really know what you meant until today... What a sharp point..."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Looking at the expression of "applauding expressionlessly" sent by Gray Yuan after learning that the case had been resolved, Kaedehara typed back.
