Victim: Kumamoto Seijin.
32 years old.
Cause of death: excessive blood loss.
The murder weapon was a fruit knife stabbed deep into the abdomen.
The time of death was approximately 5: 50 p.m. to 8: 40 p.m. when the body was found.
"Yes.
5: 50 p.m. "Kumamoto Seijin's secretary, Chiyo Hoko, said.
"We get off work at 6 p.m.
So, Mr. Kumamoto always gives us instructions about the next day's schedule at this time. "
"Sister Chiyo, you didn't see him at that time, right?" Conan asked with an innocent and cute look.
Chiyo Hoko shook her head honestly. Conan hurriedly added, "Is it possible that someone recorded it in advance?
Because that's what I've seen in TV dramas.
To hide the real time of the crime. "
"That's unlikely." Chiyo Hoko thought for a moment.
"Today is a little special.
I told him about my resignation.
He even asked me to stay.
I've never mentioned this plan to anyone before. "
"So that's how it is!" Conan's tone was a little disappointed.
"Why did sister suddenly want to resign?"
Chiyo Hoko's face darkened.
Then, she forced a smile and said, "Children shouldn't ask so many questions." Conan felt that Chiyo Hoko's words revealed some complicated feelings.
The only person who could prove that the victim, Mr. Kumamoto Seijin, was still alive at that time was Chiyo Hoko.
Chiyo Hoko wasn't in the company the whole afternoon.
She didn't have any other witnesses.
If it was her … Conan couldn't help but ponder.
She did have the qualifications to commit this murder.
This was also the reason why she was suspected.
Besides Chiyo Hoko, there was also Muroe Riisa.
The third person was Kumamoto Seijin's middle school classmate and business partner.
Shimazu Kazuhiro.
He admitted that he went to the victim's house during the time period identified by the police.
But no one answered the door.
Shimazu Kazuhiro and Kumamoto Seijin didn't have a good relationship.
Kumamoto Seijin never gave Shimazu any face in front of others.
Just last night, he had publicly criticized the script that he had found, saying that it was unprecedentedly bad.
"That script was actually written by Mr. Shimazu himself," one of his subordinates said. "He wrote it for nine whole months, and he had a lot of expectations for it.
Yesterday morning, he said that he would definitely make Kumamoto satisfied and full of praise. "
"Shimazu -san threw a huge tantrum when he came back last night," another subordinate said.
"I've never seen Shimazu-san like that before. It's so scary.
He said that he must ask Mr. Kumamoto what's wrong with his script. "
"The murderer is you … Shimazu Kazuhiro!" Mōri Kogoro, who had been ignored, suddenly pointed at him.
"You're not willing to let the script that you worked so hard to write be criticized.
When you questioned him today, he chose harsher words.
You picked up a fruit knife and stabbed him in the stomach in a fit of anger, "Mōri Kogoro explained his' inference '.
Hey, hey!
Don't jump to conclusions so easily.
Conan complained silently in his heart.
However, he didn't have an answer now.
Conan found the script that Shimazu Kazuhiro had written.
Rather than calling it a script, it was more like a novel.
It didn't have the format of a script at all.
However, from his words … he didn't seem like someone who would kill someone.
There were no signs of forced entry.
The fruit knife used by the culprit was in this room.
The fingerprints had already been erased.
The police checked the surveillance cameras in the neighborhood, and they showed that only Shimazu Kazuhiro had been here.
However, there weren't many surveillance cameras here.
If someone had made preparations before coming here, they could have avoided those cameras.
Shimazu Kazuhiro was undoubtedly the most suspicious.
At this time, the police received a call from the telecommunications company.
They checked until 5: 50 PM today.
There was indeed a call to Chiyo Hinako.
Chiyo Hinako's words were confirmed to be true.
Then, Riisa Muroe, who had an alibi, was also cleared of suspicion.
There was only Shimazu Kazuhiro left.
The police requested to take him back to the police station for further investigation.
At this time, one of the police officers who went out to ask the residents suddenly returned.
He said that they had found a person.
He said that he saw a woman enter Mr. Kumamoto's house at around 4: 00 PM.
The man expressed his regret that he didn't see the woman's appearance clearly.
He couldn't help the police.
It was confirmed that Kumamoto Seihito was still alive at 5: 50 PM.
So, it didn't matter who went to his house at 4: 00 PM.
The police gave up on pursuing this clue.
However, Conan seriously thought about this information in his heart. He asked, "What kind of woman is it?"
Kuroba Kaito found the witness before Conan.
Then, he asked him for more details.
The witness was very enthusiastic.
He didn't hold back at all.
It was just that the words he used were slightly exaggerated.
He never wanted to wrongly accuse others.
So, after he suspected Riisa Muroe, he took the initiative to investigate this matter.
But now it seemed … Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but sigh.
Riisa Muroe was indeed the murderer this time.
Conan also caught up at this moment.
Seeing Hei Yu fighting like this, he also stopped in his tracks.
His glasses reflected the light again.
Then, when the light completely disappeared, he said in a certain tone, "You already know?
The murderer. "
"Yes." Kuroba Kaito answered him very softly.
Then, he showed the unique poker face of a thief Kidd.
"Detective, what about you?
Which one of them do you think is the real murderer of Kumamoto Seihito? "
"I will find it." Conan's face was full of confidence.
He already had a clue.
"I remember that Miss Muroe used to be an idol singer?" Kuroba Kaito suddenly asked.
"But she probably can't be considered an idol singer.
She's responsible for the lyrics, music, editing, mixing, and so on. "
After Conan heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
He looked at Hei Yu Kuai Dou, and then revealed an expression of 'I see'.
So that's what happened.
He knew.
Before he ran away, he said, "Thank you."
If that's the case … Conan quietly ran back.
Shimazu Kazuhiro had already been taken to the police car by Officer Mugo. Mōri Kogoro also walked over.
He was about to watch them leave.
But he suddenly felt something pricking his neck.
Mōri Kogoro thought it was some kind of bug, so he patted it with his hand.
But before his hand fell, he fell asleep.
He also sat on the ground shakily.
Conan hurriedly used his voice to speak.
"Wait a minute.
Officer Mugo. "
Before the police car could drive away, Officer Mugo heard Detective Mori's voice. He got out of the car without thinking. At this moment, Mōri Kogoro was already in the position of a sleeping Kogoro.
He also let Shimazu Kazuhiro get out of the car.
"Mr. Shimazu Kazuhiro is not the real murderer." Mōri Kogoro said.
"This is a clever trap designed by the real murderer."
"Brother Mori." Officer Mugo was a little confused by his words.
He was also very used to expressing his doubts to Mōri Kogoro.
"What kind of trap is it?
After 5: 50, only Shimazu had the chance to commit the crime. "
"What if Mr. Kumamoto was already dead at 5: 50?" Mōri Kogoro asked.
"Didn't we already confirm that there was a phone call at that time?" Officer Mugo said.
Mōri Kogoro continued his words. "But isn't that number very strange?
It doesn't belong to Mr. Kumamoto. "
"Probably borrowed someone else's phone or found a public phone?" Officer Mugo guessed.
He looked at Chiyo Hinako who received the phone call.
Chiyo Hinako nodded and helped him confirm. "I heard Mr. Kumamoto's voice."
"What if someone imitated his voice?" Mōri Kogoro directly gave his answer.
"Just like Strange Thief Kidd.
The murderer imitated Mr. Kumamoto's voice to call Miss Chiyo, thus creating the illusion that Mr. Kumamoto is still alive. "
"Only Strange Thief Kidd can do this, right?" Officer Mugo felt a little doubtful.
"Without any tools, perhaps only a very small number of people can do it." Mōri Kogoro continued. "But if you use tools, it's very easy.
Skilled people only need to use a computer to mix the sounds into any desired sound. "
Shirae Riisa's expression was a little puzzled.
But Conan who was behind Mōri Kogoro saw her hands unconsciously clench.
"Miss Riisa, you did sound effects, right?" Mōri Kogoro pointed out the character.
Gradually, a serious tone could be heard in his voice.
"Before you became an actress.
I think I can still find the software you used from the laptop in your bag. "
"This is the feeling of being forced into a desperate situation, right?" Shirae Riisa suddenly smiled.
She clutched her heart.
Her expression was full of excitement and joy.
"So this is the feeling of being found by the police after killing someone!
I finally know. "
Shirae Riisa's action made Officer Mugo and the other police officers stunned.
Even Conan unconsciously frowned.
"But!
I really want him to die. "She was still smiling.
"His existence only makes me feel disgusted."
Shirae Riisa never liked Makoto Kumamoto.
Their relationship was just to get Makoto Kumamoto to provide her with the opportunity to act in a movie.
This was only the second time they met, Makoto Kumamoto made this request.
