Conan: Above force, everything is truth!

After hearing Inspector Megure's instructions, the victim's three companions hurriedly asked:

"Officer, have you investigated the people in other bands?"

"Come to think of it, Hagie does often quarrel with other bands."

"Yes... maybe it was that time that caused the grudge."

"Before, she also quarreled with the band that performed with us. Those people laughed at our former lead singer for committing suicide because of a broken voice..."

Hearing this, Officer Takagi asked: "Excuse me... who was the former lead singer who committed suicide?"

Guitarist Kifune Sumika's face was full of memories: "Her name is Shuto Akane, a girl with a beautiful voice. She taught us many singing techniques. But she knows nothing about what girls should know. Hagie taught her how to cook, and I taught her how to put on makeup and dress up..."

After listening to the memories of the three people, Sera Masumi said: "Can you show us the practice video you took in the recording studio?"

Hearing this, keyboardist Komu Rumi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and showed the practice video to everyone.

After watching the video, the corners of Sera Masumi and Amuro Toru's mouths curled up.

Through this video, they have basically locked the criminal.

Seeing the confident expressions of the two, Ryuno shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, when he found out that the victim was strangled to death, his first reaction was that the murder weapon chosen by the criminal was the strings.

After all, the guitar mastery skill he just exchanged just happened to include the "various" ways to use the strings.

But as Ryuno observed the strangulation marks on the victim's neck in depth, he finally denied this possibility.

The strangulation marks on the victim's neck were not caused by the strings.

Compared with the strings, the strangulation marks are more like those caused by thinner ropes.

In addition, Inspector Megure and others did not find the murder weapon in the store, so there are only two most likely situations at present.

Either the murder weapon is still on these three people-just like the case that happened when they took a plane to Los Angeles last time, the murder weapon is actually part of the "clothing" and has been worn by the criminal.

Or the murder weapon is actually on the victim - that is, the so-called dark under the lamp.

After all, the criminal is not like him, he does not have a system backpack and steel pipe space, and the murder weapon can never disappear out of thin air.

The suspect is easier to say. First of all, it is certain that he has nothing to do with the guest who just left the store.

This... Isn't this a classic three-choice link? The murderer must be among the three companions of the victim.

Although the three of them have so-called "proofs" to prove that they did not have time to kill when they entered the recording.

But as long as you think about it a little, you can find the flaws:

-'Bassist' Yuiko Fuegawa is sewing buttons and sleeves in the recording studio.

'Guitarist' Mufune Ranhua is changing strings and tuning in the recording studio.

'Keyboardist' Xiaomu Liuhai is modifying the music score in the recording studio.

Among these three people, only one person's "proof" is untenable.

They heard the conversation between several people in the lounge before. Whether it is sewing clothes or changing guitar strings, it is an "emergency" and it is difficult to prepare in advance.

The only thing that can be prepared in advance is to modify the music score.

Only keyboard player Xiao Mu Ruhai can modify the music score in advance.

…

After a while, Officer Takagi finished the call and returned to Inspector Megure.

"How is it, Takagi, have all those people been found?"

"Two or three of them cannot be contacted..."

Without waiting for Inspector Megure to make the next instruction, Sera Masumi stepped forward and interrupted: "There is no need for that, because the murderer has not escaped from here~"

"What?!" Inspector Megure said in surprise.

"Yes, the murderer is among the three band members of the victim!" Amuro Toru put one hand in his pocket and nodded.

Hearing this, Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi immediately turned their heads to look at the three people sitting aside.

After noticing everyone's gaze, the three of them immediately stood up and walked in front of Inspector Megure and the other two, and excitedly explained:

"What are you talking about? How could we be the criminals?!"

"Yes! Didn't we just search our bodies? We don't have any rope-shaped weapons on us, right?!"

"You won't suspect us just because of the speculation of those two people?"

"Since we don't have any weapons on us, and no weapons were found in the recording store, then aren't we innocent?!"

"..."

Although Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi also suspected these three people, as these three people said, they haven't even found the weapons yet, and there is no evidence to prove it.

For a moment, Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi almost couldn't hold on, and they immediately turned their heads to look at Masumi Sera and Toru Amuro for help.

"The weapons can't be in theIt was found in the store because it had been taken out of the store. "Amuro Toru chuckled.

Hearing this, the three of them started arguing again - since they had never left the store, how could they have taken the murder weapon out.

Seeing this, Sera Masumi on the side added: "He means that the person who took the murder weapon out was not you, but the police!"

After hearing Sera Masumi's words, not only the three suspects, but even Inspector Megure and others blinked in confusion.

Sonoko turned her head to look at Tatsuno and frowned, "What does Sera mean? What do you mean the murder weapon was taken away by the police?"

Ran also looked at Tatsuno, her eyes full of confusion.

"Because the murder weapon is on the victim." Tatsuno said lightly.

"Ah? "Tatsuno's explanation made Xiaolan and Sonoko even more confused.

Although the three people's conversation was very quiet, the space in the lounge was not large, and Inspector Megure and others could hear it clearly.

Amuro Toru and Sera Masumi raised their lips slightly and nodded secretly.

Sure enough, Tatsuno has also discovered the truth.

"Brother Tatsuno, the murder weapon is on the victim? But she doesn't have any rope-like objects on her body?" Inspector Megure asked in confusion.

"I remember that the victim, Miss Yamaji, wore a woolen hat on her head, right?" Tatsuno recalled.

"Woolen hat..."

Sera Masumi nodded with a smile: "Yes, the so-called thin rope should have been woven and integrated into the woolen hat~"

"The murderer prepared wool of the same color as the woolen hat worn by the victim in advance, and then strangled the victim with the woolen yarn, and finally wove the 'murder weapon' into the woolen hat. "

After listening to Masumi Sera's explanation, Officer Takagi also asked, "But if you want to knit wool, don't you need two things called 'knitting needles'? But none of the three of them have such things with them."

"Aren't the so-called 'knitting needles' still at the scene?" Amuro Toru replied, "They are the two drumsticks that the victim used to play drums."

"Drumsticks?"

"Yes, with a little use, those two drumsticks can be turned into knitting needles to help them knit wool."
