Hearing this, Yu Gongming looked at the three of them: "Are you all victims of fraud?"

"Yes." Ms. Hirukawa nodded.

"So, have you met the deceased?" Officer Megure asked.

"Yes, I have been to his room before." Ms. Hirukawa said: "He burst into tears and said he was willing to admit guilt and apologize, but let us wait for him for a while to let him wake up from his drunken state."

"We just wanted to record his confession, so these two people and I planned to go to a nearby electrical appliance store to buy recording equipment."

"Unexpectedly, when we were all sitting in my car and halfway backing up, he suddenly fell off and landed in front of us!"

Officer Megure fell into deep thought.

Officer Takagi came over and whispered in his ear: "Officer, could it be that someone tied a rope or something like that to the car, and the other end tied the deceased..."

Officer Megure's eyes narrowed, he nodded slightly, looked at Ms. Hirukawa and asked, "Excuse me, after the incident, did anyone touch your car?"

"I don't think so." Conan said: "At that time, Brother Hanomiya had asked Xiaolan and Sister Yuanzi to monitor this place together with the guards."

"Yes! I kept an eye on the car, and no one approached Ms. Hirukawa's car." Xiaolan confirmed.

Officer Megure frowned: "The figure Ms. Hirukawa saw before..."

"Is it possible that I saw that coat as a human figure?" Ms. Hirukawa said.

Officer Megure groped his chin: "This is strange. According to the investigation by Hanomiya and the forensic personnel, there are no traces left on the rooftop balcony. So how did the murderer push Mr. Kamizumi down?"

"Officer, you have fallen into a misunderstanding here." Yu Gongming said with a smile: "Since the murderer put those shoes and coat up there, how can you be sure that the place where the murderer pushed the deceased down must be on the roof of the building?"

"Huh?" Officer Megure's eyes widened: "Could it be that... the crime scene was not on the roof of the building?"

"I'm afraid that's true!" Sera on the side said calmly: "Speaking of which, I noticed something strange before. When I was waiting for the elevator to come down, the elevator stopped for a moment on both the second and sixth floors. "

Officer Memu was startled and asked quickly: "When did this happen?"

Sera replied: "This is what happened after the deceased's fall caused a commotion, and Detective Hanomiya and the others rushed to the top of the building. When the elevator went up, it went straight to the top of the building, but there was a pause when it came down."

Officer Megure looked puzzled: "I remember there seemed to be two elevators."

Officer Takagi explained: "Only one can actually be used, the hotel said, because there is only one tenant in the whole building, Mr. Kamizumi."

Officer Memu's expression condensed slightly: "In other words, it is very likely that there are other people hiding in this annex!"

Officer Takagi nodded slightly: "Yes, the investigators are searching carefully in the annex, but nothing has been found so far."

"What about the other surveillance videos?" Conan asked: "I remember that surveillance cameras are installed in the elevators and corridors of the Aipido Hotel."

Officer Takagi showed a hint of helplessness: "Because Mr. Kamizumi lost control of his mood before and sprayed everywhere in the annex with a spray paint can. All the surveillance cameras were covered, and all he could see was pitch black."

"Hmph! That murderer really found a good place to strike!" Yu Gongming sneered.

"Yeah, leave the whole building alone like a black box..." Shiliang thought to himself, turning his eyes to Conan who was also deep in thought. He suddenly reached out and rubbed Conan's head: "How are you, little brother? Isn’t it more exciting?”

Officer Megure glared at Sera with some dissatisfaction: "You'd better be careful what you say, this is a matter of life and death!"

Shiliang was stunned when he heard this, and then said awkwardly: "I'm sorry..."

Seeing this, Officer Memu said nothing more and turned to look at the annex: "It seems that we have to go to the sixth and second floors where the elevator stops."

Just when Officer Megure was about to leave, a whisper suddenly came from his ears:

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Ms. Zhou Chuan and the three of them gathering together and muttering something.

"So it must be that way!" the middle-aged man said with certainty.

"But, even if you tell the police about this, it will be useless, right?" Ms. Hirukawa shook her head.

"I think it's better to tell them." Fat women have different opinions.

Officer Memu stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Several people were shocked when they heard the sound. When they saw that it was Officer Memu, their expressions were a little unnatural.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while and finally spoke: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just a rumor."

The fat woman said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "I heard that there is something like that in this villa!"

"That kind of thing?" Officer Megure was confused.

"It's a ghost!" The fat woman suddenly raised her voice, startling Officer Mumu.

The middle-aged man added with a horrified look on his face: "I heard that someone saw an old man's wheelchair in the middle of the night. There was no one sitting on it, but he was sliding around alone in the annex!"

"Wow!" Yuanzi was immediately frightened and hugged Xiaolan, and Xiaolan's face instinctively showed a trace of fear.

The fat woman seemed to be affected by Sonoko's scream, and her expression became more and more frightened: "Maybe it was the ghost who pressed the elevator button!"

Officer Megure had a dark look on his face: "I said, if there is no one sitting in the wheelchair, why do you think it is an elderly wheelchair?"

"It's because of my father's relationship." Ms. Hirukawa said: "The victim of one of the frauds was my mother. She was admitted to the hospital because she couldn't bear the blow."

"After that, my father also moved into this villa. Every day he used a wheelchair to knock on the door of Mr. Kamizumi's room and said, 'I don't ask you to pay back the money, but please go to my wife and apologize to her in person.' "

"However, after learning that my mother had passed away in the hospital, my father committed suicide in his room that night."

"Due to his limited mobility, my father always used the wheelchair provided by the hotel to move around, so there were rumors like that after his death."

Officer Megure frowned: "Then which room did your father live in?"

"It's a room on the second floor." Ms. Hirukawa replied.

"Okay, let's go to the second floor first!" Officer Memu said immediately.

After a while, everyone took the elevator to the second floor.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, subtle changes appeared in everyone's expressions.

I saw that the walls around the corridor were covered with red and green graffiti, and these graffiti were all disorganized and devoid of any aesthetic feeling.

"It seems that the annex needs to be renovated is not an excuse at all!" Meng Yu sighed.

Under the leadership of Ms. Hirukawa, everyone came to the room where her father lived before his death.
