Conan: Another Famous Detective

After about fifteen minutes, the police finally arrived at the scene.

Officer Megure's mouth twitched as he looked at Akira Hanomiya, Kogoro Mori, Conan, and Sera in front of him: "With you guys here, it's not surprising that a murder occurred here, right?"

Mouri Kogoro smiled awkwardly and said, "Officer, please stop joking and focus on the case first."

Officer Memu sighed and his expression became more serious: "Okay, then please tell me the situation."

So, everyone looked at each other and told each other in detail what happened before and after the incident.

After hearing this, Officer Megure nodded slightly and said, "In other words, you have different opinions on this case now. Brother Maori thinks the murderer was in the room at the time, but Brother Hanomiya thinks everything is just an illusion arranged by the murderer. ,right?"

"Honestly, I'm almost convinced. After all, as Boy Hanomiya said, we stayed outside the door for so long and rang the doorbell. If the murderer was inside, he should have run away long ago." Maori Kogoro said hesitantly.

"I think so too!" Sera also said: "According to uncle, didn't Director Furi receive a distress message from Hota? I remember it was an hour before entering the room, right?"

Officer Megure looked at Furi Sanpei: "Mr. Furi, can you show me your mobile phone?"

"Okay." Gu Li nodded and handed the phone to Officer Megure.

Officer Memu checked: "Well... there was indeed a distress message sent at 8 o'clock."

"In other words, the time when the murderer took action was also around 8 o'clock, and there were no signs of disturbance at the scene. It shouldn't take the murderer too much time to deal with the scene. It is impossible for the murderer to wait for Hanomiya and the others to come over and then leave the scene in a hurry." Sera. road.

"Well... that does make sense." Officer Megure was almost convinced, but he also had new doubts in his heart and asked: "But, what is the sound of breaking cups and plates you heard when you came in?" ah!

"Could it have been shaken down?" Meng Yu guessed: "I remember when we came in, we heard some noises nearby, and even felt some earthquakes."

"Ah! That's the room downstairs under construction." The waiter explained.

"Is the construction taking place during a fixed time period?" Akira Hanamiya asked.

"Yes! It starts at nine o'clock every morning." The waiter replied.

"But the time can't be so accurate, right? There will be a deviation of one or two minutes, or even a few minutes." Mouri Kogoro questioned.

"No, it will start on time every day." The waiter explained: "Because some guests complained before that the construction time was one minute earlier than expected, so the operators started according to the hotel clock and started every second. Undertake construction.”

"In this case, if part of the plate is suspended in the air and placed next to the dining table, will it fall if it is shaken by the construction?" Sera murmured.

"Why don't you try it with our mobile phones?" Conan said with a smile.

Officer Memu pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Then let's try it."

After a while, a row of mobile phones was placed next to the table, with a small half of the phone hanging in the air.

"There happens to be a bottle of red wine on the table. Takagi, please knock the table with the red wine bottle to simulate a vibration." Officer Megure ordered. ,

"Yes!" Officer Takagi picked up the red wine and slammed it on the table.

boom!

Bang...

Several mobile phones were knocked to the ground, but half of them were still left on the table, including many that were very close to the red wine bottle.

"It seems there is only a 50% chance." Officer Megure said with some disappointment.

"Could it be that Officer Takagi dropped the red wine too far away?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"I just hit the place where I picked up the bottle." Officer Takagi quickly explained: "This location is very close to the mobile phone!"

"Is this so..." Yu Gongming came to the table and looked down at the table.

"Huh? This is..." Yu Gongming's eyes were fixed on a small area on the side of the table near the red wine bottle.

He turned to look at Officer Takagi: "Officer, can you show me the hand you were holding the wine bottle just now?"

"Oh! What's wrong?" Officer Takagi handed over his hand in confusion.

Akira Hanamiya turned Officer Takagi's hand over and finally found some small white particles on the side of his little finger.

"Is this salt?" Conan's voice sounded next to him.

"Salt?" Officer Takagi also looked at his hands after hearing this: "Strange, there are indeed some white particles on my hands. Did they get on them when I knocked on the table just now?"

"Huh? Why is there salt on the table?" Officer Megure asked puzzledly.

"Maybe Hotta accidentally sprinkled it with some seasoning?" Mouri Kogoro guessed casually.

"No, that's not right!" Conan suddenly said: "The salt on the table has something to do with the case! Right, Brother Hanomiya?"

Akira Hanomiya glanced at Conan, smiled and nodded: "Conan is right, the salt on the table is not only related to the case, but also very related!"

"Oh? Brother Hanomiya, what do you know?" Officer Megure asked curiously.

"I just know who the murderer is and how he committed the crime." Yu Gongming said calmly.

"Brother Hanomiya, do you know the murderer again?" Officer Megure's eyes lit up. They hadn't even finished investigating the scene. Are they about to solve the case?

"Well, let's talk about the conclusion first. This murderer..." He looked at Guli Sanpei; "It's you! Mr. Guli Sanpei!"

Guli Shenping's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and then he squeezed out a smile and said: Yu... Detective Hanomiya, what are you talking about! How could I be the murderer? I came in with you and found the body! "

"It's because you came in with us that I suspected you." Yu Gongming said calmly: "Because according to my reasoning, the murderer was not in the room at the time, and everything in the room was just a cover-up for the murderer."

“Then, the murderer went to such great lengths just to create an alibi, and discovering the body with others and making others think that [the murderer] was still in the room at the time is undoubtedly a good alibi. "

"Especially after I knew that there would be no errors in the construction time, my doubts became even more serious."

Meng Yu's eyes lit up: "So, Mr. Gu Li took so long to inform the waiter, and the last sudden call was all to arrange the time for us to enter the room!"

"That's right!" Hanemiya Akira said with a smile: "Officer, you can check Mr. Guli's mobile phone later. I think he must have set his mobile phone to ring at 8:59."

Guli Shenping was shocked and looked at Yu Gongming in horror.

"Although according to what you said, Mr. Koguri is indeed suspicious." Mouri Kogoro said: "But how can he guarantee that the plate will be shaken off by the sound of construction?"

"You also saw that only half of the phone fell to the ground just now."
