Conan: The Master Behind the Scenes

Inside the villa.

As expected, everyone found the piano wire hidden in Takahashi Ryoichi's room. Takahashi Ryoichi was the murderer who attempted to kill Xiaolan, killed Tomizawa Yuzo, and dismembered Ikeda Chikako.

"But, but... who killed Takahashi?" Hiroki Kadaya asked in confusion, fiddling with the camera he found not far from where Takahashi Ryoichi's body was found.

"Damn! Who on earth could have designed this kind of mechanism?……"

Conan frowned, looking very serious, thinking:"The timer found near the body was set to six hours. Judging from the marks on the wrists and ankles of the deceased, it was probably caused by being tied up with ropes for a long time, and the time was also about six hours. It is now six o'clock in the morning."

"That is to say, the deceased was tied up in the woods at twelve o'clock last night. Then Shiraishi Takeshi can't be the murderer, because Xiaolan said that Shiraishi Takeshi gave her psychological treatment last night, which ended at about one o'clock. And although Shiraishi Takeshi is annoying, he is an out-and-out good person and will definitely not do such a thing!"

Conan thought so and turned his gaze to Hiroki Kadotani and Masaru Ota:"Let's not talk about whether there is someone hiding in the mountains. At present, these two people are the most suspicious!"

"Brother Ota, and Brother Kakutani, what were you two doing around 12 o'clock last night?"Conan's occupational disease has come back again.

"What do you mean, kid?

"Are you doubting the two of us?" Hiroki Kadani also looked unhappy.

""Conan! You little brat, you've watched too many detective dramas, right? Leave this matter to me, no need for you to butt in!"

Shiraishi Takeshi punched Conan again, and then stared deeply at Hiroki Kakutani and Masaru Ota.

He said,"Actually, Conan did nothing wrong. Before the real murderer is found, not only you two, but also I, are suspected of killing Takahashi Ryoichi. This is just a routine inquiry. After contacting the police, I will definitely ask you in detail!"

Then, Shiraishi Takeshi asked with a serious face,"Then, what were you two doing between 11:30 and 12:30 last night?"

"By that time, I had already fallen asleep!" Ota Katsu explained unhappily.

"I, I fell asleep at that time too!" said Hiroki Kakutani

"That is to say, none of you have an alibi!" Bai Shiwu frowned and sighed:"Let's go through the woods and go to the villa on the next mountain to contact the police!"

"Now it seems that this is the only way! There is too little evidence, and no other clues were left at the scene. If Xiaolan and the others were not girls and could not lift Takahashi Ryoichi by themselves, otherwise even the three of them would be suspected of murder!" Conan's face was full of frustration.

At this moment.

Hiroki Kadotani suddenly wondered:"Huh? I remember that the battery of the camera was still full last night, why can't it be turned on? Did I forget to turn it off when I was looking for Chikako last night, so it ran out of power?"

""Wait!!!"

Conan was shocked:"This Nisso camera, if I remember correctly, can record for about four hours. If the camera is not turned off, it can record for a whole night... That means!!!" Thinking of this, Conan said innocently:"Wow! Brother Kakutani, your camera looks like my mom's, and the battery life is super long! I used to like to secretly turn it on at night and record myself sleeping!"

"Yes, yes, kid, I spent a lot of money to buy this!" Hiroki Kadaya held the camera carefully.

"Wait a minute!"

Shiraishi Takeshi suddenly asked,"Mr. Kadoya, where did you find your camera! ?"

"Not far from where Takahashi's body was found——！！！"

Hiroki Kadaya said, his voice became excited:"It's hard, it's hard, is it possible that……"

"Yes, that's right. Maybe the true face of the murderer who brutally killed Takahashi Ryoichi was recorded in this camera!"A very appropriate and surprised expression appeared on Shiraishi Takeshi's face.

"Brother Kakutani, do you have a backup power supply? Conan asked hurriedly

"Yes, yes, there's one in my bag!"

Hiroki Kakutani said, and hurried to his room, then took out a battery and put it into the camera.

The video played back.

It was pitch black and silent.

Then, there was a rustling sound of footsteps in the distance.

The footsteps approached and finally stopped.

Not long after, a string of numbers emitting red light appeared on the dark screen - 05:59:59 - decreasing second by second, and then, a"tick-tick" sound was heard.

Finally, the sound of a lighter being turned on rang out.

On the dark screen, Takahashi Ryoichi's hands and feet were tied up and hung on a control console.

In front of him, a man in a raincoat was hazy and confused.

Shiraishi Takeshi's voice could be disguised, and it sounded so low and hoarse.

Let everyone in front of the screen tremble.

Finally, when the flame of the lighter was about to go out, the mysterious man in the raincoat turned his head, and a face appeared on the screen.

""Tai, Taita! It's you!!!" Hiroki Kadaya screamed in horror.

"No, no, no, it's not me, it must be a mistake, I, how could I be the murderer, damn it, it must be a mistake!"

Ota Katsu's face was full of���He roared in fear and reached out to grab the camera in Hiroki Kadoya's hand. He just wanted to take a closer look.

But Hiroki Kadoya didn't think so.

He quickly held the camera in his arms and stared at Ota Katsu with a nervous face.

"Kadoya, give me the camera quickly, there must be a mistake!" Ota Katsu panicked and reached out again, trying to take the camera.

But at this time,

Shiraishi Takeshi made a timely move and pressed him on the table.

That's right, when Shiraishi Takeshi decided to kill Takahashi Ryoichi, he had already decided to let Ota Katsu take the blame.

Who made him stare at Xiaolan, Sonoko, Ayako and the other two with lustful eyes and ill intentions?

The human skin mask that Shiraishi Takeshi wore last night was the appearance of Ota Katsu!
