Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"What do you really mean?" Mumu, who was still discussing with Takagi, looked at Hattori blankly, "Have you unlocked the death message yet?"

"There is no need to untie it at all," Hattori explained to everyone, "Different from the code, the death message left by the president actually directly pointed out the name of the prisoner..."

"The prisoner's name?"

Uncle Mao Li snorted: "It's not like you didn't hear it just now, the names of those four people have nothing to do with toys at all."

"What if the president wants us to look at the opposite side instead of the ink-stained side of the building blocks?" Hattori said calmly according to the photos on the table, "If the president just wants to put the blocks on the ink, then What you see is the text on the opposite side, that is to say, the reverse side is the real message..."

"The reverse side?" Mu Mu took a photo, "I can't see the reverse side here, so I can only let the people from the identification department take the building blocks back..."

"No need to be so troublesome, as long as you infer from the words on the building blocks, you will know the words on the opposite side. You can also ask the police officer of the identification department to take a photo and pass it over. But if it's true, the message left by the president..."

Hattori paused, then looked at Gao Chengdao: "The message the president wanted to leave before he was killed should be Iwatomi, that is, the vice president Iwatomi Chuang!"

"Maybe this is indeed the message of the president's bloody death," Gao Cheng said calmly, "but is Mr. Yantomi really the murderer?"

"What?" Hattori didn't see other expressions on Gao Cheng's face, so he couldn't help being stunned.

"There are still many doubts in this case." Gao Cheng turned to Mu Mu who was standing aside, "Officer, can you find the four staff members who found the body? Maybe you can find some clues."

"Ah good……"

Mu Mu came back to his senses, and while ordering the police to find the four suspects, he confirmed: "In any case, the death message left by the deceased is Mr. Yantomi's name, right?"

"It should be like this." Uncle Mao Li saw the photos of the building blocks and had nothing to refute. He just looked at Gao Cheng strangely, "Kido Kido, what the hell are you doing?"

Although I don't really want to see Koshien, but Osaka kid's reasoning seems to be fine...

"As soon as you see those four people, you'll know. By the way, isn't it just right to ask the police officer from the Appraisal Section to confirm the information on the back of the building blocks?"

Gao Cheng buried his head and went to where the corpse was, squatting down.

Hattori is too concerned about the news of death, thus reducing the emphasis on the camera.

The camera that acts as a monitor, when turned on, the image is smoothly projected on the TV, and his current actions can be clearly seen. Unless the murderer is really careless or has really left the office, it is impossible not to notice when the victim left the death message back and forth movement.

If everything was deliberately arranged by the murderer, it means that the murderer did not allow the deceased to recognize his identity and gave the deceased wrong information.

"Officer Takagi," Gao Cheng asked, looking up, "Are there any other clues about those four staff?"

"This..." Takagi scratched his hair and flipped through the records, "They seem to often gather at the house of the vice president, Mr. Iwatomi, to drink and then complain about the president. On the night of June 29, when the incident happened, they were also in Iwatomi. The husband stayed at home drinking and staying overnight, and the body was not found until the next morning on the 30th when the four of them went to work together..."

"that's it?"

"And there is..."

Takagi hesitated for a moment, then continued to explain: "Although this matter has nothing to do with the case, it is just that these four people and the murdered president all have a hobby of collecting. The cruel Miss Aijia collected 50 pairs of gloves. Every time I go out Bring three pairs of fishing...

"Mr. Hasami, who was crying watching movies, has 30 pairs of sunglasses, and bought limited-edition items worn by well-known actors...

"Mr. Zhongji, who likes horse racing, is a hat. He chooses different hats according to the race schedule. It is said that there are 40 hats..."

Takagi turned a page, and continued: "Mr. Iwatomi, who often plays golf with the president, has 30 pairs of white shoes, all of which are brand-name golf shoes. He takes them out and polishes them once a week...

"The other is President Tsujitani who was killed,

He’s a crazy star-chaser, he has collected a lot of idol merchandise, and he’s not even willing to throw away the torn idol calendars…”

"That's right, there are idol photos and posters everywhere," Mu Mu said, "I'm still chasing stars at the age of 53, really..."

Gao Cheng stood up with his hands intertwined, and Hattori next to him was about to ask a question when he saw Gao Cheng call Heye and Xiaolan out of the office, feeling inexplicably agitated.

"This guy Kido..."

Hattori kept a stern face and always felt that there was a suffocation that had not started. When he saw Conan who was watching from the side, he immediately grabbed him.

"Hey, Kudo," Hattori said angrily, "Kido seems to know something already? Do you have any ideas? If this continues, I will lose to Kazuha who went to see Takarazuka..."

"You were the one who forced me here," Conan said angrily, "I don't think there's anything wrong with watching Takarazuka..."

"Idiot, you don't want to always lose to that Kido guy, do you? This time we're a perfect match!"

"Don't make decisions on your own, okay?"

Conan's mouth twitched.

"It's you, what happened today? I don't want you at all..."

"It's Kazuha," Hattori said depressedly, "I don't know why, as long as I see her smiling, I'm super upset, I can't concentrate on reasoning, whether it's yesterday or today...why?"

"Huh?" Conan blinked blankly, and asked back, "Could it be because the person who smiled with Ye Mei was someone else or another man?"

"Yes, that's it," Hattori said excitedly, "How do you know?"

"This," Conan coughed lightly, and carefully pressed Hattori's shoulder, "Hatori, you...haven't grown up yet, ha ha."

...

President Tsujitani's room, and Ye Xiaolan followed Gao Cheng suspiciously, watching Gao Cheng put on his gloves and take out a calendar.

"Although I haven't seen the four suspects yet, the matter is almost clear..."

Gao Cheng put the calendar flat on the table.

"As Hattori reasoned, President Tsujitani did leave a death message pointing out that Iwatomi was the murderer, but in fact Iwatomi wasn't the murderer?"

"Huh?" He and Ye were confused, and couldn't turn the corner, "It's the murderer... and it's not the murderer..."

"After seeing those 4 people, Hattori should be able to figure it out soon, so I want to explain it to you first, and you two can win the game later."

Gao Cheng smiled, and explained step by step: "First of all, go back to the original point, which is the murder scene we saw when we came over. Don’t you think the location of the ink is too coincidental?”

"coincide?"

"Yes, the location of the building blocks, the location where the ink is spilled, and President Tsujitani right in the middle, it's almost as if it was designed in advance..."

Gao Cheng looked at Xiao Ai who was leaning against the door, and continued: "Then there is the doubtful point. If the ink bottle was knocked over by the president and the prisoner when he was struggling with the table, why is the pen holder and other objects neat and tidy? Could it be that the prisoner sorted out other things?"

"this is……"

"There is only one explanation. The prisoner deliberately knocked over the ink to let the president leave clues."

"But," exchanged glances with Ye Xiaolan, "how could the murderer intentionally let people leave his name?"

"What if the president mistook the prisoner's identity?" Gao Cheng chuckled lightly, "What if the president didn't see the prisoner from the beginning to the end, but just mistook it for the vice president Iwatomi?"

Although this time is very different from the Mihua Art Museum incident, the murderer used some method to make the victim leave a seemingly reasonable death message.

At that time, the Mihua Art Museum wrote the name of the fake murderer on a note in advance, and then gave the victim a pen that could not be written. From the surveillance, it looked like a message left by the victim himself.

But this time, through careful arrangements, the victim was asked to write down the name of the fake murderer himself.

"The murderer's biggest mistake was not noticing that the camera was stained with blood, and then this calendar," Gao Cheng pointed out the blood on the calendar, "The crime happened at the end of June, and the June calendar was torn down in advance and put here It should be that the murderer didn't notice the blood stains on it at the time. When he found the body the next day, he couldn't throw away the calendar in front of other people. He could only find a chance to tear it off and put it in the place where the president kept the old calendar. I won't even check it carefully...

"The trace of erasing the blood on the calendar should correspond to the blood on the fur coat, so if there are no other problems, we can know the murderer's height."

"Ah?" He Yezhang looked at Gao Cheng who was explaining, "Have you...found it to this point?"

Gao Cheng slightly sweated: "So didn't you say it? It's almost confirmed..."

"But Kido-senpai," Xiaolan still didn't quite understand, "how could the president get the wrong person?"

"This point, in fact, as long as you experience the situation of President Tsujitani at that time, you can understand it."

Gao Cheng looked at the golf equipment in the room.

"The president often plays golf with the vice president. The murderer probably took advantage of this, so he wore a pair of white golf shoes collected by the vice president..."

"shoe?"

"President Tsujitani lying on the ground can only see the legs and feet of the murderer across the table..."

Gao Cheng finally said: "Generally speaking, the prisoner wore Mr. Iwatomi's white shoes, making the president mistakenly think that it was Mr. Iwatomi, and then put a camera in a corner to monitor the president, and waited for the president to leave a death message. kill him……"

"What about the evidence?" Xiaolan asked concerned, "Only the location of the bloodstain on the calendar, maybe the murderer left it on purpose to put the blame on someone..."

"That's why I want to meet the four suspects, but these are actually enough. Tell Officer Mumu about these. With the strength of the police, we can find out the truth, such as the property that the safe disappeared..."

Gao Cheng said and looked at He Ye who was stunned.

"If you are really worried, you can start to investigate from Mr. Iwatomi's collection of shoes, preferably the ones that are not often worn."
