Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1690 Core Techniques

"What!"

At this moment, after hearing Takato say that the murderer was Asabuki Kei, Osuga Yui put aside the clothes on her body and took a step forward, questioningly as if she wanted to ask Takato what he meant.

At this time, as far as Asabuki Ken himself was concerned, after hearing these words, he just smiled slightly casually, as if he didn't take Gao Yuan's accusation to heart at all.

In this regard, there was no need for anyone else to ask questions in return. After hearing what Gao Yuan said, Officer Megu couldn't help but ask:

"But, Akechi-san... Although according to the order of appearance, after all the members of the orchestra appeared on stage, Asabuki Akira came on last. But, the problem is, even if he came on stage later, it would still be at 7:15 It’s on stage, but Kusuda didn’t enter the theater until about half past seven. In this case, no matter what, Asabuki Akira wouldn’t have time to commit the crime!”

"That's right! That's right! Mr. Mingzhi, don't get the most basic question wrong!"

At the same time, Yuanzi also echoed.

Moreover, after Officer Megure said this, the rest of the audience present also stood on the side of Asabuki Akira, and there was a lot of discussion about Gao Yuan's current approach of accusing Asabuki Akira.

But this had no impact on Gao Yuan. He continued calmly and confidently:

"Officer Megure, this is actually very easy to explain——

"Because Asabuki's so-called alibi is actually unreliable...or, to put it another way, there is something wrong with Kusuda Rikuyou's judgment that he only came to the theater around 7:30. "

Having said this, Gao Yuan looked at Asabuki Akira meaningfully, and seeing that he still looked confident, Gao Yuan did not pause much and continued:

"Officer Megure, haven't you realized yet? From the beginning of the investigation until now, except for the name on the sign-in book and the body that appeared at the crime scene, no one has ever seen Kusuda Rikuyou appear in the theater ?

"In other words, the basis for us to conclude that Kusuda Rikuyou arrived at the theater around 7:30 is just a signature on a sign-in book with his name, and the person who was in charge of the sign-in book at that time Personnel——Ms. Shigeno Haruna, it can be said that her mind is not on receiving guests at all, so she has never seen Kusuda Rikuo himself sign on the sign-in book, right?"

With that said, Takato focused his attention on Miss Shigeno Haruna who was standing not far away from Asabuki as he wanted to get as close as possible——

For a moment, when this person was mentioned, Officer Megure and Osuka Shuhei were both deeply impressed by her, because it was the receptionist's absence from duty that made the matter of when Kusuda Rikuyou arrived at the theater now so unclear. Difficult to determine.

At this moment, when everyone's attention was focused on Shigeno Haruna because of Gao Yuan's words, they felt the pressure invisibly, so they couldn't help but feel a little scared and backed away towards Asabuki Akira.

In this way, before anyone else could ask, faced with such a situation, Asabuki Akira chose to stand up, as if to share the pressure for Shigeno Haruna, stepped forward to face Gao Yuan, and said with a proud smile:

"Haha, I understand what you mean. You just want to say that someone forged Kusuda's signature and misled everyone about the time when he entered the theater, right? In this case, the handwriting appraisal..."

"That's not necessary, because that handwriting definitely came from Kusuda Rikuyou himself."

Seeing Asabuki Akira finally taking the initiative to talk, Gao Yuan responded with a smile.

And such a reaction made Asabuki Hideo, Officer Megure and others all confused——

After all, if the handwriting is genuine, doesn’t that mean...

"The handwriting is real, and that's why I can deceive everyone."

Takato said with a smile, and then faced Shigeno Haruna again. After all, the topic just now was about her——

"However, in order to explain things better, Miss Shigeno Haruna, I need to ask you for confirmation on a question. There are three sign-in books at the door, among which——

"The first book was full of people's names, but when it came to the second book, there were four or five blank sheets of paper at the end with no signatures. Finally, when it came to the third book, there were only the first few pages signed and no new guests. Are you there?

"Then, I want to ask you, is there any deliberate arrangement for you to do this——

"For example, someone told you that in order to distinguish late guests, wait until the performance starts at seven o'clock, then change to a new sign-in book for guests to sign, so that you can distinguish which guests are late."

"is that so?"

Although he still didn't understand Takato's intention, Officer Megure couldn't help but ask about Shigeno Haruna.

When she heard this, Shigeno Haruna looked startled. At the same time, facing the serious gaze of Officer Megure, she wanted to look towards Asabuki Akira with some trembling, but she saw Osuka's only solemn face. Looking at her expression, the woman could only say nervously in the end:

"Yes... yes. Officer, you should also know Mr. Asabuki's character... He is a perfectionist, and he usually has a strict attitude towards himself, the members of the orchestra, and even the audience. Therefore, for such an important concert as today, he was very dissatisfied with the audience members who had clearly received VIP tickets but were late. Therefore, Mr. Guests are recorded individually in a sign-in book to distinguish those who are late..."

Having said that, the girl who admired Asabuki Xian did not seem to feel that there was anything wrong with telling the matter, but after all, at this point, Gao Yuan was already infinitely close to the truth of the matter, and there was no point in hiding it. What's more, in this situation, she really couldn't stand the look from the police.

At this point, after seeing Shigeno Haruna say "I'll ask her for it", Asabuki looked at Takato with a slightly serious look. After all, he had even guessed this situation. So obviously, this person's analysis——

it's not finished yet……

"So, Officer Megure, the situation is obvious now. The sign-in book with Kusuda Rikuyo's name was placed there specifically to record late guests. That's why we think that Kusuda Rikuyo is Belonging to those who are late..."

At this time, Gao Yuan began to continue:

"But, Officer Megure, please pay attention to this sign-in book. If you rotate the metal part of the binding, you can easily replace the inner pages. In this way, in a sign-in book specifically for recording latecomers, Wouldn't it be easy to create the illusion that the signer is a latecomer by adding a page that has been signed by someone else and sandwiching it?

At this moment, Gao Yuan pointed out the core conspiracy method of this matter...
