Are you Senichi Shii? The man with coral hair barged into the camera and asked.
yes. The man who was asked, Shii Shouta, answered.
I'm a police officer from Saitama Prefecture. My name is Heng Gou. I would like to ask you about Mr. Imatake Imatake's case. The man took out his police badge from his pocket and showed it.
Did something happen to Jinzhu? Shii Genichi turned his head and asked Henggou.
He had been killed, Heng Gou said in a voice they could hear.
In the hotel room you were staying in with him. Heng Gou continued.
At this time, Conan, Maori, and the others who heard the news revealed a surprised expression.
So please come with us. Henggou said to Shisui Shouichi.
Hi. Shijing Shenda answered and looked at the horizontal ditch that had turned around. Shijing Xuanyi wasn't the only one following Heng Gou. Mao Li and the others followed him as well.
Henggou also noticed Maori and the others and thought they were Senichi Sakai's friends. Therefore, he didn't say anything and tacitly allowed them to follow.
The few of them arrived at the scene and entered the door. Along with them were Shii Senichi, Maori, and the others.
The murder weapon was a pistol, and the time of the crime was two or three minutes past eight in the evening. The murderer was a young man. After the murder, he escaped from this room. It should be correct, right? Heng Gou asked the witness outside the door.
Yes, exactly. At that time, the TV had just started broadcasting the ceremony. the witness replied.
Well, the bullet went through his head and killed him on the spot. Mao Li squatted beside the victim and looked at him.
Hey, who are you? Don't touch the scene. Heng Gou walked over and called out to Mao Li.
I'm sorry, me? I'm a detective. Mao Li stood up and looked sideways at Heng Gou. seems. This is more imposing?
If I'm not wrong, you're... You're the famous detective, Mr. Kogoro Maori. Heng Gou seemed to have thought of something and walked in front of Mao Li.
uh... Hi. Kogoro is me. Mao Li took a step back. It seemed that this policeman had a stronger temperament.
hmm. Xiaobai turned to look at Shisui.
What's wrong? Xiaobai. Bu Mei asked Mao Libai.
Heh, it's fine. Mao Libai smiled.
That person seemed surprised when he heard Uncle Mao Li's name. It seemed that the murderer was this person. Mao Libai thought as he walked towards the victim.
The victim's eyes were open, and there was a little foam in his mouth. There was a hole in his forehead, which was obviously the masterpiece of a bullet.
It seemed that this room was disguised as a robbery. Mao Libai looked around.
Conan, are you okay? At this time, Conan was lying on the side, and Bu Mei and the others also ran over.
Seriously, this kid has always been like this. Mao Li stood up.
Ah, I'm fine. Conan stood up and dusted himself off.
Conan, did you find something? Genta whispered.
Well, judging from the scene, this was a robbery case. The victim was shot while brushing his teeth, but... Conan held his chin.
But what? Bu Mei asked.
It was also possible that the murderer deliberately arranged it like this, and that person was very likely to be someone familiar to the victim. For example, the one behind us. Right? Conan Xiaobai said from the side.
hmm. Conan was surprised to hear what Xiaobai said.
Don't joke around. The murder happened around eight o'clock. I have a complete alibi, because at this time, I have already gone to watch the celebration of the first night in the world. At this time, Shijing Xuanyi said to Henggou and the others.
You met Mori-san there, right? Then, Shii Senichi turned his head and said to Maori.
Yes, but I think I met you in the second half of the ceremony. Mao Li said as he held his chin.
Really, I was already there from the beginning. If you think I'm lying, just get this developed. The camera should have recorded my alibi. Shijing Xuanyi took out a camera and handed it to Henggou.
Alright, I'll wash it right away. Heng Gou took the camera and handed it to the police officer.
However, why was he so confident? Conan looked at Senichi Shii, then held his chin and thought.
Well, don't think too much. Since he said he had an alibi, let's take a look at his alibi. Xiaobai looked at Conan, who was thinking.
Yeah, Conan. It was useless to think about it now. Maybe she could find something from the photos he took. Mitsuhiko whispered to Conan.
Well, that was the only way. Conan gave up thinking and waited for the photo to be developed.
Officer Henggou, the photo has been washed. A police officer handed seven photos to Heng Gou.
hmm. Heng Gou took the photos and gave a few to Mao Li.
However, these photos weren't an alibi. Heng Gou said as he looked at the photo in his hand.
This is the photo I took. Look, Conan's balloon is also in the photo. Xiao Lan walked over and took out a photo as she explained to Heng Gou.
In the photo, there was a bust of Senichi Sakai, and there was a balloon that hadn't fully entered the camera.
Right, this happened to be the one who met Shii-san at the beginning of the burning. Xiao Lan took the photo and looked at it.
but. The word 'one' started burning after 8:40, and the crime was committed around 8:20, if the car drove there. It takes 40 minutes from the hotel to the venue. Heng Gou muttered to himself.
Officer Henggou, the first sign of heaven started to burn at eight o'clock, right? When would it burn to the next word? Mao Li seemed to have discovered something and asked Heng Gou.
This…until around 8:25. Heng Gou looked at Mao Li and replied.
Please take a good look at this picture. Mao Li took out a photo from his hand.
In the photo, Senichi Shii made a 'V' gesture, and the word 'Heaven' behind him was completely ignited.
He had already arrived at the venue of the First Night Festival before 8:25 pm. Mao Li said as he pointed the photo at Heng Gou and the others.
The time of the crime was eight o'clock. No matter what, he drove there. I think if we start from this restaurant. There wasn't enough time. Maori said as he walked, then looked at Shii Shouichi.
That was only natural. Shijing Xuan said to Mao Li with his hands in his pockets.
But don't you think he took this photo on purpose? Maybe multiple exposure, if you're good at photography. Maybe... Heng Gou said as he looked at the photo.
Hey, hey, I just handed the camera to you guys to develop. And it was one of those point-and-shoot cameras. It was impossible for him to do such a thing. Shii Senichi replied.
You were the one who developed the photos, weren't you? Heng Gou turned around and faced the police officer who had just handed him the photo.
Yes, be it the camera or the photos, there were no traces of processing. The police officer saluted and replied.
great. great. Officer Henggou, I'm sure you're aware of the fact that he's at the ceremony. Mao Li said to Heng Gou.
But the person at the counter told me that Mr. Shii left at around 7:30 and confirmed the time with him several times. The staff at the counter had a rather deep impression. Heng Gou turned around and said to Mao Li.
That's because I have to catch up with the burning time of the sky no matter what, but I forgot to wear my watch today. so... Sakai Senichi said as he extended his left hand.
Everything you do seems to be connected, it's almost like you're creating an alibi. At this time, Henggou turned around and looked at Shijing Shouichi.
Hey, don't talk nonsense. Please don't waste your time on such meaningless things. Please hurry up and work hard. Hurry up and find the real suspect who killed my good friend. Shijing Xuanyi walked to the front of the horizontal ditch, stretched his head out a few meters away from the horizontal ditch, and then said to him.
hmm. Henggou looked at Shii Senichi as if he was suspicious of him.
Teacher Imazu, yes. Where's the teacher? At this moment, a person ran in and shouted into the room. Then, he walked into the room and asked.
Mr. Kintake's body has been transferred to the office. By the way, who are you? Heng Gou answered the person who came in. Then he thought of something and asked about the identity of the person in front of him.
I'm a reporter from Yuexing Art Era. My name is Yamada. I came here as soon as I received the notice from the police. The man replied.
As expected, the teacher was still…The man lowered his head and said.
If it was the literary era, Shintakeshi…Maori thought of something and asked.
Yes, Sei Senichi, who had previously published the Legend of the Sword, answered.
If I'm not wrong, you must be Sensei Shii. Yamada, who was standing at the side, heard Senichi's answer and looked at him.
Yes, I once heard Jinzhu mention that his novel is about to be published. However, she had not started writing yet. Shijing Shouta said as he held his chin.
Yes, Teacher Jinzhu's deadline is tomorrow. The man said loudly.
Oh no, it was too late to ask the other teachers now. I can't find any works that are comparable to my teacher's writing style at the moment. This is so annoying. Yamada rubbed his forehead with his right hand and said helplessly.
He had no choice…Shijing Genichi was walking beside the bed, flipping through something.
Take it. Then, he took out the bound paper.
This? Yamada was puzzled.
I wanted to show it to Jinzhu. That's why I brought it over today. I don't know if it can be connected with Jinzhu's works. Shijing Shouichi said as he walked.
No, you used to work with Teacher Imatake, if it's your work. The colleagues in the editorial department would definitely be convinced. He saw Yamada holding the bound paper. Or maybe a manuscript? Or perhaps…Works?
Hey, Conan, don't you think it's strange? Xiaobai nudged Conan.
What? What's wrong? Conan looked at Xiaobai.
That person seemed to have known where the manuscript was when he was looking for it. If it was a robbery, then he should not know if the work would still be there. Most importantly, when that person was shot, it was impossible for him to make such a mess in such a short time. Xiaobai said as she looked at Shisui Shouichi who was not far away.
Well, you're right. Conan said as he held his chin.
Here, Conan. Xiaobai. This is the photo I stole from the table. Genta and the others walked over and handed over the photos in their hands.
uh... Conan took the photo and looked at it.
Conan, have you ever played Find the Different? Mao Libai laughed softly.
Find a difference? Conan was puzzled.
Well, it was two almost identical character backgrounds. However, there was a department or a few places that were different. Xiaobai smiled with both hands in her pockets.
hmm. Bu Mei and the others also looked at the photo.
Ah, this…Ayumi pointed at one of the photos.
This is…Conan stared at the photo, then looked at the smiling Mao Libai.
Hehe, don't look at me. actually... I just remembered it when I saw this photo. Moreover, he had played the game of finding differences with others before. Xiaobai smiled and replied.
Conan Genta and the others looked at Conan.
Damn it, although the case was solved. However, these little ghosts were all here. It seemed that this was the only way. Conan thought as he looked at Genta and the others beside him.
Hey, Uncle Mao Li. This photo is so strange. Conan shouted loudly as he held the photo.
What? Kid, who told you to take the photos? Mao Li walked over and snatched the photo from Conan's hand.
But Uncle Mao Li, the picture you took is so strange. Conan smiled with his hands over his head.
Yes, Uncle Mao Li, take a closer look. Genta and the others echoed from the side.
Hmph, you little brats. Mao Li heard a few kids agree and looked at the photo.
Well, this is…Mao Li took the photo on the left and looked at it, then at another photo.
Officer, I think you saw it. I'm very busy. At this time, Shijing Xuanyi said to Henggou.
Wait a minute. Heng Gou and Mao Li shouted at the same time.
What? Mr. Mao Li. Heng Gou looked at Mao Li in confusion.
I've solved this case completely, Officer Henggou. Mao Li smiled and walked in the direction of the ditch.
Is that so? Mr. Mao Li. Henggou immediately let go of Shijing Xuanyi's hand and looked at Maori in surprise.
Yes, pretend to be a robber and kill people. In fact, it was an acquaintance who committed the crime. The so-called alibi was specially filmed and all of this was done. The murderer is you, Shii-san. Mao Li pointed his right index finger at Shii Shūichi.
Mr. Maori, so you've already solved it? Heng Gou looked at Mao Li and asked,
Yes, everything was solved. Mao Li smiled with his eyes closed.
Mr. Maori, can you explain in detail? Heng Gou looked at Mao Li and said.
First, there was the issue of the robbery. I think Officer Henggou saw it too. The victim was brushing his teeth before he died, and the toothbrush was also dropped near him. In other words, the victim was brushing his teeth before he was shot. Mao Li said as he looked at Shijing Senichi.
What are you talking about? Everyone knows how to brush their teeth. Isn't it? At this moment, Shii Shouichi said.
Yes, Mr. Maori. Heng Gou echoed.
That's right, but holding a toothbrush with toothpaste in his mouth and opening the door to welcome someone he didn't know, this kind of thing shouldn't happen. Mao Li put one hand in his pocket and looked at Shijing Xuanyi.
And the most important point was that if it was a robbery, it was the problem of this room. Mao Li said as he walked around.
The murderer ran away immediately after the gunshot. Do you think it's possible for the robbers to make such a mess in such a short time? Mao Li looked at the surprised Shijing Shouichi.
I'm afraid that's what the murderer did before he killed the victim, mainly to make it look like a robbery. Mao Li continued his deduction.
Hehehe, I see. According to the situation at the scene, all of them are evidence against me. But I have an alibi, the alibi you have. What do you want to say? Shijing Xuanyi smiled and pointed at the photo in Mao Li's hand.
Hehe, are you trying to say that this is ridiculous evidence? I think. These are the photos you took when you came to this festival, right? It should be kept intact. Until today's ceremony, I unintentionally let Xiao Lan continue to take a second photo for you. Although it was a rather simple scheme, because you were wearing the same clothes, there was no difference from the photo taken today. Mao Li said as he thought.
That's right, that's why that uncle didn't take off his clothes even though it was so hot. Ayumi seemed to have thought of something and said loudly.
Yeah, we were still discussing why this uncle didn't take off his clothes in such a hot weather. Genta echoed from the side.
Yes, you didn't take off your coat because you didn't want to look different in the photo. Mao Li looked at Ayumi and the others, then turned to look at Shii Shouichi.
Ha ha ha, you have a very rich imagination, Detective Maori. Shii Shoutou laughed loudly.
But may I ask you, how do you prove that the photo was taken at an old festival? Shii Shouichi questioned Maori loudly.
Uncle, we found out. At this moment, Genta and the others ran to Mao Li's side.
What? What was that? Shii Shoichi looked at Genta and the others in confusion.
In the picture, you made a 'V' gesture. There is a difference between the picture and today when uncle said that the watch was broken. Mitsuhiko stretched out his right index finger and shook it left and right.
Well, is that so? Mr. Mao Li. Heng Gou walked over.
Yes, that was indeed the case. In the photo with the word " Heaven " on it, his wrist was completely black. However, when he said that he wasn't wearing his watch. The skin on his wrist was exposed, and there were traces of him wearing a watch. It was white. Mao Li handed the photo to Heng Gou.
Oh, I see. Heng Gou looked at the photo and said in surprise.
So, this so-called alibi photo. Actually, you took it a year ago, am I right? Mr. Shii. Mao Li said as he walked towards Shii Senichi.
I give up, Mr. Maori. Shii Senichi looked at Mao Li, who was only a step away from him, and said.
A year ago, I decided to kill Satoshi Imatake. Because I want to replace him at the top of the literary world. Shii Shouichi said loudly.
That's right. A year ago, the theme of the Art Era had already decided to publish my work, but the editorial department suddenly changed. He insisted on using the work of Imazu, who had been inserted midway, because Imazu was more famous. Shii Shouichi said in a low voice.
To me, that serial was my last chance to gamble with my life. However, that guy stole my chance as if he was mocking me. So I killed him. Shii Shenda forced his eyes and admitted his crime.
Was that why they killed him? How pathetic. You know, because of this. You gave up your last chance. Maori looked at the handcuffed Shii Shūichi.
So what if his fame was not as resounding as that of Kunatake's? So what if he stood at the top of the literary world? To you, are those works just something you use to welcome fame? Mao Li said loudly to Shii Shouichi.
uh... Shii Shoichi was shocked, but he lowered his head and did not refute.
Miss, the work that Imatake received as a reward was actually a story that I came up with together with Satoshi Imatake when we were working together. Now that I've become like this, no one will believe me, right? When Shii Senichi was brought out, he said this with his back facing him.
Also, Mr. Mao Li, you are right. Perhaps I was too obsessed with my reputation, which caused this to happen. When Shii was led out by the police officers to make a turn. He seemed to have thought of something and turned around, saying to Mao Li. Then, she bent down and bowed to him. In the end, he was taken away by the police.
Mr. Maori, you are indeed a good inference. Henggou looked at Shisui Xuanichi being taken away and patted Maori's shoulder.
Hahaha, this case is very simple for me. Ha ha ha. Mao Li and Heng Gou burst into laughter.
Really, we are the ones who solve the problem. Genta looked unhappily at the laughing Henggou and Maori.
Yeah, we were involved. But all the credit had been taken away by the uncle. Mitsuhiko echoed from the side.
Now, stop complaining. Now that the matter has been settled, let's continue to play. Xiaobai said from the side.
You're right. Let's go then. Genta thought about it. He also echoed.
Hey, you just said that. Don't tell me he's trying to send them away. Conan looked at Genta and the others who were walking out of the door and asked Little White beside him.
Do you want to stay here and watch Uncle Mao Li laugh? Besides, if he didn't say that. They would probably be bored about this for a long time. Xiao Bai said as he walked towards Xiao Lan.
Sister Lan, let's go out. Mao Libai, who was standing in front of Xiao Lan, said to her.
hmm. Xiao Lan looked at Mao Li who was still chatting happily with Heng Gou and nodded.
Dad, I'll take Conan and the others out first. Xiao Lan said to Mao Li who was still talking to Heng Gou.
Go, go, come back early tonight. Mao Li waved his hand and said to Xiao Lan.
Father is really…Xiao Lan, who was playing with Conan and the others outside, muttered to herself gloomily.
Xiaobai, how did you find out? Conan watched Genta and the others run to a stall and asked Little White beside him.
When Uncle Maori admitted that he was Maori Kogoro, I saw his surprised expression. So I was wondering if he had any problems. Xiao Bai put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently.
Oh, really? Conan thought as he held his chin.
Hehe, don't look down on me. I've read Sherlock Holmes by Conan Doyle. Xiaobai said from the side.
Really? Have you seen it? Conan said loudly to Xiaobai.
Conan, what's wrong? At this moment. Because of Conan's loud voice, Genta and the others also ran over.
Xiaobai said he liked Sherlock Holmes by Conan Doyle. Conan said to Genta and the others.
oh. Is that so? Conan and Xiaobai actually like Sherlock Holmes too. Xiao Lan bent down and looked at Conan.
Well, I do occasionally. Xiaobai smiled.
Well, you two are just like Shinichi, you both like Sherlock Holmes. Speaking of which... Shinichi hasn't called for a long time. Xiao Lan said. Then, he raised his head and muttered to himself.
Oh, no, because I'm getting carried away talking about Holmes. Conan looked at Lan's expression and thought to himself.
Wow, that mask looks so good. Sister Lan, let's go over and take a look. Conan was acting cute as he pulled Xiaolan's hand and ran towards the stall.
Yeah, this is not bad either. Genta and the others also took their masks and said.
Does Xiaobai like Sherlock Holmes? Bu Mei looked at Xiao Bai's back and thought to herself.
Just like that, with laughter, the case ended. Not long after playing. Lan brought Conan and the others back to the hotel.
And Uncle Mao Li, when Conan and the others entered the door. She realized that he had already fallen asleep.
The few of them had also taken a shower and lay on the bed. The day ended just like that.
