Police Chief Megami frowned when he heard their answers. "Wait, Miss Guizi asked for leave? Does this mean that Sakura-san is the only one working in this huge salon?”
Sakura-san answered matter-of-factly,"Recently, business has been relatively quiet. The manager and I can handle it.”
Detective Takagi went to the restaurant to confirm that Sakurako was indeed eating out at the time of the crime. She also had an alibi, so the only suspect was Miss Keiko, who was on leave.
Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Miss Keiko said nervously,"Why are you looking at me like that? I have an alibi too! Although I was alone at home, I was a female streamer. I was doing a live video broadcast at that time. There were more than a thousand people watching me in the room. It was impossible for me to commit the crime.”
Her words caught everyone off guard. Ye Ling raised her eyebrows. Although this form of proof was relatively new, it had to be said that if there was evidence to prove that she was indeed broadcasting live, then her alibi would also be valid.
"What is it? More than a thousand people?" Police Chief Mu Mu was stunned. How big was the room that could accommodate so many people? This Guizi doesn't seem to be the daughter of a rich family. Why does she live in such a luxurious house?
Wait, didn't she just say that she was alone at home? Wouldn't her testimony be contradictory?
Genta was also dumbfounded." Is her house that big?”
Xiao Ai was speechless and could only explain to the children,"" She didn't mean her room, but the live streaming room on the Internet. To be honest, a thousand fans is pitifully few…"
"Hey! How can you say that?" When she heard the little girl say that she had few fans, Guizi felt as if her tail had been stepped on. She shouted angrily,"Don't compare me to those tasteless live streamers who sing and dance. I'm livestreaming a reading of a literary masterpiece. I'm much more impressive than them!”
Live reading? Conan was stunned. It seemed like there was such a thing…
Police Chief Mu Mu finally understood what the room meant. "Even though you said so, how do you get the audience to testify for you?" he asked after some thought.”
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. The live broadcast platform has a 24-hour live broadcast video playback function.”Miss Keiko took out her phone, opened a live video APP, found the room number, and played the video replay.
……
The replay was not only of the live broadcast, but also of the comments from the audience. Miss Keiko sat in the room, wearing a mask and holding a book in her hand. She read the words in the book with emotion, sounding like a radio drama.
" I'm dead. I was killed, but I'm still alive. I've been watching you from behind…"
Listening to her reading, Takagi guessed that it was a supernatural or suspense novel. The children's eyes lit up and they immediately recognized her. Bu Mei couldn't help but exclaim,""Ah! I know this book! This is 'Death's Children'."
"Yes, this is the content of the curse letter in the story.”"A curse letter has appeared in the school. If the person who receives this letter does not send it out, he will meet the Grim Reaper."”
Police Chief Mu Mu couldn't take it anymore and glanced at the children. The children immediately fell silent as if they had been swept by a machine gun.
Through the live broadcast, it could be seen that Miss Keiko not only read the books, but also randomly answered the audience's questions when she stopped. If it wasn't for the fact that they were broadcasting live, they wouldn't have been able to do it so flexibly.
"Speaking of which, is this person really you?”Police Chief Megami expressed his suspicion. Although the female streamer in the video had the same eyes and hairstyle as Miss Keiko, she was wearing a mask after all. Perhaps they just looked alike.
She might have used someone else's live broadcast video to deceive the police.
"Of course it's me! My account is already logged in." Miss Keiko opened the personal center in the APP to show the police. It was confirmed that the person who was broadcasting was indeed her.
Detective Takagi suddenly realized something. Wait a minute! Did you use your phone to broadcast?"
"Yeah, why?"
"If it's a live broadcast on my phone, won't I be able to bring my phone anywhere?”
"Please, I've been sitting in the room and haven't left, okay? Besides, this wasn't a pre-recorded recording. After all, I answered the audience's questions during the live broadcast. No matter how smart I was, I couldn't have guessed that someone in the audience of more than a thousand would ask some strange questions, right?”
Uh…Takagi was speechless. It seemed like that was indeed the case.
……
In order to prevent any fraud, Ye Ling and Conan took out their phones at the same time and downloaded the same live streaming software. After entering Miss Guizi's room number, they could indeed watch the live broadcast. There was no doubt that Guizi was live-streaming when the incident happened.
" Hmm…It seems that all three of you have alibis. The murderer must be an outsider…" Police Chief Megami rubbed his plump chin and muttered to himself.
"Wait!" At this moment, Ye Ling and Conan shouted at the same time. Conan cursed and quickly shut his mouth. How could he be so eager to show off in front of a dangerous person like Ye Ling? Xiao Ai also glared at him anxiously, reminding her to act more like a child.
"What happened to you guys?" Inspector Megamu asked in confusion.
Ye Ling showed him the live broadcast and said,""Look at Miss Keiko's right sleeve.”
Inspector Mu Mu took a closer look and found that Miss Keiko in the video had a button on her right sleeve. When he looked at Miss Keiko in front of him again, the button on her right sleeve was missing.
"Hmm? This is!" Police Chief Mu Mu immediately became serious and asked,""Miss Keiko, I hope you can explain why your cufflinks were still there during your live broadcast, but they disappeared half an hour later?”
When Ye Ling noticed this, she immediately understood. Previously, Miss Guizi had been looking around in the inner room. She must have noticed that her cufflink was missing and was anxious to find it at the scene...
Miss Guizi's expression changed, but she still stubbornly defended herself,"Yes, the cufflink was still there half an hour ago. It might have fallen on the road when I received Sakurako's call. Do I become a murderer just because I lost a button?”
" Uh, this..." Police Chief Mu Mu did not expect her to be so stubborn. However, she was right. Unless the button was found at the scene, she could not be considered a criminal. At the thought of this, Police Chief Megamo hurriedly asked the forensic officer,""Mr. Demi, did you find any buttons at the scene?”
" I'm sorry." The forensic officer in charge of the scene shook his head." We've searched the scene thoroughly, but we didn't find any buttons.”
Upon hearing this, Miss Keiko heaved a sigh of relief, but there was also a hint of confusion. If his guess was correct, the button was indeed dropped at the crime scene, but why couldn't it be found?
