Chapter 96 The Illusory Road of TV Station
Conan was funny, "Uncle Maori was not strong enough, so why not let Brother Qianjun try it, and you will know how fast it can reach." Qianjun ravaged Conan's hair, "Don't cause trouble for me, okay?" Conan was secretly happy, making you suffer a little like an uncle. Officer Memu nodded and asked Qianjun to try it. This time the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Qianjun actually ran back to the 4th floor along the maze-like route just 4 minutes, and it happened to be a round trip. Everyone thought that Qianjun was simply a monster.
Officer Memu still shook his head. Qianjun's physical strength was beyond ordinary people. Even the murderer could do this. In addition, the time for the crime would be more than 4 minutes. It would take at least 5 minutes to make such a trip. After Conan's prompt, Officer Memu also asked these staff if there were shorter shortcuts? If you just run back and forth along the stairs, even 3 minutes would be barely enough. Employee A mentioned that the speed of crossing the studio on the 6th floor would be faster. Employee B said that the program was being filmed from 8 to 10 o'clock there, and it was impossible for people to cross it, and even if you pass directly from there, it would only save more than ten seconds.
Officer Takagi ran over to report and had already checked that the surveillance camera in the corridor did not capture anyone like Matsuo. Matsuo also smiled and said, "Except for these 4 minutes, I am hosting the show for the rest of the time, and all viewers can testify for me." Conan whispered, "Qianjun, Matsuo must be the murderer." Qianjun nodded, "I feel the same way. This guy is too arrogant. It's strange, how did he jump from the 9th floor to the 4th floor. By the way, there is another way, which is to do it.
He hangs the rope directly from the 9th floor to the window on the 4th floor. After killing someone, he crawls back immediately. 3 minutes is enough." Conan was speechless, "Do you think everyone is a monster like you, and even if the method you said is feasible, if you hang someone outside the building with bright lights, pedestrians outside must have seen it." Qianjun touched his chin, "It makes sense, then how did you say he did it?" Conan shook his head and decided to look around, hoping to find some useful clues.
After discussing, the two of them took action separately. Conan walked upstairs and met Xiaolan. Xiaolan was very angry and said that he was looking for Conan everywhere. Conan was surprised, "I have been with my uncle. Sister Xiaolan, where have you been? Where are Sister Jingyang and the others?" Xiaolan blushed and hesitated and couldn't say it. Conan was funny. He remembered that Xiaolan was a famous road fool, "Sister Xiaolan, you and Sister Jingyang and the others got separated, and were lost later?" Xiaolan was embarrassed and hurriedly opened up the topic, complaining that the TV station was repaired like a maze.
The reason why the TV station is like a maze is because it is afraid that it will be easily controlled by the enemy during wartime. Xiaolan is surprised that Conan knows that Conan hurriedly said what the uncles of the TV station said. Conan lowered his head and thought that there must be an unknown shortcut, an illusory road. Qianjun found Jingyang and the others. It turned out that the three of them also found that Xiaolan was lost, so they had to come back to find Xiaolan. Xiaolan was running around, but they still haven't found it yet. Qianjun smiled and sarcastically. Then Qianjun was surprised to find that the monitors on the 4th floor of 8, 7, 6, and 5 were only installed in a fixed position in the corridor, and they could not take pictures of the stairs. Only when the 7th floor was changed to the opposite stairs passed through the corridor will people be photographed.
After the six people met, Conan listened to Qianjun's analysis and asked Qianjun to try it. If he just followed the stairs from 9th floor to 7th floor, 2 minutes would be enough to get back and forth. Qianjun only took 1 minute. Conan saw a warehouse on the 7th floor and asked Qianjun to open it. Everyone went in to watch. Xiaolan and the others complained that it was too dark. Conan and Qianjun both found that the windows of the warehouse were the same as those on the 4th floor. This window was on the window on the 4th floor. Qianjun mentioned the method of using ropes again. Conan thought for a while and still decided.
Back at the scene on the 4th floor, Officer Memu asked about the phone record. Officer Takagi reported that the person who called was not found yet. Conan was also surprised, why did the other party have not called yet? There is only one possibility that the murderer is the person who called. "Qianjun, can't the call from that phone call be found for the specific person?" Qianjun nodded, "I asked Officer Takagi, and it was not clear that the call was found, and even if there was a call, the number was not necessarily found. Everyone was anonymous when buying the number, and there was no need for identity proof. Moreover,
Many people choose not to display their numbers on the other party’s mobile phone. That’s for confidentiality. Usually, people who are close and familiar will turn on each other’s call ID, such as Jingyang, Xiaolan and others. If I contact some unfamiliar people, I will choose not to display my phone number. In Japan, the power to choose a call ID is determined by both parties. I heard that the power to choose a call ID in Country Z is in their own hands, and all calls can be displayed. It would be much easier if that happens."
Conan asked whether this phone could record incoming calls like a Japanese home phone. Qianjun smiled, "Of course it's OK. As long as the phone is on, all the phones are recorded from the start of the phone, all of which can be replayed. This is specially set to prevent some customers from forgetting the content of the phone. If there are too many phones exceeding the storage space, the oldest phone recording will be automatically covered. This function was solved by Dr. Agasa at that time. If the power is turned off, the records stored before will be cleaned to save space to store new recordings. Of course, users can choose to save some important phone recordings in advance."
At this time, Qianjun walked to the window, pressed the window from the upper part, and looked up. He found that if he used a rope, someone had to open the window from the inside to the outside to come in. This action reminded Conan that the progress of the times was proportional to difficult cases, and there was only one truth. Conan found the illusory path, and the rest was evidence. At this time, Matsuo received a call and picked up his phone to talk about the matter. It turned out that his phone was always on. Conan laughed secretly and found the evidence. Now he had to find a way to trick Uncle Maori.
Conan pulled Kogoro and asked him to go over quickly. Kogoro was surprised, "I'm so anxious, who will go to see? Who do you think will leave?" "It's your favorite idol, Miss Yoko!" The uncle immediately became energetic, picked up Conan and rushed to the warehouse on the 7th floor. As soon as he entered the door, he threw down Conan and shouted, "Miss Yoko! Hello, is Miss Yoko really here?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was anesthetized by Conan and fell to the ground. Then, Qianjun also brought the paint gun from the photographer's hand as he agreed in advance, and told the photographer and staff to broadcast the live broadcast of the detective Kogoro Mori's reasoning show.
The staff were overjoyed and immediately arranged the camera to go over. On the 4th floor, Matsuo asked to go back. Officer Memu hesitated for a moment and agreed. At this time, the image sound of sleeping Kogoro's sleeping sound came from the TV screen, "Mr. Matsuo, wait a moment, you can't leave yet! Otherwise there will be no good show. I'm about to conduct a mystery show, how can you leave?" Officer Memu was overjoyed, "Brother Maori, you are finally in the state." Matsuo Takashi was a little stunned, and Kogoro sneered, "You have to play the murderer, Mr. Matsuo!"
Everyone was surprised. Officer Meguchi had a headache, "What! Kogoro, you have to go through your brain!" Matsuo snorted, "Do you still think I am the murderer?" At this time, the staff outside the door rushed in with the camera, aiming the long gun at Officer Meguchi, "Mr. Maori said he would see the situation here at the same time, Mr. Police Officer." Officer Meguchi hurriedly asked to wait for a while, solemnly sorted out his clothes, and confirmed that there were no mistakes. While aiming at the camera, he signaled another camera to aim at the entire room. He coughed twice, "Please think clearly, Brother Maori, the murderer was killed in this room on the 4th floor. The bullets that penetrated the head were knocked out of the window, and the other bullets were left on the wall, and the gun and shells were also left in this room. In other words, the murderer committed an assault in this room is an ironclad fact."
Officer Meguchi signaled the camera to turn around and aimed at him and Matsuo, "However, Mr. Matsuo hosted the program on the 9th floor where the murder scene was located. The time left for him was only 4 minutes to play the video. It would take 6 minutes to go back and forth from the studio to this room at the fastest. Could he still commit the crime in this way?" Kogoro Mori shook his head, "It's true that I've run once myself. Even if it's beyond ordinary people, Huosin of Heisei, I personally test it and the crime time will take at least 5 minutes." Everyone was a little confused, and Kogoro continued, "But the room you are in is going up to the third floor, which is the warehouse on the 7th floor where I am now. It's different to borrow the windows here. Because it only takes 2 minutes to get here from the studio on the 9th floor, it's enough to get back and forth, and the time for the crime will not exceed 4 minutes."
Officer Megu was shocked, "What? Really? Kogoro!" In the live photography room, employee A hurriedly reminded Megu with sound equipment, and it was too close to the camera. Employee B said, "Will we be scolded if we use photography equipment without authorization?" Employee C said, "Anyway, it's broadcasting inside the TV station. It doesn't matter. We can save the video data in the future. It's very precious." At this time, the TV station minister came over, "Hey, what are you doing?" All of these people were shocked and hurriedly said to stop immediately. "Idiot! Who told you to stop, I will immediately interject the TV to the whole country. All the responsibilities are my responsibility, a group of fools!" These employees were overjoyed and laughed together.
At this time, Aimi, who was watching TV at home and shopping with her mother, saw close-up scenes of Kogoro and Conan appearing on the screen on the street on the TV. On the show, the reasoning was continuing. Qianjun took the paint gun and followed Maori's instructions to the window and leaned out. Officer Meguri, who received Kogoro's instructions, was deceived and played the deceased again. "Wait, Brother Maori, do you think the murderer shot from where? The victim was shot in the head and the window was also closed. Unless the bullets could fly, how could it be hit?"
At this time, Conan appeared on the screen and shouted in panic, "Wow, I'm going to fall down, help!" Officer Memu was shocked, "Hey, Qianjun, what are you doing, hold Conan!" While shouting, he opened the window and looked up. As soon as his head was poked out, the paint gun in Qianjun's hand shot. Officer Memu was hit by a paint bullet on the spot, and Qianjun threw the gun down. Officer Memu was dizzy and shrank back, and the gun also hit Officer Memu and fell into the room. Officer Memu understood, "Then why did he let the victim stick his head out of the window?" Kogoro continued to reason, "Use your cell phone, haven't the deceased been talking to someone before he died? So far, the person who called was unable to contact him, and he could not find out who it was because the person who called was the murderer."
Maori said, "The bullet marks on the ground directly under the window on the scene are the best evidence for shooting from top to bottom. The other bullet marks on the wall and the shells should have been preserved in advance by Mr. Matsuo, and they are all in less obvious places. This way, not only did no one pay attention before the crime, but the police will also find these things after the crime and come to the wrong conclusion that the murderer fired randomly in the room." Officer Meguri smiled bitterly and wiped his head and painted it, "Brother Maori, there is another question, how did the windows close?"
Kogoro signaled to ask Officer Takagi to play the role of the dead body. There were black lines on Takagi, but after looking at the eyes of the Megumi Police Department, he sighed. This time he had to play the role of the dead body. He had already played the role of the dead body once. Takagi leaned against the window, listened to Kogoro's instructions, the deceased died after being hit on the head. First of all, his legs would be weak, his body would slide down, and the center of gravity of the folded window gradually turned down. When Officer Takagi completely slid to the ground, the window also folded up and closed it very well. Everyone understood.
Kogoro continued to reason, "Mr. Matsuo, the reason why you asked the staff to help you determine Mr. Suwa's location several times is to give yourself a perfect absent proof. You deliberately asked the staff to go to the conference room on the 4th floor to check the situation, and also to clear the suspicion. When playing the 4-minute video, you slipped out of the studio and rushed to the warehouse on the 7th floor, shot and killed Mr. Suwa in the way just now, and then hurried back to the 9th floor, so Miss Nagai found you sweating heavily when she saw you. This is the truth. Is it, Mr. Matsuo Takashi?" Matsuo Takashi laughed and continued to struggle to death, "I am worthy of being a famous detective. I can indeed commit crimes with this method. Although your reasoning is perfect, do you have evidence? If not, you can only make a guess out of thin air." Police Officer Meguri turned around, "You should still have smoke reactions on you, we can conduct the test immediately, hey, Takagi..."
Kogoro sighed, "It's useless, Officer Meguro, he won't leave such an obvious flaw. However, he also made a mistake. His phone has been on, which is a common habit for people who use mobile phones. You also remember that the mobile phone produced by Fujikashi is very excellent. If the power supply is not turned off, the phone will have all the phone replay functions from the start of the phone until it is not enough storage space and it keeps covering it forward. Officer Meguro, please take his phone away and press the replay button, so that you will know the result."
Matsuo was shocked and wanted to resist. Officer Takagi came to catch him. Officer Memu took his cell phone and pressed the replay button. As a result, Suwa's cell phone rang. Matsuo himself once said that he didn't know Suwa's cell phone number, and the lies were completely exposed. Officer Memu didn't find where to play the recording for a while. Takagi knew that the Memu police department had never been good at these new things, so he took it and pressed a button. The recording began to play on the phone. Everyone heard the whole process of Matsuo and Suwa's conversation. Now everything was revealed.
Matsuo panicked and defended loudly, "I used to put this phone on the table. Someone wanted to blame me and took my phone away. Didn't the person inside call himself the director of Kuroshima? Yes, someone must have imitated my voice." Everyone looked dark, and Kogoro sneered, "Is that right? The program is in progress. I used your phone. Look at where the recordings in it will be played? It should be a hotel. Officer Takagi, you continue to search upward..."
Takagi continued to press the replay and play the recording. The erotic conversation between Kogoro and Xiaojing rang out on the phone, and everyone laughed slanted. "I remember very clearly that after I called, this phone was always in your pocket, and no one had used it again. Miss Ayako Nagai and the staff around you should remember it, yes, since that's the case, can anyone else use it besides yourself? Mr. Matsuo, what else can you make a quibble?" Matsuo Takashi sighed, "I admit defeat. I shouldn't invite you to be a guest today, Detective Maori."
The staff of the TV station asked Matsuo why he killed Suwa. It turned out that Suwa Duohiko gave the credit to himself on the grounds of promoting Matsuo Takashi as the host, and planned to cancel the detective program and replace it with a more charming love S program and a beautiful female host. However, he was unwilling to be replaced and angry, and designed to kill him. Matsuo finally said, "The preparations for the festival are more interesting than the festival. I especially miss the situation when the two of us were running around to create the program to collect materials and conceived together. Now it's too late to say that these are." Then Officer Meguri waved his hand and asked Officer Takagi to take him to the police station.
At this time, Kogoro Mouri woke up, looking at the camera in front of him with some confusion, Qianjun hurriedly stepped forward to praise Uncle Mouri for successfully unlocking the illusory road, causing the murderer Takashi Matsuo to bow his head to confess. Kogoro was a little puzzled. Police Officer Meguri shouted on the screen, "Kogoro, you did a good job, you deserve to be a famous detective!" Xiaolan also smiled happily, "Dad, you are so amazing!" Jingyang waved his fists, "The legendary sleeping Kogoro!" Naoko also exclaimed, "This reasoning is so wonderful!" Xiaoya also expressed respect, "It can be used as a classic material for the detective world and mystery novels!"
Kogoro turned around and looked at Conan. Conan hurriedly said, "I'll go to Sister Xiaolan's side first, see you uncle..." Kogoro was furious and arrested him, "Little kid, why did you call me here? Miss Yoko? Where is it? Also, why do you sleep next to you every time you work? What tricks are you playing? Let's go outside to explain it clearly..." Conan was shocked. He was really suspicious this time and hurriedly asked Qianjun for help. Qianjun blinked his eyes and told Conan to be calm.
Kogoro walked out of the room and saw a large group of people outside the door. The headline was the heartthrob, beautiful and generous Yoko Okino. "Mr. Maori, I saw your reasoning on TV. I know you are here at the Japanese TV station. Although I am still recording TV series, I am so moved that I can't help but run over to visit you." Kogoro was overjoyed and threw Conan on the ground, "What's this? It's a little bit of a word, haha..." Then he stepped forward to pull Yoko
The hand, sticking out his tongue and laughed out loud. The ugly appearance of this scene was recorded by the live broadcast program and played on the TV screen. Conan got up from the ground, Qianjun walked over, squatted down and whispered, "It's so dangerous. Fortunately, I notified Miss Yoko in time. Miss Yoko also has a good impression of the uncle. After receiving the call, she rushed over immediately after asking for the location." Conan wiped his sweat, "Fortunately, my uncle is always confused."
At the end, Matsuo Takashi was sentenced to 6 years in prison by the court for killing Suwa Daohiko. Kogoro Maori was awarded a B-level reward for cracking this TV murder case. This time, Kogoro Maori's reputation spread throughout Japan under the influence of this live broadcast. Even many remote places knew the great reputation of the Maori detective. Many gossipers were asking who the lady was, but the reporters focused more on the ambiguous relationship between Yoko Okino and Kogoro Maori. As a result, a lot of gossip news naturally appeared in the newspaper the next day, "Idol actors and famous detectives!" "Kogoro and Yoko!" "Wonderful underground romance!" "Wonderful reasoning, immortal love!"
