Chapter 1421 The only entrance and exit

There were no signs of struggle or struggle at the scene, indicating that the staff member who only heard the screams and the sound of falling was not lying... However, this information alone still cannot rule out the existence of the perpetrator. After all, President Kojima's face was facing towards

Falling down the stairs.

Huh? He is still holding something in his right hand, it seems...a piece of paper?

Conan squatted next to the body that was gradually losing its temperature and observed carefully. Suddenly, his body felt light and he was lifted up.

He panicked in his heart. Before he could finish his sentence of "Brother Gengyi, I won't make trouble", he heard the voice owner who usually either ignores him or beats himself up before ignoring him again, said:

"Go to the stairs on the other side and have a look."

Stairs on the other side?

Conan was startled, and the 'Under Maintenance' warning sign placed in front of the elevator when he passed through the corridor appeared in his mind, and he suddenly understood.

That's right! Apart from the elevator, this TV station building only has stairs on the left and right sides that can be accessed. Assuming that President Kojima was really pushed down by someone, the murderer would have to take the stairs on the other side if he wanted to escape...

…

You must know that even prisoners with strong psychological qualities and who have formulated a murder plan usually do not have the awareness of counter-reconnaissance. To put it simply, as long as witnesses can be found on the TV station, the scope of the search can be quickly locked!

By the way, when looking for people who are walking in a hurry and acting suspiciously, except for those with unique temperaments or public officials such as the police, under normal circumstances it is more likely that children will get accurate information than adults.

He is truly worthy of being Geng Yige... Huh? Wait a minute... Is his attitude towards me different today?

Conan scratched his big head, feeling confused for a while.

"By the way...it would be better for you to call the police."

Ye Gengyi frowned slightly when he was thinking, which made Conan panic. He thought that it was rare that Brother Gengyi wanted to cooperate with him to solve the case. He should cherish this opportunity. Maybe it would become the norm in the future?

Why don't you just make another trip and go outside to see if anyone climbs through the window...

As a result, before Ye Geng could take action, he saw three contestants wearing the "Mr. Kojima Championship" costumes coming out from the corner of the stairs.

"What happened?"

Since there were not many clues that could be collected at the murder scene, Ye Gengyi originally planned to ask the detective boy to go to the other side to investigate the suspect, while he went upstairs to look for clues that the murderer might have left behind, and collected them for later use.

use.

The three of them walked down the steps talking to each other.

And contestant No. 147 Motoyoshi Kojima, who has a round figure and a big belly... Well... Speaking of which, what is Genta's father's name?

There was a variety show with thousands of people, and everyone was busy inside and outside the stage. When a safe passage was most needed, it happened to be in time for the elevator to be inspected? And the stairs on the other side were also waxed and maintained at the same time?

There seems to be no need for TV stations to be so afraid of people using up your elevator and trampling on the floor, right?

Um?

etc……

Contestant No. 84 Mojima Kojima is of medium build, wearing a pair of reading glasses and squinting eyes;

"Why is it so noisy? When will the last round of quick questions and answers start?"

"Ah?" Conan hesitated for a moment and said with a look of shame: "Yeah, it shouldn't be right? It's daytime after all..."

"Huchi, wheeze... I guess the suspect is still upstairs..."

At this moment, Conan, who Ye Gengyi estimated would take at least 20 minutes to half an hour to investigate the suspects, also trotted back.

"Should?" Ye Gengyi continued to criticize.

Some staff members subconsciously wanted to block their sight.

"Um?"

They are:

Contestant No. 35 Kojima Bunta is tall and has a pair of sharp eyebrows and a mustache;

Conan explained: "Usually when someone loses his footing and is about to fall down the stairs, it is impossible to still hold this in his hand, so when he is about to fall, he should have panicked and grabbed something in the hand of someone next to him.

, if... this is evidence left behind when fighting with someone, then the other person is most likely the murderer who pushed down President Kojima!"

Conan didn't bother to take a breath, and lowered his voice: "I have confirmed that the elevator is indeed under maintenance and overhaul. As for the stairs on the other side, because they are paved with solid wood floors, they are being waxed and maintained, so anyone

If you want to leave, you can only go this way!"

He took a deep breath and said hurriedly:

"Brother Gengyi...I'm sorry for ignoring you just now. I'm going to take a look."

However, the field of view and height difference from top to bottom still allowed the three of them to easily see President Kojima lying on the ground with his head bleeding profusely.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, and quickly turned around to remind the staff surrounding him.

Ye Gengyi looked a little stunned, but quickly made adjustments, walked over to stop the other party, and asked:

"How about it?"

"Yes, that makes sense..." A staff member nodded.

"Because the president said he wanted to go to the lounge to greet the champion in person, and asked me and other staff to wait on another floor."

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a blue suit walked over with a serious expression and said in a deep voice:

Worried about the escape of the selected candidates? No... This behavior is more like a way to fix the area and observe the movements of the designated target...

"Where are the windows?" Ye Geng asked.

Although this murder case was not planned by him, and there were loopholes in it, it was normal, but the planned execution plan was unexpectedly interrupted twice, and naturally he felt very unhappy.

"Call the police? Why?" Everyone was stunned.

"I'm already tired of waiting..."

I learned from Yoko Okino’s friend who is a staff member of the TV station that the producer in charge of this variety show plan really didn’t know that the deceased would choose the candidates so willfully.

"Look at President Kojima's left hand, is there a scrap of paper..."

And, no matter how you think about it, judging from the number of contestant seats in Studio 5, the number of finalists will not exceed 5...

"No, do you know the three people over there?"

W-what... In other words, Genta's father...

Now that the scope of suspicion has been fixed, there is no point in sending this kid away. Ye Geng turned sideways and let out the three "Mr. Kojima" who were standing on the steps and talking to the staff.

So, is it really just a coincidence that we deliberately chose to restrict access at this time?

Conan's heart trembled, and he ran towards the stairs on the other side without looking back: "Then I'll leave this to you, brother Genichi. I'll go over there and take a look first."

"Uh... I'm sorry, something happened here for you guys..."

Of course, if the murderer is really Genta Kojima's father, and he is unlucky enough to be caught by Conan, then there is nothing he can do.

"The person you are talking about may be one of the three winners in this tournament."

...Anyway, Brother Gengyi still prefers to take an unconventional path, so before leaving, he still plans to complete the preparations first.

Who?

Conan glanced at the faces of the three people one by one. He was about to say 'I don't know', but suddenly thought of something, his expression froze, "Could it be that... Genta's father is inside?"

"You haven't seen it?" Ye Gengyi keenly caught the uncertainty in the other party's words.

If they had met, they would have shown a direct expression of surprise instead of such an ambiguous guessing tone.
