Aoki Song did not delve into this issue for the time being, because he keenly discovered that this may be one of the reasons why the murderer was able to kill Michiko Osawa. As for whether this was unintentional, or was done deliberately by some people who intended to kill Michiko Osawa, Let’s wait until the investigation of this case is completed.

So Aoki Song changed the question, looked at a few people and asked: "Where were you at that time? Can anyone prove it to you?"

Lin Yaren was stunned when she heard this, and then she felt a little offended and said with a hint of anger: "We were all operating the machine in the control room at the time! We can all prove it to each other."

Aoki Songcai ignored the other party's attitude and asked more bluntly: "Were all the backstage staff in the control room at that time?"

Lin Yaren nodded, "Except for Miss Osawa and Miss Minegishi who are going to perform on stage, everyone else is in the control room."

"Are you sure no one else will enter the backstage at that time?" Aoki Song asked.

"When we perform, we will lock the backstage door, and the cleaners will not come in to clean at this time, so usually there is no one else backstage at that time." Lin Yaren said.

Aoki Song raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Under normal circumstances?"

Lin Yaren's face turned ugly when she heard this, "I suddenly thought that if someone had been planning to murder Miss Osawa for a long time, then it was possible to copy a backstage key. At that time, we were all in the control room, and the door was closed. I really don’t know if there are outsiders coming in.”

Hearing Lin Yaren say this, Qingmusong was stunned.

Good opportunity, are you a detective or a criminal?

This imagination is even wider than Qingmu Song.

However, Aoki Song also reflected on himself afterwards. Although Lin Yaren's reasoning sounded unscientific, in fact it was not impossible.

From beginning to end, Ke Xueke was not evidence that the prisoner could be beaten to death.

However, in the eyes of Qingmusong, a senior scientist, Lin Yaren was even more suspicious.

Whether it was what he said about Michiko Osawa's knee injury before or his current reasoning, in Aokimatsu's view, there is only one central idea - leading the case to the direction that Michiko Osawa committed suicide or that an outsider murdered her.

They are all suspected of dumping themselves.

"It is indeed possible." Aoki Song said, then looked at the others and asked: "You guys, everyone in the control room was there at the time, and no one went out during the process?"

At this time, Yasuyuki Murakawa, who was standing next to Lin Yaren, suddenly said: "Well, I went out to the bathroom once in the meantime."

"When did you go to the bathroom?" Aoki Song asked immediately.

Yasuyuki Murakawa thought for a while and said, "I went out after Ms. Minegishi performed on the stage and after the machine was finished operating. After using the bathroom, I came back directly."

He went out after Yuriko Minegishi performed on stage. At this time...

If Michiko Osawa was a homicide, then the time when she was killed and attacked by the murderer should be between the time when Yuriko Minegishi left the dressing room and when it was Michiko Osawa's turn to enter the water tank and perform on stage.

In terms of time, the time when Yasuyuki Murakawa went to the toilet coincided with the time when Michiko Osawa was "murdered".

[Murakawa Yasuyuki’s suspicion +1]

"I know the details. Please wait in this control room while we get the diving equipment to check the water tanks and machines." Aoki Song said, "When the time comes, we still need your cooperation."

"Okay." Lin Yaren responded.

"Detective Mori, please stay here." After Aokisong finished speaking, he walked out of the control room. Behind him, Miwako Sato and Ayumi Maruda also walked out. Then Aokisong said to the two of them: "Let's go. Search the staff room and dressing room.”

"Okay." The two agreed quickly.

As soon as he opened the door to the employee lounge, Aoki Song saw an unusual place - a coat hanging on a hook on the wall. It is worth mentioning that the lower half of the coat was soaked. The bottom part is still dripping, but the upper part is very dry.

What's more important - there is a lipstick mark behind the right shoulder of the dress, near the hat.

The lipstick mark in this place…

Aoki Song simulated the posture in his mind.

I found that the lipstick marks in this area were either made from behind, or were made by someone who picked up a woman, placed her head behind her right shoulder, and then put her head upside down.

"Why is this dress so weird?" Miwako Sato asked as she looked at the dress. She had some reasoning ability, so she noticed the difference in this dress at a glance.

Aoki Song smiled and said: "Sato-san, under what circumstances do you think this situation will happen?"

"The lower part of the clothes was soaked in the water, but the upper part was not." Miwako Sato replied without thinking.

"But... this is the employee rest area, how could the lower half of the clothes be soaked in water?" Ayumi Maruta asked doubtfully.

Even if the clothes fall off, they will just fall to the ground.

"Good question!" Aoki Song agreed. "Once you understand this, this case will be solved."

Maruta Ayumi heard this and said quickly: "I will work hard."

Then Aoki Song checked the employee lounge and found nothing. The iron cabinets in the lounge were also locked, so there was no problem.

After that, Aokisong led the two people to the dressing room next door. When he opened the door, Aokisong was stunned again - the cosmetics in the dressing room were messy, the lipstick and mascara were not covered, and the foundation box was not closed. The sponge has not returned to its position, and the eyebrow pencil has not been capped.

I still know a little bit about Aoki Pine in this aspect.

Mascara dries easily, so after brushing your eyelashes, close them immediately to prevent the mascara from drying out immediately.The reason for lipstick is that the entire paste seems to be solid, but is actually very fragile. It can easily break or fall off at the slightest touch, so generally after applying it, the cap will be closed to avoid being touched.

"The dressing table is a little messy," Miwako Sato said.

Aoki Song looked at the dressing table thoughtfully, then looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you think about this case?"

"If it had not been a machine accident, after Ms. Minegishi performed on stage, the victim was the only one in the dressing room. It is very likely that someone came to the dressing room and attacked the victim while the backstage staff were in the control room.

Then the victim was stuffed into the water tank, and there was no one watching outside the water tank. The control room only looked at the indicator lights, so that he could drown in the water tank. "Miwako Sato reasoned.

As soon as these words came out, Aoki Song immediately looked at Miwako Sato. She was indeed the policewoman in "Detective Conan" who combines wisdom and force.

But, having said that... the last time Miwako Sato was really blinded by eating lard, she was forcibly knocked out of her mind by the old thief 73.

Now that this case has been investigated, Aoki Song also thinks like this: "Then who do you think is the murderer?"

Sato Miwako thought for a while and said: "It is possible that an outsider stole the key and committed the crime. If it is not an outsider, then Murakawa Yasuyuki is a bit suspicious, because he was the only one who left the control room at that time."

Aoki Song nodded, indeed.

As for Lin Yaren, although Qingmusong thought he was highly suspicious before, Qingmusong carefully compared the time.Before Yuriko Minegishi left the dressing room, Lin Yaren had already entered the control room and never left the control room.

The machines in the control room are placed against the wall, and there are no blind spots. During this period, the entire staff in the control room can more or less see him.

Therefore, his suspicion was reduced by doing this.

As for what happened before... Qingmu Song can only say that Lin Yaren might be a little bit tongue-tied, or it was deliberately arranged by the old thief 73.

Qingmusong has also met this kind of person.

The former was a male classmate that Mouri Kogoro met by chance after dinner. He said that around eight o'clock in the evening, he always heard the sound of someone throwing things against the wall. He asked Mouri Kogoro to go take a look, and then a murder case occurred.

In this case, there was a college student who was particularly arrogant and exposed all kinds of information about his classmates, and he didn't need anyone's guidance. But in the end, he was not the murderer.

The latter is the case of the bandage weirdo, the handsome male classmate of Miss Suzuki Ayako's college. Not only was this man a playboy, but he also molested Mao Lilan, which made Conan furious, but in the end he managed to survive. Said, not the murderer yet.

It really shocked all readers at the time.

After all, according to Ke Xue, this kind of character is either a corpse or a murderer.

It turned out that the handsome guy was a soy sauce guy, which really surprised everyone.

At this time, a police officer came over, saluted the three people and said, "Police Department, the diving equipment has been brought over."

"Okay." Aoki Song responded, then returned to the control room.

Then start experimenting.

A voice came from the radio: "Everything here is ready and can start at any time."

"Then please start." Aoki Song said.

"Okay." A staff member responded, and then said over the radio: "Please close the hatch."

"understood."

After the water hatch was closed, the indicator light came on.

"The door is locked."

"Okay, I'm going to release the water."

"Ok."

After finishing speaking, the staff member sitting in front of the machine pressed the red water release button on the machine, and then the water tank began to discharge water into the tank.

"The water has come in." The person in the cabin said: "There is nothing abnormal so far."

"Okay, after the water reaches the appropriate location, you can try the emergency drainage device." The staff directed.

"understand!"

After the other party replied, not long after, a harsh sound suddenly sounded in the control room. After a closer look, a red indicator light came on.

Qingmusong asked quickly: "What's going on?"

"This is a warning sound and it will stop filling the water inside." The staff explained: "This means that there must have been an accident."

"That's it." Aoki Song nodded, paused, looked at Lin Yaren and the others and asked, "Did this warning sound sound before Miss Osawa drowned?"

"No! If there is, we will definitely check it out." Lin Yaren replied.

As expected by Aoki Song.

When the staff saw that Aoki Song had no other questions, he picked up the radio and asked the person on the other side, "How is it?"

"It's very normal that the water injection stopped immediately, and the drainage is still continuing." The other side replied.

"Okay." The staff member continued: "Let's continue filling the water now." After saying that, the operation started again.

After the operation was completed, the staff looked at Aoki Song and said, "Looking at it from the looks of it, there shouldn't be any problems with the machine and the console." Those of them in the control room naturally had no responsibility.

"The next step is to wait until the water is filled and then open the clam shell." The staff continued, with a smile on his face.

Qingmusong's eyes became more and more profound.

It's not a machine failure or an operating error.

That means it was homicide!

The water was quickly filled, a blue clam shell icon lit up, and a voice from the water tank came over the radio, "The water has just been filled, and the water volume is also very standard."

"Okay, I'll open the clam shell now, and you're ready to get on top. Thank you for your hard work," the staff member said.

"it is good."

After the staff member pressed the button, he turned to Aoki Song and said, "This is the entire process, there is nothing unusual."

Aoki Song nodded.

He already had an idea in his mind, but there was still one final step to take.

Aoki Song turned to look at Yuriko Minegishi and asked: "Ms. Minegishi, may I ask if the cosmetics on the dressing table in the dressing room are yours or those of Ms. Osawa? Or do you share them?"

"It belongs to Miss Osawa. We all use our own cosmetics. After putting on makeup, we will immediately pack it away and put it back in the cosmetic bag." Yuriko Minegishi replied.

Aoki Song nodded, then looked at the others and asked: "In the employee lounge, there is a piece of clothing hanging on the wall. Whose clothing does it belong to?"

"Are the clothes hung up in the employee lounge?" Many people were a little surprised and looked around, but no one acknowledged it.

Qingmusong was not surprised by this. He looked at Lin Yaren and asked, "Is there surveillance here?"

"No." Lin Yaren replied.

As expected, Aokimatsu was not disappointed. He looked at Yuriko Minegishi and Yasuyuki Murakawa and said, "Miss Minegishi and Mr. Murakawa, you two happened to be alone together for a period of time when the victim drowned, so There is some suspicion, we are going to search you now, no problem."

"Search?" Both of them were a little repelled.

Yuriko Minegishi said with a bad expression: "I was performing at the time, how could I have time to kill Miss Osawa?"

"What if you stunned Ms. Osawa in advance and put her into the water tank?" Aoki Song said with a smile: "When you came out for the first time, you came out alone. After the performance, you immediately went to the water tank. There, just close the hatch again and that’ll be fine.”
