My neighbor's name is Conan

After stopping Mouri Kogoro, Aoki Song turned to look at Conan, looked at Conan with a smile and said: "Conan, you tell me."

"This person is the one who came here with the novelist Ryutaro Tsukigata and the others half a year ago." Conan replied obediently.

[As expected of Conan, he has such a good memory. ] Aoki Song felt a little envious.

Hearing what Conan said, Mouri Kogoro had an impression: "Tsukigata!?"

Then Mouri Kogoro looked at the body carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Oh! By the way, he was one of Tsukigata-sensei's two disciples at that time!"

"Ryutaro Tsukigata!? Is he the famous period novelist who is good at writing ninja stories?" asked Wataru Takagi on the side.

"Yes." Mouri Kogoro nodded in agreement, and then continued: "About half a year ago, they said they wanted to challenge me to write a detective novel, so they suddenly came to my place to interview me. That's what happened."

After hearing this, Aoki Song thought for a moment and said, "At that time, Detective Mori, you also gave your business card to Mr. Kusaka, right?"

"Yes." Then Mouri Kogoro held his chin, thought for a while and said: "I remember that he was learning writing while working in the company, paving the way for his future as a writer. He happened to come to Tokyo at that time, so I brought him here Learn to interview.”

"What about the other one?" Aoki Song asked.

A very famous and very old teacher, two students, this...

There will most likely be a fight over the "teacher legacy" in the future.

Of course, it may also be that the teacher has exhausted his talents and asked his disciples to write for him, and then divided the accounts unevenly, which caused the fight.

In these two situations, Aoki Song has encountered such cases before.

Therefore, Ryutaro Tsukigata and another disciple became the main suspects in Aoki Song's heart.

Hearing Aoki Song's question, Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "Let me think about it."

At this time, Conan interrupted again, "It's Mr. Saruhashi."

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he looked at Conan with a displeased expression. Seeing this, Conan quickly approached Aoki Song.

"Saruqiao?" Aoki Song asked doubtfully.

Conan nodded, "Yes, his name is Saruhashi Masaru, and he lives in Yoneka Town just like Tsukigata-sensei. He helps Tsukigata-sensei organize materials while learning to engage in writing and creation."

"That's right!" Aoki Song nodded to show that he understood.

This scene is not the first scene, so there are too few clues to be found.

He had just inspected the body and found that the deceased had been strangled to death. There were two obvious signs of strangulation on the neck, but other than that there were no other marks.

After thinking about it, Aokisong said: "Let's go find Teacher Tsukigata first."

"Yes!" Takagi Wataru and Maruta Ayumi both agreed.

But before going to find the other party, Aokimatsu also made a phone call to Niina Kahori.

"Hey, Matsu-kun, why are you calling me at this time?" Niina Kaho asked some strange questions.

Under normal circumstances, Aokimatsu would not call Niina Kahori at work.

"Kahori, are you familiar with the novelist Ryutaro Tsukigata?" Aoki Song asked.

Upon hearing this, Shinname Kahoori replied: "I'm not very familiar with him. He writes about ninjas, but there was a period of time about half a year ago when he suddenly wanted to write detective novels, so he came to ask dad for advice. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Aoki Song did not answer Shinina Kahori's question, but immediately asked: "What's his level? Is there anyone who has exhausted his talent?"

"Ah?" Xianna Xiangbo was stunned when he heard Aokimatsu ask. It took him a long time to answer under Aokimatsu's urging: "The level is very high, and he is not exhausted. At that time, my father was envious of his good thinking and energy, and his He said he was looking forward to his new book."

"Oh, that's it!" Aoki Song suddenly understood.

In other words, the chances of Ryutaro Tsukigata letting his apprentice ghostwrite have dropped a lot, so Ryutaro Tsukigata's testimony has a higher degree of credibility.

After a few more words with Shinname Kahori, Aokimatsu hung up the phone.

Naturally, Aokimatsu didn't disclose the case to Niina Kahori. After all, the case had not yet been solved. After Niina Kahori asked once and couldn't find out the reason, he probably had an idea in his mind and didn't ask again.

This is also one of the things Aoki Song is very satisfied with in Shinname Xiangbaoli, it is measured.

Then Aokimatsu and his party came to Ryutaro Tsukigata's residence, and of course Kogoro Mouri and Conan shamelessly followed.

Since he didn't think of this case and Aoki Song didn't drive them away, he might have to rely on Conan when necessary.

Ryutaro Tsukigata is a 63-year-old man. As a well-known writer, he is not short of money, so he owns a Japanese-style independent luxury courtyard villa in Yoneka Town.

Arriving at Tsukigata's house, Aoki Song introduced himself and was quickly received by Ryutaro Tsukigata.

Aoki Song told Ryutaro Tsukigata about the murder of Kusaka Kuichi.

Ryutaro Tsukigata was very surprised, "What, Kusaka, he..."

"Because of this, I suspect that he might have been killed on the way here." Aoki Song hid his guess and said to Ryutaro Tsukigata.

"That's right!" Ryutaro Tsukigata thought for a while and said, "He was originally scheduled to bring his work here yesterday to show me."

Aoki Song frowned when he heard this and asked: "Excuse me, when he brought the work, did he use a disk, a written manuscript, or a printed manuscript?"

Although Ryutaro Tsukigata was a little surprised when he heard this, he still said: "It's a printed manuscript. I'm not used to reading documents on a computer."

Aoki Song nodded, "I understand, please continue."

"Okay." Ryutaro Tsukigata thought for a while and continued: "Last night at around 8 o'clock, he called from Teito Station. He clearly said that he would come at 9 o'clock, but he did not show up later, so I was Very worried too.”

When Ryutaro Tsukigata said this, the hearts of everyone present sank. Perhaps it was at that time that the other party was killed.

"The call came after 8 o'clock..." Aoki Song thought thoughtfully after hearing this. He remembered that the time of death was previously estimated to be between 7 and 9 o'clock.

Takagi Wataru, who was next to him, also came over and whispered: "Aoki Police Department, if he was at the Imperial Capital Station after 8 o'clock, we can filter out his whereabouts before he was killed!"

Aoki Song nodded, but there was some doubt in his heart.

Telephone……

Because of various scientific cases, Aoki Song will be extra cautious when encountering situations like phone calls to prove time.

After all, the phone is the most common tool used by murderers to mislead time or prove alibi.

What impressed Aoki Song the most was that there was a man and a woman, neither of whom were good friends. Then they called each other at the agreed time, and then a recording of a prepared manuscript was played, and then... both of them went out. He ran off to do bad things.

At this time Ryutaro Tsukigata said again: "Kusaka made two calls last night. The first call was from his residence at noon. On the phone, he asked me if he could take a look at the new work he had just completed. .
