My neighbor's name is Conan

Ryutaro Tsukigata was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "I have said this reason before, but neither Kusaka nor you seem to believe it, but that is really my true thought."

"What's the reason?" Qingmusong asked.

Ryutaro Tsukigata didn't answer directly, but said something else: "Writing a novel is actually not difficult, as long as you write out the story you want.

But to become a novelist, or even less demanding, an author of novels that can sell well, requires not only talent and perseverance, but also a bit of luck. "

Having said this, Ryutaro Tsukigata sighed and said: "Although I am a well-known novelist about ninjas in Neon, the novels I wrote are also popular. I may not let the disciples I teach also learn to write novels that are popular. , in fact, I have no idea.

Whether it is Saruhashi or Kusaka, they do have talent, they also like to write novels, and they also have the perseverance to work hard for it. But none of these can guarantee 100% success. Success also requires a little luck.

I'm not sure if they can have this kind of luck in their life. Before they succeed, I don't want them to quit their jobs and become full-time writers, without any financial resources at all. Because they are not just themselves, they also have family members. "

Ryutaro Tsukigata said everything at this point, "The reason why I rejected Kusaka is, on the one hand, because I was preparing a new book before and I really didn't have the energy to guide my two disciples wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, what Kusaka said about coming to Rice Flowers to serve me may be different from your understanding, and even from Saruhashi's understanding of "service".

Saruhashi's family is in Mihua, so although he comes to my place frequently, in fact he basically goes home and lives in his own house. And Kusaka means to live in my house.

My family is not small, so it’s not that I can’t afford to live with him, but I find that Kusaka is a bit too utilitarian. I accepted him because of his talent, but he had the idea of ​​taking shortcuts and wanted to move into my house and inherit everything from me.

In addition, his temperament is also a bit too impetuous. Although his articles are clever, his impetuous temper cannot be calmed down at all. This is also reflected in his articles. So much so that when Mr. Mori saw the joke, I rejected him because I wanted to temper his temper and make him calm down. "

"I see." Aoki Song finally understood Ryutaro Tsukigata's thoughts.

There is no problem for a disciple to inherit everything from his teacher in Neon, or even in other places in the world.

But there is a premise here. The teacher voluntarily allows his disciples to inherit.

Ryutaro Tsukigata's approach cannot be said to be completely wrong, and it can even be said that many people of the older generation train their apprentices in this way.

Isn’t that what Neon loves?

It's like being an apprentice for more than ten years before opening a shop~

But Ryutaro Tsukigata may be because he is old, and the world is developing too fast to keep up with the thoughts of young people.

The reality is: the whole world is an impetuous world now!

Everyone wants to take shortcuts and get rich overnight. From then on, they don’t have to run around for life and have a lot of money every day.

Aoki Song had this idea before, so he had his dark history.

Obviously, Ryutaro Tsukigata's actions and rhetoric not only failed to calm Yuichi Kusaka's temper, but also made him hate Saruhashi Masaru.

Then this is interesting. Yuichi Kusaka, who hated Sarubashi, died instead.

Did Saruhashi Katsu strike first, or did Saruhashi Katsu kill Kusaka Yuichi on the spot?

"Tsukigata-sensei, may I ask, does Kusaka have a mobile phone?" Aoki Song asked again.

Ryutaro Tsukigata shook his head, "Probably not. I haven't seen him use it, and he hasn't called me on his cell phone. He usually uses a landline."

Aoki Song rolled his eyes when he heard this [There is no mobile phone, which is a good thing, then the phone number will be much easier to check. 】

At this time, Takagi Wataru's cell phone suddenly rang.

Takagi Wataru quickly connected, "I'm Takagi. Is...is that so?...Okay."

After closing the phone, Takagi Wataru said to Aoki Song on the side: "Aoki Police Department, this is the call from the forensic department. He said that the lighter beside Mr. Kusaka did not have the fingerprints of the deceased Kusaka."

Mouri Kogoro asked curiously at this time: "What is the lighter you are talking about?"

"We found such a lighter next to the body." Maruta Ayumi replied, and then took out two photos from his pocket and placed them on the table.

Everyone quickly looked at the photo.

At this glance, Ryutaro Tsukigata was shocked, "This... this lighter is the lighter I gave to Saruhashi as a souvenir."

"Hey!" Everyone present was shocked.

Mouri Kogoro smiled proudly upon hearing this, "Now, in addition to the motive, we also have all the physical evidence!"

Hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, Ryutaro Tsukigata said with some sadness: "Could it be...could it really be Saruhashi!"

Aokimatsu shook his head, "You can't draw any conclusions on this matter yet." As he spoke, Aokimatsu said to Ryutaro Tsukigata: "Teacher Tsukigata, please keep this matter confidential, especially don't contact Mr. Saruhashi."

"I understand." Ryutaro Tsukigata responded.

After saying that, Aoki Song was about to say goodbye and leave: "Teacher Tsukigata, I'm sorry to bother you this time. We're leaving now. If there are any new developments in the case, we will notify you."

Ryutaro Tsukigata looked uneasy and responded, "I'm sorry to bother you, I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen."

After copying the phone recording, Aoki Song, Mouri Kogoro and others walked out of Tsukigata's house.

After walking out of Tsukigata's house, Mouri Kogoro frowned and asked: "Aoki Police Department, do you think Saruhashi is not the murderer?"

"No, judging from the current situation, his suspicion is indeed high, but I always feel that there is something wrong here." Aoki Song said with a frown.

"What's the problem?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

Aoki Song looked at him and replied: "In the phone message just now, Tsukigata-sensei has clearly said that he will go home around nine o'clock. But why at eight-ten, Mr. Kusaka clearly knows that Tsukigata-sensei I wasn't at home at that time, but I had to call Tsukigata-sensei's home at Teito Station? And Tsukigata-sensei also said that he didn't have such a habit before."

"This is indeed strange." Maruta Ayumi said, and after thinking for a while, he added: "If the other party made the call on purpose, why did he make that call?"

Unlike others who were still thinking hard, Conan immediately realized after thinking about it, Kusaka Yuichi was thinking——

"Fake time!" Aoki Song announced the answer.

"Fake time." Takagi Wataru muttered after hearing this, and then his eyes widened. "Did he want to forge his alibi?"

Aoki Song nodded, "It's very possible."

"I just heard what Detective Mori said. Mr. Kusaka and Mr. Saruhashi had a dispute in order to be by Mr. Tsukigata's side. If nothing else, this was the motive for the murder.

But judging from the final result of this matter, Mr. Saruhashi should be the final winner, and Mr. Kusaka is the loser. But why would the winner kill the loser? Shouldn't it be Mr. Kusaka who wants to kill Mr. Saruhashi? "
