My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 582: Adults only care about interests

As for the lack of packaging, that is absolutely impossible.

Cyanide is highly toxic, so it is impossible for it to be without packaging.

Arriving at the tea room, Qing Musong asked, "How is it, did you find it?"

"No." Detective Shimizu replied.

"In the sewer?" Aoki Matsu asked again.

If they really wanted to murder someone, they would not put the cyanide packaging into the trash can. They would definitely throw it into the sewer.

"Looking for it." Detective Shimizu replied.

It’s not so easy to check the sewers, but it’s still possible if you’re willing.

Aoki Matsu nodded, then thought for a moment and ordered, "Maruta, go get Miss Inoue out. I have something to ask her alone."

"Yes!" Maruda Ayumi responded.

In another reception room, Aoki Matsu looked at Inoue Ryoko and said, "Ms. Inoue, based on the current situation, the only person who could have poisoned her is Mr. Xiangtian."

"Ah!" Inoue Ryoko was shocked when she heard this.

"It's hard to say that it was someone's act of killing without a specific target, so we think it might have been Mr. Koda who did it," Aoki Matsu explained.

"But at the moment we don't know the relationship between the two, and we don't know their motive yet. May I ask if you know what their relationship is like? Ms. Inoue, please don't hide it, otherwise you may be charged with harboring a criminal."

Inoue Ryoko's face turned pale when she heard this, then she thought for a moment and said, "The relationship between the two of them is not very good. The script of "Detective Mamu" was actually originally written by Mr. Yagami and Mr. Sakuma in turn.

Later, Mr. Xiangtian, who was a newcomer, came to me with a draft of the script as a loyal fan of the show. I read it and thought it was very exciting, so I asked him to join as the third screenwriter.

Mr. Sakuma always praised him highly, but Mr. Yagami hated him for some reason. Mr. Yagami asked me to kick Mr. Koda out of the show several times. "

"So does Mr. Xiangtian know about this?" asked Aoki Matsu.

Inoue Ryoko thought for a moment and said very carefully: "I think Mr. Xiangtian should feel it. I think he must be very uncomfortable."

"Why do you say that?" Qing Musong asked puzzledly.

"Because I still remember when I first met him, he said he wanted to write more scripts and increase his exposure. Mr. Koda has bet his entire future on "Detective Mamushiro," said Ryoko Inoue.

[Increase exposure and bet your future on "Detective Mamu"] Aoki Matsu thought of this and turned to look at Maruta Ayumi.

Maruta Ayumi said, "But Mr. Yagami insisted that Mr. Koda quit the crew. This might be the motive."

Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and asked, "Ms. Inoue, I would like to ask, if Mr. Yagami dies, will the show "Detective Mamu" be discontinued?"

Inoue Ryoko said, "I'm not sure what will happen to Detective Mamushi after what happened."

"What's your personal opinion?" Aoki Matsu asked.

Inoue Ryoko thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it will be completely suspended. At most it will be suspended for a period of time. After all, there are many viewers watching this show."

This is a program with high ratings, and it seems that it can continue to be produced and never stop broadcasting. No TV station will easily stop this program unless it touches on the bottom line.

"Can you give me the statistical table of "Detective Mamu", mainly the statistical table that shows which episode is responsible for which screenwriter." Aoki Matsu said.

"No problem." Inoue Ryoko agreed readily and quickly took the statistical sheet.

Aoki Matsu flipped through the scripts and found that most of the episodes were written by Ryouji Yagami and Akira Sakuma. The name of Tsuruo Koda only appeared from episode 99, but the frequency was not high. Basically, there was an episode written by Tsuruo Koda after five or six episodes.

As a "unworthy" detective, Aoki Matsuma's abilities are not as impressive as he appears, and his talents are not as strong as Conan and Hattori Heiji, but he still has some talent in this area, and is better than those police officers in the Koban.

But when Aoki Matsu has nothing to do, he will also work hard to enrich himself. As a popular series in the past five years, "Detective Mamu" has naturally been seen by Aoki Matsu. Some of the methods and motives of committing crimes in it are just like when Aoki Matsu watched "Detective Conan" before he traveled through time, highlighting an outrageous one.

It was because he had watched "Detective Mamushiro" that Aoki Matsu quickly discovered the problem. All the scripts written by Tsutomu Koda were of better quality than the other two scripts written in the same period.

[In other words, although Mr. Koda is full of talent, he has no opportunity to display it. This is the motive of this case.]

"Ms. Inoue, I would like to ask, does Mr. Koda's joining harm the interests of Mr. Yagami and Mr. Sakuma?" Aoki Matsu asked bluntly.

Inoue Ryoko didn't expect Aoki Matsu to ask so bluntly. She paused before speaking, "In a sense, it is true. The original script of "Detective Mamu" was proposed by Mr. Yagami, and Mr. Sakuma was invited by Mr. Yagami to perfect the program together.

So although they were both the main writers of the show, they actually split the number of scripts 60:40. TV dramas pay salaries based on the number of episodes in addition to the ratings. Mr. Koda will share both the fame and money when he joins "Detective Mamoru".

But Inoue Ryoko immediately said, "However, our program has been on the air for five years, and some of the methods of committing crimes have become routine and stale for readers. Mr. Koda's joining has revitalized "Detective Mamu" and the ratings have also increased. I invited Mr. Koda to join because I value his talent."

[I understand!] Aoki Matsu understood instantly.

The reason why Yagami Ryouji hated Toffee Koda so much was because Toffee Koda touched the cake he made and wanted to continue to share it. Yagami Ryouji was naturally unhappy and wanted to drive him away and not let him share the cake he made.

As for Inoue Ryoko and Sakuma Akira, whether because they are good-tempered people themselves or because they see the benefits that Tsuneo Koda brings, in short, their attitude towards Tsuneo Koda is pretty good.

but……

Aoki Matsu remembers a saying: Only children can distinguish between right and wrong, while adults only care about interests.

Tatsuo Koda is already 29 years old this year and has already reached adulthood.

Moreover, he has pinned his future on "Detective Mamushiro", so he must care more about benefits and not face issues, otherwise he would not be so active in pouring water.

In this case, as a newcomer who joined in halfway, what would Tsuyoshi Koda think when faced with the attitudes of Ryouji Yagami and Akira Sakuma towards him, which were alternately dislike and admiration?

Is it really so simple to think that Yagami Ryouji is a bad guy and Sakuma Akira is a good guy?

Although the cold-faced Yagami makes Er feel uncomfortable, it is understandable, after all, his own interests have been violated.

However, when facing the infringement of his interests, Sakuma Akira smiled, which is terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Praise in person and curse in private.

There are many people like this in society.

In this way, Tsuyoshi Koda felt that the person blocking his way might not be just Ryouji Yagami, but also Akira Sakuma.

What a villain, what a hypocrite!

Yagami Ryoji died, leaving only Sakuma Akira and him. On the surface, the two of them had a good relationship, so they would naturally cooperate happily from then on.

If Sakuma Akira died, with the speed at which "Detective Mamushi" is broadcast, Ryoji Yagami alone will not be able to write a better script. Even if Ryoji Yagami dislikes Tsurugi Koda, he still has to give Tsurugi Koda's scripts more opportunities to be produced.

Tatsuo Koda will also have the opportunity to increase his exposure.

So... this is the truth!

Aoki Matsu figured out the case.

Next comes the evidence.

Forensic detectives found paper containing cyanide in the sewer.

Because it is paper, fingerprints cannot be extracted from it, but cyanide residues can be detected.

For this, one has to admire that the murderer is a ruthless person.

You have to know that cyanide can be absorbed through breathing and skin. If it is wrapped in paper, if anything goes wrong and leaks out, the murderer himself will be the first person to come into contact with it.

However, Ms. Okada at the front desk provided one piece of information, which is that no one else entered the tea room after Mr. Koda left.

In this case, Tsuyoshi Koda is definitely the murderer!

After thinking for a while, Qing Musong ordered: "Check Mr. Xiangtian's bank account, and then check his phone, chat software, etc. to see if you can find any records of him buying cyanide."

"Yes!" Maruta Ayumi responded and immediately gave the order.

Before long, Tatsuo Koda's bank account transaction records, phone calls and chat records were all found.

Half a month ago, Tatsuo Koda withdrew a considerable amount of cash from his bank account. After comparing it with his monthly daily expenses, he determined that the money was extra expenditure.

In addition, although nothing was found in the chat records, in the phone records, an identical phone number suddenly appeared in the transaction records around two days after Tatsuo Koda withdrew cash from his bank account.

This phone number is most likely the seller from whom Tatsuo Koda purchased cyanide.

"Inspector." At this time, a police officer came over and said, "Inspector, Mr. Sakuma and Mr. Koda asked me to come over and ask, when can they leave?"

An afternoon has passed and it's almost time to get off work in the evening.

Although there is no hard evidence yet, these evidences are enough to show that Tsuyoshi Koda is a suspect.

So Aoki Song decided to blow up Xiangtian Dufu. If he confessed, everything would go well. Even if he did not confess, the current evidence was enough for Aoki Song to arrest him as a suspect.

However, it is difficult for the court to convict the person afterwards, and they have to continue looking for evidence, but they don’t have to worry about the other party escaping.

Therefore, Aoki Matsu came to the conference room and said to Inoue Ryoko and the other two, "We have found some clues and evidence. There were two people and two drinks at the scene. If the murderer's target is Mr. Yagami, we must ensure his death without accidentally injuring others.

No matter how I think about it, it is impossible to achieve 100% success under the circumstances at that time. So, I changed my way of thinking and thought, why must I determine that the murderer's target is Mr. Yagami?"

"Officer, what do you mean?" Sakuma was stunned for a moment and asked fearfully.

Aoki Matsu looked at Sakuma Akira and said, "It means that you have better luck than Mr. Yagami."

Then Aoki Matsu explained: "In this case, the person with the greatest suspicion is undoubtedly Mr. Koda who brewed the coffee and brought it into the room. However, if we want to suspect that Mr. Koda killed Mr. Yagami, we must first find a way to explain clearly how he made Mr. Yagami drink the poisoned coffee.

However, this kind of gambling on luck cannot be explained clearly. So why not change the way of thinking and think about it. If the method can be guessed wrong, why can't the target be guessed wrong?

If the murderer's target from the beginning was not Mr. Yagami, but the old screenwriter of the show "Detective Mamu" would be killed. If this is the explanation, everything makes perfect sense.

Whether Mr. Yagami or Mr. Sakuma died, with the frequency of the broadcast of the show "Detective Mamu", it is impossible for an old screenwriter to be busy. Then when the time comes, it is 100% certain that Mr. Koda will take over and become the official chief screenwriter. "

Sakuma Akira listened and glanced at Tsurugi Koda who was keeping his head down and silent. Then he looked at Aoki Matsu and said, "Officer, you mean that I am also his target and it is okay for me to drink the poisoned coffee?!"

Aoki Matsu nodded. "That's right. So there is no so-called trick in this case. For Mr. Koda, it doesn't matter who drank the poisoned coffee, Mr. Sakuma or Mr. Yagami. As long as one of you dies, it will be fine.

You two can't both die, because if you do, the show "Detective Mamu" might be cancelled. And if Ms. Inoue dies, there will be no one else to support him as the screenwriter of "Detective Mamu", so Mr. Koda deliberately brought a cup of non-toxic coffee to Ms. Inoue first. "

After listening to Aoki Matsu's explanation, Sakuma Akira looked at Tsurugi Koda with horror, as if he had never expected him to be such a person.

Inoue Ryoko couldn't believe it. "How could there be such a reason for murder?"

"Why not, Ms. Inoue? You told us yourself that Mr. Koda has staked his future on Detective Mamu. And judging by the quality and effect of the scripts he wrote, Mr. Koda is obviously more capable than Mr. Yagami and Mr. Sakuma.

A person with strength can only watch those who are not as good as him occupy more resources. Naturally, he will have the idea that he is not appreciated and that the other party is a roadblock. What will a person who feels that he is not appreciated and has strength do? The answer is self-evident. "Aoki Matsu explained.
