My neighbor's name is Conan

Maruta Ayumi looked at the small notebook and continued, "The person who discovered and nurtured him was none other than the victim, Ms. Umeda. Mr. Ishikawa who came with him was a photographer for the magazine. The other person who came with them, Ms. Nakamura Yoko, was a model."

At this time, Chiba Kazunobu and a man dressed in the costume of a Western medieval pirate captain came over from another room. Chiba Kazunobu said to Aoki Matsu, "Inspector Aoki, it seems that some rings and necklaces are missing from the victim's jewelry box."

"Just some, not all?" Aoki Matsu asked puzzledly.

Chiba and Shin nodded, "Yes."

Strange.

If it was a burglary, why didn't they just take everything?

What kind of thief would be kind enough to leave some behind?

At this time, the man next to him said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the young man we met took the things away?"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro became excited, looked at the other party and asked: "Why, did you witness the criminal?"

"When we arrived at the apartment, we saw a man rushing out as if he was escaping." The man replied: "It was almost five o'clock. We parked the car in the parking lot and were walking towards the gate when a man rushed over in a panic and bumped into Miss Yoko."

"I remember he was wearing a black leather jacket." The other party continued, "At that time, Ms. Yoko asked, 'Is he a thief?' I replied, 'I don't think so' and then joked, 'After all, he looks like a murderer.' Ms. Yoko immediately said, 'Mr. Kijima, don't talk nonsense.' At that time, Mr. Ishikawa also said, 'I was joking.'

Then the three of us found that the door of Editor-in-Chief Umeda's room was not locked. As it was the agreed time, we thought she had left it unlocked on purpose, so we opened the door and walked in. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the entrance hall, I saw footprints on the ground.

Seeing the footprints and the lights in the room were off, the three of us had a bad feeling, so we tiptoed in and found Editor-in-Chief Umeda lying on the floor in the living room.

I went to check and found that Editor-in-Chief Umeda was dead. I was about to call the police, but the phone line in the house was cut. Miss Yoko, Mr. Ishikawa and I didn't bring our cell phones.

We didn't know where Editor-in-Chief Umeda's cell phone was, so I suggested that Mr. Ishikawa and I go find the phone. But Mr. Ishikawa disagreed. He didn't want to leave Ms. Yoko here alone, so he asked me to stay, and he and Ms. Yoko went out to find the phone. "

After hearing what he said, Aoki Matsu knew that he was Kijima Minoru, and the other man in armor should be Ishikawa Jiro. The remaining lady was naturally Nakamura Yoko.

After Kijima finished speaking, Ishikawa Jiro continued, "We searched for a long time but couldn't find her. We finally got to the station and called the police."

"The Metropolitan Police Department received the report at 5:15, which means you were delayed for at least 15 minutes," said Aoki Matsu.

These 15 minutes were enough time for Minoru Kimura, who stayed at the scene alone, to do something.

The reason he thought this way was not because Aoki Matsu recalled the case, but because he was determined to doubt everyone without evidence.

There was no light in the room and the curtains were drawn, so the lighting in the room was dim and the body was lying on the ground.

Coincidentally, the person who went to check the body was Minoru Kijima.

There are so many places where people can make mistakes, and they are all Kijima Minoru, so how could Aoki Matsu not suspect him?

What’s more important is science!

Ke Xue told Aoki Matsu that this case was an everyday case, and the murderer would not be particularly difficult to find in everyday cases, so the murderer was most likely Kijima Minoru and the other two.

Then it is reasonable to suspect that the person most likely to have tampered with the matter is Minoru Kimura.

"Mr. Kijima, I would like to ask you three, why don't you bring your cell phones?" Aoki Matsu looked at the three people and asked.

Conan suddenly interrupted at this time: "Big sister, weren't you still using it just now?"

"Little brat, stop interrupting me!" Maori Kogoro scolded, then looked at Nakamura Yoko and said, "Actually, I was just about to ask you this question. When we met, I saw that you were still using your cell phones."

Yoko Nakamura quickly explained: "We left them at the place where we rented clothes just now."

Kijima Minoru also said, "Editor-in-Chief Umeda, she doesn't like mobile phones because they will be disturbed no matter where she is. Especially at a party, she will never allow anyone to bring a mobile phone to attend."

"She also reminded us repeatedly in emails that we are not allowed to bring mobile phones," Yoko Nakamura added.

"I see!" Maori Kogoro suddenly realized, but then he complained: "However, until about five years ago, public telephones were everywhere, but now it takes a long time to find one. It's really a strange era. Has it become more convenient or inconvenient?"

"Don't worry about those for now, it's important to investigate this case." Aoki Matsu interrupted the long speech that Maori Kogoro was about to make.

"Ahem!" Maori Kogoro immediately became serious after hearing this. "I don't know whether the murderer knew about it in advance or it was just a coincidence that he walked into the house through the unlocked door. Miss Umeda was so focused on preparing that she didn't notice the murderer had come in, and then she was killed by the murderer."

Aoki Matsu ignored Kogoro Mori and started checking.

The first thing was the tableware on the dining table. A fork and a spoon were placed randomly. Ms. Umeda must have been attacked from behind when she was arranging the tableware in this position.

Then Qing Musong looked at the footprints at the entrance again and found something wrong.

If someone came in through the front door, judging from this position, they would be facing the door sideways, which means that Ms. Umeda should be able to see the other person come in.

And then?

If you find a stranger coming in and wants to harm you, do you start running away?

She was then caught up by the murderer and strangled to death with a rope.

But there is another problem here. Looking around, there is no sign of struggle in the house.

Not to mention the tables and chairs falling to the ground, if you encounter a situation like "I run away and he chases me", you will definitely pick up something nearby and throw it at the other person, intending to slow down his speed.

And in Ms. Umeda's living room, there are many small gadgets like these that can be picked up and thrown away at will.

Thinking of this, Qing Musong looked at Kijima and the other two and asked, "Excuse me, is the room still the same as when you came in?"

Kijima Minoru replied, "That's right! Because I remembered how to deal with it in a TV mystery drama."

Has it really not changed?

The person who answered this question was precisely the person whom Aoki Matsu suspected the most in this regard.

At this time, Chiba Heshin suddenly brought in a man, who was still shouting in injustice, "I don't know, it's not me, I didn't do anything."

Everyone looked over subconsciously.

Then Nakamura Yoko's face changed. "It's him! It's him."

"Hmm?" Qing Musong looked at them.

Ishikawa Jiro said: "That's the man who rushed out of the apartment! It's him."

"What's going on with Chiba?" asked Aoki Matsu.

"I saw him sitting restlessly in the park in front of the station, so I approached him to ask him. Suddenly, he tried to run away, so I arrested him directly," explained Chiba Kazunobu.

The other person said with a speechless expression: "I don't know anything."

But Chiba Heshin had his reasons for bringing him to Aoki Matsu. Then Chiba Heshin took something out of his pocket, which was wrapped in a handkerchief. When he opened it, he saw that it was all jewelry. "This person is carrying these things."

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu said, "Chiba, show it to Mr. Kijima and the others. Maruta, compare it with his shoe prints."

"Yes!" Maruta Ayumi and Chiba Kazunobu responded, and then the two of them hurried away.

A conclusion was reached soon, and Maruta Ayumi said, "Inspector, even the wear on the soles of the shoes is completely consistent."

Kijima and the other two also confirmed that the jewelry in the handkerchief all belonged to Miss Umeda.

Yoko Nakamura also said that these jewelry pieces were Ms. Umeda's favorite.

This made Aoki Matsu feel something was wrong.

Who could steal the victim's favorite jewelry so accurately?

Naturally, there are only acquaintances, relatives and friends.

something wrong.

Not only that, the man captured by Chiba and Shin also has problems.

If he really did it, why didn't he run away but stayed in the park in front of the station? Isn't he a fool?

So, Qing Musong personally asked him, "Tell me everything you know. This is a case of burglary and murder. If you don't tell the truth, you will probably be regarded as the murderer. After all, evidence has been found on you, and your shoe prints match those left in the house."

After being told this by Qing Mu Song, the other party immediately backed down. "I came here because I accepted a commission from someone on the Internet. At that time, I happened to see this message with good conditions. The other party asked me to come to this place at five o'clock and take the jewelry on the table to the park in front of the station. This is the job content."

"Don't make up stories over there." Qianye Heshin didn't believe the other party's words at all, and said fiercely: "You must have done this for money."

"No!" The other party retorted loudly and excitedly: "When I got here, the clown was already dead. I ran away because I was afraid of being implicated."

Seeing this, Qing Musong said, "Since you said you accepted the commission on the Internet and left a message, there must be traces. Don't think that we can't find the traces on the Internet. I'll give you another chance. Are you sure you are not lying!"

"No, what I said is true. You can check it on LINE. You can tell that I am not lying." The other party replied.

Aoki Matsu smiled when he heard this. "LINE is affiliated with Forest Company. I know the president, Kashimura Tadaki. I will send someone to verify this matter immediately."

If you check other network software, there may still be problems, but there is definitely no problem with LINE! He still has 10% of the original shares.

"I didn't lie. You can check it if you want. I'm just afraid that you won't check it." The other party said this very firmly, without any guilt at all.

After thinking for a while, Qing Musong asked: "When did you receive this commission?"

"10 a.m." the other party replied.

Afterwards, Aoki Matsu asked someone to keep an eye on the unlucky guy named Shimizu Masataka, and sent people to the forest company, and then searched the house personally.

In this case, the murderer was quite clever, and he was also able to find a scapegoat. Generally speaking, the murderer's cleverness lies in the method of committing the crime. But this murderer's method of committing the crime was not clever, but he was quite clever in what happened after the meal.

Then some things are not certain, such as the time of death.

As we all know, many small movements can be made on a corpse, which can interfere with the determination of the time of death.

For example, turning on the heating can accelerate the stiffness of the corpse!

For example, turning on the air conditioner can slow down the stiffness of the corpse!

There are even freezers.

The murderer asked the man named Masataka Shimizu to come at five o'clock, but the time of death determined by the forensic examination was after four-thirty.

It took at most half an hour to kill people.

enough?

There were no signs of being tied up on Miss Umeda's body, and a blood test showed no signs of taking sleeping pills.

In other words, when the murderer killed Ms. Umeda, she was conscious, her hands and feet were not tied, and she was able to resist.

Perhaps because of their gender, they are naturally lacking in strength, but when faced with a life-and-death situation, they will definitely resist subconsciously. It has nothing to do with strength.

What if Miss Umeda’s little universe explodes and delays for a long time?

Doesn’t the murderer give himself a little more time?

Thinking about it this way, Qing Musong felt more and more that there was something wrong with the time of death.

But in this kind of situation, unless the forensic doctor performs an autopsy, Aoki Matsu will have to find other evidence, and it is not enough for him to say it.

Qing Musong searched the living room but found nothing, and no signs of struggle or resistance.

Then he went to the kitchen, and it looked like something was stewing, because there was a big pot on the stove.

Aoki Matsu opened the lid of the pot carefully and looked inside, and saw that it was stewed beef.

but……

Qing Mu Song found that the beef stew in the pot seemed not to be cooked well. Thinking of this, Qing Mu Song touched the pot.

【It’s cold.】

This is a bit strange, because beef stew tastes best when it is hot. And it takes at least an hour for such a large stew pot to cool down completely.

The meat was not cooked yet and the fire went out.

Then he checked the switch carefully again and found that it was pointing to a low fire and not to the normal off-fire position.

This……

If it was in his previous life, Qing Mu Song would definitely be confused. But after traveling to Japan and living there for so many years, Qing Mu Song reacted immediately.

The gas furnace has an earthquake sensor, and it will automatically shut down if the earthquake exceeds level three.

Japan is a country with a high incidence of earthquakes, with small tremors occurring constantly, so many things are designed to be earthquake-proof.

Includes gas stove.
