My neighbor's name is Conan

Upon hearing this, Shimazaki Yasunori quickly said, "Tono chose to join our company that specializes in mystery books because he admires Mr. Saikawa's works. This time, Tono is also in charge of coordinating Mr. Saikawa's collection of works."

[Then he is even more suspicious! ]

Do you understand what it means to turn love into hate?

There are such cases in science.

And the greater the admirer, the more heartbroken he or she may be when he or she meets his or her "idol" in real life.

He felt that the other person was no longer the "God" in his heart, and that he had simply defiled the God in his heart. Then, in a rage...

After all, there were two things on the Internet in my previous life that could prove this point:

1. Old man Qingshan knows nothing about hot-blooded comics.

2. Rowling is Rowling, and Harry Potter is Harry Potter. Rowling knows nothing about magic.

Qing Musong complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just nodded and said, "I understand."

Then Shimazaki Yasunori continued: "Have you ever heard of Mr. Saikawa?"

Is this something that is going to be revealed?

Aoki Songdian gave Aihara Yoji a look, and Aihara Yoji understood and shook his head, saying, "I didn't know until the incident happened."

Shimazaki Yasunori said with some sadness: "Teacher Saikawa is now almost a forgotten writer! But Tono actually said that this is why the collection of his works should be published.

I said, "People really don't know how great Teacher Qichuan is. Her unique techniques and complete structure, I hope everyone in Japan can see her." To be honest, I don't think this collection of works can be sold.

Our company's operating conditions have actually been very difficult, and publishing a collection of works that is unlikely to sell well would be a double whammy for us. But I still think it doesn't matter if it is like this, I was moved by his idea of ​​wanting to do something to make the teacher happy before she died. "At this point, Shimazaki Yasunobu looked at editor Tono.

Qing Musong keenly noticed the key point in the words: "Before death?"

Editor Tono said with a sad face: "The doctor has officially announced to the teacher that she only has half a year left to live."

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"So if Mr. Saikawa dies, he will be the one who will be more unwilling than anyone else." Shimazaki Yasunori looked at Aoki Matsu and said.

That's indeed true.

But...what if Qichuancun died in an outrageous way?

At least the media will report related news every day!

This is a huge publicity boost for Qichuan Village. At least on that day people will remember her.

If the way of death is particularly outrageous, it will be talked about for years.

This gives rise to two possibilities.

The first possibility is that Saikawamura knew that he would soon die, so like Shinmei Rentaro, he decided to be willful and do something big before he died, to fulfill his wish and make everyone remember his achievements.

As for what happens afterwards, I’m going to die anyway, so why bother doing anything afterwards.

The second possibility is that the people at the publishing house committed murder for money in order to sell the collection well and improve the financial situation of their own company.

In his previous life, Aoki Matsu had heard that after a superstar in the music industry died, his company earned $5 million in the following year.

At this time, Aoki Matsu's phone rang. "Excuse me." Aoki Matsu nodded to Shimazaki Yasunori, then picked up the phone. "It's Aoki. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Thank you for troubling you."

After Aoki Matsu hung up the phone, he looked at Shimazaki Yasunobu and editor Tono and said, "Mr. Shimazaki, I understand how you feel, but I'm sorry that you can't leave here now."

Shimazaki Yasunori was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted, "Officer, what do you mean? You suspect we are the murderer."

"I can't tell you the specific situation now, but we have indeed found some information that is unfavorable to you, so please stay here and cooperate with our work." Aoki Matsu said with a cold face. After that, Aoki Matsu stood up and walked outside, and asked two police officers to stay and watch the two men.

After Aoki Matsu left the room, Mouri Kogoro and Aihara Yoji hurriedly followed, and Conan also followed Mouri Kogoro.

"Inspector, have you found any new clues?" asked Yoji Aihara.

Aoki Matsu nodded. "I just received a call from the Forensic Department. The autopsy has been completed. Used rice and raw seafood were found in the stomach of the body. In addition, the time of the murder was estimated to be about an hour after the meal. But..."

When everyone heard the word "but", they immediately pricked up their ears, knowing that the point was coming.

"Among those raw seafoods, there are squid and octopus. However, the sushi chef forgot to add squid and octopus to the sushi delivered here yesterday. In other words, the sushi that Mr. Qichuan ate last night was not the one delivered at 8 o'clock." Aoki Matsu said.

Upon hearing this, Aihara Yoji immediately said, "So Mr. Tono is lying!"

"That's right!" Qing Musong nodded, and then immediately assigned the task.

Search the trash cans along the road from Pearl Apartment to the izakaya, and also check the stores near Editor Tono's house to here to see if Yoji Aihara went to buy sushi today and yesterday.

Finally,

"Go to the newspaper vendor and buy all the newspapers that report Mr. Qichuan's death today." Aoki Matsu ordered.

Conan was shocked when he heard this, and then looked at Aoki Matsu with complicated eyes.

He also identified editor Toono as the murderer, but he had not yet figured out the reason for the murder. Unexpectedly, Aoki Matsu had already guessed it.

He had tried hard, but still failed to surpass Aoki Matsu. Conan felt a little frustrated, but more excited.

It seems that he needs to work harder.

At this time, Maruta Ayumi suddenly walked in with a courier. "Inspector, I just asked him, and he said that he happened to see Mr. Murata coming to Mr. Saikawa's place last night."

Qing Musong was stunned when he heard this, but then he asked, "Can you tell me more about this?"

The courier nodded. "Okay. Last night, I had something to deliver at a specific time, so when I came here to deliver the goods, I saw the administrator, Mr. Murata, standing there and ringing the doorbell. When he saw me, he left in a hurry. I remember it was around nine o'clock."

Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and asked, "Has Mr. Murata already rung the doorbell, or is he raising his hand?"

"It rang. That's right. I heard the sound and looked over subconsciously." The courier replied.

"I understand." Aoki Matsu nodded, then looked at Maruta Ayumi and said, "Go call Mr. Murata over."

Mr. Murata seemed to have drunk a lot. Although he was in a drunken state, he obviously still remembered what happened last night. When Aoki Matsu asked him, he confessed, "I just couldn't help but have a couple of drinks, and then that old lady Saikawa accidentally saw me drinking in broad daylight.

She actually said she was going to tell the management company. What a joke! If that happened, I would definitely be fired! So last night, I went to her and begged her to let me go and give me another chance.

But that old woman, no matter how long I rang the doorbell, she never came out to answer the door! If you really doubt me, then show me the evidence! I want... evidence..." At this point, Mr. Murata seemed to be a little overwhelmed and actually got up and left.

"Inspector..." Maruta Ayumi looked at Aoki Matsu.

Qing Musong shook his head, "It shouldn't be him, but he even dared to get drunk while our police were investigating a case here and told the management company about it."

Aoki Matsu is also a petty person.

It’s no wonder that Qichuan Village went to file a complaint. Mr. Murata did go a bit too far.

"The smell of alcohol is so strong, I think we should let some air circulate." Aihara Yoji said as he stood up and opened the window.

At this time, the police officer who went to buy newspapers came back and took several newspapers and placed them in front of Aoki Song. "Inspector, these are the newspapers reporting the murder of Mr. Saikawa."

"Yeah." Qing Musong nodded, picked it up and looked at it.

Maori Kogoro also came over to take a look, and then complained: "It's too much plagiarism."

Aihara Yoji complained: "What do you mean by a crime warning from a character in a work? It seems that Mr. Tono and the others have spread the news, including the postcard incident."

Maruta Ayumi said unhappily: "This is clearly a secret of the case!"

Qing Musong smiled when he heard this and said, "This should be the murderer's purpose."

After waiting for a while, Maruta Ayumi came in with a police officer. "Inspector, we found it. We found the key in a package of sushi, and we also extracted Mr. Tono's fingerprints from it. There was no squid or octopus in the package of sushi."

"Okay, go call Mr. Tono and the other guy." Aoki Matsu responded.

After Shimazaki Yasunori and editor Toono came over, Aoki Matsu looked at them and said, "Mr. Toono, you are the murderer of Mr. Saikawa."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Editor Toono retorted subconsciously.

Shimazaki Yasunori also echoed, "Tono, how could he possibly kill Mr. Saikawa? He admires Mr. Saikawa the most."

"No, you are wrong. Mr. Tono does not admire Mr. Saikawa himself, but Mr. Saikawa's book." Aoki Matsu looked at the two and said, "Mr. Tono, you should have bought a portion of sushi as a souvenir for Mr. Saikawa when you came here at 6:30.

After Teacher Qichuan ate it, he killed her with the 100 million breakthrough commemorative trophy displayed in Teacher Qichuan's room. Then, according to Teacher Qichuan's habit, he called the sushi restaurant she often ate to order a portion of sushi, and then the sushi restaurant delivered the sushi at eight o'clock.

The sushi that was delivered at 8 o'clock was packed in a plastic bag by Mr. Tono. Then he took out the spare key he had prepared in advance and locked the door after leaving to prevent Mr. Saikawa's body from being discovered too early.

Then, on the way to the pub, he disposed of the package of sushi and the spare key, creating an alibi for after 8:15. Even if the time of the murder was known through a forensic autopsy, the conclusion would still be that it was an hour after the sushi was eaten.

In this way, Mr. Tono successfully created a dark scene, making everyone think that the sushi that Teacher Saikawa ate was delivered by the sushi restaurant at 8 o'clock, and 9 o'clock was the time she was killed. Therefore, he created an alibi for himself and excluded himself from the suspect range. "

Editor Tono sat there with his head down and said nothing. Instead, Shimazaki Yasunori stood up and said excitedly, "Wait a minute, officer..."

"Don't worry, since I said Mr. Toono is the murderer, I naturally have evidence." Aoki Matsu said to the two of them with a stern face.

"Mr. Tono, I have to say that your plan was very good. You used the forensic autopsy that was originally used to help solve the case, and it became your alibi evidence. But after you killed someone, you made a mistake in your haste, and that was pickled red ginger."

Editor Tono's expression finally changed when he heard this. He was no longer as gentle and refined as before, and gave people the feeling of a white lotus + a little bottom.

"In the sink, if that was the pickled ginger that came with the sushi that was delivered last night, it should have dried up long ago. But those are still so tender and juicy. I think you were in a hurry to deal with the takeout sushi last night and accidentally threw away the pickled ginger.

When I went home to review the situation, I discovered this, so I quickly took remedial measures. I bought sushi early one morning, took out the pickled red ginger, came here, asked Mr. Murata to open the door, and put the pickled red ginger in the sink when he was not paying attention, right? "

"Please stop talking nonsense. What do you mean by souvenir sushi?" Editor Tono couldn't help but stand up and yelled at Aoki Matsu, "Of course the sushi that the teacher ate was the sushi that was delivered at 8 o'clock!"

"You may not know, but the chef of the sushi restaurant said that he was too busy yesterday, so he forgot to put squid and octopus, Ms. Qichuan's favorite food, in the sushi she ordered. You probably didn't expect this to happen, so the sushi you brought had squid and octopus.

After the forensic autopsy of Teacher Qichuan's body, squid and octopus were found in her stomach, so the sushi she ate was naturally not the one delivered at 8 o'clock. You originally wanted to use the forensic autopsy, but you still failed in the forensic autopsy.

In addition, I had someone search the road from the apartment to the pub, and found the sushi and spare key that you dropped on the road last night, and your fingerprint was extracted from the spare key. "

Aoki Matsu looked at editor Tono and said, "I remember that the murderer in Mr. Saikawa's work confessed his guilt very straightforwardly when he was forced to the last minute. Mr. Tono, are you still not confessing your guilt?"

Editor Tono didn't expect that Aoki Matsu had found out everything, so he stood there with his head down and said nothing.

Upon hearing this, Shimazaki Yasunori could not help but stand up, looked at editor Toono with confusion and heartache, and asked angrily: "Why, tell me why, Toono! Why did you do this?"
