My neighbor's name is Conan

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Nakamori Ginzo and asked, "Have you found out about the power outage?"

Nakamori Ginzo immediately replied, "He used a timer to let several high-voltage home appliances come in at the same time to deliberately break the fuse. If we had searched more carefully, we should have discovered it in advance. But Mr. Oikawa only received the advance notice yesterday morning, and we received the notification last night."

"In other words, he sent the notice letter only after he had prepared everything, right?" said Kogoro Mouri.

"That should be the case." Nakamori Ginzo responded.

Aoki Matsu continued to examine the body, and then he discovered that there was a <-shaped bloodstain on the chest of Kanhara Haruhito's sweater. In addition, there was an oval mark left at the base of his left thumb.

I looked at the bloodstains carefully.

This is probably because when Kanhara Haruhito's neck was cut by a knife, his left hand was bent on his chest, which resulted in that shape.

As for the mark on the thumb, Qingmu Song couldn't figure out how it was caused for a while.

In addition, Aoki Matsu also found a walkie-talkie in Haruhito Kanhara's pocket.

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Nakamori Ginzo in surprise and asked, "Why is there a walkie-talkie in Mr. Kanhara's pocket?"

"Ah, that's the one I took from the detective earlier." Oikawa Takeyori quickly explained, "When my father came in, he snatched the intercom away. He said no one could stop him, so I left the room to find the inspector."

Qing Musong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Aoki Matsu still hasn't recalled anything about this case, but it was definitely not done by Touko-san.

Since it wasn't done by Douzi, and it's a case he can't remember at all, there must be some strange method used to commit the crime.

Therefore——Oikawa Takeyori is a big suspect!

Especially before the victim entered the studio, Takeyori Iikawa stayed inside for a full ten minutes, which was enough time for him to "design" and "arrange" some mechanisms.

Then Aoki Matsu looked at the window again.

Nakamori Ginzo explained, "Before, in order to prevent him from entering the house from outside, we did not turn on the lights in the windows, because we were afraid that doing so would be equivalent to telling him which room the painting was in."

"I understand." Aoki Matsu nodded.

In fact, what Ginzo Nakamori did was indeed correct, but after someone was killed, the arrangement seemed a bit stupid.

"All we have now are these two pen holders and two large piles of pens that fell from the window when the murderer escaped," said Ginzo Nakamori.

Aoki Matsu then asked the police officer in charge of the monitoring equipment to play the surveillance video that had just been recorded for him to watch again.

After a while, the other party said, "Inspector Aoki, this is from the studio's surveillance camera. The footage is now available. This was taken an hour before the incident. This is when Mr. Ikawa had just finished checking the painting. This is after the power was restored."

Aoki Matsu looked at it, then looked at Oikawa Takeyori and said, "Mr. Kanhara came in after you checked the painting, Mr. Oikawa, right?"

Iikawa Takerai nodded: "Yes, he said he didn't trust the police and detectives, and wanted to protect the painting himself, because he was really a stubborn person, no matter how much I said, he refused to come out, and even snatched the walkie-talkie.

So I wanted to find the police officer and talk to him, and I locked the door for safety. When I was about to find the police officer, the power went out. Because my father didn't answer, I was very panicked and wanted to open the lock, but I accidentally lost the key. "

At this time, Maori Kogoro said: "But there is also this possibility, isn't it? When the power went out, Mr. Kanhara wanted to paint and it would be taken away, so he hid it. There are many cabinets in the studio to store easels, right?"

Upon hearing this, Oikawa Takeyori immediately replied, "That's impossible. In order to prevent the possibility that Kaito Kidd really comes in, I want to reduce the number of places where he can hide as much as possible, so I locked all the cabinets where the easels are placed before checking the paintings."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong asked, "What about the key?"

Oikawa Takeyori replied, "It was chained together with the studio key and fell off during the power outage. I think I found it in the corner of the corridor later. Now it is in the hands of the criminal."

Maori Kogoro guessed again after hearing this: "Then is it possible that someone sneaked into the studio during the blackout?"

Nakamori Ginzo shook his head. "That's impossible, because before the power outage, the police officers guarding the door confirmed that both doors were locked."

Maori Kogoro still did not give up and said: "But unlocking the door is a piece of cake for Kaito Kid."

Nakamori Ginzo continued to refute: "I told those mobile team members before that if there is a power outage, they must hold the door handle and not let go. I also asked them afterwards, and they all did what I said."

"So when the power went out, the murderer who was hiding on the ceiling came down into the studio, killed Mr. Kanhara who was at the head of the room, then took the painting and ran out. This is probably a fact that is hard to deny," said Detective Kobayashi, Ginzo Nakamori's subordinate.

Nakamori Ginzo frowned when he heard this: "Is this really what Kaito Kidd did?"

He was a little bit unconvinced. He had been tracking down Kaito Kid for so many years and had never encountered a situation where Kaito Kid killed anyone.

Aoki Matsu said: "It's really hard to say at the moment. After all, Kaito Kidd has never killed anyone in the past."

Maori Kogoro held his chin and said, "But maybe he has finally gone crazy?"

"Dad, why do you describe Kaito Kid as so cold-blooded?" asked Ran Mouri.

"Do I need to explain why? Kaito Kid is a big thief and the enemy of the police." Kogoro Mouri said in confusion.

Qing Musong shook his head. "It's not just the murder, there's also the notice letter, there are also doubts."

"What's suspicious?" asked Kogoro Mouri curiously.

"That Kaito Kidd would add a pattern to the preview letter. Kaito Kidd basically draws a new one every time he wants to use it. Those who imitate Kaito Kidd either copy the patterns published in the news or newspapers, or trace them, so it is easy to identify.

But according to the Second Division of Inspector Nakamori, this time it was neither a copy nor a trace, the lines were new and very similar, so everyone thought it was really him. But the problem is that the riddle above is too simple, it is not the style of Kaito Kid at all. "

"The riddle is too simple?" Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, compared to the riddles in the previous preview letters, this riddle is indeed very simple."

Upon hearing this, Conan couldn't help but say, "So, it is very likely that someone who is very good at drawing is pretending to be Kid, right? For example, a cartoonist, illustrator, or painter." Having said that, Conan looked at Takeyori Oikawa.

Oikawa Takeyori panicked when he heard this.

Mao Lilan, who was standing by, heard it and quickly shouted, "Conan!"

Conan pretended to be a child and pouted, "I'm just assuming!"

Oikawa Takeyori had calmed down by now, looked at Conan and said, "Although I am not very good at drawing that kind of comic-style things, from the perspective of an expert in drawing, I think that the notice letter should be real."

Conan looked at Takeyori Ikawa meaningfully, and then pretended to be a child and said, "I think so too. It's all because of Kaito Kid. That guy is a bad guy."

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Oikawa Takerai squatted down, touched Conan's little head and said, "Then you have to use your brain to help us catch the bad guy."

Oikawa Takeyori had no idea that he had been suspected by Conan.

"Yeah!" Conan nodded heavily.

Then Aoki Matsu walked to the door and asked about the situation of the mobile team member who had been guarding the door.

Aoki Matsu looked at the others and asked, "Did you see Mr. Kanhara's expression before he entered the studio?"

One of the detectives replied, "While Mr. Oikawa was checking the painting, Mr. Kanhara stood silently in front of us with no expression on his face. He waited until Mr. Oikawa finished checking and the door was opened before entering.

After that, Mr. Ishikawa and Mr. Kanhara stayed in the studio for about a minute or two. Maybe they brought it up after they got inside. Of course, we tried to stop Mr. Kanhara from going in, but Mr. Ishikawa said it wouldn't take too long.

No one expected that Mr. Kanhara would insist on staying in the studio and not wanting to come out, and no one expected that there would be a power outage afterwards, and the criminal hiding in the ceiling would steal the painting and kill Mr. Kanhara. "

After hearing this, Aoki Matsu immediately noticed the details. "You mean, Mr. Oikawa and Mr. Kanhara were alone in the studio for two or three minutes?"

Two or three minutes is enough to kill someone.

"Yes." the other party replied.

"Then Mr. Iikawa, who left Mr. Kanhara inside and came out by himself, did he have any abnormalities, such as blood on his clothes or something?" Aoki Matsu asked immediately.

The other party shook his head and said, "No, there was no blood on Mr. Ishikawa's body at that time." They were not so blind.

[Did he take off his clothes to kill? Or did he put his clothes on inside out before killing? Or was there another identical piece of clothing in the studio?]

Aoki Matsu guessed in his heart.

[It seems that I need to find an excuse to search Takera Ichikawa. ]

He is a victim now. It will have a bad impact if we search him without finding a reason. At least we have to find an explanation to fool people.

Then Aoki Matsu continued to ask: "I remember that Mr. Ishikawa seemed to have said something to you over there at the door while he was checking the painting, right?"

The other party nodded and replied, "Yes, he came to talk to me. He asked me to secretly check to see if the police had really cut off the surveillance footage. He opened the door a little bit and whispered to me, so I went alone to confirm it and knocked on the door twice to let him know."

Aoki Matsu frowned when he heard this, walked into the room, looked at Oikawa Takerai and asked, "Mr. Oikawa, why didn't you ask him to tell you directly at that time."

Upon hearing this, Oikawa Takeyori quickly said, "I have explained the reason before, because I don't want others to peek through the crack of the door before the painting is completed."

"That's right, Mr. Ishikawa kept emphasizing that you shouldn't look at him," the detective guarding the gate added.

Aoki Matsu seemed to be thinking about what he heard, then he said something to Nakamori Ginzo and the others, then went downstairs to the outside of the villa, under the studio window.

Then he asked the mobile team members guarding there, "Is there anything else that fell from the studio window?"

One of the criminals replied: "It seems that all we found was a pen holder and a lot of paintbrushes."

“By the way, we actually found fishing lines like this.” Another criminal said, holding a roll of fishing line.

Fishing line!

Isn’t this the veteran actor Ke Xue?

Qing Musong said unhappily: "Such an important clue, why didn't you report it?"

"Because there's a lake nearby where you can fish, my guess is that it was dropped here by a fisherman, and..." The other party's voice became smaller and smaller.

"I..." I have a thousand damn dirty words I want to say.

Aoki Matsu rubbed his forehead, and he suddenly understood why Nakamori Ginzo couldn't catch Kaito Kid. It was not because Kaito Kid was too powerful, but because his subordinates were too useless.

What kind of subordinates are they!

I didn't even know to report it proactively.

He would not tell it until Qing Musong asked him.

It is in stark contrast to the criminal investigation department.

Everyone says that the criminals in the Investigation Division are useless, but I didn’t expect there are even more useless ones.

Taking a deep breath, Qing Musong took the fishing line from the other party and said, "You may not know that fishing line is often used by murderers as an important prop to set up murder traps. If you find fishing line at the scene in the future, you must report it immediately, instead of assuming that 'you think'..."

"Yes!" the other party responded quickly.

Aoki Matsu lowered his head and checked the fishing line in his hand.

It is about seven meters long, with a ring on one end and a deformed iron fishing hook on the other.

[No doubt, this must be something used by the criminal! ]

Aoki Matsu thought about the situation at that time. The pen holder on the window was knocked over. It must be because of the fishing line!

In this case, there must be a heavy object under the fishing line.

Qing Musong asked for a flashlight and started searching on the ground directly opposite the window.

He no longer trusts the people in Investigation Section 2, so he does everything himself.

After searching on the ground, Qing Musong quickly found a 15-centimeter-long stone with a small hole in the center.

[I have cracked the mechanism that knocked down the pen holder. Now all I need is Oikawa Takeyori's killing method! ]

[If I were Takera Ikawa, I would definitely not have any hope. The police would have been suspicious just because the two of us stayed alone in the studio for two or three minutes. How could I have escaped the police's suspicion?]
