My neighbor's name is Conan

"What about Miss Midorikawa?" asked Aoki Matsu.

Kogoro Mouri talked for a long time but didn't mention Midorikawa Kurara's expression.

Hearing Aoki Matsu's question, Maori Kogoro scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I was too focused on drinking at the time and didn't notice Miss Kulala's whereabouts."

After finishing the embarrassing story, Maori Kogoro said seriously: "But when I went to the bathroom at around 5 o'clock, I seemed to see her coming down from the second floor."

"Wait!" After hearing this, Qing Musong suddenly realized that there was something wrong.

After writing something in the notebook and sorting out his thoughts, Aoki Matsu looked at Maori Kogoro and asked, "Detective Maori, if it is according to your statement, the time should be: after you and Teacher Lihua came back from taking pictures outside, it was about 4 o'clock.

Then, although Teacher Lihua told you that she could tell fortunes for you, she asked you to wait in the living room for an hour, and asked Miss Midorikawa to go to the studio on the second floor to find her at 5 o'clock. So in fact, Teacher Lihua should tell fortunes for Miss Midorikawa first, and then tell fortunes for you, right! "

Maori Kogoro thought about it and nodded, "That's right!"

faint!

Qing Musong curled his lips when he heard this.

This is the art of language. The previous statements by Maori Kogoro and others were a bit misleading. I thought that the order in which Teacher Lihua told fortunes for people was: Maori Kogoro first, then Midorikawa Kurara.

This gave many people the illusion that there was something wrong with Midorikawa Kurara coming down from the second floor around 5 o'clock.

After determining the exact timeline, Aoki Matsu noticed the loophole.

Zi Tiao Lihua left the living room around 4 to 5 o'clock and went to the studio on the second floor.

At the same time, Shiraishi Yuka and Katsuragi Kensuke entered the conference room and talked for 2-3 minutes. Katsuragi Kensuke then stayed in the conference room for a while and came out at 5 o'clock.

At 5 o'clock, when Midorikawa Kurara went to the second floor and knocked on the door, no one responded. Shijo Reika suspected that she had died by then.

Write down everyone's timeline in a small notebook so that everything is clear at a glance in black and white.

When Kensuke Katsuragi was alone in the meeting room, there was no witness from 5 o'clock until o'clock. He was alone in the meeting room on the first floor with windows facing the outside.

This period of time happened to be the time of Zi Tiao Lihua's death.

Alas, in this situation, who else could Aoki Matsu suspect if not Kensuke Katsuragi?

However, from a strict point of view, during that period of time, Tamura Masao was sitting in the living room with Mori Kogoro, and Shiraishi Yuka was in the kitchen with Mori Ran, and the two had clear alibis.

But Midorikawa Kurara really didn't, because Mouri Kogoro didn't see her.

So Aoki Matsu looked at Mao Lilan and Conan and asked: "Ran, Conan, have you seen Miss Midorikawa?"

Mao Lilan shook her head "No, I came down after asking Miss Lihua, and then went to the kitchen to help Miss Youhua."

Conan also shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I went outside the villa to see the scenery."

He indeed did not notice Midorikawa Kurara.

However, it is because Conan is not in the villa that he can see the red-edged blue-tailed bird on the roof of the studio.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

After hearing this, Aoki Matsu turned his attention back to Maori Kogoro. "Detective Maori, can you tell me what happened next?"

"After that, Miss Youhua prepared dinner, and Xiaolan went upstairs to call Teacher Lihua, but no one opened the door or answered, so Xiaolan returned to the restaurant to tell us about it. I wondered if Teacher Lihua had fallen asleep.

But Mr. Katsuragi said that there were guests waiting for her for dinner, and Teacher Lihua couldn't do that, so she went to check it out in advance and asked me to go with her. Then I, Mr. Katsuragi, Mr. Tamura, Miss Kulala, Xiaolan, and Conan all went to the second floor.

It was Mr. Katsuragi who knocked on the door. He knocked several times, but no one answered and no one came to open the door. Conan went up and tried the door handle, but found that the door was locked. Mr. Katsuragi was worried that something might happen, so he suggested going to the balcony outside to take a look.

I agreed, and then I, Mr. Katsuragi, Mr. Tamura, and Conan opened the door to the balcony and walked out to the balcony. Looking inside through the studio window, we found that Teacher Lihua was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and there was a pool of blood under her chest. We were all shocked at the time.

I tried to open the window, but the balcony window was completely closed. Mr. Katsuragi said the skylight could be opened, so he climbed up to take a look and asked Mr. Tamura to guard the door. After that, Mr. Katsuragi took off his coat and climbed up.

Aoki Matsu couldn't help asking, "Detective Maori, why didn't you go through the front door? Even if the front door was a security door, you and Xiaolan could have opened it with force. And you probably didn't know there was only one key to the front door, so why didn't you go find a spare key?"

Maori Kogoro scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this. "I was stunned because I saw that Teacher Lihua might be killed. I didn't react. By the time I reacted, Mr. Katsuragi had already climbed up, so I couldn't say anything more."

He was really shocked at that time.

Normally, in this kind of scene, it would be Kogoro Mouri, as the famous detective, who gave the orders, but this time it was Kensuke Katsuragi who gave the orders.

Aoki Matsu didn't say anything about this. After all, Maori Kogoro was a human being, and it was normal for him to lose his concentration occasionally. Then he asked, "And then!"

Maori Kogoro continued, "Then I saw Mr. Katsuragi climb up, so I told him to open the door immediately after he went in so that we could go in and see how Lihua was doing. After Mr. Katsuragi climbed up to the skylight, he broke the skylight glass with one foot and then jumped out of the skylight.

After Mr. Katsuragi landed, he quickly picked up the door key on the ground and opened the door. I saw him open the door and then ran back here from the balcony. When I came in, I saw Mr. Katsuragi kneeling beside Teacher Lihua, shouting Teacher Lihua's name. But by that time, Teacher Lihua was already dead. "

Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and asked, "Detective Mori, Mr. Katsuragi jumped down from the skylight, picked up the gate key on the ground and opened the gate. You said 'quickly'. Did he take a look at it and pick it up? And it happened to be the gate key, so he opened the gate directly. Or did he pick up the key and try it several times?"

"After taking a look, he directly picked up a key from the ground and opened the door without trying several times." replied Kogoro Mouri.

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at the "pile of keys" on the ground and said, "That's strange. How did Mr. Katsuragi find the key to the front door accurately from among these keys that looked exactly the same except for the different gems on the keychains?"

"Maybe he knows what the key chain that holds the gate key looks like," Kogoro Mouri speculated.

"Impossible!" Conan interrupted at this time: "Just now, Xiaolan said that she found her before Lihua teacher entered the studio, and Lihua teacher gave the key chain to Xiaolan sister as a talisman. After that, Mr. Katsuragi was in the living room and reception room. He should not know about this, and he doesn't know that Lihua teacher changed a key chain."

"But he was able to accurately pick up the correct key without any hesitation, which means that he knew which key was the key to the front door. But according to common sense, he shouldn't know that. So there is only one possibility, that is, he is the murderer!"

Qing Mu Song followed Conan's words and said: "He should have taken advantage of the fact that he was alone in the living room, climbed out of the room through the window, came to Teacher Lihua's studio, and killed Teacher Lihua."

"Why did he want to kill Teacher Lihua?" asked Mao Lilan in confusion.

Aoki Matsu shook his head. "I don't know the reason either, but if what Ms. Midorikawa said is true, I think it's probably because Mr. Reika has leverage over Mr. Katsuragi and is blackmailing him."

"But we don't have any evidence yet. He can just insist that we were wrong." Kogoro Mori said with a frown.

There were no surveillance cameras in the room at the time, so as long as he denied it and said that Kogoro Mori and others had framed him, the judge might not convict him.

"That's right, so now we need to find evidence." Qing Musong nodded in response, then looked at the police officer who was searching the house and asked, "How is it going? Have you found any clues?"

"Inspector, we've searched the entire studio but couldn't find it," Maruta Ayumi replied.

Qing Musong thought for a moment and said, "Then go outside the studio, and look for it on both sides of the route from the studio to the living room."

"Yes!" Maruda Ayumi responded.

Maori Kogoro asked curiously, "Inspector Aoki, what are you looking for?"

"Find a tape recorder or player. Mr. Katsuragi walked out of the living room at 5 o'clock, which means he had already killed Teacher Lihua at that time. Then when Miss Midorikawa knocked on the door at 5 o'clock, there was only one possibility for the sound we heard - a recording!" Aoki Matsu replied.

Kensuke Katsuragi can find ways to invalidate other clues, except for the recording. It is impossible. As long as it is found, it will be evidence.

After a while, Maruta Ayumi came over with a bad look on his face and said, "Inspector, we have searched the entire villa and found nothing."

"Didn't you find it? Then there is only one possibility left." Aoki Matsu said with a smile.

Many people were puzzled when they heard Qing Musong say this.

Aoki Matsu came directly from the studio on the second floor to the living room, and then said to Kensuke Katsuragi and the other three, "Everyone, please cooperate with our police work. In order to eliminate your suspicion, we need to search you."

"Body search!?" The four were shocked.

"Is it necessary?" Midorikawa Kulala asked with a frown.

Aoki Matsu looked at her and replied, "It is necessary, especially Miss Midorikawa. The current clues and your testimony are very unfavorable to you. If you want to prove that you are not the murderer, please accept our body search."

Midorikawa Kurara curled her lips when she heard that, then stood up and said, "I'm not the murderer, you can search as you like."

Public figures like celebrities are the ones who fear being involved in this kind of thing the most.

There is actually a lot of flexibility when it comes to police body searches.

If you really want to be serious, you must ask the police to produce evidence or a search warrant.

However, most people, as long as they have nothing to hide and have not done anything bad, will cooperate with the police if they take a tougher attitude.

It is better to do less than to do more.

It is still worthwhile to conduct a body search and prove your innocence to avoid being forcibly summoned by the police for 24 hours or directly detained.

Midorikawa Kurara was thinking this way. They were only searching her in the villa. If she didn't cooperate, she would be summoned to the Metropolitan Police Department. If she was photographed by reporters, she didn't know what they would write about her. Her career would definitely be affected.

With the first person who agrees, the second and third will be much easier.

Yuka Shiraishi and Masao Tamura also agreed.

Although Kensuke Katsuragi had something to hide, he had no choice but to agree under the circumstances and could only hope for a lucky break.

The police officers searched the four people one by one, but to their surprise, they did not find anything on them except mobile phones.

Kensuke Katsuragi didn't have a recorder on him.

However, after seeing the mobile phone, Qing Musong came back to his senses. The mobile phones in the world of science are updated every day, and now the functions of mobile phones can record and play.

So Qing Musong didn't give the four people a chance to speak and directly checked their mobile phones.

Then he found an audio file in the recycle bin of Kensuke Katsuragi's mobile phone. He clicked it directly and heard the voice of Reika Murasaki, "I'm working now, talk to you later."

"Ah!" Masao Tamura, Yuka Shiraishi, and Kulala Midorikawa were all startled when they heard the voice.

After Midorikawa Kulala came back to her senses, she immediately said, "This, this, this is the voice that came from inside when I went to knock on the door of Lihua Studio. It's exactly the same, the words and tone haven't changed!"

At this time, Shiraishi Yuka also said, "Isn't this what the teacher said when I reported to her that someone from Dongdu TV was looking for her?"

"Yes, that's exactly what Teacher Lihua said at that time." Tamura Masao confirmed.

They all heard it at that time.

Aoki Matsu looked at his phone, then looked at Kensuke Katsuragi and said, "So, Mr. Katsuragi, the murderer who killed Teacher Lihua is you, right?"

"Ah!" Masao Tamura, Yuka Shiraishi, and Kurara Midorikawa were startled, and then subconsciously looked at Kensuke Katsuragi.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kensuke Katsuragi retorted subconsciously with his face changing drastically.

"In fact, I found it strange when I first saw the scene. Why was the skylight broken? Why was there someone lying unconscious on the ground? Why did someone's first reaction not to open the door but to climb through the skylight?" Aoki Matsu looked at Katsuragi Kensuke and said, "What's even more strange to me is that the person who first reacted to climb through the skylight was the first person to suggest that Ms. Shiraishi might have the spare key to the studio.

Why? Why didn't he ask Ms. Shiraishi to open the door when he found out that Ms. Lihua might have been killed? Instead, he climbed through the skylight when even a famous detective like Detective Maori, who had experienced many battles, hadn't reacted yet? "
