My neighbor's name is Conan

"Eh?" Somei Shogo was shocked after hearing what Maruta Ayumi said, and subconsciously asked, "Who saw it?"

"The employees of your company and the clerks of the pharmacy." Maruta Ayumi said to Somei Shogo with a serious face.

Ah!

Somei Shogo was obviously very surprised and looked uneasy. He then subconsciously looked away and tilted his head to the side. "I did go to the pharmacy to buy medicine today, but it was after 5 o'clock. Did they get the time wrong?"

"Then, what about the traces of coffee liquid? Judging from the traces left by the coffee liquid, there must have been someone sitting on that chair when the coffee liquid flowed out." Maruta Ayumi asked, staring at Somei Shogo.

Somei Shogo frowned, but still replied, "Oh, I put that mark there on purpose."

"Intentional!" Maruta Ayumi raised his eyebrows.

Somei Shogo nodded awkwardly, and then continued, "After Mr. Maori and I came in here, I did this before pouring my coffee into the flowerpot. If I do this, it seems like an impossible crime."

"That's nonsense!" Maruta Ayumi said to Somei Shogo with a straight face, "The traces of coffee on the chair have already dried up. There's no way they were just poured there."

After all, Maruta Ayumi is not stupid, and she has followed Aoki Matsu for so long, so she noticed that something was wrong with Somei Shogo.

But facing this question, Somei Shogo said calmly: "Excuse me, do you remember when you touched it?"

"21: p.m." replied Maruta Ayumi.

Upon hearing this, Somei Shogo immediately said, "It had been half an hour since I poured the coffee, so it had already dried up. And if that mark wasn't left by me, who else could it be? And how did that person turn this place into a secret room? And where did he disappear from?" Somei Shogo almost yelled at the end.

"Since you said you did it? Then I want to ask you, how did you lock the security chain and leave the room?" Qing Musong said at this time.

Although he doesn't remember the case, Aoki Matsu is not a fool. Somei Shogo's behavior shows that he wants to take the blame for the murderer!

The anti-theft chain in this room is of the chain type, not the handle type, so it is impossible to use transparent tape or something like that as a mechanism.

"I..." Somei Shogo was speechless.

This method cannot be made up at random, because the police are at the scene and they will know the truth once they try it.

At this time, a police officer walked in quickly. "Inspector, here are the results of the investigation you ordered."

Aoki Matsu took the pages of paper handed to him and flipped through them.

First, there are two call records on Somei Shogo’s phone.

One is with a lady named Kuzumi Maiko, and the other is with Mori Kogoro.

According to investigation, this Maiko Kusumi is an employee of Somei Shogo's company.

Then there are the call records of the victim, Nakame Raisaku.

Before he was killed, Nakame Raisaku had only one phone call record, which was with Kusumi Maiko.

Next came the call records of Maiko Kusumi, also two calls, first with Nakame Yosaku and then with Somei Shogo.

If arranged in chronological order.

First, Kusumi Maiko called Nakame Raisaku.

After a while, Maiko Kusumi called Somei Shogo.

Then Somei Shogo called Mori Kogoro.

In this way, Aoki Matsu can be sure that there is something wrong with this Hisumi Maiko.

"Mr. Somei, do you already know who the murderer is? You just want to take the blame for him, so you say that you killed the victim." Aoki Matsu looked at Somei Shogo with the investigation report and said, "And this person should be Miss Hisumi Maiko."

When Somei Shogo heard Aoki Matsu accurately say the name "Kusumi Maiko", his expression suddenly changed, and he became panicked and sad. After a few seconds, he reacted and retorted loudly: "No, no, Maiko did nothing. I planned the crime alone. She didn't do anything!"

"Then tell me how you got out after putting up the anti-theft chain." Aoki Matsu looked at Somei Shogo and asked. Without waiting for Somei Shogo's answer, he said directly to Maruta Ayumi and others beside him, "Go and summon Miss Hisumi Maiko. If she runs away, issue a wanted order."

"Yes!" Maruda Ayumi responded.

"No!" Somei Shogo said excitedly, "No, it's me, it's me, I'm the murderer of Mr. Nakame!" He hurried over and tried to catch Aoki Matsu, but Aoki Matsu dodged him. So he caught Aihara Yoji, who didn't react as quickly, and begged, "Please catch me."

"Of course you will be arrested, but not for murder, but for obstructing official duties!" Aoki Matsu said to Somei Shogo, and then gave Aihara Yoji a look.

Only then did Aihara Yoji react, and he grabbed Somei Shogo and handcuffed him.

At this time, Maruta Ayumi came over with his phone and said, "Inspector, I can't get through to Miss Kuzumi's phone. I asked the employees of their company and Miss Kuzumi didn't come to work today."

"Did she flee because she was afraid of being punished?!" Qing Musong raised his eyebrows.

This was the first case of this kind that Qing Musong had encountered. After thinking for a while, he said, "Contact the Ministry of Transportation to help find the person. If we can't find him, issue a wanted warrant."

Seeing Aoki Matsu's tough attitude, Somei Shogo shouted frantically: "You can't find her, you can't find her, it's me, I am the murderer, I am, not her, not her." As he said this, he couldn't help but cry.

Aoki Matsu's first reaction was that the other party had already run away, but when he saw Somei Shogo crying, he suddenly thought of the wet white curtain and his face changed.

Could it be that……

"Miss Hisumi, could it be that..." Aoki Matsu looked out the window.

"Inspector?" Maruta Ayumi looked out the window, but there was nothing.

Qing Musong thought for a moment and ordered, "Prepare the luminol reagent and check the parking lot directly below the living room window."

Maruta Ayumi was stunned at first, then his eyes widened subconsciously, "Inspector, could it be..."

Aoki Matsu looked at Somei Shogo who was crying and said, "Mr. Somei, could it be that the call you received from Miss Hisumi was the call she made before she committed suicide, telling you that she had killed the victim and was about to commit suicide!"

So in this closed-room murder case, there really is no technique or problem with the closed-room part, because the murderer committed the crime with the intention of killing the victim and then committing suicide, so of course there is no flaw to be found.

"No, it's not." Somei Shogo still denied.

Aoki Matsu looked at Somei Shogo and sighed, "Mr. Somei, why don't you tell the truth yet? You really have the heart to let Miss Kuzumi's body be locked up in this cold rainy night. After she fell from the balcony on the 20th floor to the parking lot, you picked up her body and let her sleep in the trunk of your car."

If a person falls from a 20-story building, what will the body look like?

Maybe many people can’t even imagine it, let alone have seen it.

Unfortunately, Qing Musong had actually seen it, not in this life, but in the previous life.

It's not a complete corpse like in the cartoons.

Instead, it shattered into pieces like broken glass.

A body this big as a human was smashed into pieces, and there was a lot of blood on the ground.

Even if it has been raining outside, it is impossible to wash away the blood completely, so the luminol reagent can still work.

So in fact, whether Somei Shogo said it or not, it didn't matter to Aoki Matsu. He just had to check the ground in the parking lot and the trunk of Somei Shogo's car.

I don’t know what Aoki Matsu said touched his heart, but Somei Shogo burst into tears. Then he knelt on the ground with his face covered, “Wuwuwuwu… Wuwuwuwu…Maiko! Maiko.”

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu asked someone to check the trunk of Somei Shogo at the station. After confirming that there was indeed a body inside, he took Somei Shogo back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

According to Somei Shogo, whose emotions had stabilized a little, the program was cancelled because Somei Shogo refused Nakame Raisaku's request for kickbacks. Nakame Raisaku then threatened Somei Shogo and others that he would make it impossible for them to gain a foothold in the industry. In addition, Nakame Raisaku also coveted Kusumi Maiko and wanted Somei Shogo to "give" her to him.

Somei Shogo did not agree, but his decision was seen by Hisumi Maiko, who loved him deeply.

Maiko Kusumi couldn't bear to see Shogo Somei becoming increasingly thin, so she committed this crime, and she resigned the day before yesterday, so as not to drag Shogo Somei down. But because of this love, Maiko Kusumi finally spoke her true feelings in a phone call to Shogo Somei before committing suicide.

After Somei Shogo received a call from Maiko Kusumi, he was unable to change her mind with words, so he could only find a way to save her life, so... He first pretended to be Nakame Raisaku who committed suicide, and when he saw that the police were smart and were not fooled by his disguise, he confessed to the crime and wanted to take all the blame on himself.

Regarding this case, Aoki Matsu shook his head.

It was clearly a sad case, but even someone as sentimental as Mao Lilan cried along.

But Aoki Matsu has a lot to complain about.

Kuzumi Maiko loves too much...

Of course, she is at least better than the heroines in some Japanese love action movies, who did not sacrifice themselves voluntarily and endure torture again and again, but instead killed the other party directly.

What Aoki Matsu couldn't understand was why Kusumi Maiko didn't just explain the matter to Somei Shogo directly, and the two of them could work together to overcome the difficulties, but instead chose to do such a thing at the risk of her own life.

If two people like each other, they should be honest with each other and work together to overcome difficulties.

If it was just Maiko Kusumi's secret crush, and if others told others about what she did, it would be a bit of moral blackmail against Somei Shogo and a self-flattering act.

Anyway, a very unemotional person like Aoki Matsu simply cannot understand what Kusumi Maiko is doing.

I can only say that fortunately Somei Shogo is also a person who likes her and a person with conscience, and Kusumi Maiko's intention was not in vain.

Otherwise, if Somei Shogo didn't like Kusumi Maiko, he would probably think that Kusumi Maiko was not only morally blackmailing him, but also a psychopath, which would cause trouble for him.

Therefore, there are some things that you must talk to the other party about and ask for clarification to avoid misunderstandings and tragedies.

Aoki Matsu has lost count of how many tragedies like this he has experienced due to lack of timely communication, and he thinks there will be more in the future.

***

There were only two people who could make Aoki Song run out to watch the spectacle late at night.

One is his fiancée Kaori Niina, and the other is - Kaito Kid!

That night, Qing Musong came to see the Western show again.

"Yuanzi, your uncle is really persistent!" Qing Musong said with a sneer as he looked at the "big scene" in front of him.

Suzuki Jirokichi got a pair of high-heeled shoes inlaid with purple gems from somewhere to provoke Kaito Kid.

How could Douzi tolerate such provocation? Of course he had to accept it.

And then there is this scene before our eyes.

Aoki Matsu would not stop this kind of thing, nor could he stop it.

He could stop Touko from going, but he couldn't do anything about Suzuki Jiro's guitar.

It would be better to just...watch it for fun.

Suzuki Sonoko smiled and said, "Uncle Jiroyoshi's only wish now is to catch Kidd. He made the front page headlines last time, so... hehehe, I also want to know what Lord Kidd looks like." So she agreed wholeheartedly.

“I just didn’t expect that a treasure exhibition would be held right in the center of Ginza.” Aoki Matsu smacked his lips.

When watching cartoons, you are just watching for fun, but when you are immersed in it, you can feel the grand work of Suzuki Jirokichi.

Ginza is the most famous and prosperous shopping center in Japan. The fact that Suzuki Jirokichi was able to close the street is not something that can be achieved by spending money.

Money is just the foundation. You also need a network of connections and to get in touch with municipal departments and other departments.

Just this kind of behavior...

Maori Kogoro looked around and said, "This is just like telling Kaito Kidd, 'Just come and take it.'"

Mao Lilan agreed, "That's true." Then she looked at Suzuki Sonoko worriedly and asked, "Sonoko, is this okay?"

"Yeah." Suzuki Sonoko nodded with a smile, "For me, as long as Lord Kidd is willing to come over and let me see him, it will be perfect." As she said this, she gave a thumbs up, with a look of amorous feelings on her face.

[There's no hope for this woman.] Qing Musong rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.

No wonder Kyogoku Makoto later thought about competing with Kaito Kid. This is really intolerable!

"Sonoko." When Mao Lilan saw Suzuki Sonoko like this, she was speechless.

"However, I think Uncle Jiroyoshi seems to have some special plans this time." Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Aoki Matsu actually already knew Suzuki Jirokichi's plan. Well, there is a saying that can perfectly describe it - the devil is always one step ahead of the righteous!

Although Suzuki Jirokichi's plan is good, Kaito Kidd is better.
