My neighbor's name is Conan

Maori Kogoro was very puzzled when he heard this and said, "Why would Mr. Jiro do this?"

Aoki Matsu also felt it was a bit strange. Imaoka Jiro's behavior could barely be called an "unexpected surprise", but wearing a zombie mask, wasn't that a scare?

If the target is a boy, Qing Musong thinks there is still a possibility.

But the problem is that Fujimori Asako is not only a woman, but she has also had a bad heart since childhood. As her partner, Imaoka Jiro should know this. People with bad hearts cannot be frightened to avoid getting sick.

And if it was a joke, it was a bit too much and even broke someone's window glass.

No matter how good the relationship is, you can’t joke like this!

After thinking for a while, Aoki Matsu looked at Fujimori Asako and asked, "Do you want to get any clues?"

"No!" replied Asako Fujimori.

Aoki Matsu looked past Fujimori Asako and asked the two's manager, Hisamatsu Minoru, who was standing nearby: "Hisamatsu-san, what about you?"

When Hisamatsu heard that he was named by Aomatsu, he was stunned at first, then his eyes were a little evasive, and he said hesitantly: "Well..." But after thinking about it, he said: "Actually, to be honest, Jiro wants to end his cooperation with Asako."

"Eh!?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

If this is true, then there is a reason to kill.

Asako Fujimori was also surprised when she heard this, "How could it be!" Then she held the hanging strawberry medicine box pendant with some sadness.

"After graduating from high school, Jiro immediately entered the world of comedy. He was very good-looking, but unfortunately he got stage fright when he stepped on the stage, and things didn't go well for him. But Asako insisted that Jiro was very talented, and she insisted on working with him. After 10 years of hard work, they are finally getting results and their popularity is rising.

However, due to the busy performance schedule, Asako's heart condition has been getting worse and worse. Sometimes she has to stop performing on stage and on TV, and her reactions when performing crosstalk have become slower and slower. "Jiro, it seems that you have reached the limit of your patience recently." Hisamatsu explained.

"Come to think of it, when I was protecting Ms. Asako, I saw Mr. Imaoka complaining to Ms. Asako in the backstage, 'No, no, the timing of three of your complaints was too slow, what on earth are you doing?' Ms. Asako apologized and said that her heart was suddenly not feeling well.

But Mr. Imaoka continued to complain, "Why do you care so much? We are professional actors!" I went up to persuade him to make peace, but Mr. Imaoka said, "I can't do it anymore. It would be better to quit early." Maori Kogoro quickly told him what he saw.

"Did he say that he would withdraw, or did Miss Asako want to withdraw?" Aoki Matsu looked at Kogoro Mori and asked.

Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and said, "He didn't say anything, but from the tone of his voice, it seems that he wants Miss Asako to withdraw."

At this time, Aihara Yoji picked up a Japanese entertainment gossip magazine and flipped through it. As he flipped through it, he said, "Speaking of which, I often see news about Mr. Imaoka in this weekly magazine recently. Ah, I found it, take a look!"

Yoji Aihara unfolded the magazine and showed it to Matsu Aoki.

The news about Jiro Imaoka took up two inside pages. Not only were there photos, but there were also extra-large letters saying "Jiro Imaoka socializing with female reporters" and "Jiro Imaoka dating idols."

Aihara Yoji said: "It seems that his relationship with men and women is a bit complicated."

What's "complicated"? It's just fickle and rotten!

Hisamatsu Minoru wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief in his trembling hands and said, "Asako and Jiro were not only partners in crosstalk, but also boyfriend and girlfriend. But after becoming famous, Jiro...

So I felt that I couldn't just sit there and do nothing anymore, and I reminded Jiro a few days ago. Unexpectedly, he told me that he wanted to end the cooperation, and said that Asako couldn't continue to perform crosstalk in this state. I didn't want to be held back by that guy again.

I was very angry and said to Jiro, "Asako supported you so much before, how can you say such things to her?" Jiro said that this and that are two completely different things. I asked him what he planned to do after the partnership ended.

Jiro said confidently, "With my looks, I can definitely do it alone. It's better without an old woman holding me back. In short, I don't want to perform comedy with Asako anymore. She's past her prime, and Hisamatsu-san should persuade her to quit the entertainment industry as soon as possible."

I was very angry at the time. Jiro’s fame today was all thanks to Asako, but he…” At the end, Hisamatsu was indeed very angry, his tone changed, and he seemed very angry.

Qing Musong understood something after hearing this.

Perhaps these unpleasant words of Imaoka Jiro were heard by Fujimori Asako, so...

Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and asked, "Is this zombie rubber mask Mr. Imaoka's?"

"It's his. He seemed to want to perform stand-up comedy with a rubber mask, so he bought a lot of these masks," replied Hisamatsu Mi.

Maori Kogoro heard the key point: "One-man comedy?!"

Hisamatsu explained: "He performed comedian by changing masks over and over again. He once performed it for me, but I couldn't praise him. It didn't look funny at all."

"Inspector." At this time, Maruta Ayumi ran in and reported: "We have investigated the person K who the deceased called. It was the locksmith's phone call."

Qing Musong frowned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that things seemed complicated. "You mean a locksmith?! Is it the locksmith who helps to open the lock when the key is lost?"

"Yes." Maruta Ayumi replied, then continued with the notebook in hand: "But according to the locksmith's description, after the call was connected, the other party hung up immediately, and he thought it might be a wrong number.

In addition, I also asked a resident who lives on the second floor of this apartment building, and he said that he saw the victim climbing the scaffolding stairs outside at around 6:50 when the weather forecast started.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Aoki Matsu asked.

Maruta Ayumi responded, "No, witnesses said they often saw the deceased and Ms. Asako rehearsing crosstalk in a nearby park, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Qing Musong thought for a moment and asked, "Did he wear a zombie mask at that time?"

"No." Maruta Ayumi shook his head. "The witness said he saw Mr. Imaoka's face and was sure it was him."

"The zombie mask should have been put on after reaching the balcony," said Yoji Aihara.

Can't say the same.

If you put on a zombie mask in advance, even if someone sees you, no one will know who you are.

Even if someone points out that you are wearing a zombie mask, you will only be a suspect, not a criminal immediately.

If I don’t wear a mask, I’ll be in trouble if someone recognizes me or if there are private surveillance cameras somewhere.

Aoki Matsu began to think about the case in his mind.

First of all, the murderer is definitely Fujimori Asako.

But the problem is that she pleaded guilty.

Therefore, the key point of this case is to find evidence that she intentionally injured someone.

There are two ideas here.

One is to find evidence that Fujimori Asako and Imaoka Jiro were together before the murder happened today.

The other is to find flaws in Fujimori Asako's words to prove that she is lying and overturn her words.

After deciding on his idea, Qing Musong prepared to examine the body first to see if the death was caused by an accidental stab in the heart.

Aoki Matsu first carefully examined the zombie mask and unexpectedly found that there were very small glass fragments inside the zombie mask.

This shouldn't happen!

It is impossible for the forensic detective to make such a low-level mistake. After the zombie mask was taken off Jiro Imaoka's face, it was directly put into the evidence bag. It is impossible for there to be glass fragments in it.

This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!

However...if Jiro Imaoka was not wearing a zombie mask on his head when he died, and the zombie mask was put on him by Asako Fujimori to make up a story, then it makes sense that there were glass fragments in it.

After discovering this, Aoki Matsu immediately walked to the side of the body again and focused on observing the section of the ground from the broken window to Jiro Imaoka's head, where there were a lot of broken glass fragments.

There was nothing wrong with this section of the ground, so Qing Musong continued to look down.

I found a few small things stuck on Jiro Imaoka's trouser legs. Upon closer inspection, I saw that they were a few things that looked like extremely shrunken durians stuck on Jiro Imaoka's trouser legs.

"This must be Xanthium sibiricum, right?" Qing Musong said as he looked at these little things, and then called the criminal in charge of taking pictures to come over and take pictures.

Only after taking the photos did I remove the cocklebur from the trouser leg.

"This thing will stick to wherever it goes." Kogoro Mouri said after taking a look.

But Aoki Matsu didn't think so. After thinking for a while, he looked at Fujimori Asako and asked, "Ms. Asako, have you been anywhere today?"

Fujimori Asako was stunned when she heard this, and then said, "No, I stayed at home all day today."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked Fujimori Asako up and down calmly and found that there was no cocklebur on her trouser legs. However, Aoki Matsu discovered another thing - there was something wrong with the handprint on Fujimori Asako's left arm.

According to Asako Fujimori, when the two were facing each other, Jiro Imaoka was holding the gun in his right hand and holding her arm with his left hand.

Normally, when facing each other, the handprint left by the opponent grabbing the arm should have fingers pointing inward, but the problem is that the handprint on Fujimori Asako's left arm had fingers pointing outward.

Aoki Matsu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Found it! Evidence that Fujimori Asako lied."

Worried that he had seen it wrong, Aoki Matsu even took the camera that had just taken the photo of Fujimori Asako and looked at the photo. The photo clearly showed the direction of the finger.

After thinking for a while, Aoki Matsu called Aihara Yoji and whispered in his ear: "Go look around the apartment to see if there are any cockleburs."

"Yes." Aihara Yoji responded.

Then Aoki Matsu carefully checked Fujimori's house and found that although Fujimori Asako's trouser legs were not stained by cockleburs, there were a few cockleburs on her pair of pink outdoor sneakers that she placed at the entrance.

In addition, Qingmu Song also checked the ingredients on the kitchen table. Qingmu Song found that the food was obviously cold, especially the fruit in the fruit wine, which looked very stale, as if it had been soaked for a long time, and did not look like it had just been made.

"Inspector." Aihara Yoji walked in from outside at this time, approached Aoki Matsu and reported: "Next to the apartment is the Upper and Lower Parks. There are a lot of cockleburs growing on the construction site of the park, and there are signs of trampling on another piece of grass."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong asked, "Are there any witnesses?"

Aihara Yoji shook his head. "No, the windows of the apartments near that place were not facing each other, so no one saw it."

There were no witnesses, but Aoki Matsu now had enough evidence.

So he walked to the living room, came in front of Fujimori Asako, looked at her and said, "Ms. Asako, it was you who killed Mr. Imaoka, but you didn't kill in self-defense, you killed someone intentionally!"

"What did you say!?" Fujimori Asako was stunned when she heard that. Then she looked at Aoki Matsu angrily and asked, "Why did you say that suddenly!"

Aoki Matsu looked at her calmly and said, "Ms. Asako, the man named Keisuke Numata who has been harassing you recently doesn't exist at all, right?"

"That's not true!" Fujimori Asako quickly denied, "I did give the photo to Detective Mori."

"That kind of thing can be easily made by finding an old photo. Of course, maybe the other person is indeed your ex-boyfriend, but he has not harassed you recently and is not in Tokyo, so a famous detective like Detective Mori failed to find any clues after a week of investigation." Aoki Matsu said.

"You only need to make up such a thing, let Detective Maori see that you are threatened, and trick Detective Maori into mistaking Mr. Imaoka wearing a zombie mask for Keisuke Numata. You stabbed him because of your fierce resistance, and then let Detective Maori infer that you were acting in self-defense.

Because of Detective Maori's reputation and his relationship with our police, our police will naturally not suspect that Detective Maori is lying, so you can change from intentional injury to legitimate defense and avoid legal punishment." Aoki Matsu looked at Fujimori Asako and said.

"That's not the case." Fujimori Asako said to Aoki Matsu excitedly, "Please stop talking nonsense. Anyway, if Jiro hadn't barged into this room wearing a zombie mask, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"But in fact, all this was in your plan." Aoki Matsu looked at Fujimori Asako with a cold face and said, "Ms. Asako, you and Mr. Imaoka met in the upper and lower parks near this apartment building around 6pm."

"Ah!" Fujimori Asako was shocked but denied it: "No, I was preparing dinner at home."

"Are you talking about making fruit wine?" Upon hearing this, Qing Musong immediately looked at Mao Lilan and said, "Xiao Lan, you are good at cooking, go and taste the taste of the fruit wine."

"Ah?!" Mao Lilan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that there was also something about her.

Conan immediately had an idea in his mind when he heard this.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what I had reasoned.
