My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 892 The murderer was much more thoughtful than Qing Musong had thought

Sakauchi Hisami quickly said, "But last night, the TV was really loud."

Upon hearing this, Junzhi Hyoto followed suit and said, "His TV suddenly turned up very loud, and it kept fast-forwarding."

"It was disturbing us neighbors, so we went to knock on his door like we did today and asked him to turn down the volume," added Shi Guiqian.

"And then?" Qing Musong continued to ask: "Did Mr. Chuanchuan do as you said?"

"Yeah." Sakauchi Hisami responded.

Junji Hyodo added, "He turned off the TV."

"But he didn't say a word." Shi Guiqian said.

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu thought of what Mao Lilan and Conan said, and asked: "So, last night, when you came here and knocked on the door, Mr. Chuanchuan did not open the door, and you did not see him in person, but only heard that the volume of the TV was turned down after you complained, right?"

"Yes." Sakauchi Hisami replied.

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong made a note in his little notebook.

The fact that we didn’t see him in person means that Mr. Chuanchuan might not have been alive at that time.

There is no way. In daily cases, as long as they are related to time, many of them are caused by the murderer's intention to play with time.

Aoki Matsu must be more careful.

But to be honest, there have been fewer cases of this kind in recent times.

I don’t know if these murderers have become smarter.

Maruta Ayumi asked in confusion: "But why would Mr. Murakawa suddenly do that?"

Upon hearing this, Junzhi replied, "Who knows! Maybe he thought we were not at home."

Shi Guiqian also said: "Because that was the time when the three of us went out together."

Qing Musong and others were shocked when they heard this.

"Are you three going out together?"

I didn’t realize that these three people are a family!

"Ah, yes." Junzhi, the military commander, responded.

Sakauchi Hisami replied, "My friend's parents in Izu opened a hot spring hotel there, and they said they would like to treat us to a visit at a low price."

"The relationship between you three is so good?" Aoki Matsu said with a raised eyebrow.

If it is really that good, then we have to consider the situation of accomplices.

But it was obvious that the relationship between the three was not that good, because after Qing Musong said this, the three looked at each other and felt a little awkward.

"I guess so, because we are often together." Junzhi Hyoto looked at the other two and said, "Speaking badly of Chuanchuan."

When Ishigumi Qian saw that Hyoto Shunji had told him the reason, he also said, "We have even been trying to find a way to kick him out of this rental apartment."

Sakauchi Hisami also said in a bad tone: "We'll discuss it when we get to the hotel."

It turned out to be the case.

What unites people is not a common goal but a common enemy.

This is very common in reality - friendship comes from complaining.

Junzhi continued, "As a result, when the three of us came back together just now, the alarm clock in his room kept ringing."

"Later, I put my luggage in my room, and the alarm clock didn't stop after a while," Shi Guiqian added.

"So the three of us went to complain to him together," said Hisami Sakauchi.

"So you broke down the door and found the body," Aoki Matsu concluded, but then immediately asked, "When did you go to the hot spring last night?"

"It's probably around 6 o'clock, that should be right." Sakauchi Hisami replied.

Qing Musong asked again: "Did you three leave together?"

"Yes." The three responded.

"Where are the other residents of this rental apartment?" Aoki Matsu looked at several people and asked, especially the landlady.

"It's just us now." replied Junji Hyoto.

Sakauchi Hisami complained, "Because everyone dislikes Mr. Chuanchuan, they all moved out."

"That is to say, after the three of you left, Mr. Chuanchuan will theoretically be the only one left in this apartment," Aoki Matsu said, then looked at Maruta Ayumi and asked, "Has the forensic department figured out the time of death?"

"It was around 5 to 7 o'clock yesterday evening," Maruta Ayumi replied.

These three left here at six o'clock.

In other words, all three are suspected of murder.

A classic choice among three, worthy of you.

After hearing what Maruta Ayumi said, Sakauchi Hisami and the other two had completely opposite ideas from Aoki Matsu.

Sakanechi Hisami even said, "When we knocked on the door at six o'clock, Mr. Chuanchuan should have been still alive. The key to this room was next to Mr. Chuanchuan's body. He was holding a bloody kitchen knife in his hand. It turned out to be suicide. He committed suicide after we left."

"That's right." Hyoto Shunzhi and Ishiki Ken both agreed.

Qing Musong looked at the three of them and said seriously, "No, this was murder, and the murderer is one of you three."

"What!?" The three were extremely surprised when they heard this.

The military commander Shunzhi immediately asked: "This is clearly suicide, how could it be murder?"

"Because the key was clearly on top of a pool of blood, but there was no blood stain on it. And not just the front, but even the back was not stained at all."

Qing Musong looked at the three people and said, "This is definitely not suicide. Someone re-entered Mr. Chuanchuan's room after the bloodstains dried and put the key here. In other words, only one of you three who was the first to discover it could have done it."

Conan nodded secretly. Aoki Matsu was right. It was indeed a homicide.

Before he entered the room, he secretly touched the key and found that it was still a little warm.

But Conan didn't dare tell Aoki Matsu.

Because Conan was familiar with Aoki Matsu's style, he allowed himself to check the scene, but he absolutely forbade him to touch anything at the scene, especially key evidence.

Conan has been "taught a lesson" by Aoki Matsu many times and has been scared of being "beaten". Although he still can't help but make the mistake occasionally, he also knows that he must not let Aoki Matsu know after making the mistake, otherwise he will be "educated" by Aoki Matsu again.

"Eh!!!" The three were shocked when they heard this.

"That is to say, one of you, after learning about this hot spring activity, thought that you could take this opportunity to kill Mr. Chuanchuan, and then disguise the room as a secret room and leave. In this way, you would have a perfect alibi." Aoki Matsu looked at the three people and said.

"No, wait a minute." Junzhi was shocked when he heard this: "Then what was that loud TV sound that the three of us heard before we left?"

Shi Guiqian said seriously, "I did hear the sound. It came from Chuanchuan's room."

Qing Musong looked at the three people and said, "You only heard the sound of the TV at that time, and you didn't hear Mr. Chuanchuan's voice, right?"

"Yes!" Shi Guiqian replied.

"Then there are at least two ways to achieve this goal," said Aoki Matsu.

"What!? Two?" The three were shocked.

"The first method is to record the TV sound in advance and broadcast it at a scheduled time," said Aoki Matsu.

"But the first thing we heard was the six o'clock news." Sakauchi Hisami quickly retorted: "The date and day of the week both showed that it was last night's news! Although it switched to another channel 2-3 minutes later."

"Then there is another way. The murderer bought a TV remote control for Mr. Chuanchuan's house in advance. It is a remote control of the same brand and model. The range of the remote control is 30 to 50 meters. As long as the remote control and the TV are paired in advance, he can still control the TV inside with the remote control while standing outside the door." Qing Musong said: "When you knocked on the door last night, no one noticed if anyone had their hands in their pockets."

"Ah, this..." The three were shocked.

The three of them really didn't seem to notice this at the time.

"Is this really possible?" asked Hisami Sakauchi.

Qing Musong said: "Sure, if you don't believe me, I'll have someone buy it back and we can try it."

Want to try?

Of course I have to try it!

Aoki Matsu asked someone to buy a remote control.

Go check out the scene yourself.

The method of this case is actually very simple, but the problem is - the evidence!

Even if the murderer did it according to Aoki Matsu's method, it is conceivable that the remote control must have been lost by the murderer long ago, most likely directly to Izu, and could not be found at all.

Aoki Matsu walked into the room next to Mr. Chuanchuan's body and found the room a little messy.

There is an alarm clock next to the bed.

But what is strange is that there are two fans in the room.

Chuanchuan Gensuke is not very fat, he can only be described as strong.

For such people, no matter how afraid of heat they are, there is no need to put two fans in the bedroom.

What's more, the hottest time has passed and the temperature is not that hot anymore.

strangeness.

Even stranger, one of the fans appeared to have fallen through a window.

In addition, there was a round clothes hanger for socks that fell to the ground, and there were also many clothes hangers on the ground.

But...the clips on the round clothes rack did not fly off because the clothes rack fell to the ground.

There are no other hangers nearby, so why are there so many clips on the ground?

When things go wrong, there must be a demon!

Is the murderer trying to hide something with these clips?

Qing Musong secretly took note of the key point "clip" in his heart.

This is not the only strange thing about the bedroom. What's even stranger is that if you ignore the fan, clothes rack and clothespins, the room is obviously well tidy.

The newspaper flyers on the quilt also look a bit unnatural.

There were actually two remote controls on the ground, but there was clearly only one TV!

Aoki Matsu picked up the remote control near the TV and tried it. It was for the TV, and the TV was very loud when it was turned on.

This is enough to show that at 6 o'clock yesterday evening, the TV volume was not turned down, but was directly turned off.

Normal people don't seem to do this.

Near the two fans is a universal remote control.

The so-called universal remote control refers to a wireless transmitting and receiving device that can decode various remote control infrared signals, store the received infrared signals, and send infrared information again.

More than 95% of home appliances on the market use infrared remote control.

Therefore, any matching home appliances can be controlled by the universal remote control.

But what Qing Musong cared about was not why the universal remote control appeared here, but that there was a bloodstain on the right side of the universal remote control, and it seemed as if it had been lightly wiped by something, causing the bloodstain to be incomplete.

The bloodstain was four keys long, unlike the old dirt from before.

Aoki Matsu immediately asked the police officer in charge of taking pictures to come over and take pictures, and then asked the people in the forensic department to compare the blood stains on the universal remote control with the DNA of the deceased, Chuanchuan Gensuke.

Confirm whether it is the blood of Chuanchuan Yuanyou.

If so, then the case becomes more complicated.

Chuanchuan Gensuke died on the sliding door of the bedroom, which was almost two meters away from the universal remote control. There was also bed and bedding in between. Logically, even if there was blood splatter when the carotid artery was cut with a knife, it would not have splattered only on the universal remote control. There should have been blood stains as well.

But Qing Musong carefully searched the ground and the bed and found no more bloodstains.

Then Aoki Matsu pulled open the curtains of the window next to him and prepared to check the windowsill.

I opened the curtains and found that there was also a window on the opposite side, and the light on the opposite side was still on.

"Is the landlady's house across the street?" asked Aoki Matsu.

"Yes, the landlady lives just opposite," replied Maruta Ayumi.

At this moment, Aoki Matsu suddenly remembered what Mao Lilan said - the remote control of the landlady's house was pressed under the book, causing the TV to switch channels.

Could it be that the reason why the TV in the landlord's house skipped channels was not because the remote control was pressed under the book, but because of the universal remote control in the opposite room? !

If this was true, the murderer was far more thoughtful than Aoki Matsu had previously thought.

Unfortunately, he still lost to "Science"!

After checking, Qing Musong looked at the three people and asked, "Was this fan lying on the ground when you came in?"

"Ah, I accidentally knocked it over when I rushed in." Junzhi replied, "Because I just wanted to go in and turn off the alarm, and I rushed into this dim room..."

Before he could finish, Sakanouchi Hisami said, "Me too, I was tripped by the corpse's feet and accidentally scraped my elbow!" As she spoke she raised her right arm, and there was indeed a scrape on her elbow.

“Me too!” Shi Guiqian also said, “When I pulled down the light cord and turned on the light, I saw this horrible scene.”

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong walked out of the bedroom, looked at the lamp on the ceiling of the living room, and then looked at the wall next to it. There was no switch. He could only walk into the living room and pull down the light cord to turn on the light.

"I see." Aoki Matsu replied, then looked at the landlady and asked, "Mrs. Kiritani, may I ask when your TV started to skip channels last night? Do you remember?"

"Well!" The landlady thought for a moment and replied, "I think it was in the evening."
