My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 909 Thank you for being a criminal

Keisuke Ogino continued, "That guy always hangs a bunch of keys around his waist and swings them around. When he runs, you can hear the keys colliding."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu took people to Sodezaki Kazutomo's room, took out one of his cigarettes and lit it.

Then he asked Sodezaki Kazutomo this question.

Sodezaki Kazutomo nodded and said, "Yes, I do have a bunch of keys hanging on it, you see."

As he spoke, he lifted up his coat, revealing a bunch of five keys hanging on his waistband.

"There are really a lot of keys hanging here." Said Yoji Aihara after taking a look.

Sodezaki Kazutomo picked up the keys and said, "These are the keys to my house, car, office, bicycle, and safe."

"Inspector, it will take about 9 minutes to completely burn the cigarette." Maruta Ayumi said while looking at his watch.

"So, your room was empty for about 9 minutes," said Aoki Matsu.

Hearing this, Sodezaki Kazutomo said nervously, "Of course! They investigated my room after they had investigated Mr. Ogino and the others' room, right?"

"So, when you walked out of the room before, did you notice anything that concerned you? Whether it was a sound or a person," Aoki Matsu asked.

Sodezaki Kazutomo heard this and said, "As for the sound, when I arrived at the scene, I vaguely heard the ringing sound of Ms. Tsukihara's cell phone amid the chaos of the crowd."

"Do you know who called?" Aoki Matsu asked subconsciously.

Sodezaki Kazutomo heard this and said, "It seems that the call was from the photographer who worked with her. The two of them seemed to be talking about taking exclusive photos."

"I see." Aoki Matsu nodded to show that he understood.

After leaving Sodezaki Kazutomo's room, Aihara Yoji said solemnly, "Inspector, what should we do? Those three people all have definite motives for committing the crime, and their alibis are also very weak."

Everyone seemed to be a suspect.

Aoki Matsu recalled the statements of the three people and suddenly discovered a detail.

He invited Miss Tsukihara Kaori to the side and asked her separately, "Ms. Tsukihara, when you heard the alarm, did it ring once or several times?"

"It rang several times." Tsukihara Kaoru replied.

Qing Musong was delighted when he heard this, he knew who the murderer was!

No wonder!

No wonder he felt something was wrong before. So that's why.

I secretly glanced at Conan who was eavesdropping, and sure enough, Conan also had an expression that said "I know".

"Then who among you three arrived downstairs first?" Qing Musong asked again.

"It was me, then Mr. Sodezaki, and finally Mr. Ogino." Tsukihara Kaori replied.

Aoki Matsu smiled and said, "Ms. Yueyuan, thank you for your cooperation."

After letting Tsukihara Kaori go back, Aoki Matsu called the forensic department and said, "Hey, Detective Tomi, have you found out the ingredients of the beer and coffee that were delivered?"

Detective Tomi replied: "It has not been fully tested, but some have been detected. NaCl was found in the beer. NaCl is table salt. This beer contains 100 mg of NaCl per 44 ml of beer, but the one tested reached 84 mg."

"NaCl!" Qing Musong thought for a moment and asked, "What will happen if you add salt to beer?"

If you don’t understand, ask, or experiment.

"It will produce some foam." Detective Dengmi said, "Putting sinking particles into the beer will produce foam. Sugar or sand will do. When the particles sink into the beer, the beer will come into contact with the air boundary at a large scale. At this time, a large amount of carbon dioxide will easily gather, which will easily produce foam."

"I understand. Thank you, Detective Tomi." Aoki Matsu thanked and then hung up the phone with Detective Tomi.

After knowing who the murderer was, Aoki Matsu checked something before walking up to the three suspects.

He looked at Sodezaki Kazutomo and Ogino Keisuke and asked, "Ms. Tsukihara said just now that she was the first to arrive on the first floor. Excuse me, is that true?"

"That's right!" Sodezaki Kazutomo responded, "When I arrived, I saw Miss Tsukihara among the crowd. She was outside."

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at him and asked, "If that's the case, why did you, Mr. Sodezaki, show up later than her? You also ran outside as soon as you heard someone shouting that someone fell from the building, didn't you?"

"Why?" Sodezaki Kazutomo was stunned, then nervously replied, "I was just halfway through my article and was planning to finish a paragraph first... but even if I showed up later than her, I was only one or two minutes late."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Ogino Keisuke and asked, "Then why did Mr. Ogino arrive at the scene later than Mr. Sodezaki?"

"I had a live broadcast that I didn't want to miss." Ogino Keisuke replied nervously, "I couldn't leave at that time! I was watching a live football broadcast on TV."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong asked, "What scene do you not want to miss?"

"I forgot! It was probably a superb pass or a great corner kick. There must be a lot of such scenes." Ogino Keisuke began to talk nonsense.

Aoki Matsu looked at him and said, "That means Mr. Ogino, you must have been watching football at that time, right?"

"Yes, that's right. So focused that he ignored the commotion outside." Ogino Keisuke replied.

"In that case, don't you think it's noisy?" Aoki Matsu asked.

Ogino Keisuke thought Aoki Matsu was talking about the noise downstairs, so he said, "I was concentrating on watching the football game and didn't pay much attention to the noise downstairs."

"I'm not talking about the sound downstairs, but the sound of your alarm clock." Aoki Matsu looked at Ogino Keisuke and said, "Ms. Tsukihara said that she heard more than one alarm clock sound, but it kept ringing when she went downstairs.

You said before that you usually set the alarm for 7:30 every morning, so why didn't the alarm go off but was in an automatic stop state? Based on this, it can be inferred that this is evidence that you were not in the room in the morning.

The alarm was so loud that even Miss Tsukihara, who lived next door, could hear it clearly. It was impossible for you to watch the football game calmly. So you were not in the room at that time, right? "

After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, Ogino Keisuke broke out in a cold sweat and gnashed his teeth. However, Ogino Keisuke was quick-witted and suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "Oh, I remember now!"

Qing Musong raised his eyebrows. He wanted to hear what else this person had to say.

"I was in the toilet. I was in the toilet at that time. Although I heard the alarm ringing, I couldn't press the alarm because I was in the toilet.

Although I was concerned when I heard someone shouting outside that someone had fallen from a building before I went to the toilet, I couldn't help but go. The alarm stopped automatically after I left the toilet, and then I rushed to the scene. "Ogino Keisuke argued.

Conan subconsciously widened his eyes when he heard this.

[Damn it, he actually convinced me! ]

Aoki Matsu laughed when he heard this, thinking that Aoki Matsu couldn't do anything to him when he went to the toilet?

"Mr. Ogino, you said you were using the toilet at that time, right? Okay, Maruta, go check the humidity near the upper part of the toilet seat or squat toilet. You wouldn't go to the toilet and not flush it, right?" Aoki Matsu said to Ogino Keisuke.

Although it is possible, if the other party got up at 7 o'clock and went to the toilet, whether you can find out is one thing, and whether to check it is another.

At least it should have enough deterrent effect.

"Yes!" Maruda Ayumi responded.

Ogino Keisuke didn't expect Aoki Matsu's brain to work so quickly, and the sweat on his face broke out even more. Suddenly, he thought of something else and said quickly: "Moreover, Mr. Police, if I am really the criminal, I first climbed the stairs to the second floor, pushed the president down into his room, and then immediately ran to the first floor.

Before you came to my room to check, this room was empty for more than 10 minutes. If 10 minutes had passed, the beer foam would have disappeared just like that glass of beer!"

Aoki Matsu smiled and looked at Ogino Keisuke and said, "Speaking of beer, I also have a question for Mr. Ogino. Why is the ingredient in the beer you drink different? The beer in the can has the same ingredients as the beer of this brand outside, but the beer poured into the glass has twice as much NaCl as both."

Ogino Keisuke didn't expect Aoki Matsu to say that. He was stunned and sweat broke out even more.

"You added salt in it, right!" Aoki Matsu looked at Ogino Keisuke and said.

Then he picked up a glass of beer that was no longer bubbling, added some salt to it, and soon a lot of bubbles appeared in the beer.

Then Aoki Matsu explained the principle and added: "This trick should be often used when taking beer photos. After all, beer with a lot of foam looks delicious. Mr. Ogino, you are a photographer, so you should know this trick."

"But, but, I didn't have any salt at that time." Ogino Keisuke said in his dying struggle.

"Then Mr. Ogino, do you dare to let us search you?" Qing Musong looked at him and asked, "When we entered your room, you kicked over the paper bag at the entrance, right? That paper bag was a gift you received after attending a funeral. There must be something in it, and that is salt to ward off evil spirits!"

Ah!

Ogino Keisuke's eyes widened instantly.

"The return gift is at the entrance. You probably haven't had time to clean it up yet. I think the salt is gone. After you kick the paper bag away, pretend to put the tea can back into the bag.

At the same time, you secretly took out the salt for exorcism and put it in your pocket, tore the salt bag in your pocket, and secretly grabbed some salt. Then, before we saw the beer glass, you turned your back to us and sprinkled the salt into it, finally letting us see the beer glass full of foam.

Since you entered this apartment, the three of you have never left our police sight. I think the bag of salt is still on you, and there are also a few grains of salt in your pockets." Aoki Matsu looked at Ogino Keisuke and said.

Aihara Yoji cooperated very well and stepped forward to Keisuke Ogino and said, "Mr. Ogino, please cooperate with us. We need to search you."

At this time, Sodezaki, Tomo and Tsukihara Kaori also understood what was going on, but...

"But I simply can't believe that Mr. Ogino would kill President Katsumoto!" Sodezaki Kazutomo said with disbelief.

"That's right!" Tsukihara Kaori also echoed, "Because even the lawyer said that the lawsuit we filed has a high chance of winning. By the way, didn't you say, Mr. Ogino? The memory card containing the photos of the actresses was stained with the president's fingerprints.

Didn't we have the president who specially selected the photo from the memory card and published it in the magazine as evidence? How could he kill the president when he was sure to win the case? "

"Found it." Yoji Aihara found the used package of exorcism salt in Keisuke Ogino's pocket.

At this time, Ogino Keisuke lowered his head, closed his eyes, and said heavily: "Because it disappeared."

"Ah!" Yueyuan Xiang subconsciously looked at him and asked in confusion: "You said it disappeared?"

Ogino Keisuke lowered his head and said, "I received the message from the president this morning and felt something was wrong, so I checked and found that the memory card had disappeared from my camera bag."

"Eh!" Tsukihara Kaori and Sodezaki Kazutomo were shocked when they heard this.

Ogino Keisuke continued, "I immediately guessed who had done this, so I ran to the president's room to question him. Sure enough, he paid a large sum of money to bribe my assistant who had just resigned, and let my assistant steal the memory card with his fingerprints on it.

He also said that since the lawsuit could not be withdrawn, he had other means to deal with it. He would use the photos as new exclusive gossip, with a title like "Cruel and ruthless photographer frames former classmate actress."

"Former classmates!" Sodezaki Kazutomo was surprised.

Tsukihara Kaori was also surprised, "With that actress."

"Yes, she was my junior high school classmate, so I knew that the man in the photo was her half-brother. And that photo was not taken secretly, I took it in front of them in order to give it to them.

But my assistant misunderstood and showed it to the president, who published the article after reading it. So if she mistakenly thought that I was the one who made those photos public in that way and committed suicide out of sadness, then I am to blame no matter how you think about it.

When I came to my senses, I found that the president had been pushed out of the balcony and fell to the ground far away. However, I committed this crime without any plan, and thought I could use the beer foam to cover it up. I didn't expect that this trick would be suspected by you and become evidence of my crime. "
