Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Motoyama Masaharu still wanted to quibble, but after Conan's reminder, Maori Kogoro already knew how he killed Noshiro at 9:30.

"Oh, yes, if you really depart from Miyazaki, then there is only the flight you mentioned, but you took a flight to Tokyo last night, and then came to Okinawa from Tokyo.

In this way, although you took a long detour, you actually arrived in Okinawa earlier. As soon as you got off the plane, you drove your rental car to Mr. Nose's morning jogging route and killed him.

Coincidentally, the flight you were on was the same flight as ours. During the flight, the little girl dropped the tennis ball she was carrying, and the gentleman sitting next to her subconsciously caught the tennis ball in the posture of a catcher.

I hadn't originally connected the two of you together, after all, Mr. Benshan disguised himself very well. But your actions now prove that you did meet us on the plane, don't they?"

Motoyama Masaharu suddenly thought of a point and retorted, "That's not the case. If I arrive early, how can I find you from the exit?"

Everyone looked at Kogoro Mori with hope. They felt that he would be able to answer such a simple question.

As a result, Maori Kogoro was also confused, "Yeah, why did you come out of the departure hall?"

Maori Jusaburo sighed. Since he joined the U17 team, he often went abroad to play games. He was very familiar with the layout of the airport and helped explain: "Because the departure and arrival areas are connected, you just need to walk in from the arrival area and walk out from the departure area. Someone at the airport should remember this."

A police officer who was with them immediately contacted the airport staff to ask if such a thing had happened.

Perhaps because Motoyama Shoji's operation was not common, the airport staff were deeply impressed by it.

"Mr. Maori, you are right. The staff remembered that someone did this today, and they also verified that the person was Mr. Motoyama Masaharu."

Seeing that his last lie was exposed, Masaharu Motoyama had no choice but to admit that he was the murderer of Nose Rizo.

"He forced me to do this!"

His vicious words puzzled Mr. Teranishi who was standing by. "Mr. Motoyama, I remember that it was Mr. Nose who introduced you to the job of a reporter. Aren't you two friends? Why did you kill him?"

Masaharu Motoyama sat on the ground in despair and talked about his motive for committing the crime.

“Yeah, I was indeed grateful to Snob before, but since I knew the truth about my retirement, the person I hated the most was him.

It turned out that my shoulder injury at that time was closely related to him. He told me that I had a small habit when pitching, which might hinder the game. I practiced pitching over and over again, trying to correct this shortcoming. Due to long-term training, my shoulder had problems.

After that, his condition became worse and worse, and he had no choice but to retire. He even came to me hypocritically to recommend a job to me. I learned about this from an interview with him. ”

That's right, the deceased in this case, Neng Shilisan, was not a perfect victim. He was selfish and narrow-minded. Because of his words, he ruined the career of an outstanding athlete. He was indeed a scumbag.

As an athlete himself, Mori Jusaburo naturally felt sorry for Motoyama Masaharu, but he did not agree with Motoyama's approach.

"Mr. Motoyama, Mr. Nose is indeed hateful, but that's no reason for you to kill him! No matter what happened between you, you can't use murder as a means of revenge against him."

Maori Jusaburo suddenly thought of Tezuka Kunimitsu, whose career was almost ruined by his senior. If Miyano Osamu had not warned him in advance, Tezuka Kunimitsu might have been beaten in the arm by his jealous senior.

He then developed a chronic illness, which made his career as a professional tennis player even more difficult.

But he knew Tezuka Kunimitsu's character, and he would never kill the jealous senior just for this reason.

What was supposed to be a good interview ended up being a murder case, which disappointed Conan and his friends.

"Originally... forget it."

Kogoro Mouri didn't finish his words, but Conan on the side guessed what he had not finished saying. Unfortunately, Kogoro Mouri didn't get the autograph of Nose Rizo. His wife Eri Kisaki is a fan of the Jaguars.

Unexpectedly, I was fed a lot of dog food.

Kogoro Mori's depressed mood recovered the next second, and he approached Hisashizo Mori in a servile manner.

"Juzaburo, I was the first one to solve this case. It seems that I am the real detective!"

Maori Jusaburo had no interest in the title of "famous detective" at all, and he was not like Yagyu Hiroshi who was obsessed with detectives.

"Yes, yes, you are the best, Kogoro-kun. You are a wise detective just like Sherlock Holmes!"

His halfhearted praise only earned him a glare from Conan. In Conan's opinion, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri was too exaggerated to be discussed together with his beloved Sherlock Holmes.

As the only adult among the four of them, Kogoro Mouri sorted out his complicated feelings, walked towards Mr. Teranishi and asked about the future arrangements.

There was no way their show would go on this time. There were a total of three people participating in the show (not counting Mori Jusaburo who was shoved in halfway through). One of them went to heaven, and another was arrested and imprisoned. Only he, the famous detective, was left. How could the show go on?

"Mr. Teranishi, is our show cancelled?"

"Yes, Mr. Maori, our TV station did not anticipate this incident at all. Moreover, Mr. Motoyama was a sports reporter for our TV station. He killed the famous Nose player, and the TV station is now in an uproar.

We have been discussing this matter, and there is no conclusion at this moment, but it is highly likely that we will not record this show again.”

What Kogoro Maori was most worried about was not the program, but the agreed remuneration and the expenses.

"that......"

Before he even asked, Mr. Teranishi knew what he was worried about and immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, Mr. Maori, our TV station will reimburse all your accommodation and transportation expenses this time.

If you want to spend a day in Okinawa today, we will also cover the cost.”

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Kogoro Mouri was almost moved to tears, and he decided that he would be a loyal viewer of Nichimi TV in the future!

Mr. Teranishi has a deep understanding of Kogoro Mori's ability to detect cases. As for the famous detective, the senior executives of the TV station all agree to establish a good relationship with him, as maybe one day in the future they will need his help.

That's why Mr. Teranishi could say that with such certainty.
