The famous criminal in the world of Conan

"So this pot of beef illustrates a problem,"

Bai Masong said lightly,

"This stove has been turned off for a long time."

"The reason..... must be that thing..."

As he spoke, Bai Masong glanced at the place that Sato Miwako had shown them before, the earthquake sensor on the gas tank, the meaning of which was very obvious.

Sato Miwako nodded.

"Yes."

"There was an earthquake around 3 o'clock this afternoon. The tremor was very obvious. It must have been over magnitude 3."

"According to the principle of the earthquake sensor, the stove was extinguished at that time, and it has never been lit since then."

"And it's obvious that it's not that Ms. Umeda didn't want to light the fire, but that she couldn't because she died before the earthquake."

"Clap clap-"

Bai Masong clapped his hands lightly and smiled faintly.

"Very good, very well done."

"Now that you have found all the pieces of the puzzle, we can start solving it."

"Where is the other 'corpse' used by the murderer to disguise it? Find it; question the three people and find the real person who has no alibi."

"Yes!" x2

.......................................

after a while

A police officer walked in, escorting a man wearing a leather jacket, with his hands in his pockets and a somewhat nervous look on his face. Following the man were Kijima Minoru, Ishikawa Jiro and Nakamura Yoko.

"Officer Hakuba, this is the suspect we found nearby - Shimizu Masataka"

Shiratori Renzaburo pointed at the suspect Shimizu Masataka who was brought up and introduced him to Hakuba Song.

"When our officers found him, he was sitting in a park not far from here, daydreaming. His behavior was very suspicious, so our officers approached him immediately."

"So, we brought him back here, and after our comparison, we found that,"

Then, Shiratori Renzaburo pointed at the shoe prints on the ground and said,

"These shoe prints on the floor of Ms. Umeda's room match the shoes of the suspect Masataka Shimizu exactly."

"In other words, Shimizu Masataka is undoubtedly the suspect who left the shoe prints on the ground."

"Um,"

Bai Masong listened to what Shiratori Renzaburo said, nodded, and then looked at Kijima Minoru, Ishikawa Jiro, and Nakamura Yoko who were standing next to him.

"Mr. Kijima, Mr. Ishikawa, Ms. Nakamura, please identify this Mr. Shimizu Masataka and see if he is the suspicious man you saw in the parking lot."

As soon as Bai Masong finished speaking, before Kijima Minoru and Ishikawa Jiro could respond, Nakamura Yoko nodded repeatedly and said,

"That's right, Officer Bai Ma, you got the right person."

"This guy is the one we saw at the time. He was the one who bumped into me and glared at me in an attempt to intimidate me!"

"I didn't glare at you!"

Shimizu Masataka listened to what Nakamura Yoko said and couldn't wait to refute it.

"I didn't mean to scare you! I just took a look at you because you were wearing the same strange clothes as the woman lying on the floor in the room!"

"So you admit that you've been to Sister Umeda's room!"

Yoko Nakamura pointed at Masataka Shimizu and shouted harshly.

"I never fucking denied it!"

Shimizu Masataka felt that he was wronged. He cooperated very well, but was always misunderstood.

"I told the police officer that I had indeed been in this room!"

"Then do you admit that you took Sister Umeda's things?!"

"I admit it!"

"Where's that thing?"

“I called the police!”

......

The two of them spoke one sentence each, asking and answering questions quickly. No matter what Yoko Nakamura said, Masataka Shimizu answered her questions very frankly.

Nakamura Yoko pursed her lips and suddenly said,

"Then do you admit that you killed Sister Umeda?"

"No, no, no, I don't admit it!"

It was obvious that Shimizu Masataka was still in his right mind and had not been fooled by Nakamura Yoko. He waved his hands and shouted,

"Miss, officers, you can't just accuse me. I didn't kill anyone. I never killed anyone!"

"Then why are you in this room?"

Bai Ma Song asked Shimizu Masataka calmly.

"I......"

Shimizu Masataka was about to answer.

Kijima Minoru, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Shimizu Masataka's words, and looked at Hakuba Song and said,

"Officer White Horse, I don't think we need to listen to what this guy has to say anymore."

"It is impossible for a murderer to admit that he has killed someone."

"No, officer, I really didn't kill anyone..."

When Shimizu Masataka heard what Kido Shima said, he suddenly became anxious and shouted to Hakumasong.

Baimasong stretched out his hand and pressed downwards, meaning that you all should not be in a hurry.

He ignored Kijima Minoru and asked Shimizu Masataka first,

"Mr. Shimizu, tell me why you appeared in Ms. Umeda's house."

"I, I came here on a commission."

Shimizu Masataka lowered his head slightly and spoke with an evasive look.

Seeing him like this, anyone with a discerning eye would know that something was wrong.

Shiratori Renzaburo asked directly,

"Commission? What kind of commission? From whom did you receive it?"

"I received the commission online. As for who it was from, I don't know."

Shimizu Masataka said very simply.

On the Internet...

Bai Masong and others raised their eyebrows. The times are constantly progressing, and the world of science is also constantly progressing.

When Baimashong first came here, people were still using mobile phones, but now almost everyone is using flip phones, and surfing the Internet has become a popular behavior.

However, this new method is a new challenge for the police in this world, and the same is true for Bai Masong.

The times are advancing, but the criminal investigation methods of the police system have not been updated and are still using the old methods. Coupled with the lack of technical personnel in the police force, it is often difficult to deal with cybercrimes and online transactions.

This is also the reason why Shimizu Masataka feels a little guilty. He knows that many of the commissions he receives online are actually not very legal.

Just like this time...

"Actually, I don't often take on commissions like this."

Shimizu Masataka muttered,

"It's just that the man gave too much, and the commission was so simple, I couldn't help but accept it."

"What did the commission ask you to do?"

Bai Masong asked calmly.

He was too lazy to worry about what criminal record Shimizu Masatoshi had, or what kind of commissions he had accepted. These had nothing to do with him for the time being. Even if Shimizu Masatoshi really had other problems, that was the business of other police departments and had nothing to do with their three departments. At most, he would transfer Shimizu Masatoshi over there and provide assistance.
