Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

After showing off on TV, Takashi Matsuo still came to Inspector Megure obediently and wanted to explain some things to him.

"Oh! Did you call Suwa?" Inspector Megure asked after hearing what Matsuo Takashi said.

Takashi Matsuo has already said on TV that he will do his best to track down the murderer, so of course he needs to show his ability. He can't just do nothing.

So he took the assistant from before and found Inspector Megure, and told him that he had asked the assistant to call Michihiko Suwa when the commercials were playing during the live broadcast.

"Yes, I called at 8:15 and Mr. Suwa answered the phone. Then when I called again at 8:55, no one answered."

The assistant said to Inspector Megure.

(Perhaps those of you who use smartphones today don't understand why this survey is being conducted. Can't you just look at the call logs to see the number and time dialed?

In fact, the old-fashioned mobile phones at that time did not display call logs at all, and did not have this function, so this kind of investigation dialogue was required.)

“这么说来，犯罪时间就可以确定在8点15分到8点55分这40分钟之内了。”目暮警官低头自言自语地沉吟道，然后抬起头继续询问着助理小哥。

"Why did you call him?"

"I asked him to call to confirm Mr. Suwa's location because I was doing a program and I didn't know Mr. Suwa's phone number. (Remember this because you'll be tested later.)"

Takashi Matsuo brought his assistant here for this purpose.

He knew that when the police started investigating Suwa Michihiko's acquaintances, he would definitely come into the police's sight, so he deliberately revealed some information that was beneficial to him to the police in an attempt to reduce the suspicion on himself.

"Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that you seem to be very familiar with the use of guns!"

At this time, Inspector Megure had also begun to suspect Takashi Kamimatsuo. He looked at him with suspicion and asked him.

"Are you... doubting me?" Takashi Matsuo became visibly nervous.

He had done so much to reduce the police's suspicion, but now it seemed that the police were becoming more and more suspicious of him. So, cold sweat began to form on Takashi Matsuo's forehead.

After briefly confusing the police and Kogoro Mori at the beginning, all his disguise arrangements were exposed by Fujiwara Hiroshi over there.

His plan to direct the police investigation to the robbery and murder was aborted. Fortunately, Fujiwara Hiroshi said that he would no longer interfere in the case today, which made him feel relieved for the time being.

Then a little kid named Conan who followed Mouri Kogoro appeared and pointed out that Suwa Michihiko might have been talking on the phone with someone before he died.

This almost broke his defense. He originally felt that he was very confident and sure of his techniques, but they were gradually being cracked. Even a child could see the problem. He began to doubt his life.

Now something even worse happened. Inspector Megure, who had been following his line of thought, began to turn his suspicion to Takashi Matsuo.

This isn't right! This isn't right! He had clearly designed a set of methods himself, and brought people to help solve the case, but how come one by one, everyone was slowly turning their suspicions towards him? He was really a little panicked.

Before, neither the ideas that Fujiwara Hiroshi had said nor the direction of that little devil Conan was pointing to himself, and the final right of investigation was in the hands of the police after all, so all he had to do was to appease the police.

Now the police representative, Inspector Megure, has also begun to suspect him. This is the real source of Matsuo Takashi's panic. He feels that his situation is starting to get worse.

"I'm hosting a show from 8 to 9 o'clock!" Takashi Matsuo no longer hesitated and directly revealed his trump card.

As long as he doesn't have the time to commit the crime, even if the police and these detectives suspect him, they can't do anything to him.

"Are you saying you don't have time to leave at all?"

Inspector Megure touched his chin and looked up at the ceiling, thinking that the reasoning that Takashi Matsuo was the murderer seemed to be invalid based on the timeline.

"No, during the program, short films were played for 4 minutes. During that time..." Kogoro Mouri didn't finish his words, but the subtext was obvious: you had been away for a while.

Now, even Kogoro Mori has chosen Takashi Matsuo as his suspect. Actually, Kogoro Mori cannot be blamed. The most important thing is that there is no other suspect in this case except Takashi Matsuo.

If it is the same as previous cases, there will at least be a choice between three. In this case, there is at least a way for Mori to save his life. Kogoro Mori will come forward and set an example to eliminate a candidate for the murderer for everyone.

But before the real murderer is deduced by Conan, at least the real murderer will have a more comfortable time during the interrogation stage with the help of Kogoro Mouri.

This time, considering all the clues, only Takashi Matsuo meets all the characteristics of a suspect: he had conflicts with Michihiko Suwa, was proficient in firearms, and had asked about Michihiko Suwa's location before the incident.

If all these things were coincidences, then when combined together, so many coincidences would definitely not be coincidences anymore, but must have been designed by humans.

But there is an unavoidable issue here, which is that Takashi Matsuo happened to be doing a live broadcast at that time, and audiences across the country could testify for him.

And Kogoro Mori stayed next to Takashi Matsuo as a guest throughout the whole process. If this timeline cannot be cracked, it will be impossible to prove that Takashi Matsuo is the murderer!

"I left the studio at that time because I went to the bathroom." Takashi Matsuo was not panicked at all. He only disappeared for 4 minutes.

"I see you didn't go to the bathroom, but came into this room with a pistol, right?"

Kogoro Mouri no longer concealed his feelings and just went straight to the point of attacking. This time, with no other options left, Kogoro Mouri finally had no wrong answers.

"Really? If you think I'm lying, just try it and you'll know!"

Seeing that everyone suspected him of being the murderer, Takashi Matsuo simply stopped pretending. He lost the kind face he pretended to be when he was doing the show before, and his eyebrows were beaming. He showed his gloomy face and retorted to Kogoro Mouri.

Takashi Matsuo's idea was extremely simple. Everyone began to suspect that he was the murderer. At this time, nothing he said would work. It would be better to let them conduct the experiment directly.

As long as they timed the experiment of running from the studio to the mixing room on the fourth floor, there was no way they could complete a round trip in 4 minutes. He was absolutely confident of this.
