Conan wants to lie down but won't let him
Chapter 22: Picking the Right Person
In fact, when Fujiwara Hiroshi first heard about the "Tenkaichi Festival" celebration, he had already recalled this case. Unexpectedly, the incident actually happened in the hotel where Fujiwara Hiroshi was staying. Needless to say, he would definitely run into Conan and his group later.
Fujiwara Hiroshi immediately recognized the sound as a gunshot. The loud noise scared Fujiwara Hiroshi's two wives and the baby in her belly, which made Fujiwara Hiroshi a little annoyed!
"Wait for me in the room, I'll go out and take a look!"
He opened the door and walked directly to the corridor. Fujiwara Hiroshi was very unhappy with the murderer now. After Fujiwara Hiroshi recovered from exercise, even if Akai Shuichi, Gin, Bourbon and Vermouth attacked him together, they were no match for Fujiwara Hiroshi. Even the sniper distance was beyond Akai Shuichi.
As soon as he came out, he saw a masked gangster holding a pistol fleeing quickly towards the stairs. Fujiwara Hiroshi was not going to affect the progress of the case, so he dodged and made way. Just when the gangster thought Fujiwara Hiroshi understood what was going on, Fujiwara Hiroshi kicked the gangster in the back. If you want to run fast, I will give you a ride, but you dared to scare his two wives and children, so he must pay the price.
Nobukazu Sakai had just shot and killed Tomoyuki Imatake in the room, and he had made the room very messy in order to create the illusion of robbery and murder. He took the money from Tomoyuki Imatake's wallet and quickly evacuated the scene. All he had to do next was dispose of the crime tools, and then rush to the scene of the first festival, randomly find a passerby to help take pictures, and connect them with the old photos from last year, so he would have a strong alibi.
But now, he was kicked out as soon as he left the room. He quickly stood up, without thinking, and without caring why Fujiwara Hiroshi kicked him, he ran out of the door!
Next, Sai Jingxuanyi arranged to dispose of the murder weapon and the clothes stained with gun smoke at the mountain stream as originally planned, and then headed straight to the celebration site.
After Fujiwara Hiroshi kicked Sakai Nobuichi, his anger subsided and he turned back to his room. Others who were close to Imatake Tomo's room saw the door wide open and that Imatake Tomo had been killed in the room, so they immediately reported the case.
Fujiwara Hiroshi took advantage of this opportunity and, before the police arrived to seal off the hotel, quickly called Ozaki to pick them up and take them to the Tenkaichi Festival. They had come here to attend the festival, and stumbling upon a crime scene like this was already bad luck. If the festival was over by the time the police arrived, their trip would have been in vain.
Shortly after Fujiwara Hiroshi and the other two left, the police arrived at the scene, led by Officer Sango Yokomizo. After a preliminary investigation, they discovered that the victim had been shot at close range and was brushing his teeth at the time of his death, clearly an acquaintance. The scene was also deliberately left in a mess. The noise was so loud, considering the victim was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, that would have been quickly noticed and investigated. Furthermore, according to the statements of onlookers near the scene, the suspect was seen running out immediately after the gunshot. As he reached the corner of the stairs, he was kicked. Therefore, there was no way he had time to leave the room in such a mess!
Officer Yokomizo concluded: Poor acting! Trying to imitate robbery and murder with such illogicality really underestimated the police's investigative capabilities.

Meanwhile, Maori Kogoro, Ran, and Conan were also strolling with the crowds in the festival. Ran was so thoughtful that she bought a little white rabbit balloon for Edogawa Conan, to which Conan could only say, "Haha!"
At this time, Xuanyi Sakai, who thought he had returned to his previous year's outfit, ran quickly into the crowd. In order to save time, he ran too fast and was a little out of breath. He bent over, supported his palms on his thighs, and kept taking deep breaths.
After recovering a bit, he looked around, searching for someone to take a photo and create an alibi. When he saw the Mori family, he felt he'd found the right candidates: the goofy Kogoro, the kindly Ran, and the goofy Conan Edogawa, with a bunny balloon tied to his head. It must be said that Nobuo Sakai had a pretty good eye for people. He had to pick the Shinigami family as his alibi. You're even better at counting troops than Khan in "The Ballad of Mulan." Today's inevitable outcome is a new life in prison.
"Excuse me, miss! Could you please take a picture of that burning 'one'?"
Nobuichi Sai invited Ran to help take photos. Conan was also looking at this man with great confusion. He was obviously sweating all over, but he refused to take off his suit jacket.
Just as Xiaolan was happily taking pictures of Sai Shinichi, a person with coral hair and a long face entered the camera. It turned out that after a brief analysis of the scene, Officer Yokomizo focused his suspicion on an acquaintance of Imatake Satoshi. After questioning the hotel owner, he learned that the person who lived with Imatake Satoshi was Sai Shinichi. He then learned that Sai Shinichi had come to the "Tenkaichi Festival" celebration, so Officer Yokomizo led the team to look for Sai Shinichi.
"Hello, is this Mr. Saii Nobuichi? I'm Yokomizo Sango, the Saitama Prefectural Police. I need your cooperation in the investigation of Mr. Imatake Satoshi."
"What happened to Imatake?" At this time, Nobuichi Sakai started to show off his acting skills.
"He was killed. In the hotel where you were staying together." Officer Yokomizo said, staring at Nobuichi Sakai to observe his reaction.
"What!? How could this happen?" Sai Shinichi was still performing hard, showing a surprised expression.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa both cast suspicious eyes on Nobuichi Sakai. The timing of this person's appearance was too coincidental, and he deliberately found them to take pictures. There must be a special reason behind it. Some strange actions and movements seemed to have a reasonable and logical explanation.
Soon, several people returned to the hotel where the crime occurred in a police car. The Maori family of three, as a witness in the timeline of Nobuichi Sakai, were also taken back to the hotel.
Several people came to the room where Satoshi Imatake was killed. Conan began to investigate and search for evidence, while Mori asked Officer Yokomizo about the situation.
"Um! Officer Yokomizo, could you please give us a brief account of what happened?" Kogoro Mouri asked with a fake cough.
"Here's what happened: We received a report of a man being shot here! So, we brought someone to the scene. After my initial investigation, I can basically conclude it was... an acquaintance!! So, we brought you, a friend of the deceased, Satoshi Imatake, who was staying at the same hotel with us, back for routine questioning." Officer Yokomizo glanced suspiciously at Kogoro Mori, feeling it wasn't a question someone would ask. Then, when he mentioned the acquaintance, he stared intently at Nobu Sakai and spoke each word.
"Hey, Officer Yokomizo, why are you looking at me like that?" Sensing Officer Yokomizo's suspicious gaze, Saeki Nobuichi stepped back, shaking his head. "I was at the celebration all night. I have an alibi. This camera has all the photos I took tonight. Develop them and you'll see. I was there from the evening when the word '天' burned, right up until the word '一' burned. Officer, if you find me, just develop the photos and you'll prove my innocence." He eagerly handed over the camera.
"That's too deliberate!" Conan, Maori Kogoro, and Officer Yokomizo all thought of this at the same time. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet.
