Conan wants to lie down but won't let him
Chapter 66 Alibi
"Tozawa Yuzo, I must arrest you now for the murder of Tozawa Tetsuji!" Officer Yokomizo had no time to listen to the three brothers chatting about family matters, and raised his voice sternly.
"Mr. Detective, please wait a moment!" Suzuki Ayako, who was accompanied by Fujiwara Hiroshi, did not speak, but Suzuki Sonoko next to her spoke up to stop her.
Officer Yokomizo turned around, looking confused, not knowing what new situation had occurred.
"We did see the murderer's face yesterday," Sonoko continued.
"But all we see are the murderer's eyes and nose. The murderer was wearing a hat and a mask, so we can only see the eyes and nose that are exposed." Xiaolan also took over and said.
"That's true! But we had no idea that Brother Xiong San had two brothers who looked so similar to him." Sonoko continued to answer Xiaolan's words.
"Officer Yokomizo, isn't this very clear? No matter how the murderer changes, it must be one of these three brothers!" Fujiwara Hiroshi said with his hands in his pockets.
"That's right! This is exactly my point of view. The murderer is one of you three! Mr. Fujiwara, I was busy greeting Mr. Mori just now. It was really rude!" Officer Yokomizo then noticed Fujiwara Hiroshi standing next to him and said embarrassedly.
"It's okay! Officer Yokomizo, next time you have time to come to Tokyo, Brother Mori and I will treat you well. We are old friends. The current Mori Detective Agency is jointly opened by the two of us. You are welcome to visit Tokyo!" Fujiwara Hiroshi replied.
"Hmph! If you want to investigate, just investigate those two guys! I was outside Honshu Island last night! I was on a business trip for the company, and I just arrived at Haneda Airport three hours ago on the earliest flight this morning. The last flight from here to there is at 8 o'clock in the evening. So it is unlikely that I would appear in the villa during the time of the incident!" Tomizawa Tatsuji was the first to speak in defense.
This guy practically had "I'm a suspect" written all over his face. Upon learning his father was dead, his first reaction was to pull out his alibi. Then, at the end, a hint of amusement crossed his face. What the hell? Your dad's dead, and you're acting like this! Anyone analyzing the case, let alone the police, would have to label you a suspect.
But then again, none of these three showed any sadness upon hearing the news of their father's death. No wonder all three of them became suspects. There's a reason for that. If Tetsuji Tozawa hadn't died, he would probably have died on the spot after seeing the reactions of these three older sons.
"One of you go and confirm the flight information." Officer Yokomizo instructed a police officer.
"Officer, I have something that I don't know if it can be considered as evidence?" At this time, Taichi Tomizawa came out and said, "Well, no one really wants to go and take a look at your father who is lying there and is already cold."
"There are two messages on the phone: Do you know what time it is? It's already 3:10. That's strange. Dad should have arrived at 3:10! The recording time is 3:10 in the afternoon." Everyone moved to the answering machine in the room and pressed the play button on the answering machine. The speaker played two recordings of yesterday's answering machine calls. The first one was at 3:10 in the afternoon, and the time was completely correct because the 3:10 confirmed in the phone recording was consistent with the recording time of the recording, which meant that this was corroborated.
"Hello! Dad, it's me Taiyi." Then the second recording was played.
"This is my voice." Tomizawa Taichi quickly stepped forward and began to claim his own phone recording, fearing that others would not know that this was his call and message.
"Great! Dad! The Air-to-Air team finally won! All thanks to Murasakibara's shot in the bottom of the sixth inning. And the home run to right field. Murasakibara is such an excellent hitter! I'll be there tomorrow. The recording time is 11:34 pm." The second recording was also finished.
"Eleven thirty-four? That's right around the time the murder happened!" Officer Yokomizo muttered to himself, then turned around and confirmed with Xiaolan and the others, "The murder happened at eleven thirty, isn't that right?"
"That's right! We just happened to glance at the clock before we saw the murder, so we can be sure!" Ayako replied.
"No matter how you look at it, my brother and I are not the murderer, because that game was only broadcast on satellite TV, and it was already 11:25 when the game ended. If you hadn't watched the game, it would be impossible to know the result of the game." Mr. Tatsuji Tomizawa is quite friendly to his eldest brother Taichi Tomizawa, and he even said a few words for him. If these two cleared themselves, then the murderer must be Tomizawa Yuzo. It seems that this guy doesn't have a good relationship with the other two brothers.
"One more person, go and confirm the radio station's broadcast programs and the radio and television station. Go quickly!" Officer Yokomizo arranged another police officer to check.
"Yes!" the young police officer next to him responded quickly.
"If the murderer is not you and me..." Tomizawa Taiyi said when he saw that his alibi was solid.
"Then it can only be Yuzo!" As Tozawa Tatsuji said this, he turned his head with Tozawa Taichi to look at Tozawa Yuzo.
Good, good! You two have a deep brotherly bond, so isn't Tomizawa Yuzo your third brother? While distancing himself, he also conveniently pulls on the eldest brother, Taichi, and steps on the third brother, Yuzo. This tug-of-war is pretty clear for you. If there were a video recording, this tug-of-war combo would be a tutorial.
"Brother, no! How could I kill Dad?" Seeing his two brothers pointing their spearheads at him, Tomizawa Yuzo took a half step back and said. (Are you serious about taking a half step back?) Tomizawa Yuzo's emotional intelligence is also touching. With such emotional intelligence, he still wants to compete with Fujiwara Hiroshi for Suzuki Ayako. The eldest brother and the second brother have joined forces. The eyewitnesses and the police have confirmed that the murderer must be one of you three brothers by looking at his eyes and nose. Tomizawa Yuzo is still here acting out the scene of father saying goodbye to his son and brothers being friendly and respectful to each other. The eldest brother and the second brother are singing the same tune and are ready to send you to jail, but you are still there acting stupidly. No one else can do that!
"Then, what about your alibi last night?" Officer Yokomizo looked at Taichi Tozawa and Tatsuji Tozawa who were speaking with certainty, and turned his suspicious gaze to Yuzo Tozawa again and asked.
"I was in the studio the whole night." Tomizawa Yuzo's cold sweat was almost flowing down his cheeks. He had no choice but to think of a solution at this time, because the situation was serious. Tomizawa Yuzo finally came to his senses. Now the three of them were equivalent to three brothers fighting for two chairs to sit on. Whoever got one would win, and whoever couldn't would be out. The result of being out was that they would be regarded as the murderer of their father and would be sent to prison directly. This IQ was quite touching. Thinking of this, Tomizawa Yuzo gritted his teeth and gave his alibi. "By the way, I asked a friend who draws illustrations to call and wake me up last night. It was around eleven thirty."
"Please ask someone to wake you up?" Officer Yokomizo's tone was full of doubt.
"Yes! I plan to take a nap first, and then stay up late to finish the work." Tomizawa Yuzo said with a stiff upper lip.
"Then go find this person immediately and confirm this matter." Officer Yokomizo arranged for another police officer to go out and confirm.
Look at Officer Yokomizo, he's here with a whole bunch of people. He's not just showing off; he needs someone to run errands and confirm leads. That's what professionalism is!
As for Tomizawa Yuzo, he was also forced into a corner. His elder and second brothers had both produced alibis. If he couldn't produce one, he would have been arrested. In fact, his alibi was accompanied by another big problem. After hearing that Officer Yokomizo had only asked his friend to confirm the time of the call, which was correct, and that the friend could also prove it, Tomizawa Yuzo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah~ Uncle Taichi should be a fan of Murasakibara, because didn't you praise Murasakibara on the phone? You said he was so awesome, and Murasakibara is the only one who can hit that kind of ball into a home run to right field!" When someone says "ah", it must be that little Conan has found a clue again, a standard statement asking for approval.
With a "bang", Maori Kogoro's iron fist fell down again, "Kid, the adults are handling the case, don't interrupt me, little brat."
"Right outfield? What's going on? Mr. Taichi, you did say on the phone that Murasakibara hit that ball. May I ask if you have actually watched that game?" Officer Yokomizo followed Conan's line of thought and discovered the problem.
"It seems that I'm exposed!" Taichi Tomizawa said calmly.
"Could it be? Could it be that you killed your father?" Officer Yokomizo is very good. You revealed the truth in just one sentence.
"How is this possible... The exposure I just said refers to yesterday's match. I didn't watch it on TV, but heard it. I heard it on the radio. At that time, I was playing shotgun and thinking about the latest chapter design of the novel. Because I live in Osaka, I can only listen to the live broadcast of the match on the radio." Taichi Tomizawa explained that the fact that he heard the match instead of watching it had been exposed, so he said it directly.
At this time, the police officer who had previously gone to investigate the baseball game had returned to the scene and directly told Officer Yokomizo about the broadcast of the game.
"That's right! It's true that only the Osaka area broadcasts the baseball game via radio." The police officer said as he flipped through his notebook.
"And when the case happened yesterday, I left a message on the answering machine here." Taichi Tomizawa was still very confident in the alibi he had created.
"That's right! That's right." It seemed that Officer Yokomizo had really been led into trouble by Taichi Tomizawa.
"Who is it? Who is lying? One of these three must be lying. Why would they take the victim's watch?" Conan still couldn't figure it out. The murderer's actions had been uncovered, and a partial face was visible, yet they still insisted on taking the watch. It couldn't be a robbery and murder. So what was the point of doing that? Conan was still confused.
"Officer Yokomizo, I'm afraid that's not the case!" Fujiwara Hiroshi said.
"What!?" Everyone was shocked! Especially Conan. "I, the person who was there, haven't solved the case yet, and you, Fujiwara Hiroshi, just listened to all the testimonies and you know it?" Conan protested.
"Mr. Fujiwara, do you know who the murderer is?" Officer Yokomizo said excitedly. The last case was solved thanks to Fujiwara Hiroshi's help. Now that Fujiwara Hiroshi has opened a detective agency with Kogoro Mori, his skills are definitely no problem.
"There's no rush, let's analyze it slowly!" Fujiwara Hiroshi spread his hands and began to prepare for reasoning.
"First of all, I want to say that these three can be suspects, even if Xiaolan and others had not witnessed the murderer's appearance and thus identified one of the three brothers as having committed the crime. None of these three suspects can be ruled out." Fujiwara Hiroshi made a shocking statement and started with a big move.
"I'm not kidding! Think carefully. From the moment they showed up until now, those three have been explaining their various alibis, yet not one of them has bothered to see their deceased father for the last time, not even asking. Especially that novelist, Mr. Taichi Tomizawa, who actually considered incorporating this into his novel. Furthermore, the three of them are desperately trying to find alibis for themselves, hoping to send their murderer brother to jail. It's a scene of father and son smiling, of brothers in camaraderie!"
Fujiwara Hiroshi stripped the three men's underwear. Indeed, no one cared about his father lying on the ground, not even a glance. In an instant, everyone looked at the three men with different eyes, and most of them contained contempt.
"This...this..." The three brothers blushed after hearing what Fujiwara Hiroshi said, but they couldn't say a word because what Fujiwara Hiroshi said was all true.
"Next, I will reveal the alibi of Mr. Tatsuji Tozawa. You are so eager to show off that you think your alibi is perfect. In fact, you are stupid and funny." Fujiwara Hiroshi criticized directly.
At this time, the police officer who went to investigate the flight information came back and was about to report to Officer Yokomizo.
"Officer, you've come at the right time. There's no need to hide it and make it difficult to speak out. My inference needs your evidence!" Fujiwara Hiroshi directly stopped the police officer who was about to report and continued.
"If my reasoning is correct, Mr. Tozawa Tatsuji wasn't on today's flight at all. This morning's flight was probably delayed due to the typhoon, so he should have just arrived at Haneda Airport. Excuse me, your name is on the flight, and how did you end up here?"
