Chapter 1199 Solving the Puzzle of the Old Sofa

December 22, Sunday, morning, Akebono Town, Tanaka Yuri House.

After listening to Yuan Tai's words, Conan said: "Since the murderer did not take the money and property after the murder, the murderer must have committed the crime because of something like hatred, so the murderer probably knew the deceased, and then you can find out by checking the phone number of this house." narrow down."

Mitsuhiko said: "But it may also be an accident, like a salesman or something."

Conan said: "It is possible, but salesmen are frustrated, and the chances of conflict with their employers and killing people are very small."

Mitsuhiko asked: "But there are, isn't it?"

Conan said: "Yes, but when there is no clue, the tune has to be obtained step by step from the inside to the outside."

"But, but..." Mitsuhiko couldn't refute for a while.

Officer Takagi said: "Conan is right, the investigation should be done step by step from the inside out."

"Yes." Mitsuhiko was a little disappointed.

"That," Officer Takagi said to Officer Chiba with some embarrassment, "Chiba, please check the phone number of Tanaka's house. I'll call the Megure Police Department and ask him to help apply for a telephone investigation."

"Yes, I'll give you the big head." Police Officer Chiba said with a smile, "But remember to owe me a meal."

"No problem, thank you." Officer Takagi smiled, and then went out to make a phone call.

Genta asked curiously about Police Officer Chiba: "Hey, what is the big head?"

"Oh, it's the big part of the credit." Officer Chiba said.

"Why is that?" Conan asked curiously.

Police Officer Chiba said with a smile: "It's not for Officer Sato, Takagi is full of energy now."

Ayumi imagined: "Ah, are they going to get married?"

"No, no, no," Police Officer Chiba sweated, and said quickly, "They don't even have a relationship. It's because Takagi feels that he still doesn't deserve Officer Sato, so he's working hard. Anyway, I don't have any ambitions. It doesn't matter if you have less credit."

"So that's the case." Yuan Tai said.

Ayumi smiled and said, "Officer Chiba, you are really a good person."

"It's okay." Officer Chiba scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said.

"Okay, let's go too." Conan said.

Ayumi asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course it's a survey salesman." Conan laughed.

"Yeah." Mitsuhiko smiled happily. ...

At noon, Akebono shopping street, a beverage store.

Mitsuhiko reported to police officers Takagi and Chiba about the investigation of the salesman by their four young detectives. Yesterday afternoon, a total of eleven salesmen appeared in a building and apartment near the Tanaka Yuri house, but no one had seen them They entered Tanaka Lily House.

According to the neighbors, Lily Tanaka didn't wait for the salesman, and she used to drive people away with a broom.

After Mitsuhiko finished speaking, Conan asked, "Officer, how is the phone list?"

Police officer Chiba said: "I carefully investigated Mrs. Tanaka's home, and found no mobile phones and mobile phones, not even the packing box, so Mrs. Tanaka may not use mobile phones and mobile phones like some elderly people."

Officer Takagi said: "According to the landline phone list of Mrs. Tanaka's house, the landline number and mobile phone number that Mrs. Tanaka often calls are the landline number of Ms. Hosono Sanae's apartment and her mobile phone, and the landline number of Mr. Tokunaga and Hiroshi's apartment The phone and her mobile phone, and the last call to Mrs. Tanaka's house was around 4:00 p.m., and it was a phone booth number near the Akebono-machi bus stop."

bus station? Conan's heart moved, "That's what the murderer did."

Ayumi said: "I know Miss Hosono Sanae, she is the owner of a flower shop."

Conan added: "Miss Hosono is about thirty years old, and her flower shop is near Tanaka House.

I was alone at the flower shop yesterday afternoon, and there was no alibi. "

Mitsuhiko said: "Miss Hosono said that Mrs. Tanaka often buys flowers from her to decorate her room."

Yuan Tai said: "However, we have not met a person named Tokunaga and Hiroshi."

Mitsuhiko guessed: "By the way, will the voice change? It's the voice of a middle-aged man."

Officer Chiba said, "It's not impossible."

Conan asked: "Officer, if you have a landline, there should be an exact address. Do you know the identity of Mr. Tokunaga and Hiroshi?"

Officer Takagi said: "We have already learned from the patrolling police officer that Mr. Tokunaga Kazuhiro is about forty years old and is the owner of an izakaya."

Yuan Tai said: "Ah, it happens to be a middle-aged man, and he doesn't have to go to work in the afternoon, so he is the murderer."

Mitsuhiko said: "Yuantai, this will only be known after investigation."

Ayumi said: "Mitsuhiko is right, let's go find him."

Conan smiled and said, "Wait, let's borrow something first."...

Tokunaga Kazuhiro's apartment is near Tanaka Yuri's house, but there is no one in it. Everyone went to his izakaya and found a middle-aged man sorting things inside.

Officer Takagi asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Kazuhiro Tokunaga?"

"Yes." Tokunaga Kazuhiro asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Police officer Chiba showed his police officer ID, "I am Chiba from the First Search Section of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Police officer Takagi showed his police officer ID, "I'm Takagi from the First Search Section of the Metropolitan Police Department. I want you to assist in the investigation of an incident. I wonder if you are free now?"

"Of course." Tokunaga Kazuhiro said, "Please tell me."

Officer Takagi asked: "Excuse me, do you know Mrs. Tanaka Yuri?"

"I know." Tokunaga and Hiroshi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Lady Tanaka was killed." Police Officer Chiba said.

"What? Mrs. Tanaka is dead?" Tokunaga and Hongda were taken aback, and then asked in surprise, "Ah, you don't suspect me, do you?"

Officer Takagi asked, "Where were you yesterday afternoon?"

"Did the time of death be in the afternoon?" Tokunaga and Hiroshi were a little excited, "I slept in the apartment yesterday afternoon, and I was the only one in my apartment. I really don't have an alibi, but you can't doubt me because of this."

Officer Takagi said: "Please calm down, we are just looking for you to assist in the investigation."

After a while, Tokunaga and Hiro calmed down.

Officer Chiba said: "Mr. Tokunaga, we found that you and Mrs. Tanaka are in frequent contact. What is the relationship between you?"

Tokunaga Kazuhiro said: "I have known Mrs. Tanaka's family for a long time. The business of my izakaya has been mediocre. Since the consumption tax has risen, the business has been a bit bad. I tried to borrow money from Mrs. Tanaka. After that, we Just keep in touch."

"So that's how it is." Officer Takagi said, "Then let's leave it at that, sorry to bother you."...

Akebono Home Economics Club.

Officer Takagi took a tape recorder and played the conversation with Tokunaga Kazuhiro just now, and listened to the four cleaners who went to Mrs. Tanaka's house yesterday. This is Conan's method.

The four cleaners heard it several times, but they couldn't confirm it, they just said it was similar.

Yuan Tai said: "The prisoner is him."

Police officer Chiba said: "Unless the two recordings are confirmed to be the same after analysis with equipment, otherwise the evidence is not enough to prove that he is the murderer."

Yuan Tai complained: "It's so troublesome."

Officer Chiba said: "This kind of thing can't be sloppy."

Officer Takagi said distressedly: "The problem now is that the scene has been cleaned up and there is no evidence at all."

Mitsuhiko said: "By the way, his motive for killing must be money."

Ayumi said: "But he didn't take away the belongings in the room."

Mitsuhiko said: "No, he should have left the more valuable thing, which is the IOU."

Officer Takagi said: "But it's been a day, and the IOU should have been disposed of long ago."

Yuan Tai complained: "Really, how could this happen? Obviously the prisoner is there, but there is no evidence."

Conan said: "By the way, Officer Takagi, can you invite these four to Mrs. Tanaka's house and restore it to the way it was before they cleaned it."

"Hey!" Officer Takagi's eyes lit up, "This is a good way."...

Tanaka Lily House.

After the group got out of the car, they met two housewives passing by.

Woman A said, "Let me tell you, that guy Tokunaga is actually a voyeur?"

Woman B said, "Isn't he? He looks very honest."

Woman A said: "I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. He looked around with a telescope at home, so how could he be wrong?"

Woman A and B said: "Really! Be careful next time."

Hearing what they said, Officer Takagi quickly stopped them.

After showing his police officer ID, Officer Takagi asked, "Excuse me, is the Tokunaga you just mentioned Mr. Tokunaga Kazuhiro?"

"That's right, it's him, the owner of Tokunaga Izakaya." Woman A said, "We live in the same apartment building as him."

Officer Takagi asked: "Excuse me, you just said that you saw him with a telescope at home. What time was that?"

"It was around 3:30 in the afternoon," said woman A. "By the way, this car from Akebono Home Economics was also parked outside this Tanaka's house."

"Great." Officer Takagi asked, "Can you tell me what you saw?"

"Of course." Woman A said, "I was passing by here, and my eyes were illuminated by something reflective, and then I looked carefully, and saw that it was in the window of De Yong's house. I saw him holding a telescope. , standing behind the window and looking this way."

"That's it!" Officer Chiba smiled happily.

Yuan Tai said: "I remember he said he was sleeping at home."

Ayumi said: "He lied, it's really bad."

Mitsuhiko said: "He should be worried, so he has been staring at Mrs. Tanaka's house."

Cleaner A said: "So he can call when we are finishing our work."

The cleaner Ding said, "Because he's been watching."

Cleaner C said, "This bastard."

Woman B asked, "What happened to him?"

Cleaner B said: "He killed the old lady in this house."

"What!" The two women were taken aback.

Officer Takagi said quickly: "No, no, it's not certain yet, Mr. Tokunaga is just a suspect."

"Ah, I thought of it." Mitsuhiko clapped his hands and laughed, "He must not dare to use his own phone at the phone booth, so he can only go to the phone booth to make a call. There are many people at the bus stop, so he must be able to find witnesses."

Yuan Tai was puzzled, "But, isn't it just him calling?"

"Yeah, what does it matter?" Ayumi didn't understand.

Mitsuhiko smiled and said, "It's the time to make calls and the time to answer the phone."

Conan smiled in his heart, good job, Mitsuhiko, you really solved a case this time.

"That's right." Officer Takagi smiled, "Just check the phone number in the phone booth, and you'll know everything."

Officer Chiba flipped through the police handbook, "Yesterday at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the cleaning staff of Akebono Home Economics Club received a call on the landline of Tanaka's house, asking them to move the sofa with the body hidden, so it is certain that this call who, if not the murderer himself, is an associate of the murderer."

"That's right," Police Officer Takagi said with a smile, "If someone saw Mr. Tokunaga making a phone call in that phone booth at around four o'clock yesterday afternoon, then Mr. Tokunaga must be the person involved in the incident."

Cleaner A said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go together, Mr. Police, we will help you expose this guy's true colors."

"Yes, let's go together." Woman A said, and then praised Mitsuhiko, "Little friend, your brain is really good."

Mitsuhiko was a little embarrassed, "The results haven't come out yet."

"I am optimistic about you." Woman B smiled, "I will call my friends to help."...

Akebonocho bus stop.

After expanding a team of housewives, the crowd cast a large net and really caught a witness.

The eyewitness said that he saw someone making a phone call in the public telephone booth near the Akebono bus station at about four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Although this person was wearing a hat and mask, he still knew him. Tokunaga Kazuhiro, the owner of Nagai Izakaya. ...
