Chapter 148 The Game of Spelling and Splitting Words

Saturday, June 22.

In the evening, when Lan, Conan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, Mei Daiko and Okino Yoko passed by today's shooting scene, they found Mr. Anzai lying in a pool of blood.

Going forward to check, Yamazaki confirmed that Mr. Anzai was dead.

Mr. Anxi turned his head to the left, facing the front of the temple, lying on the edge of the platform in front of the temple, only his left hand was resting on the steps under the platform, and Mr. Anxi's right hand was near the stone lion in front of the gate. Written in blood. The murder weapon, the knife, was on the platform on the right side, and the hat and vest were on the platform in front of the head. There were a lot of bloodstains around, including the two stone lions in front of the temple gate. ...

The policeman who led the team was from the Mugure Police Department. While the forensic personnel were working, they were going to ask everyone about the situation. Mao Li, the location team, and the abbot all came.

However, before it even started, Mao Li put up two fingers and said with a smile: "Megure Police Department, this case is unexpectedly simple. First, the knife used as the murder weapon is a prop used in filming. Second, Anzai The stone lion written in sir's blood refers to the shrine, and judging from these two points, the culprit is, Ms. Mamegaki Taeko, you are."

Megure Police Department asked: "Miss Taeko, can someone testify for you?"

"No," Miss Taeko said, "my grandfather has gone outside, so I'm alone."

"But, Dad," Lan said, "when Ms. Taeko came back, she happened to meet Mr. Anzai who was about to leave the hotel, and the two of them passed by."

"What?" Mao Li said to himself, "Miss Taeko has been staying in the living room since she came back, so it is impossible to commit crimes at all?"

Pushing Maori aside, the Mumu Police Department began to ask everyone about the situation.

Since the knife used as the murder weapon was a prop used during filming, the suspect was locked in the location team.

Tonight, those who acted alone were Ms. Taeko who had to go home for something, Mr. Shimazaki who went out to buy cigarettes, and Mr. Nachi who was staying at the Teidan Hotel.

Mr. Anzai left the meeting before half past nine, and Ms. Taeko left after Mr. Anzai. When Mr. Shimazaki went out, Conan happened to look at the clock. It was nine forty-five and he came back at ten fifteen. point.

At ten o'clock, with the alarm ringing of Mr. Anxi's unique watch, Lan and others found that Mr. Anxi had gone out, and then they met Miss Taeko downstairs, and it was around ten thirty when they found the black shadow.

The Megure Police Department concluded: "That is to say, the time of the incident was between ten o'clock and ten thirty, and Mr. Shimazaki and Mr. Nachi have no alibi." Mr. Saki is already at the hotel, so, Mr. Nachi, can you tell me where you were at that time?"

Mr. Nazhi said: "I was in the hotel bar before ten o'clock, and there are a lot of people who can testify for me."

Megure police department said: "I mean after ten o'clock."

Mr. Nachi said, "I'm staying in the hotel room."

The Mumu Police Department asked, "Are there any witnesses?"

"No, no." Mr. Nazhi said.

At this time, the forensic personnel reported that it could pass. Also, there were no fingerprints on the murder weapon, but there were traces of being wiped.

"The death message left by Mr. Anxi is a stone lion." Looking at the blood on the ground, Mumu Police Department asked,

"Do any of you have that nickname?"

Maori asked, "Mr. Nazhi?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Mr. Nazhi yelled, "How could a handsome guy like me have such a vulgar nickname like a stone lion? It's absolutely impossible."

At this time, a forensic officer came to report and found some photos in Mr. Anxi's room, which were about Mr. Nazhi.

Seeing the photo, Mr. Nachi and a woman were hugging each other intimately. Mouri immediately shouted: "Ah! This is the actress Ritsuko Ogiyama, but she is already married. I know. Mr. Anzai must be blackmailing you with this, so You killed him."

"No." Mr. Nazhi immediately shouted, "That's not the case."

Conan asked: "Sister Sonoko, have you seen it?"

"I heard that Mr. Anxi said to Mr. Nazhi, 'This is a photo of you and that woman, if you don't want these to be spread...'" Sonoko said, "I didn't listen to it later."

"Sure enough." Mao Li smiled, "Mr. Nazhi..."

"I've already said it, it's not me," Mr. Na Zhi exclaimed angrily, "If I'm the murderer, then what do you mean by this stone lion?"

Pointing to the bloody characters, Conan said, "Huh? This character is so strange. The spelling of these characters is wrong."

"Here comes the brat again," Molly yelled, "you boy, how many times do I have to say..."

"This is obviously the wrong way to write adult katakana." Conan pointed out the mistakes in the strokes, and there were two places where the strokes should be connected.

"If you put it this way," Mori exclaimed in surprise, "the stone lion with the katakana name 'コマイヌ' will become a handsome 'Nimiイメ' guy."

Megure Police Department said: "Mr. Nachi, it seems that decisive evidence has appeared."

"No, it's not me," Mr. Nazhi argued, "I did make an appointment with Anxi to meet here at half past ten, but Anxi was dead when I came, it's true."

The Mumu Police Department said: "Okay, don't quibble anymore."

"I'm telling the truth, he was really dead at that time." Mr. Nachi quickly explained, "I wanted to run away in a panic, but when I saw 'ニマイメ' written on the ground, I played with a match." Great way to add a few strokes to the word and make it 'コマイヌ', it's true."

"If you weren't the murderer," Mori asked, "why did the victim write the katakana name handsome?"

Mr. Nazhi exclaimed, "How would I know that kind of thing?"

"Uncle Mori," Yamazaki whispered, "when we came, some of the blood had already solidified."

"What?" Molly said in surprise.

Conan said to himself: "Hey, why is there no blood on this watch?"

Looking at the watch on Mr. Anxi's wrist, Mao Li said to himself: "In this way, this watch was taken off by someone before, and after the blood clotted..."

"And the hat at the scene is okay, how could the vest be taken off." Yamazaki said, pointing to the vest and hat next to the corpse, "And these things are too close to the corpse, if it is a fight..."

Maori asked, "Lan, when you came out, did you see Mr. Anxi himself?"

"All we heard was the odd alarm of his watch," Lan said.

Sonoko said, "I saw a person wearing a vest and hat going out."

Conan said to himself again: "Hey, the space between these words seems to be different."

After carefully looking at the names, Mao Li said in surprise, "Ah? This is..."

At this time, the Mumu Police Department said: "Okay, Mr. Nazhi, let's talk about the detailed situation in the department."

"Wait a minute, Megure Police Department," Mouri said, "Mr. Nachi is not the real murderer."

"What?" Mumu Police Department asked, "Brother Maori, is what you said true?"

"Look at the watch on the corpse's hand, the left hand is obviously covered with blood, but the watch is not stained with blood," Maori said, "In other words, after the victim was killed, someone took the watch from the deceased .”

The Mumu police department asked: "Then, why not Mr. Nazhi..."

"Because someone else took it away and wanted to delay the actual time of committing the crime, so I thought of taking the watch back to the hotel and intentionally making the alarm ring in the victim's room, but on the way back to the hotel because there were bloodstains , so I wiped off the blood on the watch." Maori said, "At ten o'clock, Lan and the others heard the unique alarm sound of this watch in the hotel. And at ten o'clock, Mr. Nazhi was not there proven."

The Mumu Police Department asked in surprise: "Isn't that person Mr. Anxi?"

"Mugure Police Department, don't you think the positions of the vest and hat are unnatural?" Maori smiled, "I think Mr. Anxi was dressed up by someone else at ten o'clock, and that person was holding Mr. Anxi's watch. Set the alarm in the room, put on the hat and vest in the room, leave the hotel disguised as Mr. Anzai, go back to the shrine, put the watch back on Mr. Anzai's left hand, put the hat and vest on On the side, and in order to put the blame on Mr. Nachi Shingo, I wrote, 'ニマイメ'." Then asked, "Am I right, Mr. Yuji Shimazaki to cover up the crime of the real murderer?"

"You are wrong, I am not covering up the murderer," Mr. Shimazaki said, "I am the murderer."

"What?" Mumu Police Department asked, "Then, if you want to put the blame on Mr. Nazhi, why don't you just write Nazhi, aren't you going to create false evidence?"

"I..." Shimazaki-san was speechless.

"He couldn't write Nachi's, because at that time, the victim had already written all the words implying the murderer on the ground." Maori laughed, "As long as two of the words 'ニマイメ' are removed, it will be written by the victim. text, 'マメ'."

"Mamegaki?" Megure Police Department asked, "You mean Ms. Mamegaki Taeko?"

Abbot Mamegaki called out, "How could it be Taeko? How could it be?"

Lan and Yuanzi shouted, "Impossible!"

"It was me, I killed Anxi." Mr. Shimazaki shouted.

"Don't say it, Mr. Shimazaki, blood was sprayed everywhere around the deceased, and the murderer should also be sprayed with blood," Maori said, "The only person who can have time to change the bloody clothes and wash off the blood here is Miss Taeko who lives here."

"But, but..." Mr. Shimazaki said.

"Yuji, don't say any more." Miss Taeko said.

Mr. Shimazaki called out, "Taiko!"

Ms. Taeko said softly: "Mr. Mori is right, I killed Anxi."...
