Chapter 431: The Illustrator's Express Delivery
May 10th, Saturday, afternoon, Die Yequan Apartment.
Mori, Yamazaki, Conan, President Hanaoka, his assistant, and Tanaka followed the Megure police department to the door and saw a courier in uniform.
The courier asked: "My lord, I'm just here to deliver the receipts. I still have a lot of things to do. Can you let me go?"
"What receipt?" Mumu Police Department took a look at the receipt from his subordinates. It was a receipt for taking away the goods, and it said that a painting by Ms. Die Ye was taken away.
The Mumu Police Department handed over the receipt to Maori. Then I asked the courier: "You said you forgot to leave the receipt, that is to say, you have been here before, when is it?"
"It was more than 20 minutes ago, at 2:35 in the afternoon." The courier thought for a while and said, "By the way, when I went downstairs, I heard someone shouting 'someone jumped off the building'."
Mao Li said: "Mumu Police Department, that's about the time when Ms. Die Ye fell." Then he stared at the courier and asked him, "Honestly, did you kill Miss Die Ye?"
"What, what!" The courier was stunned.
"You killed Miss Dieye, and then pushed her down the stairs." Maori said, "From the time point of view, you were here at that time, so the murderer must be you."
"No...no," the courier quickly argued, "I didn't see the owner of this apartment, Miss Die Ye, at all today, so how could I kill her?"
"Ha, you dare to lie in front of me," Mao Li asked with a big smile, "I ask you, if you haven't met Miss Die Ye, then how did you get into this room? How did you get this Did you take the picture written on the receipt by Ms. Die Ye?"
"Brother Maoli is right." Mumu Police Department asked the courier, "Excuse me, how did you get in."
"The door of the apartment was not closed at the time, so I pushed it lightly and came in. The painting was right at the door, so I didn't see Ms. Die Ye." The courier said, "It's strange to say, I just pushed it, The door was fully opened, by the way, a nail fell out of nowhere."
"Nail?" Mao Li took the nail from Conan who came over from Suilan, and asked the courier, "Is it this bent nail?"
"Yes, yes." The courier said.
"Didn't you put this on the ground?" Maori asked.
"How is it possible? I have never passed this threshold." The courier said, "I took the painting at the door and left, so I forgot to put down the receipt for taking the painting, so I came back."
Maori asked, "Wait a minute, you took things away without even asking?"
"No, I have received a call." The courier said hurriedly.
Mumu Police Department asked: "Ms. Dieye called you? When did it happen?"
The courier said, "No, it's Mr. Hanaoka..."
"What!" Mumu Police Department and Mao Li were taken aback, and Mao Li asked, "Why is the name of Ms. Dieye signed on this document?"
"I have always delivered paintings for Ms. Die Ye. Although Mr. Hanaoka called this time, he said that it was still under the name of Ms. Die Ye." The courier said, "He was about 50 minutes ago, at about two o'clock in the afternoon. Left and right called me and said that the door was open, and asked me to take the painting at the door and bring it to the door. By the way, the time to pick up the painting is 2:35 in the afternoon.
That's what he told me on the phone. "
"President Hanaoka, how did you know that the painting was at the door? And why did you tell the courier that the time to pick up the painting was the same as the time when Ms. Butano dropped it?" Mao Li asked, "This is really suspicious. President Oka, you did this incident, right?"
"No, no," President Hanaoka argued, "This is what Die Ye told me, and I just passed her words on to the courier."
Megure Police Department asked: "So, President Hanaoka, did you talk to Ms. Butano on the phone before?"
"Yes. After I was woken up by the office's phone call in the studio, I received a call from Die Ye. She told me that the painting was finished and put it at the door, and asked me to call the courier company." President Hanaoka said , "I just thought there was something wrong with her tone, and I was worried about her, so I asked her to call me again. I originally wanted to see Mr. Maori and come to see her later, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
The Mumu Police Department asked the courier: "Excuse me, have you encountered any strange situations?"
"Well," the courier said after thinking for a while, "I seem to hear the sound of something breaking inside the house, yes, it looks like a potted plant."
"The potted plant?" Maori said, "It should be the potted plant that Ms. Dieye broke when she fell."
The courier asked, "Well, can I go?"
"No, you were here when the incident happened, and you were the only one." Megure Police Department said, "So, you are also a suspect." Then asked the department to register the courier's information.
Conan thought, when he opened the door, he dropped a bent nail. If a fishing line was added, one end would be hooked on the nail, the other end would hang a potted plant, and another heavy object would be hung on the balcony by another fishing line. In the drainpipe, so that's it, I see.
Thinking of this, Conan felt Lan holding his hand tightly, and sighed in his heart, the next question is how to get rid of Lan and Mei Daizi.
Conan thought for a while, and said to Lan: "Sister Lan, I want to ask Brother Yamazaki a question, and I promise not to run around."
"Okay." Lan let go of his hand.
Conan ran to Yamazaki and whispered, "I'm going to start."
"I understand." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I won't ask what's in the drainpipe, you go, I'll let my uncle go to the balcony to find you, and I'll deal with those two people."
"Okay, thanks." Conan said and ran away.
Seeing this, Lan shouted: "Conan!"
"It's okay, I let him go." Yamazaki said, and then stepped forward and whispered to Maori, "Conan found something in the drain pipe of the balcony."
Hearing this, Maori immediately went to the balcony, and was knocked down by Conan who was waiting for him.
Conan supported Maoli who fell forward after fainting, let him fall backward, leaning against the inner wall of the balcony, sitting on one side of the balcony's drain pipe opening, and the other side was potted plant debris and soil, and then turned the volume of the button speaker Adjust it to the maximum, stick it under Maori's right collar, and let the right collar lean against Maori's vocal cords.
Conan tried the sound test against the bow tie with a very small voice, and found that it was okay. He thought, this is the only way to go, this should not be said to be pronounced from the back of the neck, this is not the empty station like last time , I hope that troublesome guy Mei Daizi won't hear that there are two sources of sound.
Conan stood in the bedroom and looked around, making sure he couldn't see the place on the right side of the balcony that was blocked by the sliding door, and then shouted: "Uncle, what did you say? You said you knew the murderer's method. I'll call the Megure police department right away."
After a while, the Megure Police Department came down with several subordinates, and President Hanaoka, assistants, Tanaka, Ran, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko also followed. Megure police department stood behind the balcony gate, the police stood behind him, and behind him were Lan, Yamazaki, Mei Daizi and others.
The Mumu Police Department asked Maori: "Brother Maori, do you know who the murderer is?"
"Yes," Conan hid behind the sliding door on the right side of the balcony, and said in a very low voice to the bow tie, "The murderer of this incident is President Hanaoka."
Megure Police Department asked: "Brother Mori, President Hanaoka was in the office at the time, how did he come here to kill people?"
"As long as you have fishing lines, nails and potted plants, no matter where President Hanaoka is, you can do it." Conan said in a very small voice to the bow tie, "By the way, Police Department Megure, by the way, prepare a bottle Soy sauce, and a cup of hot coffee."
"It's no problem to prepare soy sauce and hot coffee," Megure police department said, and then asked in a low voice, "But, Moori brother, why do you even have to add soy sauce to your coffee now?" But the place is not big, so everyone can hear it .
Mei Daizi asked Lan: "Uncle, does he like to drink salty coffee?"
"I haven't seen it," Lan said.
"Uh, this," Conan said helplessly to the bow tie in a very small voice, "anyway, you'll know in a while."
Under the instructions of "Maori", the Mumu Police Department hung the fishing line with bent nails on the doorbell, and then took the two ends of the fishing line to the balcony, and used the double-strand fishing line on the balcony railing and inside the balcony. Wrap around a dummy twice to distribute the force to prevent the doorbell from being overwhelmed by the person's weight. Then tie the end of the thread to a potted plant, rotate the potted plant to tighten the fishing line, put the dummy outside the railing, and cover it with a quilt, continue to tighten the fishing line so that the flowerpot can hang in the balcony, and then tie good. Then have a police officer go out and close the gate, and move the bent nail on the doorbell that catches the fishing line so that the nail sticks to the door.
"It turns out that the purpose of bending the nail is to make it easier to remove, so as not to cut your fingers by the fishing line falling on the human body." Mumu Police Department said, "And according to this arrangement, no matter who pushes the door open, The fishing line would loosen and the body would fall out from under the blanket."
Conan said in a very low voice to the bow tie: "Of course the one who opened the door was the courier arranged by President Hanaoka in advance. The courier came and opened the door at 2:35 p.m. Let the dead Miss Dieye fall."
President Hanaoka said: "Detective Mori, this method is really interesting, but if this is the case, there should be fishing lines in the room."
"It's very simple, just use a soy sauce bottle." Conan said to the bow tie in a very small voice, "Mugure Police Department, please pick up the cover of the drain pipe, do you see the fishing line hanging on the fragment of the flowerpot?" , pull him up. Then you'll know where the line went."
The Mumu police department did as promised, and brought up a bottle of contact lens preservation solution and a long fishing line tangled together.
"So that's the case." Megure Police Department said. Then according to the instructions of "Maori", take another piece of fishing line, pass it through the cover of the drain pipe, tie one end to the fishing line of the flower pot, and tie the other end to the soy sauce bottle, put the soy sauce bottle into the drain pipe, cover it to drain water Tube cap. Finally let the police outside the door open the door.
The policeman outside the door pushed the door lightly. The nails on the door could not get stuck and the door was pulled in by the fishing line. The dummies, quilts, potted plants and soy sauce bottles on the balcony began to fall at the same time, and the nails fell on the door. The dummy and quilt outside the balcony fell downstairs, the potted plant fell on the balcony and broke, and the first fishing line tied to the potted plant carried the soil and debris in the potted plant, and the other end was tied to the soy sauce bottle. The second line dragged toward the drainpipe and ended up completely out of sight inside the cover of the drainpipe.
Megure Police Department asked: "President Hanaoka?"
President Hanaoka said: "Who knows how there is a liquid bottle in the drain."
Conan said in a very low voice to the bow tie: "Megure Police Department, please ask the forensic personnel to investigate the fishing line on the contact lens preservation solution bottle and the corner of the apartment. The fishing line must be stained with the decoration materials of this apartment. , There are new scratches on the corner of the wall, these should be able to show that President Hanaoka used this technique."
The Mumu Police Department immediately ordered the forensic personnel to do this. Not long after, a forensic officer came to report and initially confirmed that the murderer had used the Maori detective method. At the same time, a police officer came to report that Miss Die Ye's suicide note was not found.
President Hanaoka said: "This doesn't explain anything, Detective Mori, I was talking to her when Butano jumped from the building, and it was her own call. If you don't believe it, you can check the action on the balcony. Call to see if it was called to my office's landline at that time. And Tanaka also heard Chono's voice at that time."
"Have you brought Ms. Butano's mobile phone to your office? President Hanaoka, you are in the bathroom of your office. You used this mobile phone of Ms. Butano to call the fixed number of your office. On the phone." Conan said in a very small voice to the bow tie, "And the voice of Ms. Butano heard by Mr. Tanaka, I am afraid that you used the telephone recording with Ms. Butano's voice, and you played 'Hi, I am Bute Yequan', so in order to prevent Mr. Tanaka from discovering the problem, you immediately came out of the bathroom."
"That's true." Tanaka said, "That's what I heard."
"You took the phone from Mr. Tanaka, and talked loudly to divert our attention to you. Besides, Miss Die Ye was going to jump off the building, so we turned our attention to the opposite side. This created a scene where Miss Die Ye was nearly 100 meters away. The scene where you jumped off the stairs in front of everyone." Conan said in a very small voice to the bow tie, "Later, while we were waiting for the police to come over, you mixed in with the crowd with umbrellas and took advantage of us not paying attention. Missy's mobile phone and her recordings are back here."
"What about the evidence? Detective Maori, what is the basis for what you said?" President Hanaoka said, "I haven't been here at all today. If it's fingerprints, I came to Die Ye yesterday, leaving me The fingerprints are not surprising at all."
At this time, a police officer came over with hot coffee, "Maori detective, you want hot coffee."...
