Chapter 432: The Illustrator's Signature

May 10th, Saturday, afternoon, Die Yequan Apartment.

Hearing that the coffee was coming, Conan just wanted to go out, but he heard Yamazaki say, "Leave it to me, thank you", so he thought, what does this guy want to do?

"Although the owner of this house is gone, it's really impolite to spill things in other people's houses." Yamazaki said, and then said, "President Hanaoka, please take off the socks on your feet."

"Socks?" President Hanaoka was a little puzzled.

"The part on the bed sheet is exactly the part of the foot. If you apply nail polish for yourself, you should not get it on the bed sheet. Only when you apply nail polish for others, especially when you are asleep and don't know how to cooperate, it is easy to drip. Come out." Yamazaki said, "Come on, President Hanaoka, let us see if you have Ms. Butano's signature on your body, a signature painting made with the nail polish that was just released today."

"What!" The Megure police department was taken aback, and then saw President Hanaoka's face change, and immediately said, "President Hanaoka, please take off the socks on your feet."

President Hanaoka took off one sock with trembling hands, and when he found it was missing, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then took off the other sock holding his breath, and stared at the beautiful pink butterfly pattern on his toenails, stunned .

"That is Ms. Butano's signature, and this nail polish was only released today. If it is evidence, then, President Hanaoka," Conan said in a very small voice to the bow tie, "please tell me, that Where is the pattern and who painted it."

Tanaka asked: "How is it possible, Teacher Hanaoka, how could Teacher Hanaoka kill Ms. Dieye?"

"President Hanaoka's motivation may be to draw. Please pay attention to the paintings on the wall. There are several paintings with President Hanaoka's signature behind the butterfly signature of Ms. Butano." Conan pointed at the bow tie with a tiny smile. The voice said, "It's probably because those paintings were drawn by Ms. Butanoka imitating President Hanaoka's handwriting. There should be many such paintings. They may have had a dispute over this matter. So President Hanaoka He suddenly rushed into the bathroom and killed Miss Butano, but what he didn't know was that Miss Butano had just put on contact lenses in front of the mirror, so President Hanaoka put on her glasses for Miss Butano again."

Tanaka was taken aback, "Ms. Hanaoka asked Die Ye to write as a ghostwriter, how is this possible?"

"It's true. Recently, Mr. Hanaoka's paintings are all signed by Butano." The assistant said sadly, "In fact, it is Mr. Hanaoka who has entered the trough period."

At this time, a forensic officer reported that blood stains were found in the washroom. Based on the height and shape of the blood stains, it was preliminarily estimated that Ms. Die Ye was hit on the head with a blunt instrument.

"I was hit on the head with a blunt instrument, so I made a jumping incident to cover up the wound." Megure Police Department asked, "President Hanaoka, what else do you have to say?"

At this time, Maori woke up with a yawn, which surprised Conan. After making some calculations, he sighed. Sure enough, it took almost half an hour. It took a lot of time to set up the scene.

Yamazaki stepped forward and bent down to hand over the coffee, "Uncle, please drink a cup of hot coffee to refresh yourself." At the same time, he whispered in Maori's ear, "Uncle has just made a reasoning."

"Ah?" Maori was taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "Really?" Then he saw Yamazaki nod, rubbed his chin and began to think.

President Hanaoka sighed: "It seems that there is no way to hide it anymore."

Megure Police Department asked: "President Hanaoka, so you admit to killing Ms. Butano?"

"The murderer is indeed this guy,

So the incident has been resolved. "Mao Li smiled and said to himself, "Well, that's not bad, I just..."

"No, no, I won't kill her." President Hanaoka said, "Actually, I'm here today, no, I should say I was here last night."

"What!" Mouri, Megure Police Department, Conan, assistant, and Tanaka were all taken aback.

Lan whispered to Mei Daizi, "What's the problem?"

"Well," Mei Daizi thought for a while and whispered, "I don't know either." Then she asked the person who came over, "Brother?"

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Think about it, what is uncle's best job."

"What's daddy best at?" Lan said, "finding pets, finding people, marking people, spying on people, uh..."

Mei Daizi said: "It turns out to be **."

Yamazaki said, "That's it."

"I woke up here before noon today. I can't remember the exact time. After I woke up, I didn't dare to stay longer, but because I felt very bad, I went back to the studio and continued to sleep. Later, the office I was woken up by the phone call, and then I received a call from Chono, telling me about the painting. I called the courier and went to the office, where I witnessed the scene of Chono jumping off the building." President Hanaoka said, "As for The butterfly pattern on my feet should have been drawn by Die Ye while I was sleeping. The nail polish must have been bought by her in the morning. The detectives also saw it, but I was afraid that some bad rumors would spread if the people in the office knew about it, so I scraped it off in the bathroom of the office." Then he asked the assistant and Tanaka, "Chou Ye I like to do this kind of prank the most, don't you think?"

The assistant said, "That's true."

Tanaka said: "When we went on a trip, we woke up in the morning and found that Ms. Dieye had scribbled on us."

"By the way, there are photos here." President Hanaoka went to the study and brought a photo album, "Look at it."

Looking at a photo, the assistant's face and Tanaka's head were painted with butterflies. Police Megure said: "It seems that Ms. Butano really likes to play pranks." Then said, "However, President Hanaoka , you may have set this trap in the morning."

Tanaka said: "Well, sir, the quilt was only put out in the afternoon, around 2:10 in the afternoon."

"Is that so." Megure Police Department asked, "Then, President Hanaoka, you said you left before noon, do you have an alibi?"

"Well, it doesn't seem to be there." President Hanaoka said, "But as my assistant said, I was actually the one who was in the lowest period of progress. Recently, Die Ye helped me draw a lot of paintings, so for my career, I It is absolutely impossible to kill Die Ye." Then he looked at Mei Daizi, and said, "I feel guilty because I am afraid that the matter between me and Die Ye will be known by the outside world, which will not only cause a bad reputation, but also I don't know what to do when I go back. Tell my wife."

The Mumu Police Department asked, "Brother Maori?"

"If you put it that way, the motivation is really insufficient," Maori said.

At this time, a forensic officer came to report that no murder weapon was found.

"This means that the murder weapon was taken away." Maori said, and then asked, "Megure Police Department, do you think about external crimes?"

"Uncle," Conan pulled Mori, pointed at President Hanaoka and said, "Take me to see this uncle's studio. I haven't seen what the studio is like before."

"Huh? Studio?" Mouri said, "Megure Police Department, let's go to President Hanaoka's studio, maybe..."

"Okay." Megure Police Department said, "President Hanaoka, please take us to your painting club."

"Yes, yes." President Hanaoka said.

Less than ten minutes later, President Hanaoka's studio arrived. Before entering the door, Conan grabbed Yamazaki and asked, "Did you find the place where the murder weapon was thrown? How about the small river?"

"Maybe." Yamazaki said.

Conan asked angrily: "Hey, are you going to spend the whole afternoon like this?"

"I'm telling the truth, and you do everything that needs to be done. I just need to watch." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Let's go and see if there are any loopholes. If not, we can only let the police go slowly. I'm looking for someone who met President Hanaoka."

Conan said excitedly: "Okay, let me see how the scene is arranged by him again."

The Mumu Police Department took everyone around the studio. Except for the rest room and the bathroom, the other rooms were well tidied up without any mess. It seemed that someone only slept in the rest room and used it after getting up. Go to the bathroom, wash up and leave.

Looking at the messy bed on the floor in the resting room, President Hanaoka smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm so sorry to make you laugh. I left in a hurry this afternoon, so I didn't put this bed away."

"It seems that there is no problem." Maori said.

Megure police department asked: "President Hanaoka, please think about it carefully, did you meet anyone on the way back to this studio from Ms. Butano's house?"

"I was drowsy at the time and didn't pay attention." President Hanaoka said, "But I stopped at the bank on the way from the studio to the office, and it was around 2:30 in the afternoon."

The Megure Police Department asked the department to investigate, and soon after, the police came back to report that President Hanaoka withdrew money from the ATM at 2:28 p.m.

"Okay, President Hanaoka, Mr. Courier, please come with us and make a detailed record." Megure Police Department said.

"Okay." President Hanaoka said.

The courier asked sadly, "I'm going too? When will I be able to come out?"

"After we find out the exact time of death of Ms. Dieye and get your alibi." Megure Police Department said.

Conan sighed, and now he can only investigate slowly on the road.

"Why, didn't you see the problem?" Yamazaki asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Conan was taken aback, "You found the problem."

"It seems that Lan is very diligent." Yamazaki smiled, then left Conan who was confused, stepped forward and whispered in Maori's ear, "Uncle, that pillow and bed."

"Pillows and beds?" Molly asked in a low voice. "What's wrong with those?"

Yamazaki whispered: "If President Hanaoka really slept on this bed for an hour or two, there should be hair and dander left. And I saw his hair on the pillow of Ms. Butano's house, Not here, President Hanaoka probably just rolled out the bed and lay down on it for a while."

"That's right." Maori said with a high five.

The Megure police department asked: "Ah, brother Maori, did you find anything?"

Yamazaki said in a low voice: "Uncle, first you need to know who usually cleans up his studio and when."

"Cough!" Maori said, "There are some discoveries, but before I say it, President Hanaoka, I would like to ask you a question, who is usually the one who will help you clean up your studio?"

"It's my wife. She comes to visit around 4:30 every afternoon." President Hanaoka said, and then asked, "What's the problem?"

"Of course there is a problem." Mouri told Megure Police Department what Yamazaki told him just now, and then said: "The things in the studio are neatly arranged. Obviously, President Hanaoka, you haven't used it today. , that is to say, you only stayed in the studio for a short time today. The time from when the quilt was put out to the bank was about eighteen minutes, and from Ms. Die Ye’s apartment to the studio and then to the bank , It will take about fifteen minutes, the difference is about three minutes, it is the time for you to stay here and arrange this place."

That's it, Conan raised his triangular eyes, is this guy saying that I don't do housework?

"Very good, Maori brother." Megure Police Department said to the forensic personnel, "Go and investigate the pillow immediately."

"No, no need." President Hanaoka sat down on the ground weakly and said, muttering in his mouth, "I see, no wonder."

Megure police department asked: "So, President Hanaoka, you admit to killing Ms. Butano?"

"Yes." President Hanaoka said, "I killed Butano."

Mei Daizi smiled and said: "It really is him, how about it, Lan, I have already said that he must be the murderer."

"Yes, yes, you are amazing." Lan smiled.

"But, Hanaoka-sensei, why is that?" Tanaka asked a little excitedly.

"Because Die Ye used her relationship with me to threaten me, and wanted me to divorce my wife and marry her." President Hanaoka said with some pain, "But she doesn't understand that I can't leave my wife at all."

"By the way, due to the sudden collapse of the economy a few years ago, the design office couldn't continue to operate, but the president suddenly raised a lot of money," the assistant asked in surprise, "Could it be..."

"That's right, my wife borrowed it from her father, that is, my father-in-law." President Hanaoka said heavily, "If I divorce my wife, I will go bankrupt immediately."

"So that's how it is." Mao Li nodded, and then asked suspiciously: "By the way, President Hanaoka, what do you mean by 'so it is' you just said?"

"I have always suspected that my wife knew about the affairs between me and Die Ye, but I just couldn't figure out how my wife knew." President Hanaoka said, "It seems that she found out that I didn't even know when she was helping me make the bed. I didn't sleep on it, so I know."

Maori smiled and said, "So that's the case."

"Well, sir, can I go?" the courier asked cautiously.

"You can come if you want." Megure police department smiled.

"No, no," the courier quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Inspector, goodbye, uh, anyway, I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, he ran away. ...
