Chapter 494 The Trap of the Tour Group
In the early hours of Wednesday, August 13, the police temporary investigation room on the third floor of the Izu Prince Hotel.
After Kamijou Hideko left, Mori said: "It seems that Mr. Jiang Yuan came here for this mysterious virus. Maybe there is another person who set up this trap and killed Mr. Jiang Yuan, and now he has fled here."
"Yeah, it's very difficult now." The Henggou Police Department also had a headache.
Mori said: "There are many places in the Tokyo metropolitan area where there are both Xibu Department Store and Calder's Petroleum Gas Station. We can only start with medical insurance. You can also check this email address."
The Henggou Police Department said: "These issues can only be discussed at the police station."
Maori said: "I think a more detailed investigation should be carried out on the activities of the members of the tour group in the hotel. On the one hand, the possibility that they are the murderers should be ruled out. On the other hand, the murderer may still be among them."
"That's the only way to go." The Henggou Police Department ordered the officers to communicate with the hotel, and then said, "Mr. Maori, let's check their belongings first."...
Room 1901 of Maeda Satoshi and Sayama Akiko.
The Henggou Police Department took people to check their belongings, while Conan opened the window next to the bronze statue to observe the terrain. The floors above the 20th floor and below the 19th floor of this hotel are staggered. The ground of the balcony on the 20th floor and the window walls of the two adjacent rooms below the 19th floor form a right prism with an isosceles right triangle in section. The ground at the bottom of the prism stands upright. With a bronze statue.
Maori asked, "Boy, what are you doing?"
"I want fresh air to come in." Conan laughed.
At this time, a report came from the walkie-talkie that Mr. Konno Shiro's phone records were in use from 9:45 to 10:7, as he said.
"Understood." Henggou Police Department said.
At this time, investigators found a tablet of sleeping pills, one of which had already been used.
Sayama Akiko said: "This is just an ordinary sleeping pill. I recently put it in my pocket for backup because of some insomnia."
Henggou Police Department asked: "Excuse me, Miss Sayama, when did you take it?"
Akiko Sayama said, "Three or four days ago."
The Henggou Police Department said: "Please give us a test."
Shortly after, the investigation was concluded and no other anomalous items were found. ...
Room 2001 of Jincheng Genichiro and Lin Jingjiang.
The Henggou Police Department took people to check their belongings, and Conan opened the balcony sliding door to observe the terrain, but a gust of wind blew in, which attracted Mao Li's attention.
Maori went to pick up Conan, "It's you kid again."
"That," Conan said hastily, "I want to come here to learn how my uncle is a famous detective."
"Ah, since you said that, then take a good look at it." Mao Li put down Conan with a smile, and muttered, "I never thought that this brat would be cute sometimes."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward to Genichiro Jincheng and asked, "Grandpa, is this sliding door always locked?"
"I don't know much about this," Jincheng Genichiro asked, "Jingjiang, what do you think?"
Butler Jingjiang said: "I will check everything before going out every time."
At this time,
There was a report over the intercom that none of the trash cans in the hotel showed any traces of the drug.
The Henggou Police Department said: "I see." Then he said to Maori, "It seems that sleeping pills were used."
Mao Li said: "That is to say, the murderer should be someone Mr. Jiang Yuan knew, so he let the murderer into the room."
The Henggou Police Department said: "Go to Mr. Jiang Yuan's room later and have a look."
Shortly after, the investigation concluded without finding any anomalous items. ...
Room 2002 of Shiro Konno.
As a result of the investigation, no unusual items were found. ...
Room 2102 of Hideko Kamijou.
As a result of the investigation, a board of sleeping pills was found, and four of them had been used, which was the same brand as that used by Akiko Sayama.
Hideko Kamijou said: "I sometimes suffer from insomnia, so I carry it with me."
Henggou Police Department asked: "Excuse me, Miss Kamijou, when did you take it?"
Kamijou Hideko said, "I took one last night."
The Henggou Police Department said: "Please give us one."...
Room 2101 of the deceased Jiang Yuan Tokio.
The forensic personnel who stayed here reported that no container containing sleeping pills was found in the room.
Mao Li said: "So, the murderer may have taken the drug away."
The Henggou Police Department sighed: "The possibility of foreign crimes has greatly increased."
At this time, someone on the walkie-talkie reported that no fingerprints were found on the belt, buttons and other objects of Mr. Jiang Yuan's body. If fingerprints were to be extracted from the clothes, he had to go back to the police station.
"Then send it..." Before the Henggou Police Department could finish speaking, Yamazaki stopped him.
Yamazaki said: "Uncle Maori, the Henggou Police Department, I think I can tell them that fingerprints were found on the clothes of the remains, but they were not obvious, and they need to be sent back for further progress. I think, for these clothes, the murderer cannot be from the beginning to the end. Those who wear gloves, at least when buying, should be in direct contact."
The Henggou Police Department asked, "You mean to trick them into turning themselves in?"
Mao Li smiled and said: "By the way, if the murderer is still among these people, he will definitely destroy the evidence."
"I see," the Henggou Police Department said with a smile, "Very well, I will definitely arrange my subordinates to wait there."
"Then, Uncle Maori, I'm going back to my room first." Yamazaki said, "Lan, remember to call Line 2 when you catch someone."...
Room 2301 of Yamazaki and Mei Daizi.
Mei Daizi was watching TV in the living room, and immediately stuck out her tongue after seeing Yamazaki, and said embarrassedly: "Brother, I'll go to sleep after watching this."
"Okay." Yamazaki smiled, and sat down to watch with him. ...
Temporary police investigation room on the third floor.
The Henggou Police Department announced to Hideko Kamijou, Shiro Konno, Genichiro Kaneshiro, Butler Shizue, Satoshi Maeda, and Akiko Sayama that they had found fingerprints on their clothes, and told them to give them an hour to think about it. This is the last time to surrender.
The Henggou Police Department said: "Don't think that you are being deceived. You are only given this opportunity because of the high cost of extracting fingerprints from clothes. Well, please go back to your respective rooms and think about it carefully."
At this time, someone on the intercom reported that the hotel had a record of Ms. Akiko Sasayama in 1901.
The Henggou Police Department said: "Wait a minute, Miss Sayama, please stay."
"Okay," Sayama Akiko said, "A Cong, you go up first."
The report continued to come through the intercom, and Ms. Sayama called the front desk at 10:20 and called for the morning wake-up service.
Henggou Police Department asked: "Miss Sayama, do you have any impression of this matter?"
"Uh," Akiko Sayama thought for a while and said, "I can't remember, I was watching a movie, maybe I suddenly remembered and made this call." Then he asked, "This can be my alibi ?"
The Henggou Police Department smiled and said, "It's absolutely possible."
"That's great." Lan smiled.
The Henggou Police Department smiled and said, "Miss Sayama, you can go back now."
Lan said, "I'll accompany you."
"Okay." Akiko Sayama smiled. ...
Akiko Sayama, Lan, and of course, Conan, were speechless when they saw that the two elevators had just passed the third floor and were running upwards in front of the elevator room on the third floor side.
Lan smiled and said, "Miss Mingzi, let's go to the other side and have a look."
"Let's wait." Akiko Sayama smiled, "Maybe it's the same over there. It's not a waste of time."
After waiting for about ten minutes, an elevator went down from the 25th floor on the top floor to the third floor. This time, luckily, there was no one downstairs, and the elevator went straight up.
But when they reached the thirteenth floor, the elevator stopped, and after the door opened, Akiko Sayama, Lan, and Conan were all taken aback when they saw the person standing at the door, "The Duke of Darkness!"
Seeing the blood-stained Duke of the Night, Lan Da shouted: "Stand back." Then he stepped up and kicked the Duke of the Night with his right foot straight on the head, but the Duke of the Night avoided it.
Lan twisted her waist and moved her feet to sweep across the head of the Night Duke, but was dodged by the Night Duke leaning back slightly. Lan had no choice but to stop in order to reorganize the offensive.
The Duke of Night did not fight back, but reached into the elevator, slapped the control area of the elevator that he couldn't see with his backhand, and then left, leaving Lan Yi, who was just ready to step out again, stunned on the spot.
"Stop!" Conan immediately adjusted his shoes, chased out of the elevator, but found nothing available, turned his head and shouted at Lan, "What are you doing, sister Lan, sister Lan!"
Lan came to his senses, "Let's go find my father right away." But he found that the next stop of the elevator was the nineteenth floor, and the next stop was the twenty-fifth floor.
"The twenty-fifth floor must have been pressed by the Duke of the Night just now, he wanted to delay the time." Conan said, "The next one is on the tenth floor, let's take the stairs."...
About five minutes later, the temporary police investigation room on the third floor.
"What are you talking about? I met the Duke of the Night!" Mao Li and the Henggou Police Department were taken aback.
Maori said, "Lan, how could you let him run away!"
"I'm sorry." Lan said with a bow.
"Not good." The Henggou Police Department immediately ran to the temporary placement of the remains on the basement floor, and Mao Li and others quickly followed. ...
Temporary shelter for remains on the ground floor.
The Henggou Police Department found a police officer lying on the ground inside the door, his face changed drastically, and he breathed a sigh of relief after stepping forward to investigate.
"Why only this one police officer?" Maori asked.
"This is the best skill we have here. I was afraid that too many people would show his flaws, so I arranged for him alone." The Henggou Police Department said, "Originally, as long as he yelled on the intercom, other people would rush from every room on the first floor." Come out and block the entrance and exit on the first basement floor."
"It didn't even make a sound," Maori said.
Conan went to uncover the body, "Night Baron's clothes are gone."
"That has already been removed. It was placed here just now." A police officer pointed to the table next to the body and said, "It's gone now."
At this time, a police officer reported, "Police, the Duke of Night's clothes were found in the swimming pool."...
Swimming pool on the first floor.
The Henggou Police Department commanded the officers to pick up the contents, "masks, hats, wigs, capes, clothes, and shoes are all here."
The Henggou Police Department asked the forensic personnel: "Are these things still useful?"
The forensic officer said: "If it has been soaked in water, I am afraid, this is very difficult."
"Damn it." The Henggou Police Department said angrily.
Maori said: "At least we now know that the killer or his accomplices are in this tour group."
"You are right, Mr. Maori." The Henggou Police Department ordered the police officers to summon the members of the tour group.
Ran went to make an internal call to inform Yamazaki, while Conan went out to have a blast. ...
Room 2301 of Yamazaki and Mei Daizi.
Yamazaki heard the phone rang in his bedroom, and after answering it, Ting Lan said something briefly, "Okay, I'll come out right away."
Back in the living room, Yamazaki smiled and said, "Sleep after reading."
Mei Daizi nodded and smiled, "Well, I'll sleep after reading it."...
on site.
Conan sorted out the incident in his mind, and came here unknowingly, and found his pen on the ground inadvertently, "So it's here. Huh, wait a minute," Conan looked at the bronze statue, "It's a distance away from the bronze statue." Seven or eight meters away, how could it fall here? Is it because of the wind? But Mr. Jiang Yuan was wearing a cloak at the time, so it should be more affected. Could it be the opposite direction?"
Conan asked a waiter next to him, and learned that in summer, there will be a wind from left to right here at night.
There was a strange thing about this incident, that is, why the Duke of Night appeared on the thirteenth floor. Conan flipped through his notes and thought of a possibility, and then realized that it was getting late, so he rushed back immediately. ...
Temporary police investigation room on the third floor.
When Conan arrived, Yamazaki had already arrived, and only Genichiro Jincheng and Lin Jingjiang were left in the tour group.
Soon after, Genichiro Jincheng and Lin Jingjiang arrived, "Excuse me, officer, what else can I do? I have already fallen asleep, and my age is not forgiving."
"Sorry." The Henggou Police Department said, and then told about the Duke of Darkness's appearance.
"Officer, are you saying that we don't have an alibi?" Kamijou Hideko said, "I have always followed your orders and stayed in my room and never went out."
"That is to say, do you still need to prove this?" Konno Shiro said, "I have been in the room all the time."
Jincheng Genichiro said: "We also stayed in the room as you ordered."
"I think even if I say I'm in the room, you won't believe it." Maeda Satoshi said, "I may be the only one who can knock down that police officer at once."
Lan asked: "Miss Akiko, you are in the same room as Mr. Maeda, can you prove it for him?"
Akiko Sayama said: "I packed Ah Cong's luggage for him, and there is no night baron's outfit inside."
Maori said: "No, although you are no longer suspected, but you are Mr. Maeda's fiancé, your testimony will not be accepted."
"Uncle Mori," Yamazaki whispered, "Mr. Maeda's clothes haven't been changed, although the blood on the body has dried, but..."
Mori said: "By the way, Henggou Police Department, I think it is necessary to check the clothes Mr. Maeda is wearing now."
The forensic personnel took away the clothes and other physical evidence on Satoshi Maeda, as well as the body of Mr. Tokio Ehara.
The Henggou Police Department once again asked everyone to return to their rooms. This time, there were police officers standing guard for them. They also agreed to meet outside at the scene after the test results were obtained in an hour, that is, at 2:30 in the morning. ...
