Chapter 612 No One's Shooting

August 9, Sunday, around 7:00 pm, Shinjuku Kairui Hotel, Kaze Iwato Yokozuna Celebration Venue.

Masao Takata fell to the ground in full view of the gunshots. The woman screamed, and all the lights in the venue were turned on. The expanding pool of blood on Masao Takada's body was clearly visible, and the venue suddenly became chaotic. , a large number of guests ran out of the venue in panic.

Conan found that the long-haired man in the corner was gone, looked around, and found a person appeared next to the lighting facility on the second floor, took something and left, so Conan rushed out of the venue to see who it was, but the person Conan, who has multiple legs and is small, didn't find the trace of that person, and was caught by Lan and brought back to Maori.

Seeing Seiji Ishimoto sitting on the chair, Mouri was bandaging him with a napkin, Conan asked, "Uncle, how is Mr. Ishimoto's injury?"

"Fortunately, I just wiped off a little bit of flesh." Mori said, and then notified Yamazaki using his mobile phone.

Looking at Tsuneaki Shinkura, who was standing next to Masao Takata's body, without looking at Masao Takata's eyes, using his mobile phone to make calls one after another, Lan sighed heavily.

"No need to do this," Sonoko patted Lan on the shoulder, "It is his duty to report to the faction of Congressman Takata."

At this time, as if smelling bloody sharks, the media rushed to the venue. A fat reporter looked around and went straight to Maori who was on the phone, "Detective Maori, I don't know if you still remember me, I It's Makishima, who interviewed you last time during Mr. Hijikata's incident. Detective Maori, what do you think about the murder of Mr. Masao Takada, a member of the House of Representatives? Who do you think the murderer is?"

At the same time, other reporters gathered around, handed the microphone to Mao Li, and frantically took pictures of his body and Masao Takada's body.

Facing more than a dozen cameras, listening to Yamazaki's reminder via mobile phone, "Uncle, don't express your opinion," Mao Li loosened his tie, "No, no comment."

"Uncle, I won't go there until detectives intervene in matters related to members of the House of Representatives. I'll hang up the phone. Goodbye." Yamazaki said on the phone, and then hung up.

At this time, on the fourth side of the Metropolitan Police Department, the police from the Shinjuku Police Station rushed over and began to maintain order, asking the media to leave the venue.

After a while, the management officer Matsumoto led the team over. The management officer Matsumoto showed the search documents to the person in charge of the hotel, and then let his subordinates start their work. He then asked Maori: "Maori, you are at the scene, tell me what happened. like?"

"Yes, administrator." Mori said, "When Senator Takada walked past Mr. Honda, he was shot suddenly."

Shaking his head, Manager Matsumoto smiled and said: "Maori, tell the whole thing, how can I restore the scene when you say that, so let's start with why you are here."

"No, I'm sorry." Mori laughed dryly, and since he received the entrustment to protect Seiji Honda, he has omitted some things, omitting some personal matters such as signing.

After listening to Maori, the manager Matsumoto said: "Mr. Ishimoto, it is a coincidence that you received the threatening letter and were attacked together." Then he asked, "So, Miss Tanaka, when did you receive it? The threatening letter? Was it before or after I received the party invitation?"

"Yes," Sachiko Tanaka glanced at Seiji Ishimoto, "It was later, we received the threatening letter after we received the party invitation."

"It's not me, Inspector, it's not my trick.

"Ishimoto Chengji shouted, "There is no evidence, police officer, don't talk nonsense. "

"Please don't be nervous." Administrator Matsumoto said, "It's just a routine question now."

At this time, the forensic personnel came to report that the video of the party and the surveillance video of the hotel were all ready.

Manager Matsumoto asked him to send the video back immediately, and then asked Maori, "Did you find any suspicious characters?"

"Well," Maury said, "it was very dark when it happened, and I couldn't see anything."

"I saw a person," Conan took out the photo he just took, "it's Mr. Long Hair, he seems to be alone all the time."

"Idiot! This should have been taken out earlier." Mao Li took the photo and gave Conan a big mushroom, causing Conan to squat on the ground with his head in his arms.

Mori looked at the photo, then gave it to Administrator Matsumoto, who showed it.

Seeing the photo, Sachiko Tanaka cried out, and Seiji Ishimoto said, "Mr. Police Officer, I know this person, his name is Kenichi Shibata," and pointed at Sachiko Tanaka, "It's Sachiko's boyfriend."

"Ah!" Mori exclaimed, "Miss Sachiko has a boyfriend!"

Lan gritted her teeth and asked, "Dad, what are you trying to do when you bark so loudly?"

"No, nothing!" Maori laughed dryly.

Manager Matsumoto asked: "So, Mr. Ishimoto, do you have any problems with this Mr. Shibata?"

"Well, I merged his family's business." Ishimoto Seiji emphasized, "His family's business is no longer viable, and I did it for the sake of those employees."

Manager Matsumoto asked Arikura Toneaki, "Did you invite Mr. Shibata?"

"No, he's not on the list I arranged." Shinkura Changzhang said.

"Yes, I brought him in," Sachiko Tanaka said with a bow, "Kenichi said he wanted to see who he was, and he wanted to get some angel funding."

Manager Matsumoto said: "Then, Sachiko Tanaka, please call and invite Mr. Shibata here."

"Yes, I see." Sachiko Tanaka took out her mobile phone and called Shibata Kenichi, and when she learned that he was in the game hall of the hotel, she told him to come over immediately.

At this time, the forensic personnel came to invite the manager Matsumoto, and invited him to the stage lights on the second floor. Although Mao Li had no roots, he also heard their conversation.

The forensic personnel said: "According to the ballistic trajectory formed by Mr. Honda's height and Senator Takata's shooting position, the place where the shot was fired is the stage light that shines on Senator Takata's body here. According to the swaying of the smoke reactants, To the right of the stage lights there used to be a semi-automatic pistol with two strips of tape attached to it."

Manager Matsumoto took a look. The right side of the stage light was against the wall, with only a dozen centimeters in the middle. He understood that the pistol was not found in this blind spot, and then asked: "It used to mean that the murderous gun is no longer there? "

"Yes." The forensic officer said, "And according to the swaying of the gunpowder smoke reactants, there were no people or other objects around the gun when the gun was fired, and the gunpowder smoke reactants were sprayed to the surroundings regularly and uninterrupted."

Manager Matsumoto asked suspiciously, "Nobody? How did you shoot?"

"This problem has not been investigated yet." The forensic officer said, "Also, look at the ground, we found a set of incomplete footprints on the gunpowder smoke reactant on the ground, which are footprints that went in and then came out."

"That is to say, after the incident, a person came in and took away the murder weapon." Officer Matsumoto thought for a while and asked, "If there are gunpowder reactants under their feet, can they be found out now?"

"Yes." The forensic officer said, "But if they have been washed, there is nothing to do, and the ground outside is wet. If they go out, they will not be able to find out."

"I see, let's check it first." Matsumoto said, "All the people in this hotel, all the guests at this party, not only those on the signature book, but also the people they brought in, all go through once."

"Yes." The forensic officer said.

No one can shoot, Conan suddenly thought, could it be remote control? Then I thought of something like a flashlight in Changzhang Xincang, could it be that thing?

At this time, Manager Matsumoto returned to the venue, and Conan hid behind Ran, and told about the flashlight-like thing that Shinkura Changzhang had.

At the request of Manager Matsumoto, Shinkura Changzhang took a look at Conan, took the thing out of his trouser pocket and handed it to the forensic personnel.

What, what's going on? Conan felt strange about this look of Akura Toneaki, but he couldn't figure out where the strangeness was.

At this time, the forensic personnel reported that Changzhang Xincang handed over a flashlight, but it was also a remote control. As for the remote control or something, it is not clear.

Manager Matsumoto asked Shinkura Toneaki, "What is this for remote control, Mr. Shinkura?"

Shinkura Changzhang said: "This is a remote control for an electronic alarm clock, which is used to stop the alarm clock. I bought it because it could be used as a flashlight for night use. But the electronic alarm clock has long since broken, so I threw it away. and this small flashlight is easy to carry, so I kept it." Then he asked, "Can I return it?"

Manager Matsumoto said: "Sorry, this thing is kept by our police for the time being."

Shinkura Changzhang said: "Okay."

Manager Matsumoto asked: "By the way, Mr. Xincang, may I ask if the route you took Mr. Takada to the stage was arranged in advance?"

"Yes." Shinkura Changzhang said.

"Who arranged it?" Matsumoto administrator asked.

"I arranged it." Xincang Changzhang said.

"Who knows?" Matsumoto administrator asked.

"I don't know who knows the complete route, but the seats on this road are fixed, and there are nameplates on them, and anyone who is interested can know it at a glance." Niakura Changzhang said, "If you doubt me, Matsumoto Administrator, you don't have to, if there is anyone here who wants Mr. Takada's affairs the last, it is my secretary."

"Mr. Xincang, it's too early to say whether you are the murderer or an accomplice of the murderer," Matsumoto said.

At this time, Shibata Kenichi came, and Manager Matsumoto asked the forensic personnel to check him.

Not long after, the forensic personnel reported that there was a lot of dust on the soles of Shibata Kenichi's shoes, but there was no gunpowder smoke reactant, and the patterns on the soles were different from those left at the shooting scene.

"Look, Sachiko, I didn't do this," Shibata Kenichi said, and then glanced at Seiji Ishimoto, "I repeat, I didn't send that threatening letter either, I'm not that bored yet, I admit it Hate this guy, but not enough to kill him."

At this point, the clues were broken, the interrogation ended, Ishimoto Seiji was sent to the police hospital, and Mao Li did not follow.

Then, after several hours of investigation, the police did not find the pair of shoes, so the management officer Matsumoto led the team to withdraw, and all the guests who came to the party went back, and Mao Li also drove Lan, Sonoko, and Conan away. ...

On the other side, the time moves forward a bit, around 7:10pm, Mei Dai Restaurant.

Yamazaki received a call from Maori, heard the reporter's question through the mobile phone, and immediately reminded Maori not to intervene, and then couldn't justify it.

After Yamazaki hung up the phone, he greeted Mei Daizi, and went to the front desk, and found that the murder of House of Representatives Masao Takada was being broadcast on TV, so he told what Maori had seen.

Miko Miyamoto said, "Tell me about your speculation."

Yamazaki said: "Mr. Ishimoto and Representative Takata who received the threatening letter were shot at the same time, one was shot in the shoulder and the other in the chest. If the target was Mr. Tanaka, then there would be such a deviation. The killer's marksmanship or gun is so poor that it is unimaginable. So I speculate that the target of this shot was actually Congressman Takata, as to whether Mr. Ishimoto’s threatening letter was sent by the murderer to confuse the police, it’s hard to say.”

"Whether this conjecture is true or not, let time tell." Miko Miyamoto smiled, then looked at the time, "You go."...

The next day, Monday, August 10th, in the morning, Miyamoto's house.

The front page of the morning paper published news about the murder of House of Representatives member Masao Takada. Finally, it was suspected that Masao Takada's death was related to the under-investigation incident of Representative Marutani and Representative Okubo in Tokyo.

The morning news screen on the TV suddenly switched to the live news screen. In the background of the screen, a large group of reporters gathered outside a villa. After we rushed in, we found four dead bodies, Mr. Takada’s secretary, Mr. Shinkura Tsuneaki, Tokyo’s Marutani and Okubo representatives, and a middle-aged man. According to what I learned from colleagues, this man’s name is Hira Shiro Oka, also known as Piranha Hiraoka, is a criminal expert who specializes in extortion. The above is all the information we know so far. If there is any new information, we will let you know in time. I am Rena Mizumu, thank you " Then the screen switched back to the early news screen, but it introduced the murder of Representative Takada yesterday, and the scandal of Representative Marutani and Representative Okubo.

"Now the media is going crazy again," Yamazaki said.

"So what's your guess?" Miko Miyamoto asked.

"Infighting." Yamazaki said, "Secretary Shinkura betrayed Representative Takata. The murderer who killed Representative Takata should be Mr. Hiraoka Shiro, and Mr. Ishimoto's threatening letter should be sent by him."

"It's a little bit wrong," Miko Miyamoto said, "Extortion is based on words, not guns, guns are robbed. The murderer is obviously a master of guns if the bullet brushed Mr. Ishimoto's shoulder and hit Representative Takata. .Unless Mr. Hiraoka deliberately hides his clumsiness, but this may be too small."

"That's true," Yamazaki asked, "but if the murderer wasn't him, who would it be?"

"I don't know the results of the investigation, how would I know this." Miko Miyamoto smiled, then looked at the time, "It's almost time, I'm going to work."

"Then I'll go to work next door too." Yamazaki said with a smile. ...
