Chapter 828: Decryption of 5 Cai’an

August 26th, Saturday, before 3:00 p.m., at Minamiizu Town, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, Aono House.

Although Mao Li said that no one would be allowed to enter, he went in and checked Ryozo Aonoki himself, and found that he was indeed dead, so he called Lan to call the Henggou Police Department.

More than half an hour later, the Henggou Police Department who received Lan's call arrived with a team. He was very happy to see Mao Li, "Mr. Mao Li, it's great to see you again."

"I can't see what's good at all." Mao Li whispered to himself angrily, and then said, "This is the case, Henggou Police Department." After talking about the matter, he waited for someone to be invited to the tea room , but found that no one answered, broke a window and found Ryozo Aonoki hanged on the beam.

The Henggou Police Department was taken aback, "Ah, you mean that Mr. Ryozo Aonogi, the master of tea ceremony, has passed away?"

"That's him," Molly said.

"It's not good, it's a big incident." The Henggou Police Department immediately took a mobile phone and called back to the police station to report.

When the Henggou Police Department hung up the phone, Mao Li asked him suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

"Grandmaster Qingye's resignation has been announced, and there will be a press conference tomorrow. Now that he died suddenly, the media will definitely follow closely." Henggou Police Department said, "It's up to you now, Mr. Mao Li , you must help."

"Of course, you can rest assured." Mao Li smiled.

"That's good." Henggou Police Department said, then looked at the broken window and asked, "Who is this window?"

Mao Li said: "When we came, the doors and windows of the tea room were closed. In order to see what's going on inside, we broke this window."

"So that's what it means, that is to say, it was a murder in a secret room." Henggou Police Department asked, "Mr. Mao Li, are you sure that Master Aoye was killed by him?"

"It must be." Maori said, "Didn't I just say that? We were invited to drink tea, so it is absolutely impossible for Grandmaster Aono to commit suicide."

The Henggou Police Department asked about the names and identities of Ryoichi Aonogi, Yoshiko Hanazaki, Morio Yagura, and Masako Mimura, and then asked, "So, Mr. Mori, everyone, have you seen any suspicious people coming in and out?" No one saw him, so he asked again, "So, everyone, when was the last time you saw Grandmaster Qing Ye?"

Mori, Ran, Conan, Sonoko, Yakura Morio, Mimura Masako, and Aonogi Ryoichi all said that the last time they saw Master Aono was during lunch, and that Master Aono returned to the tea room after eating, and the time was not until one o'clock in the afternoon. arrive. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, we drank tea together until something happened.

Yoshiko Hanazaki said that the last time she saw Grandmaster Aono was after she packed up the restaurant and asked Grandmaster Aono for the specific time of the afternoon tea party. It was around 1:10 p.m. Wait for someone, then go to clean up the kitchen, and then prepare tea for everyone at around 1:50 in the afternoon.

"Yiyi?" Henggou Police Department asked, "Were they not together at the time?"

"Mr. Mori, Miss Lan, Miss Sonoko, and Conan, the four of them were in the attic by the pond at the time." Hanazaki Yoshiko said, "Mr. In her room," she said, looking at Masako Mimura with an ugly face, "she was throwing things in a temper tantrum."

Mori said: "It must be because Grandmaster Aono is about to give way to Mr. Yakura."

"What?" asked the Henggou Police Department, "Mr. Yakura, is this true?"

"This, the teacher didn't say." Yagura Moruo said.

"Mr. Maori?" Henggou Police Department asked.

"It's like this." Maori recounted what happened in the morning.

"So that's how it is." Henggou Police Department asked, "Then, Mr. Yakura,

Can you tell me what Master Qingye said when he left you? "

Yagura Morio said: "The teacher just told me something about the tea ceremony."

The Henggou Police Department asked Yamazaki and Mei Daizi, "What about you two?"

Yamazaki said: "We went to the forest in the morning, and after we came back, we dived in the pond. The water in the pond was so clear that they could see us. We had an alibi."

"Yes, we can prove it," Maury said.

"Diving? In this pond?" Henggou Police Department asked suspiciously.

Mei Daizi said: "Yes, it is said that there is a giant python living here, so I want to see if there is one."

"It's the legend about this pond." Yamazaki recounted the legend he heard in the morning.

"So that's how it is." Henggou Police Department said.

At this time, the door of the tea room was opened from the inside by the forensic personnel inside, and it was possible to enter.

In the tea room, there are some debris under the broken window, the tatami under the main seat is broken, and there is nothing else messy.

The Henggou Police Department first asked Yakura Moruo, Mimura Masako, Aonogi Ryoichi, and Hanazaki Yoshiko if there were any missing property here. After learning if there were any, he asked the forensic personnel: "Excuse me, when is Aono Master's death?"

The forensics staff said: "This tea room has no air-conditioning, and the humidity is high. Based on the condition of the remains, we preliminarily judged the time of death of the deceased to be an hour and a half ago."

Maori said, "That is to say, between one and two o'clock in the afternoon."

The Henggou Police Department asked: "So, Ms. Hanazaki, do you have an alibi between one and two in the afternoon?"

"Me? How could I come to kill Grandmaster." Hanazaki Yoshiko said in surprise.

Henggou Police Department asked: "Please tell me first, do you have an alibi?"

"No, no." Yoshiko Hanazaki said with a bow.

The Henggou Police Department asked the forensic personnel: "What is the cause of Master Qingye's death?"

The forensic officer pointed to the broken tatami mat on the main seat and said, "Look here. Based on this, we determined that the cause of death of the deceased was strangled to death here, and then he was hung on the beam."

The Henggou Police Department said: "Yes, yes, if it was hanged, then it shouldn't be damaged if the feet are off the ground."

The forensic officer said: "Also, this is not a secret room."

"What? Not a secret room?" Maori asked, "Where is the exit?"

The forensic officer said: "Look at the top, there is a skylight on the roof. If you stand on the beam where the deceased is hung, you can touch the skylight."

"Can I go up and have a look now?" Henggou Police Department asked.

"Please wait a moment," said the forensic officer.

Conan pointed to the knot on the pillar and said, "Hey, that knot is so strange."

The forensic personnel said: "This knot is usually used by fishermen."

Maori said: "Ah, I see, the murderer must be you, Ryoichi Aonoki."

Aonoki Ryoichi hurriedly argued: "No, it's not me. I have been packing things in the room. Although I resent him a little, I can't kill him. He is my father after all."

The Henggou Police Department asked: "Mr. Qingye, what is the resentment you are talking about?"

Mao Li said: "Because he refused to inherit the school, Grandmaster Qing Ye let him leave the house."

"So that's how it is." Henggou Police Department asked, "Then, Mr. Qingye, do you have an alibi for the time between 1pm and 2pm?"

"No." Aoki Ryoichi said.

At this time, the forensic personnel on the roof came down, and the Henggou Police Department invited Mao Li to go up to the roof to take a look, and then found that Mao Li looked different, so he asked tentatively with a smile: "Mr. Mao Li, could it be that you... "

"Whispering!" Maori exclaimed angrily, "Is it okay for me to be afraid of heights? Is this against the law?"

"Then how could it be? I just breathed a sigh of relief." The Henggou police department laughed, "I didn't expect that famous detectives also have the weaknesses of us ordinary people, and they really became much more friendly all of a sudden."

Afterwards, the Henggou Police Department supported Mao Li to the roof. Mao Li squatted on the roof and pointed out the location of their tea party. The two observed it and thought that if the murderer climbed to the roof through the skylight here, he could climb to the back of the tea room and hide from the crowd. They swam across the pond from an invisible angle, so the two went down from the roof to investigate on the opposite bank, and Yamazaki and others followed, but no one noticed, not even a wet spot.

Maori said: "Maybe because of the sun, the water stains evaporated."

The Henggou Police Department asked Yamazaki: "By the way, did you notice when diving just now, is there an exit from the pond to other places?"

Mei Daizi said: "No, we have searched all over, and there is not even a big hole."

Yamazaki said: "This pond should be artificially transformed, which is equivalent to a large fish tank."

"So that's how it is." Henggou Police Department said, then looked at the anti-theft equipment on the wall, and asked Hanazaki Yoshiko, "I seem to have read a news article about a reporter who came in over the wall and secretly took pictures. Is this kind of thing?"

Hanazaki Yoshiko said: "Yes, so this anti-theft device was installed later. Since then, every time someone invades, the alarm will go off, and no one has successfully invaded."

The Henggou Police Department asked, "Oh? Did the siren go off this afternoon?"

"No." Yoshiko Hanazaki said.

The Henggou Police Department said: "It seems that the murderer is in this room."

Mao Li said: "Ah, I see, the murderer is Ms. Hanazaki, she turned off the alarm first, then came to the tea room to kill Master Aono, then closed the doors and windows and went out through the skylight, swam to the other side and climbed over the wall, through the front door return."

"No, no, it's not like that at all." Yoshiko Hanazaki cried.

"Wait, wait," Yuanzi said, "Uncle, we were in the attic at that time. If someone came out from the skylight of the tea room, it would be impossible not to miss it."

Lan said: "That's right, and I saw Ms. Hanazaki coming out of the tea room. She came to the attic to inform us of the time to go to the tea room."

Conan said: "Uncle, Mr. Yakura came to find us in the attic, and before Miss Hanazaki who brought tea called everyone to have a tea party in the yard, no one went to the tea room from the bridge, and no one came out of the tea room." At this point, Conan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there was no way to go on the bridge, and there was still a way to go under the bridge, but who was the murderer? Maybe there will be evidence under the bridge.

The Henggou Police Department asked: "Mr. Maori, is this the truth?"

"Well," Maori said with an embarrassed dry smile, "it seems so, I seem to have misremembered it just now, I'm really sorry, Ms. Hanazaki."

Conan reminded: "Uncle, can people leave under that bridge?"

"Under the bridge? By the way, there is still that road." The Henggou Police Department immediately asked forensic personnel to check under the bridge, and soon learned that there were palm marks on the moss under the bridge. ...
