Conan: Another Famous Detective

Yu Gongming sorted out his thoughts and said after careful consideration:

First of all, it's the same issue I just mentioned when I saw the surveillance. Mr. Fukuda could obviously choose to escape through the safe stairs and turn to the back door without being exposed to surveillance. But why did he choose to leave directly through the front entrance with surveillance after the murder?

If according to what Uncle Maori said, he panicked after committing the crime and didn't think too much, then there are many things that cannot be explained.

For example, according to the report of the forensic personnel, no fingerprints were collected at the scene, not even from the iron gate of the safety staircase.

It is obvious that the murderer carefully processed the scene after the murder, including the victim's clothes, the murder weapon, and even the iron door of the safety staircase.

How could a murderer who could handle the scene so calmly be so panicky that he exposes himself to surveillance?

Hanomiya is right. One more thing is that if Mr. Fukuda killed someone, how could he keep such crucial evidence as the key with him after such a long time? Hattori Heiji also added.

Also! I also think it's a little strange! Conan saw that Akira Hanomiya and Heiji Hattori had expressed their opinions, and he couldn't bear the loneliness and spoke.

He said in his childish voice, as innocent as a child:

According to Mr. Guard, there is only one key to the iron door on the roof! And that one is now in Mr. Guard's drawer.

Then Mr. Fukuda's key was secretly obtained by him when he found an opportunity.

But why does Mr. Fukuda have such a key? This key is not the key to the guest room, nor is it the key to the hotel safe. Why does he have such a key to the iron door leading to the roof?

Did he have a premeditated plan a long time ago to harm the deceased or a certain woman?

But, if this is the case, this uncle is so stupid that he threw the bleeding body directly into the water tank for fear that the body would not be discovered quickly enough, and then left the hotel through the main entrance of the lobby in a swagger after the murder. Then, from three o'clock in the morning to now, I kept the key in my pocket, for fear that the policeman would not know that he was the murderer!

This... it seems to be true. The scarcity of clues at the scene is really inconsistent with Futian's current behavior... Officer Henggou frowned after hearing the analysis of several people.

Who knows what the murderer was thinking? Maybe he didn't expect the police to arrive so quickly, so he didn't hide the evidence in time? Mouri Kogoro retorted.

Akira Hanomiya ignored Mouri Kogoro, but said to Officer Henggou:

Officer, please give us some time to investigate. There are still many doubts about this case. Maybe the murderer is someone else. He may even be still in this hotel. If the police withdraw the team rashly and leave, it is very likely that the real murderer will be revealed. The murderer completely destroyed the evidence.

I have the same view. Hattori Heiji also echoed.

Conan didn't say anything due to his identity as a child, but he also hoped in his heart that the police would give them time to investigate.

Officer Henggou looked at the serious expressions of Akira Hanomiya and Heiji Hattori. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and said:

Understood, then please investigate as soon as possible. We have other cases to be busy with and cannot stay here for too long.

Well, we will do it as soon as possible, but I hope the police officers can properly cooperate with our investigation. Hanemiya Ming said.

That's no problem, I will greet them. Officer Henggou readily agreed to Yu Gongming's request.

After nodding in greeting to everyone, Yu Miyazaki and Hattori Heiji left the interrogation room, ready to start the investigation.

Mengyu followed the two of them naturally, and Conan also sneaked away while Xiaolan wasn't paying attention.

Detective Maori, aren't you going to investigate? Officer Henggou looked at the only [Detective] who stayed here and asked.

I won't go. I think the murderer is this Futian. Since those two brats want to cause trouble, let them go. Xiaolan, let's go back to the room. Officer Henggou will let us know if he needs us to cooperate with the investigation later. That'll be fine. Mouri Kogoro said.

Well, I will notify Detective Maori if necessary! Officer Henggou said.

Officer Henggou, let's say goodbye, Conan! It's time to go...Eh? Where did Conan go?

Xiaolan, who wanted to ask Conan to leave together, found that Conan was missing again.

…………

Hanomiya, do you have any clues about this case now? Hattori Heiji asked.

There are some. When I watched the surveillance, I always felt that something was not right. I feel that the key to this case is likely to be in that surveillance. Yu Gongming said calmly.

Well, I feel the same way. Mengyu also said.

Beside Mengyu, Conan, who followed quietly, also nodded silently.

In this case, let's go to the monitoring room and take another look at the monitoring. Hattori Heiji said.

good.

…………

Inside the guard room.

Several people checked the surveillance again.

Huh? Rewind the video a few seconds ago! Conan said suddenly.

The police officer operating the surveillance did as he was told.

Okay, right here, stop!

In the frozen scene, Yamazaki Masako has entered the lobby and is walking towards the elevator.

Look at Miss Masako's trousers! Conan said.

Yu Gongming looked at it intently and raised his eyebrows immediately.

Ms. Masako actually wears a pair of pants under her jeans? And judging from how loose the trousers are, it's probably not warm long johns, but another pair of jeans!

Wearing two pairs of jeans at the same time, most people wouldn't do that, right? Hattori Heiji wondered.

Some people will splice two pairs of jeans together to make their waists higher to make their legs look longer, but this kind of [two pairs] is different from Miss Masako who directly puts on two complete jeans. Meng Yu looked at Yamazaki Masako on the screen and frowned slightly.

And I feel that wearing it like this doesn't actually add any beauty. Instead, it makes her look a little bloated.

When I met Ms. Masako yesterday afternoon, her outfit was very good. It shows that she has a certain taste in dressing. She probably wouldn't wear two pairs of jeans.

Then it's a little strange that she's dressed like this now... Write down this suspicion first, and let's continue watching the surveillance. Hanemiya Ming said.

Everyone continued to check the surveillance.

The surveillance screen came to the elevator room.

Yamazaki Masako pressed the button for the 10th floor.

Eh? She actually pressed the button with her right hand... Yu Gongming's eyes narrowed.

Huh? Right hand? Hattori Heiji was confused.

I remember that when Miss Masako came back with us, she raised her right hand to look at the watch and pressed the floor sign with her left hand, right? Conan said.

Hmm... Speaking of which, when she wanted to stop Futian's harassment, she seemed to have used her left hand... Meng Yu also recalled.

You just said that she uses her right hand to read the watch...but her hand shows that it is worn on her left hand! Hattori Heiji pointed at the screen.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that on Yamazaki Masako's hanging left wrist, hidden by the sleeve of her coat, a small watch screen could be faintly seen.

The eyes of Akira Hanomiya, Mengyu, Conan and Heiji Hattori lit up at the same time!
