Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

314 The Duke of Darkness Returns

"This guy's belt is so strange," Conan flipped up the veil and pointed out, "Look, it's tied the wrong way. His habits are really different from everyone else's."

Yokomizo squatted down to check, and found that the details were exactly the same as what Conan said.

"These points are really unreasonable, Mr. Maori."

Kogoro nodded solemnly: "He didn't put on this outfit by himself, but someone helped him put it on. So Mr. Jiang Yuan was pushed down from the room on the 21st floor onto the bronze statue by the real Duke of Darkness..."

Kogoro stood up and looked up at the sky, then looked back at everyone in the tour group.

"That means the murderer, the Dark Night Duke, is still among us."

Kogoro came to a conclusion, and everyone was in a panic. He walked towards the other members of the tour group and said, "In this case, I must ask you all, where were you when Mr. Jiang Yuan fell down at around 10 o'clock? Please explain."

Yokomizo also realized that this was most likely a murder case.

The detective began to reason.

He immediately sent someone to rent a room for police interrogation, placed the victim's body in the hotel's office, and made logistical preparations.

Winnet and her friends were also part of the tour group and needed to be present.

The members of the tour group followed Yokomizo to the rented interrogation room, waited outside, and followed the procedure one by one.

Winette quietly complained to Ai: "Why did Xiaolan and Conan go in directly?"

"Because the police officer treated the uncle as a guest of honor, he even gave up the presiding judge's seat and stood at the back to take notes like a newly recruited police officer. The uncle was very majestic."

She saw the police officer with thick eyebrows and big eyes and thought he was following the rules.

It turns out that he is Kogoro's little fanboy.

……

Inside the interrogation room.

"I see. At ten o'clock, you were at the observation deck with Xiaolan and the others admiring the sea view."

Satoshi Maeda, who was sitting opposite him, nodded nervously, "Yes, it was just past ten when I separated from them."

Conan, who was watching from the sidelines, was a little confused.

He didn't think Mr. Maeda was lying, but his mental state seemed a little poor and his attitude was a little unnatural.

Kogoro was very unhappy because this boy asked his daughter to go to the observation deck.

Besides, this guy already has a girlfriend.

Seeing Kogoro's ambiguous attitude, Xiaolan stepped forward to help and said, "What he said is true, Dad."

Kogoro's look became even more unfriendly.

At this moment, he felt that that bastard Kudo Shinichi was more pleasing to the eye than the man in front of him.

Yokomizo asked as he took notes: "Mr. Maeda, you should have been the one looking at the watch at that time, right?"

"Ah."

Maeda Satoshi nodded silently.

With only his one-sided statement, there is no way to prove that he left at ten o'clock.

Yokomizo announced, "Okay, I got it, please call the next person in."

The person who came in instead of Maeda was Miss Kamijou Hideko. She did not sit in the seat for interrogation as usual, but came up to Kogoro, put one hand on his shoulder and slowly stroked his cheek with the other hand.

"My alibi is perfect, isn't it?" Kamijou Hideko stroked Kogoro's cheeks, chin, and beard, and seductively pulled him closer to her. She said, "Because when this happened, I was in the bar with you the whole time! Isn't that right, great detective?"

Kogoro was a little resistant at first, but soon fell into the caressing and the big, white thing.

His eyes widened as round as eggs, and he followed her words and said, "That is to say... yes, yes..."

Seeing that Kogoro looked so happy that he didn't want to leave, Yokomizo's face turned red.

Seeing him repeating her words like a ventriloquist puppet, Yokomizo finally couldn't help coughing.

It is really shameless to do this in public.

Conan saw that Xiaolan's face was almost green, so he walked around the table and said calmly: "But didn't uncle get drunk in the end?"

The three were immediately awakened.

“That’s true…” Kamijou Hideko did not refute.

Yokomizo continued to call the next person.

It is the combination of Jincheng and his servant Jingjiang.

"I was right there in the open-air restaurant where Mr. Jiang Yuan was pushed down. Right, Shizue?"

"Yes, sir."

Maori Kogoro's eyes narrowed: "Is there anyone who can prove this?"

"Everyone was in a turmoil at the time. I didn't know if anyone would remember me." Jin Cheng frowned. "It's unavoidable for a person to die in that way."

Conan was surprised by the last sentence.

What does this mean? Does this old man know Mr. Jiang Yuan?

He remembered that the man with the computer once said on the phone that Jiang Yuan Shinan's real identity was a hacker.

"Okay, next one."

This time it was Winnet and the other two.

"Between 9:30 and 10:00, Xiao Ai and I were both in the room. Ms. Lin was walking outside at the time, taking photos of the night scene, and she happened to capture the scene of Mr. Jiang Yuan falling, so it couldn't have been her who did it."

Winnett immediately cleared the three people of suspicion.

With the support of Xiaolan and Conan, the suspicion was quickly eliminated.

When alternating with the latter person, Winnet noticed something was wrong.

Shiro Konno didn't even carry his computer with him.

Conan also frowned. When he was in the restaurant, he heard Konno say that he named his computer the same as his mother.

Not only in the lobby, but also in the restaurant, he and his computer were inseparable, but now he didn't carry it with him.

"I was in my room from 9:45 to a little after 10 o'clock, using my e-mail to read the e-mails sent to me," he said. "I think you can understand it if you just look at the hotel's records."

"But you haven't talked to anyone during this time, right?"

"Of course I talk to the computer."

Kogoro was shocked by his words.

His gloomy appearance is scary enough, and he is also a fetishist.

Yokomizo called in the last person - Sayama Akiko.

"Acong didn't come back to the room until after ten o'clock. I was watching videos alone during this time."

"Then there's no one who can prove your story, right?"

Kogoro made Commander Ikari's signature move.

"But I can tell you what the movie is about. It's about a bomb planted in a skyscraper..."

"No, no!" Kogoro shook his head and denied it. "This statement cannot be used as evidence at all."

……

Winnet and the other two were waiting outside the door.

Xiaolan, Conan and Miss Sayama walked out side by side.

"Miss Winnet, you haven't gone back yet?"

"Well, our rooms happen to be next to each other, so I thought I'd wait for you guys... and I also wanted to ask, Lin and I shouldn't be suspected, right?"

"How could that be? There's no such thing, right, Conan?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded simply.

Next to her, Akiko Sayama looked around for her boyfriend Satoshi Maeda, but when she found he was gone, she started complaining, saying that he might have gone out to look for other women.

"No, he kept talking about you, Miss Sayama, when we were at the observation deck."

Xiaolan spoke up for Maeda, and Akiko Sayama didn't care about the matter anymore. She acted a little reserved in front of Winnet and her group. When she arrived at the elevator, she quickly turned her attention to the detective team that had just interrogated her.

"It's so infuriating. What is that detective doing with your father?" Sayama Akiko crossed her arms and walked in unhappily. "They must think I'm the murderer."

Xiaolan smiled a little helplessly. After these interactions, she also understood Miss Sayama's character.

He has harsh words, but is actually a good person who is not good at expressing emotions.

In short, it's tsundere.

Winnet's sense of déjà vu became stronger. Because she and Ai have very similar personalities, she always says some harsh words to scare Ai, but in fact she is very soft-hearted. As expected, the two of them are very similar. When she thought about this, her foot was stepped on again. Fortunately, she was wearing sports shoes, which are not only resistant to dirt, but also have good protective effects.

"Besides me, there are obviously a lot of other people who are suspicious!"

Sayama Akiko continued to complain.

She is quite right.

Conan nodded secretly.

During the interrogation, each member of the tour group gave vague statements and had no clear alibi.

Xiaolan's eyes were filled with expectation. She didn't want the couple to be suspected. She asked Sayama, "Then... did you ask for any room service when you were in the room?"

"If I had ordered room service, I would have said so."

Sayama answered with the same attitude as before. Conan next to him was brainstorming, wondering how the criminal escaped from the room after pushing Jiang Yuan down the stairs. There was an anti-theft lock on the inside of the room, or a metal lock with a chain.

All he could confirm at the moment was that the murderer was still in this hotel.

"I remember... I called the counter." Akiko Sayama suddenly thought of it.

"Did Ms. Sayama call?"

Winnet asked.

"Well, I'll ask the front desk to provide wake-up service."

"When?"

"About ten, I think."

"That's fine." Winette patted Xiaolan's shoulder gently. "In a big hotel like this, as long as the phone is used, the time of use and room number will be recorded."

"Then Miss Sayama will have an alibi!" Xiaolan said happily.

Conan looked back with some concern and found that Sayama Akiko's expression was not right. She should have been relieved after getting the alibi, but her face showed astonishment, as if such a development was unexpected.

Winnet looked at Conan, wondering how far this detective had come in his investigation. She asked:

Save Wu Ling Yiba Mio wine order wine

"During the interrogation, is there anyone who is more suspicious?"

Conan smiled bitterly. Just when he was about to say that everyone was suspicious, the elevator lights stopped changing and the elevator door opened. He saw Winette's frowning expression and heard Xiaolan's cry. He quickly turned his head and opened his mouth wide.

The Duke of the Night!

A mysterious man dressed in the costume of the Duke of Darkness stood in front of them.

Akiko Sayama was so scared that she put her hands in front of her body and murmured "No way". Winette hugged Ai behind her and glanced at Mingmei's condition. Among the six people in the elevator, Mingmei was the calmest. She just stared at the Duke of Dark Night.

"Don't come over here!"

Xiaolan stood at the front and stopped everyone with one hand.

At this time, Winnet was also ready to make a move, ready to subdue the Duke of Dark Night before he took out the dangerous items, but because Xiaolan was standing in front of her, she did not take direct action.

However, the Dark Night Duke in front of him seemed very slow and did not move for two full seconds. If it were her, she would have taken out a gun and shot the moment the elevator door opened.

Winnett frowned even deeper. She did not sense any hostility from the Dark Night Duke. In addition, he did not use any means such as rhetoric to lower other people's psychological defenses. It seemed as if he just showed up specially to let everyone know that the real Dark Night Duke was not dead.

But Xiaolan's thoughts were obviously not that complicated. After seeing the dangerous person, she was stunned for a moment, then made a fake hand knife move, followed by a high kick.

The sweeping kick brushed past the mask and passed by.
