The part of the tape that was attached to the lock was torn off and returned to Conan's hand through the crack of the door. "After the tape is removed, there will be no evidence left, right?"
Kogoro stroked his chin and said, "But, this kind of thing may not be successful at the first try, right? This hotel is equipped with automatic locks, right?"
"Don't be afraid," Yokomizo understood immediately, "Just take the key from this room out. That way, not only can we confirm whether it is locked, but even if we are unlucky, we can cut off the tape. And the front end of the tape is the blind spot of the murderer's vision, because the murderer outside the door will not notice that the front end of the tape is still there!"
Conan continued to assist, "So that's why the key fell next to the clothes at the door, right?"
"Yes! That's right!" Yokomizo was shocked. "So the murderer took the victim's key. When he changed Mr. Jiang Yuan into the Duke of Dark Night's clothes, pushed him off the balcony and escaped, he used the same method to close the security lock and threw the key into the room through the crack in the door. Then he could escape. In this way, this room became a secret room. Everyone will think it was an accident!"
Kogoro looked at Conan depressedly, "I didn't expect you could come up with this trick."
"It's because I watched the mystery dramas on TV."
Conan rubbed the back of his head.
"So now, the problem lies in the alibis of the six members at the time of the crime."
Yokomizo concluded.
Conan told him about Miss Sayama's alibi, that she had called the counter to request a wake-up call at around 10 o'clock. Yokomizo came to the counter to confirm that it was indeed the case, and Kogoro next to him also said, "Miss Sayama and Xiaolan encountered the Dark Duke in the elevator, so it couldn't have been her." Yokomizo couldn't understand why the murderer, the Dark Duke, stole the clothes, which was totally unnecessary, and it didn't make sense even if the matter was thrown on Kaito Kid. And Mr. Konno also used the telephone line at around 10 o'clock, and it was impossible for him to attack the elevator when he was imprisoned by Kid.
"That sneaky Kidd is very suspicious, if you ask me."
"Miss Kamijou, who is with uncle, is also suspicious."
Kogoro's eyebrows jumped when he heard Conan's words.
【乾寻】9⒈⒋⑨零Э⑦㈨捌
They went to the bar to inquire and learned that Kamijou Hideko had put drugs in Kogoro's cup.
"It didn't take long for you to fall asleep," said the bar owner.
Yokomizo asked, "Where did she go later?"
"She only went to the bathroom once, but she came back about five minutes later."
"So she had been staying here when the incident happened?"
"Yes, she went out later when she heard the commotion."
It is basically impossible to complete the entire crime process in five minutes.
Finally, they went to an open-air restaurant and learned from the waiter that Jincheng and his servant Jingjiang were in the restaurant at the time. However, according to the waiter's testimony, Jincheng was walking in front when the riot occurred, and he obviously had vision problems...
Well, isn’t there someone around him who has vision problems but is not restricted in his movements?
It seems that even with this degree of disability, one can move like a normal person through training.
In this case, the only person without an alibi is Mr. Maeda...
While he was thinking, he saw Xiaolan suddenly running to the door.
She was out of breath, with a look of urgency on her face, "Where's Dad? Where is he?"
Conan stretched out a finger and pointed to the center of the restaurant.
"what happened?"
"I finally found it..." Xiaolan smiled happily, "I found Mr. Maeda's alibi!"
"what?"
"After Mr. Maeda separated from us, he met a few of his fans at the entrance of the observatory. I found that the date and time were clearly written on the autographs he gave them. It was 10:03 pm at that time. They also checked their watches, so it was definitely correct."
Xiaolan actually works so hard.
Conan smiled and said to her, "Then you should bring them here, wouldn't it be better?"
"That's right, I'll go call them now."
Conan felt jealous that Xiaolan cared so much about him.
However, in this case, his idea was wrong, and the murderer was not Mr. Maeda.
Wait!? Why didn't Mr. Maeda speak up during the interrogation? This is the most powerful evidence! Why couldn't he say it?
Conan went downstairs while thinking, and his train of thought was interrupted. According to the current situation, it was too unbelievable that no one had time to commit the crime.
I'm afraid that in the end it will really be Kaito Kidd who has to take the blame.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, his feet kicked something.
I looked down and saw it was a pen.
He remembered that the pen had fallen in Mr. Jiang Yuan's room, which was the scene of the crime. The ink of the pen had spilled all over the floor, and it was completely damaged and could not be used.
and many more! ?
He looked back quickly and found that the bronze statue was more than ten meters away from the pens.
Why is there such a big difference in the distance between the two people falling from the 21st floor? Is it because of the wind?
He ran to the statue and found the waitress at the restaurant: "Waiter sister, please ask."
"what happened?"
“When that person fell, was there any wind?”
"Yes. And the wind was particularly strong at that time. Every night in this season, the wind would blow non-stop, and it would blow from the left side of the statue to the right side. We all call it the Princess Wind, and it is also a scenic spot!" The waiter raised his head, "And the wind above is even stronger than that below."
Conan was stunned.
Since the wind is blowing from left to right, there is no way that if you fall from room 2101 on the right side of the middle, you will land on the bronze statue in the center.
Huh, huh, huh, huh, I didn't even notice such a simple thing.
When Conan was laughing secretly, Kogoro in the restaurant also shouted excitedly: "What, you said that the policeman who was knocked unconscious was a karate master? Good! I know who the murderer is!" Kogoro pointed a finger at the police officers, "My reasoning show will begin soon, gather all the members here!"
"Yes!"
Conan thought to himself that it was bad, and quickly tore off a page from his small notebook and wrote while running. After catching up with the police, he pretended to be Kogoro and asked them to conduct the experiment according to the contents of the note.
When everyone gathered, Kogoro began to read out the alibis in order, and the information from the karate master made him certain that the criminal was Maeda. When he mentioned Mr. Maeda -
"Wait a minute, Dad!" Xiaolan ran over in time, "Mr. Maeda, he is not the murderer!"
She took a breath and said, "Because he had met these two ladies at the time of the incident!"
The two ladies who came with her said with certainty: "There is absolutely no doubt about this!"
"No way... who could be the murderer?" Kogoro stroked his chin, looking anxious, "The murderer... the murderer must be Kaito Kid! He must have committed the crime and then escaped from the sky!"
At this time, Conan saw the signal light he asked the police officers to send.
When Kogoro was being questioned——
biu!
Conan held up the voice changer: "I think our joke ends here!"
……

"I'm talking to you!"
Kamijou Hideko was very angry when she heard this.
Yokomizo stretched out his hand to stop her and explained, "Please wait a moment. Actually, this is Mr. Maori's unique posture when he is reasoning. Is that right, Miss Xiaolan?"
"Yes."
Conan straightened Kogoro up and said, "I want to warn everyone that the area near the statue is very dangerous. Please leave immediately."
Everyone turned around and looked in the direction of the statue.
"How is this going?"
"I'm going to do an experiment now."
As Conan finished his words, several dark shadows appeared in the air and fell to the ground with a bang. Everyone could see clearly what had fallen - a quilt tied with a rope.
"What is this?" Yokomizo picked up one of them.
"You can think of the quilts as people, and this is what they look like when they fall from them," Conan explained. "Each quilt has an indication of which room the victim fell from."
Yokomizo glanced at the quilt in his hand. The label on it was "2101", which was the room number of the victim of this murder case, Mr. Ehara Tokino.
He immediately thought: Jiang Yuan fell on the bronze statue and died. Even if the wind was very strong, he would not be so far away from the statue.
I'm afraid it's more than twelve meters.
Conan saw his confusion, "It was indeed blown here by the Princess Wind. In this season, as long as it is night, a strong wind called Princess Wind will blow over the hotel, and it will blow from the left side of the statue to the right. It was the same when the victim Mr. Jiang Yuan fell, right, Miss waitress?"
"Yes," said the waiter. "At that time, I think the wind was stronger than it is now."
"The victim was wearing the Duke of Darkness's clothes when he fell from a high altitude. If the victim was pushed down from his room, according to this experiment, he definitely could not have fallen on this bronze statue. Even the quilt that fell from Mr. Jincheng's room, who was one floor below him, only fell next to the bronze statue."
"That's right, it turns out we were all fooled by the murderer!" Yokomizo reacted quickly, "In fact, the gloves clamped on the balcony railing and the closed room technique were not meant to make the whole incident look like an accident. It was just another trap set by the murderer to confuse the crime scene."
Conan confirmed: "That's right, the murderer did not design the room as a locked room after the crime happened. Instead, he committed the crime in his own room after completing the locked room."
"So, the most suspicious thing is the quilt that fell near the bronze statue." Yokomizo immediately ran forward to investigate, and saw the quilts in Kamijou Hideko and Konno Shiro's rooms one after another. Then, he saw the quilt marked "1901" in the lance in the hand of the bronze statue.
"This is Miss Sayama from Room 1901..."
"It was just a coincidence." Xiaolan said. "And didn't everyone else's quilts also fall next to the bronze statue?"
"That's right. The quilt was stabbed by coincidence, but it was not a coincidence that it fell in this place. And Miss Kamijou and Mr. Konno are not the murderers. The windows of their two rooms are too far away from the balcony of the victim's room. In this way, it is clear that the victim did not fall from there."
"But Miss Sayama's room is just downstairs from their room. If the quilt that fell from there landed there, it would be a coincidence..."
Conan interrupted Yokomizo and said, "This is definitely not a coincidence. There is only one place here, which is directly below the victim's balcony, and it will not be affected by this strong wind."
At this point, Winnet and Ai both understood what Conan meant. The window from which the victim fell was not a balcony that would be affected by strong winds. This building can be seen as two diamond-shaped blocks spliced together. The gap between the two corners will not be affected by the airflow, and this gap happens to be right below Miss Sayama's room.
This means that no matter how many times you throw it, it will be the same, it will not be affected by the wind, and the place where it falls will always be the tip of the bronze statue's gun.
"Although she called the counter to create an alibi, it actually proved that she was at the crime scene at the time of the crime."
"Then, the criminal is..." Yokomizo looked at Sayama Akiko.
"No, it's not!" Maeda Satoshi stood in front of Sayama Akiko, with his left hand on the upper edge of his right chest. "I am the murderer. I pushed that man down! This has nothing to do with Akiko! The best evidence is that Akiko and Xiaolan met me in the elevator when I was dressed as the Duke of Dark Night! That's right, it was me! I did all this!"
His face was filled with excitement, and at this moment he just hoped that everyone would think he was a murderer. He looked at Yokomizo and Kogoro with hope, and the quieter they were, the more cold sweat he broke out of, and his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.
However, the person who exposed him was neither Yokomizo nor Conan.
A familiar voice sounded behind my ears.
"Acong, I knew it, it's you." Akiko Sayama stared at him from behind with complicated eyes.
She knew his wishes. Noticing this, she was even less likely to push him out to take the blame, and she curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
"To protect you?" Yokomizo asked.
Conan continued, "That's right. Mr. Maeda stole the Duke of Darkness's clothes in order to divert everyone's suspicion of Miss Akiko, and deliberately met them in the elevator. But he is not an accomplice of the murderer. After the crime, he discovered the murderer's identity and deliberately did it as a cover-up. Let's take the way the tie is tied as an example. I don't know if the criminal has that special habit, but the things found in Mr. Maeda's room are indeed so, and then there are the clothes floating in the swimming pool."
"Wig!" Yokomizo yelled.
"Yes, he must have found it in the murderer's luggage, which confirmed the fact that she was the murderer. The reason why the wig was placed in the room was because she thought that Mr. Jiang Yuan's hairstyle did not need to be exactly the same as the Duke of Dark Night's hairstyle."
"That's right, that's why he risked being discovered and stole the wig and clothes together before appearing in front of them."
"Yes, he was also prepared to be caught. The reason he didn't speak was that he didn't want anyone to testify to his alibi. He was afraid that it would hinder him when he was arrested. I think he might have already made up his mind to admit that he was the murderer so that he could take Miss Sayama's place."
"No!" Maeda Satoshi shouted.
When Maeda said this, Sayama Akiko laughed disdainfully.
"Oh, stop making me laugh to death." Sayama said in a mocking tone, "My perfect crime was ruined because of you."
"Akira..."
Maeda Satoshi choked up.
She smiled.
"Yes, it was me! I was the one who killed that bastard, to avenge him for killing my brother three years ago."
