Chapter 1076: The Conventional 3-Choice
After some time had passed, routine inquiries had been completed and the on-site search was almost complete.
Takagi Wataru came back with a report on the results of his investigation.
He glanced at the manual and said to Inspector Megure, "According to the testimonies we have collected, the only two people who do not have alibis for a long period of time between 4:5 and :, the estimated time of Mr. Hatto's death, are Ms. Madoka Kanae and Mr. Fuse Oyasu."
Hearing what Takagi Wataru said, Madoka Kanae was afraid that she would be mistaken for the murderer, and she quickly explained: "What are you talking about? At that time, I was running around in the museum, giving instructions to the staff!"
"I told you that too," Bushi Yikang said loudly, "I've been feeling sick in my stomach since this morning, and I happened to be in the toilet at that time."
He pointed at Hirokazu Kajitani standing next to him and said, "If we're talking about suspicious things, isn't he more suspicious?"
Hirokazu Kajitani was struggling under the grip of a staff member: "Let me go!"
Takagi Wataru walked over, reminded him to be honest, and then asked him what he was doing when the incident happened.
Hirokazu Kajitani said that he bought clothes from a staff member and sneaked into the music studio at around 5:20 pm, and this matter can be confirmed with the staff member.
Asking a police officer to confirm the authenticity of the testimony, Takagi Wataru returned to Inspector Megure and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, it is strange. The time period when Miss Yuancheng's whereabouts could not be confirmed was from 4:4 to 50:;
布施先生是5点到5点15分，再加上梶谷先生的5点20左右，这三人的时间都不重合啊。”
Inspector Megure understood what he meant: "In other words, whether it is the three people or two of them, there is no possibility of accomplices?"
Youya pinched his chin. Judging from the timing, it is impossible for the three of them to be accomplices, which means that the murderer is one of them?
Well, a very standard three-choice-one section.
Thinking of this, Yuya asked, "Excuse me, can any of you three play baseball?"
The baseball tied with a kite string at the scene was most likely one of the props used to hang the rope.
However, if you want to throw a baseball with a string over an iron pole as high as the top of the fence, it is impossible to do it without a certain level of baseball skills.
The three of them were stunned.
Bushi Yikan spoke first: "I played rugby until I went to college." Bushi Yikan is very tall and has a strong physique, so he is indeed suitable for playing rugby.
Kanae Madoka said that she played tennis when she was in middle school.
Hirokazu Kajitani was once a ghost member of the mountain climbing club.
None of the three can play baseball.
Hirokazu Kajitani said, "Speaking of baseball, Hatano played baseball until high school. It is said that he is an outfielder with very strong arms."
An outfielder is a player in a baseball game who is responsible for defending the entire outfield area and part of the outfield area on both sides of the outfield.
As an outfielder, strong arm strength is one of the criteria to measure whether he is good.
Youye pondered, that is to say, these three people do not have the ability to throw the ball, but the deceased has the arm strength to throw the ball?
Bushi Yikang was a little puzzled: "Why do you suddenly ask this question?"
Yuya explained casually, "I found a baseball in the audience seats at the scene."
Kanae Madoka recalled, "I think it was given to him by all the members of the baseball club when he graduated from Hatano High School. He always carries it with him."
Yuya nodded slightly. The baseball did have the words "a high school baseball" written on it.
At this time, Kajitani Hirokazu suddenly said sarcastically: "As expected of your ex-girlfriend, you know so much. That was when you started dating him until you debuted and became famous, right?"
Kanae Enjo stared at him and made no move to respond.
Seeing that she ignored him, Kajitani Hirokazu directly changed the topic to another person: "And then it was the president who intervened and snatched away this beautiful agent, causing Botu to be dumped, right?"
Bushi Yikang looked like he didn't want to say more: "That was many years ago."
Hirokazu Kajitani sneered: "What does it have to do with what you say? The twisted relationship and the death of Hatano, who knows how many unknown twisted thoughts are hidden in it?"
The two of them changed color when they heard this, and stared at Hirokazu Kajitani with ugly expressions.
However, as a reporter, Hirokazu Kajitani was extremely thick-skinned and turned a blind eye to their glares.
Inspector Megure coughed lightly and said, "Do you know where Hatano's phone is? It can't be found in the entire music studio."
Enjo Kanae frowned and said, "I don't know. He usually keeps it in his breast pocket."
Takagi Shigeru said: "There was no mobile phone in that pocket, but there was a note saying 'I'm sorry'."
As he spoke, he took out an evidence bag with a note inside.
"Can you identify whose handwriting this is?"
The three suspects stepped forward, took a look, and shook their heads in confusion.
Yuya suggested: "In that case, let's have everyone present write it down with a pen, and write their names so that they can be distinguished."
Inspector Megure nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. Brother Kamiya finally knew to ask for my opinion instead of just asking his men to do the job. He nodded at Takagi Wataru.
Takagi Shigeru took out his pen and manual and started asking everyone to write in turn.
There were no surprises after one round, and everyone was very cooperative, even Vermouth was no exception.
Until it was Toru Amuro's turn, no one knew what he was thinking and did not respond to Takagi Wataru's shouting several times.
Toru Amuro was indeed lost in memories.
When he heard Kanae Madoka say that the cell phone was in Hatano's chest pocket, the words "chest pocket" suddenly turned on the switch of his memories.
He recalled the death of his friend three years ago.
Under Takagi Shigeru's "passionate" call, Amuro Toru finally came to his senses and wrote "I'm sorry" and his name on the manual.
Conan was thinking about the case when he suddenly heard Mao Lilan calling him: "Conan, what's Miss Xiaozi's last name?"
Because he was thinking, Conan's reaction was inevitably a little slow, and he subconsciously answered: "Enomoto, what's wrong?"
When he looked back, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The one who asked him the question was not Ran Mouri, but Vermouth disguised as Azusa Enomoto!
Conan's face instantly turned extremely ugly, but Vermouth didn't care at all. Instead, she winked at him smugly.
"Ms. Xiaozi, it's your turn." Just at this moment, Takagi Shigeru shouted over here, asking her to go over and write.
"Coming!" Vermouth responded and ran over happily.
Conan looked at Vermouth's back with a gloomy expression.
He knew that the reason why Vermouth dared to stay here so brazenly even after her identity was revealed was because she was sure that Conan, Yuya and the others would not dare to act rashly as they did not want to implicate Mouri Ran and the others.
Especially once Miyano Shiho is exposed, even if she changes her identity, she will not be able to continue living with them.
Amuro Toru walked over to Vermouth who had finished writing and whispered, "I'm really surprised you could think of this way to ask. If you had told me Miss Azusa's last name in advance, I could have provided you with more detailed information."
"But why did you come here disguised as Miss Xiaozi? It's just to investigate the lyrics of an unreleased song. I am enough on my own."
Vermouth squinted at Amuro Toru and said coldly, "I followed you because I knew you were coming with them. Who knows if you will abide by our agreement?"
