Chapter 97
"I'm in the rest area. I'm more interested in the puzzle over there, so I've been working on it. If you don't believe me, you can go and see that the puzzle is only more than half done."
The skinny monkey's voice was rarely louder, and he lowered his head again after he finished speaking, playing the role of an introverted boy to the fullest.
Maori Kogoro said "oh" and looked at Xiaoshuai. Xiaoshuai lifted his hair and said: "I happened to be in the rest area, but I didn't see anyone doing the puzzle when I went there. It was about 5:20. Emmm, if I remember correctly, the puzzle was put together at the beginning."
His words made everyone look at Shouhou with suspicion. Shouhou explained: "It was indeed put together, but I messed it up and put it together again. Moreover, I should have been there around 5:30, so it's normal that you didn't see me."
Everyone reluctantly believed his words, and Xiaoshuai continued:
"I went directly to the small viewing room to watch the movie, and there should be a record of the movie playing there."
"Mr. Iwai, do you know if your daughter knows them?" The security captain asked Iwai Rintaro, and the other party replied:
"I know my daughter's social life very well. Her friends are only women. She usually stays away from men other than relatives subconsciously. She doesn't know these three men."
It seems that the crime committed by acquaintances can be ruled out preliminarily. Is it a random crime?
After listening to everyone, Conan prepared to go to the observation deck and the rest area to look for the first crime scene.
He left without saying a word. Seeing that Kitagawa Anshu was still standing there and didn't intend to move, he thought to himself: This time, I will definitely find the truth before Kitagawa Anshu.
Kitagawa Anshu already knew the truth. He asked Xiaoshuai: "Have you been watching the movie seriously? What's the name of the movie you watched?"
"Yes, I watched "I LOVE DOG". Although not many people have seen this movie, it is still quite good." Xiaoshuai casually put on a disc that looked like no one would watch it. Xiaoshuai still remembers its introduction very clearly. In his opinion, reading the introduction = watching the movie. When they ask about it, he can just follow the introduction.
"What a coincidence, I have seen this movie. The third dog in it is particularly impressive. It actually dismantled the male protagonist's sofa into a heart shape to encourage the male protagonist to confess." Kitagawa Anshu has not seen this movie. He made up this to deceive Xiaoshuai.
Xiao Shuai didn't expect that someone present had actually seen it, so he prepared to casually say a few words and change the subject: "Yes, I was also deeply impressed, and I even wanted to buy a dog myself." He remembered that there was a sentence in the introduction that said "the male protagonist confessed to the female protagonist with the encouragement of the dog", and the plot the other party was talking about should be the corresponding sentence,
"Let's not discuss these for now, the most important thing now is the murder."
"I am just 'discussing' the murder with you. There is no such plot in this movie. You didn't watch the movie seriously at all, so what were you doing during that time? Killing people and dumping bodies "Beichuan Xingshu approached Xiaoshuai, and Xiaoshuai's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "I didn't. In fact, I fell asleep after watching it for a while. I said that to avoid your suspicion." "Really? When I was observing the body just now, I noticed that there was a little paint on her hands, and there was a little stain on your cuffs, which seemed to be paint. If it was stained with fingers, fingerprints could probably be seen. How do you want to explain it?" Beichuan Xingshu grabbed one of Xiaoshuai's hands and slowly raised it. There was a little light stain on the brown cuffs that was difficult to detect. Xiaoshuai's pupils contracted and it took a while for him to accept the reality. He told the story, including his motives and thoughts. Because of the storm and heavy rain yesterday, Xiaoshuai didn't sleep all night. He didn't know what time it was. He wanted to go out of the room for a walk, but he saw two men sneakily taking an unconscious woman to a room, and one of the men even tampered with the surveillance. Xiao Shuai thought something was going to happen, so he followed him secretly out of curiosity. The man didn't lock the door, so he bravely opened a crack to see, but he didn't expect to see the murder process.
He quickly closed the door and left, and returned to the room tossing and turning. Finally, at around five o'clock, he went out to take another look. The figure of Miss Iwai passing by caught his attention. He suddenly felt his heartbeat speed up, and the murder scene kept appearing in his mind.
Ten minutes later, he went in the direction where Miss Iwai went...
In the rest area, Conan had just confirmed that the observation deck was not the crime scene, so he went to the puzzle table to observe first. This puzzle was only three-quarters completed, and if you look closely, you can see that many places are wrong. Skinny Monkey should not be lying.
There was nothing special about the viewing room. He took a general look and came to the painting room. Sure enough, this was the first crime scene, with messy and scatteredThe paint box still showed signs of struggle.
One of the opened paints caught Conan's attention, because one of the squares was clearly dug out by hand. This should be the evidence that the deceased wanted to leave, perhaps on the murderer.
He ran back to take a look, but he didn't expect the security guards to take Xiao Shuai away, and Kitagawa Anshu smiled at him.
Conan stopped: I lost again.
"Thank you for helping me find the murderer who killed my daughter." Iwai Rintaro didn't expect that Kitagawa Anshu would find the truth first. He thought he could see the sleeping Kogoro once.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do. I also have to thank Mr. Maori for eliminating one first, so I locked the murderer so quickly. I think Mr. Maori should have seen the real murderer a long time ago, but he just wanted to give me a chance to show off." Kitagawa Anshu waved his hand and said modestly.
Maori Kogoro said with an embarrassed expression: "Really?" Then he said confidently, "Ahahaha, yes, I am like this. Sometimes opportunities should be given to young people."
Everyone complimented him a few more times and then went their separate ways.
In the staff dormitory on the 15th floor, no matter who Amuro Toru and Matsuda Eiji did, the other would keep an eye on them.
It took less than half an hour for them to go from subconscious reaction at the beginning to deliberate, from sneaking at the beginning to being aboveboard now.
"Why don't we each take a step back and not spy on each other?" Amuro Toru suggested.
Matsuda Eiji thought that he didn't have any tasks now and wouldn't do anything that he was afraid of others knowing, so he shook his head and refused.
A cross appeared on Toru Amuro's forehead, and then he took a deep breath to calm down: "Let's fight again. If I win, you can't monitor me for the next few days. If you win, you make a request, as long as it's not excessive, I will do it."
"Okay, but I have a request, you can't hit my face, otherwise it will be considered a violation." Matsuda Eiji said, and Toru Amuro was silent for a while and nodded in agreement.
The two found a relatively open and deserted place, prepared their postures, and then the first move of Toru Amuro hit Matsuda Eiji's face. This punch came unexpectedly and was taken for granted. Matsuda Eiji's fist had not landed on Toru Amuro before he urgently withdrew and covered his face. With a pah, a false tooth fell to the ground.
He understood now that Toru Amuro's real purpose was this, which was really treacherous.
Matsuda Eiji glared at him fiercely, then left a sentence "You violated the rules." and prepared to leave.
His disguise was broken, and he had to think of a way.
Toru Amuro was still staring at the false teeth on the ground in a daze. Feeling that he was about to leave, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed his hand:
"What's the matter, Mr. Matsuda? You're going to run away because your disguise is broken. What's wrong with your face that you can't let others see?"
He gradually exerted force to move his hand covering his face away. Matsuda Eiji also increased his strength to prevent Toru Amuro from succeeding:
"I can show my true face to anyone I want. I don't want to show it to you now, is that not okay?"
"No, I want to see it, I have to see it."
"Are you some childish elementary school student?" As he spoke, Toru Amuro saw that the gap between his teeth was the same as Matsuda Jinpei's.
"So what if I'm childish? It's a pity not to see such a good opportunity." After saying this, Toru Amuro prepared to use his other hand.
Matsuda Eiji quickly grabbed it with his other hand in advance.
The two of them were in a stalemate. Toru Amuro glanced around with his peripheral vision, then slowly moved his position, and suddenly exerted force to push Matsuda Eiji down on the sofa.
When he fell, Eiji Matsuda subconsciously wanted to support himself with his hands. Taking advantage of this moment, Toru Amuro released his hand and quickly pulled off the disguise material.
Eiji Matsuda's eyes widened. Toru Amuro pressed him hard to prevent him from running away. He stared at his face for a long time and then laughed: "Ha, ha, it's you after all."
You actually went to the fifth personality as well. There won't be Hagiwara and the squad leader behind you, ha, ha, what am I thinking, how is it possible.
"Don't show that expression, it's disgusting, I've seen it, so, Mr. Undercover, can you let me go?"
"Do you remember?"
"No, I guessed."
"As expected of you, you too?" Toru Amuro shook his head again after saying that, "It shouldn't be, don't you remember anything about the past?"
Matsuda understood what he meant. He wanted to ask if he was undercover in the fifth personality, but he quickly denied this possibility.
"You remember a little bit about your childhood. We were classmates?"
"Yeah." Amuro Toru nodded, then asked, "Do you know that you..."
Before he finished his words, Matsuda answered: "I know. I was rescued at the critical moment. I have some sequelae, so I lost my memory."
"The Fifth Personality is really powerful. No one noticed it."Amuro Toru sighed.
"So can you get off me? It's so heavy."
Matsuda pushed Amuro Toru away, and Amuro Toru got up with the force.
"I'm glad you're still alive." This seemed to be the second time he said this, but he didn't mind saying it twice.
"Okay, stop being so cheesy. My disguise is completely broken now. I have to fix it. If the fix fails, you wait." Matsuda picked up the disguise mask. There was a big hole on it, and a wrinkled piece next to it, which couldn't be smoothed out at all.
"Baka!" Matsuda punched Amuro Toru to vent his anger. Amuro Toru smiled and apologized, but Matsuda felt even more uncomfortable:
"Be more normal, my fists are itching when you laugh like this."
Amuro Toru restrained his smile and tried to be expressionless.
Matsuda finally felt much better.
He hesitated for a while, and decided to send a message to ask the people in the fifth personality what to do.
