Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 193 The Disappearing Gun
The results of the police investigation were not optimistic.

In the estimated time of death, among the several suspects, most of the staff including Matsuo Takashi, Suzuki Yuko, and Nagai Ayako were waiting on the first floor, although there were also a few sporadic staff who arrived later. But they did not appear alone, so they all have alibi.

The same is true for Mori Kogoro's family and Kindaichiji, who were all on the first floor at the estimated time of death, and they heard Suwa Michihiko talking at the door of the office at around [-]:[-].

So a staff member who had been working on the fourth floor during this period became the only possible suspect.

This person is Rena Mizumu.

"It's not me!" Shui Wulian said with an innocent face: "I did stay on the fourth floor during that time, but I stayed at my work station and saw nothing and heard nothing. It was only because of the commotion over there that I knew someone had died."

"You don't need to quibble, you are the only one who may have committed the crime, those monitors are the evidence, and you were the only one who entered the office area on this floor during that time and did not leave!" Mori Kogoro said.

"It's really not me, I have no reason to kill him, and he and I are not in the same department, unlike those few people, we have no interest entanglement with him!" Shui Wurenai argued vigorously: "Besides, you have no evidence! "

"Are you not afraid that we will find your fingerprints on the murder weapon?" Mouri Kogoro said.

"It doesn't have my fingerprints on it, and I have a clear conscience."

"Maybe you wiped it off, or did it with gloves on."

"This is all just your guesswork!"

The two began to face each other.

Mouri Kogoro is the best at this kind of thing, but he often chooses the wrong opponent.

"If Sister Mizuwu is the murderer, then her marksmanship must be terrible, and she can't kill anyone after three shots." Conan gave a prompt on the side.

"That's right!" Maori Kogoro said suddenly, "You came here with a gun at the beginning, but you never left after that, and you didn't expect that the body of the deceased would be found so early, so you must be too late to deal with this gun!"

"You're right, brother Maoli, if he wants to discard the murder weapon, he can only throw it in a corner on the fourth floor, or throw it out of the window, as long as he finds the murder weapon, Ms. Rena Mizumura will be completely speechless! "

The Mumu Police Department immediately summoned its subordinates to conduct a carpet search on the fourth floor and outside the window.

Half an hour later, the police came back one after another. Unfortunately, no one found the gun with the silencer.

That gun is gone!

"How is it possible!" Mumu Police Department exclaimed: "No one has ever left this floor, so where did the murderer's gun go?"

"Could it be mixed in the prop gun, you didn't check it carefully?" Mori Kogoro said.

The staff immediately explained: props and guns are stored in the warehouse on the seventh floor, and the fourth floor is the office area, and these things will not be stored.

"Go and check again!"

After a period of time, the police still found nothing, only the police who went to the warehouse on the seventh floor have not returned.

"Although it's impolite to say so, since we are not suspected, can you let us go." Several staff members said, and others were also a little moved.

"Wait a minute!" Jin Tianyi Er jumped out of the crowd: "I have a question."

"what is the problem."

"How did you confirm that Miss Rena Minami was the only one on this floor at that time?"

"Of course it was the camera at the time of the incident." The Mumu police department explained: "The camera shows that during the time when the deceased died, no one took the elevator to leave, and no one took the elevator to enter."

"Is there only the elevator entrance? What about the stairway and the fire escape? What is the content of the monitor there?"

"That's right! I almost forgot." Mumu Police Department looked at the security personnel in charge of the monitor: "You showed me the surveillance video at the elevator entrance, what about the one at the stairway?"

The security guard smiled awkwardly and said no.

"What?" Mumu Police Department was angry: "How could it not be, shouldn't the TV station install monitors at all entrances and exits?"

The security staff quickly explained that they had been updating the monitors in the past few days, but something went wrong. The monitors were only installed at the elevator entrance and then stopped working, so there were no monitors in other places for the time being.

"In this case, is it possible that the murderer is an outsider, he came in through the stairs from the outside, and left through the stairs after the murder?" Mori Kogoro suddenly thought.

"It can't be an outsider!" The security staff said: "Although there are no surveillance cameras, all doors here must be opened with employee ID cards."

"The murderer must be someone from the TV station, because only they know that there is no surveillance camera on the other side of the stairs." Kazuto Jintian added.

Mumu Police Department pondered: "But the range of suspects is still very large, and since there is such a routine, the murder weapon may have been thrown far away!"

"This is not possible, because there are surveillance cameras at the gate. From the time of the incident to the present, because of the police's blockade, only people can enter and no one can exit," the security officer said.

"But no matter what, those of us waiting on the first floor are not suspected..."

"That's not necessarily true!" Kindaichiji said, "Those of us on the first floor may also belong to the murderer!"

"Why do you say that, Brother Kindaichi?"

"Think about it, everyone, why do we determine that the time of death of the deceased is from 09:30 to [-]:[-]?"

"That's because Mr. Takashi Matsuo said that he spoke with Michihiko Suwa at [-]:[-]... Ah, don't tell me!"

"That's right, this is just one-sided words of Mr. Takashi Matsuo, who can prove that he is not lying?"

"Mr. Takashi Matsuo..." Everyone's eyes turned to him.

Takashi Matsuo finally stopped his tears at this time, and said with an aggrieved face: "I didn't lie, I was really talking to Suwa, didn't you also see the situation of the big brother at that time!"

"But after killing Mr. Suwa, you can call Mr. Suwa's big brother on the spot, keep the phone on, and then pretend to call in front of us, and then pretend that you forgot to hang up. It looks broken!" said Kindaichiji.

"Didn't you also talk to Mr. Suwa at the door at 5:[-], and I met you on the first floor less than [-] minutes later. The scene here is full of shooting and fighting. It is impossible to kill Suwa-san in such a short time!"

"Mr. Takashi Matsuo... you are very good at imitating other people's voices!" Kaneda asked.

"You... how do you know!" Takashi Matsuo looked surprised.

Of course I know, because Kindaichiji used the skill 【Knowing People with Wisdom Eyes】.
