"According to this, Mr. Muraki borrowed the elevator by himself."

Officer Megure withdrew his gaze from Kudo Shinichi, and looked thoughtfully at Muraki Ryuichi who was standing on the left of Tamanosuke Ito.

"Correct."

Muraki Ryuichi looked at Police Officer Megure, and replied calmly:

"Because he was the only staff member who came to watch the troupe's rehearsal today, and he had other things to do, so I boarded the elevator alone."

As soon as the words fell, Muraki Ryuichi Furui looked at the staff on the left without a wave.

The staff member was taken aback for a moment, then quickly looked at Police Officer Mu Mu, and said sincerely:

"He's right."

At the same time, Dongfang Haoyue looked ahead and thought calmly in her heart:

"The prisoner killed Mr. Jinshi and stole the disk, hid the disk and returned to the stage...

Speaking of disks, it's better to ask police officer Megure to find them for you. "

Dongfang Haoyue thought up to this point, looked at Police Officer Mu Mu, and innocently reminded:

"Officer Meguro~

The floppy disk that Uncle Jinshi put on the wooden table is gone, hurry up and send someone to find the floppy disk!

Maybe the information stored in the disk can help the police find clues~! "

"You mean... the criminal stole the disk containing key information?!"

Police officer Mu Mu was surprised for a moment, then turned to look at the four police officers farther in front of the right, and ordered solemnly:

"Search the Mihua Theater immediately, be sure to find the disk!"

"Yes!"

The police officers looked at Officer Mu Mu, saluted one after another, and quickly ran to every corner of the Mihua Theater.

During this period, Kudo Shinichi carefully observed the reactions of the five members of the troupe without saying a word, fixed his eyes on Tamanosuke Ito, whose handsome face was disturbed, and thought calmly in his heart:

"Why did the prisoner hide the disk?

Could it be... someone else stole the disk?

Or, whoever stole the disk wanted to use it as a cover for a murderer.

but......

Since someone deliberately stole the disk that stored the script, the culprit was probably one of them. "

--------

the next day.

A hotel near the Mihua Theater.

The group of six elementary school students stayed in the hotel room, sitting around the wooden table, idly watching the morning news on the TV screen on the wooden cabinet in front of them.

The host in the news was wearing a brown jacket with a white lining, holding the microphone in his right hand, and holding the press release in his left hand in front of his left chest, broadcasting the report seriously:

"Last night, Tiefu Jinshi was unfortunately killed.

At present, the members of the traveling troupe he works for are boarding in the hotel behind the reporter, and the head of the troupe is being interrogated in the Metropolitan Police Department. "

"Crack."

It was the sound of Kei Ito pressing the remote control and turning off the TV.

She knelt on the square cushion opposite the TV set across the wooden table, with her back to the door of the room, put down the remote control on the wooden table, closed her eyes, and muttered sullenly:

"It doesn't look good."

The other five elementary school students who were kneeling on the cushions heard this and looked at Kei Ito, trying to appease her.

"Xiaohui!"

Shirai Yuri opened the door of the room, pressed the door frame on the right side of her waist with her right hand, and held the doorknob with her left hand. Looking at Kei Ito, she said happily:

"Your brother is back~!"

"Great!!"

Yi Donghui stood up quickly, turned around and rushed out of the room, went straight to the stairs, and ran down the stairs with eager steps.

Yuri Shirai and Ogiwara Itoe, who lived in the next room, heard the noise and opened the door to check the situation, hurriedly caught up with Xiaohui, fearing that Xiaohui would fall down the stairs.

"go!"

The group of five elementary school students stood up at the same time, and quickly caught up with Shirai Yuri and Ogiwara Itoe.

--------

Seven seconds later.

first floor.

Ito Kei rushed to Ito Tamanosuke who had just stepped out of the entrance on the first floor, and shouted with joy, concern and concern:

"elder brother!!!"

"Captain, do you feel any discomfort?"

Shirai Yuri walked to Tamanosuke Ito one and a half meters away, and looked at Tamanosuke with concern.

"Fortunately."

Tamanosuke Ito touched Kei Ito's head, looked at Yuri Shirai, smiled reluctantly and comforted:

"I am in good health and have no problems."

"Leader, don't push yourself too hard!"

Standing on the left side of Tamanosuke Ito, Kenzo Tajima supported Tamanosuke's left shoulder with his left hand, looked at Tamanosuke eagerly, and revealed with concern:

"You didn't sleep at all last night!"

"elder brother......"

Ito Kei looked up at Ito Tamanosuke, her lovely face was full of worry.

At this time, the middle-aged hotel owner standing in front of Tamanosuke Ito, wearing a gray coat, white lining, and only short hair remaining behind his head, looked at Tamanosuke and said with a kind smile:

"Tonight, you can sleep well."

"Tamanosuke, you just treat this as your own home."

A middle-aged woman wearing a white apron, blue lining, and curly hair reaching her shoulders stood on the right side of the hotel owner, looking at Tamanosuke Ito friendly.

"sorry."

Tamanosuke Ito turned to look at the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman, bowed slightly, closed his eyes, and said remorsefully:

"I'm the one who put you in trouble and got your hotel linked to a murder on the news...I'm really sorry."

"no problem, no problem!"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily and said:

"Your father and I are old friends. Nothing can compare to my friendship with him."

--------

The bright moon shines.

In the sky outside the hotel, in the dark clouds.

"Aren't we too late?"

Dongfang Haoyue, who was holding Kudo Shinichi in his right hand, was suspended in the dark clouds. He withdrew his gaze from observing the hotel gate through the gap in the clouds, turned his head to look at Shinichi, and complained with a headache:

"It's really nerve-wracking... Xiaolan came here to help us with our homework..."

"Ah...we played the role of ignorant first-grade elementary school students for two full hours..."

Kudo Shinichi sighed softly, glanced at Dongfang Haoyue melancholy, continued to observe the hotel gate through the gap in the clouds, and said helplessly:

"I've thought about it for a long time, but it's still difficult to determine who the prisoner is. I can only bring Haoyue to monitor the hotel at night to see if the prisoner has any next moves."

"Well...the five members of the troupe all have the chance to kill Tefu Konishi."

Dongfang Haoyue looked up at the dark cloud ceiling, and said sadly:

"After testing...the murder weapon did not have any fingerprints, and the same is true of Shi Tiefu's computer.

Although the police found the disk lost by Kinishi in the trash can of Ito Tamanosuke's room, the data on the disk was gone, so it was obviously impossible to lock the prisoner. "

"Look at it!!"

Kudo Shinichi clenched Dongfang Haoyue's left hand, stared intently at Tamanosuke Ito who stepped out of the hotel door with his hands in his pockets, and walked a little hurriedly, and eagerly reminded in a low voice:

"Tamanosuke Ito is here!

Wait, is that...? "
