My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 819: The Secret Room Murder Case

"So, Mr. Fa Yue has a motive to kill." Aoki Matsu said.

"Yes." Maruta Ayumi said, "Inspector Nakamori revealed that this fraud group had a member named Mogi Takashi who defrauded Hozuki Mitsuki of a large sum of pension money, causing Hozuki Mitsuki to die of illness."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong immediately asked, "Has this Mao Mu Long been arrested?"

"No." Maruta Ayumi shook his head. "Section 2 is looking for him."

Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. Maruta will take people to follow Mr. Hozuki Tokuma for two days. Aihara, go to Beika Station and ask what time Mr. Hozuki Tokuma took the subway to Beika Station yesterday. Then go to the station and check the time Mr. Hozuki Tokuma left Beika Station on his train card. If the system doesn't have it, then check yesterday's train ticket."

In Neon, people over 70 years old can apply for a senior transportation card, which costs 1000 yen per year. Holders of this card can ride freely on the subway and buses in Tokyo.

Fayuedema is 75 years old, so he can apply for a senior citizen transportation card.

This senior citizen transportation card is a real-name system and can be queried through the system.

However, if Fayuedema was the murderer, in order not to leave any traces, he might not use his senior citizen transportation card but choose to buy a ticket.

As for why Maruta Ayumi was asked to follow Hozuki Tokuma.

Mainly because of science!

There is a criminal who has not been arrested and is still wanted. According to Science, the Avengers can always find the criminal before the police with the help of Science and kill him.

"Yes!" Maruta Ayumi and Aihara Yoji responded.

Not long after, Yoji Aihara called from Beika Station.

"Inspector, I checked at Beika Station and found that the train arrived at Beika Station at 14:13, but Mr. Hozuki's ticket record showed that he entered from Natsuhabara Station at 35:14 and left from Beika Station at 15:15." Aihara Yoji said, "There is a time difference of minutes."

"That is to say, Mr. Fa Yue got off the bus halfway and is very likely the murderer," said Aoki Matsu.

"But Inspector, there is no record of Mr. Houzuki getting on or off at Sugumi Station in his bus card?" said Yoji Aihara.

Qing Musong heard this and said, "Think about it, if you want to get off at Chaogui Station, but don't want to have a record on your bus card, what would you do?"

Compared with Saito Kazuma and Maruta Ayumi, Aihara Yoji is a little dumber, mainly because his brain is not as active as Takagi Wataru, Maruta Ayumi and others.

Thinking of this, Aoki Matsu suddenly thought of Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was preparing for the exam, and he was really looking forward to Nanatsuki Koshimizu's arrival.

After a while, Aihara Yoji replied: "Tickets?!"

"Yes, it's the train ticket!" Then Aoki Matsu ordered: "Aihara, go to Suogui Station and check the tickets around 14: to see if there are Mr. Hozuki's fingerprints on them."

"Yes!" replied Aihara Yoji.

Because it takes a lot of time to compare fingerprints, it was not until the evening that the forensic department was able to compare and confirm that there was a ticket with Mr. Fa Yue's fingerprint printed on it at Chaogui Station, which was used to swipe out of the station at 14 p.m.

Aoki Matsu had just received the news when Maruta Ayumi, who was tracking and monitoring Hozuki Tokuma, called and said that Hozuki Tokuma suddenly went out in the middle of the night, and his destination was exactly the place where Kanemura Tsuneo was killed.

By the time Aoki Matsu arrived at the scene, Maruta Ayumi had already captured both Hozuki Tokuma and Mogi Takashi.

As expected, with the help of the Science Grim Reaper, Hozuki Dema found Mogi Takashi before the police and wanted to kill him.

The purpose is to avenge his wife, Hozuki Mizuki.

Then he was caught by Maruta Ayumi.

There is nothing much to say about revenge for one's wife.

"Well done!" Aoki Matsu praised.

"No, it's all thanks to your good leadership, Inspector." Maruta Ayumi said with a smile.

The case was then handed over by Aoki Matsu to Maruta Ayumi.

Tokyo has been quiet recently because Conan has been traveling to Gunma Prefecture and has no time to shine his Death Halo in Tokyo.

But Aoki Matsu didn't expect that Conan would soon give him a big one - a locked room murder case!

Here's the thing.

Kogoro Mouri took Ran Mouri and Conan out for a drive, but they got lost in the wild and it was already night.

Conan saw Maori Kogoro observing his surroundings with gritted teeth on his face, and guessed something. So, relying on the fact that he was sitting in the back seat, he said bluntly: "You are lost again, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I know which direction it is!" Kogoro Mori said shyly.

Conan thought to himself angrily, "I just said that we should turn left."

At this moment, Mao Lilan suddenly saw a light beside the forest road. When she looked closely, she found that it was a big villa.

"Ah, there's a house!" Mao Lilan said happily, pointing to the big villa.

"What!" Maori Kogoro was also very happy. "We are saved!"

Conan also looked over quickly.

Afterwards, Kogoro Mouri drove to the big villa, parked the car, and knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Maori Kogoro knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Excuse me..."

A few minutes later, the door opened.

The three Maori people were very happy when they saw the door open.

Maori Kogoro immediately said: "Sorry, we got lost...ah!"

When they saw who opened the door, the Maori trio were shocked.

I saw that the other person was wearing a long black cloak with a hood, and the hood covered his eyes. In addition, he had no expression at all, and looked very much like - the Grim Reaper!

And not one.

The Maori trio looked into the room and saw several people dressed identically, looking very much like a cult gathering.

Although the Japanese government has not reported this publicly, in fact, cults in Japan are very rampant.

Not only were these people dressed strangely, but there were no lights on, which made it even more eerie.

Kogoro Mouri was so scared that he shouted "Xiao Ran." and then subconsciously protected Mouri Ran behind him.

Just when the Maori trio was frightened, suddenly a surprised voice came from inside, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Maori?"

As he spoke, a man wearing glasses came forward, took off his hat, looked at Kogoro Mouri with surprise, and laughed.

"Ah, ah, you are..." Kogoro Mouri felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember his name.

Fortunately, Mao Lilan was very helpful. "You are Mr. Yagawa from Nichimi TV."

"Yes, please come in." said Hiroji Yagawa.

With an acquaintance in hand, and after confirming that these were human beings and not ghosts, the Maori trio dared to go in.

After entering the villa, someone turned on all the lights in the villa, and these people also took off their hats, revealing their true faces, which were not so scary.

"This is the famous detective Maori Kogoro." The gentleman who opened the door just now said, "I'm sorry to have scared you just now."

Yagawa Hiroshi introduced the Maori trio, "This is the manga artist Hirasaka Reiki-san."

After hearing what Yagawa Hiroshi said, Mao Lilan immediately smiled and said, "Could it be that he is the author of "Black Magician Girl"? Many female classmates in our class are reading it."

Although he is a boy, Hirasaka Reiki, who has long hair and a more delicate appearance than the average girl, smiled and said, "It's an honor, miss."

But Maori Kogoro had never heard of it, so he asked, "What? What is Black Magic Girl?"

Yagawa Hiroshi said with a smile: "This is Mr. Hirasaka's masterpiece, and it is praised as the best masterpiece of supernatural comics!"

A woman with curly hair next to her said with a smile: "The content describes: the protagonist becomes a witch in the world of death and is reborn to seek revenge."

Yagawa Hiroshi then introduced: "This is Ms. Utakura Akiko, a future star of gravure idol."

The so-called photo idols are not just models, but refer to women who take large-scale photo shoots like the cover of Playboy magazine.

People in the world call her: Welfare Ji!

Upon hearing this, Akiko Utakura immediately smiled and said, "I'm about to debut, so please give me your guidance."

At this time, Conan saw that the conversation was not getting to the point, so he couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Mr. Yagawa, what kind of party is this today?"

"That's right, even Mr. Yagawa is dressed like this." Mao Lilan asked curiously.

Yagawa Hiroshi said with a smile: "This is..."

"We have a séance scheduled tonight," Hirasaka Reiki interrupted.

"Summoning, summoning of spirits!" Mao Lilan was a little scared.

What she fears most is ghosts.

Maori Kogoro frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "Is it a ceremony to summon the souls of the dead?"

Hirasaka Reiki raised the corner of his mouth and said affirmatively: "That's it!"

Mao Lilan was even more frightened after hearing this. "Death, the soul of the dead refers to..."

"It's our idol, Miss Yayuan Huang!" another man wearing glasses suddenly interrupted.

"Ms. Masahara Akira?" Kogoro Mouri was confused.

Who is it!?

Mao Lilan also knows this.

"It seems to be the one who was originally scheduled to star in the movie "Maleficent"..."

"It was originally scheduled!" Conan frowned when he heard it and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Yagawa Hiroshi said in a somewhat depressed mood: "He passed away in an accident a year ago, and the filming of the movie was interrupted as a result."

The man with glasses who had just spoken took out a figurine of the main character from "Maleficent" and said with a sigh, "If that hadn't happened, she would have been a super popular idol now." He then hugged the figurine and cried, "Xiao Huang, why did you die? Wuuuuu..."

"Who is this guy!?" Kogoro Mori looked at Hiroji Yagawa and asked.

"He is the president of Miss Mahara Huang's fan club." Yagawa Hiroshi introduced: "The doll creator, Mr. Kaoruto."

So it’s not surprising that this behavior occurs.

Japanese otaku fans are very loyal and crazy.

"Could it be that Mr. Yagawa is also a fan of Ms. Mahara Akira?" Conan looked at Yagawa Hiroji and asked.

Hiroji Yagawa answered as a matter of course: "Of course, I'm a member of the fan club. Number 11." As he said this, he took out his membership card.

"Are the others the same?" Kogoro Mouri asked, looking at the others.

One of the men stepped forward and showed his membership card and said, "I'm Park Zhimu Kazuo, member number 8. By the way, I'm a doctor."

A short-haired girl next to her introduced herself: "I'm Maho Izumi, and my member number is 120." She also had a membership card.

Akiko Utakura also showed her membership card, "I'm number 53."

Another handsome guy also introduced himself, "I'm photographer Ryuichi Mifune, please give me your advice."

Seeing that the other party did not tell him his membership number or show his membership card, Maori Kogoro subconsciously asked, "What is your membership number..."

"Sorry, I'm not a member." said Ryuichi Mifune.

At this time, Akiko Utakura, who was somewhat lively, said, "Mr. Mifune is the exclusive photographer of the cosplay store."

"Role-playing store?" Conan asked in confusion, what is that?

"It's a store in Akihabara that sells and rents costumes and props for role playing." Mifune Ryuichi replied, "In the store, there is also a place for customers to take photos, and I work as a photographer there."

Hiroshi Yagawa said with a smile: "Xiao Huang was originally an internet idol who started out as a cosplayer. Later, because the photos he posted on the store's webpage and cosplay websites became a hot topic, he debuted as a photo idol."

Park Nogi Kazuo interrupted and introduced: "Later, she was spotted by Hirasaka-sensei and selected to become the protagonist of "Black Magic Girls."

Hirasaka Reiki said: "The protagonist of "Black Magic Girl" is also named 'Xiao Huang'. I think there is no actress more suitable than her, so it's a pity."

Speaking of this, everyone was very sad.

"Miss Xiao Huang."

But Conan, a straight man, couldn't understand and broke the sad atmosphere by asking, "Why did you think of holding a séance here?"

Yagawa Hiroshi said, "It's because a strange rumor has been circulating among the members of Miss Xiaohuang's fan club recently."

"Rumors?" Mao Lilan suddenly felt uneasy.

"Some fans who originally admired Xiaohuang became fans of other people, and then either got hurt or suddenly fell ill," said Hiroshi Yagawa.

Upon hearing this, Ke Erfeng immediately put down the figurine in his hand and said with some relief: "That is the punishment for betraying Xiao Huang. It is a natural retribution."

Upon hearing this, Yagawa Hiroshi quickly pushed Ke Erfeng aside. This kind of statement was really...

"The internet also said it was Xiao Huang's curse." Yagawa Hiroshi continued, "It caused a big commotion."

"Curse!" said Kogoro Mori calmly.

He didn't believe it at all. His intuition told him that someone was playing tricks, so he was not afraid at all.
