My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 876 No, This is a Murder Case

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned when she heard this: "Is this true?"

Suzuki Sonoko ignored the man's words that he liked Kotonami Aoi and said with a happy face.

"Yes." Sera Masumi then tilted her head and smiled at Conan: "Thank you for what happened just now, little friend."

Because Aoki Matsu pointed out that Sera Masumi was a girl, Conan was no longer jealous of her and responded, "You're welcome."

Soon the bus arrived at the station.

Everyone got off the bus and headed to Beihu Hotel.

"Hey!" Sera Masumi looked at the front desk in shock and asked, "No rooms left? How could this happen? I clearly made a reservation in advance."

The receptionist said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. It was our negligence that we didn't explain it clearly to you at the time."

Conan saw this and thought to himself, "It seems that he is coming to this hotel, so he is not fooling us."

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi frowned and asked, "So, are there any other empty rooms?"

The receptionist immediately stammered, "Well... because our annex is currently undergoing renovations, there are relatively few rooms and they are all fully booked..."

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi said angrily, "Can't you help me think of a solution?"

At this time, Conan said to Mao Lilan: "Let's go eat cake quickly, I'm starving..."

"That's true. I'm starving too." Yuan Tai said, touching his big belly.

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at the little ones and Shinname Kaori, Mao Lilan, and Suzuki Sonoko and said, "Then let's go."

The group then turned and left.

Suzuki Sonoko immediately said to Mao Lilan: "But she is really beautiful, right? You can't tell she is a girl at all. And she is even better than Xiaolan."

"Yeah!" Mao Lilan replied.

"Brother Aoki, how did you know she was a girl? I can't tell at all!" Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously.

Aoki Matsu smiled mysteriously when he heard this and said, "I rely on my intuition."

"Ah!" Suzuki Sonoko was stunned, and Conan, who was preparing to eavesdrop on the "knowledge points", was also stunned.

"Can you tell whether it's a boy or a girl by intuition?" Mitsuhiko was dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this, Shinname Kaori glanced at Aoki Matsu and said, "Matsu-kun, then stop teasing them."

Aoki Matsu shrugged and said with a smile: "Actually, I have seen her news reports. Her name is Sera Masumi, and she is a well-known female detective in the United States. Because she is a detective, she thinks it is more convenient to dress like a boy."

"So that's it." Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized.

Conan and everyone else also suddenly realized.

It turns out that it’s not that they are incompetent, but that Aoki is cheating!

Suzuki Sonoko then said, "If she fights against that Ah Zhen, whose karate is better?"

Conan corrected her, "Sonoko, that's not karate. It's called Jeet Kune Do, which is a martial art that movie martial arts superstar Bruce Lee combined with many different techniques such as Western boxing, judo, wrestling, French boxing, Aikido, etc. into the Kung Fu he learned when he was a child. Sometimes it also attacks the eyes or throat and other vital parts. It is said to be a very powerful martial art."

Suzuki Sonoko complained after hearing this: "You are still the same kid, always knowing some weird things."

Mao Lilan looked around and said, "Let's not talk about that. Where is that restaurant? Why did you come to such a remote place?"

Suzuki Sonoko checked her phone. "Hmm? Let me take a look... According to the internet, it seems to be in the cafe on the second floor of the hotel."

Qing Musong heard this and said, "Then let's go up to the second floor first. There is an elevator over there that can take us upstairs."

Seeing this, the little ones ran towards the elevator first, and the elevator door opened just in time.

A middle-aged woman came out of the elevator and asked, "Ah, where are you going, kid?"

Conan replied, "We're going to the all-you-can-eat cake restaurant on the second floor."

The middle-aged woman said, "Well, you can't get there by taking this elevator. This is the elevator to the annex."

【Annex! 】

Conan was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered what the receptionist had just said.

[Didn't the front desk say that the annex is under renovation? ]

Mao Lilan quickly thanked him: "Thank you for telling us about this."

"Don't say that. It's only natural to help each other when we encounter difficulties." The middle-aged woman said with a smile.

At this time, a man stood up in the waiting area and shouted to the middle-aged woman, "Ms. Zhuchuan."

Seeing this, Hirukawa Riko responded, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The man asked, "How is he now?"

Hirukawa Riko replied, "At first, she was drunk as usual and yelled at me. But after I scolded her harshly, she started crying."

The fat woman who was walking with the man was very surprised when she heard this and said, "Crying...crying?!"

Hirukawa Riko replied, "Yes, he said that when he sobers up, he will confess his crime and apologize to everyone in person, and he wants us to go to his room."

The man quickly asked, "Is this true?"

The fat woman also said, "But, is he just saying this to deal with us? He just said it casually to get rid of us."

The man immediately thought that what the fat woman said made sense. "That's true. If we question him again later, he might say that he doesn't remember saying such things to us."

Hirukawa Riko said, "In that case, how about recording his confession? That way, we can play it for other victims later."

The two of them hesitated after hearing this.

The fat woman said, "But I don't have anything with me that can record."

The man followed suit and said, “Me neither.”

Hirukawa Riko suggested, "Why don't we take my car and go out and buy a tape recorder? He said it would take him a while to sober up, so I think we should be able to find an electronics store nearby."

The fat woman smiled and agreed, "That's fine."

Then both parties turned a corner and the conversation could no longer be heard.

Soon Aoki Matsu and his group arrived at the cake shop.

Then I saw the customers queuing from upstairs to downstairs, and there was no end in sight at a glance.

Suzuki Sonoko was surprised when she saw this and said, "No way, we can't enter the all-you-can-eat cake restaurant anymore?"

The clerk said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, because there are many more customers than originally expected, the number of cakes is not enough..."

Suzuki Sonoko complained, "If you want to give people all-you-can-eat cakes, you should prepare a lot of cakes in advance! A lot! A lot!"

"That's right!" Yuan Tai also complained, "We made this trip in vain!"

"Oh, how annoying." Sayuri also said, "I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Just as the clerk was still trying to apologize with a smile, there was a "bang".

Everyone was stunned.

Mao Lilan said weakly: "What was that sound just now?"

The clerk said uncertainly, "Parking lot?"

Then a woman's scream pierced the sky, "Ah!!!"

Hearing the sound, Aoki Matsu immediately realized that a case had occurred, and then saw Conan running away.

Mao Lilan subconsciously looked at Conan's back and said, "Wait a minute!"

"I have a bad feeling, I'll go and take a look too," said Aoki Matsu.

Not only Aoki Matsu, but also several little ones and Shinna Kaori, Mao Li Ran, and Suzuki Sonoko all ran to the parking lot.

"No, it's terrible."

"Call an ambulance!"

Qing Musong asked quickly: "What happened?"

When he ran over and took a look, he immediately reacted.

A man was found dead on the ground, apparently having jumped from a building.

Hirukawa Riko said tremblingly: "Just now, when I was reversing, this person suddenly came from above..."

After the initial panic, the fat lady saw the person falling from the building clearly and said in panic: "This, this person, isn't it him?"

"Really? It's upstairs." The man also said.

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu walked forward, stretched out his hand and pressed Mr. Kamijuma's neck. After a few seconds, he shook his head and said, "He's dead."

At this time, Hirukawa Toshiko suddenly pointed at the roof and said, "Look, who is that?! Just now, there was a suspicious figure on the roof!"

Everyone looked up at the roof, but saw nothing. It seemed that the suspicious person had run away.

Seeing this, Conan quickly asked: "Do you still remember what that person looks like?"

Hirukawa Riko replied: "I... I have seen that dress, maybe it belongs to someone I know..."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu immediately said, "Kano, call the police immediately, and then monitor this place with Xiaolan and Sonoko. I will go to the roof with these people and the security guard to take a look."

"Ah!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

The fat woman asked, "Who are you?"

Command them here.

Aoki Matsu took out the criminal certificate that he had prepared when he knew he was going out to eat with Conan and said, "Criminal."

The few of them stopped talking and followed Aoki Matsu's instructions.

Afterwards, Hirukawa Riko and the other two followed Aoki Matsu and Conan, who had sneaked in at some point, and went to the rooftop.

When we reached the highest floor, the elevator door actually opened from the opposite side.

It turns out that this elevator has a door at the front and back.

After everyone came out.

However, Hirukawa Riko was reluctant to leave the elevator.

The fat woman turned around and asked, "Why don't you come out, Ms. Hirukawa?"

"Can you, let me stay here?" Hirukawa Riko said nervously and fearfully, "I feel so scared."

"No way!" The man refused, "It was Ms. Zhuchuan who saw that person first."

"Ah!" Hirukawa Riko made a helpless expression and walked out after hearing that.

"Wait!" Aoki Song grabbed the elevator with his hands, looked at Hirukawa Riko with sharp eyes and said, "What did you just do!?"

After seeing the man falling from the building, Aoki Matsu remembered this case. After all, it was the case in which he met Sera Masumi, so he still had an impression of it.

It’s just that Aoki Matsu didn’t have a very good impression of Sera Masumi, so he went to complain about Sera Masumi and didn’t think of her the first time.

Moreover, even if he remembered, he couldn't stop Hirukawa Toshiko from avenging her parents, because she had already arranged all the traps. The other party's traps were very clever, and it can be said that there was no way to convict her until the second before the victim fell from the building.

Besides, when it comes to revenge for parents, Qing Musong can stop it once, but he can’t stop it a second time.

Although Aoki Matsu sympathized with the other party's situation, the other party did kill someone, so Aoki Matsu still had to catch him.

"I, I didn't do anything!" Hirukawa Riko said a little panicked.

Qing Mu Song didn't listen to her at all. He walked into the elevator and looked at the control buttons. He found that Hirukawa Riko pressed the buttons for the 2nd and 6th floors. He immediately looked at Hirukawa Riko and asked, "What's on the 2nd and 6th floors? Why did you press the buttons for these two floors?"

"No, I just bumped into it by accident." Hirukawa Riko said with cold sweat.

"There is nothing accidental at the murder scene. Mr. Security, please press the elevator button and let the elevator stop here. Let the property management stop the elevator here." Aoki Matsu ordered.

The guard quickly responded: "Yes!"

Then Aoki Song led a few people to open the door to the top floor. No one was seen, but there was a coat placed on the wall, and a pair of sneakers on the coat.

"The shoes are placed on top of the coat!" Aoki Matsu raised his eyebrows.

This is the classic Japanese ritual of committing suicide by jumping off a building.

Well, anyway, Aoki Matsu thinks it is a ritual.

The man guessed, "Yes, was it suicide?"

The fat lady frowned when she heard this and said, "So, who was the figure that Ms. Zhuchuan saw?"

"Maybe it was because the coat was blown up by the wind that I misjudged him." Hirukawa Riko said, "It's all my fault. I said those words and pushed him into a desperate situation."

"No, this is a homicide case, and Ms. Hirukawa, you are a major suspect." Aoki Matsu looked at Hirukawa Toshiko and said.

"You, you said I am still a suspect in a murder case?" Hirukawa Riko trembled.

The fat lady was a little skeptical when she heard this and asked, "Did you see with your own eyes that Ms. Zhuchuan pushed that person down from here? She was with us at the time!"

"Of course I didn't see her push the victim down, otherwise I wouldn't have said she was a suspect and would have arrested her directly. I just heard the conversation between the three of you, and you said that the victim seemed to be very drunk." Aoki Matsu said.

"But, but, why do you say it wasn't suicide?" asked the fat woman.

The man also pointed at his coat and shoes and said, "Look, the shoes are all neatly arranged."

"The problem is that the shoes were arranged neatly. As I said just now, the victim seemed to be very drunk. When he was very drunk, how could he remember to put his coat and shoes in order before committing suicide? Even if he remembered, do you think he could arrange his shoes so neatly?" Aoki Matsu explained.

"And this so-called classic suicide ritual is actually not common in real life. People just jump off the roof. This ritual is very influential in literary and film works. Just putting shoes neatly on the roof is suicide, which makes it easy for the audience to know that the person is dead."
