The Advent of the Infinite King

"I wrote it together with Mr. Tomo Imatake."

"Today is also the two of us coming here together, because he won the Naomoto Award. To celebrate, we plan to drink and drink all night."

Speaking of this, Shi Jingxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his suit again, and said in a low voice, "It's so hot..."

Seeing this, Xie Chen muttered softly, "If it's hot, take off your coat..."

Shi Jingxuan went to a shop and said, "It's not bad around here, can I trouble you to take two or three more pictures?"

"Okay." Mao Lilan agreed with a smile.

Just as she took the camera and was about to press the shutter, a tall man with a coral-like hairstyle walked over.

"You are Mr. Sei Shinichi, right?"

"Yes." Sei Shinichi said.

The coral man took out his police officer's ID and said, "I am a policeman from Saitama Prefecture. My surname is Henggou. I would like to ask you about the case of Mr. Tomo Imatake."

Sei Shinichi asked doubtfully, "Did something happen to Imatake?"

"He has been killed." Officer Henggou said in a deep voice, "It's in the hotel room where you stayed with him."

Shi Jingxuan opened his mouth and said nothing, Xie Chen frowned slightly, and Mao Lilan showed a surprised expression.

So, Sei Shinichi followed police officer Henggou to the scene of the crime, which was located in a hotel near the festival, and Mori Kogoro followed with Mao Lilan and Xie Chen.

"The murder weapon was a pistol."

In the room where the crime occurred, the police officers were taking pictures to collect evidence. Officer Henggou said: "The time of the crime was [-]:[-] or [-] in the evening. The criminal is a young man. There should be nothing wrong with escaping from this room after committing the crime."

The one who died was the man with glasses who had been shot before. The fat man outside the door said, "Yes, that's right. At that time, the TV just started broadcasting the ceremony."

Mori Kogoro squatted beside the corpse and said, "The bullet passed through the head beautifully."

"Hey, hello." Police officer Henggou found Kogoro Mouri and hurriedly said, "Who are you?"

Mori Kogoro stood up, straightened his clothes, looked at Police Officer Henggou out of the corner of his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a detective."

"Huh?" Police Officer Henggou exclaimed, and then said loudly: "If I'm not mistaken, you...you are the famous detective Mr. Mori Kogoro!"

"Yes..." Mori Kogoro was startled by Police Officer Henggou's loud voice, and subconsciously said, "Yes, Kogoro is me."

The pupils of Sei Shinichi who was standing aside shrank in vain.

Officer Henggou kept close to Mori Kogoro, and continued with adoring eyes: "You have solved many difficult cases. I often read reports about you in the newspaper, great man."

"Thank you so much..."

Xie Chen smiled slightly, but did not speak.

As if he had found a savior, police officer Henggou put his arms around Kogoro Mori and said, "Okay, then you can look at it as you like, and it will be used as a reference for our search, please."

Mori Kogoro coughed pretendingly, and when he lowered his head, he happened to see the wallet on the ground. When he picked it up, he found that there was not a single banknote in it, only two bank cards sandwiched in the wallet.

Afterwards, Mori Kogoro put down his wallet, looked at the white foam at the corner of Reaper's mouth and said, "What is this?"

Xie Chen picked up a little bit with his finger, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said, "Toothbrush powder."

Kogoro Maoli glared at Xie Chen, "You do this every time, this is a corpse, not something you, a brat, are interested in."

Officer Henggou came over and asked, "Have you found any clues, Detective Maori?"

Mori Kogoro pulled out a cigarette, put it to his lips, lit it, and said, "This looks like a robbery case."

"You said it was a robbery case?"

"Only banknotes were taken from the victim's wallet, and the criminal also made a mess of the room. He only committed this crime for money."

Police officer Henggou looked at Mori Kogoro without blinking as if he was listening to a teacher's lecture.

"Judging from the situation of the victim lying near the door, he probably heard someone knocking on the door, and was shot when he opened the door inadvertently."

"But Detective Maori." Officer Henggou said loudly, "Did you expect this to be the case?"

"kindness?"

"It looks like it's stolen on purpose, but it's actually in the same room..." Officer Henggou looked at Shinichi Sei who was standing at the door.

Shi Jingxuan's face changed drastically, and cold sweat flowed down his cheeks.

"Hey, don't be joking. The murder happened around eight o'clock. I have a complete alibi, because at the same time, I had already gone to see the celebration of the first night in the world."

Officer Henggou nodded, and Nobuichi Sei continued, "I also met Mr. Mori and the others there."

Mori Kogoro held a cigarette in his mouth and leaned on his chin and said, "Yes, but I met you in the second half of the festival."

"Really, I went there from the beginning." Shi Jingxuan took out his camera and said, "If you think I'm lying, just take this and develop it, it should be a proof that I'm not there. "

"Okay." Officer Henggou took the camera, handed it to his subordinates and said, "Take it and wash it immediately."

Looking at Xuanyi Shijing's appearance, Xie Chen frowned lightly. Officer Henggou was right. This was indeed not a case of theft, and the culprit was someone acquainted with the victim.

After about 10 minutes, all the photos in the camera were developed.

"Seven in total?" Officer Henggou looked at the photos and said, "However, which of these photos are alibi?"

Mao Lilan walked over, took the photo with the rabbit balloon and said, "This is a photo I took. You can see that Xie Chen's balloon is also included in the photo."
