Vest hunting system

Accompanied by three rhythmic knocks on the door, Toru Amuro's voice sounded: "Manager, are you resting?"

Edogawa Conan and Mori Ran trust Kashima Kiyoshi very much, but Amuro Toru always feels weird in his heart.

The three of them didn't wait long before the door of the room opened.

Different from the well-dressed appearance in the banquet hall, Kiyoshi Kashima took off his coat now, wearing only a loose shirt, his hair is also a little curly, and his voice is weak, very lazy: "What's wrong?"

The three saw Lu Daoqing's slightly pale face, and Mao Lilan showed concern: "Brother Qing, are you okay? You don't seem to be feeling well."

Kiyoshi Kashima shook his head and brushed his hair: "Aren't you guys playing down there? What happened?"

Toru Amuro observed his actions in the dark, but did not find a single flaw.

"It's such a store manager. A murder case of a vile nature happened in the lobby."

Toru Amuro explained the matter to him in a few simple sentences, and Kiyoshi Kashima said, "Okay, wait a minute for me to put on a coat."

Even if there is no alibi, there is no panic about being regarded as a suspect.

The group quickly returned to the banquet hall on the first floor. Among the many guests, the irrelevant people who were confirmed to be unsuspected have been invited to leave here and go to other places in the hotel to rest temporarily.

Apart from the police, only the Mori family, Amuro Toru, Kashima Shiro and two other suspects without alibi remained at the scene.

There are also the organizers of this event, the Suzuki family and the Atobe family.

Just as Kiyoshi Kashima walked over, before he had time to say hello to his younger brother, a lady who was wiping tears with a handkerchief became more emotional when she saw him, and rushed towards Kiyoshi Kashima with a ferocious expression.

"It's you! The murderer must be you!"

Mrs. Asashima involuntarily wanted to entangle him.

Kiyoshi Kashima tensed up, and subconsciously dodged Mrs. Asashima, whose eyes were red from crying, so that the low-grade fever buff added by the system was really useful, and his sudden dodging action made his face paler.

"Being a man requires evidence. Don't get too excited, madam."

Kiyoshi Kashima covered his mouth and coughed twice, his voice was a little weak, and he said flatly: "Madam, please be sorry, framing and slander is against the law."

Toru Amuro saw Kashima Kiyoshi's easy dodging movements. From the details, it can be seen that Kashima Kiyoshi is more alert than ordinary people, or in other words, the almost instantaneous avoidance reaction is abnormally more alert than ordinary people.

Toru Amuro watched Kashima Kiyoshi calmly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Mrs. Asashima failed to pounce on Kashima Kiyoshi to vent her emotions, but was made even sadder by Kashima Kiyoshi, and the tears that had finally stopped in her eyes flowed down again.

"I, I... woo woo, Ichiro woo woo."

She couldn't say anything else for a while, so she kept calling President Asashima's name repeatedly and cried.

Although it can be said that she and the deceased husband and wife were deeply in love, but...

Edogawa Conan's eyes turned into crescents: Hey, Mrs. Asashima, your reaction is too exaggerated.

Others feel more or less the same way.

But after all, her husband just died, so it would be too rude to say it.

Kogoro Mori went up to help Mrs. Asashima up. In the past, Kogoro Mori couldn't help but go up to tease the beautiful women in the past, but he was not frivolous when facing the young and beautiful Mrs. Asashima.

"Madam, please calm down first, we will definitely help find the murderer."

Immediately afterwards, Kogoro Mori changed the subject: "After all, there is me—the sleeping Kogoro Mori!"

The corner of Edogawa Conan's mouth twitched.

Really, he just said how could uncle be serious for 1 minute.

Edogawa Conan no longer paid attention to this side, took the opportunity to go to the corpse to seize the time to observe, and then went to the identification department personnel at the scene, and got a lot of clues in the name of "Mori Kogoro".

Mori Kogoro said that he was a little flustered: "The murderer will definitely be caught and brought to justice, so as to give Madam a comfort."

Mrs. Asashima's eyes widened, and she looked at Mori Kogoro in surprise: "Are you that famous detective! That's great."

After learning the identity of Mori Kogoro, she was obviously relieved, her mood stabilized, and she stopped crying.

Mu Mu Thirteen interrupted: "Sorry to bother you."

He looked serious: "Can I ask again why Mrs. Asashima accused Mr. Kashima of being a murderer as soon as he came over?"

Mrs. Qiandao's mood fluctuated immediately after she stabilized, her eyes were red, and she said aggrievedly: "Only him."

"Ichiro...my husband has never had any feuds. Whether it is work or life, he has a good reputation."

"Ichiro is a workaholic. He is basically a three-point line in the company. He has no bad hobbies. He treats his employees very well. Compared with other companies, he pays more employee benefits than other companies, and he gets along well with his subordinates. "

Wiping her tears, Mrs. Asashima went on to say: "Our husband and wife have a harmonious relationship. We have never quarreled after marriage. The people around me... I really can't think of anyone who would want to kill my husband."

The more she talked, the more tears flowed.

"As for this child...Kashima Kiyoshi, I still have some impressions. He and Ichiro once had an intersection, and that was five years ago."

"Seven years ago, not long after I was married to Ichiro, I happened to be involved in a car accident and my entire abdomen was seriously injured."

Mrs. Asashima lost her fertility in that car accident. Although she was rescued, she was always depressed because of the loss of fertility, and was afraid of being abandoned by her beloved husband.

Asajima Ichiro saw her melancholy, and instead of abandoning her, he told her frankly that he didn't care.

Mrs. Asashima choked up several times: "Ichiro said that he would never leave me for the rest of his life. He wanted to comfort me and give me a sense of security. After I got well, about five years ago, he had the opportunity to adopt a child." idea."

It's not a big secret that she can't have children. Everyone who should know about the car accident that year knows about it.

"Because I really hated seeing babies at the time, Ichiro searched for a long time to find a pair of brothers who were both reassuring and of the right age. The adoptive father of the brothers passed away unfortunately some time ago. We are not sure whether they will accept our new adoption. I think The best thing is to ask openly, if they agree, everyone will be happy, if the brothers don't agree, then we can subsidize them a sum of money, and forget it as a good relationship, and we will find a new child to adopt."

"The two brothers did not accept our adoption, but we saw that the two children liked them, so we have been supporting them with money. The two children are very close to Ichiro, and Ichiro basically goes back to visit them every month. Once. The first three times were fine, but I didn’t expect that when Ichiro went to see them for the fourth time, their attitude changed drastically, and they suddenly yelled at Ichiro inexplicably, and Ichiro was kicked by the older brother. There were many people around at that time I heard it all, and the two brothers even scolded Ichiro."

Mrs. Asashima has a deep memory of the only "white-eyed wolf" she encountered in her life, especially a pair of white-eyed wolves who are so righteous.

"That's right, those brothers are your Kashima brothers." After finishing speaking, she looked up at Kiyoshi Kashima with hatred in her eyes: "I still remember what you said at that time."

"You told my husband, don't let him appear in front of you, and you will kill him next time you see him."

Mrs. Asashima squeezed her handkerchief tightly: "At that time Ichiro didn't go to see you anymore because we were hurt by you. Who knew that we had no intention of meeting now, and you still hold grudges in your heart. The murderer is definitely you!"

After listening to Mrs. Asashima's story, others are still digesting the story.

Turn black and white.

But Kiyoshi Kashima resisted the urge to sneer.

Kashima Shiro, who was standing beside him, was unconvinced. After hearing Mrs. Asashima's narration, he couldn't hold back at such a young age, and immediately choked on the words.

"No, you are slandering me and my brother!"

Even the Mori family above their own coffee shop didn't know about their matter. Kashima's white eyes were bright and he was very firm: "Why do you want to adopt us, huh, Mrs. Asashima actually believed such words? Five years ago I couldn't believe it when I was so young."

"Could it be that President Asajima is a fool, and he wants to adopt me and my brother just because of a blind eye? You must know that my brother was 16 years old at the time, and he said it nicely when he first came to talk, why only adopt me?" The two of us, after he passed away, all the property of the Qiandao family will be ours, as long as someone with a clear mind can figure it out, there must be no peace of mind after talking about so many benefits."

Kashima showed sarcasm on his face, and couldn't help saying: "As for the funding Mrs. Asashima said, I don't know where your illusion came from. We have never received any assistance from you. You can check all of these. of."

Seeing that his younger brother was angry, Kiyoshi Kashima patted his head, took Kashima Shiro's words and continued: "Mrs. The purpose is not very simple."

"The reason I'm saying that is because his adoption request is outrageous."

Adoption request, President Asashima wanted to bring his nine-year-old younger brother Kashima Shiro with him to raise him, as a target, but in fact paving the way for his illegitimate son.

Since then, Kashima Kiyoshi will never be able to meet Kashima Bai, and he will sponsor him to study abroad, and it is best to settle down abroad.

That's what he said on the surface, but after seeing Kashima Kiyoshi's face, President Asashima has other dirty thoughts, anyway, he is not jealous of men and women.

"And he also threatened me that if we refused to accept the adoption, he would simply stop the coffee shop we depend on for survival, so I really want him to die."

"Fortunately, the subsequent threat was resolved."

Kiyoshi Kashima generously admitted his murderous intentions: "President Asashima's death is really a joy to me, but I'm sorry, I have an alibi."

Mrs. Asashima was stunned, she was as shocked as if she just knew these things: "No, it's impossible."

Kashima Qing asked whether she believed it or not: "Sometimes I'm actually curious. According to my basic understanding of him, with his ability, how did he become the president and continue to be the president until now, without any trouble for so many years. of?"

The yin and yang were all over, Kiyoshi Kashima ignored Mrs. Asashima, he turned to Sonoko Suzuki and said, "Miss Suzuki, I remember that there are cameras in every corridor of this hotel, right?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who was suddenly cueed, immediately reacted: "Yes, that's right, our surveillance is always on, and the entire corridor, including the stairway, can be seen."

Kashima Qing nodded, and said to Mumu Shisan: "From the time I stepped out of the elevator to entering the room, it took about 2 minutes to appear in the monitoring range, and the time to be caught by the elevator every time was about 5 minutes. .”

"On the way here, I heard from Conan and the others that the banquet hall was powered off for a while. If I want to go downstairs from the 31st floor to the banquet hall to complete a series of operations such as power outage, killing, and returning, the time I need If you take the elevator, it will take at least 10 minutes, and it will take a lot longer to go up and down the stairs."

Kiyoshi Kashima was unhurried and logical: "But the monitoring along the way and many people who saw me leaving early can give me evidence that I went back to the room to rest because I was not feeling well before the accident. The way down is either the elevator or the stairs, and all of these are monitored throughout the whole process."

Conan Edogawa and Toru Amuro also discovered this when they went upstairs to call someone. When they got out of the elevator, they unanimously ruled out the suspicion of Kiyoshi Kashima in their minds.

The time is too short, unless Kashima Kiyoshi can be found to go downstairs through other methods in the follow-up, otherwise his suspicion can basically be ruled out.

Because the New Tokyo Hotel just opened today, the Suzuki Group and the Atobe Group have jointly arranged a tight security deployment before that, fearing that someone would enter the hotel early to cause trouble, so the possibility that the murderer could arrive at the banquet hall in advance to arrange the props was basically ruled out .

Today, Kashima Kiyoshi arrived at the hotel with a group of people from Qingxue. He was a relatively late group of guests, and almost everyone at the scene arrived. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he did not do any unreasonable actions.

So from the very beginning, there was no possibility that Kiyoshi Kashima could kill President Asashima without being present in person.

After hearing this, Mrs. Asashima's legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up. It was Yamano's assistant who helped her up and led her to the chair.

Megushisan nodded repeatedly at what Kashima Kiyoshi said, because of Mori Kogoro, Megushisan and the circle of acquaintances around him knew each other, and emotionally speaking, Megussan didn't think Kashima Kiyoshi had Suspected of murder.

Of course, when handling the case, Mu Mu Shisan will not bring personal emotions: "In this way, you can indeed be ruled out of suspicion."

He didn't let go completely, and continued to ask routinely: "Is it convenient for you to tell me about your timeline?"

Kiyoshi Kashima nodded: "Around [-]:[-], I felt dizzy and my body was a little hot, so I went to the hotel room to get ready to rest."

"After telling Xiaolan and the others, I left. I swiped my card to enter the room around eight o'clock. At that time, my mind was even more dizzy and I just lay on the bed."

Kiyoshi Kashima tried hard to recall: "I was half asleep and half awake in the middle, and I was confused for a while before I heard a knock on the door."

Kashima Bai looked at his face, and couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his brother's forehead: "Brother, no wonder you feel dizzy and hot, your forehead is so hot, do you have a fever?"

Gao Mushe, who was standing by the side taking notes, paused, and Mu Mushisan said, "Have a fever? It's almost time to ask, you should take some medicine and rest first."

It’s okay that no one reminded him, Kashima Kiyoshi also felt a little uncomfortable when someone said that.

"System, didn't I just want a low fever buff?"

The system's answer is well-founded: "The air conditioner is turned on so low here, and you don't wear thick clothes. You didn't realize the sweat and you followed them down. If the air conditioner blows cold air again, isn't it normal for the low-grade fever to get worse?"

"Host, this is not an anti-world where a person can smash through several walls in a row without getting hurt."

Kashima Kiyoshi felt his head heavy now, felt the system's complaints and didn't want to refute back, he was temporarily taken by Kashima Bai to sit beside him to rest.

Mao Lilan came over with hot water: "Brother Qing, are you okay? Dad and the others are going to solve the case, you drink this first, and I'll buy you some medicine when I come back."

Kashima Kiyoshi talked a little too much just now, his mouth was a little thirsty, and he took the water: "Thank you Xiaolan."

His voice didn't fluctuate, but it was much weaker than before, and his weak appearance made people worry. Suzuki Sonoko simply waved his hand and asked the family's personal doctor to come to see the doctor.

Kashima Kiyoshi's fever made him get rid of the suspicion, which made Mrs. Asashima who was sitting at the other end even more dissatisfied. Even after hearing what the Kashima brothers said, she still believed that her husband was a good man and did not recognize Kashima. Qing said everything.

The timeline of Mrs. Asashima and Assistant Yamano has been finished a long time ago. Now everyone sits down and just waits for the results of the police investigation.

Conan Edogawa was lifted out from beside the white line of the corpse by Kogoro Mori's back collar.

Maori Kogoro said angrily: "Hey kid, what are you curious about at the scene of the crime, just obediently follow Xiaolan by my side."

After finishing speaking, after putting down Edogawa Conan with a big bag on his head, he also grabbed Edogawa Conan's ears as punishment.

"Conan—" Mao Lilan brought him over: "Really, how could he run around again."

Edogawa Conan lowered his head and showed his crescent eyes, smiled helplessly, then raised his head, and resumed his tone of a child: "Sister Xiaolan, I'm curious."

Mao Lilan saw that he had already been taught a lesson by Kogoro Mori, and sighed, and didn't pursue it further: "Don't go wandering around the scene of the crime next time, do you understand?"

"Yeah, I got it, sister Xiaolan!"

Edogawa Conan's glasses flashed for a moment, and his eyes were full of maturity full of disobedience.

He looked around the place he wanted to see in the entire banquet hall, and found many clues. He already had a suspect in his heart, but he has not found any key evidence yet.

But now he just needs to look at the switch, as long as he can observe that thing there, he can solve the case.

After handing Edogawa Conan to Mao Lilan's care, Mori Kogoro went back and continued to "assist" the police in solving the case. Mao Lilan was still worried about Kashima Kiyoshi. Together with Kashima Shiro, his attention would inevitably be drawn to Kashima Kiyoshi. Jiang One second, Togawa Conan promised to sit obediently and listen, but the next second he saw Mao Lilan pouring water for Kashima Kiyoshi and sneaking away.

The top floor of the banquet hall is very high, and there are one and a half floors of balconies around it. You can go up through the stairs on the left and right sides. The main switch of the banquet hall is hung above the left corner.

This half-floor space was originally a place for banquets. It was carefully arranged, and there was a long table on it with various small cakes on it. However, when the accident happened, Shiro Suzuki happened to be speaking, and everyone in that session They were all standing in the hall, and the guests who were originally on the half balcony all came down.

So at that time, there was no one near the electric switch, and only when it was almost before the speaking session, the people who went up had the opportunity to arrange the mechanism in advance, pull down the electric switch remotely while Shiro Suzuki was speaking, and complete the murder in the dark.

Conan Edogawa ran up cautiously, turning his head from time to time to see if Mao Lilan noticed that he had slipped away again.

At this time, he missed the days when Amuro Toru and him played together.

Really, didn't we promise to investigate the case?Where did that guy go now, I didn't see him in the entire lobby on the first floor.

Edogawa Conan buried doubts in his heart, and while no one noticed him, he ran towards the switch immediately after he got on the half balcony.

As a result, he miscalculated his current height.

Looking at the switch box specially designed to prevent children from touching it or affecting the beautiful design, Edogawa Conan missed Toru Amuro very much for the first time. At least if Toru Amuro was there, he would not have to think about reaching the switch anymore.

Forget it, I still don't want that guy Toru Amuro for the time being.

Even if he was alone, Edogawa Conan did not give up. He moved chairs around, stood unsteadily at the highest point, and opened the switch box——

There is a very small amount of black hair on the bottom of the switch box.

He put on his gloves, picked up a little bit of hair, and observed it carefully a few times, the glasses flashed a reflection,

He knows who the murderer is!

and many more.

Edogawa Conan suddenly had the conversation between Kashima Kiyoshi and Mrs. Asashima just now in his mind.

If President Asajima is really incapable, how did he keep letting go, and his company hasn't closed down yet?

There is probably something else behind it.

Edogawa Conan instinctively felt that something was wrong with this matter, but before he could think too much, he saw gin and vodka appearing in the outer hall.

Edogawa Conan's face darkened, very serious, he glanced in the direction of Mori Kogoro, the murderer's method of killing this time is not difficult.

Uncle should be able to analyze the murderer himself... right?

Edogawa Conan did not hesitate, and decisively followed in the direction of gin and vodka.

It is rare to see a black organization, Edogawa Conan can't miss it.

Maybe they are conducting some secret transaction this time.

Gin booked two rooms on the 31st floor in advance, and he walked into the elevator with vodka, pretending to be two ordinary guests.For the time being, they didn't notice that there was a small tail behind them.

After the elevator reached the 31st floor, Gin asked Vodka to stay in the room, and he went out to act alone.

Vodka obeyed Gin's order without asking, and obediently stayed in the room.

Qin Jiu glanced at the surveillance cameras on the 31st floor, ignored them, and swaggered up to the rooftop.

At this time, Toru Amuro had no choice but to leave the unsolved case in the banquet hall on the first floor, and took advantage of the chaos after President Asashima was killed, and came to the rooftop unimpeded.

There was no surprise when Gin came up and saw Bourbon. He glanced at him lightly, walked to the other side and stood there, obviously waiting for someone.

Toru Amuro was a little surprised. He tentatively asked, "Bermod told me that I'm the only one here today."

Qin Jiu said coldly: "The lord also told me that Cointreau wanted me and you to come again later."

There was no ups and downs in his tone, but he was clearly dissatisfied with the sensations of the Cointreau orange wine.Not to mention that they all came, but the other party hadn't arrived yet.

Not to mention that Gin doesn't like people who are not on time, especially when everyone else arrives and has to wait for one person.

Banquet hall on the first floor.

Kashima Shiro touched his brother's head, and looked at Kashima Kiyoshi's body temperature again. Although the body temperature has not dropped, Kashima Kiyoshi's feeling is not as serious as before.

"Brother, you said that you have a fever because you are so good, you really scared me to death."

At this time, Kashima Bai complained and asked his brother to settle the score: "Could it be brother, you still have to slap the quilt when you sleep at night?"

Kashima Kiyoshi rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You just lifted the quilt, my sleeping position is very honest, okay?"

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Kashima Bai that he was not sick at first, but that he took the initiative to find the system to get the disease.

"People get sick all the time, and besides, I've recovered from it, and I feel much better than before."

Kashima Kiyoshi told his younger brother not to stare at him any more, insisting that he had recovered, and just waited for the fever to subside.

Kashima Shiro took a few more careful glances, and only agreed when Kashima Kiyoshi was tired of asking.

"Since brother insists." Kashima Bai scratched his head: "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."

"Brother, you have a rest here. I'll go upstairs. The ministers have something to do with me."
