The famous criminal in Conan's world

After knowing the identity of Hattori Heiji, Inspector Megure returned his attention to the case.

He looked at the layout of the room around him and said while thinking:

"All the windows in the study were locked from the inside. So if you wanted to enter from the outside, the only way was through the door."

"In this case, the only person who can kill Mr. Tsujimura is the one who holds the key!"

Speaking of this, Officer Megure turned around and asked Tsujimura Isao's wife, Tsujimura Kimie,

"Mrs. Tsujimura, who has the key to this study?"

Tsujimura Gongjiang reached into his bag and said without thinking.

"There are only two keys to this study, and one is in my hand."

Tsujimura Kimie paused and said,

"The other one is in my husband's hand."

""You sir?"

Inspector Megure repeated, and turned his gaze to Tsujimura Isao who was lying on the ground.

Hakuba Matsu had been paying attention to what Tsujimura Kimie said, and after hearing what she said, he immediately reached into Tsujimura Isao's pocket.

After some searching, Hakuba Matsu found a key in Tsujimura Isao's trouser pocket.

Hakuba Matsu reached into the inner pocket of his pocket and took out the key.

The key is in the shape of a key ring at the back that can be opened and closed, with the key hanging in front. When the key ring is opened, a piece of tape can be seen stuck inside.

Seeing the key in front of them, everyone's eyes froze.

Hattori Heiji, including Conan who was standing aside with a runny nose, all became more serious.

Inspector Megure even exclaimed

"How is this possible!?"

Only Maori Kogoro was still standing by, making an expression of"What's wrong?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but scold again,

"Don't you understand? The door of the study was clearly locked, which means that the murderer committed the crime, locked the door with a key, and then left."

"The key to the study was in the hands of the lady who came in with us, and the other was in the double pocket of the victim's trousers. This formed a perfect impossible crime!"

"This is a murder case in a closed room!"

Hattori Heiji's words were like a thunderbolt, fiercely bombarding everyone present.

Hattori Heiji was thinking at this time, as expected, this uncle who has become famous recently, is not really talented. He was able to solve these cases, probably thanks to the disappeared high school detective-Kudo Shinichi!

So, now it's time for the two high school detectives from Kanto and Kansai to compete!

Hattori Heiji's eyes flashed with a competitive flame, thinking so, he didn't say anything, and walked out the door.

"Hey, hey, hey, detective boy, what are you doing?"

Maori Kogoro saw Hattori Heiji walking out and shouted

"Find clues!"

Hattori Heiji left the study without even turning back, leaving only a few words behind.

"Don't worry about him,"

Bai Masong said calmly after he checked the body of the deceased.

"Our top priority now is to check for alibis for those present between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m."

"Um, Brother Bai Ma, why is it between 3:30 and 4:00 in the afternoon?"

"Curious baby," asked Inspector Megure.

Hakuba Song explained casually

"Because the purple marks on the deceased's body had just begun to appear, it meant that the time of death could not have been more than an hour. Considering the time we responded to the call, it was probably within half an hour before Detective Maori came in."

"Soga!"

Inspector Megure suddenly realized what was going on, and he immediately called Takagi Wataru

"Gao Mu, call everyone in the room and ask for their alibis"

""Yes, Officer Megure."

Takagi Wataru agreed.

Soon, the butler Koike Fumio, Tsujimura Isao's father Tsujimura Toshimitsu, Tsujimura Isao's son Tsujimura Takayoshi, and Tsujimura's fiancée Katsuragi Sachiko came to the study.

Officer Megure and Hakuba Matsu questioned them one by one.

The butler Koike Fumio answered first.

"Between three and four o'clock today, I was chatting with my neighbor nearby"

"Well, that's it. It seems you don't have time to commit the crime."Inspector Megure said as he took notes.

Bai Masong didn't say much, just listened quietly.

"Well, Mr. Takayoshi and Ms. Sachiko, you also came here not long before Mrs. Tsujimura Koie came back, right?"

Officer Megure turned around and said to Takayoshi Tsujimura and Sachiko Katsuragi.

"Yes, officer, you are right."

Takayoshi Tsujimura nodded.

"Then, when Butler Koike came to the door to greet Mrs. Tsujimura, where were you?"

Officer Megure continued to ask

"We went to my father's study, but the door was locked. We called him, but he didn't answer, so we quickly went downstairs."

Takayoshi Tsujimura said

"After I came down, I met my mother at the gate."

Katsuragi Sachiko added

""Yes," Officer Megure understood, and turned to look at the last one, Toshimitsu Tsujimura.

"So, Mr. Li Guang also came here after two o'clock?"

""Yes," said Tsujimura Toshimitsu,"I finally came here, but Ah Xun was locked in the study, and Gong Jiang went out first. I thought it was boring, so I stayed in the living room next to the study and watched TV there."

Officer Megure listened, took notes, and then asked Tsujimura Gong Jiang

"When did Madam Gong Jiang go out?"

"I left home before one o'clock."

Tsujimura Kimie said.

After listening to everyone's answers, Officer Megure thought for a moment and said,

"In this case, at the time of the crime, Mrs. Tsujimura Kimie and butler Koike Fumio were the least likely suspects, as they both had clear alibis."

"Mr. Toshimitsu Tsujimura, Takayoshi Tsujimura, and Sachiko Katsuragi, none of them have clear alibis."

After saying that, Officer Megure felt that his analysis was good, and asked Hakuba Song

"Brother Bai Ma, how is my analysis?"

Bai Ma Song did not say anything.

He looked around. Tsujimura Xun loved reading and had a lot of books in his study, but the stack of books on the table looked like they were taken directly from the bookshelf, which was very abrupt.

In addition, there was one more thing.…………

Bai Masong looked at the large shelf of records in front of him and finally spoke up and asked the butler Xiaochi Fumio

"Does Isao Tsujimura like listening to CDs?"

"Yes, that's right," said Fumio Koike affirmatively,"Master likes classical music very much."

Classical music?

But………………

Just now he checked the record placed next to the deceased's table, and it was clearly an opera.
