Chapter 372: Straight line on the road


   Wednesday, March 26, at five o'clock in the evening, Imoto’s.
After hearing the administrator’s answer, the Meguro Police Department said:
The people who entered and left here today, Mrs. Imoto, Mr. Tsuchashi, and Mr. Terazawa who live here, apart from the victim, there are only three of you, and you three You also have sufficient motives to harm Mr. Imoto. In other words, this murderer is probably one of the three of you." Then he said, "Mrs. Imoto, first please tell me when you found the body. situation."
   "When I came to this apartment, it was about four to fifty." Takako Imoto said.
   "The exact time is 4:53," the manager opened a pamphlet and said, "I will keep a record of when everyone enters and exits the apartment."
   "That's so convenient, it will help a lot." Megome police department said, "Please go on, Mrs. Imoto."
"My husband and I were separated ten days ago. The reason why I came here today is indeed, as Mr. Dobashi said, to discuss with my husband about the alimony for divorce." Takako Imoto said, " When I came into the house, my husband was practicing Tai Chi on the balcony alone. He would do Tai Chi every morning and evening for his health. Seeing this, I did not disturb him to practice, but went to the bathroom. However, when I came out of the bathroom and looked on the balcony again, I found that my husband had fallen on the ground motionless, looking like he was dead, so I went downstairs and called for someone."
   Mumu Police Department asked: "If this is the case, why don't you call the police?"
   Imoto Takako said, "I was so frightened that I ran out without changing my shoes."
   Mori said, "Police Department, Mrs. Imoto really appeared in front of us wearing slippers. When we came in, her shoes were at the door."
   "So, Mrs. Imoto, according to you, Mr. Imoto was killed during the time you entered the bathroom." Police Department Megome asked, "Then, how many minutes did you stay in the bathroom?"
   "It looks like I spent two minutes in the bathroom." Takako Imoto said, "If it is 4:53, it will be almost 4:57 when I come out."
  Momemo Police Department asked, "So when you were in the bathroom, did you hear someone or something?"
   "No," Takako Imoto replied.
   "Next, Mr. Dobashi," the police department Megome asked, "when did you come to this apartment?"
   "I think it was less than 4:45 at that time, because I had an appointment with Mr. Imoto for forty-five minutes to meet." said Tetsuo Dobashi.
   The administrator said: "The exact time is 4:43."
"The reason why I came here today, as Mrs. Imoto said, I hope to ask him again if he can lend me some money," said Tetsuo Dobashi, "but he saw me and told me directly.
It’s no use for you to come back several times. To be honest, I don’t want to help you at all, and I can’t think of any reason to help you. Let’s go and don’t come to me again.
After that, I was frustrated. I got to the top floor of this apartment and wanted to commit suicide."
   "Suicide?" The Meguro Police Department was taken aback.
   "But when I was standing on the top of the building and looking at this demolition and demolition area with no one, I suddenly figured it out," said Tetsuo Dobashi.
   "Did you figure it out?" Maori asked suspiciously.
"I heard that the real estate in this area belongs to their company. It looks like this now, and he has even moved his office to his home. In addition, he is also very difficult to rebuild this area. It’s also difficult to get the funds for the area.
Tsutohashi said,
I still have a small warehouse and an office in the port area anyway, so I don’t want to die when I compare it.

   "That's how it is," Maori said.
   "What did you say?" Takako Imoto exclaimed in surprise, "You mean my husband has no money?"
   "Oh! Now is not the time to discuss this issue." Megome Police Department said, and then asked, "Mr. Dobashi, how did you come to the scene later?"
"Because I heard Mrs. Imoto screaming, I rushed over. I yelled twice but no one responded. I came in worried about it. Then I went to the balcony and found Mr. Imoto lying on the balcony. "Tetsuo Dobashi said, "Then Mr. Mori will come."
   "That's it." Megome Police Department said, "Next, Mr. Terazawa, tell me."
   Terazawa asked: "Police officer, I wasn't in this apartment at the time of the incident. It should have nothing to do with me, right?"
   Mumu Police Department said: "Be cautious, please tell me what time is the time to leave the apartment."
   Terazawa said, "I remember it was less than ten o'clock."
"The time to go out was 9:50 in the morning, and the time to return was 4:58 in the evening. During this time, Mr. Terazawa never came back." said the administrator, "but Mr. Terazawa came back today. It’s a bit early, he usually comes back after sunset."
   "Oh?" Megome Police Department asked, "Mr. Terazawa?"
   "Well, well, it's actually a shameful thing." Terazawa untied the fishing gear and said, "I don't know what happened today. The fishing line was broken, so I had to come back early."
   Seeing that the fishing line was obviously torn off, the Megumi Police Department nodded and said, "That's it."
   At this time, Yamazaki said, "Uncle, it's about 5:20, the time is almost the same, Mei Daizi and I are going back."
   "Okay," Maori said.
   Is it off work now? Conan murmured, this guy, how did this become an assistant?
   Putting away the pen and police handbook, the Megumi Police Department asked: "Brother Maori, what do you think of this incident?"
"Mr. Terazawa was not in this apartment at all when Mr. Imoto was killed, so it is impossible to be the murderer." Maori said, "Mrs. Imoto, when you said you came out of the bathroom, you found your husband lying on the balcony. Above, what if you didn’t go to the bathroom at all? After you killed your husband, you deliberately pretended to be frightened and screamed in order to attract everyone’s attention, and then pretended to be scared and ran downstairs. This is okay It makes sense."
   "What, what!" Takako Imoto was taken aback.
"Mr. Dobashi, you said that you went to the top floor after borrowing money from Mr. Imoto and was refused, but you were probably in Mr. Imoto’s president’s room at that time, or stood with Mr. Imoto at all. On the balcony, because only a part of the balcony can be seen from the room." Mouri said, "Before the incident, when Mrs. Imoto came in, you were in the president’s room or on the balcony, and you entered the bathroom in Mrs. Imoto. The victim will be killed in the future, and it is not impossible to go to the top floor after the assault."
"No, that's not the case. I was already on the top floor when Mrs. Imoto came to this house." Tetsuo Dobashi said quickly, and then asked, "By the way, Mrs. Imoto, how many did you see when you came in? Pair of shoes?"
   "Only my husband's shoes." Takako Imoto said.
   "This can't prove anything. You can wear your shoes on your body." Maori said, "Also, if you are on the roof, how do you know when Mrs. Imoto came here."
   "This, this is what Mrs. Imoto said just now," said Tetsuo Dobashi, "I was upstairs at 4:50, and she only came at 53."
   Maori asked rhetorically, "Can you remember the time when you are frustrated?"
   "This, this..." Tetsuo Dobashi was speechless.
  Momemo Police Department asked: "Mr. Dobashi, you said you were on the top floor at the time. Is there any evidence to prove it?"
"Evidence? No," said Tohashi Tetsuo, "there was no one on the top floor at all." Then he smiled, "Yes, maybe the person on the other side..." Then said disappointedly, "Yes, there is no one in this area. People live." Then he thought about it and said, "By the way, I heard a voice."
   Mumu Police Department asked, "What sound?"
   "Yes, I heard the sound of ‘clang’ hitting metal at the time, and it came from this balcony," said Tetsuo Dobashi.
Conan asked, "Hey, uncle, is it the scar on the railing?" He picked up an iron box with a pen from the table, ran to the railing, and tapped it against the railing. There was a "clang" sound.
   "That's the voice." Tetsuo Tsutohashi said immediately.
  Momemo Police Department asked, "So, Mrs. Imoto, have you heard this voice?"
   "No," Takako Imoto said, "Maybe it's because of my relationship in the bathroom."
   It’s so strange, Conan thought, touching his chin, these people don’t seem to be lying, so what is the connection between the scar on the railing and the murderer?
"Police officer, although Mr. Dobashi said he heard the sound of the railing being knocked on, it does not mean that he must be on the top floor at the time. Maybe he was knocking on the railing on the balcony." Maori said, "and If the real murderer is not the two of them, it means that the murderer came in from the outside. According to Mrs. Imoto, the murderer entered the room to the balcony silently within two minutes, causing Mr. Imoto to even yell. Kill him without sending it out, and then go out, how is this possible."
   Mumu Police Department said: "You are in the elevator. If the murderer avoids you and takes the stairs, it is possible."
   "No, the police department," the forensic officer said, "Based on the distribution of the soil from the overturned bonsai on the ground, we concluded that no one was standing next to the victim at that time."
   "What?" Police Megumi, Maori and Conan were taken aback together.
"If it wasn't attacked from behind, the murder weapon flew over," said Maori, "the murderer must be Mr. Dobashi. Standing on the top of the building, he killed Mr. Imoto with something." Then he asked the forensic officer. Said, "Have you not found the murder weapon yet?"
   "Yes, I was about to say," the forensic officer said, "Police, we did not find anything with blood stains."
   "What!" The Megome Police Department asked in surprise, "You mean the murder weapon is not here?"
   "Sure enough," Maori smiled. "Mr. Dobashi must have come in and picked up the weapon that was shot next to Mrs. Imoto when he was out, and threw it outside the building."
   "No, no," Tetsuo Tsutohashi waved his hand quickly, "This was definitely not what I did."
   "Well, it makes sense to say that." Police Department Momi looked at the surrounding unmanned buildings and sighed, "Apply for police dogs and see if we can find the murder weapon."
   Uncle Maori’s explanation is correct, but it is still possible that an outsider did it. Wait, from the outside, Conan ran to the railing, looked at the building opposite the gap, and thought, it was about thirty meters. If you use something to attack from there, by the way, fishing gear will be fine. Thinking of this, Conan smiled and said to himself: "Very good~EbookFREE.me~ Let me end this incident." He touched his watch, then froze, and cried out in his heart, no, Used up in the morning. Then he muttered, "Yamazaki, the person is gone at a critical moment. How can I remind my uncle to notice this? It's a headache."
Conan ran back to the room, looked around, found two pen holders, then opened several drawers and found a reel of line, so he used a pencil as a fishing rod, a line as a fishing line, and a coin as a hook, and made a fishing rod. Shaking the fishing rod, making the coin knock and swing back and forth between the pen holders, making a crisp'clang, clang' sound. This really attracted Maori, and also Lan.
   Maori looked at the toy fishing gear for a moment, then thought about it for a moment and ran to the railing.
   Lan looked at Conan like this, immediately picked him up, and confiscated his fishing gear.
   "Police, I understand." Maori exclaimed excitedly, and then asked, "Conan, do you remember where the bird fell?"
   "Of course I remember, it's in front of this balcony." Conan said, "Ah, it's in front of this new gap."
   "Bird?" The Megome police department cried out suspiciously.
   "When we came, we found a bird that was not injured but fell. The location where the victim fell, the new gap in the railing, the location where the bird fell," said Maori, "there is also the building opposite, which happens to be a straight line."
   "What's wrong with this?" asked the Mumu Police Department.
   "If my reasoning is correct, the police department," Maori said, "the roof of that building, everything will be clear after passing."...
