Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 59: Impossible Four-Minute Crime

Gao Cheng panted lightly and stopped his bicycle when selling the TV station, and found that the police cars were already parked under the TV station building.

I must buy a car next time...

"The one killed was Michihiko Suwa, the producer of this TV station, 37 years old... The murder weapon was a pistol..."

At the scene of the murder in the mixing room, Suwa Michihiko's body was sitting slumped under the window. The upper window was covered with splattered blood and a bullet hole was left. The forensic personnel took pictures of the scene one after another.

Mu Mu moved closer to the corpse: "A shot hit the head and penetrated the glass. It's very troublesome to find the bullet that flew out..."

"Officer, there are other bullet holes in the wall! Two behind the poster, one next to the clock, including the victim's body, a total of four shots were fired here!"

"All four shell casings are in the room."

"Well, there is a pistol with a silencer installed next to the corpse. It should be the gun that fired it. Take it for testing immediately!" Mu Mu said in a deep voice.

"Officer Megure," Mori Kogoro said confidently, "This way the matter is simple. There is only one entrance to the room. The murderer should have broken into the room and forced the victim to the window, and then shot him to death with random guns. Shot in the head, then the killer threw the pistol next to the body and fled...is that it?"

"Well, it should be." Mu Mu looked at Mao Li who was smiling triumphantly as he spoke, with a trace of cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Although Maori is now a detective, when he was still a criminal policeman, they were led astray by this guy every time, and it felt like they were going into a maze...

After wiping off his cold sweat, he turned to Gao Cheng, who was rushing to the door, and asked, "Brother Kido, Mo Li is here to do a show, why are you here?"

"Ha, I smell the case... Actually, I wanted to talk to Mr. Suwa about the show."

Gao Cheng walked up to Suwa Michihiko's body with a dry smile, and his expression immediately became serious: "I didn't expect Mr. Suwa to be shot..."

When he received the case released by the system, he still thought that he could ask Suwa Michihiko about the program, but he didn't know that it was Suwa Michihiko who died until he came to the scene.

"Kiroto," Conan squeezed aside, pointing to the corpse in a low voice, "there is still blood on the side of the phone receiver, he may have talked to someone on the phone when he was killed, so maybe the other party heard something... ..."

Gao Cheng looked along and found that it was an old-fashioned mobile phone: "It's been so long, if someone hears it, they will definitely call the police, right?"

Having said that, he still asked Megure: "Officer Megure, can you find out Mr. Suwa's call records? He may have been on the phone when he was killed."

"Telephone?" Mu Mu hurriedly ordered a police officer, "Investigate immediately!"

He still trusts Gao Cheng. Although he always likes to talk about money at a young age, he is actually a very enthusiastic person. He has helped the police for free at least twice. The most important thing is that he is still reliable. , unlike Maori who is sometimes shrewd and sometimes confused.

When the police officer left, Mu Mu continued to question the staff, "Have you seen any suspicious people?"

"No, because Suwa-san is alone here without everyone."

"Send everyone away?"

"It's all my fault," the show host Takashi Matsuo suddenly said sadly, "Actually, Suwa was waiting for me, because he said he had something important to talk about after the show, so he dismissed the others, saying yes I don't want people to hear..."

"In this way, there will be no witnesses," Mu Mu said with a headache, "Now we can only wait for the call records to be found."

Gao Cheng glanced at Takashi Matsuo in doubt. At this time, the mixing room was already surrounded by reporters. Takashi Matsuo was following the coroner who carried away Suwa's body. He almost walked out of the room when he was greeted by all kinds of microphones. submerged.

"Mr. Matsuo!"

"Matsuo-san, how are you feeling now?"

"Now it's rumored that your show is about to be cancelled,

Could it be that your fans can't accept it? Could you please answer? "

"Aren't you finished!" Takashi Matsuo yelled and interrupted the reporter's questioning, and said with tears in his eyes, "You are right, we talked about the cancellation of the show, but Mr. Suwa still hoped that I would Continue to host, that's why he invited me to this room tonight...

"I am here to announce to everyone that I will inherit Mr. Suwa's behest and continue to serve as the host. Moreover, I will put this case on the screen and try my best to track down the murderer until I kill Suwa. Mister's demons are caught as far as possible!"

In front of a program monitor in the mixing room, Gao Cheng silently watched Matsuo Takashi who was crying in the shooting screen.

"I feel that this person's behavior is too strange. He seems to be very happy when he is crying..."

"It's really suspicious," Conan thought while resting his chin on the side, looking like an adult, "I heard that he is also very good at marksmanship."

"You kid jumping up and down at the murder scene is even more suspicious." Gao Cheng glanced at Conan, "If it was me, I would definitely throw you out."

"What jumping up and down? I just followed Uncle Mouri." Conan's face collapsed, he was indeed beaten by Maori all the time, and was often thrown out.

"Officer!" The police officer who went out before hurried back and handed a form to Mu Mu, "The call record has been found!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Mu Mu nodded, took the form and looked at it, frowning.

After a while, Takashi Matsuo and several related staff members were called to the scene again.

"I did call Mr. Suwa at 8:15," a staff member explained. "He still answered the phone at that time, but the one who called at 55:00 did not answer..."

"What did you call him for?" Meguro asked.

"I asked him to call," Matsuo helped explain, "because I still have to do a show..."

Gao Cheng has already read the call records, and locked his eyes on Matsuo Takashi: "Mr. Matsuo, you also called Mr. Suwa in the middle, and you should still be on the show when you called?"

"Well," Takashi Matsuo paused, as if he had expected Gao Cheng to ask such a question, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, "Actually, there was a 4-minute short video in the middle of the show, and I left for a while because my stomach was uncomfortable. , and called Suwa again by the way..."

Gao Cheng asked suspiciously: "Is this really the case? The phone call you made should be the one when the crime happened. It's too coincidental, and I heard that your marksmanship is very good."

"Are... are you doubting me?"

Matsuo Takashi said innocently: "I just called for a while and then hung up. Besides, I was recording the program from 8 to 9 o'clock. I just left for a while when the 4-minute short film was played. From the 9 o'clock when I hosted the program From the studio on the 1st floor to this room on the 4th floor, unless you take the elevator, no matter how fast you go back and forth, it should take more than 4 minutes."

He was very surprised when he saw Gao Cheng appear before, but soon he thought everything in advance in his heart. As an excellent detective show host, he has conceived countless cases. After his perfect criminal plan is successful, I believe that even two All the detectives were there and couldn't find any flaws.

Looking over Gaocheng and Mori Kogoro, Takashi Matsuo said without worry: "If you don't believe me, try it yourself, and you can prove my innocence immediately!"

"Okay, Mouri, go and have a look!" Meguro immediately turned to Mouri Kogoro and said.

"Ah, you want me to run?"

"Why would I do such a thing? That boy Kido is there too..." Mori Kogoro ran up the stairs depressingly. He was used to doing things under Mu Mu before, but he didn't react for a while.

By the time Mori Kogoro ran to the studio on the 9th floor and hurried back to the 4th floor, the time had already exceeded 6 minutes.

"6 minutes and 48 seconds!"

"Maori, can't you hurry up?" Meguro complained.

"I can't help it!!" Mao Li shouted out of breath, "My heart is about to burst right now!"

"This should prove my innocence, right?" Matsuo Takashi laughed.

Gao Cheng looked at Matsuo Takashi's proud look, and frowned.

No matter how fast it is, it can't be less than 6 minutes. Uncle Maori took such a long time without stopping for a moment, which is almost the limit.

Last time, Michihiko Suwa took him and Mori to visit the building. Because of the historical relationship, the stairs here are not connected together. Almost every two floors have to go through the corridor to find the stairs, which is very time-consuming.

Even if you can go back and forth within 4 minutes, the corridors and elevators are monitored, and there are many people on the TV station, so it is easy to be witnessed.

"Officer," a police officer reported, "I checked the elevator and corridor surveillance at the time of the murder, but I didn't see Mr. Matsuo."

"In this way, Matsuo-san really can't commit a crime..."

Mu Mu murmured, then turned to Kogoro Mouri and Gao Chengdao: "Maori, Brother Kido, what do you think?"

Mori Kogoro asked suspiciously: "Mr. Matsuo, didn't you hear anything when you called? Mr. Suwa should have been shot at that time."

"No, maybe I just hung up the phone because time is short..." Matsuo Takashi sighed and shook his head, then turned to the camera and said, "In short, I am innocent, the audience and everyone can testify to this."

"Whether it is innocent or not, it's hard to say now," Gao Cheng said coldly, "There may be some trick hidden in this case, a trick that can kill Mr. Suwa within 4 minutes."

"Hey, do you still think I'm the murderer?" Takashi Matsuo smiled with a trace of cold sweat, "Detective Kido, you can't just gossip and wrong people like before just because you're a detective now, you'll lose your reputation." It will all be ruined."

Gao Cheng's eyes narrowed, this guy Matsuo actually advanced his past dark history in front of the camera lens.

Indeed, the original owner made a mistake before, but it is different now and then...

"Mr. Matsuo, I just want to say that you are still suspected." Gao Cheng turned to look at the murder scene and said, "As for who the murderer is...I will definitely find that murderer!"
