Stay away from Conan

Chapter 396 Fake Identity

"That's right! Ms. Yukino was clearly still video chatting with us at that time. How could the time of death be 10:15!"

Yuanzi also denied loudly, and then looked at Gao Yuan aside:

"Mr. Akechi, we were video chatting with Miss Yukino at that time. It's absolutely impossible for Miss Yukino to die at that time, right?"

However, Gao Yuan did not respond.

But Officer Megure, who looked around the entire room, said:

"No, actually, maybe Miss Yukino is videotaping with you in this room."

"Why...why?"

Xiaolan was a little confused about what Officer Memu said.

"Because this is a day-rent apartment, the interior decoration is very simple, except for this corner where there are very feminine decorations."

Officer Megure said, pointing to the Western antique-style cabinet placed behind the sofa.

There is also an electronic clock and a doll on the cabinet.

"As long as you set the angle right and look at the video, it will give the illusion that Ms. Yukino is in her own room in Mihua Apartment and video chatting with you, right?"

Officer Megure explained, pointing to a laptop placed in the room.

"Why?"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi looked at each other in surprise, and then they tiptoed into the room that had been sampled by the police. They looked in the direction pointed by Officer Memu, and their expressions became even more surprised.

"Really...really! It looks exactly the same as Miss Yukino's room!"

Xiaolan said with a stunned expression.

"Surprisingly...if you look at it this way, you can't tell where it is at all?"

Yuanzi echoed Xiaolan's words and said with a surprised look on his face.

"That is to say, Miss Yukino did not video chat with you in her own room in Mihua Apartment, but here!"

Officer Memu repeated it seriously, then looked at Gao Yuan and said:

"What do you think? Brother Mingzhi?"

In response, Gao Yuan did not respond. He just looked at the doll on the cabinet and looked at it——

It's basically the same as the dolls seen in Mihua's apartment. The workmanship is a bit rough, and there's nothing weird about it at the same time.

Seeing Gao Yuan's rebuttal, Officer Mumu assumed that Gao Yuan had acquiesced in his inference, so he said:

"This way, Kubo will no longer be a prisoner."

"Hey? Why?"

Yuanzi asked in confusion.

"You'll understand when you think about it."

Officer Megure replied:

"The time when Ms. Yukino disappeared from the video was 10:15, and the time of her death can also be determined as this time. However, the time when Conan saw Kubo in the Mihua Apartment was 10:30 - this is far away Mihua Apartment is 1,300 kilometers away. Even if you drive at a high speed, it will take nearly three hours.

"If Kubo killed Miss Yukino here, how could he appear in Miwa's apartment within fifteen minutes? Unless he could teleport, it would be absolutely impossible!"

Officer Memu explained the entire logic in a long explanation, leaving both Xiaolan and Yuanzi speechless.

However, Yuanzi seemed a little unwilling, and asked:

"However, Ms. Yukino was screaming 'No, Mr. Kubo' at that time!"

As he spoke, Sonoko looked at Conan with questioning eyes and said:

"Kid, are you really sure that the person you saw in Mihua Apartment at that time was Mr. Kubo!"

"Well, absolutely right."

Conan nodded and spoke in a childish but serious tone.

"Then maybe you saw it wrong!"

Yuanzi looked at Conan who looked like a child and still didn't believe it.

In response, Takagi Wataru on the side couldn't help but said:

"Actually, not only Conan, but also the waiter at the convenience store near Mihua Apartment met Mr. Kubo, which happened to be around 10:30!"

"But even so... there is still a possibility that Kubo is the culprit!"

Yuanzi pretended to think deeply.

Hearing this, Officer Megure, Takagi Wataru, Xiaolan, and Conan couldn't help but look at Sonoko in surprise, and then heard Sonoko say:

"We can't rule out the possibility that he has a twin brother! He used his twin brother to create an alibi!"

"It's a pity that Garden..."

With a wry smile on her face, Xiaolan retorted:

"Although Mr. Kubo has a brother, they look nothing alike..."

"What!"

Yuanzi said in surprise:

"Xiaolan, how did you know about this?"

"I heard it from a chat with some veteran students in the puppet classroom."

Xiaolan explained.

In response, Officer Megure couldn't help but look at Takagi Wataru and ordered:

"Takagi, go verify this immediately!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing Officer Megure's order, Takagi Wataru immediately saluted Officer Megure and then ran out of the scene.

After listening to Xiaolan's explanation, Yuanzi kept mumbling in a low voice, folding his arms and thinking hard, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of anything. In the end, he put his hands behind his head helplessly and scratched his hair, feeling very depressed. .

At this time, Conan asked aloud:

"Officer Megure, can we first consult the Internet intermediary used by Ms. Yukino's video to find out where she conducted the video chat?"

"That's right!"

Hearing Conan's words, Sonoko immediately became excited:

“It turns out you can start from here!”

"But if she used an overseas operator to conduct the video, it would take quite a long time to fully investigate."

Gao Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly retorted.

"Then...what should we do?"

Officer Megure became worried again, dragged his chin with his hand, and began to think deeply.

"However, judging from the current situation, it is very reasonable to conclude that this is the place where she died. According to the identification results of the forensic department, we can also know that these blood stains came from Miss Yukino."

When Officer Megure turned his attention to the blood-stained carpet, Officer Megure still made an assertion.

"Indeed, the electronic clock here is also splashed with blood. It was probably splashed when Miss Yukino was killed."

Gao Yuan, who was standing in front of the cabinet, added.

"In that case, wasn't it true that Ms. Yukino was killed by Mr. Kubo?"

Xiaolan's thoughts were a little confused and she said feeling very depressed.

"Officer Megure, do you know when Yukino-san rented this daily apartment?"

Looking at Gao Yuan who only interrupted occasionally, Conan looked helpless and had no choice but to continue asking questions.

"According to the testimony of the apartment manager, Ms. Yukino booked the apartment online a week ago and paid money from her account."

Officer Megure replied.

"Online reservation? Bank transfer?"

Conan subconsciously had a keen sense of these two words in his mind.

But at this moment, Miwako Sato hurried in and reported:
