Stay away from Conan

Chapter 725 Broaden your thinking

"At the outdoor restaurant?"

After hearing what Conan added, Gao Yuan was thinking while talking about it——

It still takes more than ten minutes...

But this happened in the Izu Princess Hotel before the fireworks display. Is it related to the fireworks display?

If you think about it carefully, when Masahiko Michowaki was with Conan and others, Masahiko Michowaki appeared three times in a row and was out of sight of Conan and others.

However, each time was only about ten minutes, and two of them were due to parking. After actually seeing where he parked, we were basically convinced that it was impossible for him to use this time to do anything.

And when eating in an open-air restaurant, it is not incomprehensible that it takes more than ten minutes to go to the toilet. And what can this time be used for?

It seems that unless Masahiko Michowaki really has an accomplice, no matter how suspicious he is, he really does not have time to commit the crime!

Gao Yuan was deeply confused about this, and thought carefully about whether he could find any differences among these three points in time——

"By the way, what about when you came to the outdoor restaurant in the evening? Didn't he separate from you for a while because he parked the car?"

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yuan suddenly realized that it seemed that in two of the three previous time points, Michiowaki Masahiko was delaying time because he had to park his car, and he thoughtfully asked Conan and others to leave first, which led to the occurrence of these ten minutes or so. separation time.

That being the case, in the evening, Conan and others also arrived at the Izu Princess Hotel in Michowaki Masahiko's car for dinner, so why didn't this ten-minute delay occur?

So, out of curiosity, Gao Yuan asked this question.

Conan answered naturally:

"Because at six o'clock in the evening, we just came here temporarily to eat at the outdoor restaurant, so Masahiko Michowaki parked the car temporarily beside the hotel without spending time to park in the parking lot."

"That's right..."

Listening to Conan's answer, Gao Yuan nodded. If he parked directly outside the hotel temporarily, there would be no need to park the car in the parking lot and walk such a long way.

So, when there were no more clues at the moment, Conan got on the elevator to the 30th floor, preparing to stay by Xiaolan and others' side, while Gao Yuan returned to the open-air restaurant——

Looking at the police who had completed the fall experiment and the rolled-up quilt that had indeed fallen to the left side of the bronze statue to replace the dummy, Henggou said to Gao Yuan who returned:

"The results of the experiment are out. It did fall on the left side of the bronze statue. It is also very close to the place where Ehara Tokio fell. Maybe Ehara Tokio fell in that room. But..."

Saying this, Henggou Zhenshu couldn't help but ask Gao Yuan:

"What would have happened if Tokio Ehara really fell from that room? Even if Tokio Ehara might have known Chiharu Orimoto because he was a hacker..."

Speaking of this, Henggou Shenwu suddenly touched his chin with one hand and began to think and guess——

"Wait a minute! Tokio Ehara was the first discoverer of the murder of Chiharu Orimoto. According to the testimonies of the three discoverers at the time, Tokio Ehara should have discovered the body of the deceased earlier than Sonoko and the others. Is it possible? , Before Sonoko and the others found the deceased, what did Ehara Tokio take from the deceased?”

"Do you think that when Tokio Ehara discovered that Chiharu Orimoto was dead, he was the first to take away her belongings? For example, the room key?"

Listening to Henggou's speculation that seemed like a flash of inspiration, Gao Yuan asked in surprise.

Henggou Zenwu also nodded seriously and replied:

"That's right. After all, the existing evidence is difficult to support the possibility that Masahiko Michowaki committed the crime. Maybe Chiharu Orimoto's death has nothing to do with the photo she took, but she became the murderer simply because of her hair color. It’s just a target, or it may even be a simple random crime!”

As he said this, Henggou felt that he had found a new possibility that Gao Yuan had never thought of, and he couldn't help but become more and more surprised as he talked about it.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when listening to Henggou's words -

Indeed, because I was too obsessed with Masahiko Michowaki, I didn't think much about other possibilities. Since I can't find the possibility that Masahiko Michowaki committed the crime at all, it wouldn't be a waste to think about it in other ways. A better choice.

"But...if that's the case, what about that photo and the Chiba Prefecture detective who fell into the sea and died?"

Faced with the idea of ​​​​Hengmou's enlightenment, if Masahiko Michowaki is not the murderer of the fireworks display incident, then how to explain other doubts?

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but want to listen to Henggou's thoughts on enlightenment, and maybe he could expand his limited thinking:

"Furthermore, the Chiba Prefectural Police believes that Michowaki Masahiko is a serial murderer who specializes in targeting women with brown hair. Do you think it is a mistake on the part of the Chiba Prefectural Police? But Michowaki Masahiko is indeed trying to find a way to get in touch with brown haired women. It’s true that the other women, Moro Yu and Miss Sonoko, have been approached by him!”

Gao Yuan asked.

After hearing this, Henggou could not help but say:

"No...I just think, is it possible that things are all the same? Don't try to connect them. Maybe the relationship between several incidents is just a coincidence?"

Speaking eloquently, Henggou Shenwu continued to explain:

"It should be correct that Masahiko Michowaki is the serial murderer judged by the Chiba Prefectural Police, so the death of the police officer who fell into the sea is probably related to him. However, this does not mean that the death of Ms. Orimoto was also his fault. After all, a similar incident that happened last year caused quite a stir in the neighborhood, and there are not many people who know the details of the case. What if Ms. Orimoto was imitated by someone who copied last year's incident? Killing, this is also possible! "

"You mean...copycat?"

Listening to Henggou's words, Gao Yuan asked slightly surprised, feeling that what Henggou said was quite true.

"That's right. And because he is a copycat, it is normal for Masahiko Michowaki to have an alibi soon! As for Tokio Ehara falling from the building in Miss Orimoto's room, it is entirely possible that Tokio Ehara fell in Miss Orimoto's room. The deceased immediately took the key from him! Because they are all hackers, there might be other secrets between them!"

Henggou felt good about himself, and seemed to explain everything separately, so many problems had new investigation ideas, which was indeed a lot more open than Takato's thoughts, which were limited to Michowaki Masahiko.

"And our police officers have just conducted a more careful search of the woods near the crime scene, and indeed found nothing suspicious. It is even more impossible to heat food in the wild, so I feel that no matter what, It is impossible for Masahiko Michowaki to be the murderer, because even if he had time to commit the crime, he would not have been able to hide the murder weapon at this time! "

Henggou Shenwu said seriously:

"Although the crime scene is close to the sea, throwing the murder weapon into the sea is indeed a good way to dispose of the murder weapon. But even if you want to throw the murder weapon into the sea for disposal, you still have to run back and forth from the scene to the sea. It will take about ten minutes, so the murderer cannot be Masahiko Michowaki!"
