Chapter 333: Divers' Persistence

On the evening of Saturday, January 25th, Mihuacho Gochome Gymnasium.

Since it was only less than ten minutes away, Kaito, Aoko, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko all came. Under the leadership of Mori, everyone crossed the cordon into the gym and came to the swimming pool.

The Mumu Police Department looked at the large group of people and asked, "Maoli, what's going on with you?"

"Megure Police Department, Lan, Conan and I came here in the morning." Yamazaki said with a smile.

"Okay, then you stay here." Megure Police Department nodded and said, then pointed to the body of Saijo Naoya who was being photographed and said to Maori, "Just wait a while."

"Have I been here?" Qingzi asked in a low voice.

Lan whispered, "I didn't see you."

Mei Daizi laughed softly: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the shop, just go back and have supper later."

"How many people?" Kaito laughed softly, "What you said is really telling the truth."

"Of course." Yamazaki chuckled.

Conan chuckled softly, "It's true."

At this time, the photo was taken, and the Megure Police Department said: "The victim Naoya Saijo, the specific cause and time of death will not be known until the autopsy report is released, but from the surface characteristics and stiffness of the body, we can infer that the cause of death is Drowning, the time of death was between eight and nine in the evening."

"Drowning?" Qingzi asked softly, "How do you know this?"

"Foam can be seen in his nose and mouth, and there is a small amount of bleeding in his ears. This is due to the water entering from his nose and mouth, which is causing pressure on the inner ear," Conan said while touching his chin. characteristic of drowning."

"Do you know a lot?" Kaito asked.

"TV, it's TV." Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Conan said hastily, "I saw this in the suspenseful mystery film on TV last time, and I wrote it down."

Kaito said, "Not bad."

"It's already very powerful." Qingzi smiled, "He's only six years old."

Mao Li thought for a while and asked, "He's a diver after all. He should be very good at water. How could he drown?"

"His forehead seems to have hit something, and you can see that there are bloodstains on his swimming cap." Megure Police Department said, "According to these employees, Saijo's body was found in the swimming pool, below the diving platform. of."

Maori said: "That is to say, he accidentally failed while practicing diving."

"By the way, Dad," Lan asked back, "Didn't Mr. Saijo Naoya almost hit his head once when he was practicing this morning?"

The Mumu Police Department asked: "So there is really such a thing?"

"Yes, I got up," Maori said, "It was really dangerous at that time, I didn't expect it to really fail this time."

Meguro Police Department said: "However, one witness said that he saw a perfect jump and drew it. It's a pity that he didn't pay attention to whether someone jumped into the water before. After that, he was busy drawing and didn't pay attention. I didn’t notice the time, otherwise the time of Mr. Saijo’s death can be roughly determined.” He said and showed Maoli a painting, on which was a picture of a person jumping up and down in the air, with a full moon behind him.

"It does look perfect.

"Mori laughed and said, "In this case, the matter is very simple. Mr. Saijo failed to dive again later, which was completely an accident. "

"It's not what you think," Meguro Police Department said. "The witness was a resident of the apartment next door. He said that the lights were turned off in the venue at that time, and he didn't see the face of the diver clearly."

"What?" Maori was taken aback. "In this case, how did he see someone diving here? It is at least fifteen meters away from the apartment next door, and there is a layer of glass."

"We have already experimented. When the lights are turned off in this venue, by moonlight, we can indeed see some conditions near the swimming pool dimly." Mu Mu Police Department said, "But from there you can only see the sky. For some distance, you can't see what's going on on the platform and when you enter the water, so the word 'perfect' is just what he said."

"So, this painting is mostly an artist's beautified imagination." Maori said, "That is to say, it is only certain that someone jumped into the water in this place."

"We've asked the staff, and most of them don't think Mr. Saijo would turn off the lights in order to save electricity in the gym. We also found a wet hand towel in Mr. Saijo's locker that had been exposed to it. Traces." Megure Police Department said, "Preliminary inference, this incident may not be an accident, but a model of what happened in the morning, creating this accident."

"Stunned Mr. Saijo Naoya with a gun, took him to the diving platform, hit his head on the diving board to create a scar, and then pushed him into the water. I think this process will take at least ten minutes, plus There will be more than ten minutes of blank time in the diving time." Mao Li asked, "It's strange, why did the murderer still dive in this case? Isn't this a waste of time?"

"It's not clear yet." Meguro Police Department said, and then added, "The gym will be closed after 8 pm for a celebration party. When we came, all the employees were still there, and no one left early. "

Mao Li said: "So, the murderer is in this gym."

"That's easy," Kaito said with a smile, "Just let them take off their pants and check."

"Hurry up!" Qingzi shouted with a blushing face.

"That's a good idea." Conan smiled.

Ran shouted, "Conan!"

"Meguro Police Department, I think you can try it." Mao Li said while touching his chin, "Since the murderer jumped into the water, there must be a pair of wet swimming trunks. Find out and check how wet it is, and you can figure out when it was wet." Yes, compare the time of Mr. Saijo’s death, if yes, then the person who appeared at the place where Mr. Saijo died at the time of Mr. Saijo’s death must be the murderer.”

"Maori!" The Mumu Police Department was taken aback.

Mori laughed and said: "This level of reasoning is completely a piece of cake for my detective Mori Kogoro."

Yamazaki said: "Megure Police Department, maybe you can consider the situation of diving with the lights off, and you should be able to narrow the scope."

The Megure Police Department asked the owner of the gym, Miss Saeki Reiko, who was with her.

"If it's a 10-meter dive with the lights off," said Saeki Reiko, "generally, only me, Kijima, and Naruse can do it in this gym. But, officer, I have an alibi. , I didn’t leave the venue for more than ten minutes, and there are many people here who can attest.”

Mori said, "Then it's Kijima-san and Naruse Keiichi-san."

Megure Police Department asked, "Do you two have an alibi?"

Hisashi Kijima and Keiichi Naruse shook their heads together.

The Megure Police Department ordered people to check it. The swimming trunks on Mr. Kijima Hisahi were dry, and Mr. Naruse Keiichi's swimming trunks were vaguely wet.

At this time, a police officer sent a photo of Mr. Naruse Keiichi and a woman.

"This photo was obviously taken secretly, ****." Mori smiled, "Mr. Naruse, you harmed him because you were blackmailed by Mr. Saijo."

"It's not me. Although Nishi invited me to meet, I waited for more than ten minutes and he didn't show up." Naruse Keiichi shouted, "And if we talk about the motive of the murder, as far as I know, the curator and Kijima also have one. It was discovered by Saijo that there was a tax problem, and Saijo deprived him of the right to compete."

"Don't quibble." Mao Li smiled, "The swimming trunks on your body are the best evidence."

"That's the proof that he's not the murderer." Kaito laughed.

"What?" Molly was taken aback.

Conan said: "The murderer changed his wet swimming trunks after jumping into the water, so he was completely dry."

"Are you guilty of being a thief?" Meguro Police Department asked, "Mr. Kijima Hisahisa, what else do you have to say?"

"In terms of dry trunks," Kijima said, "a lot of people here have dry trunks."

"Then what about the condition of unknown time?" Yamazaki said, "Mr. Kijima, besides you and Mr. Naruse, there must be no third person who has more than ten minutes of unknown time during the celebration. As for the meeting between Mr. Saijo and Mr. Naruse, it should be planned by you, or maybe it was used by you."

"Oh!" Kijima looked at the ten-meter diving platform and said, "An athlete who walks down from the diving platform will definitely not be a diver."

Megure Police Department said: "Mr. Kijima Hisahisa, so you admit that you harmed Mr. Saijo Naoya tonight."

"Yes." Kijima Hisashi said, "Half a year ago, I had a car accident while riding a motorcycle, and my girlfriend who was sitting in the back seat of my car was seriously injured. Later, I don't know where Saijo Naoya heard the news. , exposed this matter to the outside world, and insisted that I was a bosozoku."

"I remember you are not a swimmer now?" Maori said, "It should be investigated now."

"But," Kijima said with some pain, "what I like is diving."

"Can't you just compare them?" Mei Daizi said, "Don't blame others if you are not strong enough."

"Strength?" Kijima said with a smile, "To be honest, Saijo Naoya has a bad personality, but I have to admit that his strength is not bad, not worse than mine. But Naruse, him? Ha!"

"What?" Maori and Meguro Police Department were puzzled.

Seeing Mr. Naruse and Ms. Saeki's expressions change, Kaito smiled back and asked, "Do you think the woman in this photo is somewhat similar to Director Reiko Saeki?"

"Aren't you going back?" Qingzi asked back, "Could it be her makeup?"

"In this way, it turned out that Mr. Saijo said that Mr. Naruse lacked exercise in the morning, and he was talking ironically. In fact, he was implying that Mr. Naruse was "excessively exercising and has no energy." Mouri couldn't help laughing.

Meguro Police Department laughed twice, then coughed, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Kijima Hisahisa, please come with us."

"Okay." Kijima said.

"Master Police Officer," Saeki Reiko asked, "Here in the gym..."

"It's all right here," Megure Police Department said, "But Director Saeki, please don't leave, colleagues from the economics class will come to you." Then he said to the Maori Seven, "Thank you very much today. Maori, You take them back."

"Okay, Megure Police Department." Mao Li said with a smile. ...

One past ten o'clock, Kaito, Aoko, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, Meidaiko and Mouri returned to Meidai Restaurant, and Mouri had a supper. ...

The next day, the news about the fitness center appeared in the morning paper, among which, the lace news about Saeki Reiko and Naruse Keiichi accounted for more than half of the page, and Mr. Naruse was not married, but he only covered it up because he was afraid of being gossiped. Covertly. Later, Mr. Hisashi Kijima was sentenced to six years in prison. Miss Saeki's tax problems were confirmed and she was fined a fortune. The original strengths of the gymnasium, the two projects of diving and swimming, which invested a lot of money, have exhausted their ink. Miss Saeki started to train players again, and after losing attention, the Saeki Gym turned into an ordinary gym in the town. ...
