Chapter 567: The Curtain Call of a Famous Actor

On the afternoon of Monday, March 23, in the lobby on the first floor of the building where Kozaburo Hijikata's family lives.

After hearing Hijikata Kosaburo's words, Conan laughed in a Maori voice: "It seems that Mr. Hijikata, you haven't realized it yet. Police department, please write down the fact that the door of Hijikata's house on the sixth floor is not closed. This is important evidence."

"Evidence?" Meguro Police Department asked, "What does this prove?"

Conan said in a Maori voice: "It proves that Ms. Yongcang Yumi's death time was before two o'clock in the afternoon. If my reasoning is correct, it should be around one fifty-four."

The Mumu police department asked: "How do you know this?"

Conan asked in a Maori voice: "Lan, do you remember what Ms. Yongmei said when she left?"

"Well," Lan said, "she said there was something upstairs."

Megure Police Department quickly asked Officer Takagi what was unusual in the room.

"Nothing unusual," Police Officer Takagi said, "It's just that there is a half glass of alcoholic drinks using a straw in the bedroom, and some snacks. It looks like someone was watching TV here before. Well, there is lipstick on the straw. This person should be Yong Ma'am."

"So Ms. Yumi just didn't want to stay there with me, a detective who was invited by his husband to be a teacher, Ms. Yumi, she just came to watch the TV that will go back to her soon, so she didn't even close the door," Conan Said in a Maori voice, "It's like going out to get a newspaper. I don't think anyone will close the door here."

"That's right." Mumu Police Department said.

"But Mr. Hijikata, Ms. Yumi, and Mr. Okita will hold a meeting at Mr. Okita's house at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I don't think the time of this meeting can be determined." Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Excuse me, if Ms. Yongmei went home, how could she not close the door when she left home to go to this meeting?"

Megure police department said: "If you say that..."

Kozaburo Hijikata forced a smile and said, "It must be because Yumi forgot to close it."

"If you're an ordinary person, if you're a newcomer in the entertainment industry, then it's fine, but for an established star, forget about closing the door, you say," Conan asked in a Maori voice, " Mr. Kozaburo Hijikata, the famous actor, do you believe it yourself?"

Kosaburo Hijikata said, "Occasionally, occasionally, sometimes."

"Is murder an occasional act for you?" Conan asked in a Maori voice, and then said, "I think what happened is like this. Mr. Hijikata and Ms. Yumi invited us into the living room and brought us After leaving the door, Ms. Yumi went to the entrance to put on her shoes and go home, but at this moment, Mr. Hijikata attacked him with a drugged handkerchief."

"What a joke, is there something like a drugged handkerchief?" Kosaburo Hijikata laughed, "You've watched too many detective dramas."

"That's right." Mumu Police Department said.

"Mr. Hijikata prepared this early in the morning." Conan said in a Maori voice, "Mr. Hijikata actually prepared another murder plan, but the plan didn't work, but those things were used." Then please ask Megure Police Department Ask Officer Takagi to check the empty house next door, and then to the house on the fifth floor.

Officer Takagi reported, "There is a long rope as thick as a finger in this empty room on the sixth floor. And the house on the fifth floor is very strange."

"What's strange?" Meguro Police Department asked.

"The furnishings in the house on the fifth floor don't care about the orientation or style.

They are all exactly the same as the sixth floor. "Officer Takagi said.

"It's just that I'm used to this kind of arrangement." Hijikata Kosaburo said.

"This is the method you prepared to confuse the police." Conan said in a Maori voice, "I think you originally wanted to take us to the sixth floor, and then commit crimes in the empty room next door, and wait until night Put the body of Ms. Yumi on the balcony of Mr. Okitaichi on the fifth floor with a rope, and then rush to his room with the media to find the body. When the police check the time of death of the body, you can say that we have been with us at that time The fifth floor, so there will be an alibi, and the sixth floor must have changed a lot at that time. We who have only been here once will only think that we are on the fifth floor. You originally wanted to implement this plan. When you enter the elevator They also pasted black tape on the elevator display screen, preparing to take us to the fifth floor you mentioned, which is the sixth floor."

Kosaburo Hijikata said: "Nonsense, it's just a prank by the National People's Congress, there is no plan to kill."

Conan said in a Maori voice, "I don't think the people who took the elevator before us didn't notice this."

Okita Kazu said hastily: "That's right, when I got off the elevator, I didn't find any abnormality on the floor display board of the elevator."

Mu Mu Police Department asked: "But why not use it?"

"Because there is a fatal flaw in this method, using a rope to put Ms. Yumi's body will leave marks on the body, which cannot be removed." Conan said in a Maori voice, "And Mr. Okita went out The convenience store just created a rare opportunity for Mr. Hijikata. Using the items he had prepared, he came up with this plan."

The Mumu Police Department asked: "What are the prepared items?"

"Drugs, I won't say much about it. Several strands of fishing line are combined to make a little blood that is recognizable from the wound, but not too much blood, leaving unnecessary traces. Mr. Okita's family The spare key, and Mr. Okita's handkerchief and gloves found from Mr. Okita's house with this key, these two things may have been revealed to people." Conan said in a Maori voice.

Okitaichi said: "So, he deliberately stained his gloves with blood so that he can blame me."

"That's right." Conan said in a Maori voice, "After Mr. Hijikata charmed Ms. Yumi, he used the spare key to open the door of Mr. Okita's house while Mr. Okita next door was not at home, took Ms. Yumi there and killed her. at this time……"

The Mumu Police Department interface said: "Well, it is indeed around one fifty-four in the afternoon."

"Next, Mr. Hijikata theoretically has five or six minutes to set up the scene and deal with the aftermath, but we were waiting for him next door, and something unexpected might happen at any time, so Mr. Hijikata's time is actually very tight." Conan said in Maori's words The voice said, "He first found cloth at Mr. Okita's house, then put Ms. Yumi in the corner of the balcony, covered it with cloth, packed Ms. Yumi's shoes, murder weapon and other items and threw them down..."

"Wait," Meguro Police Department asked, "why didn't he throw the key down too?"

"A key cannot be thrown very far. When the police search by the river, there is a high chance of finding this key. Although it is not clear whether it is the key related to the incident, I will definitely try it." Conan Said in Maori's voice, "As long as this key that can open the door of Mr. Okita's house appears, Mr. Hijikata will have no alibi and will become a suspect."

The Mumu police department asked: "Then why don't you keep it on yourself?"

"Because he didn't have a key with him." Conan said in a Maori voice. "When he brought us here, he said that he couldn't open the door without a key. He used this as an excuse to go upstairs to Miss Yumi. He must have put the string on the way. The spare key of Mr. Okita's house that was on his keychain was taken off, and then he put it at home, but he really didn't bring it out. At that time, Mr. Hijikata must have been thinking about the next plan in his mind, and this kind of thing will happen very soon normal."

At this time, Police Officer Takagi reported that a bunch of keys were found in a cabinet in the entrance of Kosaburo Hijikata's sixth-floor home.

"Since you can't keep the key on your body, you can't leave it in the room that our police will search carefully, and you can't throw it outside, so the most conspicuous place is the safest place," Megure Police Department said, "Mr. Just hung the key on Ms. Yumi's keychain." Then he asked, "By the way, why didn't he go upstairs?"

"It should be too late. After all, this operation was a hasty plan due to an unexpected situation." Conan said in a Maori voice, "Mr. Hijikata thought that Ms. Yumi had already closed the door when she came out, but he didn't Bring the key, and it will take some time to get the door key from Ms. Yumi’s keychain and take it back to open the door. At that time, Mr. Hijikata may have seen Mr. Okita come back from the balcony of Mr. Okita’s house. Although I made preparations, but due to the tight schedule, I was afraid that Mr. Okita would call the police first if he found something unusual on the balcony after returning home, so he hurried back to make tea. You must know that he hadn’t done anything about making tea at that time, no. How did the tea come to meet us? Then he brought us the tea and then made an excuse to take us to his balcony so we could be the ones who found Ms. Yumi's body."

Kosaburo Hijikata said, "Detective Mori, all of this is just your imagination, and it doesn't explain anything at all."

"No, Mr. Hijikata, if you go back upstairs, you will definitely find that the door of your house is not closed." Conan said in a Maori voice, "In terms of time, Mr. Okita is at 1:59 p.m. Mr. Hijikata should have returned to his room around 58:00 when he came back before. In other words, Mr. Hijikata only had about four minutes to deal with the aftermath. He used four minutes to find the cloth covering the body and get the spare key of Mr. Okita’s house. Put it in Ms. Yongmei's keychain, pack and throw away Ms. Yongmei's shoes and gloves, and most importantly, spend time in various places in the living room to confirm that Ms. Yongmei is really placed in the dead corner of the balcony. Let Mr. Okita, who is about to go home, find an abnormality in the living room. I think this time-consuming work should not be done, so I can’t be sure. I still have to say here that Mr. Hijikata really deserves to be a famous actor , with the ability to remain calm on the spot."

"Indeed." Megure Police Department said, and then asked: "But, Mori, the body is at Mr. Okita's house after all. According to what you said, the murder weapon is also Mr. Okita's, and the key cannot be sure that Mr. Hijikata used it. Just because the door is not closed..."

"That's right, so you want to testify that I'm the murderer," Fang Xingsaburo said, "Detective Maori..."

Conan said in Maori's voice: "Because Mr. Hijikata is not only suspected of killing Ms. Yumi, but also has the motive of killing Ms. Yumi, a very strong motive."

The fat reporter asked with a blushing face, "Detective Maori, please tell me quickly, what is the motive?"

"Mr. Hijikata lost a lot in the real estate market, and he has to pay a lot of money for his new movie, so he bought a high amount of insurance for his wife, Ms. Yumi. The beneficiary is of course himself, Hijikata Kozaburo-san." Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Mr. Hijikata, I don't know if I'm right?"

Dazed for a moment, Hijikata Kozaburo shook his head and smiled, "Detective Mori, trespassing is a crime."

"That brat told me when he accidentally saw it under the bed in your bedroom on the sixth floor when he was wandering around." Conan said in a Maori voice, and at the same time thought, really, so many reporters are here, even cameras I have set up several sets, so I can only say this about myself.

"Mr. Hijikata, is this true?" The fat reporter asked excitedly.

At this time, Police Officer Takagi reported, "Cough, cough, police department, I found an insurance policy under the bed in Dojikata's bedroom on the sixth floor, with two bills in it. Cough, cough, there is so much dust."

"Dust?" Mumu Police Department didn't understand.

"Here I have to say, marrying a celebrity who doesn't do housework is a really hard life." Kozaburo Hijikata sighed.

Megure Police Department asked, "Mr. Hijikata?"

"Up to now, there is nothing to talk about." Hijikata Kozaburo said, "To be honest, I never thought that Yumi would not close the door when she came out. Although Yumi doesn't do housework, she usually does it to prevent paparazzi It is in place, she always locks the door with three locks, and I was absent-minded when I put the key, and then I completely forgot where I put the key. I was afraid that I would not find it for a while, so I gambled on my luck and left the spare key in Yongmei’s keychain Come on, otherwise, after I came out of Okita's house, I would go upstairs anyway, it seems that luck is not on my side."

Megure Police Department asked: "So, Mr. Hijikata, do you admit that you are the murderer?"

"Yes, that's right," Hijikata Kozaburo said to the camera lens, "I, Hijikata Kozaburo, was the one who killed my wife Yumi. In the beginning, Nagakura Yumi and I married each other because of their connections so that their careers could be further improved. On the other hand, because I made a lot of money in real estate, I had the funds to help her film. Now she sees that my career is at a low point, and the real estate under my name is losing money every year. She is afraid that I will drag her down, so she came up with the idea How could I agree to this kind of thing by borrowing the trick of this little boy, Okita, to divorce me, and it happened that I needed a lot of money, so I took Yongmei's seal and bought an insurance for Yongmei."

After murdering a large amount of film, Hijikata Kozaburo and Okitaichi as witnesses were taken away by Megure Police Department and Takagi Police Officer.

After the reporters sent the police car away with their cameras, they came back to look for Mao Li, but feared that Mao Li would also be betrayed, Yamazaki took advantage of the reporters to send the police car away, and helped Mao Li away. Fortunately, there are two doors here. ...
