Chapter 636: Worried Girl

January 5, Tuesday, afternoon, at Dr. Ali's home.

After hearing what Haibara Ai said, Dr. Ali smiled and said, "Ask my friends at Nanyang University about that kind of thing." Then he called his friend and asked for the address and phone number of Professor Masami Hirota, and then He dialed Professor Hirota's home phone number.

"Hello, I'm Dr. A Li, I'm..." Dr. A Li looked at Hui Yuanai.

"Miyano Akemi." Haibara Ai said.

Akemi Miyano! Conan was taken aback.

"I'm a friend of Ms. Miyano Akemi. I found a floppy disk missing during the New Year's cleaning. I remembered that I accidentally sent it to Ms. Akemi. I remember she mentioned that she sent you all the floppy disks. That floppy disk has some meaning to me, and I want to get it back." Dr. A Li asked, "I wonder when it will be convenient for you?"

"Oh, it's Mingmei's friend. I do have a strange floppy disk here." Professor Hirota laughed, and then hiccupped.

"That's right, that's the one." Dr. Ali asked, "Then can we go and get that floppy disk now?"

"No problem," Professor Hirota said with a smile, "just wait for two or three guests to come, and you'd better come after that."

Dr. Ali asked: "Then can we visit in three hours?"

"Three hours? Yes." Professor Hirota said.

"Then I'll see you then." Dr. Ali said with a smile.

After Dr. Ali hung up the phone, Conan called back to the Mori Detective Agency.

"This is the Mori Detective Agency. I am the famous detective Mori Kogoro. Do you need any help?" Mori asked skillfully.

Conan Khan came down, "It's me, Uncle." Then he moved the receiver away from his ear.

"Bastard!" Maori yelled, "What time is it, and you don't go home after school, where are you now?"

"I'm at Dr. Ali's house. I'm going out with Dr. Ali at night, and I won't go back at night. When Sister Lan comes back from school, please tell her uncle." Conan said, and then hung up quickly without waiting for Maori to yell at him. Get on the phone, "Really, isn't there a caller ID?"

"Ha," Huibara said with a sad smile, "Little children have a good life."

"Thanks to you." Conan said angrily, "You will experience it in the future."

"Okay, let's go." Dr. A Li said, "Shizuoka County is really far away. I don't know if we can get there in three hours."...

On the way, in Dr. Ali's car.

Glancing at Haibara Ai who was lying on the back seat and looking back from the rear window, Conan in the passenger seat whispered to Dr. Ali who was driving: "Doctor, you can't be careless with that woman."

Dr. Ali asked, "Does that woman mean mourning?"

"Although she said that she escaped from the organization, she didn't tell us about it. She didn't answer a word when I asked her just now. Although what the guy said just now doesn't sound like a lie, after all There is no need for the organization to send someone like her to approach me." Conan said, "But I don't trust her."

"Uh, this, you're a little late." Dr. Ali smiled, "At least she will live with me until she reaches adulthood. Yingli called at noon and said that the preliminary procedures have been completed. If there is no accident, Ai will be my family in the future.

"

"What?" Conan was taken aback, "When did you meet her?"

"In the early morning of the New Year." Dr. A Li said, "I was woken up by Yamazaki's phone call when I was fast asleep."

"In the early hours of the New Year?" Conan frowned, "What is Yamazaki doing in Futtsu City?"

"How do I know this?" Dr. A Li said, "I took Ai to the Mei Dai Restaurant and asked Miko to help me." Then he said, "I wanted to find a chance to tell you, but you just happened to go to Hawaii."

"I see." Conan said. ...

At night, near Hirota Masami's house.

At Haihara Ai's suggestion, Dr. Ali parked the car two streets away, and then walked to Hirota Masami's house with Conan and Huihara Ai.

"Why do you have to park the car so far away?" Dr. Ali complained.

"My sister taught me that you must be careful when you encounter things related to the organization." Hui Yuanai said.

"Will they come too?" Conan asked.

"I don't know." Hui Yuanai said, "But the organization should have a record of me sending things to my sister." Then Conan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Maybe," Conan said, and then changed his words, "It's nothing." At the same time, he thought, maybe it's this floppy disk... It's better not to let her know about it.

Around 7:10 p.m., Masami Hirota’s house

After Dr. A Li rang the doorbell, a fat middle-aged woman came out and answered the door.

"Good evening." Dr. Ali said.

"It's Mr. Ali, I'm Toshiko Hirota," Toshiko Hirota smiled, "I've already heard about you from my husband, please come in, please come in."

"Excuse me." Dr. Ali said, and then changed shoes with Conan and Haibara Ai.

Hirota Toshiko smiled and said, "My husband is in the study, I'll take you there."

"Thank you very much." Dr. Ali asked, "Have all the guests gone back?"

"I just came back from a visit." Hirota Toshiko said with a smile, "They should all be gone."

"That's good." Dr. Ali said.

While talking, the study arrived, Hirota Toshiko pushed the door but did not open it, and no one answered when he knocked on the door, "It's strange, what the hell are you doing in there, and you locked the door."

"Help me, doctor." Conan said looking at the window on the door, and then climbed up with the help of Dr. Ali, and found that it was also closed. Then he looked into the room through the window and was immediately surprised. In a mess, a middle-aged man was crushed under a bookcase, and there was a pool of blood near his head.

Conan jumped down from the door frame and asked Toshiko Hirota eagerly, "Where's the spare key for this room?" After hearing Toshiko Hirota said that there was no spare key, he greeted Dr. Ali and asked him to help him open the door.

"Husband!" Seeing the scene in the study, Toshiko Hirota exclaimed and ran in, touched Professor Hirota's breath with trembling hands, and then burst into tears.

"Doctor, call the police." Conan began to check the scene, and Haibara Ai turned over the computer table, then turned on the computer, stood on the chair, tapped the keyboard with his fingertips, and quickly checked.

Not long after, Hui Yuanai turned off the computer and jumped down, saying to Conan: "All the floppy disks are gone, there are no travel photos in the computer, and there is nothing we were looking for."

"Did they do it?" Conan said.

"Impossible." Hui Yuanai said, "If it burns here, it's possible they did it."

"Why?" Conan asked.

"Although the data on the computer's hard drive has been deleted, it can still be recovered." Hui Yuanai said, "It's too conspicuous to take the hard drive away. It is reasonable for an accidental fire to burn down the hard drive."

"I see." Conan said.

Ten minutes later, the Henggou Police Department of Jinggang County led a team over, and after ordering their subordinates to start work, they asked Hirota Toshiko and Dr. A Li about the situation.

Hirota Toshiko said: "I went to a friend's house to pay New Year's greetings around four o'clock in the afternoon, and came back around seven o'clock in the evening, and then Dr. Ali came over, and then I took him to the study, and then found that the door could not be opened, and then that The child climbed onto the top of the door, and then he and Dr. A Li knocked open the door...”

"So that's how it is." Henggou Police Department asked, "Do you know Dr. Ali?"

Hirota Toshiko said: "I met him for the first time today. He called in the afternoon, so I know his name."

"So, how many visitors are there today?" Henggou Police Department asked.

"Many people came to pay New Year's greetings today. My husband is a university professor, a former student, a current student, and friends," said Toshiko Hirota. "I still ate here at noon and drank a lot of wine."

"So, after you left, who has been here?" Henggou Police Department asked.

"I heard from my husband that there seem to be three or four guests including this Mr. Ari." Hirota Toshiko said, "By the way, when I left, I ran into Mr. Hoshiya and Hiroshi. Students, who are engaged in securities, others don’t know about it.”

"Do you have his phone number?" Henggou Police Department asked.

"Yes." Hirota Toshiko said.

"Then you call him immediately." Henggou Police Department said, and then asked Dr. Ali, "So, why are you here?"

"A friend of mine accidentally sent my floppy disk to Professor Hirota. I just came to Shizuoka Prefecture to play and retrieve that floppy disk by the way." Dr. Ali said, "In short, I have nothing to do with this incident , there will never be a fool who brings two children to kill people."

"That's true." The Henggou Police Department said, and then looked at Conan and asked with some surprise, "You are by Mr. Maori's side, so Mr. Maori is also here?"

"No, no." Dr. A Li said, "I brought them here alone this time."

"That's it," Henggou Police Department said, "It's a pity."

At this time, a forensic officer reported, "Police, you can go in now."

"How is it? Is it a secret room?" Henggou Police Department asked.

The forensics staff smiled and said, "It's an authentic secret room."

"Secret room?" Hirota Toshiko asked, "What is that?"

"The murder in the secret room is also called an impossible crime." Conan said excitedly.

"What!" Hirota Toshiko was taken aback.

After entering the room, the Henggou Police Department said to the forensic personnel: "Tell me about the situation."

The forensic officer said: "All the doors and windows here are locked well. If it is like this when you come in, then this is a standard secret room."

"Have you touched anything since you came in?" Henggou Police Department asked Hirota Toshiko and Dr. Ali.

"No, no." Toshiko Hirota and Dr. Ali said together.

"There are no fingerprints on the murder weapon. It is a decoration. There are no fingerprints to say that it has been wiped in the New Year. But there are no fingerprints on the handle inside the door, and there is only a set of fingerprints on the handle outside the door. You don't need to test it to know that it belongs to Mrs. Hirota. "The forensic officer said, "So I believe it is a secret room."

The Henggou Police Department said: "That's right, someone killed Professor Hirota and then wiped off the fingerprints, otherwise, there would be no fingerprints on the handle on the inside of the door, and there wouldn't be only one set of fingerprints on the handle on the outside of the door. "

"There is also a landline phone, which is turned upside down and buckled on the ground. There is a book on it, and there are four phone records in it. A person named Bai Cang made two calls, and a person named Morioka made two calls. Phone, I think that Baicang's phone is very strange, you will know it after hearing it." The forensic officer said, "Also, there is no fingerprint on the fixed phone."

"That is to say, the murderer did not know why he touched the landline." Henggou Police Department asked, "Then where is the key?"

"The key is under a hard-shell notebook in front of the landline, about two meters away from the door. It is speculated that the key was sent in through the crack in the door, but how did the key get in and how did it get under the notebook? That's your problem." The forensic officer smiled, "That's all for now."

Police Officer Henggou asked, "Wait, what's the time of death?"

The forensics staff said: "The air conditioner here is very high, and it is difficult to determine the death time of the deceased. The result will only be available after an autopsy. For reference, it should be pushed forward by about three hours, that is, after four o'clock in the afternoon."

Police officer Henggou said angrily: "If you say it, it means you didn't say it."

"So I didn't say it just now." The forensic officer laughed.

Officer Henggou listened to the phone recording, and then asked: "Ms. Hirota, Mr. Shiraicang and Mr. Morioka are..."

"Shirakura should be my husband's current student, called Shirakura Yang." Hirota Toshiko said, "Morioka is Morioka Michio, a veterinarian who often comes to play chess with my husband."

"Do you have their phone numbers? Please call and inform them to come over." Police Officer Henggou said. ...
