Conan’s Sin System

After listening to the four people Nojima Eiko, Isaka Akane, Otsubo Keisuke, and Akita Tanizu finished speaking, Mouri Kogoro looked at the four people and said:"I see, according to your statement, after Mr. Atsuo was killed During the period from about 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock when he was suspected of being murdered, the period from around 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock for Mr. Akitaya, the time before Miss Nojima arrived at the sea pipe at 10:50, and the time between Mr. Otsubo and Miss Isaka. Within about an hour when they started their respective actions at 10 o'clock, there was no way to provide an alibi, right?"

Mouri Kogoro's meaning was already very clear. Nojima Eiko, Isaka Akane, Otsubo Keisuke, and Akita Tanizu were all involved. Any presence of evidence could possibly kill Needle Tail Kiyoshi.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Mori.

Hearing this, Akita Tani suddenly spoke up and said,"Who said it was between 9 and 11 o'clock? At 11 o'clock, Needletail was obviously still alive because he still called me.""

"What did you say? You said he called you at 11 o'clock?"

Moori Kogoro, Police Officer Kusuda, and Police Officer Anzai were very shocked. If it is true, then the time of death of the deceased is wrong.

"Yes."

Akita Gu nodded.

"What?"

Eiko Nojima looked at Akita Tanese in surprise. She knew very well when she 'killed' Needle Kiyoshi. This all means that Akita Tanese was lying, but why did he lie? Could it be that this is that person? Arrangement? If so, why should Akitaya listen to that person's arrangement?

When Nojima Eiko was puzzled, Akitaya withdrew and said:"At that time, he called me and said that the ghost of the church was chasing him and wanted me to go He was so anxious to save him that he almost cried, but there was no way there was a ghost in the world. I didn't believe him at all and thought he was talking nonsense, so I hung up the phone. The time was around 11 o'clock, and when I answered the phone, my friend was next to me, and he asked me what was going on."

Mouri Kogoro pondered and said:"Mr. Needletail said that there was a ghost chasing him. Then when he called you, he should have been running away, and it should not have been at the scene."

Akitaya withdrew:"I don't know the specific place, but I don't know what happened. There was a loud echo of his footsteps and voice at that time. Officer Anxi thought for a while and said:"

If there is a place that generates echoes near the scene, then the only one is the humanitarian tunnel."

Officer Kusuda nodded and said,"I remember there is surveillance video over there in the tunnel.""

"I'm going to check it out right now."

Officer Anzai nodded clearly and went forward.

Officer Kusuda said to Kogoro Mori:"Mr. Mori, you did make a call at 11 o'clock, so the time of death of the deceased should be after 11 o'clock."

"If you have ever called."

Moori Kogoro nodded. The electricity had been used, so the time of death of Acupuncture Kiyoji was naturally after 11 o'clock.

"If Acupuncture Kiyoshi's death time was after 11 o'clock, then all four of them would have alibi. This would be too coincidental, and there was also friction on the deceased's right hand...."

Conan pondered to himself, not believing that there was such a coincidence in the world. He even felt that this was a deliberate arrangement by the murderer. The murderer should be one of the four people, Nojima Eiko, Isaka Akane, Otsubo Keisuke, and Akita Tanizu.

Not long after, Officer Anzai came back and informed him of the investigation. The security guard monitoring the surveillance did indeed see Aneetail Kiyoshi running away while making a phone call, as if someone was chasing him. In other words, Needletail Kiyoshi died after 11 o'clock.

It was at this time that Shinichi Takada, who had been doing nothing, suddenly said:"We have all been to the humanitarian tunnel, and I remember that the surveillance camera was hung tilted on the ceiling. Officer Anxi, have you confirmed with the security personnel? Did he see the face of the deceased?"

"Um? Takada, what do you mean?..."

Mouri Kogoro's heart moved when he heard this, and he somewhat understood what Takada Shinichi meant.

Officer Kusuda asked:"Is it possible that the deceased in the tunnel was someone else pretending to be someone else?"

Takada Zhen nodded and said:"It's not impossible, unless the person saw that the deceased's appearance was similar. If they were just dressed the same, then it wouldn't matter. Meaning, the murderer could have taken off the deceased's clothes"

"I'll check again."

Officer Anzai said immediately and left again.

Officer Kusuda and Mouri Kogoro looked at the four people sitting at the desk not far away, Nojima Eiko, Isaka Akane, Otsubo Keisuke, and Akita Tani. They were both thinking. Well, if the surveillance did not capture the appearance of the deceased, it means that the murderer should be among the four of them.

After a while, Officer Anzai came back and told Shinichi Takada that his suspicion was correct, and the security personnel did not see the appearance of the deceased. What he saw was just one person, and that person could be Atsuo Kiyoshi or someone else. This did not mean that Atsuo Kiyoshi was still alive at the time. After confirming this, Officer Kusuda told Nojima Eiko , Akane Isaka, Keisuke Otsubo, and Akita Tani, and told them at the same time that the time of death of Atsuo Kiyoshi remained unchanged, between about 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock. Their respective alibis did not exist, and they were all possible He was the murderer. After hearing this, Akita Tani immediately stood up and said excitedly:"Officer, I didn't lie. Needletail did call me at that time. If you don't believe it, you can ask my friend."

"Don't get excited, Mr. Akitaya, I didn't say you were lying."

Officer Kusuda pressed his hands, signaling Akita Tani to calm down, and then said:"But one thing is certain, the alibi of the four of them are not valid, and they may all be the murderers of the deceased. This is beyond doubt."

Isaka Akane said immediately:"We just had a little dispute with Needletail, there is no need to kill him at all."

"Ms. Isaka, maybe you don’t like what I say, but Ms. Nojima and Mr. Akitaya have reasons to kill Mr. Needletail."

Takada Shinichi suddenly spoke up. After a pause and seeing that the four people did not refute fiercely, he continued:"Mr. I am Miss Nojima's former boyfriend, and the reason why Mr. I am committing suicide is because Mr. Needletail harmed me. It was caused by his car accident. Miss Nojima had no intention of killing anyone before, but from Mr. Needletail's reaction after he came back this time, we can see that he didn't care about the car accident that year. This may completely cause Miss Nojima's Murderous intent. As for Mr. Akitaya, Mr. Needletail wants to acquire your company, and you obviously don’t want to sell the company. It is entirely possible for you to kill Mr. Needletail on impulse."_To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
