Stay away from Conan

Chapter 724 Michowaki Masahiko’s itinerary

"That's it..."

Listening to Conan's answer, Gao Yuan couldn't help but put a hand on his forehead and began to frown, as if it was too difficult to understand such a result——

it turns out……

Is that so?

If there is indeed a gap of about ten minutes in the fireworks display incident, then it is indeed impossible for Ehara Tokio's falling case to be related to Michowaki Masahiko.

However, due to the information from the Chiba Prefectural Police and his own memory of the original work, Gao Yuan still cannot trust Masahiko Michowaki.

Therefore, Gao Yuan combined what he had just learned from the Chiba Prefectural Police about the successive murders of brown-haired women and the Chiba Prefectural Police's suspicion of Masahiko Michowaki with the death of last night at the fireworks display the day before yesterday. Chiharu Motomoto allegedly took a picture of someone falling into the sea, and informed Conan about the fact that the police had just discovered a policeman who had drowned in the sea.

Suddenly, Conan's expression changed drastically, and he became very shocked and said seriously:

"Is this true? If so, those three incidents are probably not coincidences, and the biggest suspect is Mr. Michowaki... But..."

As he spoke, Conan's tone also became very light. Regarding the current evidence, he seemed to be naming names, and it was impossible for Michiowaki Masahiko to be the murderer.

"That's right. This is the biggest situation we have encountered so far. If the fireworks display incident is still possible, then it is impossible for Ehara Tokio's fallen Dowaki Masahiko to rush back to the hotel when the crime occurred, and it is impossible to commit a crime. "

Gao Yuan's face looked very solemn and said:

"And if I have to say it, how could the fireworks display be completed in just ten minutes? Even if Masahiko Michowaki could ask the deceased to wait in the woods at a specific time, what about other times? How could he complete the murder? Only in this way can we ensure that the deceased will not wander around the fireworks display and see the fact that he is with Sonoko. Moreover, what should we do if the deceased is not punctual? This series of questions makes it possible that Masahiko Michowaki is the murderer. Sexuality is infinitely close to zero..."

"Or maybe the police in Chiba Prefecture made a mistake and after so many years of tracing, they still suspected the wrong person?"

Conan nodded, agreeing with Gao Yuan's words, and thought about this possibility, but in the end, he still couldn't guarantee this conjecture——

"In short, I can't trust Mr. Dowaki now...until the truth is fully revealed."

Helplessly, because of the information from the Chiba Prefectural Police, Conan also showed an expression of embarrassment about the current situation, and then suddenly was shocked——

"Xiaolan!"

Thinking that the person who was chatting with Sonoko might be a serial murderer being targeted by the police, Conan couldn't help but worry about the safety of Xiaolan and the others.

Hearing the worry in Conan's tone, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say:

"I have asked the police to guard the floor where Sonoko and the others live. There should be no danger for the time being. But right now..."

"I know, I will stay by Xiaolan, Sonoko and the others. If Masahiko Michowaki comes to contact Sonoko and the others again, I will do my best to find out his flaws from him!"

Very seriously, Conan nodded vigorously.

"Um."

Gao Yuan nodded, feeling that with Conan beside Xiaolan and the others, and with the attention of the police, their safety should be safe for the time being. However, the situation of the case put them in a dilemma——

If Masahiko Michowaki is the murderer, there is no evidence available to support this.

If Masahiko Michowaki is not the murderer, then what are the reasons for the judgment of the Chiba Prefecture police and the death of the police officer who investigated the murder of the brown-haired woman from Izu?

Is it possible that he has an accomplice?

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan could only consider this aspect——

Since Masahiko Michowaki's alibi cannot be overturned, does he still have an accomplice to help him complete this series of events?

Frowning deeply, Gao Yuan only felt that he was making unwarranted associations. Then he tried to stay calm and asked Conan:

"By the way, when did you meet that Michioki Masahiko? And have you been with him since then?"

Here, Gao Yuan thought it would be better to take a look at the entire itinerary of Masahiko Michowaki.

When Conan heard this, he did not refuse. After thinking for a moment, he began to tell the story of what happened yesterday when he and others met Masahiko Michowaki——

"About noon, when Xiaolan and I were playing on the beach, the man came over to chat with Sonoko and suggested that we have lunch with him.

"Then, we followed him to a small restaurant on the beach for dinner. While eating, he mentioned that he lived in the Izu Princess Hotel and asked us if we wanted to eat at the open-air restaurant here at night."

"Have you come to the outdoor restaurant here for dinner?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan seemed surprised and couldn't help but asked in surprise.

Conan nodded, his expression still serious and said:

"Yes. At about six o'clock in the evening, Michowaki Masahiko drove the three of us to the open-air restaurant of this hotel for dinner. When we ate until about seven o'clock, we continued to sit in his car and arrived. At the fireworks display venue. At that time, he asked us to get out of the car and walk around for a while, while he drove to a nearby parking lot.”

"Leaving the outdoor restaurant here at around seven o'clock?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but start to recall his own trip -

In my impression, when I came to the outdoor restaurant with Maeda Satoshi, Sayama Akiko and the others, it was probably around 7:30 in the evening, which was right after Xiaolan and the others left. It's no wonder that I didn't meet them at that time.

And when I and Sayama Akiko went to the fireworks display, it should be after eight o'clock.

Since we walked there, we walked for about ten minutes on the way to the fireworks display venue. We should have arrived at the fireworks display around 8:30.

Then, around 8:50, I met Xiaolan and others at the fireworks display venue...

"So, how long did it take Masahiko Michowaki to park his car when it was time for the fireworks display?"

Thinking about these time points, Gao Yuan couldn't see anything for the time being. Just listening to Conan's words, Gao Yuan noticed that Michowaki Masahiko was separated from Conan and others for a short time because he had to park the car, so he couldn't help but ask.

"In about ten minutes, he met us at the fireworks display venue. Then, as the crowd gradually became more crowded, at 8:40, we passed by the takoyaki stall where there was a queue. , he offered to help queue up to buy takoyaki alone.”

Conan also simply told in detail the two times when Masahiko Michowaki was not under his eyes during the fireworks display.

"It's only about ten minutes..."

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but murmured doubts——

At that time, after I proposed to send Xiaolan and others back to the hotel, I and others followed Masahiko Michowaki to where he parked his car, which was a walk of about ten minutes. In addition, he had to find Xiaolan and others at the venue. It's almost the same in minutes.

I'm afraid I can't do much with just such a little time...

"By the way. When we were eating at the open-air restaurant, Michowaki Masahiko also left for about ten minutes because he went to the toilet."

Realizing that Gao Yuan was very concerned about Masahiko Michowaki's brief absence, Conan thought of something else and couldn't help but add.
