Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mori and Minatsuki Kamiya are now in the lounge of Tsukinoki Hideki, the owner of the security company.

Conan and the others were blatantly peeking at the lounge door.

Officer Megure said to Tsukinoki Hideki: "The lecture will be postponed. I am very sorry for the trouble. I hope you will cooperate."

Tsukinoki Hideki nodded and said, "I understand, but what should I do now..."

Maori Kogoro asked: "What's wrong?"

Tsukinoki Hideki answered awkwardly: "Well... I am honored to be invited to participate in this interview, but I have other arrangements after that and can't wait for an extra hour. Besides, the police have already confirmed that I have an alibi, right?"

Maori Kogoro replied: "Yes, that's right."

Tsukinoki Hideki stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go first then."

Officer Megure stopped him and said, "But you only have an alibi for the murder of Mr. Kenichiro Inogoshi. Although Mr. Reizei has confessed to the murder of Ms. Hishida Junko, the time of the crime has not been confirmed yet. So you can't leave here for the time being, Mr. Tsukinoki."

"Officer Megure!"

As soon as Officer Megure finished speaking, Officer Takagi came to Officer Megure excitedly and said, "We have figured out the time of the crime!"

Conan was slightly surprised when he heard Officer Takagi say that he had figured out the time of the crime.

"No matter what, I just couldn't accept it. She looked down on the performance of her deceased former boss and despised her father's behavior. So I hoped she could understand my painstaking efforts and wanted to continue talking to her there.

But she...she said I was too annoying and told me not to go to her anymore, so I got angry and used my crutches to push her over the railing, and she fell to her death. "

In the lounge where Reizui Shigekichi was being held, Reizui Shigekichi recounted his mental journey in killing Hishida Junko.

Kamiya Minazuki looked at Reizumi Mokichi with a subtle expression and said, "You are such a weird old man. You are just an employee, and you are even retired. Why are you so excited? Are you so emotional? The company is my home? This kind of talk is specifically to persuade you, the slaves, to work hard. If you believe this, then you are such a fool."

Reizumi Mokichi's face suddenly became distorted, and it was obvious that Kamiya Minetsu had hit a sore spot.

Conan and Haibara Ai looked at Kamiya Minazuki speechlessly. She was really skilled at poking people's lungs.

Officer Gao Mu said quickly: "Okay, let's go to the monitoring room. The time of the crime is clearly displayed in the surveillance."

Now it was the turn of Officer Megure and his men to have their lungs poked. Kamiya Minatsuki said in surprise, "Oh? Surveillance footage? That's something rare for you police officers. We need to go check it out."

In the monitoring room.

There are two pictures displayed on the screen, one is the picture of Junko Hishida entering the crime scene, and the other is the picture of Shigekichi Reizumi leaving the crime scene.

Officer Takagi pointed to the two times above and said, "Please look here, and here."

The footage of Junko Hishida is at 14:45, and the footage of Mokichi Reizumi is at 14:55.

Seeing this time, Inspector Megure asked Inspector Takagi: "I remember that Mr. Inokoshi was killed at 2:50 pm, right?"

Officer Takagi nodded: "Yes, the victim's pocket watch was damaged by the murder weapon, and the hands just stopped at 2:50."

Officer Megure pinched his chin and thought, "That means the person who killed Mr. Inogoshi Kenichiro was not Mr. Reizei, which means we need to find another murderer. This is too coincidental. It's really troublesome."

Maori Kogoro said seriously, "I think this is more than just a problem. Officer Megure, have you forgotten? The two murders happened at almost the same time. When investigating Mr. Igoe's murder, we checked the alibis. Except for Mr. Reizei, everyone else has an alibi and is innocent."

Everyone in the monitoring room had a solemn expression.

But Kamiya Minatsuki's eyes are now looking at Tsukuba Mei.

Because this person seems to have been following Conan and Haibara Ai for a long time.

The other two staff members with Mei Tsukuba did not follow. She was the only one following Conan and Haibara Ai, and she seemed quite interested in the two cases.

This Mei Tsukuba is a little strange.

In the corridor of the theater.

The boss of the event company, Kakuhazu Naoya, asked Ujimori Yusaku in shock: "Even Hishida was killed, is that true, manager? And the murderer turned out to be the former manager, Mr. Reizei?"

Ujimori Yusaku nodded: "It's true."

Staff member Furui Jibao asked, "Did he also kill Mr. Inokoshi?"

Ujimori Yusaku shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Kakuhazu Naoya was also surprised: "It's not him? Then what's going on?"

A-Kousuke said with some fear: "Could it be that there is another murderer here? If the police don't catch the murderer, won't we all be in danger?"

Ujimori Yusaku comforted them and reminded them: "Don't worry, we have the famous detective Kogoro who is sleeping, and his apprentice Kamiya Minatsuki, the savior of Shibuya. Don't worry, they will definitely solve the case, so now you just need to keep the guests safe, okay? Don't tell anyone about the case, the police will come forward to explain when the time comes!"

Amagi Kosuke agreed: "Okay, I understand."

Furui Norihiko also replied: "Then I will go and prepare right away... Hey, by the way, where is Mei?"

...

Conan and Haibara Ai were walking together on their way to Kenichiro Inogoshi's lounge.

Huihara Ai checked the time on her phone and said to Conan beside her: "What should I do? It's too late. The football game has already started."

Conan said helplessly, "I can't help it. No matter what, we can't leave now. There are only 30 minutes left before Uncle's speech starts. If I let Uncle and Kamiya mess around here, it's very likely that things will become more complicated. Kamiya may even find someone who looks like the murderer and torture him into confessing. He has done this before."

Huiyuan Ai frowned and said: "That's true, but you have to think about how to explain it to those children."

Conan turned his head slightly with a guilty conscience: "Well, I'll leave this to you."

Huihara Ai felt troubled: "Really!"

After arriving at Kenichiro Igoe's lounge, Conan said to the guard at the door: "Excuse me, Uncle Kogoro and Brother Kamiya asked me to come over and take a look."

"Ah good."

The guard let Conan and Haibara Ai open the door and go in without any suspicion or precaution.
