Judging from the appearance of the deceased's body, it can be ruled out that indiscriminate killings were made with so much effort in arranging the second scene.The deceased was just a high school girl and did not have complex property disputes with other people, so the direction of the police search was finally determined to be a love or vendetta.

Except for the stage, there are no monitors in the Lihai Auditorium, which makes the investigation of the Kanagawa police more difficult.After a blanket search, three suspects who had seen the deceased at the estimated time of death were finally identified.

“上田静子,女,16岁,立海大国中部三年级,网球部经理之一,死者小山初代的好朋友,12:25到12:35去化妆室找过死者;后因为发现有东西落在化妆室,1:35左右返回过化妆室。”

“土屋源弥,男,27岁,立海大校医,一个月前曾在东京综合病院进修;12:40到1:10他去找过死者。”

"Naoji Uehara, male, 17 years old, a first-year high school student at Rikkai University, the president of the art club, and the deceased's boyfriend; he saw the deceased in the dressing room around 1:20 to 1:30."

"What's more--" Yokohama Police Department frowned at the newly released autopsy report, and added: "The time of death was indeed between 1:00 and 2:00, and there were zolpidem and etherflurane in the body of the deceased. Element."

"There are two kinds of drugs, sleeping pills and ecstasy at the same time..." I don't know if he thought of something, but Dazai held his chin with an obscure expression on his face. "Mr. Police Department, please don't tell the suspect that there is a drug in the body of the deceased during the separate interrogation later."

Although somewhat puzzled, the Yokohama Police Department nodded in agreement.The police requisitioned the small dressing room on the first floor as an interrogation room temporarily. While waiting for the police to bring the suspect, Banjing Momozui raised his hand like a good student and said in doubt:

"The time they give is very accurate. Under normal circumstances, will someone write down what time and what time they did in detail?"

"There are people like this." Dazai interrupted: "For example, Kunikida-kun who will make a plan for the day and strictly follow the plan." After speaking, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of Dazai's lips, "When you meet this kind of person, you can't help but want to destroy his plan~"

"Dazai..." Momozui Hani hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a very serious tone: "Do you like Mr. Kunikida?"

"I like this kind of overly serious good guy." Before Banjing Taoshui's face turned green, he answered in a good mood, "Because it's fun to tease."

——It’s too much!Is this man a demon? !

The above is probably the common idea of ​​Conan and Hattori Heiji.

When the knock on the door sounded, the Henggou Police Department glared at them, and warned: "I made an exception to let you listen in, and if you make trouble again, you will all be kicked out." After receiving assurances from several people, the Henggou Police Department coughed lightly , "Come in!"

The first person to come in was a girl in Lihai University uniform.

The girl wore two cute long braids and a few faint freckles on her face, she seemed to be a quiet, introverted and shy character.Her eye circles were red, as if she had cried before, she hesitated when she opened the door, and her face blushed when she saw that everyone in the room was looking at her.

"Yes... I'm sorry..." The first thing she did after entering was to bow and apologize.

"No need to apologize, sit down." Facing the shy little girl, the Yokohama Police Department, who had a ferocious expression on his face, restrained his expression. Although the effect was not obvious, the girl was about to cry under the pressure of his aura.

"Student Shizuko Ueda." The Yokohama Police Department picked up the recording board and quickly got to the point, "According to what you said to the plainclothes earlier, you found the deceased Koyama first generation from 12:25 to 12:35. I want to know that you went to find the deceased do what?"

"It's Uehara-senpai... It's the boyfriend of the first generation. He bought lunch for the first generation, and because he couldn't get away because of something, he entrusted me to deliver it."

"The lunch you're talking about is a bento with tofu boiled pot?"

"Yes." Ueda Shizuko nodded.

"Then when you saw the deceased, was there anything unusual about her?"

"No, no..." Ueda Jingzi tried hard to recall: "As usual, he pulled me to talk about some things about the artist audition, and laughed when he mentioned interesting things, but I still have club activities, stay It won't be too long. If I knew this would happen, I should have stayed with her..." As she spoke, the girl's tears fell.

"My condolences." Officer Henggou paused, and continued to ask: "You said you left something in the dressing room, what is it?"

"It's a wallet." Ueda Shizuko wiped her eyes, took out her wallet from her pocket, and put it on the table in front of the Yokohama Police Department.The Yokohama Police Department checked it out. There were a few small denomination banknotes inside, which together were probably enough to buy a bottle of orange soda in the vending machine.No problem was found, and the Henggou Police Department returned the wallet to the girl. "Was the deceased still in the dressing-room when you returned?"

The girl shook her head, "No, I thought she was going downstairs to perform."

"I saw your finger was bandaged, can you tell me how it hurt?"

"It's in the tennis club..." Ueda Shizuko lowered her head and moved her fingers slightly, "The barbed wire is broken, and I accidentally scratched it."

"That's about it." Police officer Henggou who found nothing suspicious wrote something on the recording board, then raised his head and said, "Thank you for cooperating with the police investigation, the next one—"

Before I finished speaking, I was suddenly interrupted by Conan, "Hey, big sister, you remember the time so clearly, it's amazing, I can only remember what time and what time I do every day, unlike my sister, who can It's accurate to the minute."

"Well... because I am one of the managers of the tennis club." Ueda Shizuko explained: "The tennis club of Lihai University has strict requirements on time, so I have developed the habit of looking at my watch at any time, and because the club has activities Because of this, you must not be late, so..."

The Yokohama Police Department nodded, and was about to call the next one, but was interrupted midway.

"Shizuko-chan, can I call you that?" Seeing the girl blushing and nodding, Dazai raised the corners of his lips, showing a very deceptive and innocent smile, "Can you talk about the deceased, that is, your friend Koyama What kind of person is the first generation?"

"The first generation..." Ueda Shizuko thought for a while, and said: "She is very beautiful, and her personality is straightforward and generous. Many boys like her. She can be regarded as a popular figure in the school. I am completely opposite to her. My personality Introverted, timid and not confident, meeting the first generation is like a sunflower meeting the sun, the one who is completely attracted."

"Is that so." Dazai crossed his hands and fingers on the table, leaned back on the chair leisurely, and said, "Then, for you who are so inconspicuous to be friends with a heartthrob, what do you think?"

"Eh?" The girl's cheeks flushed instantly, but this time it was not because of shyness, but because of anger.She retorted eagerly: "I don't think the choice of friends is so utilitarian. The fact that you can't make popular friends because you are inconspicuous is your discrimination, sir."

Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then Shizuko-chan, what do you think about being called to deliver food like a follower when you are busy at noon?" Seeing the girl's face change, the corners of his lips deepened, "Society Isn’t there an event? Since you’re afraid of being late, why do you have to go back to pick up your wallet? There’s not much money in it, so since you’re a friend, why don’t you just call and ask her to help you put it away? Is it because you don’t want to ask her for help at all? Or are you I have known for a long time that with her character, or with her contempt for you, she won't do anything for you at all?"

"Contemptuous of each other but still in touch with each other, this is the true face of the so-called 'friends' in your heart." His tone was slow, but the last words he said were nothing less than a thunderbolt to the girl, breaking through all the disguises in an instant, blowing her to pieces. "Shizuko-chan, do you like Uehara-kun?"

"You, what are you talking about?! How could I... stop joking!" The girl panicked.

Dazai is like an excellent but bad-natured hunter. After driving the prey to a corner, he teases and seduces the prey, watching the final struggle of the prey within the scope of his permission.

"Hey, don't you like him?" Dazai turned his head and asked Hanjing Momozui, "Momo-chan, if the man you like suddenly asks you to do something for his woman, what will you do?"

"I will refuse." Banjing Taoshui said coldly.

"Oh, Momo-chan really doesn't give me any face." Dazai shook his head with a wry smile, and then said to Shizuko Ueda: "In order to leave a good impression on Uehara-kun of being considerate and helpful, you agreed to his request. It's just that at the stage of completing the task, you have moved some hands and feet, right? Shizuko-chan, it looks like you have blue and black under your eye sockets, haven't you been sleeping well recently?"

"I do not understand what you are saying."

The girl unconsciously fiddled with the corners of her skirt, revealing her nervousness.

"We found your medical records. You suffered from neurasthenia a month ago, and the doctor prescribed zolpidem...that is oral sleeping pills." The Henggou police department flipped through a stack of reports in their hands, "And in the tofu pot we The zolpidem ingredient was found."

"I didn't do it!" Ueda Shizuko denied it, "Although I am dissatisfied with her, I still can't kill her! You have no evidence to say that I—"

"Hi~Hi~" Dazai interrupted suddenly, "Then the last question—who do you think will be the murderer?"

The police and the two young detectives all looked sideways. They wanted to say that Dazai's way of inducing interrogation is totally against the regulations. Another suspect who understands the law will be prosecuted in minutes!

"Who will be the murderer?" Ueda Shizuko frowned, and said with some hesitation: "This kind of question is not easy to answer, right?"

"Then I ask you to answer it as hard as you can." Dazai said strong words in a relaxed tone.

"Well...it must be that person!" The girl bit her lip and said a little uneasy: "Genya Tsuchiya, our school doctor. Once I noticed that he looked at the first generation in a strange way, not like looking at a student, but rather It's like looking at the woman you love..."

After the first suspect was sent away, the Henggou Police Department called the next one.

This time it was a young man in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses who came in.He was tall and tall, with undyed short black hair neatly combed with hairspray, a serious expression, and even a white coat that was ironed without a trace of wrinkles. No matter how he looked, he looked like an outstanding young social elite.

It's just that his expression looks tired, and the blood has faded from his tightly pursed lips, making him a little pale.

"Mr. Tsuchiya Genya, please sit down." The Yokohama Police Department nodded towards the visitor, "You went to find the deceased from 12:40 to 1:10. It seems inappropriate to spend half an hour in a female student's separate dressing room Morality and ethics, may I ask what is your relationship with the deceased?"

The author has something to say: contempt for each other but communicate with each other, and self-deprecating together-this is the true face of the so-called "friends" in the world.
