My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 804: Everything is self-righteous

"Inspector, the monster balloon and the remote-controlled gun have been found." Yoji Aihara said as he walked in.

"Where did you find it?" Qing Musong asked immediately after hearing this.

Aihara Yoji replied, "There are trash cans in the stairwells on every floor of the main building. These things are stuffed there, between the third and fourth floors."

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately said, "The murderer is indeed using these things!" His reasoning was correct!

"Well, there's one more thing." After putting down the monster balloon, Aihara Yoji took something out of his pocket. "This thing fell on the windowsill of the conference room on the fourth floor of the main building."

Qing Musong took a look and said, "It's a fountain pen."

Moreover, it was a fountain pen that leaked ink. It was still leaking ink when it was placed in the evidence bag.

"I heard from the forensic personnel that this pen did not seem to have been dropped in the past two days. Although it may not be related to the murder case, it was still kept," said Yoji Aihara.

Aoki Matsu looked at the pen that was leaking ink, thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

But the murderer's modus operandi was still missing one last bit.

"Aihara, where is the landline phone without an Internet cable that I asked you to find?" asked Aoki Matsu.

"I'll bring it right away." replied Aihara Yoji.

Aoki Matsu nodded, then pulled Aihara Yoji out of the office door and whispered, "Take the forensic detectives with cameras and check the top of the connecting corridor to see if there are any footprints."

Generally speaking, the top of a building, if it is not used frequently on a daily basis, will be cleaned before the New Year.

Of course, some homes are only cleaned once every few years, and some are never cleaned in their entire lives.

The top of the connecting corridor is probably cleaned once every few years at most.

In this case, there must be dust accumulated on the top of the connecting corridor. In addition, there was moderate rain for about half an hour before, which was enough to wet the accumulated dust, but it was unable to wash the dust away.

If someone walks on the top of the connecting corridor at this time, footprints will definitely be left.

Since the murderer did not take into account the rain, he might not have been able to change his shoes in advance.

Footprints are also one of the evidences recognized by the court.

"Yes." Aihara Yoji responded and quickly asked someone to check.

Aoki Matsu returned to the office.

Conan then showed an expression that said "I understand again".

Aoki Matsu's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that his reasoning was not much different from Conan's.

Not long after, a police officer brought a landline phone.

After Qing Musong took it, he walked to the landline phone on the wall and said, "Let's try now to see if this phone can be moved."

As he spoke, he unplugged the telephone cord from the wall landline phone and replaced it with the extra-long telephone cord he found in Toshio Toshio's office. He connected one end to the interface on the wall and the other end to the landline phone in Aoki Matsu's hand.

"Go next door." Aoki Matsu said.

Then he took the landline phone, pulled the extra-long telephone cord, and went to the office next door.

"Ms. Sunagawa, do you know the internal phone number of this company?" asked Aoki Matsu.

"It's 424." Nanae Sunagawa replied.

Aoki Matsu used the landline phone in his hand, stood in front of the landline phone on the wall, and dialed 424.

A few seconds later, the landline phone on the wall rang, and it showed that the call was from extension number 423.

"It seems that your company's internal telephone number is not determined by the phone, but by the phone line." Qing Musong looked at the crowd while holding the landline phone and said, "You can see clearly that the internal telephone number is determined by the analog signal telephone line connected to the phone."

"This..." Nanae Sunagawa vaguely understood something.

Maori Kogoro frowned and said, "It does show the inside line 423."

Aoki Matsu said, "This telephone line is long enough to be pulled directly from Mr. Toyama's office through the window to the main building. As long as we separate the landline phone and the telephone line once again after the crime, and then pull the telephone line over from the window of the annex, we can complete the crime. Maruta, have someone try it."

"Yes!" Maruta Ayumi took the landline phone from Aoki Matsu's hand and called a few police officers for cooperation.

Everyone returned to Toshio Higashiyama's office. Maruta Ayumi first separated the telephone line from the landline phone, and asked someone to take the landline phone to the main building. Then he tied a heavy object to one end of the telephone line, and after the window of the conference room on the fourth floor of the main building was opened, he threw it out of the window of the conference room on the fourth floor of the main building.

Although he failed twice in the middle, Maruta Ayumi quickly adjusted himself and asked someone to stand on the top of the connecting corridor near the main building to throw the ball into the window of the conference room on the fourth floor.

During this process, Yoji Aihara also called.

At the top of the connecting corridor, there was indeed a row of clear footprints from the main building to the other building.

They are taking pictures and extracting.

"It seems that this telephone line is long enough!" Qing Mu Song looked at Dong Shan Jun Nan and said, "Mr. Dong Shan, your alibi is now invalid. I saw a photo of a bow and arrow hanging above your office. Mr. Dong Shan, you must be an archery enthusiast."

Dongshan Junnan was already very nervous at this time. Anyone with eyes could see that his face was covered in sweat and he couldn't wipe it all off with a handkerchief.

In response to Aoki Matsu's question, Toshio Higashiyama remained silent.

But Nanae Sunagawa looked at Toshio Toshio with a complicated expression and said, "Mr. Toshio, I learned archery when I was a student and I even won a prize in the metropolitan competition. You are very skilled."

"Then it would be easier to tie a telephone wire to the arrow and shoot it from here." Aoki Matsu looked at Toshio Toshio and said, "Mr. Toshio, don't you agree?"

Dongshan Junnan finally reacted at this time, and asked with sweat all over his forehead: "What do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Toyama, this is how you killed Mr. Takahata. First, connect your office phone to the landline phone in the conference room on the fourth floor of the building. Because of the corridor, no one will notice that there is a telephone line running across it.

Then you drugged Mr. Takahata and made him fall asleep, and arranged everything. When the elevator was repaired at 7 o'clock, you deliberately called Ms. Sunagawa to pretend that you had been staying in the annex. Then when Detective Mori called the internal line as you requested.

You answer the phone and use the monster balloon trick to make Mr. Takahata fall down. Next, you connect the phone line as it was originally, and hide the remote control gun and the recycled monster balloon in the trash can.

He hurried back to his office, retrieved the extra-long telephone line, and then pretended to be calm as he reunited with Ms. Sunakawa and appeared in front of everyone together.

"Please wait a moment!" At this time, Dongshan Junnan stopped wiping and looked at Qing Musong and said, "Excuse me, how did I get back to the annex?"

"That's true. To go back to the annex, we have to pass by the elevator that is under maintenance," said Nanae Sunagawa.

Qing Musong smiled and said, "You don't need to go past the elevator. You just need to run out of the window on the third floor of the main building and run back along the top of the corridor connecting the two buildings. This way you won't be seen by the staff who are repairing the elevator."

"All this is just your speculation. Do you have any evidence? Tell me!" Dongshan Junnan became anxious and used his ultimate move - asking for evidence.

"Of course." Qing Musong looked at him and said calmly, "I have two more."

"Two!" Dongshan Junnan was a little surprised.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Conan was also a little surprised. What evidence did the police find but didn't tell him? [Damn it!]

"You didn't expect it to rain here at 7:, so you left two pieces of evidence. The first one is that you outsmarted yourself. You thought of using the connecting corridor to run back to the annex after killing someone.

But you didn't expect that because of the rain, the dust on the top of the connecting corridor was wet, so after you ran past, there was a row of clear footprints on the top of the connecting corridor running from the main building to the annex. In such a short time, Mr. Dongshan, you probably didn't have time to change your shoes. "

Conan suddenly understood what was going on.

Because he had been staying in the office and it was dark outside and he couldn't see many things clearly, Conan didn't notice any footprints on the top of the connecting corridor.

Qing Mu Song looked at Dong Shan Jun Nan whose face changed drastically and continued: "The second piece of evidence is your shirt collar. Because it is behind you, you probably didn't notice that the area behind your shirt collar is not only covered with sweat stains, but also with ink from pen leakage.

The pen that leaked ink was found on the windowsill of the meeting room on the fifth floor of the main building. It was raining, and the ink that flowed out mixed with the rainwater from the windowsill and dripped down. When you used the remote control gun to shoot the monster balloon and leaned out of the window, the ink dripped onto your collar.

Upon hearing this, Dongshan Junnan touched the back of his collar with trembling hands, and then saw the blue marks on his fingers stained by ink.

At this time, Dongshan Junnan finally couldn't hold it anymore. After clenching his hands, his knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground, with his head lowered and his hands on the ground.

"I did it, no doubt about it." Dongshan Junnan admitted, and then began to explain the reason for the murder. "Because my brother's small factory was not doing well, I specially introduced him to our company. The company placed a large number of orders to purchase props for activities and performances, and my brother was very happy.

But Gao Fan actually took advantage of my brother's weakness and asked for an improper kickback. My brother, who had a strong sense of justice, rejected his request. I didn't expect that he would refuse to accept products from my brother's factory. "

"But, in this case, can't we just sue him for breach of contract?" Nanae Sunagawa asked with some confusion.

Why go to the point of killing someone?

"Takahata had anticipated the possibility of this happening and tampered with the contract in advance, which resulted in my brother being burdened with a lot of debt... and eventually committing suicide." Toyama Toshio said while crying.

Mao Lilan heard this and said with some pity: "How could it be..."

"So I killed him," said Toshio Toshio. "I used the props that the guy had set up himself. I thought it would go smoothly. I thought I could rest assured as long as I had the famous detective Kogoro Mori as a witness."

At this point, Dongshan Junnan suddenly said angrily: "If it weren't for the rain..."

"No, even if it doesn't rain, I can solve this case just as well as Detective Mori." Aoki Matsu looked at Toshio Toshio who was kneeling on the ground and beating the ground angrily and said, "It is indeed a pity that your brother committed suicide, but this tragic thing happened. It is indeed wrong for Mr. Takahata to ask for improper kickbacks, but it is more of your own self-righteousness.

Your brother's factory is obviously not as good as other factories, so it has not received orders from the company before, and its business is not doing well. But in this case, you think you are an important employee of the company and the company will not refuse your request, so you introduce your brother's factory to the company.

You have been in this company for so long, don't you know who Mr. Takahata is? You haven't heard anything about him. I think you must have heard about him. But you are still self-righteous, thinking that you are very capable. The company can't do without you. Not only will it not refuse your request, but it will not play tricks on the contract signed with your brother. So you didn't even sign the most basic contract and find a lawyer to review it.

You are still self-righteous about this murder method. You are now kneeling on the ground and crying loudly, not because you have realized your mistake, but because you regret that your method was too crude and was discovered by the police and the Maori detective. "

If Toshio Toshio didn't cry and just said that he was avenging his brother, Aoki Matsu would still look up to him.

He was crying now because his "self-righteousness" was exposed by Aoki Song and he was found to be completely vulnerable.

Let’s talk about taking kickbacks.

In fact, it is very common for people in companies to take kickbacks.

Aoki Matsu has worked in both of his lives, so he is very familiar with the workplace.

If someone in the company received a kickback, it might be possible to conceal it once or twice, but it would be impossible to conceal it if it happened too many times. There will always be a "big mouth" who will talk about it privately. The amount may not be known, but it is certain that someone has received a kickback.

In some serious cases, everyone in the company knows that he has accepted kickbacks, but as long as he can bring more profits to the company, the boss will not only not fire him, but will win him over and turn a blind eye to him.

Apart from anything else, within a few days, everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department knew that Aoki Matsu accepted the house given by the self-righteous old man Tetsuji Tozawa.

But Aoki Matsu asked Odagiri Toshiro about this matter and only accepted it after he got his consent. In addition, Aoki Matsu is very good at solving cases. He has solved many major cases and made many people famous. He is also from the Kinbiao Group and will become a leader in the future.

So the fact that he bought a house did not make a big deal in the Metropolitan Police Department. Everyone was just envious but not jealous.

Other police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department have also received "windfall gains" to varying degrees.

For example, Inspector Megure would have people come to give him gifts during the holidays, but they would not be very straightforward things like cash and gold, but some slightly higher-end daily necessities and food.

Based on two lifetimes of work experience, Aoki Matsu didn't believe that Toshio Toshio had worked in this company for more than ten years but didn't know anything about Takahata Fujihiko and had never heard any gossip about him. He was his boss and they had been working together for more than ten years.

Even if he didn't know, his brother's small factory, which was obviously not as good as other factories, was approved by the other party to purchase props from them.

Why would the other party approve it? Didn’t he ever think about the reason?

It's all just self-righteousness.
