On Saturday, March 3rd, at the K3 Hotel near Global Studios in this flower ward, Osaka City, the scene of the incident.

Listening to Hattori's talk about the phone call that Ed answered, the Otaki Police Department said: "This phone number is displayed, the area code is American, our police called to confirm, the phone was answered by Mr. Ed's boss, he said that he called Mr. Ed to ask him to leave, because Mr. Ed is very rude to disrupt other people's parties like this, which seriously affects the company's image." ”

Maori asked, "Is this true?"

The Otaki Police Department said, "They shouldn't have to lie. ”

"The third question is, why is Mr. Ed here, and the lights are not on," Hattori said. ”

"Of course, I met people here in private. Yuan Zi said, "As for not turning on the lights, since we met in private, of course we can't turn on the lights, so we won't be recognized." ”

"No, Garden, they played Scrabble and turned off the room, but the lights in the hallway should always be on, so as soon as this person opens the door, he can see the person he has made an appointment, so there is no need to turn off the lights at all. Mei Daiko said.

"Ah, wait, don't you think it's a coincidence?" said to Ye, "Mr. Ed agreed not to turn on the lights when he met with someone, and the hotel was going to hold a light-on spelling event, and then Mr. Ed was killed." ”

"I see. Maori laughed, "This murderer must have known in advance that the hotel would turn on the lights and spell the wording." ”

"I'm going to have people check out how many people know about it. The Otaki Police Department said, and then instructed the officers to investigate.

Hattori glanced at Conan, who was silent, "Fourth question, have you noticed, the deceased's right thumb and index finger and middle finger are open, the ring finger and index finger are rolled up, and the left hand is on the belt. ”

"Ah, I see, this must be death information. Maori said happily, "The belt refers to the belt that the champion wears around his waist after his victory, which means that the prisoner is former heavyweight champion Ricarruto Barrera." ”

Yuan Zi asked, "Then how do you explain the shape of his fingers?"

"That's the professional Recadiz, who has won the league title with three teams he's played for," Maori said. ”

"I also know that he went to high school for three years. Mei Daiko smiled.

Maori said, "Okay, that's Mike Nord who plays baseball, and that's what the pitcher uses when he pitches," and then said excitedly, "Oh yes, he must have grabbed the ball with one hand and the belt with the other, so this death message is about him, and the murderer is not wrong." ”

Hattori said, "Wrong, this death message is about Eight." ”

"Eight?" asked the garden, "what does this have to do with Eight?"

Hattori said: "That Ed said he likes to eat sushi, and his right finger is exactly the finger shape of eating sushi, and his left hand holding the belt refers to BAND, and there is a code in the sushi restaurant that is only used among the staff, and one of the codes for eight is BAND." ”

He Ye said: "If you say so, the murderer is Recadis wearing the No. 8 jersey." ”

Conan exclaimed, "It's definitely not Recadis, it's still suspicious." ”

"And how do you explain this death message?" Hattori said, "and judging by the bloodstains, I'm sure he was like this after his death." ”

Sonoko said, "Wait, Hattori, who knows if what sushi code you said is true or false." Then he asked, "Ran, Midaiko, do you know?"

Lan shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"I don't know. Mei Daiko asked, "Brother, is there such a thing?"

"I don't know. "But I know that unless the deceased wrote it down directly, even if the sushi restaurant had such a rule, the implied death information would not be direct evidence." ”

Lan asked, "Conan, what did you just say was suspicious?"

Conan asked, "Sister Lan, I remember that the three of them appeared on the balcony within a few seconds after the lights came on, didn't they?"

"Yes. Lan said.

Conan said, "So, Ray wasn't in this room when the gunshots rang out, because he couldn't run from this room to that room." ”

In this way, it seems that the three Lei are not suspicious. The Otaki Police Department breathed a sigh of relief, "Just let them go back, their agent is very difficult." ”

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait, I have a question," Yamazaki said, "Mr. Ed is lying in the middle of the room, facing the door, according to the procedure of knocking on the door, after the murderer knocks on the door, Mr. Ed and the murderer will say a few words, and then invite the murderer into the door, and then the murderer will wait for Mr. Ed to come to the position where he is lying before moving, which means that it will take at least ten seconds." ”

Conan said, "So, Ray is definitely not the murderer. ”

Maori asked, "Otaki Police Department, are you sure that the time of the deceased's death was when the gunshots rang out?"

"Well, that's not for sure, the exact time of death won't be known until after the autopsy. The Otaki Police Department said.

Yamazaki said, "With all due respect, with current technology, the time of death can also determine an approximate time, and if the real time of death is very close to the time when the gunshots rang out, then it will be difficult for you to determine for sure." ”

"Okay," said the Otaki Police Department helplessly, "I'll take someone to make a note of everyone." ”

Mei Daiko smiled, "Ha, I think we can go for supper." ”

After that, Mori, Ran, Sonoko, Yamazaki, Maidako, Conan, Kazuha, and Hattori went to the restaurant for supper, and Conan and Hattori quickly finished eating and left. ……

The last lit room of Recadis.

Conan laughed after a few circles with Hattori, "You see there's no mechanism here that allows Ray to kill Ed while lighting the lights here, so Ray must have been in this room at the time." ”

"Don't forget," Hattori said, "Ray had plenty of time before the lights came on. ”

Conan asked, "And how do you explain the gunshots?"

Hattori said, "It must have been using a tape recorder or something." ”

Conan asked rhetorically, "The police didn't find anything like that, did they?"

Hattori asked, "Then how do you explain that the sink is wet?"

Conan asked rhetorically, "Do you think Ray washed away the gunpowder reaction here?"

"Isn't that okay?" Hattori said, "the smoke reaction on his body is very clear, and he has plenty of time before we run up to the scene." ”……
