Chapter 1041: Power Outage at the Escalator Entrance
Monday, February 18, before evening, on the eighth floor of the building where the site is located.
After Kuniyoshi Fumita left, Officer Nakata continued to count the number of people, and found several people who did not have an alibi, but in Conan's opinion, except for Kuniyoshi Fumita, the names of the others did not match the death information.
Conan wanted to go to the small park that Kuniji Wentai said to have a look, but Lan was afraid that Conan would run around and grab Conan's hand, and Conan had no way to break free for a while, so he had to wait until Maori came.
At this time, a police officer came to inform that the surveillance video was ready to be watched, so Officer Nakata asked everyone to go downstairs to watch, but the murderer's face was not photographed in the picture, and the murderer wearing a black knitted hat and a wide yellow trench coat kept his head down, and he couldn't see his height and body shape.
Officer Nakata questioned the people at the scene, and it turned out that only someone saw the killer running out of the building, and no one noticed his appearance.
At this time, the police who went out to investigate came back to report that people from a nearby beverage store said that the deceased and a man wearing a black knitted hat and a wide yellow trench coat had been sitting on two adjacent tables in the store with their backs, but the man in the knitted hat deliberately avoided people, and neither the store manager nor the waiter saw his face.
At this point, the investigation was over, and Officer Nakata announced to the people at the scene that they could go back after registering their names and contact information.
At this time, Maori's voice came from outside, saying that he knew who the murderer was, so that the reporters guarding outside rushed to ask questions.
Officer Nakata went out and led Mori and a young man with a bag through the cordon into the building, and Conan could see clearly that it was the man he had seen earlier in the maintenance room who had accidentally made a mistake and caused the power outage.
Uncle Maori didn't know about this incident, how could it be possible to solve this incident? Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, it must be Yamazaki, this guy is sneaking away again. ……
Push a little before the time, on the other side, outside the maintenance room.
Seeing Yamazaki leading her to the maintenance room, Mei Daiko asked suspiciously, "Brother, what are we doing here again?"
"Isn't it strange?" said Yamazaki, "and there was a power outage during the incident, so while a coincidence cannot be ruled out, an accident cannot be ruled out either." ”
Mei Daiko said: "Ah, that means that the maintenance man lied, then he and the murderer are complicit." ”
"I don't know," Yamazaki said, "I have to ask before I can tell." ”
While talking, Yamazaki and Midaiko went to the maintenance room, knocked on the door and went in to find that Fujino Yushi was not there, and after asking, they learned that Fujino Yushi had gone out after they had just arrived, and now they don't know where to go.
Yamazaki and Midaiko came out of the maintenance room, and when they came to the door, they saw that a cordon had been set up, and they were only allowed to enter and exit, so they went around to the back and found a window open, and it was Yushi Fujino outside, who was leaving from the dark alley.
Yamazaki and Midako go out the window to follow Yushi Fujino and find him meeting a man at the bus stop and taking a bag.
After the man left, Yushi Fujino was holding his bag and preparing to leave on the bus, when Yamazaki and Midaiko came up and called out to him.
"You're Mr. Fujino, aren't you?" said Yamazaki, "if it's convenient, please come with us." ”
"The bus is coming, it's not available. Yushi Fujino refused.
"I want to make a deal with you. Yamazaki gave Fujino Yushi 10,000 yen, "This is a deposit." ”
"This ......," Fujino hesitated.
"That's enough. Midaiko stuffed another 40,000 yen into Fujino Yushi's hand.
"Okay. Fujino Yushi pinched the money and said, "But not too long, I still have business." ”
"Soon. Yamazaki said, and then led the way to a nearby dark alley.
"It's good right here. Fujino asked, "What do you want to do with me, and how much can you give me?"
"Money is good to say. "We want to know why you left the building without power?"
Fujino Yushi said, "That's me accidental. ”
Yamazaki asked, "Do you think the police will believe you?"
"Police, police?" asked Fujino Yushi, "why are the police looking for me?"
"You know about the killing, and it happened when the power went out," Yamazaki asked, "what do you think the police would think of you?"
Mei Daizi said: "The murderer's accomplice. ”
"No, no, I'm just, uh......" Hiroshi Fujino reacted, and said it himself.
Mei Daiko laughed, "Just what?"
"It seems that you are also aware of it," Yamazaki asked, "in that case, why would you continue?"
"This ......," Yushi Fujino was speechless.
Yamazaki said: "Mr. Fujino, you must understand that what you are doing is very suspicious, the police can apply for documents, carry out all-round tracking and monitoring of you, don't take chances, everything about you will be investigated." ”
Fujino Yushi's face changed greatly, "This, I ......"
Mei Daiko smiled: "Say it quickly, we'll let Uncle Maori help you talk to the police later." ”
"Uncle Maori?" asked Yushi Fujino, "is it a Maori detective?"
Mei Daiko smiled: "Yes, it's Detective Mori Kogoro." ”
"Okay, okay," asked Fujino Yuki, "but if something really happens to me, can I ask the Maori detective to find a concubine lawyer to help me?"
Mei Daizi smiled: "There is no way to guarantee this. ”
Yamazaki said, "You better talk about it first. ”
"Yes," said Fujino Yushi, "it was Bunta who told me to do it." Then he added, "Oh, his name is Kuniyoshi Bunta, he is an employee of a trading company upstairs, once their circuit there was a failure, I helped repair it, we met, he spent money very generously, he went to drink after work, and he often invited him." ”
Mei Daizi said: "I see, so he asked you for help, and you did it." ”
"Yes. "At that time, he called and asked me to do me a favor and ask me to turn off the electricity downstairs in a minute, because the lights downstairs are all about something, and it doesn't matter if you stop it, and he said that it only takes fifteen seconds, so I agreed." ”
Yamazaki asked, "What did he use to contact you?"
"By the way, he made the call anonymously, maybe from a phone booth outside the building," Fujino said. And then he said on the phone that he would invite me to a drink and a big meal, and that he would let me come here to find him, and then he hung up. ”
Yamazaki asked, "So the ...... you just met?"
"It's Bunta. Yushi Fujino said.
Mei Daiko asked, "So where did he go?"
Fujino Yushi said: "He said that he had forgotten something in the office and was going back to get something, so let me wait for him at the tavern we frequented first." ”
Midaiko asked, "Go to the tavern? You're all off work, isn't it time to get off work yet?"
Fujino Yushi said, "It's not time to get off work, but if Bunta is there to see customers, he won't go back." On my side, I called the night shift guy, and I could leave with him. ”
"I see. Mei Daiko said, then looked at the bag in Fujino Yushi's hand and asked, "Then ...... in this bag?"
Fujino Yushi hurriedly said, "I don't know, I don't know at all." ”
Midaiko smiled and asked, "Oh?
"This," Yuki Fujino said with a wry smile, "I think of it, but I've already helped him with the power outage, and I've come to this point, so I can only pretend that I don't know anything." ”
Yamazaki asked, "Even so, have you ever thought that he might not let you go?"
Fujino Yushi sighed: "I've thought about it, but I'm not sure if it's him, so I can only take one step at a time." ”
Mei Daizi smiled: "Then I'll help you take a look." As he spoke, he took the bag and opened it, "Ha, these things, the murderer is really him." ”
Yamazaki said, "I'm here to call my uncle. Then he called Mori to come to Fujino Yushi.
After hanging up the phone, Yamazaki said to Fujino Yushi, "You can wait here for Uncle Maori." ”
"Am I alone?" asked Fujino Yushi, "and what if he comes back?"
"Mr. Kuniyoshi can't come. Yamazaki said, "Since he came to see you, then he has no alibi, as long as he goes back, the police will definitely keep an eye on him." ”
Fujino asked, "What if he runs away?"
"No, this bag is here, he won't run away now. "If I'm not mistaken, he's going to let you get away from the police with your things, and then he'll go back to prove his innocence, and when he gets his bag back with you in the evening, he'll dispose of the contents of the bag before making the next move." ”
"What's next?" asked Yushi Fujino.
Mei Daizi smiled: "Don't you know this? There are a lot of them on TV, either to kill you, or to let you go along with it, but those are all protagonists." ”
"That's it. Yamazaki said, "Mr. Fujino, it is the wisest choice for you to go to the police with Uncle Mori and explain everything to the police." ”
Yuki Fujino said, "Okay, I see, I'll wait here for the Maori detectives." ”……
On the way home for Yamazaki and Midaiko, Midaiko asked Yamazaki, "By the way, brother, I suddenly thought of a question. ”
"What's the problem?" asked Yamazaki.
"Why didn't he go inside the building and burn this bag," and then explained, "You see, if he starts a fire, the fire alarm will go off, and then the people in the building will be in chaos, and these things can be burned in a few minutes as long as they are poured oil and burned at the same time, so there will be no evidence." ”
Yamazaki asked, "I'll also ask you a question, why do you think Mr. Kuniyoshi asked Mr. Fujino to cut off the power?"
Mei Daizi said: "Needless to say, of course, it is to prevent the surveillance system from photographing as much as possible." ”
"That's it," Yamazaki said, "the power doesn't go off when it starts in a fire, the monitoring system is still working, and when the time comes, you will know who has been to the fire and who has come out of the fire, unless he is disguised like Kidd, it's hard not to find out." ”
"That's just as well. "Then why didn't he stop the electricity for a little longer, for example, by using a timer to break the power system?"
Yamazaki said: "He called Mr. Fujino before committing the crime, and he chose to do it in public, so I'm afraid it was forced to happen." In other words, there is no way for him to make such a blackout device, and it is already very good to be able to use his past friendship to ask Mr. Fujino to deliberately cut off the power for him for fifteen seconds. ”
"I see. Mei Daiko said. ……
