Chapter 93 Octopus

"It sounds really tall. Takagi, did you find anything in the phone call records?"

"This... I screened the four most suspected people, and found that all of them were women. One of them was Miss Mai, and the call time was around 10 o'clock."

In the notebook, the names of the other three people are: Tokiko Komiya, Ayano Fumi, and Sayuri Shida.

Seeing that she was among the suspects, Mai Kirishima seemed a little flustered.

She quickly waved her hand and explained: "I'm a reporter. It's normal to call Mr. Yuemoto to discuss tomorrow's interview, right? And didn't I explain it before?"

Therefore, she has no reason or motive to kill the other party.

"Indeed, Miss Mai's suspicion can be ruled out temporarily."

Mu Mu Shisan nodded, thinking about the clues he had heard before, and found something strange.

"However, since the call records are all women, there should be no suspicion of killing Mr. Koshimoto."

"After all, I also learned from the waiter that it was a tall man who left at that time."

Having said that, the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.

The first one is Tokiko Komiya, the female anchor of Mihua TV.

"Miss Toko, you had a conversation with Mr. Koshimoto last night, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, what is the relationship between the two of you?"

"We used to be lovers."

Komiya Tokiko smiled, and continued: "I met him a few times during the interview, and he is a very interesting person, so I gradually became attracted to him. The two have eaten together and traveled together."

After finishing speaking, Tokiko Komiya took out her mobile phone from her bag, and clicked on a photo in the album.

It's a photo of her with Koshimoto Yasuhide, and the background is in Hawaii.

"He changed women like changing clothes. Every time I cheated, I found out, and then knelt down and begged me to forgive him."

"I thought, this relationship should come to an end. So now, it can't be said that it's too sad."

Although he was smiling, he always felt a little lonely.

After all, they are people who have loved each other.

Even after a long time, when hearing the unfortunate news of the other party, my heart still trembles.

"Then ask me."

"Alibi?"

After all, this is how the police handle cases. As a TV news anchorwoman, she naturally understands it.

Xiaogong Shizi smiled and said: "It's a coincidence, I was alone at home at that time."

The second is Ayano Wen, whose father is the president of Rice Flower Publishing House.

"Excuse me, what is your relationship with Mr. Yuemoto?"

"We're dating on the premise of getting married."

Mumu Shisan and Takagi looked at each other, could this be the legendary octopus?
After a light cough, Meguro Shisan asked: "Miss Ayano, did you talk to Mr. Koshimoto on the phone yesterday? What did you say during the call, can you tell us?"

"Because he has to be busy with the preparation and release of new books recently, he is a bit busy, so I didn't talk much. I just told him to take care of his health, and I didn't say much after that."

"Then last night?"

"My parents have gone on a trip, so I was at home alone last night. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened"

As he said that, Wen Yanao stood up quickly, then turned his back to them, and quietly wiped away the tears on his face.

"Sorry, I'm a little rude."

The third is Sayuri Shida, a college student and the president of the Koshimoto Yasui Fan Club.

"Has anything strange happened recently?"

Sayuri Zitian pondered for a while, then nodded: "If you want to say that, there is indeed one thing."

"A few days ago, Mr. Koshimoto invited the backbone of our support club to dinner after finishing the signing meeting."

"At that time, I proposed that we go bowling together after dinner. But unexpectedly, he refused directly."

When Memu Shisan and Takagi were conducting a visit and investigation, several people had been quietly following behind them, looking like stalkers.

"Miss Toko's height is around 170 by visual inspection, Miss Ayano's is around 164, and Miss Shida's is around 162."

"So, Ms. Ayano and Ms. Zitian are the biggest suspects?"

"But if you rule it out, the murderer is that person."

Yuanzi, who was drinking at the side, saw the two sneaking around, and couldn't help saying, "Why do we come to play around with the two of them?"

As he said that, Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan, "You dote on that brat too much, don't you?"

Xiaolan smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, Sonoko. I just feel that if it's Shinichi, there's no way to let it go. And I don't know why, recently I feel that Conan and Shinichi are getting more and more similar."

"Could it be my illusion?"

Xiaolan whispered, as if talking to herself.

"Alright Xiaolan."

Yuanzi smiled and comforted: "Your husband must be busy solving some shocking case. After he finishes solving it, he will come back to you."

As soon as Xiaolan heard this, two blushes appeared on her face.

"Sono, Sonoko, what are you talking about? Me and Shinichi, it's just, just boyfriend and girlfriend."

As she talked to the end, Xiaolan's voice became lower and lower.

Sonoko joked with a smile: "Oh, it's a matter of time anyway, Mao Lilan will be changed to Kudo Ran sooner or later. Right, Mrs. Kudo?"

After the investigation, the group returned to the hotel again.

After a few people got out of the car, they found a man in a black suit standing not far away.

The height is above 180, with sharp eyes and quite imposing appearance.

Seeing this scene, Yuanzi couldn't help retreating behind Xiaolan.

"Could it be that he is really a professional killer?"

Conan was shocked. According to the previous reasoning, the murderer was among the three.

But now a man suddenly appeared, and he met the conditions that the waiter said before.

Could it be that he is the real murderer?
Conan didn't think about it anymore, he protected Xiaolan behind him, and was ready to press the football belt around his waist.

The man walked towards them, his right hand stuck inside his clothes.

Could it be that you want to draw a gun?

Sera Masumi made a gesture of confrontation.

The opponent did not intend to stop, but accelerated his pace.

Just at the moment when he was about to take out the things, Sera Masumi decisively chose to make a move and decided to strike first.

At the moment the opponent was knocked to the ground, a card floated to the ground.

"Dong Yuansheng, professional security guard, bodyguard?"

After seeing the content on the card, Sera Masumi was very surprised.

Simply, the other party did not faint, but supported his body with difficulty and stood up.

"Sorry, Mr. Yuansheng, are you okay?"

Xiaolan looked at the other party worriedly, "We just mistook your identity, so we shot. I didn't expect to be very sorry!"

After finishing speaking, Xiaolan bowed sincerely to express her apology.

"No, it's fine."

Dong Yuansheng's body swayed for a while before he finally stabilized his figure.

He rubbed the back of his head, and introduced himself: "I am Mr. Yueben's bodyguard, and my name is 'Dong Yuansheng'."

If a person cheats frequently, there is no guarantee that no one will have the intention to kill him.

Therefore, Koshimoto Yasuhide's act of hiring a bodyguard did not surprise everyone.

"That's right. Last night, I saw the person who entered Mr. Koshimoto's room."

"At about 10 o'clock last night, Mr. Koshimoto asked me to go back today. When I was about to go back, I happened to receive a call from a friend, and I started chatting on the phone in front of the elevator."

Then I saw someone entering Koshimoto Yasuhide's room.

The other party was a woman wearing a hat, so she couldn't see her appearance clearly.

The time was 10:30, which happened to be half an hour before the presumed time of death.

"Then do you still remember the height of the other party?"

"It should be above 160."

Sonoko nodded, touched his chin and thought for a while, then smiled confidently.

"I finally know who the murderer is!"

Conan showed a surprised expression.

Sonoko let out a "hum" and started her own reasoning show.

"First of all, your height is above 180, and your physique is also good, which is consistent with the witness testimony of the waiter. In other words, you deliberately perjured your testimony in order to confuse our sight."

"So that we can think that the murderer is actually a woman, so as to eliminate our suspicion."

After finishing speaking, Yuanzi stretched out his index finger and pointed at Dong Yuansheng.

"There is only one truth! The murderer is you—"

Everyone was silent for a few seconds.

"But," Sera Masumi began to change the subject, "Why did you come to tell us this clue now?"

"this."

Dong Yuansheng hesitated, "After all, a woman came to Mr. Yue Ben's room. I thought they were inconvenient for something, so..."

At 10:160, a woman over [-] centimeters tall entered the room.

Around 11:[-], Kohmoto Yasuhide was killed.

At 11:30, a tall man over 180 centimeters came out of the room.

"Since there are two people, shouldn't there be an accomplice?" Yuanzi guessed.

Shiliang Zhenchun smiled and said: "Well, it is actually possible. But I think that the man and the woman are actually the same person."

Xiaolan felt a little puzzled, "But, if it's 160 and 180, the height difference is too big."

"You can wear high heels!"

Kirishima Mai began to popularize relevant knowledge: "Performance shoes and shoes with a waterproof platform at the front can exceed 20 centimeters, as if stepping on stilts."

But 20 cm shoes, not everyone can control it.

This may also explain why the waiter felt walking slowly when he saw that person.

"But, if it's high heels, you can tell it at a glance, right?"

"You are talking about women's high heels. But in the world, there are also men's height-increasing shoes and men's inner height-increasing shoes."

Mai Kirishima smiled, and continued: "The latter look similar to ordinary shoes. Unless you take off the shoes, otherwise, it is generally not easy to notice."

Generally speaking, the height increase of height-increasing shoes is about ten centimeters, which is the most common.

And shoes that exceed ten centimeters are difficult to buy, or they need to be customized.

"And sister Mai also said before that Mr. Koshimoto's height is around 180. But when I went in, I found that Mr. Koshimoto was not as tall as me."

Conan showed an innocent smile, as if he didn't realize what he said.

"what?"

Sonoko looked down at him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Little ghost, how can Mr. Koshimoto not be as tall as you?"

What Conan said inadvertently just now made Xiaolan seem to think of something.

I saw her thinking about it, and then looked at him, with a look of hesitating to speak.

Now is not the time to ask "Are you Shinichi after all?"
