Conan's other me

Chapter 174
After a brief greeting with everyone, Officer Takagi stood beside him holding his pamphlet and began to introduce the situation he had investigated.

"All four of them are designers. The company manager Aiko Nao went fishing alone at around 29 pm on the [-]th, the time of the incident.

Jun Hasami, who is in charge of sales, is watching the video at his home.

The man in charge of planning is at the racecourse.

Then the vice-president Yan Fuchuang said that he went to watch the last round of the golf tournament..."

The Mumu Police Department thought for a while, "The alibis of the four people are very vague..."

"Yeah, now Qianye is still asking about the situation behind the scenes..."

Officer Takagi responded, and then felt his clothes being pulled slightly.

He looked down habitually, and found that it was a familiar child, but this time it was not Conan, but Fengyuan.

Looking at Hattori Heiji and Conan, who seemed to have understood something, Fengyuan asked Officer Takagi, "Uncle Takagi, does the president like to collect idols' merchandise?"

"Ah, that's right." Police Officer Takagi flipped through his pamphlet, "Because I don't think it has anything to do with this case, so I haven't had time to say... How do you know, Sora?"

Officer Takagi squatted down to talk to Fengyuan, and Fengyuan noticed that his pamphlet also contained the collecting habits of the other four people.

"Because there are many things in this room with pictures of the same idol."

"Oh...not only that," Officer Takagi said, "there are more in the president's room inside...President Tsujiko is indeed a crazy idol lover and has collected a lot of idol peripherals..."

"Does it also include idol calendars?" Hui Yuanai asked.

"Yeah." Police Officer Takagi glanced at the calendar hanging high on the wall, "This idol calendar is the president's favorite, and I don't even want to throw away the past months, I keep it..."

"Uncle Takagi," Fengyuan said, "since the president likes this calendar so much, he must have torn it off and kept it himself, right?"

"It should be so..." Officer Takagi was a little confused, "What's going on?"

"...the one hanging now is July."

"Of course, it's already July."

"..."

"Isn't it?" Officer Takagi looked even more puzzled, faintly aware of something, a little embarrassed, "When it's July, you should tear off the June one and keep it..."

"After he died?"

"Ah?" Officer Takagi was stunned for a moment, then finally understood, his face changed slightly.

The deceased died on June 29. The four people reported the case on the 30th of the next day, and the scene was taken over by the police.

And the colleagues in the forensics department obviously couldn't do such a thing as tearing up the calendar for the deceased...

"I remember that the calendar is in the president's room," Police Officer Takagi thought for a moment, then stood up, "I seem to have seen the one in June..."

He had an impression during the previous search, so he rushed directly to the president's room, and Fengyuan followed.

Hui Yuanai hesitated for a moment.

Based on her understanding of Fengyuan, after finding the calendar, Fengyuan must directly reason with Officer Takagi.And although he didn't seem to care about the reasoning duel, and didn't care that she was listening, the others obviously cared about the outcome...

After thinking for a while, Huiyuan Ai stayed in the living room even though he really wanted to see Fengyuan reasoning.

And because of the clear goal, Officer Takagi and Feng Yuan quickly found the June calendar.There is an inconspicuous bloodstain on the upper right corner of the calendar that has been wiped carefully.

the other side.

a few minutes ago.

Just after hearing Officer Takagi mention the word "behind the scenes", Hattori Heiji and Conan already thought of the meaning of the death message left by the deceased.

Hattori Heiji was very happy to be able to win the reasoning duel and go to see the decisive battle at Koshien that he wanted to see.

However, before expressing his reasoning, he first observed the situation of other people.

Judging from the expression of the Kudo next to him, he should have unlocked the death message just like himself. The other Kudo was whispering to the police officer named Takagi...

However, he took a detour and missed the important death message, and now he will lose to himself...

Oh, no, he is now with himself...

And a few steps away, that guy He Ye and Xiao Lan were still holding a small book and arranging and combining them, trying to unlock the death message.But at first glance, it was clear that they had missed the point.

That guy with Ye is even wiping his tears...

As for liking watching Takarazuka performances so much...

Hattori Heiji froze for a moment, feeling a little distressed.Or let her win?No, no, this is a duel of reasoning...

While hesitating, Hattori Heiji, who got closer, heard the conversation between the two.

"How about I ask Xiao Kong and Xiao Ai?" Xiaolan hesitated, "They are talking to Officer Takagi, maybe they found something..."

"No need, Xiaolan," Kazuha wiped away tears again, "I want to win over that idiot Heiji on my own, and then we can go see Takarazuka together..."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji's face darkened even more.

"Hey, Hattori..." Conan, with his hands in his pockets, whispered to Hattori Heiji, "You know the real meaning of this death message...then tell the police quickly..."

"Yeah, I already know," Hattori Heiji said, "then end this duel—"

"Wait a moment!"

"Ah?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, and looked at Conan with an unfriendly expression, "Changed your mind so soon?"

Conan didn't reply, but watched Fengyuan go out with Officer Takagi, lost in thought.

Since the Fengyuan guy went to look for Officer Takagi, he must have found something, so he asked Officer Takagi to investigate...

Speaking of which, I felt a sense of discord in the room before, and I and Hattori's attention has been on the death message, and I haven't had time to check it...

"Hello?" Hattori Heiji called again.

"Hattori, do you find anything weird?"

"...It's a bit," Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, "but we must be right about the real meaning of the death message, right?"

"what?"

Hattori Heiji forgot to lower his voice, so everyone on the field looked at him.

"Hei, Heiji, you already know?" Heye's face turned pale and he felt unwilling.

"Brother Hattori, do you know?" Megure Police Department, who spoke at the same time, looked excited.

"Yes, yes..." Hattori Heiji, who felt something was wrong, bit back and replied.

He glanced at Conan, who was still beside him just now with the same confident face, and found that the kid had slipped to Xiaolan's side at some point, and was putting the cute...

Nasty Kudo... so heartless...

"Come on, brother Hattori!"

"Ahem," Hattori Heiji didn't think there was anything wrong with the death message, so he said, "Different from the codes that imply some information, these four ink-stained building blocks directly point out... Uh...that guy's."

"That person? You mean the prisoner?"

"direct…?"

"Police department, do any of those four people look like toys?" Uncle Maori asked Mumu Police Department.

"what?"

"It's the name." Hattori Heiji continued, "The 'behind the scenes' that Police Officer Takagi said just now reminded me that the deceased may not have wanted us to see the ink-stained side of the blocks, he just put the blocks on the ink. ..."

"Also, that is to say..."

"That's right, the reverse side of the four words with ink is the real message."

"So that's it!" The Megure Police Department suddenly realized and took out the photos again, "Uh, but you can't see the reverse side of these photos at all... Takagi! Tell the forensics personnel to bring them over the building blocks-"

The Memu Police Department was stunned for a moment, "—Hey, where is Takagi?"

"I just went out..." Xiaolan said.

And he went out with Kudo.

It's over, there must be something I didn't notice... It's all because of this Kudou here, who made me accidentally say it...

Hattori Heiji thought to himself, but the reasoning was already halfway through, so it was better to stop like this, "There is no need to get the building blocks, Police Department. The lettering on these building blocks is regular.

Unfold these six-sided blocks and arrange them in the direction of the pseudonyms, and all the faces of the blocks can be written in order.

It's easy to figure out that the back of o with ink is i, the back of mo is mi, the back of chi is to, and the back of ya is wa..."

Hattori Heiji paused for a moment, letting everyone think for themselves.

"That's i mi wa to or i wa to mi..."

"Iwatomi!?"

"i wa to mi" refers to Iwatomi, and the vice-president's surname happens to be Iwatomi. The police department and Uncle Mori suddenly realized.

The reasoning duel seemed to have a result, and Xiao Lan and He Ye felt a little bit disappointed.

But it is also very happy to see Heiji's reasoning...Heye Xin thought, but I don't know why, I always feel that Heiji is not as confident as before...

"Thank you so much! Brother Hattori!" Megure Police Department expressed his gratitude, "Hurry up and bring Iwatomi over for questioning, Takagi...uh..."

"The police department?"

Officer Takagi responded.

He happened to come back this way at this moment, holding a calendar that had been packed in a transparent bag in his hand, and Fengyuan followed him.
