Chapter 1614 Clues
  Although there are many complaints about the detectives, there is nothing wrong with the three of them.

After all, even if he were to direct, the follow-up process would indeed be like this.

Therefore, even though his right to issue orders was taken over by three people, Officer Megure felt unhappy that his rights were taken over, but he still asked his subordinates to do as the three people said.

According to the trio's description, although Yamaji Akie said she would sleep for ten minutes when she was down there, the three of them took turns calling her, but none of them got up.

When I looked at the time, I saw that she had been asleep for almost half an hour, so in the end the three of them couldn't go to the recording studio to call her.

At this time, they approached each other and stretched out their hands to push him awake. Only then they discovered that there were strangulation marks on Qiu Jiang's neck, and then they realized that the other party was not sleeping soundly, but had been killed.

"Then who was the first person to call?" Officer Megure nodded after understanding the situation in front of him, and then looked at the three people and asked.

"The first person was me." Yuiko Fikawa said: "I called her many times, but she kept lying on the drum set without any response.

She was still sleeping until I finished sewing the buttons on the clothes, and I couldn't wake her up.

So I went back and waited in the rest area with Ranhua and Liuhai, thinking about letting her sleep for a while. "

"Buttons?" Officer Memu was surprised when he heard this: "What is this for?"

"The buttons on the dyed coat were about to fall off, so I asked her to sew them up." Yuiko Fikawa explained: "But I accidentally left my sewing kit in the recording studio and forgot to take it away."

"The video was also found. Miss Weizi entered the recording studio."

Officer Takagi on the other side also called up the surveillance video simultaneously and saw Yuiko Fikawa's figure.

"Although it is half blocked, it can be seen that Miss Fikawa is indeed sewing clothes." Karasawa said while watching the video.

"But you seem to have stayed a little too long." Officer Megure questioned.

"The main reason is that I took a closer look and found that not only the buttons but also the sleeves were off the thread." Yuiko Fikawa explained.

"It's true, even the threads of the cuffs have been mended." Mukune Ranka on the side heard her friend's words and looked at her sleeves in surprise.

"Who's next to call the dead?"

After confirming that there was no problem, Tangze looked at the remaining two people and asked.

"The next person is me."

Someka Kifune said: "My guitar was sent for maintenance, so I borrowed the guitar from the recording studio, but I didn't expect that the string broke during practice.

So I took the opportunity to call her up while returning to the recording studio.

And the reason why we interrupted practice and all four of us went to the rest area was because my guitar was broken. "

"But since you borrowed the guitar from this store, wouldn't you just ask someone in the store to change the strings for you?" Officer Megure asked.

"It's okay, but I want to do it myself whether it's tuning or changing strings." Kifune Someka explained with a serious look.

After questioning Kifune Someka, Officer Takagi on the side also pulled up the video.

In the video, Mokufune Someka is sitting on a chair and seems to have changed the strings. It seems that she is in the process of tuning.

"But if you tune it, will it make a sound?" Takagi looked at Mokufune Someka and questioned.

"Indeed, judging from the location, it is already very close to the drum kit next to it." Officer Megure nodded in agreement.

"I just planned to make a noise on purpose so that I could wake her up!" Kifune Someka heard this and quickly explained: "Because I want to start practicing quickly!"

"So what was Miss Qiujiang's situation like at that time?" Tang Ze asked after hearing this.

"She was wearing a knitted hat and was lying on the high pitcher of the drum set, as if she was sleeping with her arms covering her face."

Mokufune Ranka said while gesturing with her hands: "Qiujiang has always been like this."

"In other words, if she was dead at that time, you wouldn't have noticed, right?" Masumi Sera asked.

"Hey!" Digawa Yuiko heard this and said anxiously: "Don't you want to say that I killed her when I first entered!?"

"It's just a metaphor, don't be so excited." Toru Amuro raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and comforted him with a smile on his chest.

"Okay, let's discuss it later."

Karasawa interrupted the two of them, looked at Kogure Rukai and asked: "The last one to go find the deceased was Ms. Rukai, right?"

"Yes, it's me."

Kogurumi nodded and immediately explained: "Actually, when I was practicing today, I found something that I wanted to modify in the song.

So at that time I wanted to modify the song and then call her to get up.

I think as long as you have seen the music score in the recording studio, you will understand this! "

"Let me see."

After hearing this, Officer Memu took the music score and looked at it carefully, and immediately confirmed: "There are indeed several traces of modification on it."

Before he could finish reading, the music score in his hand was snatched away by Yuiko Fikawa: "Ah, you changed this place to a fast tempo, right?"

"That's right!" Xiaogu Liuhai said with a smile when he heard his companion's words.

"Sure enough, it's more exciting this way!" Mokufune Ranka was very excited when she heard her companion talk about music.

"Alas, but Qiujiang is dead, and we may never have the chance to play this piece of music again."

Looking at his excited companions, Xiaogu Liuhai sighed and said sadly.

"Takagi, have you found the surveillance camera?"

On the other hand, Karasawa ignored Kogureumi's sadness and looked at Takagi to ask about the surveillance video.

"It should be this."

Under Takagi's control, Kogure Rumi's figure appeared in the video: "Miss Rumi in the screen moved the keyboard."

"I moved the keyboard here so as not to wake up the sleeping Qiu Jiang."

Kogureumi explained: "I planned to change the tune and then play it to Qiujiang, and the volume was turned down as low as possible.

After I finished changing the score, I actually called her out loud, but she didn't respond. "

"You were in the recording studio for about ten minutes," Tangze said after watching the video.

In response, Kogureumi just nodded, and then there was no reaction.

"Anyway, we'd better find the string weapon that strangled Miss Yamaji Akie to death now."

Officer Memu looked at the three of them and said, "Please accept our criminal search and go to the rest area in the basement to wait for instructions." The three of them heard the words and chose to cooperate, but unfortunately, after a thorough search, nothing suspicious was found at all. clues, and in addition to the environment in the recording room, no murder weapon was found.

"Are you sure!? Have you found every corner?" After learning the news, Officer Megure repeatedly confirmed in disbelief.

"Yes, I searched every corner of the room, even the drain in the bathroom." Takagi nodded.

"Is there a problem with the time of death?" Officer Memu asked with a headache.

"Yes, it happened to be the time when the three people entered the recording studio to wake up the victim, so all three of them have the same suspicion."

Tangze said: "And according to the camera at the door of this store, they have not left this store."

"If the search still finds nothing, that means the murder weapon must still be somewhere in the store!"

Upon hearing this, Officer Megure ordered: "Continue the search!!"

While the police were searching, Sera Masumi mentioned things from his childhood, saying that he had accidentally met his elder brother and his colleagues, and then they taught him bass.

He also said that another colleague wearing a hat who called him at the time looked very similar to Toru Amuro.

Naturally, Toru Amuro would not admit this, but Karasawa, who knew the inside story, saw the confrontation between the two and tacitly chose to ignore it.

He has known about this kind of thing for a long time and has no intention to find out the inside story. Moreover, it is all in the past and will not be of any help to them now.

The most important thing now is to quickly solve the case at hand.

After Officer Megure issued the order to conduct another search, both the Department of Science and Investigation and the Criminal Investigation Section 1 conducted a blanket investigation again.

However, the results of the search were still unfavorable. They still did not find any trace of the murder weapon, so Officer Megure made another request for a body search.

"Still searching?" Mokufune Ranka heard Megure's words and said dissatisfied: "Didn't we already search you just now?"

"This is also for safety reasons." Takagi explained with a smile.

"Could it be that your police haven't found the murder weapon yet?" Xiaomu Liuhai asked in disbelief.

"So you suspect that we hid the murder weapon on our bodies." Yuiko Fikawa said.

"You don't think we ate the murder weapon into our stomachs, do you?" Kifune Ranka said dissatisfied: "If that's the case, then there's no problem in taking X-rays!"

"No problem, if this can clear the suspicion!" Fikawa Yuiko also agreed.

"I don't have a problem either." Kogure Rukai said this and looked at Officer Megure: "By the way, do I want to ask you about the other people in the investigation band?"

"No, there is nothing about this yet." Hearing Xiaogu Liuhai's words, Takagi shook his head and said.

"Because Qiujiang often has disputes with other bands, maybe he got into a grudge with someone somewhere."

Kogure Rukai said with a dark expression: "The band that performed with us on stage before also mocked our previous lead singer for committing suicide after breaking his voice."

"I wonder if you can tell me about the suicide of the lead singer?" Tang Ze asked after hearing this.

"Her name is Shuto Akane, and she is a girl with a beautiful singing voice." When she mentioned her friend Yuiko Fikawa, her expression darkened.

"Well, this is indeed a direction of investigation."

Officer Megure touched his chin and muttered: "As long as they see the big screen at the inspection counter, even people from other bands can know that the camera in the room they rented is half blocked."

"Indeed, and they do it every time."

Takagi nodded in agreement and said, "If regular customers who come here often discover this habit of theirs, as long as they are careful, they can identify the recording studio where they are."

"In that case, it is very likely that outside members took advantage of this to sneak into the recording studio, kill the victim, and then leave with the murder weapon."

Officer Memu said solemnly: "What they said makes sense. It seems that other bands that have enmity with them also need to investigate."

"This," Takagi said hesitantly: "We only focused on three of them as suspects just now, so we have already asked two or three people from the band to leave."

"Call back the band members who just left as soon as possible." Officer Megure said with a serious expression: "Maybe the prisoner is among them!"

"Yes!" Takagi agreed, and quickly went to contact several leaving bands.

"By the way, three sisters, I have some off-topic questions that I would like to ask."

Conan looked at the three of them and asked, "Who suggested forming a band in the first place?"

"A few of us were classmates at a women's university. It was Akie who brought Akane here, saying that he had found a great lead singer, and that's how our band career began." Yuiko Fikawa recalled fondly.

"Akane Akane not only has a good voice, she is also excellent at guitar, bass and keyboard." Kogure Kai said: "She taught us a lot at that time."

"But compared to some things that girls should know, Zhu Yin doesn't know anything about it."

Mokufune Ranka recalled fondly: "Later, Qiujiang taught her how to cook, and I was the one who taught her how to make up."

"I originally planned to hand over tailoring and embroidery to Zhu Yin, but in the end she didn't insist on it."

When Yuiko Fikawa said this, she looked at Kogure Rukai and smiled: "The more fruitful one is probably the knitting you gave her, Ruumi."

"Yes." Kogureumi smiled and said, "But you who learned it together with Akane ended up knitting better than me in the end."

"You three, I want to see the video you took with your mobile phone when you were practicing in the recording studio. Is that okay?"

After hearing the story about the deceased lead singer, Conan glanced at Tang Ze, and Tang Ze, who instantly understood what he meant, asked for the video of the three of them practicing.

"It's okay, but when I'm not practicing, my phone is always turned off, so there shouldn't be any clues you want to see."

Regarding Karasawa's request, Kogureumi did not refuse, and directly took out his mobile phone to investigate the video.

Then when they saw the mobile phone video, both Tang Ze and Conan were stunned.

"Why is it vertical?" Sera Masaki asked curiously.

"I think it looks better when shot horizontally." Toru Amuro also came over and agreed.

"Because if we shoot it horizontally, it seems that the whole body cannot be captured in the picture, so we decided to shoot it vertically." Yuiko Fikawa explained after hearing this.

"And this perspective is different from the TV picture, and it looks and feels different." Komu Liuhai said with a slight smile.

But it was different from the oblivious band trio next to them.

The four people in Tangze who saw the video showed similar smiles on their faces.

That expression was full of insight, and it was obvious that he only showed it when he saw clues that could solve the case.
