Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"Everyone, please wait a moment."

Just when Inspector Megure was about to take Takagi back to start an investigation, Kogoro Mouri had already sat on a chair in the living room, lowered his head and showed his usual expression.

"Brother Maori?!"

When Inspector Megure saw the other party's familiar steady temperament, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Isn’t he a robber? Why is he here again?
Touzi also frowned.

He was just explaining tomorrow's menu to the nagging manager and didn't notice what Mr. Maori was doing, and he didn't even see when the other party sat down.

"I just asked Officer Takagi to make a trip, and I found out a lot of things." Uncle Maori said.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the sleeping famous detective.

"Mr. Kizuka, excuse me, could you please help me check the status of the VCR?" Uncle Maori said to Mr. Takaoka's friend who happened to be standing next to the TV.

"There should be a videotape in here."

Mr. Kizuka didn't find anything unusual, just a roll of tape inside.

"Next, please rewind the tape a little so we can see what's recorded on it," Uncle Maori instructed.

As time goes back, two comedians appear on TV.

It seems that what was recorded is the comedy show that Ms. Hiroko likes.

"I think I watched this show a month ago. This is a rerun." Takagi said with a smile after taking a look at the content.

A few seconds after he said this, the recorded comedy show suddenly ended halfway through, and the rest of the content seemed to have not been recorded.

"It seems that when the chair fell, it hooked the power cord and pulled out the power plug." Uncle Maori analyzed.

"In other words, it was caused when the victim was struggling with the murderer?" Toruko smiled and asked Mr. Maori.

It's strange, can you really watch TV with your head down...

"Wait a minute, this show doesn't start until three o'clock, and the recorder has been running for... about an hour and a half, so it's 4:30 in the afternoon???"

Inspector Megure checked the video camera again carefully.

It turns out that Ms. Hiroko set the program to start recording at 3pm, but at 4:30pm, she was struggling with the murderer and the power was pulled out???
No, no.

Miss Hiroko's death occurred between 11:00 and 1:00 p.m.

"Could it be that the murderer first killed Miss Hiroko at noon, and then came back here in the evening to mess up the room in order to create confusion?"

Officer Takagi also thought of the suspicious part. What if the murderer came again at 4:30 in the evening and met someone? This would undoubtedly increase the risk of exposure.

"So there is only one possibility." Lin Feng helped turn off the TV and spoke.

"What do you mean?" Inspector Megure looked at Brother Lin Feng.

"Throw away the body." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"That's right. The murderer first killed Miss Hiroko somewhere else between 11 and 1 o'clock in the morning, and then brought her here, making a mess in the room to create the illusion of robbery and murder." Uncle Maori continued.

"It can also be seen from the victim's clothes that the fight was not that intense."

Touko walked over to the torn curtains and said, "This thing is not something that can be torn by just pulling it." On the other hand, the victim's clothes were a bit messy, but they did not look like they had been in a fierce fight.

Looking at the crime scene and looking at the victim themselves can lead to two completely different analyses.

Such a fierce fighting scene suggests that the murderer may be similar to the victim in height and body shape.

However, judging by the victim's clothing and physical condition, the fight was only against the furniture, and there was not even a bruise...

It can be basically confirmed that the murderer is a strong man who completely suppressed the victim in an instant, and the crime scene was fabricated afterwards.

"Officer Takagi, please give the thing to Officer Megure." Conan secretly glanced at Amuro Toru, then continued speaking while holding the bow.

He is indeed a troublesome guy, both sharp and careful.

"Inspector, this is it!" Officer Takagi took out the thing that had just been sent for inspection from the file bag.

The transparent evidence bag contained white sand.

"Brother Mori, what is this?" Inspector Megure was a little confused.

"This was found under the insole of Miss Hiroko's shoe," explained Uncle Maori.

"I asked my colleagues in the scientific search and identification team to help check it out. It is a kind of sand called singing sand. It has a very high quartz content. It can only be found on some completely unpolluted coasts. It is a very precious sand."

"There are currently about twenty coasts with singing sands across the country, and one of them is the White Sand Coast." Officer Takagi took out his notebook and began to read.

After this analysis, even the dumbest person would understand who this matter was related to, and everyone looked at Takaoka Akira.

"Mr. Takaoka, I guess after you arrived at the exploration site last night, you called Ms. Hiroko and invited her to join you."

"So Ms. Hiroko set up a recording session for the comedy show she wanted to watch and rushed over early this morning."

Uncle Maori made his inference.

The place where the two agreed to meet was the White Sand Coast, and the time should be after twelve o'clock when Takaoka Akira went to the bank.

The white sand coast is the stage where director Akira Takaoka will show his talents. Ms. Hiroko stood at the agreed location, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

However, on that hopeful beach, this happened...

"White Sands Coast is your hometown. You know very well that no one will suddenly show up in the middle of the day."

"After that, you immediately drove back to the vicinity of this apartment, parked your car in a secluded place, and then disguised yourself as a deliveryman, pushing the electrical box containing the body into the apartment."

Inspector Megure nodded when he heard this.

It seems that the delivery man seen downstairs of the apartment building at 4:30 was Takaoka in disguise.

Fat Ju immediately arranged for police officers to investigate house by house to see who had bought the electrical appliances.

"Mr. Takaoka, you are still wearing the same clothes you wore when you worked part-time at the electronics store, right?" Uncle Maori continued to ask.

"Mr. Maori, please stop talking like this. If you continue like this, everyone will really think I am the murderer." Takaoka Akira said with a somewhat stiff smile.

"Since you say so, let's continue..." (End of this chapter)
