"The deceased is a 29-year-old associate professor at Jomon University's Department of Physics, named Keizo Kaneda."

"The heart was pierced with a dagger, and it should have died on the spot, and the time of death was around 7:50."

Gao Mu walked to Qin Xiao and them with the report of the identification class, and then reported the results.

"Just now we have also confirmed, the staff in this store, everyone has an alibi."

"That's right! These two are Professor Iwama, who teaches at the same university as the victim, and Lecturer Arai.

Takagi introduced the two to the newcomer Twilight XIII.

"We came here today mainly to celebrate the promotion of Brother Kaneda to associate professor."

"He finally got into this position, and now this is happening."

Nobuo Iwama's words were full of doubts.

"Then you happened to be here again."

Twilight nodded, then looked at Maori Kogoro who was waiting beside him.

Hearing Twilight XIII's words, Maori Kogoro smiled awkwardly.

"That's right, it's my detective Maori Kogoro! Officer Twilight. Immediately

afterwards, Maori Kogoro uttered his classic line.

After hearing his line, Twilight felt a little embarrassed, and after clearing her throat, she looked at Anzai Kyoko.

"To get back to business, the first person to find the body is you, Miss Anzai Kyoko."

"Yes! I thought someone had entered the box and hadn't ordered food yet. That's why I wanted to see the situation, and when I thought about it, I came across this kind of thing.

Anzai Kyoko covered her mouth, and when she remembered the picture just now, she was terrified in her heart.

"But why did Mr. Kaneda go to Box 8? I remember he said at the counter that he didn't make an appointment in advance. For

this question, Maori Kogoro felt a little puzzled in his heart.

"Because of this, I saw him walking towards room 8 and asked him why."

"He said he made an appointment with someone and met here."

"So he met this person here in private, and he was killed here."

Twilight touched her chin and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Aside from Mr. Kaneda, have you ever seen anyone else enter Box 8?"

Yui Uehara walked over and asked Kyoko Anzai.

"No, I didn't see it."

Anzai Kyoko shook her head.

"Are you very sure?"

Twilight asked again.

"Yes! I kept an eye on the situation here in the atrium at the counter, and there was only one entrance at the entrance. If you don't pass over the bridge, it's absolutely impossible to enter the box.

Kyoko Anzai answered their question in the affirmative.

"So where did the murderer enter Box 8?"

After listening to Anzai Kyoko's description, Twilight's eyes widened.

"Officer Twilight! Of course, by water. After

thinking for a while, Maori Kogoro thought of one of the ways to enter box eight.

"The waterway here can be around the box, and if you just take the waterway, you can reach box 8."

"So it is! So the murderer is the person in the restaurant!

Twilight Thirteen suddenly realized after hearing Maori Kogoro's words, and nodded in approval.

"Good! Brother Takagi, go and look for it. Are there any witnesses who can see people operating on the waterways?

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Takagi asked the people inside about the beginning of each box.

However, when all the people in his box asked, he finally got a suspicious result.

"You said no one saw it!"

Twilight said in surprise after hearing the results of Takagi's investigation.

"Yes! The other rooms each had more than four guests, all of whom said they had only seen boats passing by.

"Could it be that you dived into Box 8?"

Maori Kogoro thought about it and said another thought.

"Nope! The depth of this waterway is only 50 centimeters, and it is impossible to ask for money in the water.

Takagi shook his head, dismissing this idea from Mori Kogoro.

"Even if the murderer is really diving, then box 8 will definitely be full of water."

Yui Uehara frowned and said.

"Anyway, since the murderer can't be someone from outside, then it must be someone inside the restaurant."

"In this case, you have to investigate the alibi."

After Twilight finished speaking, he looked at Nobuo Iwama beside him.

"Iwama-san! Where were you at 7:50?

"Oh! I've always stayed in Box 3.

"I remember that at that time, Mr. Iwama seemed to shout loudly."

Hearing Nobuo Iwama's words, Maori Kogoro immediately remembered the voices just now.

"That's right! That's right! I accidentally knocked over my plate while looking for contact lenses.

"After that, I saw the window of room 3 closed. This is enough to prove that you are not at the scene of the murder. Maori

Kogoro smiled and helped Nobuo Iwama prove his alibi.

"Mr. Arai, you seem to have returned to the restaurant after the murder, right?"

After proving that Nobuo Iwama was not suspicious for the time being, Twilight looked at Ryuichi Arai on the side.

"After I went out in Kaneda, the professor asked me to buy him a pack of cigarettes, so I went to the convenience store to buy cigarettes."

Ryuichi Arai said as he took out the cigarette in his pocket.

"Actually, I told this gentleman to buy it there, because the brand he asked for in our store has already been sold."

Kyoko Anzai just came out to help Ryuichi Arai explain.

"It took me about ten minutes to walk, and I still have a receipt here."

Ryuichi Arai took out a receipt from his wallet and handed it to Twilight.

"The time on the receipt is 7:52!"

Twilight checked it after taking the receipt.

"That is, both of them have a full alibi."

Maori Kogoro said with a smile after hearing this.

"Anyway, the murderer is among the other guests."

Takagi said analytically after hearing the words of the two.

After hearing Gao Mu's words, Qin Xiao frowned.

[That's not right! The other rooms have more than four guests. It was not easy to avoid the attention of her companions and Miss Anzai, and Room 8.

Looking at Conan's frowning look, Qin Xiao also understood that he might have guessed this.
