Conan the Hell Puppet Master

"Mr. Sagara, can you tell me where you went while you were away from the hotel?"

Sagara also didn't expect that he would be the first person to be suspected, scratched his head, and said helplessly.

"I originally wanted to be angry with Siquan, but now that he is dead, there is no need. In fact, I went to borrow money from my friend."

"Borrowing money... You want to pay off the loan you borrowed from a friend and take your car away when the exhibition is about to start, don't you?"

"As expected of the police, it is indeed the case. You can go to my friends to confirm that the distance from here to Tokyo, I definitely don't have time to hurt Teraquan."

"Understood, we went back to investigate!"

Gao Yuanzhao recorded the confession, and together with Henggou, You and Henggou questioned the remaining people.

The confessions of these people are much simpler, they are all one question and three ignorance.

It's.... When I asked the last one... the security guard in charge of the parking lot and surrounding security, it was.... I got some information.

"You mean, during the morning patrol, the Ferrari Dino wasn't in the parking lot, there was another car in the parking lot."

"Yes, but at that time because the fog was a bit thick, I couldn't see it clearly, but listening to the sound of the engine, it was definitely not the sound of this Ferrari, nor the sound of those... familiar passenger cars in the hotel. "

"Can you see the rough color?"

"It should be dark, but when I wanted to take a closer look, Mr. Shenglu asked me to patrol the edge of the cliff, because there were many new guests yesterday, and when I left the hotel under the fog, I might not notice the cliff."

"Thank you for your cooperation. I'm taking the liberty to ask, if that... car reappears, can you tell the difference?"

"Of course, Mr. Police, I have been working in this often foggy environment for more than ten years, so I am very sensitive to the sound of the engine and can definitely hear it."

"I see! But I'll trouble you later."

Gao Yuanzhao's tone was firm, the evidence was collected, and it was time to draw conclusions.

"Henggou! Now go and arrange..."

An hour later, everyone was called to the parking lot. At this time, six cars had been visited in the parking lot, all of which were covered by car covers, and the models could not be distinguished from the front.

Then the... old security guard was also invited to the parking lot.

"Old man, please listen carefully. Which car's voice did you hear this morning."

After that, Gao Yuanzhao started to make a call, and as the call was connected, the first car also started the engine.

"This is the first car, listen carefully!"

"Well... not that voice."

"Are you sure it's not"

"Absolutely not!"

"Then take the cover off, and here's the second one."

"Neither!"

...for every call, one car starts, but it's denied by security until the fifth car.

"It's this voice, no wonder it's so unfamiliar, it turned out to be covered by a car cover."

"It's... this one!"

Gao Yuanzhao nodded and said to the other end of the phone.

"Remove the car cover, police officer Henggou come out."

The car cover was torn off, and it was the Ferrari Dino, and Masashi Yokogo was panting like a dog after he got out of the car.

"Your Excellency, I'm suffocating to death inside. Now I can talk about what's going on!"

"What's going to happen to you in there?"

"It's going to be boring...die!"

Masashi Henggou finally understood.

"I know. In fact, the car was already here in the morning, but it was covered by a car cover. In this way, the prisoner did not need to be present to suffocate the dead."

The reasoning in the front is okay, but the back is full of Maori Kogoro's nonsense. It is not unreasonable that Masashi Henggou later called himself the eldest disciple of Kogoro.

"Cough cough, the temperature in this hotel is not low in the morning, it is not enough to suffocate."

Gao Yuanzhao reminded, and then did not go to the Ferrari Dino.

The car has not even changed its position, so the tar traces on the ground can still be seen, as if it was cut by a knife, very flat.

"I asked the manager of the hotel, the number of car covers in the whole hotel is ten 10, after I searched carefully, I found that one of the car covers had traces of tar.

After testing, the tar above is exactly the same as the tar on the parking lot floor."

"Mr. police officer, didn't you say that the car is covered with a hood, so it won't suffocate people?"

In the end, the innocence was light. It was proved that Sagara was indeed on the road all the way and had no time to do extra things, and he took the initiative to care about the case.

"It wasn't suffocation in the first place, the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning. It should have been the cover of the car after starting the engine, and the exhaust gas could not go out, and the carbon monoxide in it floated up and entered the car through the opening of the window, which can make the car inside in a short time. concentrations are lethal.”

Hearing Gao Yuanzhao's explanation, everyone who was not present was shocked, because... "This method seems to be able to be implemented by everyone present except... Mr. Sagara, who has no time. "

Gao Yuanzhao's eyes swept across the crowd, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Mr. Policeman, are you joking? The conflict between me and Teraquan is... a mortgaged car, and like Sagara, I can borrow money from friends to repay the loan. There is absolutely no need to kill people."

Unexpectedly, the first person to stand up and deny it was Kameoka, this guy is probably... the legendary keyboard warrior, you can say it when you say it, but if you are serious, you will be cowardly.

For his words, Gao Yuanzhao was noncommittal and looked at Otake, who had a tendency to attack.

"Mr. Police, I was so angry last night that I did that... irrational behavior. I really didn't think about killing him."

Dazhu was also cowardly, and he didn't finish his domineering wrench at all.

Gao Yuanzhao still had a dull expression, and looked at the third person, the manager of the restaurant, Hei Yan.

"Mr. Police, if Mr. Otake and Mr. Kameoka have motives to kill, I don't even have a motive. Why should I kill my own boss?"

Hei Yan was wiping his sweat while talking, looking extremely nervous.

"Hey! Manager Heiyan, I remember you have a reason. After all, the new round of layoffs, Manager Heiyan is also on the list."

Sagara watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, and broke the news of Heiyan.

Now Manager Heiyan is even more nervous.

"This is just a normal employee of the company. How could I kill someone for this reason? And if it was me who killed someone, I would still work so hard to find them today."

"Not always..."

Seeing that Conan's daily struggle was about to begin again, Yuanzhao hurriedly interrupted.

"I don't need any extra explanation. At the same time everyone came down, I also arranged for the police to conduct a surprise inspection of your room. Please forgive me."

Regarding Gao Yuanzhao's behavior, although these people looked bad, they didn't say much, but... "By the way, Mr. Shenglu, I haven't asked you yet, where were you this morning? "

"what!"

The absent-minded Sheng Lu Jiuzhi responded, "I'm just doing normal room service! I even served you breakfast at eight o'clock."

"Wait..., Mr. Shenglu, I'm asking about seven at seven!"

"Seven o'clock, seven o'clock, I was just working as usual yesterday! Probably preparing breakfast!"

Although he stated his own movements, this abnormal performance still aroused the suspicion of everyone on the scene.

Gao Yuanzhao even skipped him directly and confirmed the news to the security guard.

"Can you tell me the normal working hours for all employees, including you."

Shenglu Jiuzhi's face was a little bad, but after the old security guard confirmed that it was indeed breakfast preparation time at seven o'clock, his expression recovered.

But Gao Yuanzhao's next sentence made Sheng Lu's face tense again.

"Huh, it seems that seven o'clock in the morning is not the time to patrol the parking lot!"

"There is no special rule, it's just my personal habit, and I usually know it after working here for a few years."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to the manager Heiyan, as well as Sheng Lu Jiuzhi.

Because in order to complete the criminal methods mentioned by Gao Yuanzhao, you must be familiar with the working rules of security personnel.

Otherwise, you have to stay in the parking lot for hours, and the risk is too high.

"The reason is that I have no reason to kill the boss!"

In the world of Conan, many prisoners will be hysterical when they are about to be exposed, and this is no exception.

"When I was at dinner yesterday, when I complained about Mr. Teraizumi's Ferrari, maybe it was obtained by illegal means, your expression seemed very strange, and even the tray fell off."

Gao Yuanzhao's words were like a sharp sword piercing the heart, and Sheng Lu Jiuzhi was stunned, without making any refutation.

And the three people who lost the car 3 also began to look at Lu Jiuzhi with sympathetic eyes, but they didn't expect that there was someone worse than them.

At this time, the police officers who went upstairs to search also came down, and one of them was holding a pair of suit trousers of a restaurant waiter, with clear traces of tar on it.

It was found from Katsuro Hisashi's room.

Before, he was accurately "guessed" by Gao Yuanzhao

Shocked to the heart, now seeing the solid evidence, he didn't say much, just fell to his knees on the ground and began to tell how Siquan took away his love.

It is more detailed than the one in the animation, and the method is similar to the three people who cheated before, but maybe it is because the big five of Teraizumi is true love for these two Ferraris, so he forced Shenglu to complete the transfer procedures.

"For a car..."

Masashi Henggou wanted to preach, but was stopped by Gao Yuanzhao.

Although he has never experienced this feeling of true love being taken away, Gao Yuanzhao, who has watched countless animations and novels, knows that this feeling is indeed more uncomfortable than death.

So in the future, I will rob others more, and I can't be robbed by others! Especially girls, such as Xiaolan who just came down.

"Hey, it's Miss Xiaolan, if you're here, don't tell me..."

Masashi Henggou put his hand in front of his forehead in a gazing posture, looking left and right like a monkey.
