My neighbor's name is Conan

"Has she mentioned this matter today?" Aoki Song asked.

Lin Yaren shook her head, "No, because if her feet hurt, the performance would be suspended that day."

At this time, Yasuyuki Murakawa suddenly interjected: "But Osawa values ​​​​professional ethics very much, and it is possible to hide the fact that his knee hurts."

[Murakawa Yasuyuki’s suspicion +1]

However, if someone intends to lead Michiko Osawa to commit suicide, no matter whether it is intentional or unintentional, in Aokimatsu's eyes, the other party will be suspected for the time being.

However, Maori Kogoro obviously didn't know Ke Xue and plunged into the trap.

He held his chin and said thoughtfully: "In other words, her feet suddenly started to hurt while waiting for the performance, and she unfortunately drowned and died?"

"A good rider will fall from his horse, a good swimmer will drown in the water, a good drinker will get drunk, and a good fighter will die." Ayumi Maruda said from the side: "This is not impossible, many people who drowned can swim. of."

"That's right." Mouri Kogoro agreed very much.

However, Aoki Song did not believe that this case was a suicide. However, he did not object immediately, but took the opportunity to observe the micro-expressions of the three suspects.

The result is - I didn't see it.

That's right, Aoki Song didn't see it.

No one among the three of them seemed obviously "relieved" or "happy".

Aoki Song's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this. It seemed that the murderer had a good psychological quality.

But it didn’t matter, so I asked the first person.

The second one is Yuriko Minegishi.

"When you left the dressing room, was Miss Osawa still in the dressing room?" Aoki Song asked.

Yuriko Minegishi nodded, "She was still there when I left. She likes to put on makeup before going on stage, so every time I leave, she hasn't put on makeup yet."

"Daze is usually very concerned about the audience's attention, so her makeup and clothing will be checked again before she is ready to appear." Lin Yaren added at the side.

"By the way, Miss Minegishi, have you ever come out again after entering the clam shell?" Mouri Kogoro suddenly asked.

Minegishi Yuriko frowned a little sensitively when she heard this, looked at Mouri Kogoro and said displeasedly: "What do you mean by that? Didn't you just say that Miss Osawa's death was an accident?"

Yasuyuki Murakawa on the side helped Yuriko Minegishi speak: "As soon as Ms. Minegishi was ready to appear, we immediately started filling the water from the control room. She probably didn't come out."

"That's it!" Mouri Kogoro said embarrassedly.

Aoki Song heard this and asked quickly: "Mr. Murakawa, according to you, there are no staff in the water tank to watch?"

Murakawa Yasuyuki was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "No, we did not arrange anyone to watch the water tank."

Aoki Song looked at Lin Yaren again and asked: "Has no one been watching all this time? When Miss Minegishi and Miss Osawa entered the water tank, was there no one? Did they just operate it by themselves?"

This... is a bit outrageous.

He remembered that the door of the room where the water tank was located was not locked. He had seen Yasuyuki Murakawa holding the handle and twisting the door open when he went to check it.

However, Lin Yaren nodded with a normal expression, "That's right. When we see the signal light turns on in the control room, we will start filling it with water."

"Aren't you afraid that someone else will enter the water tank?" Aoki Song couldn't help asking a soul question.

For example - a naughty child like Conan.

Lin Yaren explained with a smile: "We have always been strictly prohibited from entering the backstage. Before the performance starts, the backstage door will be locked. It is impossible for outsiders to come in, let alone enter the water tank."

[But people inside can get in! 】

Aoki Song rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

What can the backstage door block?

After all, the murderer in this case is one of the classic three, and these three suspects are all employees here, and the backstage door cannot stop them at all.

Chapter 326

Aoki Song did not delve into this issue for the time being, because he keenly discovered that this may be one of the reasons why the murderer was able to kill Michiko Osawa. As for whether this was unintentional, or was done deliberately by some people who intended to kill Michiko Osawa, Let’s wait until the investigation of this case is completed.

So Aoki Song changed the question, looked at a few people and asked: "Where were you at that time? Can anyone prove it to you?"

Lin Yaren was stunned when she heard this, and then she felt a little offended and said with a hint of anger: "We were all operating the machine in the control room at the time! We can all prove it to each other."

Aoki Songcai ignored the other party's attitude and asked more bluntly: "Were all the backstage staff in the control room at that time?"

Lin Yaren nodded, "Except for Miss Osawa and Miss Minegishi who are going to perform on stage, everyone else is in the control room."

"Are you sure no one else will enter the backstage at that time?" Aoki Song asked.

"When we perform, we will lock the backstage door, and the cleaners will not come in to clean at this time, so usually there is no one else backstage at that time." Lin Yaren said.

Aoki Song raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Under normal circumstances?"

Lin Yaren's face turned ugly when she heard this, "I suddenly thought that if someone had been planning to murder Miss Osawa for a long time, then it was possible to copy a backstage key. At that time, we were all in the control room, and the door was closed. I really don’t know if there are outsiders coming in.”

Hearing Lin Yaren say this, Qingmusong was stunned.

Good opportunity, are you a detective or a criminal?

This imagination is even wider than Qingmu Song.

However, Aoki Song also reflected on himself afterwards. Although Lin Yaren's reasoning sounded unscientific, in fact it was not impossible.

From beginning to end, Ke Xueke was not evidence that the prisoner could be beaten to death.

However, in the eyes of Qingmusong, a senior scientist, Lin Yaren was even more suspicious.

Whether it was what he said about Michiko Osawa's knee injury before or his current reasoning, in Aokimatsu's view, there is only one central idea - leading the case to the direction that Michiko Osawa committed suicide or that an outsider murdered her.

They are all suspected of dumping themselves.

"It is indeed possible." Aoki Song said, then looked at the others and asked: "You guys, everyone in the control room was there at the time, and no one went out during the process?"

At this time, Yasuyuki Murakawa, who was standing next to Lin Yaren, suddenly said: "Well, I went out to the bathroom once in the meantime."

"When did you go to the bathroom?" Aoki Song asked immediately.

Yasuyuki Murakawa thought for a while and said, "I went out after Ms. Minegishi performed on the stage and after the machine was finished operating. After using the bathroom, I came back directly."

He went out after Yuriko Minegishi performed on stage. At this time...

If Michiko Osawa was a homicide, then the time when she was killed and attacked by the murderer should be between the time when Yuriko Minegishi left the dressing room and when it was Michiko Osawa's turn to enter the water tank and perform on stage.

In terms of time, the time when Yasuyuki Murakawa went to the toilet coincided with the time when Michiko Osawa was "murdered".

[Murakawa Yasuyuki’s suspicion +1]

"I know the details. Please wait in this control room while we get the diving equipment to check the water tanks and machines." Aoki Song said, "When the time comes, we still need your cooperation."

"Okay." Lin Yaren responded.

"Detective Mori, please stay here." After Aokisong finished speaking, he walked out of the control room. Behind him, Miwako Sato and Ayumi Maruda also walked out. Then Aokisong said to the two of them: "Let's go. Search the staff room and dressing room.”

"Okay." The two agreed quickly.

As soon as he opened the door to the employee lounge, Aoki Song saw an unusual place - a coat hanging on a hook on the wall. It is worth mentioning that the lower half of the coat was soaked. The bottom part is still dripping, but the upper part is very dry.

What's more important - there is a lipstick mark behind the right shoulder of the dress, near the hat.

The lipstick mark in this place…

Aoki Song simulated the posture in his mind.

I found that the lipstick marks in this area were either made from behind, or were made by someone who picked up a woman, placed her head behind her right shoulder, and then put her head upside down.

"Why is this dress so weird?" Miwako Sato asked as she looked at the dress. She had some reasoning ability, so she noticed the difference in this dress at a glance.

Aoki Song smiled and said: "Sato-san, under what circumstances do you think this situation will happen?"

"The lower part of the clothes was soaked in the water, but the upper part was not." Miwako Sato replied without thinking.

"But... this is the employee rest area, how could the lower half of the clothes be soaked in water?" Ayumi Maruta asked doubtfully.

Even if the clothes fall off, they will just fall to the ground.

"Good question!" Aoki Song agreed. "Once you understand this, this case will be solved."

Maruta Ayumi heard this and said quickly: "I will work hard."

Then Aoki Song checked the employee lounge and found nothing. The iron cabinets in the lounge were also locked, so there was no problem.

After that, Aokisong led the two people to the dressing room next door. When he opened the door, Aokisong was stunned again - the cosmetics in the dressing room were messy, the lipstick and mascara were not covered, and the foundation box was not closed. The sponge has not returned to its position, and the eyebrow pencil has not been capped.

I still know a little bit about Aoki Pine in this aspect.

Mascara dries easily, so after brushing your eyelashes, close them immediately to prevent the mascara from drying out immediately.The reason for lipstick is that the entire paste seems to be solid, but is actually very fragile. It can easily break or fall off at the slightest touch, so generally after applying it, the cap will be closed to avoid being touched.

"The dressing table is a little messy," Miwako Sato said.

Aoki Song looked at the dressing table thoughtfully, then looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you think about this case?"

"If it had not been a machine accident, after Ms. Minegishi performed on stage, the victim was the only one in the dressing room. It is very likely that someone came to the dressing room and attacked the victim while the backstage staff were in the control room.

Then the victim was stuffed into the water tank, and there was no one watching outside the water tank. The control room only looked at the indicator lights, so that he could drown in the water tank. "Miwako Sato reasoned.

As soon as these words came out, Aoki Song immediately looked at Miwako Sato. She was indeed the policewoman in "Detective Conan" who combines wisdom and force.

But, having said that... the last time Miwako Sato was really blinded by eating lard, she was forcibly knocked out of her mind by the old thief 73.

Now that this case has been investigated, Aoki Song also thinks like this: "Then who do you think is the murderer?"

Sato Miwako thought for a while and said: "It is possible that an outsider stole the key and committed the crime. If it is not an outsider, then Murakawa Yasuyuki is a bit suspicious, because he was the only one who left the control room at that time."

Aoki Song nodded, indeed.

As for Lin Yaren, although Qingmusong thought he was highly suspicious before, Qingmusong carefully compared the time.Before Yuriko Minegishi left the dressing room, Lin Yaren had already entered the control room and never left the control room.

The machines in the control room are placed against the wall, and there are no blind spots. During this period, the entire staff in the control room can more or less see him.

Therefore, his suspicion was reduced by doing this.

As for what happened before... Qingmu Song can only say that Lin Yaren might be a little bit tongue-tied, or it was deliberately arranged by the old thief 73.

Qingmusong has also met this kind of person.

The former was a male classmate that Mouri Kogoro met by chance after dinner. He said that around eight o'clock in the evening, he always heard the sound of someone throwing things against the wall. He asked Mouri Kogoro to go take a look, and then a murder case occurred.

In this case, there was a college student who was particularly arrogant and exposed all kinds of information about his classmates, and he didn't need anyone's guidance. But in the end, he was not the murderer.
