"I, I will not find a new lover!!!"

Conan and the others were chatting happily, but after hearing the questioning words of the little ones, Takagi became a little angry and shouted at them: "Absolutely not!!"

"I?"

"Who are you talking about?"

Genta and Mitsuhiko looked at Takagi as if they were fools, causing Takagi to panic for a moment: "Who...who are you talking about..."

"We are talking about Hero Akagi!" Ayumi said with a smile: "There are reports in the news that he may go to play football abroad..."

"Hey...that's it..." Takagi's eyes instantly turned into beady eyes after hearing Ayumi's words: "Hahaha...it turns out to be a hero..."

"Ah, so you were discussing this." Chiba said with a smile: "About this, he has already said in the news that he will stay in Neon."

"Really!?"

"Chiba Criminal, did you watch the hero's press conference at noon!?"

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were excited when they heard Chiba's words.

"That's not true, but when I watched "Good Morning at 7", there was a splash screen text above the program at the beginning announcing the news."

Chiba thought for a while and said: "I remember that the content was probably the news that Hero Akagi of the "Tokyo SPIRITS" team announced that he would stay! A press conference would be held at 12 noon."

"Well?" After hearing Chiba's words, Tang Ze seemed to remember something and asked directly: "Chiba, did you see the news anchor reporting news about heroes again later?"

"It seems not..." Qianye thought for a moment and said.

Hearing this, Conan and Karasawa looked at each other and both went to find the newspapers spread out on the table.

After spreading the newspaper, the two of them searched with their fingers and finally settled on a piece of news.

"That's it." Tang Ze smiled and said, "It seems like this is a trick..."

"But there are still some unexplainable reasons for using this trick..." Conan said in deep thought, stroking his chin.

"Physical time absolutely cannot be distorted. That is a distortion of human cognition."

As Karasawa finished his words, the two of them looked at the Masked Superman who were watching at the side.

At this moment, several people happened to have watched the end of an episode, and the opening song of the episode started to play on the TV.

"Hurry up and get to the next season." Genta urged Mitsuhiko, who was holding a remote control.

"Okay, I got it, it will be episode four soon..." Mitsuhiko said while fast forwarding.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the two of them burst out laughing.

"Sometimes I really have to thank them." Conan smiled: "They always help a lot inadvertently."

'After all, this is customary.'

Karasawa complained at the side, but on the surface he nodded in a conciliatory manner and said: "Then I will go to the police car and call Mr. Kato over, and you tell Sato Criminal Investigation and the others not to search."

Because the room was to be searched, Kato was asked to stay in the police car in order to avoid suspicion. However, as soon as Karasawa walked to the entrance, he heard Uncle Chang yelling.

"Do you dare to swear on this criminal cherry pattern!!!"

"It's true, I swear everything I said is true!!"

There was a conversation between the two people outside the door, and judging from the meaning of these two sentences, it is not difficult to imagine the content of the previous conversation between the two.

It's just that Uncle Chang had some doubts about Qianye's testimony, so he tried to bluff Qianye with a surprise attack, but he was destined to get nothing.

After all, Chiba is also a supporting character at the level of Evergreen, and he also has an emotional line, so he will definitely not die or commit a crime or other behavior to exit the show.

"You two are here."

When Tang Ze walked to the door, he saw Uncle Chang holding Qianye's collar. He smiled and interrupted the tense atmosphere between the two of them: "I already know the case almost clearly. What's going on."

"What!" Qianye said excitedly after hearing this: "Have you already known the murderer?"

"Well, I'm going to call Kato now." Tangze nodded and said, "You guys can come in too."

"Wait a minute, you said you wanted to call Kato..." Chiba's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that the prisoner is really him..."

"Unfortunately, that's it." Tang Ze patted Chiba's shoulder: "Come in quickly."

Chiba's expression was a little gloomy. He knew that Tangze must be confident in what he said, so he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, his friend killed someone and used him as a witness, which was a big blow.

But after a moment, Chiba raised his head and looked at Tang Ze seriously and said: "Let me call him. There are some things I want to talk to him about."

"I understand, then Uncle Chang and I will wait for you in the living room." Tangze nodded and agreed to Chiba's request.

"Sorry about what happened before."

Uncle Chang patted Qianye on the shoulder: "But criminals should have such a consciousness. After all, people in our industry will inevitably be annoying..."

The two walked into the house and met Sato and Takagi. After a while, they saw Chiba and Kato walking into the house.

"Didn't we watch programs in the living room from 7:00 to 7:30!? Chiba, you actually suspected that I was the murderer. You were with me in person!!"

Kato Akira's somewhat angry words came over, and Chiba turned around and said in a low voice: "Although it is true, there may be other ways to make me think so, right...

If the criminal is really you, I hope you can admit it now..."

"Then tell me, what is the solution!" Kato Akira laughed angrily when he heard this: "Why do you want to believe that your colleague is unwilling to believe me!?"

"Let me answer this question for you."

Karasawa smiled, opened the newspaper and pointed to the program broadcast time and said: "The "Good Morning Starting Point" you mentioned seems to be broadcast on the Japanese cable radio station at 9 o'clock, right?

You said before that you two drank too much last night and fell asleep in the living room afterwards.

If you let him watch "Good Morning at 7" on the 9 o'clock limited TV station after he has just woken up, it is normal for him not to notice that he is watching a cable station, right?"

"It's true that as you said, Chiba may have just woken up and was not clear-headed, and was watching "Good Morning at 7" on the nine o'clock cable station, but the video tape cannot be fake, right?"

Kato Akira pointed at the TV and said: "Qianye recorded the cooking section of "Good Morning at 7 o'clock", so how do you explain the time on it?

If it was "Good Morning at 7" on the cable station at 9 o'clock, the time would still be displayed in the upper left corner!

We have been together since then. We were watching a baseball game at 2pm and you came right in the middle of it. How could we have time to commit a crime?"

"Maybe." Tangze shook his index finger and reminded: "Did you forget the half hour when Chiba went to take a shower?"

"Haha, half an hour is not enough time for a round trip."

Kato Akira questioned: "Didn't you say that it would take at least an hour and a half to reach the crime scene from here?"

"Indeed... I went to take a shower halfway through watching the video. It was already eleven o'clock... I really don't know how Kato went to the murder scene..." Chiba looked at Tang unconsciously.

Ze hopes there is an explanation.

"Don't underestimate half an hour, Chiba Criminal." Tangze said with a smile: "Only half an hour is enough to complete all the techniques, such as copying video tapes."

"Yes, it's a copy!"

Hearing this, Sato Miwako suddenly realized: "If the bonus is pre-recorded in advance and the "Good Morning Location" at seven o'clock is recorded, even if Chiba later records the nine o'clock version, it only needs to be overwritten.

That’s it!”

"Furthermore, Chiba only needs to record Ms. Okino Yoko's cooking session. It only lasts four minutes. With two recorders, half an hour is enough to finish it all." Takagi added with a smile.

"What did Chiba say when he was watching TV!? If the time was not displayed on the program, he would have seen it!" Kato looked at Chiba and said, "But you didn't notice anything was wrong, right?"

"Ah...it's true..." Qianye nodded and said, "Logically speaking, I should have found out..."

"That's not necessarily true..."

Conan smiled innocently and said, "Just look around your TV screen. With so many notes posted, I guess you're used to the four corners of the screen being blocked, right?

The place where the time is displayed in "Good morning at seven o'clock" is in the upper left corner, and there are several notes blocking it. Even if you don't see it, you will subconsciously think that it is covered by the notes.

As long as the time is displayed on the tape later, you will naturally fill in the gaps in your impression and feel that you are watching the seven o'clock program."

"And Qianye Criminal, you know that, Miss Okino Yoko's cooking unit is behind the weather forecast, so naturally you can record it without looking at the time." Haibara chuckled.

"And there is another point worth paying attention to." Karasawa looked at Chiba and said: "You said that when "Good Morning 7 o'clock" started, there was a text news splash screen with Hero Akagi, right?

But don’t forget that what you are watching is a comprehensive news program. If you are watching the live broadcast at 7 o’clock, such big news will definitely be brought up.”

"It makes sense..." Uncle Chang nodded and said, "But if it is rebroadcast at nine o'clock, even if new news is received, the program will not be able to report it anymore."

"Chiba, have you seen the news about Hero Akagi?" Takagi asked immediately after listening.

"I didn't see it..." After hearing everyone's series of analyses, the scale in Chiba's heart tilted a little bit, and her heart sank deeper and deeper into the bottom of the valley.

"Regarding this, I remember that Chiba went to the bathroom at that time, so I didn't see the news."

After Kato Akira defended this, he looked at everyone and questioned: "And you have said so much, it is only a possibility!

But we watched Masked Superman for six hours after eight o'clock, so it couldn't be fake!

If I take a shower in the middle of thousands of pages, it will be six and a half hours. The time doesn’t match up at all!

If we are watching "Good Morning at 7" which plays from 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock, then it should be 4 o'clock by the time we finish watching Masked Superman, and the baseball game should have ended long ago!

But when you came over, the baseball game was just halfway through, so how could I have time to kill someone?"

"This is how smart you are." Karasawa looked at Kato Akira who was trying to keep his composure and chuckled: "You proposed a theoretical time, but said nothing about the actual broadcast time, thereby distorting our understanding of the time.

Judgment of time.”

"distortion..."

After hearing Tang Ze's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but they saw Tang Ze pointing to the side and not even paying attention to the case, just looking at the three little ones of Masked Superman.

"It was about ten past four when we came to Chiba's apartment."

Tang Ze looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's now six fifteen, which means you've been watching for nearly two hours?"

"But Genta and the others have watched the sixth episode."

Conan smiled and came behind the three little ones and said with a smile: "More than half of the sixth episode has been played now, and it will be over soon."

"Episode 6?" Takagi was a little confused: "Are there skipped episodes in the middle?"

"Probably, otherwise the six episodes would have lasted three hours..."

But before Miwako Sato could finish speaking, the Masked Superman on TV had defeated the enemy and finally disappeared from the screen.

When the opening and ending songs just started playing, Mitsuhiko on the side took the remote control pad and immediately fast forwarded, instantly reminding the two of them!

"So that's it!" Sato Miwako suddenly said: "If you fast-forward at the beginning and end of the film with advertisements, the viewing time will be greatly shortened!"

"That's right, in order to quickly see the follow-up plot, in addition to the main film, they also include trailers and flash forwards."

Conan laughed and said: "In this case, one episode will probably only broadcast the world for twenty minutes."

"Then Chiba, you are like this too!" Takagi turned to look at Chiba and received a positive reply.

"In this way, it only takes 240 minutes to watch the entire twelve episodes, which is four hours."

Karasawa explained: "In other words, although Chiba watched the "Good Morning Seven" program from 9:00 to 10:00, if he only needs to watch the Masked Superman video afterwards, the middle will be blurred.

A two-hour error.”

"Not only that, when Chiba goes to take a shower, his sense of time can also be blurred..."

Uncle Chang opened his slightly narrowed eyes and looked at the flustered Akira Kato: "What a clever trick. Even though the time wasted previously cannot be determined, you took advantage of this to create the illusion that all the times match!"

"But, there are times in Chiba when I have to go to the bathroom or go to the kitchen to get a drink!"

Kato Akira hurriedly retorted: "At that time, Chiba, you must have looked at the time!!"

"Ah...I did check the time..."

"This is not simple. Just change the time on the clock in the room.

After all, the clock in the living room is hung on the wall in the opposite direction from the TV, and as long as the door is closed in the kitchen, no one knows what is going on inside, so it is very easy to secretly adjust the clock, right? "

Karasawa looked at Akira Kato, whose face turned pale, pointed at the clock hanging on the wall and chuckled:

"Before waking Chiba, you set the clocks in the living room and kitchen back by two hours, and then while he was concentrating on watching Masked Superman, you set them back to the correct time little by little.

In this way, you distorted Chiba's sense of time, and then combined with the videotape, your trick of creating an alibi for yourself was successfully completed!"
