"April 22nd is yesterday, right? You should be able to find out what time the program is broadcast by asking the TV station."
"You can also find out if you ask my wife." Memu Police Department said as he pressed the button to switch to the next message.
"I'm Hinoki. I want to apologize to you in person. I'm on my way to your house now... Since you're not here, let's talk about it another time... I'm really sorry about the car. Goodbye... 11:27 am, Friday
…”
This message also has a background voice: "The next stop is Aosui - Aosui - please pay attention when you get off..."
Megure Police Department nodded: "The sound coming from behind is the announcement on the tram, right?"
Officer Takagi calculated in his mind: "Osui Station is quite far from here. Even if you take the train, it will take about 30 minutes..."
Mumu Police Department raised his hand and pressed the button for the next item, and said at the same time: "Let's ask the station attendant later..."
The third message sounded: "Uh... I am Inaba from Koeikan. I would like to ask how the report I asked you to write is going... Editor-in-Chief, what is today's date?"
"April 22, 11:28 am!" The voice on the other end of the message was not very loud, but the answer could be heard clearly.
"...That's it, there's still one week before the deadline, so please work hard! By the way, I don't mind that insider report anymore. Please give me your advice in the future!"
"Editor-in-Chief, are you really going to watch the night game today?" "Don't worry! We are at the Tokyo Dome today!" It seems that because he hung up the message while talking, there was a short paragraph at the end of the message.
dialogue.
"11:29 a.m., Friday..." the phone announced the time of this message.
"It looks like the call was from the company. The person who left the message, the editor-in-chief and another person..." Officer Takagi fell into thinking.
"Is Xingrong Hall quite far away from here?" The Mu Mu Police Department still has some impressions of the large and small companies within its jurisdiction.
"That's right. If you take the train, you have to change trains, and it takes an hour to drive..." Officer Takagi replied.
When the police heard this, they didn't seem to find any obvious flaws. They could only listen to the fourth message first.
"Ah, I, I am Xiaolin, the tutor of Class B, Grade 1, Didan Elementary School who called just now...Hello! Hello! Ah...I'm sorry, I seem to have hay fever, hello! I have something to think about.
Excuse me, but I’ll wait till tomorrow when I can’t bother you… See you tomorrow… Hello! 11:30 am, Friday.”
Upon hearing this message, Mitsuhiko and Genta suddenly turned to look at Teacher Xiaolin.
"Is this the teacher's voice?" Mitsuhiko asked Teacher Xiaolin for confirmation.
Yuanta was stunned for two seconds and said loudly: "So the teacher may be the murderer?!"
Ayumi's expression changed when she heard this: "What?"
Hui Yuan Ai sighed softly and looked at the startled children helplessly: "That's impossible... If the teacher is really the murderer, she will break in when we find the body.
The body is close to the house..."
She said calmly: "Because in this way, even if the police find her hair or fingerprints at the murder scene, they can easily excuse it..."
"Yes, I can prove this. After finishing the third period of class, Teacher Xiaolin returned to the office. Her office and mine were next door, and she never left during that time."
Yuan Huaiyu added. When he said this, the Memu Police Department and Officer Takagi immediately ruled out the suspicion of Teacher Xiaolin.
However, the Memu Police Department still wanted to ask more clearly: "By the way, what did you want to ask him about in the message you mentioned..."
"Uh... Well, I want to publish the children's interview in the school magazine, so I plan to ask him if I can film the whole interview process..." Teacher Xiaolin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
"So that message was left at 11:30 yesterday morning, right?"
"Yes, the bell for the fourth period happened to be ringing at that time. After finishing the third period at 11:22 yesterday, I called Mr. Sugimori and said he was willing to be interviewed. Then I suddenly remembered that I still had this matter that I had not asked.
After asking for his opinion, I hurriedly called again, but by that time, I had already entered the answering mode."
The Memu Police Department immediately deduced: "It seems that the murderer committed the crime between 11:22 and 11:30..."
Officer Takagi added on the side: "No, according to the teacher's testimony, the time of this phone call is correct, so the time of the crime can be narrowed down a bit. The answer mode was turned on at 11:22 to leave the first message.
Within three minutes of 11:25..."
"Three minutes? It's really neat and tidy..." Police Department Memu exclaimed.
"That's right!" Teacher Xiao Lin seemed to have remembered something at this time and said quickly, "When I called him to tell him that he could be interviewed, he said that someone would come to see him later..."
"Did you ask the visitor's name?" Officer Takagi opened his eyes slightly.
"No..." Teacher Xiaolin lowered his head slightly.
After listening to the four messages, Mu Mu Police Department thought for a moment and then made a final decision: "Anyway, let's call the other three people here first..."
"Okay... there is also contact information in the deceased's notepad." Officer Takagi immediately picked up the phone and carried out the instructions from the Qimu Police Department.
He followed the order and dialed the first person's phone number first.
"Miss Haruka Hedata, right? I want to ask about Mr. Sugimori... Around noon yesterday, did you leave a message on his answering machine?"
A young female voice soon came from the other end of the hands-free phone.
"Well, yes. Because I was very drunk the night before yesterday and I kept pestering him..."
Officer Takagi immediately asked: "Do you remember where you made the call? Is there anyone around to prove it for you?"
"Huh?" The other end of the phone seemed confused, "I just made the call from my own apartment, nothing happened... What? Did something happen to Shansen?!"
"Oh! It's okay... Please tell us the details after you get here... We will pick you up. What is your address there..."
In this way, Takagi asked the other party's address, which was in Rishen Town 1-chome.
"Lishan Town? It's quite far from here..."
Conan and the three little ones gathered around the table to listen and record the relevant information very carefully, while Yuan Huaiyu and Huihara Ai stood not far away and watched.
"What's wrong? You look like you want to laugh but you can't hold it back..." Hui Yuan Ai looked up at him.
Yuan Huaiyu responded with a few clear coughs: "Nothing, just sighing, not only this Mr. Shansen, but the murderer is also very unlucky..."
