They were originally going around to get food, but after seeing Officer Takagi, they all gathered around. After hearing Officer Takagi tell what happened nearby, they no longer wanted to eat.
"In this hotel?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"Hush - shush - this matter is not public at the moment!" Officer Takagi raised his hand anxiously in front of his lips, signaling them to keep their voices down so as not to cause panic.
"Then who is the deceased?" Conan looked at him.
"He is the president of the foreign artist management company whose office is on the 39th floor of this hotel."
Officer Takagi quickly described the situation to them: "The person who found the scene was his secretary. I heard that as soon as she returned to the office, she saw the president sitting on the office chair covered in blood, with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body."
"According to the secretary, the president made an appointment to meet with a reserve artist today. The strange thing is that I heard that the reserve artist was picked by the president himself on the street. The secretary has not met him yet, so he doesn't know who he is at all.
A person’s name and appearance.”
As soon as Conan heard this, he knew that when Officer Takagi introduced this reserve artist, he must be highly suspected of committing the crime.
"When did the secretary report the crime?" Yuan Huaiyu asked.
Gao Mushe immediately stood up straight and said to Yuan Huaiyu: "Two or three minutes ago, the crime was committed one or two minutes earlier! I happened to be investigating other cases nearby, so I was able to rush over immediately..."
Conan felt something was wrong when he heard this: "Officer Takagi, how did you know the time when the deceased was killed?"
Officer Takagi looked solemn: "The secretary was sorting things in the warehouse two floors down. Five minutes ago, the president called her to find something. A minute later, she called the president to report the results.
, and no one answered.”
"The murderer is most likely still in this building." Yuan Huaiyu said firmly.
Takagi Wataru opened his eyes wide: "Ah? But it has been more than five minutes since he committed the crime? Such a long time should be enough for him to run out, right?"
"You see, two of the three elevators are out of order. Although one is still working, there are many people who want to take the elevator, and they are all crowded at the door. The elevator is also crowded with customers coming down from the food court on the top floor." Conan commented.
he explained.
Officer Takagi also had a bright idea: "So, after he fired, he would smell of gunpowder smoke, and he would be easily noticed by others when taking the elevator... In this way, if the elevator is crowded with people, he may not be able to take the elevator.
Already."
"That's right, if you have to take the stairs, you may not have enough time, and if you run wildly, the sweaty foreigner is likely to be remembered by others - so the murderer will most likely climb five floors to get to the delicious food on the top floor.
Go out to eat on the street, or hide in the toilet on a certain floor..." Yuan Huaiyu nodded and expressed his inference.
Haihara Ai continued what he said: "No matter what the situation is, it is not difficult for the police to find a suspicious foreigner in this building..."
Officer Takagi's eyes gradually brightened.
…
Not long after, the Memu Police Department led a team from the Metropolitan Police Department to the scene. At the same time, the boss's secretary was also brought to the crime scene for questioning.
"When you found the president's body, there was no one else in the room?" Megure Police Department confirmed again.
"Yes, that's right." The foreign secretary nodded, "At that time, the president asked me to find the files of the artists he hired ten years ago. After I found them, I called him to ask if he wanted to get them.
Office...but the phone rang for a long time and no one answered."
Memu Police Department nodded slightly: "By the way, are you really completely unaware of the reserve artist that the president is scheduled to meet today?"
"Yes, before the president officially adopts an artist, he will not let that person be exposed first. I was the same way at that time..." The secretary named Irina Pama shook her head.
"Are you also an artist?" Mumu Police Department raised his head.
The secretary admitted: "Yes! Because my Japanese reading and writing skills are not good, the president asked me to practice as a secretary..."
She said with some embarrassment: "But Chinese characters are really difficult to learn... Until now, I still ask the president to use English when sending emails to me..."
The Mumu Police Department was a bit confused: "Sigh... without a name and appearance, it would be very difficult to find the murderer..."
"Officer! We found two suspects!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Officer Takagi walked in speaking loudly.
Behind him, there were two foreigners standing at the door, one was a tall and thin white man, and the other was a simple and honest black man.
"They are all suspicious foreigners who speak fluent Japanese! One is wandering in the food court on the top floor, and the other is in the toilet on that floor!"
Officer Takagi said.
After his introduction, the white man was Toby Kainz, and the black man was Hal Bogner.
"Wait a minute, where are they suspicious?"
The police department was still confused.
"It was the opinion put forward by Mr. Yuan and Conan..."
He looked at Yuan Huaiyu and Conan on the side and repeated their speculations.
When the Mumu Police Department heard this, they glared at him with twitching lips: "You disclosed the case details without authorization again?"
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Officer Takagi knew he was in the wrong and quickly apologized, "I just said it casually, just as usual..."
"Are these two suspects the only ones found?" When the Mumu Police Department saw that the targets disclosed included Yuan Huaiyu, they didn't say anything more.
"No... Chiba and the others are checking the stairwell to prevent the murderer from running out via the stairs..." Before Takagi could finish his words, there was the sound of running behind him.
"Officer!" Officer Chiba rushed in, "There is another person! There is a foreign man covered in sweat!"
He pulled the man outside the door: "Hey, come in quickly..."
Conan's very familiar voice came from outside the door: "I told you, it has nothing to do with me..."
"Stop blabbering and come in quickly!" Officer Chiba pulled a burly man into the room with a sudden pull.
Conan was stunned when he saw this man's face: a wide chin, a band-aid on the left side of his face, and now he looked frightened and sweating profusely...
