Officer Memu nodded and turned his attention to the remaining suspects.
To be honest, Officer Megure had basically ruled out the possibility of Belmode being the murderer.
Because Belmode had just returned from the beautiful country not long ago, and had no previous contact with Tonkou Shigehiko, there really was no motive to kill him.
"Officer, you just said that someone called the police to report the crime. Who was this person who called the police to report the crime?"
Seeing Officer Megure looking at him, Masuyama Kensan asked without changing his expression: "How did the person who called the police know that a case would happen here tonight? Maybe he is the murderer?"
You must know that this mission to assassinate Shigehiko Tonguchi was a secret mission issued by Renya Karasuma himself.
Apart from Kenzo Matoyama, the executor, the only people who knew about it were Gin, Vodka and Belmod.
Therefore, Kenzo Masama was very curious, how did the reporter who called the police know about this incident?
Masuyama Kenzo must find out whether this incident is just a coincidence, or whether there is another traitor in the organization.
Faced with the inquiry from Kenzo Masuyama, Officer Megure shook his head and said: "The person who called us used a voice changer. Our police don't know whether he is a boy or a girl?"
In fact, Officer Megure knew that the caller was Kudo Shinichi, but Kudo Shinichi specifically told him not to expose his information.
Moreover, Officer Megure believed that Kudo Shinichi would never be the murderer of Tonguchi Shigehiko, so he would naturally not tell the truth to Masayama Kenzo.
On the other hand, Conan is not idle either, he is looking around for clues left by the murderer.
I don’t know if it’s because the protagonist’s aura is showing off his power, or if Pisk’s luck is too bad?
Conan actually found a new clue on the dining table not far away, which was a broken metal ring.
Looking at the incomplete metal ring, Conan frowned slightly and said, "This is the hanging ring of an art lamp, but why does it appear in a place like this?"
Because the dining table is at least five meters away from where the art lamp fell, even if the art lamp falls and causes the accessories on it to splash, it should not fly that far.
"And the gap in this metal hanging ring is also a bit strange. Could it be that..."
Conan stared at the metal ring carefully for a while, then a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly got under the table with the metal ring.
Sure enough!
When Conan got under the table covered by the tablecloth, in the dark environment, the metal ring in his hand began to glow.
Combined with the purple handkerchief that smelled of gunpowder that Conan just picked up, he already understood the murderer's method of committing the crime.
If Conan guessed correctly, the murderer should have applied fluorescent agent on the connecting ring of the art lamp in advance.
In this way, even if the hall is dark, the murderer can use fluorescent agent to confirm the position of the hanging ring, break the hanging ring with a pistol, and kill Shigehiko Tonkou under the art lamp.
The reason why others did not notice the murderer shooting was because the murderer installed a silencer on the pistol and also wrapped a handkerchief on the pistol to cover up the fire when the gun was fired, which resulted in the smell of gunpowder remaining on the handkerchief.
.
Now that he has deduced the murderer's modus operandi, Conan can rule out most of the seven suspects.
If you want to use a pistol to break the hanging ring of an art lamp, you must be at a certain distance from the art lamp and shoot from a specific angle.
Therefore, the four guests closest to the art lamp can be eliminated as suspects first.
As for Kenzo Masuyama, Mr. Tarumi and Miss Nanjo, who are relatively far away from the art lamp, the suspicion of the three of them has become greater, and the murderer should be among them.
It's just that Conan still lacks decisive evidence, and he can't turn himself into a child. He told Officer Megure everything and asked Officer Megure to forcibly detain Kenzo Masayama and the others.
do not forget!
The guests who came to attend this memorial service were all rich or noble.
Moreover, Kenzo Masama is also the chairman of Masama Automobile Company. Unless the police can produce conclusive evidence, it will be difficult to take him back to the police station for investigation.
"Qingming, Xiaoai, why are you here? I finally found you, come home with me quickly!"
Before Conan could get out from under the table, Sonoko, wearing a black evening gown, suddenly ran over, took Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai's little hands and walked out.
Yuanzi was originally not interested in such boring memorial services, but now that another murder has occurred here, she is even less willing to stay here for a long time.
Because the guests who came to attend the memorial service were all elites from all walks of life in the island country, the police did not dare to forcibly detain them in the Abeido Hotel.
Except for the seven people who are most suspected, other guests can leave directly.
"Sister Sonoko, please wait a moment! Even if we want to leave, we have to say hello to Conan before leaving~"
Hearing what Suzuki Seimei said, Sonoko looked surprised and said, "Why is Conan here? Are Xiaolan and the others here too?"
"Sister Xiaolan and Uncle Maori didn't come. Conan sneaked over by himself and said he wanted to ask for autographs from celebrities here."
Yuanzi was a little surprised and said: "Looking for a celebrity's autograph? I didn't expect that this little devil also likes to chase stars!"
Suzuki Seimei walked to the dining table, lifted the tablecloth, and asked Conan, who was thinking hard, "Conan, we are going home, do you want to come with us?"
"You guys go back first!"
Of course Conan would not leave at this time. He waved his hand and said, "I still have some things to do. I will ask Dr. Ali to drive to pick me up later. You don't have to worry about me."
"Then let's go first~"
When Suzuki Seimei heard this, he didn't force it and followed Sonoko out of the Abeido Hotel first.
As soon as Suzuki Seimei and the others left the Cupido Hotel, Tsunade, disguised as Miyano Shiho, walked out of the women's restroom.
"That is……"
Kenzo Masuyama, who was cooperating with the police in their investigation, suddenly saw Shiho Miyano wearing a black windbreaker walking through the hotel corridor, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Kenzo Masuyama was very excited, but on the surface he asked calmly: "Officer Megure, can I go to the toilet?"
"Of course! As long as you don't leave the Cupido Hotel for the time being, and cooperate with our police investigation at any time."
Officer Megure also didn't want to offend him. A famous entrepreneur like Masuyama Kenzo would naturally not restrict his personal freedom too much.
After getting permission from Officer Megure, Kenzo Masayama suppressed his excitement and chased in the direction Miyano Shiho left.
