Stay away from Conan

Chapter 736 The end of the trip to Izu

Looking at the content description on the settlement panel, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be very surprised by the words "This item has been unlocked", thinking that this was like the "Wheel of Fortune", becoming a "one-time item" that could be purchased repeatedly when needed. Sexual props”, which was obviously something I had never encountered before.

In this way, it means that you don't have to worry about the timing of use, and you won't have to worry about what to do when you use it up like other "one-time props" that are rewards.

In this case, if this person uses this item to temporarily increase his strength, I wonder if he will be able to compare with Kyogoku Makoto——

At least, you can use this to see the effectiveness of this "disposable prop".

But after thinking about it carefully, Gao Yuan still rejected the idea——

"Forget it, let's fight Kyogoku really... This gap is probably not something that can be made up by pure strength."

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan could only smile helplessly.

In response, when she heard Gao Yuan pronounce the name Kyogoku Makoto, Xiaolan, who was comforting Sonoko, could not help but unexpectedly raised her head and looked at the boy who saved Sonoko, and said in surprise:

"Kyogoku Makoto?"

"Hey? Sister Xiaolan, have you heard of this name?"

Having recognized the other person as a staff member of the hotel where he and others had stayed before, Conan noticed that Xiaolan had such a surprised reaction to the other person's name, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"No wonder...I thought I had seen it somewhere before..."

Xiaolan murmured, and then replied to Conan:

"Yes. He is the karate master of Abedo High School, Kyogoku Makoto, who is known as the 'Kicking Prince'. I didn't expect to meet him here, and he also saved Sonoko..."

Saying that, after Xiaolan helped Sonoko up, she helped Sonoko, who was still frightened, to Kyogoku Makoto, and thanked her very gratefully:

"Hello, Mr. Kyogoku, thank you very much for saving Sonoko. I am Mao Lilan from Teidan High School, and I also study karate..."

"I know you."

However, before Xiaolan finished speaking, Kyogoku Zhen said calmly.

"Why?"

Surprisingly, Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who had recovered a little, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"I recognized you when you checked into my hotel."

Kyogoku Makoto explained, and then looked at Masahiko Michowaki who was being taken away by the police at this moment, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Really...he is indeed a dangerous person..."

"Huh? You said 'as expected'?"

Hearing this, Conan on the side couldn't help but noticed something, so he asked:

"Have you always suspected that man?"

Thinking of Kyogoku's true attitude towards Masahiko Dowaki at the hotel yesterday, Conan guessed this.

"to be exact……"

Kyogoku really did not deny this, and he looked at Sonoko seriously and said calmly:

"I've been paying attention to you. That man also struck up a conversation with two or three women before he met you. The woman who was killed at the fireworks display last night, I also saw that man strike up a conversation with her yesterday morning, so I'm a little bit Worry...until you meet your detective friend..."

"But... why?"

Hearing Kyogoku Zhen say "I've been paying attention to myself", Sonoko felt a little sad, but still asked curiously:

"I don't remember knowing you?"

"Although you don't know it, I met you once during a karate competition..."

In this regard, Kyogoku said honestly:

"The way you desperately tried to cheer for your friend at that time is unforgettable to me..."

Saying that, Kyogoku turned around, as if planning to leave, with his back to Sonoko, and then said with a slight blush:

"Also, I would like to advise you to stop wearing clothes that are very provocative to boys... Of course, if you want to take my words as a joke from a boy who has a crush on you, it's okay..."

After saying that, Kyogoku walked away.

In this regard, after hearing Kyogoku Makoto's words and looking at Kyogoku Makoto's handsome figure walking away, Sonoko couldn't help but blush on her face——

"Garden!"

Seeing this, Xiaolan, who probably understood what was going on, couldn't help but patted Yuanzi on the back in surprise, and said as if to encourage her:

"That's great! This time, you met a nice boy!"

Regarding this, Yuanzi couldn't help but feel shy and was completely speechless.

Conan on the side, after roughly understanding why Kyogoku Jin helped Sonoko, couldn't help but be curious about the arrest of Masahiko Michowaki. He looked at Takato on the side and asked him:

"Brother Akechi, what is going on? Could it be that the murderer of the two incidents has really been confirmed to be Masahiko Michowaki?"

"yes……"

In this regard, after watching the incident just ended, everyone who was originally staying in the hall slowly walked out and looked at Gao Yuan who should know the truth. Among them, Kamijou Hideko was the first to ask:

"Mr. Detective, what is going on?"

"He dared to take hostages in front of the police and tried to escape. It was obvious that he was forced into a desperate situation at that time. It seems that he is indeed an out-and-out criminal who has committed major crimes..."

Kinjo Genichiro said so.

"But, what does this have to do with the 'Night Baron'? Could it be that Ehara Tokio's death is also related to this person who has nothing to do with our 'activities'?"

Konno Shiro pushed up his glasses, still curious about the "Night Baron".

In response to everyone's inquiries, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly and had to slowly give the answer:

"Indeed... as far as the existing evidence is concerned, the woman named Chiharu Orimoto who was killed at the fireworks display last night, and Tokio Ehara's fall were all crimes committed by that man. Moreover, he is also suspected of He had killed several brown-haired women in succession before, and the day before yesterday, he killed a police officer who was chasing him..."

"But how did you do it? Doesn't Michowaki Masahiko have an alibi?"

Conan already knew most of the truth about this, so he asked the core points straightforwardly.

Therefore, Gao Yuan also said directly:

"This is actually very simple... The key to Michowaki Masahiko's method of creating an alibi is actually his car!"

"Car?"

Conan wondered.

"Last night, because the police received a report and found a Chiba Prefecture policeman drowned in the nearby sea, the police here contacted the Chiba Prefecture police and learned that from a long time ago, The Chiba Prefectural Police suspected that Masahiko Michowaki was related to several previous murders of brown-haired women. However, the Chiba Prefectural Police traced it for a long time and could not find evidence that he had committed the crime. Instead, they could only confirm that he had committed the crime. Incidents of vehicle theft..."

In response to Conan's inquiry, Gao Yuan replied calmly, and when he said this, he seemed very serious:

"And it was the fact that 'Michiwaki Masahiko had a history of stealing cars' that convinced me of his method of creating an alibi! It was to use the car!"

"Car?"

Hearing this, Conan said a little puzzled, while silently thinking in his heart:

"Indeed, because of the two parking positions, even if Masahiko Michowaki had time to stay out of public sight, the distance between the cars made it impossible for him to use such a short time to commit the crime, thereby creating an alibi... But What does this have to do with car theft?”

For this reason, although Conan wanted to ask this question out loud, he still knew that Gao Yuan would definitely give an explanation, so he waited quietly.

As for the other people present, most of them were not very clear about the fireworks display, so most of them didn't say much.

Therefore, Gao Yuan's next answer was almost equivalent to speaking to Conan——

"Michiwaki Masahiko was basically with Xiaolan and you yesterday, but in fact, he actually had four periods of time when no one knew where he went."

Gao Yuan said this, and when he heard this, Xiaolan, who was in Yuai with Masahiko Michowaki yesterday, couldn't help but look a little surprised and said:

"Four? Let me think about it..."

Saying that, Xiaolan tried to recall what happened yesterday——

"Yesterday evening at around six o'clock, we went to the open-air restaurant of this hotel with Mr. Michowaki to eat. He did leave for more than ten minutes during the meal. Then at around seven o'clock after the meal, we sat together with Mr. Michowaki. Our car arrived at the fireworks display. At that time, Masahiko Michowaki dropped us off because he wanted to park the car in the parking lot, and then he went to park the car. We met him at the fireworks display venue after waiting for more than ten minutes...

"After that, when we were buying takoyaki, and when we moved to the hotel in the evening, Mr. Michowaki left for a period of time due to parking... Are these four time periods?"

Xiaolan analyzed this, and then asked Gao Yuan for confirmation.

Gao Yuan also nodded and affirmed:

"Yes, these are the four time periods. As long as Michowaki Masahiko makes good use of these four time periods, he can perfectly complete the two incidents last night!"

"But...it does take more than ten minutes to walk from where he parked his car?"

Conan was duly confused and said:

"Even if he runs, it's hard for him to save much time, so what can he do to use that little time?"

"It's simple because we were misled into thinking he actually parked in the car park!"

Gao Yuan seriously stated the core of the conspiracy——

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan, Yuanzi and other insiders present could not help but express surprise at Gao Yuan's statement, while Gao Yuan continued to explain:

"A simple explanation may be a bit difficult to understand, so let me briefly summarize what happened..."

With that said, Gao Yuan began to describe the logic of the events in chronological order:

"First of all, it was after six o'clock in the evening when you followed Masahiko Michowaki to the open-air restaurant of this hotel for dinner. At that time, Masahiko Michowaki did not park his car in the parking lot, but parked directly outside the hotel in a temporary parking lot. At the parking point - and here, bringing you here for dinner was the most critical step when he killed the female victim Chiharu Orimoto.

"Chiharu Orimoto also lived in this Izu Princess Hotel. At that time, taking advantage of the break of eating, Masahiko Michowaki must have disguised himself as a hotel staff, knocked on Chiharu Orimoto's door, and passed out with anesthetics Orimoto Chiharu took the unconscious Chiharu Orimoto outside the hotel on a cart and put it into the trunk of his car that was parked outside the hotel at the time! "

"What! You mean...the deceased was..."

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Yuanzi suddenly showed expressions of horror and disbelief, while Conan frowned seriously——

"Yes, the deceased was transported from the hotel to the fireworks display in that car just like you."

Gao Yuan continued:

"After dropping you off at the entrance of the fireworks display venue, Michowaki Masahiko said he was going to park the car in a nearby parking lot, but in fact he just parked the car next to the road next to the woods. Therefore, from It didn't take more than a few minutes to get to the fireworks display venue, so he took advantage of that time to buy a piece of takoyaki in advance——

"Since it was still early for the fireworks display, there were not many people at the venue, so he was able to buy takoyaki quickly and put the takoyaki he bought back in the car before returning. Join you, so it took him about ten minutes in the end."

Hearing this, Xiaolan and others' expressions suddenly became shocked, and after Conan heard this, he finally understood what happened next——

"After that, if Masahiko Michowaki finds an opportunity to separate from you again on the pretext of buying takoyaki, he can take the opportunity to return to the car parked next to the woods and heat the takoyaki with the connected electrical appliances in the car. , then took the deceased out of the car, put on the clothes that had been prepared to prevent blood stains on her body, and killed her in the woods. In the end, she only had to put the blood-stained clothes and the murder weapon back into the car, and take away the heated Takoyaki, I can come back and join you again.”

Gao Yuan explained.

"But...but..."

But Xiaolan still felt puzzled by this explanation:

"In this case, why did Mr. Michowaki's car end up in the parking lot? How did he park the car near the woods in the parking lot?"

"If he had driven to the parking lot after committing the crime and disposed of the evidence, he would not have been able to come back within more than ten minutes, so this situation is impossible."

Regarding Xiaolan's analysis, Gao Yuan also said the same thing, which made Xiaolan and others confused.

But what Gao Yuan said next was even more surprising:

"Therefore, what Masahiko Michowaki actually did after committing the crime was to start the engine of the car, put down the handbrake, let the car follow the slope of the road, and drive into the sea by himself, so that he could perfectly process the evidence used. Fall! And the car parked in the parking lot was already parked there!"

"What!"

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but be surprised——

The cost of letting one car fall into the sea and preparing another car in advance...

"Steal a car?"

But at this time, Xiao Ai had already noticed the crux of the problem.

"Yes. It seems like a high price to pay to destroy one of your own cars in order to commit a crime, but for Masahiko Michowaki, it is not a price at all. Because he has a history of stealing cars, he can steal cars in advance. By stealing several cars of the same model and replacing them with fake license plates with the same number, this trick can be successfully completed. "

Gao Yuan replied:

"It was quite a distance from the slope of the road to the cliff near the sea. It was impossible for the police to think that the murderer would dispose of the body in this way. At that time, the fireworks for the fireworks display were about to be set off, and it was far away from the place where the fireworks were watched. So no one even noticed that the car crashed into the sea."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time. With the emergence of this clue, Conan immediately clarified the truth behind the incident of Ehara Tokio falling from the building——

"After that, there was the incident of Ehara Tokio falling from the building..."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but slow down as he spoke, and said lightly as if he was helpless:

"Actually, after knowing that Masahiko Michowaki could prepare an identical car in advance, Tokio Ehara's alibi for the last time when Tokio Ehara fell from the building was easily cracked——

"He said he was going to park his car, but in fact he parked his car directly outside the hotel. The car in the parking lot near the beach seemed to be his car, but in fact he had parked it there a long time ago.

"At about 11 o'clock at that time, he parked the car directly outside the hotel, and after taking off the fake license plate affixed to the license plate, he returned to the hotel, went to the deceased Chiharu Orimoto's room, and used the deceased's key to open the door. I left the room and prepared to get rid of some things...

"Then, unexpectedly, he saw Ehara Tokio also come to Orimoto Chiharu's room..."

"What? Why is that?"

Hearing this, several people who participated in the "Mysterious Journey" couldn't help but feel curious and began to ask questions.

"Because, Orimoto Chiharu and Ehara Tokio are both hackers who came here for the 'Night Baron', and they had contacted each other online beforehand."

Gao Yuan explained:

"The police investigated the portable computers of Chiharu Orimoto and Tokio Ehara and found evidence that the two had secret contacts. Moreover, through those records, the police learned that Tokio Ehara promised to Chiharu Orimoto that if the person involved was found, It was evidence of the 'Night Baron', so he went directly to her room to discuss countermeasures.

"Therefore, I think Ehara Tokio found the 'Night Baron' clothes in someone's room. He thought this was enough to prove who the organizer of the event was the 'Night Baron', so he put on those clothes. , came to the agreed upon room, but unexpectedly bumped into Michioki Masahiko who was secretly looking for something in Orimoto Chiharu's room, so Michiowaki Masahiko pushed Ehara Tokio downstairs in order to silence him. "

With that said, Takato then told the story of the police officer falling into the sea that happened the night before, as well as the alleged incident of the policeman falling into the sea in Chiharu Orimoto's photo, indicating the murder motive of Masahiko Michowaki——

"Therefore, when Masahiko Michowaki pushed the policeman into the sea, he probably noticed that the flash of the camera was photographing his side, so in order to kill him and destroy the photos, he found the man who was carrying the camera at the fireworks display the day before yesterday. Chiharu Orimoto planned this murder, and he went to Sonoko specifically to ask you to prove his alibi for him. At the same time..."

As he spoke, Gao Yuan said seriously:

"He probably also planned to kill Yuanzi in the end...because of the fireworks display the day before yesterday, Yuanzi must have had a camera in his hand, right?"

——This is what I learned from Kyogoku Mana. Sonoko has always carried a camera with her since she came to Izu, and Sonoko and the others also participated in the fireworks display the day before yesterday.

Therefore, it seems that Masahiko Michowaki used the camera as a clue to identify Sonoko and Chiharu Orimoto.

Moreover, whether it was luck or misfortune, both of them had brown hair, which made Masahiko Michowaki, who was specialized in killing brown-haired women, inevitably have the desire to kill...

According to what Kyogoku really saw, because Chiharu Orimoto was not easy to strike up a conversation with, Masahiko Michowaki's attempt to strike up a conversation with Chiharu Orimoto ended up being completely unhappy.

So later on, Masahiko Michowaki probably found out where Orimoto Chiharu lived in Izu, and then he thought of a way to strike up a conversation with Sonoko, and at the same time he thought of a way to kill Orimoto Chiharu.

Unexpectedly, Tokio Ehara was unlucky enough to be involved in this incident, and was silenced by Masahiko Michowaki...

At this point, the trip to Izu has basically come to an end. Regarding the identity of the "Night Baron" that the participants of the "Mysterious Journey" were most concerned about, Akiko Sayama finally confessed to everyone.

However, because the "Night Baron" virus turned out to be in vain in the end, everyone who came for the virus still couldn't help but feel helpless...
