My brother is FBI, and I am a crazy wife protector.

Seeing that Inspector Megure was about to press the play button, Takagi hurriedly stopped him.

Ah, wait a minute! Inspector Megure, just in case, let's record and listen at the same time? This way we can listen to it repeatedly... It would be terrible if we accidentally delete it...

That's right... You go and tell the forensic personnel to bring the recording equipment!

"Yes!" Takagi went to the forensic personnel to ask for the recording equipment. It's no wonder that he was too cautious. After all, Inspector Megure was famous for not being good at using equipment...

The forensic personnel sighed in dissatisfaction and said that the recording equipment was in the car and was not brought over. Takagi Shi smiled and asked the forensic personnel to ask for help, and finally persuaded the other party to go back to the car to get the equipment.

"Oh! Mr. Sugimori has a very interesting key hanging on his waist!!" Conan suddenly said in an exaggerated child-like tone.

Of course, in Mr. Kobayashi's eyes, Minghui and Xiaoai are childhood sweethearts, and they both have very good grades. So it's normal that they are relatively smart. Of course, it was Minghui who told Conan about the cuteness.

"Look, there's a silver pony! He must like animals very much!"

Takagi felt a little strange about Conan's sudden change of tone, but he didn't take it seriously after thinking that he was still a child after all. He squatted down to look at the keys on the deceased's waist.

"It's the car key of a Ferrari sports car..."

"Such an expensive car?"

"Maybe Mr. Sugimori is the kind of person who can become penniless just for the car he likes... There are people who would rather cut their living expenses in order to maintain a life with a famous car..."

"Well, the room key is not hung with the car key... That means he is a vain guy."

The forensic personnel brought the recording equipment, and Takagi stepped forward to take it.

"Inspector! The recording equipment has been delivered."

"Oh, great!"

"Although it's just a simple MD recorder..."

"It's just recording, it should be enough!"

Takagi nodded and turned on the recording button.

"Okay, first of all..."

"Boom boom boom——" The huge sound scared Inspector Megure and Takagi.

"This is the sound of the nearby railway crossing..."

"This sound is really penetrating."

It took more than two minutes for the sound to stop.

"Stop..."

"Stop..."

"Okay, now!"

"You guys should be quiet too..." Takagi turned around and reminded the children of the Detective Boys.

First of all, the first one...

The first recording has the sound of the TV station, the second recording has the real-time broadcast of the train, and the third one seems to be from the company. In addition to the person himself, there is also the voice of the editor-in-chief.

The last one is the voice of the reporter, Mr. Kobayashi.

"Well, in short, let the three people who left messages except the teacher come here first. "

"Well, the names of these three people are written in the victim's address book."

Takagi began to call the three people one by one, and Conan listened to the voice on his phone with his ear tilted. After verifying the phone, it seems that the three people have clear alibis... At this time, the sound of the train passing by sounded again.

"It's the sound of the railway crossing again..."

"Speaking of which, that line is also part of the Toudou Loop Line."

"Excuse me... The operation time of the Toudou Loop Line is from 11 am to 5 pm, and the departure and arrival times are always the same every week, right?"

"Yes... In addition to the departure time, there are no morning and evening rush hours on weekends and holidays, so there are very few trains..."

"Anyway, pick up the three people who left the message and ask them first."

"Then I'll go pick them up..."

No... There is only one person who needs to be picked up here!!

"What? You, the four-eyed detective, also thought that the man was the murderer?"

"So do you two already know who the criminal is?

Although there is no evidence yet, I think it is most likely that he is right!

I am not saying that you should be more confident as a detective, I think it is right that he is right. It is a fact that the criminal used the recording phone in this room to forge an alibi for himself after killing Mr. Sugimori. Then, can't we know from the messages left by the three people and the phone calls made by Officer Takagi to the three of them? Who is suspicious and who is innocent... The clue is pollen allergy..."

"Pollen allergy? ”

“So those three people are all related to pollen allergy…

“Yesterday morning at 11:25, Ms. Haruka’s message was accompanied by the sound of a TV broadcast about pollen allergy information…”

“At 11:27, Mr. Higaki’s message contained a different in-car broadcast on the Toudou Loop Line. This was because the conductor in charge of the announcement also had pollen allergy and had been holding back a sneeze, so someone else was asked to take over in the afternoon before the loop line completed a circle…”

“But in Mr. Inaba’s message at 11:29, he was heard asking someone about the time…”

“As a result, the editor-in-chief’s voice answering his question was also recorded. This is related to the pollen allergy. "It has nothing to do with allergies, right?"

"Yes, yes..." Takagi suddenly got stuck, thinking carefully and suddenly couldn't figure out why he had these thoughts?

"Officer Takagi... When you called the editor just now, didn't he say that? A good sleep will cure the cold, and the eyes will no longer be congested... Isn't it the same for the teacher? ? "

"Ah, yes... But I don't have a cold, but hay fever..."

By the way, the editor also has hay fever!"

It's possible that you said that... But what does this have to do with this incident? "

This, this..." Takagi Shigeru got stuck again... HeSuddenly I felt like I was playing a game and I clicked the hint button to know the next step, but even if I saw the next step, I still couldn't figure out what to do next...

Well... Although you said that, it's better to call those three people here..."

The children of the Detective Boys were discussing something.

"What, what happened?"

"It's time for the Toudou Loop Line to go around once!" When my mother and I took that train home, we both fell asleep on the way and missed the stop, but it was too troublesome to change trains, so we just went around again. As a result, we played for more than an hour when we got home. !”

“But, the timetable says exactly one hour!”

Hearing that they were discussing this issue, Takagi smiled helplessly and replied:

“This is because the inner and outer loops are slightly different, about one hour…”

“In this case, it only takes thirty-five or six minutes to reach the Okui Station announced by the conductor with pollen allergies, whether it is the inner or outer loop, right?”

“Ah, yes…”

“Okui Station is right opposite here… If the conductor gets off in the afternoon before the loop line completes a circle, the earliest he can get on the train should be It should be after 11am..."

Yes, yes... Inspector Megure and Takagi Wataru looked at the children expectantly and asked, "Then what?"

"Did Mr. Higaki, who was on the train, record the radio in advance and then play it back when he left a message?"

"I see... Then it sounds like he was on the train!"

"Maybe it was recorded a long time ago..."

"

"That's unlikely... The conductor said he suddenly started to suffer from pollen allergies yesterday. If the conductor was after 11am, If we get on the train, we can only record the broadcast after 11 o'clock..."

"Higaki's message was at 11:27, and Okuho Station is more than half an hour away from here by train, so how could we record the in-train broadcast at Okuho Station..."

As Takagi was talking, he suddenly understood...

"First of all, it is unlikely that he came here to kill Sugimori and then pressed the message button... So is Higaki innocent?"

"Yes..."

"But if the TV sound in the message from Haruka's sister can be easily recorded in this room, right? ”

“Hmm?”

Mitsuhiko pointed at the TV at the scene and said, “Yes! Just use the TV there! After killing someone, press the message button, turn on the TV, and use it as background sound…”

“It sounds like it’s coming from somewhere else… Because no one would think that someone would have the leisure to turn on the TV and make a phone call at the scene of a murder, right?”

“No, that’s right…”

“This is suspiciousIsn't that Miss Haruka?"

"Huh? What's that?"

"Hmm?" Hearing Ayumi's voice, Takagi turned around...

"It's so noisy outside!"

"I can hear it... I need to go there soon..."

"Why is it taking so long!"

The room was filled with the loud noise of a train passing by again.

"Ah, it's the sound of the nearby railway crossing..."

"It seems that I heard this sound just before listening to the answering machine message. It started at 11:24 in the morning and lasted for more than two minutes..."

Inspector Megure and Takagi realized that Miss Haruka's phone message was at 11:25, but there was no sound of a train passing by, which meant that the call was made from a relatively far place. It seemed that Miss Haruka could not have committed a crime...

"The only one left is Mr. Inaba..."

"Is that right, detectives? ”

“Well, if Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi both think so… that’s probably it.”

Takagi immediately called Mr. Inaba’s company but learned that Mr. Inaba had gone out on a motorcycle to meet with a writer.

“Didn’t I tell him to wait there for me to pick him up? !”

The boss of the editorial department explained that the company was short of staff...

Conan pulled Takagi's hand holding the phone and put his face against the phone to listen to what was being said on the other end of the phone.

"Please call him back immediately..."

"It's okay, just let him ride his bike over after he finishes his work! The criminal may not be him... If he is the criminal, he might escape if you chase him too closely!"

Hearing Conan's words, Takagi covered the phone port with his hand and replied:

"That's true..." After waiting for a while, Mr. Inaba arrived at the scene.

Mr. Inaba was very shocked by the death of the deceased, and it seemed reasonable to use the editor-in-chief's voice as an alibi...

"

"It hurts so much!!" Mitsuhiko suddenly bent over, holding his stomach, with a painful expression on his face.

"What's wrong, Mitsuhiko?"

"I suddenly have a stomachache!! Maybe there's something wrong with the milk cup I put in the tea this morning!!"

"The outer packaging bag with the expiration date has been torn. I only know it's from April, but I don't know what date it is..."

"At this time, you have to ask the person who bought the milk cup carefully. If it's two or three days off, it's fine. If it's a year off, it will be a big problem!"

After listening to what Huihara Ai said, Takagi suddenly understood.

"The year is off by a year... Oh, it's a year ago!! That message was recorded on April 22nd a year ago!"

"I see, the pre-recorded tape was played yesterday, a year later, that is, after the murder, as the message for this recorded phone call? In order to forge his alibi..."

Mr. Inaba firmly denied such speculation.

"Teacher Kobayashi! Hay fever is on the riseWhen you are working, do you not want to go outside? ”

“Ah, yes…”

“In that case, the editor-in-chief is also allergic to pollen, right?”

Inaba said that the editor-in-chief just caught a cold.

Inspector Megure turned on the recorder and played Inaba’s message again…

“If you think you have a cold, you should be more likely to say that… It sounds like you are very excited to watch a professional baseball game…”

Inaba explained that the editor-in-chief is a big baseball fan and will go to the baseball game even if he has a cold.

“But… When Officer Takagi first called the editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief said that today is not the Toudou Gymnasium, so he was worried…”

“In this case, Friday’s game is at the Toudou Gymnasium, but Saturday’s is not there. Isn’t it strange?”

“Yes… In order to not be affected by the weather, weekend games are usually held in covered gymnasiums…”

Faced with further questions, Inaba couldn’t make it up, so he had to say, “This is just your speculation. Is there any evidence to prove that I did it? ”

“Ah, the motorcycle parked outside is covered in mud. Don’t you wash it often? The boots are also full of scars and look worn out. Why is this one different? Because you just bought the gloves, right? Even the price tag is still on them!”

“Oh, right! Because I was wearing my usual gloves when I killed someone, they were stained with blood. You noticed it and bought a new pair of gloves…”

“And even the price tag is still there. I’m afraid you noticed it on the way here! Then can we investigate… test other places you may have touched for blood reactions. How about starting with the handlebars of your motorcycle that you haven’t had time to clean yet? ”

After investigation, the forensic personnel found the deceased’s blood on the handlebars of the motorcycle, and Mr. Inaba was also arrested.

Takagi handcuffed Inaba’s hands and took off his suit jacket to cover him to prevent him from being photographed by reporters waiting outside. After stuffing Mr. Inaba into the police car, Takagi finally took a breath.

Another murder caused by uneven distribution. It was originally a good thing to investigate the corruption of politicians, but it turned out to be like this.

“Inspector, do we need to arrange for Ms. Kobayashi to go to the police station for questioning?”

“The evidence is sufficient, so there is no need to trouble her to make another trip.”

After finishing the report on this case, Takagi couldn’t help but think: “How could there be people in this world who look so similar? Then will I feel the same way as Officer Matsuda they mentioned?"

However, as Yumi said, they only look similar at first glance, but there is still an essential difference...
