54. Dark night
When there is doubt, everything will be done.
"Since that's the case, I need to ask you all."
Kogoro Maori looked at everyone, "At around ten o'clock, where are you when Mr. Ehara fell down?"
When the Henggou police officer heard this, he quickly ordered his police officers to "get a room from the hotel immediately for police investigation."
"That body and clothes?"
"Before the interrogation is completed, it will be temporarily placed in the hotel office."
After the arrangements were made, in the room provided by the hotel, people related to the Duke of Dark Night gathered here to be questioned separately.
Chen Xing and Ai Haibara were outsiders, but because they knew about the relevant matters, they also came to cooperate with the investigation.
Of course, it was him and his wooden knife that attracted the attention of Officer Henggou.
"So you are Miss Xiaolan's friend." Police Officer Henggou scratched his head and smiled.
Chen Xing nodded.
"Then what is this kid?" Officer Yokogami looked at Ai Haibara.
"I came with my brother." Haibara Ai pulled the corner of Chenyuki's clothes with an innocent expression, "Will the police officer suspect that I was killing someone?"
"Uh, of course not." Mr. Henggou smiled awkwardly.
"When the incident happened, we took a shower in the room." Chen Xing said.
Officer Henggou nodded slightly. The high school student also brought a child with him and came with Maori's family. Of course, the suspicion was much less.
"You... take a bath?" Conan leaned over to Ai Haibara and raised his eyebrows.
Haibara Ai glanced at him: "Haha, do you think you are like you and your sister Xiaolan?"
Conan was a little embarrassed and angry, "Nothing!"
"It's more obvious if you want to cover it up." Haibara Ai snorted lightly.
Conan's face froze and he didn't dare to joke anymore.
On the other hand, Kogoro Mouri began to ask others.
Maeda Satoshi said that during the incident, he had been enjoying the night view with Xiaolan and Conan at the observation deck.
"It was already past ten o'clock after I separated from them."
"What he said is true, dad!" Ran Maori testified to his idol.
Seeing this, Ai Haibara hit Conan's shoulder in a slight manner. The latter's face turned dark and he didn't say a word.
The next person to be asked was Hideko Kanejo. As soon as the woman came in, she sat directly on Kogoro Mouri's sofa and stuck her whole body against him.
"My absenteeism proves that the most perfect, because I have been staying in the bar with you at the time of the incident." She touched Kogoro Mouri's face and teased: "Is that right, Detective?"
"Yes, of course yes." Kogoro Mouri smirked.
The Henggou police officer in charge of the record could not stand it and kept coughing.
Conan walked by and said inadvertently: "But uncle didn't he get drunk in the end?"
"The words are right." Hideko Kamijo tightened her body to Kogoro Mori again.
"Cough, okay, next one." Police Officer Henggou said quickly.
Jincheng Genichiro said calmly: "At that time, I happened to be in the open-air restaurant where Mr. Ehara was pushed down, right, Shizuo?"
"Yes, sir." The waiter nodded.
Kogoro Mouri asked: "Who can prove this?"
"At that time, everyone was in a mess, and I didn't know who would remember me." Jincheng Genichiro said helplessly.
Next, Shiro Imano's narration was that he had been staying in the room to read computer emails during the incident.
Akiko Sayama said that she had been watching videos in her room.
"That's just that no one else can confirm it?" said Kogoro Mouri.
"I can tell you what I watched." Akiko Sayama hurriedly said: "That's the story of installing bombs in a skyscraper..."
"Hey, this cannot be used as testimony." Kogoro Mouri waved his hand.
...
Although it was a simple question, it was obvious that everyone's words were a little vague.
Afterwards, Officer Yokogami and Kogoro Mouri began to sort out clues, but when there was no evidence to indicate suspicion, they naturally could not restrict other people's actions.
When CeXiong and Ai Haibara were taking the elevator upstairs, Conan, Ran Mori and Akiko Sayama also happened to come.
"Do you want to go up?" Conan said casually.
"Yes, sleeping late is not good for your skin." Haibara Ai yawned.
Conan curled his lips, I'm so immense to make the case, you're more open-minded...
Ding, the elevator door is closed.
Akiko Sayama complained: "What's that detective and your father doing? They must have thought I was the murderer."
"My dad won't do this." Ran Mori said awkwardly.
Akiko Sayama hugged her arms and said angrily: "Besides me, there is obviously a large number of people who are very suspicious."
Conan nodded in agreement. Through the previous anti-theft lock, he saw through the murderer's method of creating a secret room from the remaining transparent tape. In this way, it is likely that it was not the real crime scene.
At this time, Ran Maori asked, "When Miss Sayama was in the room, is there any room service?"
"If I had called room service, I would have said it long ago." Akiko Sayama said helplessly.
Haibara Ai, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said, "Did you call the counter?"
Akiko Sayama was stunned, "Well, I have asked the counter to help me with morning call."
Conan woke up and hurriedly said, "When?"
Akiko Sayama thought for a while, "I think it should be around ten o'clock."
Haibara Ai said lightly: "As long as the hotel phone is used, the usage time and room number will be recorded."
Akiko Sayama opened her mouth, stunned.
Ran Maori said happily: "If this happens, Miss Sayama will prove that she is absent!"
Ding, the 19th floor is here.
The elevator door slowly opened, and when the light in the corridor appeared, a dark shadow enveloped the front.
Ran Maori just turned his back to the elevator door.
Chen Xing's dissipated eyes suddenly shrank, and the next moment he blocked Ai Haibara and Conan, pressed the wooden knife with one hand and raised his arms naturally with the other.
Before Conan could react, the elevator door was completely opened, and the tall figure of the Dark Night Duke was approaching him, full of oppression.
"Duke of Dark Night?!"
"Be careful!" Maori Ran exclaimed.
But the Duke of Dark Night just stood there, gently pulling his cloak with his palm, and oppressing his body, and did not take action.
Ran Maori's eyes slashed, his waist sank and kicked out!
The Duke of Dark Night turned slightly and avoided it lightly.
Ran Mouri's kick fell into nothing, first swept across at high speed, and then kicked hard on the side.
The rapid three-combo attack was only in milliseconds, but the Duke of Dark Night almost moved and could easily dodge it.
"This..." Ran Mori's pupils trembled, and a possibility emerged in his mind.
--In the tour group of Duke of Dark Night, there are only two people with this skill, and one of them is behind him...
As stunned as her, Akiko Sayama beside her was also the one who was surrounded by her.
The Duke of Dark Night raised his chin, and without any hesitation, he turned around and ran away.
"Sister Xiaolan?" Conan shouted, looking up, but saw the struggle and shock in Mori Ran's expression.
