Surveillance, as an indispensable means of modern criminal investigation, has been highly praised by police around the world since its introduction.
As long as there is surveillance installed, the crime solving rate will increase exponentially.
this time...
is no exception.
Megure Juzo took the lead and led everyone to the monitoring room on the third floor.
I pushed open the iron door of the monitoring room and there was no one inside.
There was nothing that could be done about it. It was just dinner time, and the people on duty in the monitoring room didn't know a murder was going to happen, so it was normal for them to leave for the time being.
After entering the monitoring room, Shiratori Renzaburo immediately stepped forward, skillfully operated the buttons, and began to review the surveillance video with his ten fingers flying.
Pictures appeared on the screen one after another, and Sakaki Makoto looked up...
Suddenly, a string of red characters Error appeared on the screen.
His pupils shrank and Sakaki Makoto thought something was wrong.
"no."
Shiratori Renzaburo sighed and took his hands off the monitoring station:
"The video was deleted."
"ah..."
Megure Jusan opened his mouth, speechless.
He suddenly realized how smart the criminal was this time.
Killing, searching, deleting surveillance videos...
The crime was obviously carefully planned. Not only did he leave no useful clues at the scene, but he also anticipated the police's reaction after they arrived.
It's tricky...
Megure Jusan pursed his lips, having no idea what to do.
"Report!"
Just when the police were at a loss, Takagi Wataru rushed in:
"Inspector Megure, after we searched the deceased's room, we found that all the videotapes he had were gone!"
"Um?!"
Megure Jusan asked doubtfully:
"What did the inmate do with the deceased's videotape?"
"I see!"
Maori Kogoro suddenly shouted:
"Mr. Hanchuan's camera must have captured something, so the criminal wanted to kill him!"
Isn't this nonsense...
The corner of his mouth twitched, Sakaki Makoto felt helpless.
Do you think Kogoro Mori is smart or stupid?
Say he is smart, but he often makes comments that confuse right and wrong. Say he is stupid...
Whatever he does always helps Conan.
Is it a coincidence?
Who knows...
Anyway, none of the elders that Makoto Sakaki met were easy to deal with.
"Conan?"
When Mao Lilan's surprised voice came, Sakaki Makoto looked and found that Conan's clothes flashed at the door, and he didn't know where he was going.
"Hey, don't act on your own!"
Maori Kogoro wants to stop Conan, but...
"It's okay Dad, I'll be with him, nothing will go wrong!"
Moving her long legs, Mao Lilan caught up.
At this moment, Shiratori Renzaburo pretended to have a stomachache and slipped out the door.
Sakaki Makoto couldn't leave, so he had to wink at Miss Miyano.
After receiving the signal from him, Miss Miyano nodded slightly and easily disappeared from everyone's sight without causing any commotion.
"Mr. Nishino, if you are not the criminal, how about letting the police investigate your room?"
Without caring about the people who left, Megure Jusan looked at Nishino Masato.
"no problem."
Masato Nishino agreed readily.
............................
“Found it!”
In Room A330 belonging to Masato Nishino, Takagi Wataru, wearing white gloves, found a ring necklace under the bed.
He held the necklace in front of Makoto Sakaki and the others and spread out his palm...
I saw that the ring was made of platinum, wrapped in a colorful phoenix carved out of gold, and a pink pearl was inlaid in the middle. It looked extremely valuable.
"Mr. Nishino, what's your explanation now?"
Megure Jusan said with a sudden stern tone:
"Why did Mr. Hanchuan's necklace appear under your bed?!"
"I, I don't know..."
With beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead, Nishino Masato said in panic:
"How is this possible?"
"The evidence has been found, Mr. Nishino, please accept the police investigation..."
Before he finished speaking, Nishino Masato grabbed Megure Jusan by the collar and shook the 168cm tall, 170kg Megure Jusan like a tumbler:
"Mr. Policeman, it really wasn't me!"
"I, I, I...I have no motive!"
"Even if you say so..."
Megure Jusan pried open his fingers and was about to have him arrested...
"It's definitely not him."
Sakaki Makoto, who was watching coldly, couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward and said:
"Inspector Megure, around 7:10 p.m., Mr. Nishino went to the bathhouse. If he was the murderer who killed Samukawa Ryu, he would not have made it in time."
The cruise ship is very large, with 7 floors above and below, and the time of Ryu Kamikawa's death was between 7:10 and 7:30.
Can...
At around 7:10, Makoto Nishino appeared in the bathing area at the top of the cruise ship, interrupting the precious opportunity for Makoto Sakaki and Miss Miyano to get intimate.
So Sakaki Makoto remembers what happened very clearly.
Even if Nishino Masato shot and killed Kamikawa Ryu after taking a shower, it would be impossible for him to complete a series of actions such as messing up the room, hiding the murder weapon, deleting the surveillance room video, running back and forth across several floors, and running to the restaurant to report to everyone within 5 minutes.
unless....
