In the room, people from the forensic department were constantly coming and going.
Conan found an opportunity to show his strength to Tang Ze, and the two of them quickly came to a corner one after the other.
"What's going on? Is it about the missing search records of Detective Maori?"
Tang Ze looked at Conan and said, "If that's the case, you don't have to worry. With our previous arrangements, the investigators won't be able to find any clues."
Although Tang Ze was somewhat surprised that the search files were lost only now, this was both unexpected and reasonable.
After all, I am involved here, and it can be said that I have attracted a lot of attention from both sides.
Therefore, it is understandable that Vermouth was delayed for a while because of investigating him and then came to steal the files.
However, Vermouth's investigation was destined to be in vain. This time, with his involvement, many cases were solved by him, and some were solved in cooperation with Kogoro Mouri. It can be said that the situation is even more complicated.
To a certain extent, his involvement as a criminal with legitimate reasons in the case diluted Kogoro Mouri's presence, making the smokescreen even heavier.
"I'm not worried about that."
Because they had already discussed countermeasures to prevent the file from being investigated, Conan was not too panicked when he was shocked by Tang Ze's vision. "I was just wondering who the investigator was. I have some doubts that it is the man wearing a knitted hat who has appeared frequently recently."
After the bus, in James' case, Conan saw the other party driving past them, and from that time on, he began to suspect the other party.
"But these are just groundless evidence. I will be more careful about this matter in the future."
Conan shook his head and ended the topic, "Let's not talk about this, the most urgent thing now is to solve the case at hand.
Actually, the reason why I came to the Toda family with Haibara and the others was because there was something I cared about.
At that time, Uncle Mori got very angry when he heard Mr. Toda asked him to go to his house to find the watch. When Mr. Toda heard the name of Mori Kogoro, his face suddenly became very ugly.
Even though Uncle Maori agreed to the other party's request, he directly chose to refuse.
The watch we are looking for is an old clockwork watch. Mr. Toda said that the watch has been lost for three weeks, but the time is still very accurate.
But this is impossible. After all, a clockwork watch can only run for about fifty hours at most after being wound up once…"
At this point, Conan stared at Toda Hideo standing beside him with a sharp look in his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that the incident of looking for the watch was just an excuse for him to create an alibi!"
In response, Tang Ze nodded on the surface, but actually rolled his eyes secretly.
Does this situation still require evidence?
If you are the only ones in the room, and there is a dead person and a stranger, then the murderer must be this stranger!
As for outsiders? That's impossible. It must be a trick caused by the technique.
The criminal had already been identified the moment he entered the room and understood the situation!
So now this is the criminal's method.
Since there are no outsiders, a mechanism is needed to kill Eiko Dezuki.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze went straight to the screening room where the deceased was. After the body was collected by the forensic personnel, he came to the deceased's location.
On the wall where the deceased fell, there was a large-screen TV on the cabinet below, and the area above it was blocked by a curtain, which looked like a place where equipment such as VCRs and videotapes were placed.
But since the other party's deception has been ruled out, and the vase will not appear out of thin air, it is natural that the mechanism that uses the vase as a weapon is set up in the cabinet on the upper level.
When the upper city cupboard was opened, a large number of old-fashioned video recorders were revealed behind the curtain.
"It seems that the trick has been solved." Conan, who also climbed up the closet with the help of Tang Ze, fiddled with the timer, and the timing pattern immediately appeared on the black projector next to him.
And under the projector, there is a small box that is not too thick. It looks like the packaging box of a movie.
"Now, then, the mystery of the vanishing vase."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "How about I leave this puzzle to you? I will set up a trap for the prisoner that will force him to confess."
A simple method, a suspect who had no choice. Looking at the situation, the reward for the case was only a participation award. Tang Ze felt that since it had come to this, he might as well let the tool man help with some work.
"Is this considered a puzzle?" Conan, who had grown up rapidly after Tang Ze's constant heartache and hard work, smiled unhappily after hearing Tang Ze's words. "If you want to be lazy, just say so. Leave it to me."
The two said they acted separately, but in fact it only took about five minutes in total.
After exchanging a glance to indicate they were ready, Tang Ze clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Now that we've collected the evidence, let's reenact the case. Maybe we can make some new discoveries."
"No problem, who will pretend to be the murderer?" Takagi pointed at himself and volunteered with a smile.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Tang Ze nodded, then turned to look at Toda Hideo beside him and said, "As for the deceased, please let Mr. Toda play the role."
"Huh? Me!?" Toda Hideo screamed, pointing at himself and asking in panic, "Why me?"
"Because you are most familiar with Mrs. Izuku, right?"
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Mrs. Chuyue must have watched videos at your house often, right? Besides, this is your home, and you are more familiar with the environment.
What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"Ah... no... not..." Seeing the sharp gaze of the young criminal in front of him, Toda Hideo stammered in response.
"Then let's go to the screening room without further ado." Tang Ze opened the door and walked in first, and the others followed behind.
Afterwards, Karasawa put the videotape into the projector under the TV and instructed Hideo Toda to sit on the chair.
"Then we'll skip the movie part." Tang Ze looked at Toda Hideo and smiled, "Now please rewind."
"oh…"
Although he was very reluctant, under the urging of Tang Ze, Hideo Toda reluctantly clicked the rewind button.
"Then Mr. Toda, please take out the videotape now." Tang Ze continued to direct.
After hearing this, Hideo Toda hesitated for a moment, but still bent down and walked to the projector to press the rewind button. After all, this scene was exactly the same as his plan to kill Eiko Dezuki, which made him a little taboo.
Just as he was about to press the rewind button on the projector, a pair of evil little hands reached out from the side.
