"You kid, you interrupt me again!"
Maori Kogoro lowered his head and scolded unhappily, then looked at the three people and said seriously: "I also want to ask you this question."
"That's because we left our cell phones at the place where we rented clothes before." Yoko Nakamura quickly explained.
"Actually, Editor Umeda doesn't really like mobile phones. She feels that they don't bring convenience, but rather cause interruptions anytime, anywhere."
Kijima Minoru chimed in, explaining, "Especially at a party like the one we're having today, Editor Umeda would never allow anyone to bring a cell phone to a party."
"She also repeatedly reminded us in text messages not to bring our cell phones." Jiro Ishikawa then added the last key reason.
"Is that so..."
Maori Kogoro heard this and sighed solemnly, "Five years ago, public telephones were everywhere, but now it takes ages to find one. What a strange era..."
"Yeah, I don't know whether it's becoming more convenient or inconvenient."
Inspector Megure also echoed the sigh. It was obvious that the two middle-aged men felt that they could not keep up with the rapid development of the times.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
After a moment of sighing, Maori Kogoro said solemnly, "I don't know whether the murderer got the news in advance, or just happened to come to this unlocked room.
Ms. Umeda was so focused on preparing for the party that she didn't even notice someone intruding into the house."
"External invasion..."
After hearing what Maori Kogoro said, Inspector Megure touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "From the current situation, it is true that the panicked man that Mr. Ishikawa and the others saw at the door is very suspicious..."
On the other hand, looking at the scattered tableware on the table, Tang Ze did not quite agree with the two people's speculation.
From a practical point of view, the dining table is facing the main entrance. Even if you are busy preparing for the party, you would not be able to fail to notice if the door is opened.
After all, she knew that she had left the door open, so she would definitely have some thoughts on the outside.
Apart from this, there were no signs of struggle or escape around.
If you don't notice it at first, but later find a stranger approaching you, a normal person's first reaction would be to keep their distance.
In this situation, the criminals want to subdue the deceased, and Ms. Umeda wants to protect herself, so a conflict is bound to occur between the two.
In other words, there must be traces of fighting.
But now, the only trace of struggle, the scattered tableware, is a bit intriguing.
It even feels a bit like a sudden sneak attack when an acquaintance approaches.
If the reality alone is not enough to confirm it, Tang Ze's analysis based on the "Scientific Law" is close to being solid evidence.
First of all, since the case was triggered by the presence of Kogoro Mouri and Conan, and the other party has companions, it is highly likely that the deceased was killed by an outsider. Instead, the people present are the most suspicious, especially when the number of people is "three", the suspect can basically be locked in with 100% certainty.
After all, it was a classic case of choosing one from three. Tang Ze knew without even thinking that the suspect must be among them.
Of course, the "handsome men and beautiful women law" does not apply this time, because the three people this time are actually still considered handsome men and beautiful women.
However, Karasawa still doubts the "traditional" handsome guy, Minoru Kimura.
Well, the other person is the type who looks handsome and delicate, with medium-long hair. Many of the handsome criminals arrested by Tang Ze are of this type.
Of course, the main reason why Karasawa suspected Kijima Minoru was because Kijima Minoru's behavior was too obvious when he discovered the body.
However, whether it was when he first discovered the footprints when entering the door, or when he found the body and told Ishikawa not to destroy the crime scene, the other party was too calm.
If you were to say that Tang Ze and others have experience in criminal work, it would be normal for them to take such actions when faced with such a situation, but it is a bit strange that you, an ordinary makeup artist, can remain so calm.
Of course, if you really want to say that she is gifted, that's fine, but overall, Kimura Miura is a bit too "paced".
Judging from the three people's recounting of the situation at that time, from the beginning to the final phone call, the other party was constantly guiding Ishikawa and the other person.
The pace was so obvious that Tang Ze felt that the opponent had basically been exposed.
Every move of the other party points to one thing, which is to put the suspicion on the invasion of outsiders.
But Tang Ze had already ruled out the possibility of external invasion and determined that it was an internal crime.
Then your rhythm is a bit too obvious.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze looked at Kijima Miki and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Kijima-san that the crime scene is still preserved as it was."
"No, no, I just watch a lot of mystery dramas, so I imitated them. It would be great if I could help."
After hearing what Karasawa said, Mikijima smiled modestly.
Hearing this, Tang Ze just smiled and didn't say anything else.
He was not surprised by Minoru Kimura's answer and even thought that the other party's excuse was terrible.
To be honest, Tang Ze felt that Minoru Kimura seemed to be a "rhythm master", but because he guided the situation too well when he discovered it, his own performance became a little too obvious.
After the initial exploration, Tang Ze looked around and searched the same place in the room, trying to find some clues, but at this time a subtle sound coming from outside the house attracted his attention.
"Let me go! I didn't know! It wasn't me!!"
