"Every second you delay means a second less chance of solving the case, right?"

Xiang Yuanguang glanced at the Death God Elementary School Student who quietly slipped into the mixing room on the fourth floor.

Since Conan has already started the investigation, it’s almost time for him to start as well.

After all, his logical reasoning and observation skills are just average.

He is just good at intimidation and obtaining testimony.

If you want to solve the case, you must use both testimony and Conan's evidence.

"Yeah, okay."

Asai Narimi said readily.

He made way, nodded slightly to Genkou, and walked towards Inspector Megure.

"...Confirm again, Ms. Nagai Ayako, are you sure that Mr. Mukai Genkou left the studio in a hurry when the short film was played?"

Inspector Megure asked the host assistant Nagai Ayako.

And Nagai Ayako nodded without hesitation, then she added hesitantly.

"Well...Mr. Matsuo Takashi was away for about three and a half minutes during the video."

"But, in such a short time, it's impossible to go from the recording studio on the ninth floor to the mixing room on the fourth floor to kill someone, right?"

Xiang Yuanguang was about to interrupt when he heard the voice of Maori Kogoro.

"That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, Mr. Matsuo Takashi was a criminal police officer before and knows how to use firearms."

"And Xiang Yuan has never even touched a gun, so there is no way he could have killed anyone! It must have been Matsuo Takashi who did it!"

Detective Maori looked so serious for the first time, which frightened Xiang Yuanguang when he saw him for the first time.

It seems that Kogoro Mori is really going all out.

Chapter 34 National Live Broadcast

The reason why Kogoro Mori believes that Takashi Matsuo is the murderer and Mitsuki Mukai is not...actually there is no basis for this.

He simply thought that Xiang Yuanguang would not do such a thing, out of his trust in Xiang Yuanguang.

But when police solve cases, subjective emotions are never as important as objective reality.

"But, Detective Maori, your claim that I'm the murderer is completely nonsense."

"Three and a half minutes is not enough time for me to run from the ninth floor to the fourth floor and then back to the ninth floor, right?"

"But Mr. Xiang Yuanguang and I left the studio almost at the same time."

“Then he disappeared for a full five minutes before contacting security personnel.”

"From this point of view, he is more of a murder suspect than me, right?"

Takashi Matsuo shook his head and refuted Detective Mori's idea straightforwardly.

Logically speaking, there is indeed nothing wrong with what Takashi Matsuo said.

However, Takashi Matsuo overlooked one point.

"Mr. Matsuo, but the security camera on the fourth floor did not capture any photo of Brother Xiang Yuan."

"So, Brother Xiang Yuan should be innocent."

Inspector Megure refuted from the side, but Matsuo Takashi showed a victorious smile.

He told Inspector Megure in an unusually relaxed tone.

"Then I am also innocent. There is no way the security camera on the fourth floor could have captured me."

"Because I didn't go to the fourth floor, let alone enter the mixing room to kill anyone, it's nonsense to suspect me."

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori were speechless for a moment.

That’s right, the evidence that can prove that Genmi Mukai is not guilty can also prove that Takashi Matsuo is not guilty.

But on the other hand, the evidence against Minamoto no Mitsuki has no effect against Matsuo Takashi.

For example, it is impossible to walk back and forth between the ninth and fourth floors in three and a half minutes, but when Xiang Yuanguang disappears for five minutes, he can go from the ninth floor to the fourth floor, shoot Ye Fangdaoyan, and then return to the stairwell on the seventh floor to meet up with the security personnel.

zizi.

The cameramen never put down their cameras.

When the recording of the program was interrupted by the criminal police, the owner of the TV station asked the cameraman to continue filming.

Now, the investigation of this murder case within the Nichimi TV editorial office is being broadcast live to be seen by the entire country.

Therefore, the performance of Inspector Megure, Detective Mori, and Takashi Matsuo were clearly visible to everyone.

Miwako Sato, who was following Inspector Megure, noticed that the camera was still recording.

She quietly walked to Inspector Megure and explained to him softly.

Inspector Megure was also startled and immediately adjusted his posture.

If this case is not handled well, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will be under pressure from public opinion. By then, his salary assessment will not only not go up, but may even drop like Officer Takagi!

"Okay, Inspector Megure, Detective Mori, do you have anything else to say?"

"If not, I still have to deal with those reporters outside and explain the future development of the program."

Matsuo Takashi straightened his collar, looking relaxed and natural, in complete contrast to Detective Mori and Inspector Megure.

The veteran host's popularity still has room to grow among the national audience.

In contrast, the ratings of Detective Mori and Inspector Megure are declining.

"Anyway, I would like to object to this...!"

The corners of Kogoro Maori's mouth twitched, and he spoke immediately.

(Damn it, a homicide case must have a suspect to be closed.)

(If Matsuo Takashi cannot be proven to be the first suspect, Mukai Genmitsu will be the defendant and go to trial!)

(Those prosecutors don’t care if the defendant is guilty or not, they just want to prove that the defendant is guilty!)

"I'll ignore your objection for now. Goodbye, Mr. Detective."

Matsuo Takashi turned around like a winner.

Standing not far away, Maori Ran looked at Maori Kogoro with great concern.

(Dad is rarely like this... It seems that he really believes that Lawyer Xiang Yuan is innocent...)

(Is there anything I can do for the case?...If only Shinichi were here at this moment.)

(He will surely solve this case easily and prove Attorney Xiang Yuan's innocence.)

She was thinking in her heart that she was planning to take Conan to comfort Kogoro Mouri.

Then they found that Conan was missing. "Conan? Really, where did Conan go again?"

Xiaolan was a little panicked. After all, this was a crime scene, not an amusement park.

She looked around and saw Dr. Asai, whom she knew from the audience, quietly enter the mixing room.

(Hey, what Dr. Asai wants to do is————)

"A pound of pears (objection)! There is a problem with the [time] point you made earlier!"

Word Bullet【5/5】

Attracted the attention of everyone present.

The strong wind blew in all directions with Genkou as the center. Matsuo Takashi was the first to be hit and even took several steps back.

The host swallowed his saliva and wondered if Xiang Yuanguang really knew magic.

Otherwise, why would a protest stir up trouble?

"You just said that I disappeared from the security camera range for five minutes, right?"

"What if I say that for three and a half minutes out of the five minutes, I was actually in the stairwell between the seventh and sixth floors?"

"Stairwell!? Why are you there!?"

Cold sweat ran down Matsuo Takashi's forehead as he stared at Xiang Yuanguang.

Said without hesitation.

"Do you have evidence? Evidence that you were in the stairwell between the sixth and seventh floors for three and a half minutes!?"

Everyone present immediately looked at Xiang Yuanguang.

There are no security cameras in the stairwells, only in the corners of the corridors.

How could Xiang Yuanguang prove that he was in the stairwell for three and a half minutes?

“Watch out! Show me the witness——Miss [Nagai Ayako]!”

He pointed to Genkou in the air, and saw Ms. Nagai Ayako who had already completed her testimony.
