Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Inspector Megure took out a wallet and said, "But I found your business card in the deceased's wallet. Don't you know him?"

"A business card?" Mori took it with a puzzled look, and found that it was indeed his business card. He said, "It really is my business card, but I don't remember giving him a business card before. Could it be that he got the business card from someone else and wants to ask me for a favor?"

……

Chapter 584 The Identity of the Dead

This cannot be blamed on Mori; as a person, he was simply issuing a business card to the outside world.

This is perfectly normal.

After all, sometimes, even if he hands out his business card in a crowded place, people might not recognize him.

Takagi added, "We found the deceased's driver's license on his body. The driver's license shows that the deceased lived in Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and his name was Yuichi Hisaka. He was 26 years old."

Inspector Megure asked, "Mouri, do you remember this person?"

Mori looked at the corpse on the ground with a puzzled expression and said, "But I really don't want to come here. Where have I seen him before?"

But just as Mori finished speaking...

“I know who he is!” Conan said.

Takagi asked, "You know Conan?"

Mori also said, "You're being naughty again, trying to interfere with the adults' investigation."

Inspector Megure interrupted Mori, saying, "Alright, Mori, let's hear what Conan has to say."

After all, they have seen Conan's performance in normal times, which makes everyone trust Conan to some extent.

Conan replied, "This person once came to the agency with the novelist Tsukigata Ryutaro."

"Crescent moon shape, crescent moon shape."

Mori listened and recalled.

After thinking for a moment, he examined the body more carefully.

He then suddenly realized and said, "I remember now. About half a year ago, Tsukigata Ryutaro came to visit my office with two disciples. This person is one of the two disciples that Tsukigata Ryutaro brought."

Inspector Megure asked, "Ryutaro Tsukigata, is that the novelist who is so famous for writing ninja stories?"

Mori nodded and said, "Yes, about half a year ago, he suddenly said that he wanted to break through his limitations and wanted to write a detective novel, so he came to visit me and wanted to get some inspiration from me."

Inspector Megure asked, "You gave him that business card around that time, didn't you?"

Mori nodded and said, "Yes, I remember he was a company employee who was learning to write from Tsukigata Ryutaro to pave the way for becoming a writer in the future. He happened to be visiting Tsukigata Ryutaro that time, so when Tsukigata Ryutaro visited me, he also came to the office."

Inspector Megure asked, "And the other one?"

Mori pondered, "The other one... what's his name? I need to think about it."

While Maori was deep in thought.

Conan added, "It's Mr. Saruhashi, his name is Saruhashi Masaru."

Inspector Megure asked, "Katsuru Saruhashi?"

Conan nodded and said, "That's right. Like Mr. Tsukigata, he lives in Beika Town. In his spare time, he helps Mr. Tsukigata organize materials and also learns writing from him."

Inspector Megure said, "Since we're both in Beika Town and not too far from here, let's visit Mr. Tsukigata first, and then go find Mr. Saruhashi."

He took a few steps before saying, "Mouri, Sato, you two come along too."

After listening for a while, Zhiyong roughly understood the process.

It's just that the deceased had been dead for quite some time, and was exposed to sunlight, so the ghost had long since disappeared.

Therefore, only he himself can find the answer to the truth of the case.

Now, regarding solving cases...

Zhiyong still had some confidence.

After the space was enhanced.

Not only has his physical fitness improved significantly, but his mind has also been strengthened to some extent.

Now his memory has become extremely strong, and he can think about problems very quickly.

In addition, he acquired some detective knowledge.

This also allows him to think in multiple ways when reasoning, considering all sorts of possibilities.

It is precisely because of these changes.

This is what makes Zhi Yong so confident in his reasoning, even without obtaining clues from the deceased or knowing who the murderer is.

He was able to solve the case just as well.

They arrived at Tsukigata Ryutaro's house.

Inspector Megure recounted the events.

Tsukigata Ryutaro exclaimed in surprise, "What, Hisaka...?"

Inspector Megure nodded and said, "Yes, that's why we suspect he was murdered on his way here."

Upon hearing this, Tsukigata Ryutaro nodded and said, "I see. He did make an appointment with me yesterday. He wanted to bring his work and have me take a look at it."

Zhiyong asked, "Officer Takagi, were any of Mr. Kusaka's manuscripts among his belongings?"

Takagi replied, "No, we didn't find any other items that Mr. Hisaka was carrying near him. They must have been thrown away or destroyed by the murderer."

Ryutaro Tsukigata continued, "Around 8 p.m. last night, he called from the Imperial Capital Station and said he would arrive around 9 p.m., but I waited and he didn't come. I was very worried, but he never uses a cell phone, so I couldn't contact him."

Megure muttered, "I made the call at the Imperial Capital Station around 8 o'clock."

Takagi whispered, "Officer, Mr. Kusaka's time of death was between 7 pm and 9 pm. Around 8 pm, he called from the capital. This allows us to deduce his whereabouts before his death."

Megure nodded and asked, "Mr. Tsukigata, could you explain in more detail what happened when he contacted you yesterday?"

Ryutaro Tsukigata nodded and said, "He called me twice yesterday. The first time was at noon. He said he wanted me to take a look at the manuscript he had just finished writing. I happened to have something to do in the afternoon, so I told him that I was going out and that I would be back home at nine o'clock in the evening. He said he would come to my house at nine o'clock."

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the phone.

He brought the phone to everyone's attention.

He then added, "The second call was at 8 p.m., before I got back, and he left a message on the phone."

Open the voicemail.

"You have a new message."

"This is Hisaka. I'm at Teito Station now, and I expect to arrive at your place around nine o'clock."

at this time.

The phone call also carried the voices of children nearby, followed by the sound of a train bell signaling its departure.

"I'm going to catch my ride."

Yuichi Hisaka then hung up the phone.

The automated voice on the phone: "Saturday, 8:10 p.m.

After playing all the voicemail messages.

Mori then asked, "Tsukigata-sensei, could you play the voicemail message again?"

"can."

I listened to the voicemail again.

Mori then said, "From the phone call, we know that Mr. Kusaka took the train from Teito to Beika Station at around 8:10. That should be correct."

……

Chapter 585 Different Perspectives

After listening to the voicemail, Zhiyong felt something was off about it, for some reason.

It's just that the place is strange.

He couldn't bring himself to say it.

This made him fall into deep thought.

at this time.

Takagi took out his phone and started checking the train timetable.

After a while.

Takagi said, "There is a train arriving at Beika Station at exactly 8:10.

Megure replied, "If it's the 8:10 train, it will take 30 minutes to reach Beika Station, which is 8:40."

Takagi pointed out, "That's right, we arrived at Beika Station at exactly 8:40."

Megure muttered, "This way we can pinpoint the time Mr. Kusaka was killed, probably between 8:40 and 9:00, and the location is near Beika Station."

Mori suddenly said, "If that's the case, I already know who the murderer is."

Megure asked in surprise, "Really, Mori?"

When everyone was looking at him.

Mori continued, "The murderer is another disciple of Master Tsukigata, Mr. Saruhashi."

Tsukigata Ryutaro asked in surprise, "You mean Saruhashi?"

Megure also asked, "Mori, what's your basis for saying that?"

Mori explained, "Of course. He once said that he lived near Beika Station, so he was very familiar with the area. Most importantly, he had a motive for committing the crime."

Megure asked, "What was the motive for the crime?"

Mori replied, "I remember about six months ago, when Mr. Tsukigata came to visit me, the two of us got into an argument about who should study under him."

Through Maoli's explanation, everyone understood.

Perhaps it's because Tsukigata Ryutaro is getting old.
