In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 272 Suspect Reduced by Two

Yokomizo's expression changed. In order to solve the case as soon as possible, he immediately began to provide the clues he knew, namely the testimonies provided by the eyewitnesses.

According to eyewitnesses, the deceased fell from the building at exactly 10 o'clock and landed on the bronze statue, killing him. The preliminary assessment is that the cause of death was being pierced by the spear tip of the statue.

To prevent misjudgment, Yokomizo Sango specifically explained: "However, from that height, there is no chance of survival if you fall onto flat ground."

Akutagawa Hiko assessed the height and thought that it might not be so, but there was no need to tell Yokomizo Sango about it, since it wouldn't help the case.

"By the way, have you ever searched Mr. Jiangyuan's room?"

Yokomizo Sango shook his head. They had only just arrived, and although they had learned from the waiter that the deceased lived in room 2101, they hadn't had time to check on him.

Akutagawa looked left and right but couldn't find Amuro Tooru. He silently used his sensory ninjutsu to investigate and found that Amuro was indeed not within the area of ​​the hotel. He clicked his tongue inwardly.

This "King of Hired Managers" is not a good enough employee. He's off having a good time somewhere, abandoning his boss and the organization's mission. It's a sign of the times.

"Mr. Akutagawa?"

"It's alright, let's go to the deceased's room and look for clues."

"Okay, a few people stay behind to secure the scene, the rest of you follow me!"

The room was locked with a bolt or a security lock, so even with a spare key card, they couldn't get in. However, all locks, no matter how secure they claim to be, are only good for honest people, not for thieves.

Or rather, doors and locks, besides facilitating entry and exit, are basically only meant to prevent people from stealing but who don't want to waste time and effort breaking the locks.

If they really wanted to get in, they couldn't withstand the violent destruction.

Under Yokomizo Sango's command, a police officer directly brought out the electrical circuit and started cutting the door bolt. The door bolt had never seen anything like this before, and it cracked open in no time, allowing the group to enter smoothly.

"These are the deceased's clothes and room key; it seems to be a smokescreen to mislead us and make us think that the deceased committed suicide."

The two walked to the balcony, where the window was open. Akutagawa looked down and saw that the room was directly above the bronze statue, and there was a glove hanging on the railing.

"So this is the primary crime scene, isn't it, Mr. Akutagawa?"

Akutagawa Hiko stroked his chin, rejecting Yokomizo Sango's guess: "This is the 21st floor, and there has been a strong wind around 10 o'clock today. Due to the wind, it is impossible for someone who fell from here to land directly on the bronze statue."

Moreover, for the sake of looking cool and for some magic tricks that can't be used openly, the Dark Baron's clothes have an enormous cloak. If someone fell off here, they would definitely be blown very far away.

"So, this locked room was only created to confuse people?!"

Akutagawa Hiko nodded and said, "That's right, that's about it."

Yokomizo Sango pressed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. How did these people come up with all those bizarre methods when they killed people? It's such a waste to use such a useful brain for murder.

"Sigh, let's first find out who the suspects are."

After conducting interviews and investigations, Yokomizo Sango basically focused his suspicions on Akutagawa Hiko's tour group. Moreover, it can be said that apart from Akutagawa Hiko and his group, and Amuro Tooru, who was seen leaving early and never returned, everyone else had some connection to the deceased.

Hideko Kamijo, who had been following the group, spoke up, "I was with Detective Akutagawa and Ms. Suzuki during that time, so I have a solid alibi. This matter clearly has nothing to do with me, right?"

Yokomizo nods reluctantly because Hideko Kamijo is the deceased's ex-wife. With this connection, she is the most suspicious person in the group, especially since she has always been with her idol, Hiko Akutagawa.

Ran quickly spoke up, trying to clear her idol's name: "Speaking of which, Mr. Maeda only parted ways with me and Conan after 10 o'clock, so it shouldn't be him."

Akutagawa Hiko feigned ignorance, asking, "I remember, when Sonoko and I left with Ms. Kamijou, weren't you also with Ms. Sayama?"

Ran was a little embarrassed to speak, so Conan answered for her: "Because Sister Sayama said that Brother Maeda was flirting with a waiter, so he was a little angry and locked the door when he went back to his room, so he went to the rooftop to look at the stars."

Yokomizo realized, "Then there are only four suspects left."

The first person called in for questioning was Shiro Konno, who named his computer after his mother who passed away last year. At the time of the incident, he had been sending emails and trying to find the Dark Baron through off-site assistance.

Since there is no scheduled sending function, the time he sends the email can indeed be used as an alibi.

Next up was the elderly gentleman in his seventies wearing sunglasses. At that time, he was in the open-air restaurant with his maid, Lin Jingjiang. Unfortunately, he himself didn't know if anyone had noticed him.

However, this can be verified with the waiter; this pair is quite distinctive and not hard to remember.

And finally, there's Akiko Sayama—
