Chapter 718 Prosecutor
Chapter 718 Prosecutor
When Conan and Kogoro Mouri got into Inspector Megure's police car and headed to the crime scene.
Officer Chiba, who had set out earlier, had already arrived at the crime scene. He stroked his chin, pretending to know everything, but he couldn't even come up with a single suspect.
How to put it, he felt that no one in the cinema seemed to be a suspect and had no time to commit the crime.
It was the police officer next to him who couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him, and then Chiba and Shin suddenly realized what was going on.
"Hey, didn't Mr. Muramatsu just say that he left the theater and went to the air-conditioning control room before the body appeared because the air-conditioning temperature was too cool, and didn't come back until the body appeared. Does he have no alibi?"
"In that case, it seems that Mr. Muramatsu is a strong suspect."
Officer Chiba's eyes fell on the person he was talking about, Mr. Muramatsu.
Mr. Muramatsu's full name is Akio Muramatsu. He is the director of this cinema and has worked here for many years. He is now in his sixties and was speaking with some helplessness.
"How could it be me? I really went to the air conditioning control room because the air conditioning was cooler."
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask other audience members in the cinema. They can all prove that the reason I left the cinema was to go to the air-conditioning control room to adjust the temperature of the cinema!"
————It’s hard to say.
Chiba Kazunobu turned his gaze to the other audience members in the Muxiang 7 Theater.
Well, although this cinema has been in business for a long time, there are actually not many people coming to watch movies now. At most, there are only three moviegoers, one of whom is the deceased in this case, Masaji Aida.
Another viewer had left before the body appeared, but was still wandering nearby and was pulled over by them. It can be basically confirmed that he was an innocent passerby who had nothing to do with this case.
He scratched his head in distress and then spoke.
"Anyway, please let the three of you introduce yourselves."
The three remaining people in the theater looked at each other, and the slightly older man spoke first.
"My name is Guqiao Ni, I'm 39 years old, and I'm a movie projectionist at a theater."
"When the body was found, I was in the lounge and projection room with Yuriko... the staff of the cinema's canteen, so I didn't have time to commit the crime."
As soon as Gu Qiao Nian finished speaking, the girl next to him who looked very young also hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, just as Mr. Furuhashi said."
"My name is Yuriko Yuri, I'm 23 years old, and I'm a staff member at the movie theater's convenience store. When the body was found, I was in the lounge and projection room just like Mr. Furuhashi, so I didn't have the time to kill Mr. Zhang Tian."
The two staff members in front had just proved themselves, and suddenly the pressure came to the last viewer.
There was a hint of clear stupidity in the eyes of this male college student. He looked around and saw that everyone else was looking at him. Then he realized that it was his turn to introduce himself, and he quickly started talking.
"My name is Ide Toshiyuki, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a college student..."
"I should be considered the first person to discover the body, right? Because I stayed in the theater from beginning to end and did not leave, so I was able to see the body. Ms. Yuriko and Mr. Furuhashi can prove it for me."
Toshiyuki Ide also has an alibi.
Then, in Chiba and Nobuyuki's eyes, there is no doubt that the real murderer of this case is only one person————
That is the director of Muxiang 7 Cinema, Akio Muramatsu, who is 62 years old.
After all, he had no alibi, and the time he left the screening room was so coincidental, it was hard not to believe that this incident was not done by Akio Muramatsu.
"Well, it seems that the murderer can only be Mr. Muramatsu." After Officer Chiba learned about the situation of the witnesses present, he nodded slightly and gave his judgment.
The criminal police officer next to him also expressed his approval.
After all, the moviegoer who left the theater early and the nearby store owner could both testify that it was within the period from when the screams were heard in the theater until the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's police car arrived at the scene.
No one left the theater.
In other words, the murderer must be one of the four people inside the theater. Unless the deceased Masaji Zhang Tian actually committed suicide, there can be no answer other than these four people.
However, just when Chiba Kazunobu finished sorting out the case and identified the final murderer.
The alarm suddenly rang outside Muxiang 7 Cinema.
A police car stopped at the entrance of the cinema. In the car, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori walked quickly into the cinema and arrived at the scene just before Chiba and Shen opened their mouths to accuse Akio Muramatsu of murder.
"Wait a minute, Chiba, you don't have that much authority yet."
Inspector Megure strode up to Chiba Kazunobu and spoke seriously.
After all, it was a vicious murder case, and the real task of arresting and convicting the suspect had to be done by him, the police captain. If Chiba Kazunobu was allowed to handle the matter himself, and if any trouble occurred afterwards, I'm afraid Chiba Kazunobu would have to endure it.
Kogoro Mori stroked his chin and checked the situation inside the theater.
As a famous detective in Tokyo, this time, he has to show his superb reasoning skills. No matter what, at least he has to get rid of the plague mark he left in Inspector Megure's mind!
However, Conan Edogawa didn't have any opinion on this.
He pushed up his plain glasses and his eyes fell on Akio Muramatsu.
The sixty-year-old man looked very uncomfortable, but when he thought about it, he had worked hard to run the cinema for decades, but on the last day of the screening, he became a suspect in a vicious murder case.
Moreover, the deceased died inside the cinema, which was undoubtedly a major blow to Akio Muramatsu.
The Death Student pushed up his plain glasses.
In his opinion, anyone here could be the murderer, but Akio Muramatsu was most likely not the murderer.
The other party was already over sixty years old, old and frail, with declining physical functions. He wanted to hang the deceased Zhang Tian Zhengci directly in the air, but his strength was obviously insufficient.
In comparison, the same is true for Yuriko Yuri, whose power is also insufficient.
Then the real murderer should be chosen between Furuhashi Nishi and Iide Toshiyuki.
Conan was quickly reasoning and integrating the clues in his mind.
But at this moment, he heard footsteps coming closer and closer.
Tick, tick, tick.
The Death God Elementary School Student raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, then his pupils shrank.
Because the case has not been fully investigated yet and the murderer has not been identified, but the prosecutor has already arrived!
