Chapter 164 Targeting Someone

Officer Memu didn't pay much attention to the surprise of the two people, but asked seriously with a straight face: "Whose room is this?"

One of the men wearing a red shirt and a white vest replied: "This is my room. Hello, my surname is Takeno. Like Ikuta, I am a second-year student at Miwa University."

Officer Memu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then turned his attention to another man wearing a white vest and an orange forehead protector tied to his head. "So, who are you?"

"My name is Nakamura, and several of us are friends from the mountain climbing club in college." Hidenori Nakamura also quickly replied.

"Mr. Ikuta, it turns out that I was drinking with everyone here." Police Inspector Megure said, looking at the empty beer cans on the table and the food and drinks.

Takeno Koji replied: "Yes. It is indeed me who invited everyone here to drink today. We started drinking around seven o'clock."

"Excuse me, what time did Mr. Ikuta leave?" Officer Megure asked.

"Probably before ten o'clock! Because at nine o'clock, Kusaka called." Shimizu Yoichi on the side replied.

Kusaka Masami was very surprised when he heard this, and quickly retorted: "Wait a minute, why didn't I make a call?"

"Are you sure the voice on the phone is really Kusaka?" Officer Megure asked Takeno Koji again.

"Well..." Takeno Koji was a little flustered.

"Huh?" Takeno Koji was stunned when he heard this and didn't understand why Aoki Song would say that.

But I don’t hold a grudge against Ikuta because of this incident, and I haven’t left this house today.”

Nakamura Hidenori came back to his senses at this time and quickly retorted: "But, that's only two or three minutes."

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro became more convinced of his judgment that Kusaka Masami was the murderer, so he started his own reasoning.

"Yes, but there was a period of time in between. If you wanted to breathe fresh air, you went outside." Shimizu Yoichi said.

Mouri Kogoro had a different opinion, "But since you are a member of the mountaineering club, it is easy to slide down from the window using a rope!"

In addition, there was Jun Omura's words, the sound of beating from outside the wall that lasted for a week.

On this matter, Aoki Song trusts Kusaka Masami more, because it will be clear when the police go to the communication company to investigate tomorrow, and there is no need for the other party to lie on this matter.

Aoki Song interrupted at this time: "Mr. Kusaka, please don't get excited. Are you sure you didn't call?"

"Ikuta asked me to come out to meet him. He put a note in the school cabinet." Kusaka Masami replied.

After asking about Kusaka Masami, Aoki Song looked at Takeno Koji and the others and asked: "Mr. Takeno, you answered that call. Are you sure it was Mr. Kusaka who made the call?"

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro and Conan were both shocked.

"Ah!" Nakamura Hideno didn't expect Shimizu Yo to answer like this, and his mind was stuck for a moment.

"Yes!" Takeno Koji testified: "Because Ikuta happened to be away at that time, so I answered the call."

Shimizu Yoichi and Nakamura Hide were stunned when they heard this and looked at each other.

Takeno Koji didn't say anything, but Kusaka Masami on the side said for him: "Half a year ago, one time when I went mountaineering in winter, Ikuta and his female classmate Togawa Keiko in the club encountered a mountain disaster. When Ikuta saw her foot was injured, he threw it away

Get off her.

Takeno Koji was still a little quick-witted and quickly thought of something and said: "Officer, I turned on the light. How can I write a paper without turning on the light?

Yoichi Shimizu and Hidenori Nakamura on the side also nodded in confirmation.

"Uh..." Shimizu Yo was stunned when he heard this, and quickly looked at Takeno Koji and Nakamura Einori, "You obviously called, right, Takeno."

With so many doubts, Aokimatsu would naturally think that Koji Takeno was the most suspicious, but of course it was just the most suspicious. To prove that the other party was the murderer, there needed to be other evidence.

"This. This, I..." Kusaka Masami became even more nervous after hearing this. Speaking of that reason, it was simply the best reason for the murder, so he couldn't say it out loud.

"I made an agreement with them a few days ago. Since there will be no classes tomorrow on the weekend, it doesn't matter if I drink a little today, so I made an appointment to come to my house today." Koji Takeno replied.

"What's going on?" Mouri Kogoro asked immediately.

"Mr. Shimizu and Mr. Nakamura, did you hear Mr. Kusaka's voice on the phone and were you sure it was him? Or do you think it was Mr. Kusaka who called because Mr. Takeno said it was Mr. Kusaka?

?You have to think clearly before answering."

"Eh?" Nakamura Hideno was stunned.

Seeing this, Yo Shimizu on the side broke the news: "Kusaka, didn't you say that your money was stolen by Ikuta?"

Takeno Koji lowered his head and looked a little sad, "Mr. Detective, since we have encountered mountain disasters, there are many times when we have to bear the pain and sacrifice our friends in such natural and man-made disasters. I feel very sorry for Keiko.

"Is what he said true?" Officer Megure asked quickly.

Megure Police Department asked: "Then how long did he stay alone in the room?"

Aoki Song heard this and asked: "When did you find that note?"

"So, what can we say about Mr. Takeno's hatred for Mr. Ikuta?" Officer Megure asked.

Aoki Song looked at Takeno Koji and asked: "Mr. Takeno, when did you invite them here?"

"When did this happen?" Officer Megure asked quickly.

Since Kusaka Masami dared to say this, of course he had some information at hand. Of course, he quickly broke it out at this time, "I know, Nakamura, Ikuta borrowed a lot of money from you, right?"

"You were stolen by Mr. Ikuta because of your tuition fees. No matter how you begged him, he refused to return the money to you. So you had a grudge against him, so you called him, asked him out, and then killed him."

At this time, Kusaka Masami looked a little angry and nervous and said: "I didn't make that call."

As he spoke, he pointed to Takeno Koji and Nakamura Hideno opposite, "I said that right, Takeno, Nakamura."

"Yes, Takeno did stay here tonight." Yoichi Shimizu testified.

There happens to be a tape recorder next to the phone. What a coincidence.

Mouri Kogoro on the side suddenly interjected at this time: "Since you didn't call the victim to ask him out, then why did you show up at the meeting place?"

"That's not the case." Kusaka Masami quickly denied it and started to drag others into trouble. "And I'm not the only one who hates Ikuta now."

"About twenty minutes!" Yoichi Shimizu thought for a moment and said, "However, if you want to go outside, you must pass through this room, so I don't think Takeno left this room at all tonight."

"Takeno answered the call, but Takeno pressed the play button at that time, and we heard Kusaka's voice with our own ears," Shimizu Yoichi said.

Mouri Kogoro listened to what he just said, and now seeing the other party's reaction, he immediately thought that Kusaka Masami would be the murderer, so he asked in a somewhat coercive tone: "Why did he ask you out?

Already?"

"Huh?" Kusaka was stunned when he heard this.

First of all, a few people came here for a gathering, invited by Takeno Koji.

"But that window is impossible. If you don't believe it, you can come and have a look." Takeno Koji said, and then he stepped forward and opened the door and invited everyone in to take a look. "Look, it's this window."

Shimizu Yoichi thought for a moment and said, "About ten o'clock, right after Ikuta goes out."

It was a single-sided window, very small. Although the window could be opened, it could only open a gap as big as a palm. Even children, let alone adults, could not pass through.

"Hi!" Takeno Koji nodded and confirmed, "His voice is correct."

"I'm really sorry. Detective Maori and I are here as guests. Mr. Omura's house is just below your house. Around ten o'clock, Xiaolan and I happened to come back from the convenience store to buy wine.

Kusaka Masami looked a little nervous when he heard this and said: "I didn't think much about it at the time. After reading it, I threw it away."

"It is indeed impossible to get out of here." Mouri Kogoro tried and was convinced.

At that time, Detective Mori waved to us from the balcony, and we all looked over here." Aoki Song looked at each other and said: "At ten o'clock, I remember clearly that there were no lights on in the rooms above Mr. Omura.

.”

Although it is not 100% accurate, the hit rate is still quite high.

After hearing this, Aoki Song didn't say anything more about this issue, but turned to look at Kusaka Masami and asked: "Mr. Kusaka, do you still keep that note?"

Ikuta finally met the rescue team and was rescued, but by the time the rescue team arrived at the place where Keiko was hiding, Keiko had already died for a long time. Keiko and Takeno were lovers at that time."

"I didn't, I really didn't call." Kusaka Masami retorted after hearing this, and looked at Aoki Song: "Officer, you must believe me, I really didn't call.

I didn't even know they would be gathering here today. If I really wanted to find Ikuta, how could I come here to Takeno?"

Kusaka Masami lowered his head slightly and said nervously: "The tuition fee I was going to take to the university to pay was stolen by Ikuta."

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that if this is confirmed, then he will be highly suspected of murder.

Maybe you just looked over after I finished writing and turned off the lights and left the room. When I was writing the paper, I didn't pay attention to the time on purpose. I probably just finished it at ten o'clock."

Is it possible...

"That's right." Aoki Song looked at Takeno Koji and narrowed his eyes. Anyone familiar with Aoki Song knew that by doing this, he either discovered a clue or suspected someone.

"That is equivalent to when the murder occurred." Mouri Kogoro said.

Nakamura Hidenori on the side also echoed: "That's true. I also heard Kusaka's voice with my own ears."

Yoichi Shimizu replied: "He went to a convenience store to buy some side dishes to go with alcohol, so he didn't receive the call."

Aokimatsu was indeed targeting Takeno Koji, not because he recalled the case, but based on his previous questioning.

Hideyoshi Nakamura retorted: "That's true, but I've been in this room today, right, Qingshui."

However, as an honest child, Shimizu Yoichi would of course explain everything clearly. "At around ten o'clock, Takeno had a report to write that must be compiled today, so he went to the next door alone.

The room is gone."

"Where was Mr. Ikuta at that time?" Officer Megure found the blind spot and asked quickly.
