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

Chapter 273 Free Fall Experiment

Chapter 273 Free Fall Experiment

Akiko Sayama's alibi is the least reliable. She said she was watching TV in her room at the time of the incident, but she was alone, which is not convincing at all.

"Ms. Sayama, so you can't provide a more convincing alibi, right?"

After Akiko Sayama left in silence, Hiko Akutagawa slowly spoke, "Now it seems that this Miss Sayama is the most likely suspect among all of us. You see—"

Akutagawa took out his phone, which showed a photo of the hotel's structure: "The structure directly beneath the deceased's room is designed to block the princess-style wind that blows in at night, causing the deceased to fall onto the bronze statue."

Yokomizo realized with a sudden realization, "So the crime scene is the room beneath this fake locked room, the room of that Akiko Sayama?"

Akutagawa Hiko nodded: "That's the only place that wasn't affected, but we're still lacking direct evidence. Don't you think something's missing from the body of the deceased, the Dark Baron?"

In the hotel room that was being used as a makeshift interrogation room, Yokomizo Sango, not wanting to be looked down upon by his idol, touched his chin, which resembled Hiroshi Nohara's, and racked his brains trying to find something out of place.

"Wait, is it the hairstyle? Although the deceased also had hair, the hairstyle is still very different."

"That's right, it's the hairstyle. If you were really going to use this method to kill someone, you wouldn't have prepared a wig beforehand."

Akutagawa thought for a moment. A wig couldn't really convict someone. Although once the suspicion was established, it was only a matter of time before they found out what Akiko Sayama had done through various interrogation methods, it was still better to solve the case as soon as possible.

"Officer Yokomizo, could you please go and check on Ms. Sayama's room? I need to ask the hotel reception for some things."

Upon hearing "take a look," Inspector Yokomizo quickly understood what Akutagawa Hiko meant. After all, he was a detective and did not have the authority to search other people's rooms and belongings, so this matter could only be handed over to the police.

"Okay, don't worry about it, leave it to us!"

Yokomizo Sango was cautious and didn't suggest specifically investigating Akiko Sayama's room, since it wouldn't be good to arouse suspicion and destroy evidence.

Akutagawa ignored those details and went to the hotel reception in the lobby. He approached a staff member and asked, "Excuse me, did anyone use the room phone around 10 o'clock? I think there should be a record here, right?"

Upon seeing Akutagawa Hiko, the hotel receptionist suppressed her excitement, cleared her throat, and said with a slightly anxious tone, as if she could help her idol, "Yes—yes, I'll check for you right away!"

After obtaining the information he wanted, Akutagawa Hiko was about to head back when he saw a certain dutiful fake liquor worker hurriedly returning to the hotel, looking slightly tired. He didn't know if it was related to the organization or the police.

He clearly promised to drop everything and work for his firm, but he's nowhere to be seen every few days, without even making an excuse. His self-destructive attitude is no fun at all.

Akutagawa Hiko shook his head, not intending to bother with him, but the man still came up to him: "Boss, what happened here?"

Amuro Tooru didn't know what was going on. He had only been gone for a few hours, using the pretext of an organizational mission to meet with the Public Security Bureau to exchange information, but here he felt a sense of unease.

Akutagawa briefly explained the situation. The undercover agent in front of him clearly wasn't interested, but he still pretended to be a helpful employee and member of the public, asking if there was anything he could do to help.

"No need, this case should be closed soon enough."

Watching Akutagawa Hiko's departing figure, Amuro Tooru compared today's case-solving speed with his usual speed and came to a conclusion.

If you want to delay the detective's chances of solving the case, you need to make the crime scene as large as possible and increase the number of suspicious people. Only in this way can you delay him for a while under his terrifying insight.

After all, detectives rely on evidence. Even if they suspect someone, they need to search the entire scene to find a sufficient chain of evidence.

This is completely different from the way the police and organizations operate; they only need a suspicion and don't bother to reason with you at all.

Akutagawa Hiko had no idea that his good employee was plotting how to "deal with" him. If he had known, he probably would have just found things getting interesting. He was happy to see it happen.

After all, this police officer still has some principles and wouldn't harm the innocent people around him, so there's nothing to worry about.

Akutagawa Hiko was well aware of Conan's crime-solving methods in the original storyline. As a renowned detective who could fully mobilize police resources at crime scenes, he found it much easier to get the police to cooperate than Conan could find excuses everywhere.

Downstairs, Akutagawa Hiko gathered all the members of the tour group and asked a waiter, "How is the wind now compared to before?"

The waiter recalled for a moment and nodded, saying, "It's about the same as it was back then, but it's still a little smaller."

Akutagawa Hiko smiled and said, "That's enough."

Next, Akutagawa Hiko reminded Yokomizo Sango's team, using the walkie-talkie to inform the officers who were ready in each room: "Alright, everyone can throw down the blankets now!"

After confirming that no one was in the area where they might be hit by the blankets, Officer Yokomizo decisively gave the order.

The quilt was tied into the shape of a human, and there was also a bed sheet. Whether it was the horizontal wind force or the vertical air resistance, it was not much different from that of Jiang Yuan Shi's free fall.

Even if the error is a little large, it doesn't matter. This action is only to prove that there is only room 1901 where Akiko Sayama and Satoshi Maeda lived.

In addition to some scattered pieces of evidence, it is enough to prove that Akiko Sayama killed Tokio Ehara.

"Ms. Sayama, I asked at the front desk, and you called room service around 10 o'clock, which proves that you were in your room at the time of the incident—"

Compared to Akiko Sayama, Satoshi Maeda's reaction was much more intense: "Impossible! Akiko had no reason to kill anyone, absolutely impossible!"

Ignoring Maeda Satoshi's roar, Akutagawa Hiko turned to Sayama Akiko: "Mr. Maeda said that he and your brother were close friends, but he died in an accidental fall three years ago. That—isn't a coincidence, right?"

Akiko Sayama sighed, her expression complicated: "You're right, I had everything planned out, except for the fact that you, the famous detective, would actually show up. I even pushed this child off the building into the pool, but it didn't scare you away."

"My brother did indeed die because of the hacker Tokio Ehara—"
