Chapter 627 Visit Testimony
  Continuing up the path, they soon reached the bridge.

There is a small police box in the open space on one side of the bridge, and a young male criminal is on duty inside.

"Are you the criminal Tang Ze? I am your fan!"

After showing the criminal certificate, the other party said in an excited tone: "I read your books in my spare time. Can you please sign them for me?"

"Of course, but let's do it after we finish our business." Tangze smiled, and it was not surprising to meet fans.

Although I don’t meet fans often in daily life, this time the other person’s profession is Tang Ze’s colleague.

As the overall face of the Metropolitan Police Department, Karasawa is definitely a well-known celebrity in the Metropolitan Police Department, especially among young criminals.

"Ah, yes, it's business." After hearing Tang Ze's words, the young criminal quickly said, "If you have any questions, please ask."

"I wonder if anyone has been on this bridge between ten and ten thirty?" Tang Ze asked.

"Well...no." The young criminal smiled: "If there was, I would have reported it immediately after the incident."

"Then I wonder if you have any impression of a man with a camera?" Conan asked aloud.

"Ah, you talk about him."

The young criminal looked at his watch and recalled: "He came over from the dam at about 9:50, and then went down the road that Tangze Criminal you just came from."

"Did anyone pass by the bridge after that?" Tang Ze thought for a while and said, "If there is anyone from this morning to now, you can tell me."

"There was no one there before the police car came. However, Miss Ayukawa came here in the morning, and then went down that road."

The young criminal touched his chin and said, "I probably saw Miss Ayukawa around 7:30, and she came back almost ten minutes later, because she smiled at me and said hello. , so I remember it quite clearly.”

‘It is indeed Miss Ayukawa! ’

After listening to the young criminal's words, Conan's expression became solemn, and he had already locked onto the prisoner in this case.

"Thank you very much. Your testimony is very helpful." Tang Ze smiled and looked at the young criminal who was rubbing his hands in embarrassment and said, "You have to bring me a pen and paper."

"Ah...ah!! Look at my brain..."

After being reminded by Tang Ze, the young criminal immediately woke up, ran to the police box with a smile, and ran out with a copy of "Shouwu: The Troublemaker".

After helping to sign, Tangze said goodbye to the young criminal and walked towards the bridge with Conan who looked thoughtful.

"Karasawa Criminal, in which direction did you see Miss Ayukawa walking toward Kutanisuji?" Conan, who was on the side of the bridge, immediately asked.

"We were on the boat at that time. Miss Ayukawa should be facing Genta and his friends. Our current direction is to our right."

Karasawa recalled the scene he had seen before, and simulated the movements of the two people as he spoke: "I remember Mr. Funaki walked over from the other side. Ayako and I happened to be sitting on this side at that time, and he was still following us. Just say hello."

"You said they are separated by a bridge?"

Conan was startled when he heard Karasawa's words, and immediately frowned: "The body was transported by train, but how did Miss Ayukawa and Mr. Funaki kill him across a bridge...

If Ayukawa-san wants to stone Funaki and disappear, she must pass through the bridge, but the guard we just asked said he didn't see her passing..."

Although they understood part of Ayukawa Saori's murdering method, the core method of the other party was not yet clear. On the contrary, the part of transporting the body was cracked early because it was consistent with the method used by Tiandang Harumi some time ago.

While Conan was still deep in thought, Tang Ze, who was also looking around at the surroundings, suddenly smiled.

"Let's go back." Tang Ze stroked Conan's dog head and smiled at the slightly puzzled look in Conan's eyes: "The puzzle has been solved."

"Um!?"

Conan tilted his head and looked at Tang Ze with a confused expression on his face.

When I type this "?", it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem! !
  Why do you understand so well again! !

"Ah, I forgot about this." Karasawa said, taking out a handkerchief from his breast pocket: "This is what Mitsuhiko and I discovered when you called me.

The handkerchief was tied to a plank and hit our boat. "

When he saw this handkerchief, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through Conan's mind, and the last core puzzle piece was quietly filled in at this moment.

It's just that the pleasure of seeing everything and solving the puzzle is instantly filled with "heart-piercing arrows".

Damn it, why! !

Why isn't even God on my side? !
  Looking at the handkerchief in Karasawa's hand, Conan felt endless sadness in his heart.

But soon he started the "Noble Phantasm of Karasawa - Self-therapy".

This is a special treasure that can only be activated when he is seriously injured by Karasawa's "Heart-piercing Arrow" due to force majeure. After use, he can recover to full health in just a few minutes.

‘It’s just good luck! ’

‘What’s the point of relying on luck? There’s no reasoning at all! ’

‘I didn’t lose! It's just a little bit luckier! ’

‘Next time I encounter the key evidence first, that will be my victory! ’

With such self-comfort, Conan quickly calmed down and followed Tangze back to the fishing hall.

..........
  The sun slowly set in the sky, dyeing the sky a somewhat heavy orange-red color.

“The competition results will be announced next. The winner this time is Mr. Takuya Utsububu with a total weight of 30500 grams in two days!!
  Let us congratulate Mr. Urububu Takuya for winning this competition and becoming this year’s champion! ! "

After a burst of cheers and applause, the hostess spoke again: "Next, let's ask Mr. Suzuki Shiro to present the winning trophy to the champion!"

Suzuki Shiro, holding the trophy, waved to the surrounding audience, and then handed the trophy to Utsubuchi Takuya.

After the champion, Takuya Utsububu, spoke, Saori Ayukawa, who came second this time, was once again welcomed to the stage. The opponent won the second place in the competition with a score of 22680 grams.

After the awards were awarded again, and Ayukawa Saori made a speech about winning the championship next time, the award ceremony officially ended.

"The 17th Suzuki Cup Ogu Lake Competition has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you for your participation. Please also ask the two winners to stay for a while. There are still some things I need to communicate with you."

After the end of the game was announced, all the participants in the competition left together. Takuya Ububuchi and Saori Ayukawa found the host together and asked the organizer why they were left behind.

And when the two of them saw Karasawa and Henggou Jugo and his party, they suddenly understood what was going on and their expressions turned ugly.

"Are you still doubting me?" Utsubu Takuya looked a little angry at everyone: "But I have said everything that needs to be said, and I did not kill Mr. Funaki."

"No, I am not doubting you. What we are looking for this time is Miss Ayukawa Saori."

Karasawa looked at Utsubu Takuya and explained: "It's just that I think it would be better for you to stay, so I made my own decision and let you stay."

"What!?"

After hearing what the two said, Utsubu Taku's expression also changed. He subconsciously glanced at Ayukawa Saori beside him and immediately questioned: "If you doubt me, there is nothing to say. After all, I am very close to the crime scene and no one can." Bear my witness.

But Saori was on the other side of Lake Ogu at the time of the incident. Couldn't Karasawa Criminal Investigation and those children also prove it for her? "

"You are right. If the crime scene is there, Ayukawa Saori is indeed not suspected." Karasawa changed his voice and said meaningfully: "But the premise is that the crime scene is really there."

"what!"

After being called by Tangze, Henggou Shigego, who still didn't know what was going on, heard Tangze's words, and his face was full of shock: "How is this possible!"

"Conan and I found this higher up." After Tang Ze finished speaking, Conan on the side ran up holding the camera in the bag with a wink.

"Mr. Funaki is a reporter. When he was at the hotel last night, he said that he would take pictures of railway work today, so naturally he would not bring a camera with him."

Karasawa explained the cause and effect: "So when I saw that there was no camera on the body at the crime scene and no blood-stained stone was found, I had some doubts that it was not the first crime scene."

Yokomori Shigego quickly stepped forward to take the camera and asked, "Then where did you drop this camera!?"

"We found it on the roadside of Kutanisuji, just under the bridge." Conan said as he handed the photo to Karasawa
  "But why did the deceased's camera fall there?" Shigego Yokomori held the camera with a puzzled face.

However, Karasawa did not answer Henggou Shigego's question. Instead, he took out one of the photos and displayed it in front of everyone: "This is a photo of an old-fashioned train taken by the deceased.

You have also seen that the angle of this photo is very good, and the front of the old train is perfectly captured.

From a shooting point of view, this photo was taken at the junction of the piers of Kutani Bridge and the cliff, which is also a flat area where photos can be taken.

This is also the best place to take pictures of old-fashioned trains, as anyone who asks railway fans will know. "

Speaking of this, Karasawa looked at Ayukawa Saori and said, "Last night Mr. Funaki asked you to recommend a place where he could take pictures of old-fashioned trains. After that, you went to a bar, right?

After drinking some wine, you told him about the perfect shooting location, and Mr. Funaki set out early this morning with his camera to take these photos. "

"But Mr. Funaki clearly fell three kilometers away!" Ububu Takuya, who was holding the trophy, questioned: "Even the place where you said you found the camera is far away!"

"Didn't Karasawa Criminal say that? It's not important at all." Conan had a smile on his face, but the words he said were extremely harsh in the ears of Takuya Tsububuchi.

"What on earth is that!" Utsubu Takuya said in a irritable mood: "Please explain clearly!"

"Petroleum, diesel to be precise, that's the key to answering your question."

Tang Ze smiled and said: "The vest on the chest of the deceased was stained with a piece of diesel. It was the exhaust gas emitted by the old locomotive that pulled the mine car."

Looking at the puzzled people, Conan smiled and explained: "Karasawa Criminal means that the body was placed on the roof of the train to move to the crime scene."

"The rough sequence is this." Karasawa explained: "Shortly after Mr. Funaki pressed the shutter, Miss Ayukawa dropped the stone and hit Mr. Funaki's head.

After being hit hard, Mr. Funaki fell on the roof of the old mining train. Then the train moved the body over the iron bridge, and finally Mr. Funaki's body was thrown down at the bend, and finally rolled all the way to the Crime scene. "

"This method is very similar to a case we encountered before. The prisoner placed the body on the roof of the car and used centrifugal force to throw the body to a place where he would not be suspected!"

Conan's reminder immediately reminded Yuantai and others of the previous case, and they suddenly realized.

"But is there really such a coincidence..." Henggou Shigego asked somewhat suspiciously.

"Coincidence? No, this is a carefully designed plan by the prisoner."

There was a little more force in Tangze's calm words: "I checked, and at ten fifty, there will be an old-fashioned mine car departing from the station at Ogu Lake.

In order to successfully complete her plan after killing Mr. Funaki, Ms. Ayukawa calculated her timing before taking action. "

"So the corpse will fall nearby, which is also part of her calculations." Yokogawa Juugo looked at Ayukawa Saori's face and said seriously.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that Ayukawa Saori had remained silent and was about to be convicted without refuting, Ububu Taku also interrupted the conversation between the two and strongly retorted:
  "No matter how careless Mr. Funaki is, he is still a man after all. There is no way Saori can easily kill an adult man!"

"Hmm... that's the same reason..." Yokomori Jugo scratched his cheek: "And if there is any movement on the bridge, the criminal on duty next to him will definitely notice it."

"I have confirmed this with the young criminal before. He said that no one came to the iron bridge between ten o'clock and ten-thirty."

Tang Ze calmly repeated the young criminal's words, as if he didn't know that this testimony would be beneficial to the suspect.

Sure enough, after listening to Karasawa's paintings, Utsubu Taku also questioned: "Since you said so, why do you still doubt Saori?
  Saori and Funaki were on both sides of Kutanisuji at that time. Since there was no iron bridge and there was such a wide river in between, it was impossible to commit the crime! "

"If you think so, congratulations, you just fell into the trap she carefully prepared."

Tangze's tone was extremely calm, but it seemed as if he was stating a fact that was unquestionable.
