Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Hey! Masquerade kick!"

"Damn Kamen Rider!"

Ayumi and the others gathered in front of the TV watching with relish, but it was much quieter anyway.

"That is to say," Takagi looked at Akira Kato outside, and said in a daze, "Is Chiba watching the 9:00 replay of Good Morning at 7?"

"Probably."

"If it takes an hour and a half to drive from the scene to here, then after killing Mr. Nakamoto at 7 o'clock in the morning, it will be almost 9 o'clock when you return here, and then wake up Chiba to watch TV together, and you can create an alibi... "

Gao Mu murmured and said: "Chiba also said that the two of them had been drinking last night, and they ended up sleeping in this living room. Maybe they drank the wine to make Chiba oversleep in the morning. If Chiba was woken up, With a hangover, you might not notice that you're watching reruns on cable..."

"No!" Qianye said helplessly, "I may not have woken up in the morning, but wasn't the program recorded? And it was recorded together with the time shown on the cooking program. There is no time on the screen, because it is two hours late...

"Also, we watched the show at 8 o'clock, and then watched 6 hours of video, and the baseball game that started at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Until you came over, Kato was by my side. The only one who was not with me was me. The 30 minutes of going to the shower, 30 minutes of not being able to do anything..."

"Can't you really do anything?" Gao Cheng laughed, "You can do a lot of things in 30 minutes, such as copying videos..."

"Copy the video?" Chiba stared blankly at Gao Cheng.

"Officer Chiba, what time do you go to take a shower?"

"It should be around 11 o'clock when I watched half of the Kamen Rider video..."

"So," Gao Cheng sat up from the TV and looked up at the clock in the living room, "as long as you regularly record the 7 o'clock program in the morning in advance, you can wait 30 minutes before you go to the shower and copy and overwrite what you recorded. The cable TV show, which is part of Yoko's 4-minute cooking show...

"Officer Chiba, think about it again, did you really see the time display on the TV when you watched Good Morning cooking at 7:4?"

"I..." Chiba opened her mouth, looking at the messy TV covered in notes, she was a little unsure.

"Hello,

Akira Kato stood behind Chiba sweating profusely at some point, "These are just your guesses, okay? We watched the video of Kamen Rider for 6 hours from 8 o'clock in the morning!" Including Chiba's 30 minutes to take a bath, a total of 6 and a half hours. If I watch the replay at 9 o'clock, how can I still have time to watch it..."

"I can finish watching," Gao Cheng greeted Kato Akira and the old police officer who were searching, "If it was me, I could finish watching, except for the commercial time, and the beginning and end of the movie, including the preview of the next episode and the prequel I have to fast-forward and skip all the synopsis, one episode should only be about 20 minutes, and if there are 12 episodes, it will only take 4 hours."

"So that's it," Takagi asked again, "Chiba, did you guys do the same?"

"This, it seems to be..."

"That's right."

The old police officer stroked his chin and said, "Even if the replay from 9:00 to 10:00 is two hours late, as long as Chiba can watch the video later, he can use the error to catch up with the baseball game that starts at 2:00."

"And because I went to take a bath in the middle, the concept of time is even more blurred..."

Takagi and Sato looked at Chiba who was stunned for a while, their thinking became clearer, and they felt more and more that there was a problem in the middle.

"Wait a minute!" Akira Kato said anxiously, "Chiba used to go to the bathroom, and even got drinks from the kitchen. In these places, Chiba installed a clock for worrying about being late for work. If he was going to check the time, wouldn't it be a crime?"

"Yes, yes," Qianye said confusedly, "There is nothing strange..."

"That's because the hands of the clocks in the living room and the kitchen had been moved forward by two hours before waking Police Officer Chiba up, and when I watched the video, I found an opportunity to adjust them back to normal, thus stealing Officer Chiba's two hours. ..."

Gao Cheng looked at the clock in the living room: "The evidence is that the clocks in Police Officer Chiba's bedroom and the entrance are 5 minutes faster, and only the clocks in the places you just mentioned are accurate. I think the reason why you didn't move the bedroom The clock is because Chiba slept in the living room last night, even if she takes a shower, she has to change clothes, so she probably won't go into the bedroom..."

"What about the porch?" Sato asked, staring at the clock in the living room.

"The clock at the entrance is because it can't be moved." Gao Cheng looked at Akira Kato, whose face was getting more and more ugly, "If a courier or other visitors come to the door and find that the time at the entrance is wrong, they will definitely be suspected, especially if the original reservation I'm going to return the videotape today..."

"But if that's the case, if Chiba goes to the entrance..."

"So he was the one who opened the door when you came over."

"Hello!" Akira Kato's face twisted slightly, looking at Gao Cheng with a trace of fear in his eyes, "You, do you have any evidence that I killed someone? Just because the clock time at home just happened to be different..."

"Kato," Chiba's eyes trembled, his face turned slightly pale, "every clock in this house is set forward by 5 minutes, so that I won't be late for work..."

"What?" Kato Akira's eyes widened.

"If you want evidence," Gao Cheng walked to the entrance with his hands in his hands, "Are you sure you didn't go out this morning?"

"When, of course not..."

"You've washed your shoes, right? Even though they've been blown dry, the laces are still wet."

Gao Cheng smiled, and looked at Akira Kato again: "Are you going to say that you just want to wash your shoes?"

"I……"

"It's useless. Since you don't know how to hide the tools of crime here, you must have thrown them on the way home. Judging by your appearance, you don't have time to throw them away. Of course, the possibility of sinking in the embankment is the greatest, and then you use them." There's no time to deal with the traffic coming and going, right?"

Gao Cheng calmly looked at Kato Akira who collapsed with his back against the wall.

"Don't underestimate the police. After you have the direction, you will definitely be able to find out. You haven't been able to achieve seamlessness."

Akira Kato's lips were dry: "There are red fingerprints everywhere in the car, I planned to wipe them off carefully later..."

"You really..." Qianye grabbed Kato uncomfortablely, "You really used me to trick me into giving you an alibi?! Kato!"

"That's right," Akira Kato said with a distraught smile, "I want to have you as a policeman to help testify, and the police probably won't continue the investigation... But you suddenly said that a friend is coming to return the videotape, and he is a famous detective. I was a little flustered, and I didn't even notice that every clock here was fast by 5 minutes..."

"Kato, you bastard! You..."

"I'm sorry, Chiba..."

Akira Kato let Chiba grab the collar, choked up and shed tears from his eyes.

"I can't think of any other way, in order to get revenge on him for taking away my woman... When I was on a business trip abroad, I already knew that woman was getting cold towards me, so I wasn't too shocked when she said she was going to marry Zhongben , but when I found Zhong Benna, I realized that it was that guy who played tricks, and I didn't intend to do it at first..."

Gao Cheng's complexion changed, and he didn't continue to make a sound. He walked to Ayumi and the others to look at Kamen Rider together.

After all, the world of adults is not as simple as that of children...
