The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 453 It's Your Own Destruction

"Because she mainly makes a living by lending and collecting loans. The interest rate is very high, and the debt collection problem is very serious. This can also explain why Mr. Hideo Goda had to go to great lengths to get the videotape to please her."

"But this is not the most important thing!"

Sato Miwako's tone suddenly raised, with a hint of excitement in her voice.

"The most important thing is that I got a piece of news from Miss Sawada in 102. She said that Mrs. Goda of the Goda family seemed to be obsessed with stock speculation some time ago, and she owed a lot of foreign debts because of stock speculation. And the person she borrowed money from was..."

"Is that Izuki Eiko?"

Bai Masong looked at the body lying on the ground with indifferent eyes and spoke casually.

"Um,"

Sato Miwako nodded, and glanced at Izuki Eiko, whose head was bleeding on the ground, with a look of disgust in her eyes.

"Moreover, Mrs. Sawada also said that it seemed that this Ms. Izuki strongly encouraged Mrs. Goda to raise funds to buy stocks."

Ah.

Bai Masong had expected this when he heard this, but he still couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

You will not live if you do your own evil!

Rice Flower City is so dangerous, and this woman actually dares to use this method to force people to death and even empty their homes. She really doesn't take the Rice Flower God of Death seriously.

Thinking of this, Hakuba Matsu told Shiratori Jinsaburo and Sato Miwako what happened in the afternoon that he had asked Conan about.

After saying this, he looked at Shiratori Renzaburo again.

"White Bird, what did you find over there?"

"Based on my findings, we can basically confirm that Mr. Goda Hideo is most likely the murderer."

Shiratori Renzaburo smiled and said with some complacency.

Bai Masong nodded slightly, a little surprised. It seemed that Shiratori Renzaburo had made some progress during this period. Of course, considering that his abilities were not bad to begin with, it was understandable.

So, Bai Masong said calmly,

"Tell me."

At this time, Shiratori Renzaburo was like a student reporting his homework to the teacher, and he spoke excitedly.

"There's a problem with the projector in this room."

Oh?

Bai Masong raised his eyebrows and became even more surprised.

He had guessed before that the method was related to these projectors, and now Shiratori Renzaburo has really found out something.

Bai Masong looked at the projector under the big screen, then looked at Shiratori Renzaburo.

"What's wrong with this projector?"

"Not this projector!"

Shiratori Renzaburo shook his head and said.

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled open the curtain above the big screen. Behind the curtain, a projector was revealed.

Shiratori Renzaburo pointed at the projector above and said to Bai Masong,

"The problem is with the projector up there."

Bai Masong looked at the projector above with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Sato Miwako was a little surprised. She didn't expect that there were two projectors in this room.

I only heard Shiratori Renzaburo continue to say,

"At that time, I checked all the projection equipment in this room according to what you said. It was at this time that I discovered that there was a space covered by a curtain above the big screen."

"I immediately opened it and checked it, and that's when I discovered the projector."

"Of course, the most important thing is not this projector, but..."

Shiratori Renzaburo picked up an evidence bag from the side, and inside the bag was a tape recording.

"A tape?"

Miwako Sato stared at the tape, slightly surprised.

"Well, the point is the sound in the tape."

Shiratori Renzaburo nodded.

He stretched out his white-gloved hand, took out the tape from the evidence bag, then walked to the side of the big screen, stood on tiptoe, and put the tape into the projector above the big screen.

As he put the tape into the projector, perhaps because there was only sound, no picture appeared on the big screen, but sound was produced.

It was a series of footsteps, mixed with the sound of a door closing!

"This is......"

Sato Miwako's eyes widened.

"It seems that this is the sound of someone running in the entrance hall that Conan and the others heard."

Bai Masong's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.

"Well, I think so."

Shiratori Renzaburo nodded.

"Just this one tape is enough to prove that someone wanted to use this sound to confuse people and make our investigation suspicious of outsiders breaking in."

"But......"

Miwako Sato raised a question.

"Is the sound of this tape really loud enough for Conan and his group of children, as well as Professor Agasa, to hear it? They were in the living room and the kitchen at the time."

"can."

Bai Masong said with certainty,

"I just asked Conan, and he said that Yue Yingzi has a habit of turning up the volume of the projector in the audio-visual room very loudly, so loud that a group of children could hear it when they were looking for something in the living room."

"That's no problem."

Sato Miwako nodded slightly, then frowned slightly.

"The biggest question now is, how did Hideo Goda kill Eiko Izuki?"

Facing Sato Miwako's question, Hakuba Matsu did not answer, but looked at Shiratori Renzaburo again.

"White Bird, anything else you found?"

"Gone."

Shiratori Renzaburo shook his head slightly.

"Among other things, the only thing that's wrong is the timer next to the projector above."

"But I think the purpose of the timer is to shut down the projector in time to eliminate our police's suspicion."

"Of course, he didn't expect that you, Chief White Horse, asked me to investigate around the projection equipment from the beginning."

Shiratori Renzaburo's words made Bai Masong a little disappointed.

When he first heard Shiratori Renzaburo say that there was a problem with the projector, he thought he had discovered the key point, but he didn't expect that he was not talking about the projector, but the tape inside the projector.

Of course, the tape is also crucial, but it still falls a little short.

Well, it seems that he has to take back his previous evaluation of Shiratori Renzaburo. He has not made much improvement in this period of time. He could have discovered the problem with the tape if he were in the same position as before.

Bai Masong didn't say anything, and Shiratori Renzaburo's slightly smug mood about discovering the tape was gradually fading away.
