"Actually, after I learned the details of Xiao Ai and others' encounter with the 'Night Baron', the identity of the man wearing the 'Night Baron' costume who appeared outside the elevator door was actually confirmed."
Looking at Maeda Satoshi in front of him, he seemed to be very surprised that he and others followed Akiko Sayama to this room and asked him such a question straight to the point, so Gao Yuan explained in detail:
"Zhu Yu is a master of kendo, and Xiaolan is the champion of the Kanto Karate Competition..."
With that said, Gao Yuan glanced at Tie Zhuyu who was coming with Sayama Akiko, then turned to look at Maeda Satoshi, and continued:
"Therefore, the person who can easily escape from the hands of the two of them... Mr. Maeda, among the people present, I am afraid that only you, the former national karate champion, can do it."
“So, the real event organizer ‘Night Baron’ is actually Maeda Satoshi?”
Hearing this, Henggou Zhensu couldn't help but frown and asked seriously.
In response, Gao Yuan shook his head and replied affirmatively:
"no."
"Huh? Why is that?"
Completely incomprehensible, Henggou Zhenshuo couldn't help but ask.
"Because he wanted to create an alibi for someone, right?"
Gao Yuan was not vague and made it clear.
"Alibi?"
Confused, Henggou Zhenshu felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became.
Gao Yuan sighed helplessly and speculated:
"Probably because I asked the police to continue to investigate the participants of this 'Izu Mysterious Tour'... After the death of Tokio Ehara, the police continued to question the participants of this event, which may have allowed the police to continue to investigate."
The participants who asked also had a feeling——
"It feels like Ehara Tokio, who fell to his death wearing a 'Night Baron' costume, was probably not the organizer of this event. The police may be suspecting that there is another hidden reason behind his death. In this regard, everyone may also be guessing,
Could it be that the organizer of this event, the 'Night Baron', is actually still hidden among the remaining people, and it was this mysterious organizer who was still hidden who killed Tokio Ehara."
Hearing this, Maeda Satoshi was surprised, while Henggou Sensou said in confusion:
"However, let us continue to investigate the participants of this event as much as possible. Isn't this the suggestion you gave us?"
"That's right. Because I feel that even if Ehara Tokio was killed, there is a high probability that the murderer is not among the participants of this event. Let the police continue to investigate the participants, just to make the murderer as numb as possible...
"
Gao Yuan explained this, and at the same time he smiled helplessly:
"However, I didn't expect that this would lead to this unnecessary incident."
"Unnecessary things?"
He asked in confusion. Henggou felt that Gao Yuan's words were getting harder and harder to understand.
"It was the incident where Mr. Maeda attacked the police officer guarding Ehara Tokio's body, stole the Night Baron's costume, and then appeared at the elevator door disguised as the Night Baron."
Gao Yuan explained and looked at Maeda Satoshi:
"If I guess correctly, Mr. Maeda should have sensed that the police believed that Ehara Tokio was not the 'Night Baron', and then happened to realize that a certain person might be the 'Night Baron', so in order to protect that person, he
He made the scene where he appeared in front of the elevator disguised as the 'Night Baron' and was discovered."
In this regard, Maeda Satoshi has been silent since just now, but his expression seems to want to say something, but facing Gao Yuan's repeated inferences, he can't find the chance to speak at all——
"Indeed, everyone's guess that the organizer of the event, 'Night Baron', is someone else, is indeed correct. But if I say this fact in public, before the incident of Ewara Tokio falling from the building is thoroughly investigated, I am worried that it will
Another incident occurred, so I didn’t say anything about it.”
Immediately afterwards, what Gao Yuan said at this moment surprised both Henggou Sengo and Maeda Satoshi.
In response to this, Akiko Sayama silently lowered her head.
"What are you talking about! Are you sure there is someone else who is the 'Night Baron'!"
Henggou Zhenwu walked up to Gao Yuan in surprise and said.
"After all, it's about accommodation fees, so of course I started investigating it a long time ago!"
Looking for a random reason, Gao Yuan replied:
"Also, I already know who the real event organizer is, the Night Baron."
"What!"
Hearing this, Henggou Zensu's mood became even more excited, and he felt a little angry that Gao Yuan had concealed such a thing.
Seeing Henggou's reaction, Gao Yuan continued to explain:
"Because I was convinced that this organizer could not have killed Tokio Ehara, so in order not to mislead the police's judgment, I simply didn't say anything... But now that's the case..."
With that said, Gao Yuan looked at the people in the room, and after confirming that there were no inappropriate outsiders, Gao Yuan confessed the truth——
"Then let me tell you straight - I have known for a long time that Miss Akiko Sayama is the organizer of this event!"
Sighing, Gao Yuan told the people present this fact.
Hearing this, Sayama Akiko bowed her head silently and did not refute. Although Maeda Satoshi was surprised, he had already expected such a truth. He was just a little silent, feeling a little sad that his fiancée had hidden this from him.
As for Xiao Ai, he already knew about it because he heard the previous conversation between Gao Yuan and Sayama Akiko alone. Tie Zhuyu also understood the situation because Gao Yuan asked him and Xiao Ai to keep an eye on Sayama Akiko.
"What! It's Miss Sayama!"
Henggou Sengo was shocked by this truth, and could not understand at all that the young woman in front of him would be the organizer of this event as the "Night Baron".
"How did you find out..."
Incredibly, seeing that the other party did not refute, Henggou asked in confusion.
"I knew it from the beginning."
Waving his hand, Gao Yuan told the truth:
"After learning the identities of the remaining participants."
Here, Gao Yuan lied.
"What!"
Hearing this, Henggou Zenshu was greatly shocked.
"Because it's obvious..."
Gao Yuan explained:
"Shiro Konno is the employee in charge of computers in the bank, Tokio Ewara is a computer programmer, Kenichiro Kaneshiro is the backstage investor of the computer company, Hideko Kamijou is the president of the computer software company... and the person I originally replaced
Both doctors are related to computers at work, so it seems very unexpected that Mr. Maeda and Ms. Sayama would appear at this event——
"After all, judging from the few participants who were selected to participate in the event, the organizer of the event is very inclined to choose people whose work is related to computers to participate in the event... So judging from this, Miss Sayama and Mr. Maeda
, one is a high school mathematics teacher, and the other is a researcher at the Institute of Electronic Engineering, this is obviously not right."
Suddenly, when Gao Yuan raised this point, Sayama Akiko was startled, and then murmured helplessly -
"It turns out...it's actually in a place like this..."
"After that, I took the opportunity to chat with Mr. Maeda and Miss Sayama, and I learned that Miss Sayama had signed up for this event, so I naturally suspected that I was in love with Miss Sayama."
Gao Yuan forcefully explained why he knew from the beginning that Akiko Sayama was the organizer of the event, and then explained:
"But because of this, after I paid attention to Ms. Sayama, until Ewara Tokio fell from the building, I was convinced that she would not have the opportunity to cause the incident of Ewara Tokio falling from the building as the organizer 'Duke of the Night'.
"
"So that's it... So you concluded from the beginning that Tokio Ehara's death had nothing to do with the organizer of the event, the 'Dark Night Baron', because you had already paid attention to who the 'Dark Night Duke' was..."
Listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Henggou Zhenshu couldn't help but touch his chin and thought deeply.
"So, if I am thinking correctly, Mr. Maeda must have realized that the police might be thinking that the 'Night Baron' was someone else, and accidentally discovered the evidence that Miss Sayama was the 'Night Baron', so he probably came out.
For the purpose of protecting Miss Sayama, Mr. Maeda took the action just now to make the "Night Baron" appear again. This way, Miss Sayama can become a witness. In this way, even if the police subsequently investigate something,
Because of this sighting, he will have a perfect alibi! What I said is right!"
Without giving Henggou a chance to continue thinking, Gao Yuan said to Maeda Satoshi.
After hearing this, Maeda Satoshi had no way to refute, he just lowered his head slightly with a bitter look on his face, as if he felt disappointed that he could not help Sayama Akiko in the end——
"So, you are indeed an idiot!"
In this regard, after confirming that his inference was correct from Maeda Satoshi's reaction, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said ruthlessly:
"When Ewara Tokio fell, not only you, but also Moro Yu, Xiao Ai and the others could prove that Miss Sayama was with you, and it couldn't be related to Ewara Tokio's fall. Before that, I also
It can prove the whereabouts of Miss Sayama... So why do you have to go to extra trouble and make things so troublesome!"
——The reappearance of the "Night Baron" is indeed the plot of the original work, but it was because Akiko Sayama was indeed the real culprit in the incident, and Satoshi Maeda was aware of this and wanted to use it to take the blame for her.
Something like this happened.
But now, Akiko Sayama can no longer be the murderer, but Satoshi Maeda still did the same thing smartly, so that he had to come back first to solve this trouble. As for the original investigation, he could only let Conan continue the investigation...
"Because...I'm really worried..."
At this time, faced with Gao Yuan's questioning, Maeda Satoshi was silent for a long time, but in the end he slowly spoke out his thoughts:
"Since I came here, I can feel that Mingzi is a little absent-minded and doesn't know what she is thinking... At first, I didn't think it was anything. I thought maybe she also wanted to get the reward from this event...
…But later, I found out that it was in Akiko’s luggage…”
"So, you found the mask and wig in Miss Sayama's luggage?"
Hearing this, Gao Yuan suddenly interrupted Maeda Satoshi's words, as if he had caught something key——
"um, yes……"
Slightly puzzled, Maeda Satoshi was surprised to hear Gao Yuan interrupting his conversation at this moment, but he still replied:
"Because during the interview, I learned that someone might have climbed down from upstairs through a rope and entered our room, so when I returned to the room, I wanted to check my and Akiko's luggage, but..."
"As a result, you found the wig and mask of the 'Night Baron' hidden in your luggage, and when you were questioned, you thought that the police might think that Ehara Tokio's fall was caused by another event organizer, the 'Night Baron'
So you were careless and confused, and you foolishly committed what you just did?"
Gao Yuan couldn't help but say.
"Well...then...it's really a pity. Anyway, this is also a hindrance..."
Finally understanding the reason, Henggou said helplessly -
"That's really great!"
However, unexpectedly, after confirming this, Gao Yuan had completely opposite emotions and said in surprise.
"ah?"
In response to this, not only Henggou understood, but also Maeda Satoshi and Sayama Akiko looked at Gao Yuan in surprise——
"You found the mask and wig of the 'Night Baron', but you need to attack the police to get the clothes on Ehara Tokio's body, which means that there are no 'Night Baron' clothes in Miss Sayama's luggage.
It just so happens that Tokio Ehara was wearing the 'Night Baron' costume when he fell from the building, and he didn't have a mask or a wig, so doesn't that mean..."
Suddenly enlightened, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said:
"The piece Ehara Tokio is wearing is actually the one Miss Sayama brought! As the organizer of the event, Miss Sayama wants to dress up as the 'Night Baron' in the event, so it is impossible not to bring clothes. But now, this outfit
The clothes were worn on Tokio Ehara who fell from the building, why do you think it is?"
——It was not mentioned at all that Akiko Sayama organized the event for revenge, but it was mentioned that Akiko Sayama should have brought a full set of "Night Baron" costumes. Gao Yuan seemed extremely surprised, and it seemed that he had finally discovered a very important person that he had ignored.
detail.
"Obviously, the 'Night Baron' costume that Ehara Tokio was wearing when he fell from the building was taken from Miss Sayama!"
Henggou Zhenshuo couldn't help but think about it and said.
"That's right. But because the whereabouts of Miss Sayama and Mr. Maeda after staying here can be confirmed, Miss Sayama did not have the opportunity to take this dress out. So it is only possible that this dress will be worn by Ewara Tokio.
Someone sneaked into your room and found this suit of clothes. And just because of the rope, it is almost certain that someone sneaked into your room through the balcony at that time. In this case, who do you think that person could be?"
Gao Yuan analyzed in surprise.
"Of course...it's Ehara Tokio himself..."
When asked afterward, everyone had alibi before Ewon Tokio fell from the building, and Ewon Tokio's room was locked from the inside, so it was possible to climb downstairs by following the rope from the balcony of Ewon Tokio's room.
The person in this room can only be Tokio Ehara himself...
With this in mind, Henggou asked tentatively.
"Indeed it is the greatest possibility."
Gao Yuan nodded, and then said meaningfully:
"But why did he do this! Why did he take away the clothes?"
