Chapter 810 Mysterious Guest
The man who suddenly appeared in front of everyone in the elevator shot himself to death even more suddenly.
"Yes, you're right, this is a dead person." Amid the crowd of people who had lost all memory, Martin calmly continued what the woman had not finished saying.
Because the elevator was in an upward state at this time, it did not stop at this floor, but continued to rise to higher floors, leaving behind everyone whose brains had crashed due to the shocking scene just now.
When the elevator car completely disappeared in the window, Hattori Heiji was the first to react: "Something is wrong! That guy just now might not have committed suicide! I have to go up and see which floor the elevator will stop at! Kazuha, you two stay here and don't move! If the elevator comes down, stop it here!"
Martin took a look at the elevator and noticed that this residential elevator was different from the elevators in the mall. The panel outside did not indicate which floor the elevator was currently on.
Maybe it was erased by 73's will, otherwise at this moment, just by looking at which floor the elevator stayed at for a longer time, we would know which floor the murderer lived on.
Hattori Heiji, who had just run away, ran back at this time, staring with wide eyes and asked: "Uncle Otaki, where is the staircase of this building?"
Almost all residents use the elevator as their main means of transportation. The stairs, which are almost not used, are made very hidden for the sake of the corridor's aesthetics. Hattori Heiji ran around but couldn't find the safety passage signs that should be there.
"This... should be..." Otaki Goro was also stuck. The previous few times he came here, he also went to the elevator and never paid attention to where the stairs were.
Hattori Heiji quickly looked at the woman who hadn't asked her name yet: "You are a resident here, you should know where the stairs are!?"
"Ah... this... that..." This woman probably didn't know the location of the stairs, or she was frightened by seeing a dead body for the first time, and her brain crash hasn't recovered yet.
"Damn it..." When Hattori Heiji realized that it was too late to look for it now, Sera Masumi pointed at the elevator door and said, "The elevator is already down."
When I turned around, the elevator had returned to the third floor and stopped. When I opened the elevator door, I saw a corpse lying in a pool of blood.
……
Old acquaintances Inspector Megure and Takagi came again. Since it was Xiaolan who called the police, they also brought along Kogoro Mouri and Conan who were taking statements.
"Uncle Mouri Kogoro! Long time no see, I missed you so much!" As soon as their eyes met in the crowd, Hideyoshi Martin suddenly had starry eyes of admiration, rushed towards Mouri Kogoro and hugged his arms.
Being suddenly hugged by a cute 'girl', Maori Kogoro instantly felt elated: "Hahaha, my Maori Kogoro is still really charming... Well, I missed you too, it's been a long time since we last met and you've become more and more beautiful."
But who is this? Xiaolan's classmate? An old classmate's child? The former client's child? A neighbor's child? I have no idea.
While perfunctorily smiling, Maori Kogoro suddenly stretched his neck, put his head next to Xiaolan, and asked quietly with a serious face: "Who is she? Your classmate?"
Xiaolan kept looking at him as if he were a piece of trash and whispered a name: "Martin-kun."
Maori Kogoro's head quickly straightened up and he regained his fluttery pig face: "It turned out to be Martin J...Ah! Martin?!"
Suddenly reacting, Maori Kogoro gave a chilling look from beginning to end: "Are you the face-changing boy?"
Hideyoshi Martin still looked up at him with his big watery eyes: "Oji-san?"
"Let go of me! Let go quickly!" Kogoro Mouri's expression changed instantly, and he wanted to pull his arm away with a look of disgust, but even if he waved his arm, Martin held his arm tightly and refused to let go.
"Ahem! Brother Mori..." Inspector Megure coughed dryly from behind: "We are investigating a case, please pay attention to the impact."
"That's right, uncle, be careful of the impact." Martin also echoed.
Kogoro Mouri raised the hand that was not held, clenched it into a fist and pretended to hit.
Martin immediately let go of him and hid behind Xiaolan.
Kogoro Mori was so angry that he turned around to get information about the case.
Takagi glanced at the people present. He was familiar with everyone else, including Sera Masumi, who had been active in several recent cases. Only this high school girl with shoulder-length hair... Thinking back to what Huihara Akiya said, she was suspicious, very suspicious.
Inspector Megure also saw Hideyoshi Martin: "Is this lady Xiaolan's classmate?"
"Hello, officer. My name is Martin." Martin greeted calmly as if it was their first meeting. "Also, I'm a boy."
"Boy?" Inspector Megure widened his eyes. Although it was rude, he couldn't help but linger on Martin's chest for confirmation, then glanced at Sera Masumi and made a comparison.
Why does the boy have more feminine temperament than this girl?
"The victim is the Bupu Walrus who lives on the 202nd floor of this apartment building. He is a stockbroker... If nothing unexpected happens, he must be a swindler." Before Megure and others arrived, Otaki Goro had already learned some basic information, of course, mainly from the woman who was also an eyewitness.
"Are you Officer Otaki from the Osaka headquarters?" Inspector Megure recognized him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Otaki Goro explained the whole cause and effect, and how they saw with their own eyes the deceased taking the elevator and shooting himself in front of them. Finally, he very politely apologized for interfering in the Tokyo case.
"In that case, you saw with your own eyes that the deceased committed suicide?" Inspector Megure recalled the suicide by hanging a month ago. Otaki Goro was also an eyewitness. Could it be that unlike Brother Mori, who had a plague god physique that caused people to die wherever he went, this guy had a strange physique that caused people to commit suicide wherever he went? A walking Aokigahara Sea of Trees?
"Although I saw it, the deceased may not have committed suicide." Hattori Heiji reminded him. At this time, he was standing in the elevator and pointing at the camera in the elevator. The camera was covered with red spray paint: "If it was suicide, why covered the camera? It's obvious that the murderer didn't want his behavior to be discovered."
Next to Hattori Heiji, Conan also squatted beside the dead body, looking at the pool of blood. "The degree of blood drying is also a bit strange. And the dead man's watch, it stopped at this time, it seems to be the time you saw him commit suicide, right? But this is an automatic winding watch, it stopped at this time, which means that the owner of the watch has been motionless for more than ten minutes ago, right?"
However, judging from the degree of blood drying, the time does not match the ten minutes. Conan thinks that the murderer must have put the watch on the victim after killing him.
"Could it be that the murderer was also in the elevator at the time, and as the elevator continued to go up, he left the elevator at a certain floor!" Inspector Megure understood and immediately sent Takagi away: "Go and find out the situation of the residents above the third floor, especially those who are alone at home and have no alibi!"
"Yes!"
"My blind guess is that there are three suspects in total, and each of them has been cheated of money by the deceased." Martin said on the side.
Conan opened his mouth and finally said, "I won't bet with you."
"Have you finished recording the statements?" Martin asked. Conan looked dead, "No, I can't finish it. I can't finish it at all. Isn't it abnormal that there are too many cases recently?"
This was even though two of the robbers in reserve were knocked down by Watermelon.
"Probably." Martin agreed with this point. After all, according to reason, we should be in the Ocean Crystal Pavilion dungeon today. "If it's not your ability that's going out of control, then someone is fiddling with the timeline..."

On the other side, at Dr. Agasa's house, it was a little earlier.
After Takagi and other police officers left with the two hooded criminals, Miyano Akemi closed the door and prepared to think about what to cook for lunch.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang... the sound of watermelon breaking came from outside the door again. Miyano Akemi was stunned: Another intruder so soon?
The repeated incidents wore down Miyano Akemi's caution, and she turned around and opened the door directly.
I saw a person standing in the yard, enduring the bombardment of watermelons in a stealthy manner, but the person's body was covered with a transparent eggshell-shaped protective shield. Although the continuously broken watermelons on it caused streaks of light to flow through the protective shield, it still looked as solid as a rock.
After all, she was a person who had traveled in another world for a while. This sci-fi scene did not surprise Miyano Akemi for too long. She looked carefully at the person in the protective shield, but Miyano Akemi was stunned: "Masumi cousin? ... No."
The person in the protective shield looks very similar to Sera Masumi except for his long brown ponytail hair, but he is a little more mature and a little taller, and has the same dark circles and droopy eyes as the Akai family.
The black tights he wore had many strange luminous bodies and armor-like patterns on them, and like the protective shield, it had a futuristic, sci-fi feel.
"Are you... Suzuha?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Aunt Mingmei, just call me Suzuha!" The woman in the protective shield saw watermelons everywhere, and only realized someone was coming when she heard Miyano Mingmei's voice: "Um...what's the matter with these watermelons?"
Although the other person called her aunt, Miyano Akemi estimated that the woman was about 24 or 25 years old, not much younger than herself.
Miyano Akemi couldn't be sure if she was the child with the pseudonym Suzuha who appeared on the day her sister rescued her, but she thought that she must be from the future. After thinking for a while, Miyano Akemi walked out of the room and said, "Da Lang, Ji Lang, can you stop for now?"
The watermelon pitchers really stopped.
Suzuha tapped her left forearm, closed the protective shield, and quickly walked towards Miyano Akemi: "I'm so scared, why do you have a watermelon pitcher here? Is the uncle today Dr. Zombie King or something like that? But I'm not a zombie..."
"That was saved after Martin-kun became Crazy Dave... Haven't you seen Dalang Jilang in the future?"
Suzuha shook her head.
"I don't know why you were attacked. Obviously only people Shiho hates would be attacked."
"What? Aunt Ai hates me?" Ling Yu opened her eyes wide: "No way? What did I do? I only had contact with Aunt Ai at this time once, right? During the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school, my mom sent me here to deliver the time machine. That was the only time, right?"
"Although I came to this time period with Sister Xiaowu during the summer vacation before high school, I probably didn't see Aunt Ai during that time... Why does she hate me? Could it be that before this, there was a future me who came to this time period?"
"No... I don't know the specific reason. Maybe you did something to upset Dalang and Jilang?" Miyano Akemi guessed: "By the way, how old are you now?"
"Twenty-four years old, a student... Bah, an elite agent of the Space-Time Administration! I'm not here to play this time, I have a mission!" Lingyu proudly straightened her chest without any movement.
It should be the real Suzuha... Miyano Akemi speculated in her heart, turned around and led her into the room, and greeted: "Doctor, Shiho, a mysterious guest is here!"
Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai, who had just left not long ago, returned to the living room and looked at the large Suzuha who introduced herself to them again.
The girl who came to deliver the time machine was only fourteen years old at the time. In the blink of an eye, the girl who appeared in front of them again had become the version of herself ten years later. Time travel is indeed amazing.
"Cousin Masumi is only seventeen years old this year, and you are actually older than her." Miyano Akemi imagined that if Suzuha, Sera Masumi, and Akai Mary who had turned into a junior high school student stood in a row, the age order of the three generations would be in reverse order, which was a bit funny to think about.
However... Miyano Akemi looked at Suzuha's flat chest outlined by the tights... It turned out that cousin Masumi's genes were hopeless.
Ling Yu covered her chest with her hands in embarrassment: "Well, please don't tell mom. As far as I know, mom still has hope for 'growing up in the future' at this time."
"So why did you come to this point in time?" asked Haibara Ai.
"In order to ensure that the timeline enters a stable 'official history', at least a 'quasi-official history' or a 'quasi-official history'." Suzuha replied: "The Space-Time Administration sent me to promote the acceleration of the timeline."
……
"Inspector, after excluding those who were with their families or on video calls with others, there are three residents without alibis, all of whom live alone." Takagi came back to report, "They are the college student who lives on the fourth floor, the mystery manga artist on the fifth floor, and the building maintenance company employee on the sixth floor."
Martin added: "Then my next bet is that the murderer is a mystery manga artist."
"That makes sense." Sera Masumi added, "Because mystery cartoonists are like detectives, they have all kinds of amazing murder methods in their heads, right?"
Martin shook his head: "47 seconds."
"What 47 seconds?"
"From the time the elevator left the third floor and went up to the time it returned, it was a total of 47 seconds."
