Chapter 600 The Enviable Friendship

So Nobushige said casually, "Speaking of which, Mr. Motoyama was once a baseball player, right? He seems to have the title of Rookie King."

"Eh? Really?"

"Mr. Motoyama is also a baseball player?!"

Facing everyone's surprised expressions, a crack appeared on Motoyama Masaharu's face.

He responded with some embarrassment: "That happened many years ago. Later I was injured and missed the game. I felt very painful at the time, as if the sky was falling, but now that I think about it, maybe this is also the case for me. A good thing."

Mouri Kogoro nodded seriously: "Yes, after all, you are now the ace host of Nippon TV Sports Channel. Your reputation in the hosting world is no less than that of the rescue king of powerful players."

Hearing this, Motoyama Masaharu's expression suddenly turned very bad. The smile on his face couldn't even be maintained anymore.

Nobuhiro glanced at him and remained silent.

Conan raised his head and said to the police: "What a coincidence. The powerful player was originally not well-known. It seems that it was because Mr. Motoyama retired that he got the opportunity to further develop."

The police immediately cast suspicious eyes on Masaharu Motoyama.

Motoyama Masaharu's mouth was stiff, and he reluctantly said: "It is normal for the team to always focus on cultivating individual players. Besides, after I retire, I will still work as the host who was introduced to me by Nengshi. We The relationship has always been very good.”

"Oh? Mr. Nengshi introduced you to the job of host?" the policeman said sincerely, "It's such an enviable friendship."

Masaharu Motoyama smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

However, Mouri Kogoro helped him and said: "Even if Mr. Motoyama really has a grudge against the Nose player, he cannot harm the Nose player. Because when the Nose player had an accident, Mr. Motoyama should still be on the plane."

"Oh?" The police officer became interested, "Can you tell me the flight information you took?"

Motoyama Masaharu answered "truthfully", but when the police asked him about the pseudonym he used, Motoyama Masaharu thought for a while before speaking out.

"Does he have many fake names?" Conan couldn't help complaining.

However, Nobushige wanted to complain about Japan's system where real names are not required for flying, shinkansen, and hotel stays. Isn’t it bad to use real names? Isn’t it delicious to manage?

Considering that Motoyama Masaharu is indeed very famous, it is not incomprehensible to use a false name to board the plane, so the police quickly gave up their suspicion on him.

There was nothing to investigate at the scene, and the police quickly returned to the police station with a group of people.

To be cautious, they also called the hotel where Masaharu Motoyama lived and where he worked in Miyazaki to verify that Motoyama Masaharu was still in Miyazaki last night.

"I originally planned to meet the new players of the Jaguars tomorrow..." Mr. Teranishi sighed helplessly, "The recent plans have been revised."

Masaharu Motoyama spread his hands: "There is nothing we can do about this. By the way, can I make a phone call? I have said everything I need to say."

"Of course, please do."

Motoyama Masaharu took out his mobile phone and pressed a few buttons. Since he put it in the amplification mode, the button sound was clearly transmitted to other people's ears.

Nobushige was thinking about whether Motoyama Masaharu had left any key evidence, and suddenly found Conan next to him staring at Motoyama Masaharu in a daze as if he had seen a ghost.

"Conan?" Nobushige called softly.

However, Conan did not respond.

Nobushige shouted again, and this time Conan finally came to his senses.

But he immediately said to Nobushige in a very serious tone: "Just for a moment, I saw the shadow of that woman in Motoyama Masaharu."

That woman?

Belmode?

Nobushige looked at Motoyama Masaharu carefully, and he could confirm that Motoyama Masaharu was not pretending to be Bermod.

Besides, if Belmode wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't use such a complicated method to create an alibi for himself.

So, since Motoyama Masaharu is not Belmod, why would he make such an association with Conan?

He seemed to be on the phone just now?

Telephone……! ! !

"Last time on Halloween that didn't match the timing, you were probably taken away by a member of the organization code-named Belmod, right?" Nobuhiro asked in a low voice, "What clues did you get about the organization from her? ?"

In Conan's eyes, during the Full Moon Case, Asano Nobuhige disguised himself as Kudo Shinichi and boarded the ghost ship. He should not have known what happened at the dock.

Conan thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes wide: "By the way, I remembered, it's the button sound!"

"What's the button sound?" Mouri Kogoro glared at him.

Conan quickly changed his words: "I just find it strange. Uncle Motoyama has obviously arrived in Okinawa, but he doesn't have a check-out card."

Masaharu Motoyama explained: "That's because Miyazaki has an interview to do the day after tomorrow."

"But don't you still want to stay in Okinawa for the interview tomorrow? You can't rush back to Miyazaki tonight and come back tomorrow." Conan paused, "Or did you already know that tomorrow's interview would be cancelled?"

Hearing this, Masaharu Motoyama's mouth couldn't help but twitch: "How, how is it possible? I just think it's troublesome to change back and forth. It doesn't matter even if the hotel is free for one night."

At this point, he blinked: "After all, my accommodation expenses are reimbursed by the TV station."

"Is this really true?" Conan snorted coldly, "Brother Asano is very good at judging people. He said he saw you on our flight before, so the suspicious person is most likely you..."

Nobushige put his hand on Conan's shoulder and reminded him: "Let Mr. Mori consider these matters. You are just a child."

Conan curled his lips and wanted to refute, but fortunately he had not forgotten his current identity, so he had to think of another way.

For example, let Mr. Asano and Uncle Mouri say what he wants to say on his behalf.

Conan's eyes lit up: "Brother Asano, have you called Uncle Motoyama before?"

Nobuhiro nodded: "Yes."

"Did you get through?"

"I got through, but Mr. Motoyama didn't answer."

Mouri Kogoro frowned when he heard this: "Isn't that right? Mr. Motoyama was still on the plane at that time, and his phone should be turned off. How could he get through?"

Motoyama Masaharu's already unattractive complexion immediately became worse.

The police, who had originally put down their suspicions, once again focused their attention on Masaharu Motoyama after seeing this.

Under Conan's repeated reminders, Mouri Kogoro successfully deduced Motoyama Masaharu's behavior:

He took a flight to Tokyo after work last night, and took the same flight as them this morning to Okinawa. After getting off the plane, Masaharu Motoyama left first, stabbed No. 1 Snobbish San, then returned to the airport and exited the station through the arrival gate.

Motoyama Masaharu never thought that he would fall into the trap of the famous detective's agent. If Asano Nobuhige hadn't discovered him in time, I'm afraid others wouldn't have further suspicion.
