Location: Tokyo International Exhibition Hall
[Today is the fifth anniversary of the publication of Seicho Matsumoto's "Zero Focus", which coincides with the release of the live-action movie. The publisher and the film and television company jointly arranged a promotional exhibition. ]
[The local police station received a report at 23:07 on the evening of May 21. When the staff of the exhibition hall were collecting the books on the scene, they found a body in the warehouse. The on-site personnel preserved the scene completely. At 23:43, six criminals dispatched by the local police station arrived at the scene. ]
[The surveillance screen in the warehouse was damaged at 15:32 on the same day, and all the content before that day was lost. ]
[The personnel who entered and exited the warehouse are now being questioned, and the case is hereby kept. ]
——00:00 ——
Hello, Mr. Seicho Matsumoto.
[Hello. ]
You appeared in the exhibition hall warehouse at midnight on May 21. What did you go there for?
[I tried to sign. ]
Signature?
[Yes, my editor assigned me a task of signing 1,000 books, but because I was dragged by my friends to travel, I forgot about it, so I'm urgently making up for it.]
How long did you sign?
[Not long, I couldn't stand it after signing more than 100 books, so I just ran away.]
During this period, was there anything worth noting in the warehouse?
[Probably... No? Sorry, I was on the phone with my friend while signing. We were arguing, so I didn't pay attention to the situation around me.]
Who is your friend?
[Ranpo Edogawa, the culprit who dragged me on a trip and made me forget about the signing. That guy didn't think he was wrong at all, and instead accused me of neglecting my work and deserved to be humiliated by Kenichi. How can there be such a bad person? So I hung up the phone, was so angry that I couldn't sign anymore, and left the warehouse.]
[Sorry... I was a little excited...]
The surveillance camera outside the warehouse didn't capture your figure leaving.
【Of course, I went there secretly. If I was discovered, I would be infamous and handed over to the editor, and my job disqualification would be exposed. Kenichi really made me work all night without sleep. In order to avoid getting into such a predicament, I stayed alert at all times and perfectly avoided the staff and surveillance in the venue! 】
It's not a big deal...?
【Sorry, I'm too proud...】
