Thinking of the latest findings, after hesitating for a moment, Conan tugged on the corner of Mouri Kogoro's clothes.
"What are you doing?" Mouri Kogoro lowered his head and looked at this kid who was doing a lot of things.
Conan cleared his throat and used the innocent voice of a child: "How strange, uncle - I just went to Mrs. Sakihara's home for an adventure and found that her garage is also relatively narrow. If she is really not good at reversing, then she usually
How did you drive out?"
"In addition, I went to Mr. Sakihara's study and took a look, and found some strange adhesive marks next to the socket under the desk, as if something had been taped on."
Mao Lilan was stunned when she heard this.
Conan was slightly surprised when he saw her expression: He didn't expect that it was Xiaolan who understood his hint first.
He nodded heavily towards Mao Lilan.
Then Mao Lilan covered his mouth.
Conan: "???"
The law-abiding female high school student looked around guiltily to make sure that the passers-by were busy with their own business and no one heard what she just said, then she turned back and whispered: "How could you just barge into someone else's house, and then...
The study is such an important place!”
Conan: "...?"
Is this the key point? The key point should obviously be the weird and suspicious points in this case!
He wanted to re-emphasize his key points, but he tried his best and failed to move Mao Lilan's little finger.
"..."
A primary school student fell silent into despair.
Fortunately, there was someone next to him who seemed to be sharp enough for once to understand what he didn't say.
Mouri Kogoro snorted coldly: "What are you implying? Do you think Xiaohui is also related to this bombing and murder case?"
Conan: "Uh huh huh!"
Mouri Kogoro punched him on the forehead: "How is it possible? She is a student I once taught. How can I not know her personality? She is a child who pursues justice and will not do such a thing."
Next to her, Mao Lilan finally heard something was wrong, and she hesitantly let go of her hand: "What are you talking about?"
Conan finally breathed. He took a few breaths of sweet air and successfully finished what he wanted to say: "But my uncle knew Mrs. Sakihara in high school. Now more than ten years have passed, and people will change."
.”
"Nonsense!" Mouri Kogoro hit him hard again, "You are a mere seven-year-old kid, but you are still talking about things that happened more than ten years ago. You simply don't know how to pretend to understand."
Having said that, Mouri Kogoro suddenly remembered something:
When he was a tutor for Mrs. Sakihara, this always disciplined student once showed some lively thoughts belonging to a girl and showed off to him the secret base she and her sister had - the so-called small base was her family's warehouse.
A small window was opened on the warehouse, through which the garage could be seen clearly.
"..."
A series of clues and guesses were put together in his mind, and Mouri Kogoro's expression gradually changed.
…
The middle-aged detective who rarely started to use his brain first went to the Megure Police Department to inquire about the detailed transcripts of the two husbands who exchanged murders of their wives, and then went shopping in the shopping street.
After a moment of silence, Mouri Kogoro finally set off to Mrs. Sakihara's house.
"Teacher Mori?" Unlike her loveless appearance not long ago, Mrs. Sakihara's mental state has actually improved a lot.
She went to the kitchen to pour drinks and served them to the guests. Sensing that the former tutor was acting strangely, Mrs. Sakihara asked doubtfully: "You said just now that you have something important to ask me?"
Mouri Kogoro sighed and said solemnly: "I'm here to persuade you to surrender to the police."
Mrs. Sakihara was stunned: "...what?"
Mouri Kogoro looked solemn: "According to the transcript provided by your husband, when you were young and unmarried, your sister Miss Kanmei took away your boyfriend twice. So before you married Mr. Sakihara, you were half joking and half
Tell her in a warning that if there is a third time, you will not let her go easily again.
"Actually, you have long known about the underground relationship between your sister and your husband, as well as their plan to kill his wife. So you took advantage of the situation and killed them with a borrowed knife, making them completely disappear from your life."
Mrs. Sakihara felt in a trance as she listened to his reasoning.
...The sense of immediacy in this scene is really too strong.
As long as she changes the face of the Maori teacher in front of her, and changes the current living room background to the hospital tea room, everything will seem to go back in time - what happened a few hours ago actually reappears in front of her eyes again, just like after a rehearsal,
The plot is officially staged.
...But what we see in front of us is neither the backstage of a drama nor the filming scene of a TV series... In the real world, why does there be such a thing as a "rehearsal"?
The ridiculous idea made Mrs. Sakihara sweat on her palms unknowingly. She looked at Mouri Kogoro's opening and closing mouth and listened to the almost identical reasoning in her ears. She finally couldn't help blurting out: "...you are discussing
OK?"
Mouri Kogoro, who was immersed in the sad atmosphere of "students have gone bad", was stunned and didn't understand this sentence: "What do you mean?"
"..."
Mrs. Sakihara got the answer from his reaction.
——It looked like he had discussed it with the man in black. Moreover, Teacher Maori would not make fun of the murder case. It was more like he got inspiration from somewhere and saw through the case, so he came directly.
There are many detectives who can reason, and there may be many detectives who can see through this case. But each detective has his own unique reasoning habits - but now, the man in black, who should have nothing to do with the case,
But he chose to use Teacher Maori’s tone of voice, and said the words almost exactly the same as Teacher Maori before he could…
Opposite him, Mouri Kogoro continued his reasoning, and Mrs. Sakihara also continued to listen silently.
The further you listen, the more similarities between the words become impossible to ignore. This strange and counterintuitive phenomenon made Mrs. Sakihara’s fingertips tremble for a moment.
And the image of the man in black in her mind has also changed from a simple "good Samaritan who helped the daughter of an old friend" to an indescribable shadow.
"The man in black completely anticipated what was going to happen, so he used his unique method to help me do a 'rehearsal' a few hours in advance?"
The thoughts in Mrs. Sakihara's mind were spinning rapidly: "Not only did he reason about this case, but he also completely predicted Teacher Mori's unique reaction when he reasoned about this case... Is this really something that humans can do?
I have occasionally paid attention to detective news over the years, but I have never heard of such a detective in Tokyo... Who is he?"
