Although the information Conan told the police was not of much value, the Megure Police Department sent Conan to the Mori Detective Agency along the way.
"Really..."
Mouri Kogoro sighed, feeling somewhat helpless about this active child staying in his home.
But his attention soon shifted to the case itself.
"Even if she had the motive to kill those four people, it doesn't mean that she is the criminal, right? She has been plotted against before."
Conan gave Mouri Kogoro a thumbs up in his mind and followed his words, hoping to get more information from the police:
"Huh? Doesn't Mr. Soma Hikaru have any other family members who can avenge him?"
Mouri Kogoro also nodded. If Souma Hikari had other close relatives alive, then the murder of those four people would be considered a sufficient motive, and there is no need to limit the scope to Akito Reiko.
"Is this..."
Upon hearing this, Officer Takagi took out a small notepad from the lining pocket of his coat.
"His mother was an unwed mother, but she passed away five years ago, and Mr. Soma Hikaru has no other siblings."
Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows: "What about his father?"
"Then I don't know..." Takagi shook his head, "Let alone his identity, I don't even know whether his father is still alive or not."
Officer Takagi spread out his notebook and placed it on the coffee table.
Several police officers and Mouri Kogoro began to speculate and discuss various possibilities, but Conan's eyes were placed on the open page of the notebook, and he was stunned for an instant.
"Soma Hikaru
Born on August 3, Showa 52
28 years old at time of death
Mother died 5 years ago
no brothers
Father unknown”
Officer Takagi briefly wrote down the information he investigated in a notebook, but Conan's eyes were fixed on the line with his date of birth.
Something that I had once glimpsed appeared in my mind, and a possibility emerged in my mind.
At the same time, Yuan Huaiyu's words suddenly echoed in his ears.
Never think you are safe, but never think yourself dangerous.
A flash of surprise flashed in Conan's eyes. But he also knew that his guess needed further verification.
Officer Sato's words on the side interrupted Conan's thoughts: "It's just that the four people who were killed caused a lot of trouble in addition to Mr. Soma Hikaru's matter."
"For example, for example, I performed on stage after being drunk and was scolded severely by Mr. Domoto... Well, at Domoto's concert a year ago. The music played at that time was Beethoven's Piano Quartet."
Mouri Kogoro's eyes suddenly lit up.
…
"So? That uncle took those people from the Metropolitan Police Department to Mr. Domoto's house to hold him accountable?"
Haiyuan Ai didn't even raise his head, his eyes still flickering back and forth on the book in his hand.
"Yes, Uncle Mouri seems to think that Domoto Ichiwa's son, Domoto Xian, is the murderer who caused a series of murders."
When he said this, Conan only felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He didn't know where Mouri Kogoro had made the wrong move, but Conan, who had experienced countless similar incidents, vaguely felt that if he followed Uncle Mouri, he might
It will embarrass yourself...
Conan's hunch was not wrong. At the same time, Kogoro Mori and members of the Megure Police Department had arrived at Domoto Issaki's home, and watched Uncle Mori talk about his astonishing "Maori Elimination Method" reasoning.
The reasoning that Domoto Genya had murderous intentions because he blasphemed Beethoven, whom Genya loved so much, made Domoto and his son look confused and angry, and also made several police officers at the Metropolitan Police Department twitch their eyes.
Previously, after a group of people went out in great force, Conan wandered into Yuanhuaiyu's house.
Judging from Yuan Huaiyu's previous attitude, Conan felt that this teacher Yuan probably knew something.
Yuan Huaiyu was half lying on the armchair at this time, closing his eyes and taking a nap, with a book covering his face to block the light.
Under the soft, warm but not dazzling light, a retro record player is working in the corner of the living room. Its casing is made of dark wood material, with a warm luster on the surface.
As the needle fell gently, it accurately touched the fine lines on the record. The melody rose slowly, and every note jumped, but it was Beethoven's "Destiny".
"You said that you followed Miss Qiuting Reiko most of the time today?" came a slightly dull voice because of the book on her face.
"right."
"Were you attacked?"
"Yes... hmm?"
Conan was stunned for a moment, looking at Yuanhuaiyu as if he had seen a ghost, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
How did Mr. Minamoto know that he and Ms. Reiko Akiba were attacked in the woods? He did not tell anyone about this, including the close police officer Megure Takagi Sato and others.
"It's strange why I know that, right?"
Conan nodded subconsciously.
"That's a matter of course. After all, time is very tight, and that person must deal with the unstable factors as soon as possible."
In just one sentence, Conan captured several important pieces of information.
"Time is running out? Does the suspect have other additional purposes?"
Conan quickly entered the thinking mode: "If Miss Qiuting is an unstable factor, is it because it may hinder that person's subsequent purpose? Time is urgent, time is urgent..."
If time is of the essence, it means that something is going to happen in the near future. The thing most closely related to the four dead people and Reiko Akiba at the moment is the upcoming Domoto concert.
"What did the prisoner want to do at Domoto's concert?"
When this thought appeared in his mind, Conan was startled and his heartstrings tightened.
Whether it is the Maori father and daughter, the Young Detective Team and Dr. Agasa, they will all go to the Domoto Concert Hall to enjoy this concert.
If the suspect wants to target Domoto's concert, will the people close to him be in danger?
But soon, Conan's expression changed from serious to relaxed.
He looked at Yuan Huaiyu. Teacher Yuan was also going to the concert. Although he still couldn't completely believe Yuan Huaiyu, after getting along with him for so many days, Conan also knew that this teacher shrouded in mystery was facing
When someone endangers himself and others around him, the dangerous factors must be eliminated.
With this layer of factors present, Conan suddenly felt confident.
But if he wants to know what the supposed suspect in his mind wants to do, Conan doesn't have a clue yet.
At this moment, Yuanhuaiyu's voice sounded again.
"Let me remind you, as far as I know, the violinist Miss Kawabe Kanoko, who was seriously injured in the previous bombing, has absolute musicality..."
His voice became lower and lower, sounding like he was about to fall asleep.
