Takagi Wataru and another police officer came out from the side, wearing gloves and taking the tape from Kogoro Mori's hand, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Mori!"
"T-Officer Takagi?" Mouri Kogoro was startled by the sudden appearance of Takagi Wataru.
"Where is this evidence, I will accept it on your behalf!" Takagi Wataru said with a smile.
"Wait a moment." Mouri Kogoro reacted and reached out to hold Takagi Wataru's shoulder.
Hiroshi Nakamoto is an important person. Even if there is no reason to keep people at the police station for investigation, the police will arrange for people to monitor him after Hiroshi Nakamoto leaves. Wataru Takagi should be the person responsible for the surveillance.
"Don't even think about taking the tape back for nothing..."
At least let him know if the tape is genuine and see if there are any mistakes in the direction of his investigation, right?
…
Returning to the Mori Detective Agency again, this time there is Wataru Takagi.
The recording on the tape was played, and it was indeed the quarrel they heard last night.
"Yes, we heard the same conversation." Mao Lilan confirmed, then turned to look at Conan, "right, Conan?"
"Yeah." Conan was a little distracted. What was the flaw in Hiroshi Nakamoto's previous words?
"This should be able to confirm," Mouri Kogoro analyzed seriously, "what Nakamoto said is true."
"Great, I finally found someone who is willing to believe in me," Hiroshi Nakamoto showed a happy smile on his face, and then quickly lowered his eyes with a puzzled tone, "But why did the professor lie to the police?"
Mouri Kogoro nodded, a little confused, "That's true..."
Hiroshi Nakamoto touched his chin, covered his mouth with his fingers again, and said in a resentful voice, "If the professor hadn't lied, the police wouldn't have suspected that I was the murderer of Irie!"
Why?
Conan paid attention to Hiroshi Nakamoto's movements and emotions. He didn't know if he was suspicious, but felt a faint sense of incongruity.
"I know!" Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up and he began his own reasoning, "He just wants you to be the first suspect..."
"But, what's the point of him doing this?" Hiroshi Nakamoto looked innocent, "I don't understand..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Is the implication too obvious?
Unfortunately, Mouri Kogoro, who was supposed to cooperate with the performance, turned a blind eye and did not react at all.
Hiroshi Nakamoto had no choice but to look at Takagi Wataru again, and continued to hint, "Could it be that you can't tell others where the professor went last night?"
Conan felt something was even more wrong. He checked it carefully to make sure it was not his subjective assumption, and turned to look at Chi Feichi.
"Oh?" Mouri Kogoro touched his chin, "Come to think of it...could it be that Professor Demura went to kill Irie last night?"
"How could such a thing be possible?" Dr. Nakamoto asked, "If the professor knows that we plan to kill him, that is possible, but we have been rehearsing this one-man show in Irie's room. No matter what, the professor will not
It's impossible to overhear our plans..."
When two hints of "I have been in Irie's room" and "eavesdropping plan" were thrown out, Mouri Kogoro's thinking decisively went astray. He speculated that there was a bug placed by the professor in Irie's room, and also led the police's investigation direction astray.
Then he took Takagi Wataru to Irie's room to investigate...
In Irie's room, Takagi Wataru found that the screws of the plastic socket shell were loose, and speculated that something must have been done inside. Although the bug was not found, it might have been recovered by the prisoner after the murder!
Conan walked around the room and found no other clues. When he saw that Kogoro Mouri had completely led the police astray, he became a little anxious and said, "Officer Takagi, Brother Chi..."
Chi Feichi, with quick hands and eyes, picked up Conan and covered his mouth.
"Well..." Conan couldn't say anything after he had something to say.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Takagi Wataru turned to look at the two of them in confusion.
"It's nothing," Chi Feichi said without changing his expression, "He thinks I bullied him and wants to file a complaint with the police."
"Haha, that's right," Takagi Shita smiled and said to Conan, "I can't control this kind of thing. Conan, if you have a conflict with Mr. Chi, good communication is the solution. Do you understand?"
Conan: "..."
Unjust! He is not the kind of person who would complain!
The group returned to the Maori Detective Agency.
"I want to take a ride in Brother Chi's car!" Conan pretended to be a kid, turning to look at Chi Feichi, "It's just the two of us for a ride, I want to talk to you!"
"Then communicate well and don't quarrel!" Mao Lilan reminded with a smile, pushing Mao Li Kogoro to sit in the car driven by Takagi Wataru.
Conan silently climbed into the passenger seat of Chi Feichi, having to play the role of a child making mischief again, it was too difficult for him...
It's not too late to turn around and take aim at the pond.
Chi Feichi calmly got into the car, started the car and left the place. Ignoring Conan's resentful look, he asked coldly, "Are you trying to trick me again?"
You know clearly that he is afraid of taking notes, but you still want him to be too involved in the incident... Conan has been very dishonest recently!
"No," Conan retorted. "If I don't remind them, my uncle and the police will suspect that Professor Demura is the murderer. It's not convenient for me to say it as a child, and no one will take it seriously..."
"I have no evidence." Chi Feichi's answer was simple and clear.
An advance reminder will make Kogoro Mori and the police pay attention to Hiroshi Nakamoto, but it will also make Hiroshi Nakamoto more vigilant.
There is no evidence, and it doesn’t matter whether Mouri Kogoro and the police believe it or not. Even if they believe it, there is no way to convict him. Hiroshi Nakamoto can also sue him for frame-up and defamation...
"Well, I thought you had some clues..." Conan was at a loss for a moment and felt guilty, "Then how did you judge that Mr. Nakamoto was lying? Also, asked him if he had ever joined a performance club before..."
"His behavior is too performative, a standard stage performance form," Chi Feichi said, "and the other is some subtle reactions when people lie."
"That's really the case..." Conan thought seriously.
This is just Chi Feichi's personal judgment and cannot be used as evidence to convict. It is even difficult to convince the police.
However, good relationships do not determine the direction of the police investigation. Even if the police trust Chi Feichi's judgment, there must always be a justifiable reason before they can conduct an investigation.
And even if there were Hiroshi Nakamoto's fingerprints in the room, the two men had originally discussed killing someone, so it would not be surprising that Hiroshi Nakamoto's fingerprints were in Irie's room.
In addition, there is no evidence to prove that Hiroshi Nakamoto committed the crime. After last night, the murder weapon must have been thrown far away...
How about a scam? Say that the police need evidence to convict Professor Murakami and force Hiroshi Nakamoto to get the murder weapon?
But after one night, if Hiroshi Nakamoto had thrown the murder weapon into the river, Hiroshi Nakamoto wouldn’t be able to fish it out...
Returning to the Mouri Detective Agency again, Kogoro Mouri had already begun to use a bug to eavesdrop on the two people's actions. Professor Demura was worried that the two would tell him about selling his research results. After hearing the plan, he used the two to...
People's plans, killing Rui Jiang and putting the blame on Zhong Ben's reasoning.
The entire reasoning is logically sound and completely flawless.
"...This plan is indeed seamless, but no matter how clever the plan is, it cannot escape the eyes of my famous detective Mouri Kogoro!" Mouri Kogoro burst into laughter with pride.
"You still have the nerve to laugh," Mao Lilan complained, "If you hadn't drunk too much last night, we could have gone to Mr. Irie's room to see what was going on..."
"That's not the problem of me drinking too much," Mouri Kogoro retorted, "it's all that old man!"
"I heard from Officer Megure about this," Hiroshi Nakamoto said clearly. "It is said that an old man who was taking his dog for a walk stopped Mr. Mori from going upstairs to break up the fight..."
Um?
Conan's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his lips, he considered it for a moment, then sneaked out and disappeared to nowhere.
The flaw was finally found, but it's a pity that Chi Feichi didn't know about it. It seems that he still has to rely on Uncle Maoli...
A few minutes later, Conan came back and glanced at Chi Feichi, who was sitting quietly watching the show. This guy really wasn't curious about the clues he had.
call out--
With an injection of anesthesia, Kogoro Mouri was brought down.
"Yes, the key lies in this old man, so your plan is not ruined..."
All the reasoning was reversed. Hiroshi Nakamoto did not sneak into Professor Demura's house last night. Instead, he broke into Takayuki Irie's house while he was performing a one-man show according to the script, killed people, and tampered with the socket screws.
He took the tape and threw it nearby, and tried to mislead the police through testimony that Professor Demura was the murderer.
The old man was also impersonated by Hiroshi Nakamoto. The flaw revealed was that Kogoro Mori never told anyone else that the old man also brought a dog. Of course, Megure Thirteen didn't know either, so he said, "Take the dog for a walk."
Hiroshi Nakamoto must have been nearby last night, and he didn't sneak into Professor Demura's house at all.
"There is no evidence for your statement at all, Mr. Mori." Hiroshi Nakamoto refused to admit it at all, and his attitude was not as easy-going as before. He turned to look at the sleeping Kogoro, "Still, what you detectives are best at is
On paper?"
"This is not just talk on paper," Conan said in the voice of Mouri Kogoro, "I have a witness in my hand...Miss Azusa!"
The door was opened and the woman poked her head in, "Sorry, Conan asked me to come here just now..."
Chi Feichi, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his eyes and looked at it. Now Enomoto Azusa's hair is not long and straight, but her short hair is dyed red and permed. In addition, her clothes are too old-fashioned, but her facial features are very delicate...
Azusa Enomoto's current hairstyle is really a bit unrecognizable.
"I asked Conan to invite you here." Conan was not worried about being accomplices afterwards, so he took Mouri Kogoro's name and used it. "First of all, Mr. Nakamoto must have thought about who will conduct the reasoning on this case. It is convenient.
He misleads and clears suspicion. This role must convince the police of his reasoning. You think of asking me, Kogoro Mori, to help you complete your plan. However, you think that if you come to visit rashly, I may refuse, so
You just want me to be involved in the case, guarantee that I will be interested in what you are talking about, and let me be a witness last night!"
Takagi Wataru was surprised, "How to do it?"
"He must have found out that I have a bad habit of drinking, so he put this flyer about all-you-can-eat and drink from 8 to 10 o'clock last night into the mailbox of our office," Conan secretly reached out behind the desk.
, pushing Mouri Kogoro's hand, pushing the flyer on the table forward, "In this way, after I drank from 8 to 10 o'clock last night, I would definitely pass by Mr. Irie's apartment, and you
I told Mr. Irie that I had found an eyewitness. In order to grasp the specific time, I guessed that Mr. Irie must have made sure that we had passed before he started to perform the one-man show. However, what he did not expect was that you did not plan as promised at all.
I went to kill Professor Demura, but instead targeted him, and was nearby disguised as an old man taking his dog for a walk. Of course, your preparations were also useful, otherwise even if I drank too much last night and couldn't break up the fight, it would be too late.
