162. Liquor, save the scene

Saitama Prefecture, Room 204 on the second floor of the Barrel Mountain Hotel, Mouri Kogoro's sleeping mystery show continues.

"Mr. Sasai, that photo should have been taken with the same camera when you participated in the [Tenkaichi] Festival a few years ago."

"After that, you put this camera away, and you didn't take it out until today. Ask Xiaolan, who you met by chance at the festival, to help take pictures..."

"That is to say, among these seven photos, except for the first one, the rest were all taken today. But because you are dressed exactly the same, others think that these photos were all taken on the same day."

"This is why you were reluctant to take off your coat during the festival, even if you were sweating profusely due to the heat!"

"Therefore, when you committed the murder, you specifically let the sound of gunshots attract the attention of others, and then escaped in full view of the public, all because of that photo. Because if the time of the crime is not clear enough, the photo cannot prove anything."

Totally right...but...

Sasai Nobuichi sneered and stopped pretending. He raised his head slightly and said with an arrogant attitude: "You are really imaginative, Mr. Detective. Even as a writer, I have to admire you. But... you said that the photo was taken before.

Yes? Then, why don't you show me the evidence? If you don't have any evidence, it's just empty talk. You can say whatever you want, even if you say I turned into a bird and flew away!"

Shiraijiu:???

"Huh, if there's evidence, of course I have it."

Sasai Nobuichi, who was still laughing arrogantly, was stunned: "What?!"

"Please look here carefully..." Conan said as usual, turning around, waving Mouri Kogoro's arms, and moving Mouri Kogoro's fingers.

However, just as he turned around and walked around, the balloon that was originally pressed under the chair was pulled out by himself, and slowly, slowly, it rose up from behind Moori Kogoro.

Officer Henggou was stunned: "Huh?"

Mao Lilan immediately interrupted Officer Henggou's words with an "Ah", and he also ran over, came behind Conan, and immediately grabbed Conan's back collar, "Conan!!!"

Conan:?!!!

Suddenly, whether it was Xiaolan who was training someone or Conan who was caught, their hearts were beating fast with fear.

Xiaolan: "Really, really! How could you come here and hinder dad's reasoning!" - It's so scary! Shinichi must have been too careless! Officer Henggou almost caught the clue! Sure enough,

What Sakeko-chan said is right, Shinichi is simply treating everyone as blind people, he is so arrogant!

Conan: "Ah... no... I..." - Oops! This balloon is really in the way! It's just at this critical moment! What to do! The secret is about to be revealed!

At this moment, Conan, who was struggling in Xiaolan's hands, kicked Mouri Kogoro on the head. The sleeping Moori Kogoro immediately lost his center of gravity and fell on the table with a "boom".

Henggou: "...Mr. Mori??"

Xiaolan:……

Conan:……

Ruined--

"Alele~ It's so strange~"

Suddenly, a clear child's voice sounded from in front of Henggou, and Officer Henggou couldn't help but look down, and saw the small Shiraijiu lying on the edge of the table with his feet on his feet.

Photos that push key photos to the desktop.

Bai Jingjiu turned his head, met the gaze of Officer Henggou, and pulled the photo with great effort, showing an innocent expression on his face, "Why are the uncle's wrists in the photo different from the uncle now?"

Shiraiku's expressionless face and the innocent voice of a child are simply two extremes, and the sense of dissonance is simply overwhelming.

However, what Shiraijiu said was so crucial that Officer Henggou had no time to think about it. He quickly picked up the photos and looked at them carefully. One photo was not enough, so he took many more photos for comparison.

While Henggou was concentrating on looking at the photos, Conan quickly broke away from Xiaolan's wrist, pretended to run away, and hid on the other side of Mouri Kogoro.

Xiaolan also let go of her hand in time, pretending not to react and letting Conan escape smoothly, "Ah, really..."

After pretending to complain helplessly to Conan, he quickly turned around to find Shirai Jiu and picked her up: "You too, Xiao Jiu, don't interrupt..."

Xiaolan said while rubbing the top of Bai Jingjiu's head gratefully.

She really is! She is so rare for Xiaojiu!!!

Shiraijiu:……

For the sake of Xiaolan's soft embrace, I didn't hold her accountable for helping the two of them, but Xiaolan even messed up her hair.

Over there, police officer Henggou also saw the clues, turned around and grabbed Sasai Nobuichi's wrist.

Sasai Nobuichi was startled: "What, what's wrong!"

"Humph, it's true..." Officer Henggou looked at the fair skin on Sasai Nobuichi's wrist, smiled "Sure enough," and took out two photos of Sasai Nobuichi showing his wrist, "

Take a look at the wrists in these two photos for yourself!”

As you can see, in the photo with the word "天" in the background, Sasai Nobuichi's wrist is completely black, and there is no trace of whitening due to wearing a watch. In the other photo, Sasai Nobuichi is at the festival today.

The photo that happened to be taken with Police Officer Yokomori was obviously only taken today. In the photo taken today, Sasai Nobuichi has an obvious sunburn mark on his wrist.

"What's going on? Were these two photos really taken today?" Officer Henggou asked Sasai Nobuichi while holding these two photos. There was even a smile on his serious face, and

There's a sense of oppression.

"This is, this is because..." Sasai Nobuichi couldn't help but retreat.

"Why..." Henggou chased after him, still suppressing Sasai Nobuichi, not letting him have time to come up with excuses, "Actually, this is an old photo taken for more than a year, right?"

"..."

Sasai Nobuichi took a few steps back and was far away from Henggou, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but his guard was broken by various rebuttals from Mouri Kogoro. As he exhaled, that

The fluke mentality of stocks was also spit out.

"Actually, it's not that long..." Sasai Nobuchi said, "That was taken last year..."

"you……"

"That's right, I started planning a year ago to get rid of Imaki and replace him as the number one person in today's literary world."

After confessing, it was as if a package had been lifted off my shoulders, and I felt relaxed. It was not so difficult to say what I confessed: "A year ago, "Literary Times" originally decided to use my work as the main serial work. But the editorial department

Later, the resolution was overturned and the plan to serialize Imado's works was approved. The reason was simply because that guy was famous!"

Having said this, Sasai Nobuichi still felt very depressed, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, "That serialization opportunity can be said to be my only hope to become a writer! But he took away my hope so easily!"

A policeman came over and put handcuffs on Sasai Nobuichi, "My career collapsed due to this, but that guy's reputation soared, and he won many awards one after another..."

"Ha, did you know that the work that Imaki won the grand prize this time was a story we conceived together when we were writing together."

"But until now, who knows that I have a part in it..."

Sasai Nobuichi was taken away by the police, leaving only the silent police officer Henggou, Xiaolan and three others.

...There is also a famous detective lying on the table soundly asleep - the sleeping Kogoro Mori.
