Under the premise that Makoto Asai is a woman, Dr. Asai's argument doesn't have any big holes. Even Conan can't find anything wrong with it until more clues are found, so Kogoro Mouri is more easily deceived.
, and turned to ask others.
But of course, he didn't get any useful information.
Mouri Kogoro thought for a while, then changed the direction and asked: "Then...does anyone know if Mr. Preacher had any enemies during his lifetime?"
This question makes everyone feel more relaxed. As for enemies, it is now the election period for the village chief. All the candidates have conflicts, and there are also some who hate the rich, covet wealth, etc. There are too many such people, but they are also
It's just a matter of suspicion, but it's a far cry from the seriousness of the problem.
"The enemies... we all live on the same island, so it's not like... However, if Kawashima dies, the happiest person should be Mr. Shimizu, who is also a candidate for village chief..." The current villager
Chang Heiyan spoke first. As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Qingshui behind him, and the malice on his body drifted straight towards him.
"Wha, what?!" This was an incredible accusation. Mr. Qingshui immediately exploded: "You should be talking about yourself! Chief of Black Rock Village!!"
However, compared to Mr. Shimizu who was alone, at least Kuroiwa Village Mayor had his daughter and son-in-law present. The only thing he could see was a very fashionable woman with short wavy hair. She said next to Kuroiwa Village Chief: "Yes, Kawashima's death is indeed true."
It will be of great help to my father’s election! However, who would do such a thing because of robbing resources? It’s not our family that already has resources, right?”
Such words are not suitable to be said in public. The village chief's secretary quickly stopped Heiyan Lingzi: "Miss, stop talking!!"
In the blink of an eye, the situation changed from asking for clues to political mutual harm. Mouri Kogoro stood between the two parties with a headache to coordinate: "Ah, everyone calm down first..."
"In short, the murderer has been confirmed to be a distinguished guest attending today's ritual. Next, as long as we confirm whether the person is a man or a woman, it will not be difficult to find the real murderer..."
"The murderer should be a man..."
The boy spoke in a low voice but could not conceal his childishness. Kogoro Mouri was stunned for a moment and looked behind him: "Huh?"
Kuroiwa Reiko didn't see who was speaking, but noticed the content of the words: "A man?!"
Behind Kogoro Mori, Conan pointed to the body and explained to him: "Mr. Kawashima who was killed was a very tall man. It is necessary to let such a tall man drown on the beach in a short time and then drag him to this room.
Ordinary women probably don’t have such strength..."
No, your sister Xiaolan should be able to do it.
Shiraijiu silently found the loopholes in Conan's words.
Other than that, all the women in the Shirai family should be able to do it - well, except for Shirai Shuko's biological mother, Shirai Rin.
Mouri Kogoro also questioned: "It should be enough if two women work together to carry it..."
Conan was able to immediately refute Kogoro Mouri's doubts: "Didn't I just say that not only was Mr. Kawashima's back covered with sand, but there was also a trace of dragging at noon on the floor. If two people worked together to carry it, it would be one person.
It’s easier to move it if you lift it to one side!”
Mouri Kogoro: "...Yes, it makes sense..."
However, after Mouri Kogoro agreed, Conan turned around and questioned himself: "But why did the murderer go out of his way to transport the body back to the room? Why take such a big risk..."
Maori Kogoro:"……"
To be honest, when faced with this kid's disguise, Mouri Kogoro didn't know how far he could pretend to be blind.
It's because he usually disguises himself so well that this kid completely ignores his identity as a former detective. Does he really regard himself as a stupid uncle who doesn't even bother to pretend?
Uncle Maori looked at Conan's small figure with complicated eyes.
Shirai Jiu, who was watching with Mao Lilan, looked at Mouri Kogoro with complicated eyes, and also showed a look of understanding.
It seems that the feeling of liquor before was not wrong. This uncle who looked innocent in appearance really saw through Conan's disguise (let's call it disguise), and probably by seeing through Conan, he also saw through "Shirai Jiu"
"camouflage".
…
Wait, so what is Conan hiding? Not only did he not disguise his identity, but he also asked Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro to help him hide and pretend to be stupid. When he exposed his flaws outside, they had to cover for him.
To cover up, Mouri Kogoro finally stopped the incident on himself...
It's just like... Kudo Shinichi himself is playing lurking and pretending to be a detective in front, and the adults here are following behind to clean up the aftermath for him!
Take a deep breath...
If you think about it carefully, even if Kudo Shinichi is a genius high school detective, he is still just an underage high school student, an immature kid who has never been beaten by society...
Very! Reasonable!
But if this is the case, does it mean that he is now pulled over by Conan and tied to the same chariot as Mouri Kogoro, so if he is slightly suspicious, Moori Kogoro will also cover for him, right?
Although Baijiu herself may not need this kind of cover, as Shiraijiu... she can at least use this convenience to skip classes or something? She is very envious of Shiraijiu being able to run around and perform street magic anywhere freely! This
It's much more interesting than going to elementary school.
However, Shirai suddenly remembered that the reason why he wanted to stay at the Mori Office was to follow Conan, wait for the murder to happen, and absorb the resentment in time...
Why……
Over there, Mouri Kogoro had no choice but to simply turn his head and pretend not to see the calm and calm elementary school student doing reasoning at the murder scene. He just followed the words and made an inference: "Hmph... the murderer probably wanted to create the illusion of killing someone with a piano curse, so as to disturb people."
Take care of people’s hearts..."
As he said that, he felt energetic for a while.
Putting Conan's matter aside for now, the most important thing now is to find the murderer of the case, and the idea of creating a piano curse to kill people and disturb people's hearts should be correct.
Mouri Kogoro immediately turned around and asked the village chief's secretary: "When was this piano placed here?"
The village chief's secretary thought for a while and replied: "It has been here since Mr. Aso donated it to the community activity center fifteen years ago..."
"Oh? It was donated by Mr. Aso?" Mouri Kogoro turned around.
"Yes! His name is engraved on the piano cover..." the village chief's secretary said while looking at the piano.
If he hadn't had such an origin, how could he have easily connected Mr. Aso with the piano that was the dead fish of the previous village chief?
"Well..." Just in case the piano was swapped, Mouri Kogoro walked over and tilted the opened piano cover slightly to check the names. As a result, when he put down the piano cover, he saw what was behind the cover.
He actually held a piece of paper, "Huh?"
Mouri Kogoro picked up this piece of paper: "It's music score..."
