Chapter 128 Whose face did you steal?

Although the adhesive tape is very sticky, it has been soaked in water after all. It will take a short time to extract the fingerprints as completely as possible.

Seeing that the police department was about to conclude that the deceased was a suicide and close the team just like two years ago, Conan felt that he could not wait any longer.

At least some of the known conclusions must be told first so that the police department can detain the person, otherwise the two suspicious persons may escape.

This case was somewhat complicated. After Conan objectively evaluated the difficulty of "prompting Kogoro Mouri and letting him know the truth", he silently took out his voice changer.

... Having said that, it would be nice if Shiraishi was here at this time.

While thinking about a kind-hearted neighbor who often lent him his voice, Conan lured Kogoro Mouri, who was not very useful, to the window above the solitary room.

Biu's anesthesia needle shot through, and Mouri Kogoro spun around twice, accurately lying down at the window without Conan having to pose for him.

...it doesn’t seem to be as difficult to use as imagined?

Conan was a little surprised. He quickly adjusted the voice changer, borrowed the voice of Kogoro Mori, and stopped the Megure Police Department below who was about to leave.

Originally, the Megure Police Department had great distrust of him - he knew very well what level Kogoro Mori was at solving crimes.

But as Conan described the methods of committing the crime step by step, and these methods were confirmed one by one at the scene, everyone believed what "Mouri Kogoro" said.

After cracking the trick, it's time to expose the murderer.

Conan has handed over the evidence to the police officers of the Forensic Division in advance. Now, after analyzing the criminal methods and gaining everyone's approval, he can finally make a request with confidence:

"The prisoner once blocked the small window below with tape. Just now, Conan picked up a fragment of the small window with tape on it from the grass below. The prisoner's fingerprints should be able to be extracted from it."

"Really?" Police Department Memu looked at the subordinate next to him. The other man understood and raised the evidence bag containing the window fragments to show him.

The police took a closer look for a long time and found some traces of fingerprints, but they were very faint.

He immediately asked his subordinates to extract the fingerprints as clearly as possible.



The mute was indeed a very suspicious person, but until the results of the fingerprint comparison came out, Conan was not sure that he was the murderer.

If the fingerprints on it were really his and he was the murderer, then everything would be simple, but if not...

After thinking about it, Conan decided to use the prestige he had just established to get some information.

Facing the crowd below who asked who the real murderer of Kogoro Mouri was, Conan chose his words and asked seriously: "What is the lay name of Master Tadōnen who died two years ago?"

"A lay name?" Several young monks looked at each other back and forth. Finally, Kuan Nian remembered it first, "The last name is 'Sanada', but I can't remember the name... What's wrong with his name?"

Conan recalled the unusual behavior of Abbot Tianyong last night, as well as the few keywords he heard vaguely when approaching Tianyong's room, and gave full play to his cheating intuition:

"If I'm not wrong, Master Zhongnian was killed by Abbot Tianyong using the same method two years ago - that is to say, today's case is probably a revenge imitation method."

The speaker has a heart, and the listener also has a heart. As Shunian's brother, it is natural that he also has the surname "Sanada".

He had a guilty conscience. When he heard this, he suddenly understood why "Mouri Kogoro" wanted to ask Tadana's lay name. He immediately became nervous and held back with all his strength so as not to look at Shiraishi.

The other three monks also noticed it. After looking at each other in shock for a moment, they realized something and looked at Xiunian together.

The three of them arrived early and got to know each other better. They all knew each other's lay names before entering the temple, and none of them had the surname Sanada.

But the juniors who entered the temple half a year ago didn't like to talk about what happened before. They had never heard of Xiunian's real name. The "Avenger" hinted in the detective's words was unlikely to be a passenger who happened to pass by, so they could only

It's him.

The three of them finished their brainstorming and were about to ask more questions when "Moori Kogoro" suddenly attacked another person: "The gentleman next to you who has been silent all this time, do you dare to tell the police your real name?"

This sentence is actually a bit unreasonable, because there are many relatives with different surnames, and the two people may even not be relatives at all, but friends.

Of course Conan knew this too.

But it didn't matter. He just wanted to use this question to extract some useful information, and then asked Dr. Agasa to find out who the mute was based on his name. When the reporter said what Mouri Kogoro speculated, he didn't believe it at all.

Although he would definitely be able to find out his name when he went to the police station to take notes, Conan had an inexplicable premonition.

——He always felt that the mute was very good at escaping. If he was not the murderer and was not strictly guarded, he might slip away without even reaching the police station.



In the process of revealing the modus operandi of the crime, other people's thinking has been driven by Conan, and they subconsciously believe his words.

Therefore, the Mumu Police Department did not think much and prepared to comply.

He didn't know who Conan was referring to by "the silent gentleman", but when he saw several other young monks looking at the young man with a weak sense of presence in the corner, he followed him and walked over, preparing to ask for his ID.

, check the other party’s name.

But when he got closer, he raised his eyes and saw the face of the mask, and the police department was stunned for a moment.

Although half of it was blocked by the mask, the upper half of his face looked so much like a former colleague of his!

Look at the short hair with a little curl, and the sense of déjà vu is even stronger... At this time, Police Department Memu looked at Shiraishi again, and his eyes actually became a little kind.

When Shiraishi saw the Megure Police Department walking towards him, he knew that he had been frightened by Conan's words.

Although I think Conan is talking nonsense, there is no necessary connection between murder and surname, but the mask's surname is not "Sanada" anyway, so just look at the ID if you want.

When the fingerprint results come out and it is confirmed that Xiunian is not the murderer, the suspicion will naturally be cleared, the task is completed, and he can escape smoothly.

——I don’t know if it was because of the funds obtained from the black organization, but the identity of the Mask has been improved a lot since signing the contract.

Not only did he become more capable, the system even issued a set of certificates to the mask just like it did to "Shiraishi Ritsu". It is said that it was tailor-made based on the performance of this vest.

The ID was bound to the appearance, and Shiraishi reached into his pocket and took it out.

When he put his hand in, the pocket was still empty, but a second later, Shiraishi touched what he was looking for.

He took out his driver's license and was about to hand it over when he suddenly heard the Megure Police Department asking: "Are you...a relative of Matsuda?"

"?" Shiraishi's movements stagnated.

...Holy crap, the last name printed on the certificate is really Matsuda.

Did the Q version assistant do something big behind his back again?

...But at this time, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Shiraishi quickly and calmly shook his head.

"That's it." Police Department Megu looked a little disappointed, but seemed relieved.

When he reached out to take the certificate, he couldn't help but look at the face of the young man opposite him again, and thought sadly that there were actually two strangers in the world who looked so alike.

However, after briefly remembering his old friend, the police officer Memu looked down and saw four large characters written in the name column of the driver's license - Matsuda Kuroha.

"..." He stared at that last name, his forehead twitching hard.

...not a relative?

You are a liar!



Matsuda Jinpei once served in the explosive ordnance disposal team and was an expert at bomb disposal.

Seven years ago, his friend and colleague from the police academy Kenji Ogihara died in the line of duty while defusing a bomb.

Three years ago, after noticing that Jinpei Matsuda was not in a good mental state, his superiors temporarily transferred him to the Search Class 1 in an attempt to calm him down.

The Megure Police Department served as his boss for six days. On the seventh day, Matsuda Jinpei died from a time bomb planted by the same prisoner.

The Megure Police Department actually didn't know much about this martyr. Matsuda Jinpei wore a pair of sunglasses all year round and loved to smoke. As a result, he was surrounded by smoke and couldn't see his face clearly.

If it weren't for the fact that he often saw Jinpei Matsuda's ID photo when going through the formalities for this matter, the police department felt that he really wouldn't have noticed that there was actually a family member of a martyr in the temple.

Unfortunately, judging from the way the family members denied knowing Jinpei Matsuda, he may have lost confidence in the police. This made Megure feel very heavy and felt that he should have a good talk with the descendants of the martyrs.

But as soon as he made a preliminary drawing, a police officer from the forensics department came over - he had already extracted the fingerprints on the tape and was going to compare them one by one with the fingerprints of the suspects.
