Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Takagi and another police officer came out from the side, and took the tape from Mori Kogoro with gloves on, "Thank you, Mr. Mori!"

"Taka, Officer Takagi?" Mori Kogoro was taken aback by Takagi Tsutomu who suddenly appeared.

"As for this evidence, I will accept it for you!" Gao Mushe said with a smile.

"Wait for me." Mori Kogoro reacted, reaching out and pressing Takagi Sher's shoulder.

Hiroshi Nakamoto is an important person. Even if there is no reason to keep him in the police station for investigation, the police will arrange someone to monitor after Hiroshi Nakamoto leaves. Takagi Wataru should be the person in charge of monitoring.

"Don't even think about taking the tape back for nothing..."

At least let him know whether listening to the tape is true, and see if there is any mistake in the direction of his investigation?

...

Returning to Mori Detective Agency again, this time there is Takagi Wataru.

The recording on the tape was played, and it was indeed the quarrel they heard last night.

"That's right, what we heard was the same conversation." Mao Lilan confirmed, and turned to look at Conan again, "Right, Conan?"

"Yeah." Conan was a little absent-minded, what was the flaw in Hiroshi Nakamoto's words before?

"This should prove it," Mori Kogoro analyzed with a serious expression, "What Nakamoto said is true."

"Great, I finally found someone who is willing to believe in me." Hiroshi Nakamoto showed a gratified smile on his face, and quickly lowered his eyes in a puzzled tone, "But why did the professor lie to the police?"

Mori Kogoro nodded, also somewhat puzzled, "Indeed..."

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 would not have suspected that I was the murderer of Irie!"

Why?

Conan paid attention to Hiroshi Nakamoto's movements and emotions, wondering if he had doubts in his heart, and faintly felt a strange incongruity.

"I know!" Mori Kogoro's eyes lit up, and he began to reason, "He just wants you to be the number one suspect..."

"But, what's the point of him doing this?" Hiroshi Nakamoto looked innocent, "I don't understand..."

Chi Feichi: "..."

Is the hint too obvious?

It's a pity that Mori Kogoro, who was supposed to cooperate with the performance, turned a blind eye and didn't react at all.

Hiroshi Nakamoto had no choice but to turn his head to look at Takagi She, and continued to hint, "Could it be that the professor went somewhere last night, or can't tell others?"

Conan felt that something was even more wrong. After carefully identifying it, he made sure that it was not his own subjective assumption, and turned to look at Chi Feichi.

"Oh?" Mori Kogoro stroked his chin, "So... Could it be that Professor Demura went to kill Irie last night?"

"How could such a thing happen?" Hiroshi Nakamoto said, "If the professor knew that we planned to kill him, it would be possible, but we have been rehearsing this one-man show in Irie's room. Impossible to overhear our plans..."

When the two hints of "always in Irie's room" and "eavesdropping plan" were thrown out, Mori Kogoro's thoughts went astray decisively. He speculated that there was a bug placed by the professor in Irie's room, which also led the police's investigation direction astray. He took Takagi Tsutomu to Irie's room to investigate...

In Irie's room, Takagi found that the screws of the plastic shell of the socket were all loose, and speculated that there must have been tampering inside. Although no bug was found, it may have been recycled by the prisoner after the murder!

Conan walked around the room, but found no other clues. Seeing that Mori Kogoro had completely led the police astray, he became a little anxious, "Officer Takagi, brother Chi..."

Chi Fei was quick-witted and picked up Conan to cover his mouth.

"Hmm..." Conan couldn't say anything after "I have something to say".

"Huh? What's the matter?" Gao Mushe turned to look at the two in doubt.

"It's nothing." Chi Feichi didn't change his expression, "He thinks I'm bullying him and wants to file a complaint with the police."

"Haha, that's it," Takagi She said with a smile, "I can't handle this kind of thing, Conan, if you have a conflict with Mr. Chi, the solution is to communicate well, understand?"

Conan: "..."

Injustice! He's not the type to sue!

The group returned to the Maori Detective Agency.

"I want to go for a ride in Brother Chi's car!" Conan put on a childish tone, and turned 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, and pushed Moori Kogoro to take the car driven by Takagi.

Conan silently climbed into Chi Feichi's passenger seat, and had to act like a child, it was too difficult for him...

Turning his head, he looked at Chi Feichi.

Chi Feichi got into the car calmly, started the car and left the spot, ignoring Conan's resentful eyes, and asked coldly, "Are you trying to trick me again?"

Knowing that he is afraid of taking notes, but still trying to get him too involved in the incident... Conan has been very dishonest recently!

"That's not true," Conan retorted, "If you don't remind them, uncle and the police will suspect that Professor Chucun is the murderer. I'm a child and it's not convenient for me to say it, and no one will take it seriously..."

"I have no proof." Chi Feichi's answer was simple and clear.

The reminder in advance is to make Kogoro Mori and the police pay attention to Hiroshi Nakamoto, but it will also make Hiroshi Nakamoto more vigilant.

There is no evidence, not to mention whether Mori Kogoro and the police believe it or not, even if they believe it, there is no way to convict him. Hiroshi Nakamoto can sue him for framing and slander...

"Uh, I thought you had some clues..." Conan felt guilty for a while, "Then why did you judge Mr. Nakamoto to be lying? Also, ask him if he has joined the acting club before..."

"His demeanor is too performative, a standard stage performance," Chi Feichi said, "In addition, there are some subtle reactions when people tell lies."

"It's really like this..." Conan thought seriously.

This is just Chi Feichi's personal judgment, which cannot be used as evidence to convict him, and it is even difficult to convince the police.

A good relationship does not determine the direction of the police investigation. Even if the police trust Chi Feichi's judgment, there must be a plausible reason before the investigation can be carried out.

And even if there were Hiroshi Nakamoto's fingerprints in the room, the two had already discussed killing people, so it's not 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 a whole night last night, the murder weapon must have been thrown far away...

How about cheating? It is said that the police need evidence to convict the village professor and force Hiroshi Nakamoto to get the murder weapon?

But after one night, if Hiroshi Nakamoto had thrown the murder weapon into the river earlier, Hiroshi Nakamoto would not have been able to fish it out...

Going back to the Maori Detective Agency again, Kogoro Mori has already begun to "Professor Demura was worried about the two people selling his research results, so he used a bug to eavesdrop on their actions. After hearing the plan, he used the two People's plan to kill Irie, blame Nakamoto' reasoning.

The whole reasoning is logical and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"...This plan is indeed flawless, but no matter how ingenious the plan is, it cannot escape the eyes of my famous detective Mouri Kogoro!" Mori Kogoro laughed triumphantly.

"You still have the nerve to laugh," Mao Lilan complained, "If you didn't drink too much last night, we could go to Mr. Irie's room to see what's going on..."

"That's not a problem with me drinking too much," Mori Kogoro retorted, "It's all about that old man!"

"I heard from Police Officer Megure about this," Hiroshi Nakamoto said clearly, "It is said that an old man took his dog for a walk, and stopped Mr. Mori from going upstairs to persuade him to fight..."

Um?

Conan's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile. After thinking about it, he sneaked out, not knowing where he went.

The flaw was finally found, but it's a pity that Chi Feichi didn't know about it. It seems that it still depends on Uncle Mao Li...

A few minutes later, Conan came back and glanced at Chi Feichi who was sitting quietly watching the play. This guy really wasn't curious about the clues he had.

call out--

With an anesthetic injection, Kogoro Mori was brought down.

"Yeah, the key lies in this old man, so that your plan is not destroyed..."

The reasoning was all reversed. Hiroshi Nakamoto did not sneak into Professor Demura's house last night. Instead, he broke into Egui's house when he was performing a one-man show according to the script, killed him, and tampered with the socket screws. He took the tape and threw it nearby, and passed the testimony in an attempt to mislead the police—Professor Demura was the murderer.

The old man was also pretended by Hiroshi Nakamoto, and the flaw revealed was that Mori Kogoro never told anyone else that the old man had a dog with him, so Megushisan naturally didn't know, 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.

"Your statement has no evidence 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, "Or, what you detectives are best at is Talking about war on paper?"

"This is not just talking on paper," Conan said in the voice of Mori Kogoro, "I have a witness in my hand...Miss Azusa!"

The door was opened, and the woman probed, "Sorry, Conan asked me to come here just now..."

Sitting on the sofa, Chi Feichi raised his eyes and looked up. Now Azusa Enomoto's hair is not black and straight, short hair is dyed red and curled, and the clothes are too old-fashioned, but the facial features are very delicate...

Azusa Enomoto with this hairstyle is really unrecognizable.

"I asked Conan to invite you here." Conan didn't worry about being exposed afterwards, and used the name of Mori Kogoro, "First of all, Mr. Nakamoto must have thought about who will be in charge of this case. He is misleading and removes suspicion. This role must convince the police of his reasoning. You think of asking me, Mori Kogoro, to help you complete the plan. But, you think, if I rush to visit, I might refuse, so You just want me to be involved in the case, make sure I'm interested in what you say, and let me be a witness last night!"

Takagi was surprised, "How to do it?"

"He must have found out that I have a bad habit of drinking, so he put this leaflet about eating all you can from 8:00 to 10:00 last night into the mailbox of our office," Conan secretly reached out his hand behind the desk , pushed Kogoro Mori’s hand, and pushed the leaflet on the table forward, “In this way, after I had a drink from 8 to 10 last night, I must pass by Mr. Irie’s apartment, and you Tell Mr. Irie to find a witness. In order to grasp the specific time, I guess Mr. Irie must have started to perform that one-man show after confirming that we passed, but what he didn't expect is that you didn't follow the plan at all Going to kill Professor Chumura, but he was eyeing him, and at that time he was disguised as an old man walking with a dog nearby. Of course, your preparations are also useful, otherwise, even if I drank too much last night, I couldn’t try to persuade the fight. Or maybe go, which would ruin your plans..."
