In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 55 The murderer must be you!

Many people present noticed it.

When Koichi Nishihara heard Yoko Okino say that he had committed a violent assault, his expression suddenly turned very ugly.

It is a fact that Koichi Nishihara once committed a violent crime.

It was confirmed in just a moment.

At this time, Maori Kogoro also remembered Sera Masumi's judgment on the murderer not long ago -

The murderer would abuse the corpse and enjoy the pleasure of killing.

Maori Kogoro looked at Okino Yoko and asked:
"Ms. Yoko, I want to ask, could it be that Nishihara signed up for the audition after Akikawa signed up for the audition for the high school student role?"

"That's right. How did Mr. Maori know that?"

Yoko Okino nodded and looked at Kogoro Mori with surprise.

“Ha! I knew it would be like this!!”

Maori Kogoro shouted,
Then he walked up to Nishihara Koichi with an angry look on his face and said in a deep voice:

"After listening to what Yoko-chan said, I am now certain that the murderer must be you!"

"Yoko-chan is well-known for taking care of the younger generation in the company. You must have seen that Yoko-chan cares about Akikawa, so you deliberately chose the same audition as him to beat him."

"In the end, you failed the audition, so you hold a grudge against Akikawa."

"For others, perhaps this little friction might not be enough to make them kill."

"But you are different. You have a record of violent assaults on many people during your student life."

"Plus, Miss Yoko knows your situation, and in order to protect Akikawa, she warned you not to contact Akikawa again."

"You became even more jealous of Qiuchuan because of this, so you wanted to kill him!"

When Nishihara Koichi heard Kogoro Mori's reasoning, his face turned pale.

He really didn't expect that Kogoro Mori's reasoning ability was as powerful as the rumors said.

In addition to the fact that he originally just wanted to frame Akikawa Sorasuke,

Basically guessed the situation correctly.

"You misunderstood, Mr. Maori! I never intended to kill that Akikawa!"

"If that's the case, then show us your alibi!"

"I already said I was alone at the time, how can I have an alibi?!"

As Koichi Nishihara said this, he pointed directly at the other artists present.

"Besides, I don't believe that I was the only one without an alibi at that time."

"Investigations require evidence. You can't assume that I hate Akikawa-kun just because he and I auditioned for the same role!!"

At this moment, Nishihara Koichi's heart was beating "bang bang".
But he still remained calm, and while thinking quickly, he refuted the somewhat "aggressive" Kogoro Mori in front of him.

"What on earth happened that made the police determine that Uesugi died much earlier than the correct time?!"

"But I can't correct their real time of death."

"But even so, just because I don't have an alibi and have such a 'trivial' motive towards Akikawa, there is no way to convict me as the criminal."

"Because the rope used as the murder weapon was in Akikawa's hand, not in mine."

"As for the chair used to attack Akikawa and Uesugi, it is a chair that can be found everywhere in the theater. I have already wiped off the blood and put it back in place!"

"They can't possibly get evidence!"

The greatest confidence in Koichi Nishihara's heart is that the real murder weapon has nothing to do with him.

"It's a little strange to say."

"There are two victims in this case, but the police don't seem to care about the murderer's motive for the victims. Instead, they are investigating the murderer's motive for Akikawa."

"This Detective Maori also judged that I had a grudge against Akikawa, so he determined that I was the murderer."

"Doesn't he care that I have nothing to do with the deceased?"

Koichi Nishihara couldn't understand why the focus of the police and detective investigation this time was always on Akikawa Sousuke.

Rather than the real deceased Uesugi.

"It's like they believe the murderer has a grudge against Qiu Chuan. But I clearly didn't do anything harsh to Qiu Chuan!" "Could it be that they figured out that the murderer wanted to frame Qiu Chuan? That must be it!"

After making his judgment, Koichi Nishihara pointed directly at Yoko Okino who was standing beside him.

"If what Detective Mori said is true, then Miss Yoko also had a motive to attack Akikawa-kun!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

When Kogoro Mouri heard that Koichi Nishihara actually wanted to frame Yoko Okino, he was so angry that he reached out and grabbed Koichi Nishihara's collar.

However, Nishihara Koichi was not afraid at all and said loudly:
"After all, the reason I chose to audition for the same role as Akikawa-kun was all because of Ms. Yoko!"

"Because I heard Miss Yoko say it herself that she hopes Akikawa-kun will leave the company."

"That's why I chose to sign up for Kotani Sae's audition. I wanted to let Akikawa-kun know that the path of an artist is difficult and to leave the company on his own initiative."

"And you said the victim was killed around the start of the second act, and Ms. Yoko wasn't on stage at that time either!"

"Because at the beginning of the second act, it is the solo performance time of the first person to die in the play!"

After hearing Koichi Nishihara's speech, many people turned to look at Yoko Okino in surprise.

Hiroshi Nishihara thought that Yoko Okino would also look quite flustered after he revealed this to her.

He believed that it was impossible for the police to find solid evidence to identify him as the murderer.

So prepare to make things more complicated.

Besides, the cause of all this was because of Yoko Okino!

"What are you talking about, Mr. Nishihara? When have I ever said something like this?"

suddenly.

Okino Yoko's voice was filled with confusion.

Nishihara Hiroichi's expression froze, and he found that Okino Yoko was looking at him with a confused look on her face.

There was no trace of panic in her expression.
Some people are just confused and bewildered by the sudden and inexplicable injustice.

This expression was as if he had really wronged her.

"Yeah, how could Yoko-chan say something like that?"

Kogoro Mori looked at Yoko Okino's reaction and immediately agreed.

"I really heard it! If you don't believe me, go ask Ms. Nakata! Ms. Nakata, Ms. Yoko's agent, was there at the time."

"enough!"

At this time, Megure Juzo suddenly spoke, interrupting the noise at the scene.

The noisy backstage area suddenly became quiet.

What he said next made Nishihara Koichi, who was determined to further confuse the case, open his eyes wide suddenly.

"Akikawa has confirmed that the murderer is a male."

"And breaking the jaw of an adult male requires considerable strength. I don't think Ms. Yoko can do it in such a short time."

Megure Juzo said this and looked at the policeman beside him.

"Go, search Nishihara Koichi's room and his personal belongings."

"Look for a murder weapon, or a protective suit or something that matches the murderer's description."

The police took the order and left.

And Koichi Nishihara was once again confused.

"I was wearing a full-body protective suit. How could Akikawa know that I was a man?"

"And what broken jaw? Whose jaw was broken?!"

However, Koichi Nishihara has not yet figured out what exactly happened.

The policeman's shout almost made his heart stop beating again.

"Inspector Megure! We've found the murder weapon! It's in Nishihara's bag!"
