Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 2661 2665 [The Detective's Defeat]

Conan wanted to ask Inspector Megure immediately, but at this moment, the inspector was busy giving orders in front of everyone. He looked closely and saw that Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya were not far from him. If he asked him now, others would definitely hear him.

Thinking of this, Conan could only hold back and clench his fists. At the same time, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the clues about the current case: Now it seems that only by solving this case as soon as possible can he get information from Inspector Megure.

Not far away.

Jiang Xia asked Inspector Megure: "Have you checked the lights in this corridor?"

Inspector Megure nodded: "Just now Takagi told me that the light bulb of the light was tampered with, so it has not been lit, and as long as someone presses the light switch, it will cause a short circuit, causing the whole family to lose power.

"In addition, the surface of the light is very clean, as if it had just been wiped - the murderer must have tinkered with these and then wiped off the fingerprints. ”

Speaking of this, Inspector Megure scratched his head in confusion: "This is really the most sophisticated thief I have ever seen. He actually set up traps in the victim's home... What is he trying to do? It would be great if he could use this time to look through a few more bookshelves."

Jiang Xia seemed to have guessed the answer to this question: "Because..."

Inspector Megure was immediately refreshed and looked at him expectantly.

However, at this moment, Jiang Xia suddenly stopped and turned to look at Hashimoto Maya.

Hashimoto Maya, who was eating melon quietly: "!"

Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Mr. Hashimoto, what do you think? ——I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know if your reasoning ability has regressed. ”

Hashimoto Maya: “…” What reasoning? I’m not a detective!

However, he is now the “Watson” arranged by Lord Uzo, and he cannot ignore Holmes’ questions…

Thinking of this, the “Watson” who was forced to take up his post gritted his teeth and could only rack his brains to recall the detective novels he had read, pretending to be confident in sorting out the current information: “In the messy database next to the corpse, there are treasure notes left by Master Zhengying, but this room has no windows for people to enter and exit.

"And the room next to it has a window near the back door, and it's wide open. Combining this information, uh... by the way, the murderer spent so much effort to set up this power-off mechanism, it should be to facilitate escape!"

Inspector Megure was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

Hashimoto Maya judged others by her own experience: "The room where the magic notebook is placed has no exit. If you go to a place like that to steal things, you must always pay attention to the retreat route.

"The murderer doesn't know the specific location of the notebook, so he can only spend an unknown amount of time searching for it - normally, in this case, the murderer should bring one more person to help him keep watch. But now it seems that he should be a lone wolf without help.

"So he made a mechanism to help him keep watch - as long as someone comes to the second floor and wants to turn on the lights in the corridor, the whole house will suddenly lose power.

"When most people encounter a power outage, their first reaction is to go back to the first floor to find the switch.

"The murderer originally planned to take this opportunity to slip out of the room and escape through the window of the next room. What he didn't expect was that many people came to the deserted house today."

Conan: "..." You are so good at thinking from the murderer's perspective. You are really an outlaw.

Hashimoto Maya accidentally lowered her head and saw his disgusted eyes.

"Hmm? The look in this kid's eyes... is he jealous of my chance to show off?"

Hashimoto Maya was startled at first, then came to his senses and laughed in his heart: "I almost forgot that this kid is a king of rolls. Although I was forced to take up the job, for him, watching me reasoning is probably more uncomfortable than getting spanked... It's worth it to be able to annoy this annoying kid!"

Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya suddenly became more motivated. He cleared his throat and continued what he had just said:

"This mechanism may be able to prevent Masakage's wife, but the deceased did not turn on the lights when he went upstairs, but directly used the light at the staircase to come to this room.

"The deceased pushed open the door and wanted to turn on the lights in the house, but unexpectedly saw the thief who was rummaging in the house.

"The thief was startled and killed her in excitement to silence her. At the same time, he hurriedly accelerated the progress, which turned the library into a mess.

"At this moment, Miss Maori, Suzuki and the magician went upstairs together and triggered the switch set by the murderer in advance.

"The murderer then took advantage of the dark to drag the body of the female magician out of the house and put it in the corridor. He then quietly entered the next room and escaped through the window-in this way, once everyone was attracted by the body, he would have plenty of time to leave here."

Suzuki Sonoko listened and suddenly felt something was wrong: "..." Why did he politely add "Miss" when calling Xiaolan, but only called her "Suzuki"? Why did Jiang Xia's detective colleague treat her differently?

Conan's ears moved and he looked up vigilantly: "..." This guy, calling so politely, could he be interested in Xiaolan?

"And that galaxy magician, just now in the car, when he was teaching us a simple little magic trick, he touched Xiaolan's hand..." The more Conan thought about it, the more he kept muttering, "Although at that time, it was necessary to take a flat ring from Xiaolan's palm, but why didn't the ring go to Jiang Xia or Yuanzi's hand?... One or two, it's really endless."

There happened to be some doubts in his mind. Thinking of this, Conan said in a childlike voice: "What Uncle Hashimoto said is so complicated. I don't understand it. Why can't it be other simpler situations? For example -"

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Xinghe Tongwu: "For example, Uncle Xinghe is actually the murderer - when everyone separated before dinner, he went upstairs to kill the deceased sister and set up a power-off mechanism.

"Then he took two witnesses to the second floor and pressed the switch he set to trigger a power outage.

"While Sister Xiaolan and Sister Yuanzi were so frightened that they stopped in place and did not dare to move, he took the opportunity to quietly enter the library, drag out the body of the deceased and placed it at the end of the corridor.

"In the end, he just needs to return to the two of them and the matter will be resolved."

Maya Hashimoto: "?!"

Why do you think the reasoning of this guy with glasses sounds better? How old is this boy?

...As expected of the person chosen by Mr. Uzo. If he wants to compete with such a talented kid, it seems he still needs to improve.

However, at this time, before Xinghe Tongwu could defend himself, a voice sounded first.

"Conan, this is impossible." Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly, "I was too scared during the power outage, so I kept holding the arms of Mr. Xinghe and Yuanzi - the three of us stayed in place without moving. "

Conan: "..."

...What are you holding? ? ?
