Conan: Naruto

Mori Kogoro raised his right index finger towards the ceiling, opened his eyes and stared intently at Police Officer Megure, reasoning seriously:

"What I said was to remind Officer Megure not to forget what happened last night.

At that time, Haoyue suspected that Mr. Sakaguchi gave John an attack order.

This is actually very likely to be true, because according to my guess!

Sakaguchi once secretly trained John to attack when he heard a specific signal!

As such...

Sakaguchi only needs to tell John the code word in the phone call last night, that is...

How are you, John?

How are you, John. "

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Mao Li Kogoro, thought in her heart and denied:

"No way!!

Police officer Meguro said just now that Masayoshi Sakaguchi repeated what he said last night in front of John!

So pure verbal codes are definitely not the truth, maybe we have missed something..."

Mori Kogoro paused for two seconds, then concluded solemnly:

"In the end John threw himself on Maehara, causing Maehara's death.

Then Mr. Sakaguchi's revenge plan was naturally completed. "

Officer Mumu shook his head calmly, and firmly denied:

"That is impossible."

"Why?"

Mori Kogoro froze suddenly, and looked at Police Officer Megure with a confused expression.

"Have you forgotten?"

Police Officer Mumu shook the notebook in his hand, and solemnly reminded:

"This morning, when I asked Mr. Sakaguchi about it.

Sakaguchi answered the question while stroking John's head.

At that time, Sakaguchi repeated what he said to Maehara just in front of John!

But after John heard it, he obviously didn't react at all. "

"what……

What you said makes sense..."

Mori Kogoro looked at the floor dejectedly, and sighed extremely sadly:

"I thought my reasoning was brilliant...

Ugh……"

Police officer Mu Mu stood up, smiled and comforted:

"Hi!

Brother Maori, don't get discouraged so quickly, take heart!

Maybe we missed some clues, maybe that's it! "

Dongfang Haoyue stared intently at the thoughtful Kudo Shinichi, and thought seriously in her heart:

"By observing Shinichi's expression, it can be seen that this case is more difficult, at least Shinichi has not yet figured out the truth.

Although Masayoshi Sakaguchi is most suspected, the original words on the phone from Sakaguchi could not order John to attack.

Is it really because John went crazy this time that Maehara died?

But I feel that the idea of ​​the code is mostly correct, but as Officer Megure said, we missed some clues.

clues... clues...

what……

Have no idea……! ! "

--------

Masayoshi Sakaguchi's villa, living room.

After half an hour.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi held a glass of orange juice in each hand and placed it on the wooden table in front of the sofa.

Sakaguchi looked at Kudo Shinichi and Dongfang Haoyue who were sitting side by side on the sofa, and said with a hearty smile:

"Conan, Haoyue.

It really makes me happy that you guys can come and play with me. "

Kudo Shinichi looked up at Masayoshi Sakaguchi, and said innocently:

"I think it would be lonely if Uncle was home alone if John wasn't there!

So Haoyue and I decided to visit Uncle~! "

Dongfang Haoyue raised her hands high and echoed excitedly:

"Yes yes yes!

Seeing that Uncle's mentality is still so good, Conan and I are relieved~! "

"thank you all!

Hahaha! "

Masayoshi Sakaguchi grinned from ear to ear.

"Uncle, I want to ask you."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Masayoshi Sakaguchi, and asked curiously according to the lines discussed with Kudo Shinichi in advance:

"Does John always sleep on the second floor~?"

Masayoshi Sakaguchi glanced back at the second floor, and replied without hesitation:

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi asked puzzledly:

"Why isn't John sleeping downstairs?"

Masayoshi Sakaguchi pointed to an obvious door on the second floor, and reminded him kindly:

"After going up the steps, there is a door next to it.

right? "

"Ok!"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi nodded in unison.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi looked back at the door and said sadly:

"Because it used to be my son's room."

"what?"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi made surprised sounds.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi explained heavily:

"My son has always loved John very much.

But John was not allowed in the bedroom until my wife died.

So, my son had to let John sleep in front of his room.

But in the years since my son died, John has slept there too, never changing his position.

I think……

John must have been waiting for my son to open the door to say good morning. "

Kudo Shinichi felt thirsty when he heard it, so he picked up a glass of orange juice and put it to his mouth, but unexpectedly discovered...

Above the wooden cabinet on the outer wall of the stairs, there is a wired landline telephone.

Kudo Shinichi stared intently at the wired phone, thinking seriously in his heart:

"The main unit of the wireless phone is placed here, and there is still a receiver with a wire.

It was a wireless handset last night, why? "

Dongfang Haoyue followed Kudo Shinichi's line of sight and found the wired phone.

Haoyue guessed thoughtfully in her heart:

"Judging by Shinichi's expression...

Could this landline be a clue?

but……

Why can't I see it at all...! "

At this time, Kudo Shinichi held orange juice in his right hand, and pointed to the wired phone with his left hand.

He looked at Masayoshi Sakaguchi and asked seriously:

"uncle.

Was it the handset of the cordless phone that was left there last night? "

"Ah."

Masayoshi Sakaguchi looked at Kudo Shinichi and calmly explained:

"I sometimes exchange the wired phone with the wireless phone in the study."

Masayoshi Sakaguchi paused for two seconds, and asked in confusion:

"What happened to that phone?"

"Ah ha ha!

Nothing~! "

Kudo Shinichi took a sip of orange juice with a smile on the surface, but actually thought firmly in his heart:

"Sure enough, it's Masayoshi Sakaguchi."

suddenly!

A series of bells rang!

It is the clock full of age in the living room!

Kudo Shinichi stared at the clock intently, thinking and recalling in his heart:

"I remember……

According to Sugita Sanae's recollection, when Maehara stepped up the steps with his phone, the clock also rang.

so……"

Two seconds later, Kudo Shinichi concluded solemnly in his heart:

"Mr. Sakaguchi incorporated the sound of the bell into part of the signal to give John the order to attack!"

Dongfang Haoyue stared intently at Kudo Shinichi, and asserted thoughtfully in her heart:

"Can't go wrong!!!

The truth must have something to do with the bells! !

Shinichi's expression said it all to me!

If I'm not mistaken, Masayoshi Sakaguchi must have included the bell as part of his revenge plan!

Very good, this time the case is estimated to be resolved smoothly~! "

After half an hour.

Maori Detective Agency.

Xiaolan stood in front of Kudo Shinichi, and curiously repeated:

"The phone receiver is different?"
