Conan: Naruto

"The eldest lady was sent back to her room by us, Nanao Granny is taking care of her."

Mifune Takuya was standing behind Masashi Mukuta on the right, looking at Kogoro Mori calmly.

"However...Miss Lihua hasn't woken up yet, and the telephone line of the villa has been cut off, so we can't call the police..."

Xiaolan, who took a few steps forward, stood not far in front of Masashi Mukuta, looking at Mori Kogoro not so calmly.

Kudo Shinichi was about to speak.

Dongfang Haoyue, who believed that this case was clear and simple, took control of Kogoro Mouri and analyzed it seriously:

"I understand.

Prisoners first put Miss Lihua, who had changed clothes and came down from the second floor, into a stupor with drugs, then moved Lihua into the bathtub in the bathroom, sealed her hands, feet and mouth with tape, and then turned on the faucet to turn on the water.

When the water level rose to a certain level, the prisoner put the shower head into the water and switched to the shower head to discharge water, so as to prevent the sound of water flow from being heard.

Next, Lihua naturally drowned as the water level rose higher and higher.

In addition, the prisoner destroyed the electric lights in advance to block people's sight, and determined the time of Lihua's death by adjusting the water outlet speed of the shower head, which logically created an alibi. "

"wrong."

Mifune Takuya questioned calmly:

The police were able to infer the crime time of the criminal through the water output speed of the shower head, so the criminal's alibi was not convincing. "

Dongfang Haoyue couldn't think of how to answer.

He decisively controlled Mori Kogoro to lower his head, his face completely hidden in the shadows.

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi explained in Kogoro's voice:

"It's simple.

One hour after Miss Lihua's death, the prisoner used excuses such as going to the bathroom to avoid other people's sight, and took the opportunity to reach the bathroom to carry Lihua out. "

"Bring out Lihua?"

Gojo Osamu looked at Kudo Shinichi in bewilderment.

Shinichi calmly analyzed:

"The prisoner lifted Miss Lihua out of the bathtub and pretended to be forced into the water surface of the bathtub to die. It is naturally difficult for the police to figure out how Lihua really died."

"I see."

Mifune Takuya also nodded, chuckled and changed the subject:

"I don't know if the eldest lady will turn herself in for the mistakes she committed after she wakes up?"

--------

It's a new day and the moon is shining brightly.

The living room on the third floor of Mori Kogoro's bedroom.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi walked into the living room side by side.

Haoyue walked towards Xiaolan on the front right, wiped her hair with a towel, and said with a smile:

"Sister Xiaolan, I kept you waiting~

There is no one in the bathroom, you can go take a shower~~~! "

"Haoyue, Conan~"

Xiaolan knelt on a cushion beside a rectangular wooden table, looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi who were standing on the other side of the wooden table, and asked with a smile:

"Tomorrow is Sunday, do you have any free time~?"

"Ah?"

Holding the towel in both hands, Dongfang Haoyue asked curiously:

"Sister Xiaolan, why do you ask this?"

Xiaolan explained seriously:

"A friend of my father called just now and invited us to have a barbecue in his yard at noon tomorrow."

"Barbecue?"

Dongfang Haoyue raised her hands high and cheered excitedly:

"Great!"

"One of my uncle's friends?"

Kudo Shinichi stood on the left of Dongfang Haoyue and looked curiously at Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro, who was sitting in front of Xiaolan on the right, looked at Shinichi, and said with a mature smile:

"That friend's name is Katsutoshi Teraoka.

When I was in the police academy, he was two grades higher than me, and he was a senior who took good care of me. "

Mori Kogoro paused for a second, then said with a smile:

"Now he has been promoted, and now he is the team leader of the fourth search section."

"I remember... Now the fourth search section is responsible for violent organizations!"

Kudo Shin nodded, happily agreed:

"I'm going tomorrow too!"

"Great!!!"

Dongfang Haoyue raised her hands high and cheered enthusiastically.

Kudo Shinichi held his chin with his right hand like a pistol, thinking calmly in his heart:

"The other party is the current team leader of the No. [-] Search Division. He will definitely hear a lot about the case tomorrow."

"In that case, I'll prepare something that may be used tomorrow."

Mori Kogoro stood up and walked straight to the door.

"Dad, I'll help you~"

Xiaolan quickly followed behind Mori Kogoro, and closed the living room door smoothly.

Seeing that they had all left, Dongfang Haoyue took Kudo Shinichi to sit on the tatami, looked at Xinyi, chatted with a smile and said:

"Unexpectedly, the savage lady yesterday finally chose to surrender herself!"

Kudo Shinichi regained his composure, looked at Dongfang Haoyue, and explained calmly:

"Yilong can be released from prison after at least a few years and at most ten years for the crime of attempted murder. Miss Lihua definitely doesn't want to face Yilong's revenge after he is released from prison."

"That's right~"

Dongfang Haoyue took out two game consoles hidden in her pajamas from her pajamas pocket, handed a game console to Kudo Shinichi, and suggested with a smile:

"While Xiaolan and the others are away, let's play online games for a while~~~!"

"But... it's getting late, we should go to bed..."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Dongfang Haoyue's dissatisfied and pitiful appearance, sighed helplessly, turned on the game console with a smile, and said dotingly:

"Just play for a while!"

"Uh-huh!!"

Dongfang Haoyue nodded cutely and happily turned on the game console.

--------

Katsutoshi Teraoka's villa courtyard.

The next day, noon.

"Hahahaha!"

Katsutoshi Teraoka stood on the lawn in the courtyard, looking down at the red slices of meat on the grill.

He turned the meat slices with a tool, and revealed with a smile:

"When you were in the police academy, you made a mess of reasoning cases, and everyone called you a confused Maori detective!

but......"

Katsutoshi Teraoka turned to look at Kogoro Mori, and praised sincerely:

"You are now a well-known detective!"

Katsutoshi Teraoka paused for a second, then joked with a smile:

"I have to say, I still can't believe that the confused police detective back then can become a well-known Maori detective today!"

"Hahaha, senior, there are still a few children here, so don't make fun of me.

Come come come! "

Mori Kogoro, who was holding a wine glass in his left hand and a little drunk on his face, looked at Katsutoshi Teraoka, handed out the bottle in his right hand, and said with a hearty smile:

"Let's drink!"
