Conan: Naruto

"In my opinion, investigating missing bodies should be the first priority."

Kudo Shinichi held his chin with his right hand, and asserted in a deep voice:

"Perhaps... no one was killed in that empty room at all... everything is a trick of the prisoner."

"But... why did the prisoner set up a blindfold?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Kudo Shinichi, and secretly complained:

"It's not like playing tricks on Uncle on purpose!"

"tease......"

Kudo Shinichi nodded thoughtfully, dragged Dongfang Haoyue to the door, and calmly arranged:

"All in all, let's go to the field to investigate first."

--------

The empty room opposite the window of Mori Kogoro's ward.

Kudo Shinichi and Dongfang Haoyue stepped in, walked one meter inside the window, looked down at the floor, and found that the floor inside the window was stained with a lot of water.

"I remember it rained today."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at the water marks thoughtfully.

"Ah."

Kudo Shinichi stood on Dongfang Haoyue's left, looked at Haoyue, and analyzed calmly:

"It means that when the Maori detective witnessed the murder, the windows in the empty house were not closed."

Kudo Shinichi paused for a second, and calmly asked:

"Haoyue lifted me up and let me look out of the window."

"Good~"

Dongfang Haoyue skillfully knelt down, hugged Kudo Shin's thigh from behind, lifted it high, and leaned out of the window.

Shinichi looked around the window, and said calmly:

"Uncle's ward on the seventh floor is opposite the vacant room, and..."

Kudo Shinichi turned his head to look at the third building connecting the two buildings on the left, locked his eyes on a room on the fourth floor, found that it was full of sundries, and narrated thoughtfully:

"There are no curtains in the warehouse on the fourth floor of that building... Could it be..."

Kudo Shinichi thought for a while, then had a flash of inspiration, and said suddenly:

"I understand!"

"Understand what~?"

Dongfang Haoyue gently put down Kudo Shinichi, and looked at him curiously.

Xinyi looked at Haoyue and reasoned calmly:

"If you turn on the light in that warehouse at night, and adjust the angle of the windows between the warehouse and the empty room, you can reflect the images in the warehouse to the windows of the empty room."

"In other words... the murder scene seen by Māori detectives was a warehouse rather than a vacant house."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Kudo Shinichi suddenly realized.

"Come on, let's go to the warehouse."

Kudo Shinichi dragged Dongfang Haoyue out of the empty room involuntarily, and closed the door smoothly.

--------

storehouse.

Kudo Shinichi and Dongfang Haoyue stepped in, searched everywhere, and found...

A dummy for first aid training.

"The prisoner used a dummy to act..."

Dongfang Haoyue looked down at the dummy with a confused face.

"The criminal is laying the groundwork for the real murder plan."

Kudo Shinichi, who was standing on Dongfang Haoyue's right, looked at the dummy and calmly analyzed:

"If I'm not wrong, the criminal must want to blame the Maori detective for the murder."

"what?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Kudo Shinichi, and asked in bewilderment:

"How to blame?"

"It's simple."

Kudo Shinichi reasoned calmly:

The prisoner only needs to repeatedly use the dummy to act to make the Maori detective call the police, and wait until the Maori detective has a mental breakdown and doubts about life, and then actually kills someone.

In this way, the Maori detective who rushed to the scene of the crime at the first time but was knocked unconscious by the prisoner must be suspected by everyone. "

"Oh~~~"

Dongfang Haoyue seriously sought advice and said:

"Next... shall we expose the prisoner's plan in public?"

"Do not.

We're going to have a Maori detective play a scene with a prisoner. "

The corner of Kudo Shinichi's mouth curled into an arc, and he explained calmly:

"The law cannot convict a criminal who acts in a play, even if he is exposed on the spot, it can only temporarily stop the criminal's murder plan.

If we want to protect someone from being killed by an inmate in the future, we have to prove that the inmate tried to kill and send him to prison. "

"Shinichi means..."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Kudo Shinichi thoughtfully.

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi's face was full of confidence.

--------

three days later.

Mori Kogoro's ward.

Xiaolan stood on the right side of the hospital bed, looked worriedly at Kogoro lying on the bed with a gloomy complexion, and said melancholy:

"Dad called the police four times in a row... What happened..."

Kogoro Mori, who was wearing a hospital gown and resting his head on a white pillow, closed his eyes and murmured helplessly:

"I'm not lying... I really saw... saw..."

"In my opinion, Maori detectives deal with many crimes every day, and the mental pressure they face is far beyond ordinary people."

Mitsuo Shirai sat on the small bench on the left side of the hospital bed, looked at Xiaolan and then at Mori Kogoro, and speculated heavily:

"Maybe he's hallucinating..."

"Do not!!!"

Mori Kogoro sat up in shock from his dying illness, looked at Mitsuo Shirai at close range, and defended hysterically:

"What I saw was definitely not a hallucination!!

Absolutely not! ! ! "

"Dad, calm down..."

Xiaolan quickly walked to the right side of Maori Kogoro, bent over, stretched out her hands to hold Kogoro's shoulders and pressed back to the hospital bed, and said anxiously and sadly:

"Dad...what's the matter with you..."

"The Maori detective's acting skills are really good..."

Dongfang Haoyue, who was standing at the end of the bed, clung to the ear of Kudo Shinichi on the right, and said firmly in a very low voice:

"He's definitely acting too!"

"Not necessarily...he might be really stupid..."

Kudo Shinichi stuck to Dongfang Haoyue's ear, and looked at Mori Kogoro with slightly narrowed eyes.

Eleven thirty in the evening.

"Tonight, we will stay in the ward to take care of uncle~!"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, who turned on the camera secretly, stood on the right side of the hospital bed, leaned forward, supported their elbows on the bed, and looked at Kogoro Mori's mature and handsome face full of melancholy with a smile.

"Haha, your relationship is really good~"

Mitsuo Shirai smiled and picked up the red alarm clock on the wooden cabinet on the left side of the bed, secretly set the alarm clock, and quietly put it back on the table.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi straightened up at the same time, and the camera with their coat pockets facing upwards accurately captured this scene.

Mitsuo Shirai looked at Kogoro Mori, pointed to the medicine on the wooden cabinet with his right hand, and said gently:

"Detective Maori, you can rest after drinking the medicine here."

Before the words were finished, Mitsuo Shirai turned around and walked to the window, opened the curtains significantly, looked at the rainy scene outside the window, and said in surprise:

"Oh, it's raining so hard!"

In the next second, Mitsuo Shirai turned to look at Kogoro Mori, and said goodbye with a smile:

"Detective Maori, I will take my leave first."
