Conan: Naruto

"The prisoner cut off the pennant with a sharp weapon, leaving a cut mark extending from the left side of the pennant to the middle of the pennant.

but......"

Mori Kogoro held the upper right end of the pennant with his right hand, so that the pennant hanging on the ground was fully displayed in front of everyone.

Kogoro observed the pennant carefully, and analyzed calmly:

"The top-to-bottom cut of the pennant is only about 1.8 meters high.

Obviously, the limit height for the prisoner to raise the murder weapon to touch is 1.8 meters.

In other words, the prisoner was less than 1.6 meters tall.

And...the prisoner is most likely left-handed. "

"what?"

Everyone present looked at Kogoro Mori in surprise.

The director standing in front of Dongfang Haoyue on the left regained his composure, and asked in bewilderment:

"Maori detective, why might the prisoner be left-handed?"

"Obvious."

Mori Kogoro looked at the director, and calmly analyzed:

"Judging from the cut marks left by the prisoner...the prisoner cut the pennant from left to right, and some accident happened halfway through the cut, and he was forced to stop destroying the pennant.

Moreover, the flagpole of the pennant is fixed to the floor, and the rear is a wooden cabinet. The prisoner should stand in front of the pennant naturally.

In summary.

The prisoner stood in front of the pennant, picked up the pennant with his right hand, and stabbed the pennant with his left hand to the bottom with the murder weapon.

Since the prisoner uses his left hand to hold the murder weapon, there is a high probability that the prisoner is left-handed.

in addition. "

Mori Kogoro looked around and said in a steady voice:

"Except for the transom windows for ventilation, all the windows in the office are closed.

As a result, prisoners can only enter and exit through the office door. "

Mori Kogoro looked at the director and asked calmly:

"Director, when was the last time you saw the pennant intact?"

"Before the game starts."

The director replied firmly:

"Our baseball club is used to entering the chairman's office to watch the pennant before the game starts to boost morale."

"So... After that, the pennant was vandalized."

Mori Kogoro looked at the principal on the left of the director, and calmly confirmed:

"Mr. Principal, may I ask..."

"It was me, I destroyed the pennant."

The principal bowed his head deeply, feeling guilty.

"what?!"

Everyone looked at the principal in shock.

"what?

You confessed? ? ? "

Mori Kogoro looked at the principal with an explosive mentality, quickly came back to his senses, and complained extremely speechlessly:

"I just want to ask, is the dormitory building only accessible through the main entrance..."

"Detective Maori, your reasoning ability is well-deserved, I am impressed."

The principal looked at the cold mahogany floor and said with shame:

"Under your aura, I can't hide it at all...

If you continue to ask, I think... I will show my feet soon, and you will expose my identity as a prisoner on the spot. "

"There is no reasoning at all in such an obvious case..."

Mori Kogoro couldn't feel the sense of accomplishment in solving the case, and looked at the principal expressionlessly.

Dongfang Haoyue looked at the principal, put one hand on her forehead, and complained frantically in her heart:

"The prisoner with the worst mental quality in history, hey!!

The school plot designed by the screenwriter is so perfunctory! ! ! "

Kudo Shinichi stood on the right side of Dongfang Haoyue, looked at the principal with a smile, and thought optimistically:

"Today, I still don't need to reason in place of the Maori detective. It saves time and effort. It's great~~~!"

"It's not just that your aura is too scary..."

The principal shook his head slowly, and explained sadly:

"There is only one main entrance to the residence hall, and...

With so many spectators on the field, someone must have seen me, the director, Kaji, Eto, and Kaji's mother, Mie Kaji, enter the dormitory during the competition.

Among them, people who meet the height of less than 1.6 meters and are left-handed... except me, there will be no one else. "

Dongfang Haoyue looked at the middle-aged woman in the crowd who had appeared outside the playground fence earlier, and suddenly realized:

"So she is Kaji's mother, Kaji Mie.

But... why did Ms. Meihui enter the dormitory building? "

"Cough, you can argue that the inmates sneaked into the building through windows on other floors at the back of the dormitory building, went straight to the chairman's office, and destroyed the pennant in one fell swoop."

Mori Kogoro scratched his head and looked at the principal in embarrassment.

"Ah...it can still be like this..."

The headmaster was stunned for a moment, speechless for a moment.

"Principal, I thought it was my mother who broke the pennant, but who would have thought it was you."

Xiao Kaji stood behind Dongfang Haoyue on the left, looked at the principal, and asked incomprehensibly:

"I don't understand, why are you doing this?"

"Ugh......"

The headmaster sighed, and recounted in a sense of loss:

"During the competition, I entered the dormitory building and took away the spare key of the chairman's office, which was stored in the dormitory management room on the first floor.

Next, I entered the chairman's office and was about to destroy the pennant with a box knife when I heard Ms. Meihui's footsteps.

I hurriedly hid behind the desk, and heard Meihui talking to herself...

I hope that Xiao Kaji will become a doctor like Xiao Kaji's father, and I want to ask the chairman to persuade Xiao Kaji to give up baseball, and even want the school to withdraw from the baseball league next week.

When Mei Hui left the office, I stood in front of the pennant and hesitated for a moment, and finally cut the pennant cruelly.

Who ever wanted to cut half, I heard your footsteps again.

I hid behind my desk again and heard you talking to yourself...

Did...Did Mom destroy the pennant...? "

"During the game, I saw my mother appearing in the window of the chairman's office, and I came to check the situation in a hurry.

As you said, I thought Mommy broke the pennant until just now.

but......

You heard what my mother said, so you vandalized the pennant and quit baseball in the name of apology? "

Xiao Kaji looked at the principal in astonishment.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing at the right back of Dongfang Haoyue, looked at Xiao Kaji, suddenly realized and muttered to himself:

"So it turns out that Xiao Kaji's mother influenced Xiao Kaji's baseball level at that time..."

The headmaster raised his head, turned around to look at Xiao Kaji, and tried his best to explain calmly:

"While I do want to fix high school out of baseball, the main reason isn't on you."

The principal sighed deeply, looked at everyone present one by one, and stated in frustration:

"The director wanted to come to the school today and announce on the spot that Xiuxiu High School will withdraw from next week's baseball league.

But he suddenly felt unwell, went to the hospital instead, and asked me to announce the matter on the phone.

I don’t want people in the society to criticize Xiuhao High School for disregarding students’ dreams and insisting on preventing students from participating in the competition. After much deliberation, I finally made a decision...

Destroy the pennant and use apology as a reason to terminate the competition justifiably. "

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze, and everyone fell silent.

Dongfang Haoyue turned to look at the crowd, and said with emotion in her heart:

"It's good that no one died in this plot...It's a pity that the dreams of many students in the high school baseball club were shattered.

Although many parents want their children to study hard, looking at the problem from the perspective of the children...

Your own dreams are the most important thing.

So... between learning and dreaming, which is more important?

I can't tell, I don't know..."

suddenly!
