Conan: Naruto

"okay."

Officer Megure was slightly startled, then looked calmly at Hattori Heiji, who was confident of winning, and agreed without too much hesitation.

Hattori carefully arranged:

"Please send someone to remove the body, and then sit on the office chair yourself."

after a while.

Officer Memu sat as steady as a rock in the office chair behind the desk.

He supported the desk with his right elbow and supported his chin with the back of his hand. He looked numbly at Hattori Heiji, who was [-] meters in front of him, without saying a word.

"The study has no windows."

Hattori Heiji, who was standing in his original position, facing the door sideways, put his left hand in his pocket, pointed his right hand at the open door not far to the right, and calmly looked at the people gathered in the corner on the right side of the door.

Hattori analyzed calmly:

“That door was the only entrance and exit but was locked, causing the study to become a secret room.

In addition, the study door has two sets of keys. "

Hattori Heiji looked at the calm-looking Tsujimura Kimie who was one meter in front of him on the left, and narrated solemnly:

"A pair of keys was in the hands of Ms. Gongjiang elsewhere at the time of the crime."

Hattori Heiji raised his left thumb and placed it in front of his left shoulder, pointing his fingertips at Officer Megure, who was not far to the left. He looked at Megure to the left and elaborated:

"The other key was in the pocket of Isao Tsujimura's pants who died in that posture."

Hattori Heiji locked his eyes on the people in front of him and asserted sharply:

"To sum up, this murder case is a complete secret room murder!"

Hattori Heiji paused for a second, lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes, and chuckled:

"However...it seems that there is a gap in the completely enclosed study."

"Gap?"

Mouri Kogoro stood half a meter to the left of the Tsujimura River and looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise.

Hattori Heiji suddenly opened his eyes, looked to the right at the door, pointed at the door with his hand, and said with certainty:

"It's the gap under the door!"

"Hey, that's not right!"

Mouri Kogoro looked at Hattori Heiji with slightly narrowed eyes, and complained angrily:

"Based on the narrow gap under the door, do you think the prisoner could have thrown the key into the deceased's pants pocket?"

Mouri Kogoro spread his hands straight to the left and right sides and showed exaggeratedly:

"The distance between the deceased and the gate is so far!"

"Of course it can be done."

Hattori Heiji took out the fishing line and silver needle and placed them in front of his right face, and explained calmly:

"Just use Scotch tape and this... fishing line with a silver needle that I just found."

On the other side, the room on the left at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

"Ugh......"

Kudo Shinichi, who was lying in his original position, listened to the sound of the glasses transmitting sound waves to resonate to the eardrum, and glanced at the closed door of the room farther to the left with a speechless face.

He sighed softly and said helplessly:

"Hattori fell into the trap set by the criminal without thinking deeply. It seems that after I change back to my original self, I must come forward to reveal the truth, otherwise the police will arrest the wrong person..."

"Eh?"

Dongfang Haoyue, who was sitting in his original position, looked at Kudou Shinichi in surprise, and guessed in confusion:

"Could it be that...the fishing line and silver needle found by Hattori were false evidence that the prisoner deliberately left somewhere?"

"Yeah, I guess the prisoner hid fishing lines tied with silver needles in many places, just so that someone could find false evidence and cover up the real crime."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Dongfang Haoyue melancholy, and said firmly without thinking:

"If we search this villa carefully, we should be able to find several fishing lines and silver needles."

"Well... when Shinichi changes back to his original self, we will find the extra fishing line and silver needles as evidence to refute Hattori~"

Dongfang Haoyue arranged the follow-up affairs seriously, and speculated with a smile:

"As long as Hattori Heiji goes through this failed reasoning, he should learn a lesson and become more cautious."

At the same time, in the study.

"So......"

Hattori Heiji was half-kneeling behind the desk, holding the fishing line and silver needle in his right hand in front of his right shoulder. His left forearm rested on his thigh that was not touching the ground, and he held Tsujimura Isao's keys and key ring in his palm.

He looked down at Officer Megu, who was lying on the ground in front of him with a numb face, and calmly analyzed:

"The prisoner first stabbed Isao Tsujimura to death with a poisonous needle, and then took the key from Isao Tsujimura's pants pocket."

Hattori Heiji looked at the key ring, moved the cover of the key ring to the left with his left thumb, and picked up the transparent tape inside the key ring with his right hand.

He pressed the other end of the fishing line without the silver needle in the middle under the tape, glued the transparent tape back on, closed the lid, and spoke rigorously:

“The prisoner prepared a fishing line with a silver needle tied to one end in advance, and used transparent tape to fix the other end of the fishing line inside the key ring.

Next... watch my movements. "

Hattori Heiji put the keys and key ring in his pants pocket, held the silver needle in his right hand, stood up, and walked calmly to Officer Megure's right leg.

Hattori half-knelt on the ground, looked down at Megure's right pants pocket, inserted the silver needle into the sandwich pocket inside the pocket, pierced the sandwich pocket mercilessly, and released the silver needle.

Hattori Heiji took out his right hand, pinched the exposed silver needle and pulled it to the right front of his right shoulder. He released the silver needle and let it fall to the floor in accordance with gravity, and stood up neatly.

He bent over and looked at Officer Memu, who was playing the role of a corpse but was a little embarrassed. While helping Memu sit on the office chair, he told him calmly:

"After the prisoner pulled out the silver needle like me, he supported the deceased on the office chair and held the chin with the back of his right hand."

After hearing this, Officer Memu supported the desk with his right elbow and supported his chin with the back of his hand without saying a word. He was extremely cooperative.

Hattori Heiji nodded with satisfaction, took out the key with his left hand, and held the silver needle in his right hand. He walked unhurriedly to the desk, and crossed the fishing line connecting the key and the silver needle above the desk.

He walked backwards to a point [-] meters outside the open door, stooped down and put down the key and silver needle on the corridor, and closed the door so that it was above the fishing line.

Hattori Heiji picked up the key and the silver needle with both hands, held the key in his right hand and locked the door, put it back in place, and straightened up.

He repeatedly pulled the end of the fishing line with a silver needle with his left hand. In order to prevent everyone in the study from hearing clearly, he spoke loudly without any doubt:

"The prisoner pulled the key and silver needle at both ends of the fishing line to the floor outside the door, closed the door, and picked them up calmly.

Then, the prisoner used the key to lock the door, put it back on the floor, and kept pulling the end of the fishing line with a silver needle, causing the key to pass through the crack in the door, climb up the desk, and get into the deceased's pocket. "

On the other side, in the study.

Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro, who was standing half a meter to the left of Megure, were extremely surprised as they watched the key and key ring slide across the mahogany floor and go straight to Megure.

They found that the key was hung up on the desk by a fishing line, slid across the table, fell to the outside of Memu's right pants pocket, and slipped into the pocket leisurely.

Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro's pupils dilated, and they said in incredible shock:

"Did the keys and key ring really go into the pocket!?"
