Conan: Naruto

Dongfang Haoyue controlled Mouri Kogoro to stop in front of the sofa, turned around, and sat down in front of Haoyue's feet lying on the sofa as he pleased.

Finally, Kogoro lowered his head, closed his eyes, and his face was completely hidden in the shadows.

Everyone looked at Mouri Kogoro in silence, feeling deeply confused for a moment and completely unable to understand why Kogoro insisted on sleeping.

During this period, Kudo Shinichi sat on the floor behind the sofa, leaning his back against the back of the sofa, and slowly adjusted the bowknot voice changer.

He explained matter-of-factly in the voice of Mouri Kogoro:

"The death message left by the deceased has already told us the truth."

"Death message!?"

Everyone opened their lips slightly and looked at Mouri Kogoro in great surprise.

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi analyzed indifferently:

"The dying Dashan will deliberately use the blood-stained tablecloth and lighter on the wooden table in front of you to form a key pattern to accurately identify the prisoner.

Moreover, in order for you to be able to read the message of his death, Dashan will lean on the wooden cabinet before dying to support his body and ensure that his kneeling posture will not change. "

"Posture, tablecloth, lighter?"

Everyone looked at Oyama Shogun and then at the tablecloth in surprise, still not understanding what Kudo Shinichi meant.

"Think carefully about the names of your five doctors... Tobita Ginji, Ekaku Kaho, Nakahara Kaori, Oyama Sho and Kanazawa Tomoyasu."

Kudo Shinichi calmly reminded:

"What these names have in common."

"S-Shogi?!"

Everyone thought for a moment and looked at Mouri Kogoro in disbelief.

After hearing this, Dongfang Haoyue suddenly realized in the spiritual world and concluded:

"I see, their names correspond to the shogi pieces similar to the Eastern Kingdom chess.

The Oyama general corresponds to the king general, Kanazawa Tomoyasu corresponds to the golden general, Tobita Ginji corresponds to the flying chariot and silver general, Ekaku Kaho corresponds to the kakugo and infantry, and Nakahara Kaori corresponds to the fragrant chariot!

So...the tablecloth on the table symbolizes..."

"Correct."

Kudo Shinichi calmly concluded:

“The victim arranged the tablecloth in a nine-by-nine format and deliberately kneeled down to remind us of shogi.

What's fitting is that...all of your names contain characters that symbolize shogi pieces. "

"Ah, Mr. Oyama often said that!"

Jiang Jiao Guobu recalled with excitement:

"He said...just one more horse and everything will be ready!"

"Ah."

Kudo Shinichi chuckled and agreed:

"Your name really cannot refer to the chess piece named Keima."

Dongfang Haoyue was slightly startled, and complained dumbly in the spiritual world:

"No wonder the mountains will seem a little sorry to hear our names... It turns out that there is no horse in our name..."

"Then...the prisoner is..."

Tobita Ginji stared at the lighter in the corner of the tablecloth. After thinking about it for a moment, he had a flash of inspiration and was horrified.

Kanazawa Tomoyasu stared at the lighter closely and murmured in disbelief:

"Fragrant car..."

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi Furui Wubo revealed:

"The lighter represents the initial position of the incense car on the chessboard, which means that the death message of the general Dashan points to...

Kaori Nakahara!

The criminal is you! ! "

As Kudo Shinichi spoke, he changed the subject and became solemn.

Dongfang Haoyue raised her head just in time, opened her eyes suddenly, stretched out her right hand and pointed at Kaori Nakahara, who was trembling slightly, and stared at Kaori like an eagle.

"Kaori..."

Everyone turned to look at Kaori, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"and many more!"

Nakahara Kaori stopped trembling, regained her composure, looked at each other with Mouri Kogoro without any panic, and retorted sharply, hitting the pain point:

"How can you say that it wasn't the real criminal who framed me?!"

"Hahaha."

Dongfang Haoyue, who didn't know how to defend himself at all, pretended to be confident and laughed three times, lowered his head and closed his eyes at the right time.

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro's handsome face returned to the embrace of the shadows.

Kudo Shinichi said cooperatively and solemnly:

"In that case, we'll find out once we ask."

"You'll know just by asking?"

Everyone looked at Kogoro Mori in bewilderment.

Kudo Shinichi reasoned seriously:

"The time Dashan will watch TV is nine o'clock in the evening. The time Haoyue and Conan find the body is ten ten o'clock in the evening. It will take about 5 minutes for the criminals to sneak into the house and tie up Dashan.

To sum up, between nine o'clock and ten o'clock tonight, the prisoner brutally killed General Da Shan.

However... Ms. Kaori left the villa and went to the convenience store to purchase items at 58:[-] pm, and returned to the villa at [-]:[-] pm.

According to our itinerary when going up the mountain, it takes about five and 10 minutes to get to and from the villa to the convenience store at the bottom of the mountain.

Theoretically speaking, Miss Kaori did not have the time to commit the crime.

That's assuming...she actually went to that store. "

"Do you suspect that I didn't go to the convenience store at all, but took the opportunity to kill Teacher Dashan?"

Kaori Nakahara clenched her hands into fists and placed them on both sides of her chest, questioning with sharp words:

"Except for salad and ice cream, I bought everything you asked for, just like what you put on the list!"

"I told you, you will know as soon as you ask."

Kudo Shinichi said indifferently:

"You're a beautiful lady who went on a shopping spree before the convenience store closed. I think... whether it's the clerk or the store manager, they will be impressed by your presence."

"I......"

Nakahara Kaori put down her hands dejectedly and was speechless for a moment.

"I see."

Tobita Ginji withdrew his gaze from Nakahara Kaori, looked at Mouri Kogoro cautiously, and analyzed rationally:

"At nine o'clock tonight, if Kaori really went to the convenience store, then the employees or store manager in the store would definitely remember her.

If the employee or store manager proves that Kaori has not been to the convenience store tonight, it means that Kaori deliberately forged an alibi and successfully committed the murder. "

"exactly."

Kudo Shinichi reasoned calmly:

"This afternoon, Ms. Kaori drove to a convenience store to purchase materials for hot pot cooking, and bought many snacks to put in the car.

At 58:[-] tonight, just before Oyama was about to watch the TV series, Kaori seemed to be driving a car to help people with their purchases, but in fact, she stopped the car somewhere.

Kaori selected the many snacks prepared in advance according to the shopping list, pretended that she had really gone down the mountain to shop, and then ran outside the window of the professor's room.

Because she knew Dashan would be watching TV and would easily miss small movements, she taped the window glass to reduce the sound of sharp objects poking the glass.

Next, Kaori sneaked into the house, first hit the general on the head to cause him to faint briefly, then tied up the general with quick hands and feet, and then stabbed the kitchen knife into the back of the chest.

In the end, Kaori returned the same way, took out the shopping bag filled with snacks from the car, and walked up to us pretending that nothing happened. "
