Conan: Naruto

"The possibility of equipment malfunction in the standby module cannot be ruled out and..."

Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at Officer Megure calmly, and made a rigorous judgment:

"The staff in the control room deliberately manipulated the equipment and drowned Michiko Osawa."

During this period.

Kudo Shinichi, who was standing on the right side of Dongfang Haoyue, dragged Haoyue to the upper left side of the corpse's head.

They looked down at the body and were surprised to see...

The left knee of the corpse was covered with tape, and a lot of the makeup on the right cheek had fallen off.

"Ok?"

Officer Mumu stared at the tape intently, stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground, carefully tore off the tape, carefully observed the inside of the tape, and said in surprise:

"Ointment type tape to treat bruises?"

"Officer Megure, the makeup on the right cheek of the corpse has fallen off."

Mouri Kogoro half-knelt on the right side of Officer Megure, carefully observed the right cheek of the corpse, and calmly guessed:

"Probably the victim accidentally rubbed something before he drowned."

"Her knees were covered with ointment..."

Officer Memu held his chin with his right hand and made a reasonable guess:

"Did her knees hurt so much during the performance that it affected her swimming condition?"

"all in all."

Mouri Kogoro stood up, turned around and looked at the open door of the control room not far to the right rear, and arranged with a solemn expression:

"We need to conduct an investigation to find out more."

"you're right."

Officer Megure stood up, glanced at Moori Kogoro with approval, turned around, and took the lead in striding towards the control room.

The crowd followed.

--------

1 minutes later.

A control room filled with machinery and equipment.

Everyone gathered around two meters inside the door.

"After the actor enters the ready cabin and closes the entrance."

Lin Yaren sat on the iron office chair in front of the console, turned to the right, looked calmly at Officer Mumu on the right, pointed to the console, and told meticulously:

"The light bulb above will light up automatically."

Lin Yaren put down her left hand, looked at the display screen on the console, and stated solemnly:

"When we confirm everything is correct and press the switch to fill the water into the standby cabin, we can see through the display that the water in the standby cabin is [-]% filled.

Then, the water filling work will stop automatically. "

"The process you mentioned is still operating normally today?"

Mouri Kogoro stood half a meter in front of Lin Yaren's right, looking at Lin Yaren calmly.

"Correct."

Lin Yaren looked at Mouri Kogoro and said sincerely and firmly:

"Tonight, I and other staff were operating the relevant equipment here, and there was absolutely no error."

"Ah."

Officer Mumu stood on Lin Yaren's right, looked at Lin Yaren calmly, and confirmed rigorously:

"Did the victim often perform on stage with ointment on his knees?"

"She, she's wearing ointment?"

Lin Yaren was slightly stunned and looked at Officer Memu in surprise.

"to be exact."

Officer Mumu stared at Lin Yaren intently, and Gujing Wubo described:

"The ointment was applied to her left knee."

“In fact, she had an accident a long time ago and injured her left foot.

I remember......"

Lin Yaren held her hands in her arms and recalled seriously:

"She almost drowned during her performance last week."

"Did she say anything about knee pain today?"

Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Lin Yaren steadily.

"No."

Lin Yaren looked at Mouri Kogoro and explained sincerely:

“Had she told us ahead of time...she had pain in her knees.

I will stop the performance immediately without hesitation. "

Mouri Kogoro nodded slightly and was about to ask.

"But......"

Murakawa Yasuyuki stood on the right side of Mouri Kogoro, Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, with his hands spread out in front of his chest, palms facing each other, looking at Kogoro rationally, and said calmly:

"Ms. Michiko attaches great importance to professionalism and she will probably endure the pain to perform."

"So to say......"

Mouri Kogoro retracted his gaze from Yasuyuki Aikawa, lowered his head slightly, held his chin in the tiger's mouth of his right hand, looked down at the floor, and deduced calmly:

"The victim suffered from foot pain while waiting in the waiting cabin to perform on stage, so he unfortunately drowned."

"Ah."

Officer Megure nodded slightly, looked at Mouri Kogoro with approval, and agreed with reason:

"Although it is unlikely that such an accident would happen to someone who is a good swimmer, it is still a possibility."

"That said."

Mouri Kogoro looked at Officer Megure and suggested strictly:

"We still cannot rule out the possibility of an internal malfunction in the standby module. We must go and have a look to confirm that it is correct."

"makes sense."

Officer Memu turned around and walked towards the closed door, telling him without looking back:

"Mr. Lin, let's check the standby cabin now."

"Ok."

Lin Yaren calmly watched the backs of Officer Memu and Xiaolan's family drifting away.

Dongfang Haoyue walked, looking back and forth at Moori Kogoro and Megure, who were walking side by side half a meter in front of them. She covered her face with her hands in her heart and complained in utter embarrassment:

"Why are there no scenes between me and Shinichi at all? Detective Mori and Officer Megure's cooperation is so good!!!"

--------

After 17 seconds.

lounge.

"Takagi."

Officer Memu walked grandly into the open door of the lounge and looked steadily at Detective Takagi who was far ahead, leaning on the standby cabin and carefully inspecting the equipment.

Mumu stood half a meter outside the standby cabin and asked calmly:

"What's strange about the standby cabin?"

"There is no problem with waterproofing, and other equipment is also intact."

Detective Takagi described it calmly while inspecting:

“If the staff in the control room made no operational mistakes, theoretically speaking... there would be no problem in the standby module.

and......"

Detective Takagi turned to look at Officer Megure, pointing his left hand to the two red and blue buttons embedded in the iron wall at the lower left, and explained seriously:

"Even if the staff makes a mistake, Miss Michiko can start the drainage work with the button, wait for the white shell above to open, and swim into the glass cover by pouring the water in the standby cabin."

Detective Takagi paused for a second and made a reasonable guess:

"I think there was some reason why she couldn't turn on the drain switch."

"oh, I understand now."

Officer Memu stared at the button intently and nodded slightly thoughtfully.
