Conan: Naruto

"oh, I understand now."

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

During this period.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi knelt half-kneeling outside the door of the standby cabin while holding their breath. They carefully observed the standby cabin and discovered...

The iron floor of the standby cabin was stained with white powder.

at the same time.

Mouri Kogoro stood quietly in the middle behind Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, blocking part of Officer Megure's sight. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at the white powder condescendingly.

"This is......?"

Detective Takagi, who was wearing police gloves, looked at the gazes of the three people in front of him, half-kneeling on the ground, pointing his index finger at the white powder, observing carefully, and said in surprise and confusion:

"It looks like cosmetics...how did it appear on the floor of the ready cabin?"

"The answer is obvious."

Mouri Kogoro looked at Detective Takagi calmly, and Furui Mubo reasoned:

“Someone knocked the victim unconscious and then made her lie on the floor of the standby cabin.

As a result, the victim's head naturally tilted to the right, with his cheek touching the ground, leaving traces of cosmetic powder. "

"what?!"

Officer Megure rushed to the right of Kogoro Mori, lowered his head and glanced at the white powder, looked at Kogoro solemnly, and confirmed solemnly:

"Brother Maori, are you serious about this?"

"pretty close."

Mouri Kogoro calmly looked at Officer Megure and carefully elaborated:

"Although no laboratory comparison has been conducted yet, as long as the white powder is consistent with the incomplete part of the right cheek of the corpse, it can basically prove my reasoning."

"Takagi, please ask the forensic personnel to come for testing immediately."

Officer Megure looked at Detective Takagi sternly and solemnly ordered:

"Be sure to confirm whether the white powder on the floor belongs to the mutilated part of the right cheek of the corpse."

"Yes!"

Detective Takagi looked at Officer Megure steadily, saluted and lowered his right hand, rushed to the open door with short steps, and closed the door smoothly.

"But then again."

Officer Megure looked at Kogoro Mori and reminded him sternly:

"We cannot rule out the possibility that the victim knelt on the ground for a massage because of pain in his feet, and water flowed into the waiting cabin, causing him to become unstable and fall to the ground."

"Well, you're right."

Mouri Kogoro glanced at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, who turned towards him and had confused colors on their handsome faces. He looked at Officer Megure calmly and calmly arranged:

"Next, let's go take a look at the dressing room. The things there may confirm my reasoning."

"it is good."

Officer Memu nodded slightly, turned around 180 degrees, and took the lead in walking towards the closed door with steady steps.

Mori Kogoro followed closely behind.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudou Shinichi were stunned, looking at each other for a moment, and then whispered in confusion:

"The Maori detective in the early morning hours... seems to be a different person. His reasoning is flawless and he doesn't need any prompting from us..."

suddenly!

"Let's go, little devils!"

Mouri Kogoro stood in the open door, with his back to the door, holding the door handle with his left hand, looking at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi angrily, and complained unhappily:

"I encountered five murder cases in a row. Even a detective would feel depressed about the misfortune of the deceased, let alone me who is famous all over the world."

"Ah... he seems to have heard our complaints..."

Dongfang Haoyue leaned into Kudo Shinichi's ear and whispered timidly.

"Well, his hearing isn't any weaker than his eyesight."

Kudo Shinichi nodded without thinking, held Dongfang Haoyue's head straight with his right hand, put his mouth to Haoyue's ear, and whispered in a slightly embarrassed voice:

"I remember when we first solved the kidnapping case of Tani Akiko, his hearing was very sensitive, and we were shocked at the time."

Dongfang Haoyue nodded repeatedly, about to agree.

"Hey!!"

After confirming that Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi had finished whispering, Mouri Kogoro looked at them with narrowed eyes and urged impatiently:

"You brat, what are you still saying there? Come here quickly!"

"Come, come!!"

Dongfang Haoyue responded hastily, and hurriedly dragged Kudo Shinichi and ran towards Moori Kogoro, who was speechless.

--------

After five seconds.

In the empty corridor.

"Come to think of it, what Detective Mori just said... feels dull for the misfortune of the deceased."

Dongfang Haoyue dragged Kudo Shinichi and walked slowly along the corridor, secretly observing Kogoro Mori and Officer Megure walking side by side one meter in front, and speculated in a low voice:

"He plans to use his true strength to solve this murder case, seek justice for the deceased, and clear away the dull mood."

"The real strength..."

Kudo Shinichi walked on the right side of Dongfang Haoyue, with his hands behind his head, looking calmly at the back of Mouri Kogoro, and said softly with relief:

"If he is willing to solve the case seriously, it will be much easier for us."

"Hey, Shinichi."

Dongfang Haoyue pressed close to Kudo Shinichi's ear, rubbing her lips against Shinichi's ear as she walked, smiling and teasing in a low voice:

"Although there is only one truth, the speed of solving the case varies!"

"what?"

Kudo Shinichi made a surprised sound.

He felt the tickling sensation coming from his ears to his mind, his pretty face turned red, and he suppressed the rising shyness in his heart, and guessed in a serious voice:

"Haoyue wants me to compare the speed of solving this murder case with Detective Maori?"

"Of course, let's see who is better!"

Dongfang Haoyue retracted his head and looked at Kudo Shinichi with a smile on his face.

Shinichi held his hands in his arms, looked at Haoyue confidently, and asserted in a arrogant voice:

"Needless to say, of course I am the most powerful!"

"Hey, they entered the dressing room."

From the corner of Dongfang Haoyue's eyes, he suddenly noticed that Officer Memu stopped outside the door of the dressing room, turned the door handle with his right hand, pushed the door open, and stepped in. He quickly dragged Kudo Shinichi, who was determined to win, and chased after him.

--------

After six seconds.

powder room.

"Okay, I have a general understanding of the situation."

Mouri Kogoro stepped into the open door and stood inside. He casually glanced at the many cosmetics and makeup tools placed in a messy state on the dressing table not far to the left, and locked his eyes for half a second... ...

A square piece of transparent plastic paper located on the edge of the dressing table.

Mouri Kogoro looked at Officer Megure who suddenly froze on his left, and calmly arranged:

"Officer Megure, I heard that one of the four detectives you sent placed two major suspects in the storage room, right?"

"Ah... yes."

Officer Megure looked at Mouri Kogoro blankly, and tried his best to speak calmly:

“Because the detective controlled the actions of the backstage staff immediately after the incident and confirmed that Yasuyuki Murakoko and Yuriko Minegishi lacked alibi, they were temporarily placed in the storage room.

After learning about this, I arranged for two police officers to observe the suspect's every move in the storage room. "
