Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

Before Inspector Megure could say anything, several policemen climbed onto the cabinet as quickly as monkeys.

They stared at the nail in amazement. The bloodstain on the nail seemed to be the key clue to solving the mystery.

One of the policemen jumped off the cabinet as lightly as a grasshopper and landed very carefully for fear of touching other collections in the cabinet.

He could not hide his excitement and shouted to Officer Megure: "The presence of this nail is enough to prove that this lady was in a high place before her death. And her wound is on her leg, so she couldn't have committed suicide!"

After all, who would climb that high to hang themselves?

Moreover, there was a kicked-over stool beneath the dead woman, suggesting that the murderer attempted to create the illusion that she had kicked over the stool and then hanged herself.

However, the bloody nail revealed the truth - the lady could not have committed suicide.

How could a person who was determined to die and kicked over a stool to hang himself deliberately climb to a high place and scratch himself before hanging himself?

This is undoubtedly a carefully planned murder!

Inspector Megure stroked his chin, scanning the people around him with hawk-like eyes.

He was basically certain that the murderer must be hiding among this group of people.

After all, apart from outsiders like Mori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Kogoro, this group of people is the only one who might have committed the crime.

This judgment is not without basis. In previous cases, whenever detectives were involved, the murderer was often someone at the scene.

Although this law is somewhat bizarre, it has been proven to be effective on Kogoro Mori and others. This has also allowed many police officers who were not very capable to find certain methods and ideas for handling cases.

There is no doubt about Inspector Megure's ability, but when he can choose an easier way, he will naturally choose the one that is easier.

The apprentices felt that Inspector Megure seemed to be staring at them, and they all looked a little uncomfortable.

Even Inspector Megure was surprised and thought to himself: It is impossible that all three of you are the murderer. I am staring at you, why do all three of you look so unnatural?

Could it be possible that you are all murderers?

Inspector Megure's eyes suddenly became sharp, but at this moment, Matsumoto Akira spoke quickly, interrupting his thoughts.

"It's clear now. The broken neck and the messenger were in a high place in the cabinet before they died. So the deceased must have been placed here last night!"

Matsumoto Akira turned his head and looked at everyone, saying, "Last night, the last person who saw this young lady should be Mr. Seto Ryuichi! After all, it was you who sent the young lady back last night, and no one else has seen her since!"

Matsumoto Akira's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The eyes of everyone present were instantly focused on Seto Ryuichi, and his expression instantly became abnormal.

"Hey, you guys are not going to believe it, are you? Detective Maori hasn't even opened his mouth yet, and you think I'm the murderer just by listening to what he says?"

Cold sweat dripped down Seto Ryuichi's forehead. He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself down, and spoke to everyone in the calmest tone possible.

"I have to admit that my son-in-law's reasoning ability is comparable to mine!" Kogoro Mori spoke first and spoke for Matsumoto Akira.

This sentence made those in the know roll their eyes, thinking to themselves: What do you mean by reasoning ability is equal to yours? How can your reasoning ability compare to Matsumoto Akira!

Even Inspector Megure couldn't help rolling his eyes. He really couldn't understand why Kogoro Mouri's detective career was so prosperous nowadays.

You know, although when he was in the police academy, Kogoro Mouri was a famous outstanding student.

He is bold and resolute when making decisions, and his martial arts skills are also quite outstanding. Although he is not as good as those swordsmen, he is also outstanding in the field of pure martial arts.

However, as excellent as he is, he does not have the ability to solve cases.

If it is to deal with robbers and thieves, it is naturally a piece of cake.

But once it comes to solving a case, Kogoro Mouri will give other police officers some wrong ideas.

There are some cases that seem to be as it should be in some way in the eyes of other police officers, but after Kogoro Mouri arrives at the scene and analyzes the situation, he can convince many people that their previous guesses may be wrong.

But when the truth was finally revealed, it turned out that Maori Kogoro's guess was wrong. This kind of thing happened so many times that even his former boss found it incredible.

Moreover, Kogoro Mouri's abilities are obviously outstanding, and the various conditions and clues he combined when reasoning were seamless. It seemed that it was a perfect inference that as long as he followed this line, he would get the final result.

But the final result is always contrary to expectations. No matter how perfect the process is, the result is wrong.

But it has to be said that this is also a manifestation of ability. At least Kogoro Mouri's ability to grasp clues is still good.

There were many clues that the police were unable to find at first, but Kogoro Mouri could find them easily.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why he was able to flourish in the detective world after leaving the police force?

Is he really not suitable for the profession of police?

At this point, even the knowledgeable Inspector Megure had to make such a guess.

After all, how is it possible that a person performs mediocrely as a policeman, but after leaving the policeman and becoming a detective, he is like a genius and is able to solve many bizarre cases?

Inspector Megure shifted his gaze away from Kogoro Mori and stared closely at Ryuichi Seto. His expression was extremely serious, as if he wanted to see through the other person's eyes.

"You heard it too. Brother Matsumoto is Brother Maori's son-in-law. Brother Maori's abilities will naturally not be hidden from him!"

Although Inspector Megure is not aware of Kogoro Mori's specific secret to solving cases, he is still willing to cover for him.

"What's more, Brother Matsumoto's father is a policeman. Under the influence of this family environment, it's natural for him to understand these things!"

Guided by Inspector Megure's words, everyone's attention was once again focused on Seto Ryuichi.

In their view, it is normal for sons to inherit their father's business.

Since Matsumoto Akira's father is a policeman, there is a high probability that he will become a policeman in the future.

Growing up under the cultivation and training of his father, it is only natural for him to have such abilities, right?

Just like Kikuemon, his original son was also extremely talented in this area. If his son's heir had not died young, his apprentices would probably not have had the opportunity to inherit this title.

It was precisely because of the early death of the heir that Kikuemon selected the most talented among his disciples to inherit his mantle.

Although there are some coincidences involved, it must be said that the heir selected in this way is definitely outstanding in terms of talent, and at least will not disgrace the reputation of this name.
