Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Afterwards, Inspector Megure also questioned Hideshima Yumi and Aburaya Naoya.

"No, I was reading in the bedroom at that time, how could there be someone there?" Hideshima Yumi spread her hands and said.

"What about you?" Officer Megure then looked at Aburaya Naoya and asked, "What were you doing there three hours ago?"

"Me." Aburaya Naoya looked embarrassed, scratched the back of his head and said, "At that time, I was about to discuss the future performances with the person in charge of the commercial performance. After all, In Hye was not here for the time being, so we were missing a guitarist."

"You've canceled all future performances?!" Yusuke Kamiki looked at Naoya Aburaya with a somewhat unhappy expression and said.

After all, their club’s funds are earned from this performance.

"No." Naoya Aburaya shook his head and continued, "It was just postponed for a week. Fortunately, the person in charge has cooperated with us many times and is willing to give us this opportunity."

"That's good." Yusuke Kamiki sighed.

"Can anyone give you proof of this?" Inspector Megure said to Naoya Aburaya with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Yes, it's that person in charge. The place where we will discuss is in a coffee shop downstairs from me." Naoya Aburaya took out a piece of paper from his pocket with the name and phone number of the person in charge written on it.

Then he handed it to Inspector Megure.

Officer Megure took it and looked at it, and saw that there was indeed a name and a series of phone numbers written on it.

After making the call, Inspector Megure asked some questions and then had his men go into the coffee shop to check the surveillance or ask the owner.

In the end, it was concluded that Naoya Aburaya did have an alibi.

Then there is also the possibility that it is a vendetta, Inspector Megure also asked the three people in front of him.

Yusuke Kamiki and Naoya Aburaya looked at Hideshima Yumi at the same time.

Hideshima Yumi tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "Why are you all looking at me? I just don't like him. I don't really want to kill him."

Kamiki Yusuke stared at Hideshima Yumi and said, "Really? When you were in school, you were the one who was most dissatisfied with your teacher."

"What are you yelling about? If I have the chance, I will definitely kick this idiot out of this school. If it doesn't work, it would be better if he dies. If it wasn't for Renhui's dissuasion, you probably would have killed the teacher." Kamiki Yusuke began to describe what she had said.

Even Inspector Megure looked at her with suspicion.

"Officer, I'm not stupid. I'm just talking. Do you think I'm really going to kill anyone? I don't even dare to kill a chicken. You want me to kill someone? What a joke." She quickly began to explain.

Not knowing whether it was true or false, Inspector Megure was about to ask someone to take Kamiki Yusuke and Hideshima Yumi back for further investigation.

"Officer Megure." Officer Takagi came over as if he had learned something and said, "At 2:30 this afternoon, the victim made an appointment with a man named Bai Liang to discuss the music score."

"Where is the person now?" Officer Megure asked when he saw that Officer Takagi did not bring Bai Liang with him.

"When we arrived at Bai Liang's home, he had already gone out. According to his family members, he was preparing to come over, so I came directly. Didn't Mr. Bai Liang come?" Gao Mu Shi said in surprise.

"No, we've been here for a long time and no one else has come." Hideshima Yumi said with her arms folded across her chest.

"Could it be possible?" Maori Kogoro suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Takagi Wataru and said, "Takagi, how far is this place from Mr. Bai Liang's house?"

"It's less than ten minutes walk from here." Takagi Shigeru also thought of this.

Not only did he think of this, but everyone present also thought of this. This might mean that Bai Liang had probably been murdered.

"Takagi, take your men and search the road that must be taken from Bai Liang's house to here."

"Yes!" Takagi Shige saluted.

"Officer, can we go back now?" Yusuke Kamiki pointed at himself and said. After all, these things happened and proved that they were not the murderers.

"Sorry, I can't let you go back yet. Mr. Bai Liang's life or death is unknown. You can only stay here and wait for news from Mr. Bai Liang." Officer Megure said, pressing his hat.

The three of them looked at each other. They all seemed to have some ulterior motives in their hearts, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction on their faces.

Xingchen and Conan looked at each other, and secretly followed Takagi Wataru.

Because just, ten minutes ago.

"Chen, do you have any different clues?" Conan said after standing with his head down thinking.

"I have some ideas." Xingchen squatted down, put on gloves, picked up a piece of black debris on the ground and continued, "You should know what this thing is."

"Well, it looks like some rags covered with black dye, and it smells like kerosene." Conan wondered if this could be used to destroy the body.

After all, rags soaked in kerosene are highly flammable.

But why do they have to set up a mechanism to destroy the body? Is it to burn the next person to death in the house as well?

However, they did not encounter any fire or anything like that when the mechanism was triggered.

This is what Conan can't figure out.

"The contents might be rags covered with activated carbon." Xingchen saw that Conan didn't know either, so he concluded that this should be activated carbon treated with kerosene.

After all, no investigation is as fast as his golden finger hints.

"Activated carbon? What's this?" Conan said with some confusion. If the murderer wanted to cover up the smell of the rotting corpse, it would delay the discovery.

So why go through the time and effort of setting up mechanisms?

You should know that a corpse will not emit a peculiar smell within three hours, unless the environment here is particularly suitable for the reproduction of bacteria.

A flash of lightning flashed through Conan's mind. Oh, right, the environment, the weather was particularly hot today.

He was so focused on solving the case that he broke out in a sweat without even realizing it.

Conan looked at Xingchen with some surprise. He didn't expect that Xingchen knew that these black fragments were rags coated with activated carbon.

You should know that activated carbon has no taste, and only through experiments can you know the taste of activated carbon.

There was also the smell of kerosene covering it up, which prevented Conan from noticing these things at the first sight.

Xingchen looked up and said, "It's so hot. With the doors and windows closed, the body might emit a bad smell for a short time. It's possible that he will have to cover up the bad smell of the body when the next victim comes in."

"The murderer only needs to wait until the mechanism is opened and the cloth falls, and then he can take the opportunity to kill the second victim."

"He didn't expect us to come here either." Conan continued, looking at the door.

"Well, he might have seen the three of us coming to visit again, so he gave up this chance to kill. And instead attacked the next victim on the road." Xingchen said as he put down the debris.

"Then the next victim is in danger."

"Let's go, Chen." Conan took action immediately and said as soon as he thought of this.

"We must find the murderer before the next victim is harmed." He thought to himself, no matter what your motive is, as long as I, Kudo Shinichi, am here, I will bring him to justice.

The next thing they heard was what Officer Takagi said.

Then he followed.
