Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Chapter 177: Feeling Good About Yourself

"And, Maori brother."

"Are you sure you didn't see the person who locked you in the smoking room?" Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri helplessly and said.

He heard that Kogoro Mori was locked in the smoking room.

The criminal probably knew the famous detective Mouri Kogoro and wanted him not to interfere.

It is estimated that the man named Seki Mori Kogoro is most likely the murderer.

"This, I really didn't see it." Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and said.

"By the way, Lan. Did you see anything strange or hear any strange sounds when you came in?" Officer Megure continued to ask.

"Strange things, sounds? No, I came in and saw a very bright light. Then when the light faded, I found a figure on the water." Mao Lilan shook her head.

"So, that light should be caused by the flashlight below." Officer Megure said. They did find a flashlight below.

But the flashlight seemed to have been soaked in water and was scrapped.

That's strange, it shouldn't be like that.

If the murderer used that method.

Conan stood next to the fence, observing why the railing broke for no reason.

There seem to be traces of someone polishing it.

"How is it, have you found anything?" When Inspector Megure asked, the three kids conducted some investigations in the name of their Boy Detective Team.

Ayumi even slipped when she was leaving the stands and almost fell into the pool.

"Yoshida-san, are you okay?" Haibara Ai walked over and helped Bu Mei up and said.

"My legs hurt so much." Ayumi hugged her legs, tears streaming down her face.

Haibara Ai looked down and saw that her skin was scratched.

She took out a sticky note with a bear head from her pocket, stuck it to Ayumi's wound and said, "It's okay."

"Yeah." Ayumi looked at Haibara Ai with tears in her eyes and thought to herself, Haibara-san is really good at taking care of people.

"Really? Who poured so much water here? It made Ayumi fall down." Genta touched the ground and found that his hands were covered with water.

"water."

"I know the method used to kill the victim." Conan became alert after hearing this word.

"You know it again?" Xingchen, who was thinking, turned his head and asked curiously.

Xingchen touched his head and thought, how come I don’t know anything?

Could it be that the victim slipped, hit the railing, fell into the water and drowned?

Even the victim couldn't swim.

Is there really such a coincidence?

Xingchen looked at Conan, and he seemed to understand everything.

But a troubled expression appeared again.

Conan thought to himself that now he knew how the murderer killed the victim.

But he has not yet figured out who the murderer is.

Xingchen said with a strange look on his face: "You don't know the method but don't know who the murderer is."

"That's true." Conan didn't feel embarrassed and nodded directly.

Xingchen told Conan his guess, and Conan nodded and said, "It's just what you think."

"Is it really that simple?" Xingchen said, feeling that this incident was a little strange.

"But there is no further evidence to draw inferences." Detective Conan's intuition told him that he also felt something strange, and he said, touching his chin.

"You two, the evidence you are looking for is here." In the corner, Huibara Ai squatted there and turned her head and said.

Xingchen and Conan turned their heads to look at Haibara Ai and hurried over to take a look.

A section of fence was standing there neatly.

"What is going on here?" The two looked at each other, and their previous reasoning was instantly overturned.

"What about the broken fence?" Xingchen looked under the broken fence and saw that there was indeed a section of the fence and some debris in the water.

They were all fished out by the police.

"Maybe this fence is the real fence, and the broken fence was actually replaced." Xingchen guessed.

"That's unlikely. Replacing the fence is very troublesome. It can't be replaced by just plugging it in. It's all welded on." This instantly brought Conan, who had just come to his senses, back to square one.

"Conan, have you found any clues too?" The three little ones came over when they saw the three people chatting there, and Mitsuhiko said.

The three children heard Conan's description.

"Part of the mechanism?" Mitsuhiko suggested.

"No, the distance from there to here is at least five meters. If it is a mechanism, it would be too complicated."

"It's obviously very easy to kill the victim." Xingchen continued.

"Well, all it takes is thread, tape, and strong light to make it happen," Conan nodded.

Conan also told the three children about the murderer's method, which was actually very simple.

It is to tie the railing with silk thread and then tie a high-intensity flashlight, and then the silk thread is passed around the audience seats on both sides.

Finally passed the door.

Just wait for the victim to pass by the silk thread and be tripped, then turn on the high-intensity flashlight.

The victim will be blinded instantly and, in panic, will subconsciously hold onto the railing.

It's just that the railing was tampered with and it broke as soon as you held on to it.

This caused the victim to fall into the water.

And the victim should not be able to swim, otherwise this method of killing is completely unrealistic.

The method has been cracked.

But who is the murderer?

On the other side, Kogoro Mori seemed to have an epiphany.

He shouted, "Inspector Megure, I know who the murderer is."

"Hmm!" Everyone present turned their heads to look.

"The murderer is Ms. Morishita, the only one who has entered this dolphin show." Mouri Kogoro said, pointing at Morishita Kurumi.

"Me?" Morishita Kurumi pointed at herself and shouted in a shrill voice.

"First of all, this is what Inspector Megure said." Kogoro Mouri deduced the mechanism and methods, and it was exactly the same as what Xingchen and Conan said.

It is also possible that the mechanism was too simple, which allowed Kogoro Mori to deduce it.

"What about the murderer's motive?" asked Inspector Megure. After all, the murderer must have a motive to kill.

Otherwise, if someone kills someone for no reason, could that person have a mental illness or want to take revenge on society?

If you want to take revenge on society, just rush into the street and kill someone at random.

Then rush into the crowd and disappear, wouldn't that be better?

Isn't it redundant to go to so much trouble to make a mechanism to kill people?

"That's what Ms. Morishita did in order to gain control of the Maritime Museum."

"As everyone knows, the person with the largest stake in this marine museum is Mr. Ichikawa, followed by Ms. Morishita."

"As soon as Mr. Ichikawa dies, Ms. Morishita will be the manager with the greatest power." Kogoro Mori felt very good about himself and reasoned loudly with his hands folded in an L shape.

"But brother Mori, the largest shareholder of this ocean museum is the Suzuki Group." Inspector Megure already knew the result, and his reasoning led him astray again.

"Yes." Suzuki Sonoko next to her nodded.
