Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Chapter 462: Maori Kogoro's Counter-Reasoning

Inspector Megure looked down and saw Conan beside him.

Takagi Wataru, who was standing next to Inspector Megure, shouted, "Conan."

"That can't be the case." Inspector Megure suddenly felt his eyelids twitching and had a bad feeling.

"Haha, although this is just a coincidence. Don't be angry, Officer Megure." Kogoro Mouri appeared behind the two of them and said.

"Haha." Officer Megure laughed perfunctorily and said, "I don't have the time for that."

Xingchen crossed his arms, looked at Conan with half-moon eyes and thought to himself, Ha, where there is a god of death there will be dead people everywhere.

"Hmm?~" Conan felt a little confused when he saw Xingchen's eyes.

"Inspector, it seems that this shotgun is the murder weapon." Takagi Wataru squatted down and picked up the murder weapon on the ground and said.

"I think so," Officer Megure agreed. "Then let's first find out who the owner is based on the gun's registration number."

"Hey, officer, that gun is mine." Sano Izumi said from behind him, "It's the shotgun I use for clay shooting."

"But all of our guns are clearly placed together in an iron cabinet with an electronic lock." Sano Izumi said with a strange expression on his face.

"Everyone's guns!" said Officer Megure in surprise.

"Yes." Sano Izumi pointed at the three people behind him and continued to explain: "The three behind are my clay shooting companions."

"So, who is the person who installed the electronic lock on the iron cabinet today?" Officer Megure said as he glanced at the few people.

"I locked the door, but we all know the password." Komatsu Raiko sobbed, wiped away her tears, suppressed her sadness and continued: "When we came here before, we set the password to '9017', which is a homonym of 'clay shooting companion'."

"Well, as long as I investigate the four of you carefully, I believe there will be results soon. Anyone who reacts to the smoke is the murderer." When Inspector Megure heard this, he concluded that the murderer was among them.

"Well, all four of us reacted, because we went to carry out the clay shooting first and then came here." Yasuharu Misawa said to Officer Megure.

Misawa Yasuharu proposed a hypothesis and said, "Besides, it's possible that the electronic iron cabinet was not locked at all. If that's the case, it's possible that someone took the gun out of the iron cabinet without permission."

"No, that's impossible. You forgot that the gun cabinet we usually use to store guns is made of a kind of box that people usually think is used to store ordinary things." Oda Kunitomo objected.

He also said that the gun was disassembled for storage and most people did not know how to put it back together.

"I see." Officer Megure stroked his chin and said, "That is to say, even if you know that there is a shotgun in the box, you may not know how to assemble it."

Inspector Megure glanced at the four people again, indicating that they were still the most likely murderers.

"Let's ignore this for now. The important thing now is to investigate. Takagi, did anyone see a suspicious person wandering in the bathroom at the time of the incident?" Officer Megure looked at Takagi Wataru and ordered.

"Yes." Takagi Shigeru replied.

"Actually, I just happened to see it." Suzuki Sonoko took a deep breath, strengthened her heart and then said it out loud.

"What!" Inspector Megure and others turned to look at Suzuki Sonoko.

"I saw the murderer coming out of the bathroom." said Suzuki Sonoko.

Haibara Ai heard their words, looked up at them and said, "I saw it too."

"Is what you said true, Sonoko, Ai?" Ran Mouri looked at them for confirmation.

"Yeah." They both nodded at the same time.

"There was a sign above the bathroom saying it was being cleaned, and I knocked on the door but no one answered."

"Ai-chan and I were waiting at the door," said Suzuki Sonoko, describing the situation at the time.

"But then we heard the sound of fireworks, so we went to the nearest window to watch the fireworks." Huihara Ai said, pointing to the window outside the door.

Suzuki Sonoko nodded and said, "Yeah, at this time, I saw a strangely dressed man wearing a hooded coat coming out of the bathroom."

"Then, did you see what he looked like?" Takagi Wataru asked hurriedly.

"No." Huibara Ai shook her head and said.

"He was wearing a hat and a scarf." Suzuki Sonoko also shook her head.

"In other words, the murderer opened fire when the fireworks were being set off. He also prepared the coat in advance to escape. It is obvious that this was a planned murder case." Inspector Megure said to the four people next to him.

"In my opinion, we should ask the four of you to go to different rooms and accept our interrogation now," said Officer Megure.

And Inspector Megure said that in this way they could find out who suggested that they come to this amusement park.

Hearing this, Izumi Sano quickly said that it was a decision made by all of them.

Xingchen folded his arms and looked at them and thought to himself, if what Sister Sonoko and Xiao Ai said was true, then the murderer was most likely someone who was not there during that time.

Then the only one left is Oda Kunitomo.

"Miss, please tell me when I ask for your testimony later." said Takagi Wataru.

"No, there's no need for that." said Kogoro Mouri, who had been silent for a long time.

Everyone looked at Maori Kogoro, who continued, "Actually, when I saw the crime scene just now, I already had a plan in mind."

"After hearing what Sonoko and Ai said, I am even more certain that this is the murderer who killed Miss Itami with this gun." Kogoro Mori said solemnly.

Xingchen twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and thought to himself, could this be another far-fetched reasoning?

"Ms. Sano Izumi, it's you. That's right." Maori Kogoro glanced at Sano Izumi and said.

"Please, don't talk nonsense without any evidence. Why me?" Sano Izumi argued repeatedly.

"There are three reasons why I say you are the murderer." Kogoro Mouri explained the reasons lightly.

First, the murderer hung a sign on the door of the women's restroom, which was the crime scene, and then lay in wait for the victim to arrive. This means that the criminal must be a woman.

Second, the relationship between Sano Izumi and the victim. She and the victim often had quarrels, which can be described as incompatible.

"What are you talking about? Just based on these, you accuse me of being the murderer." Sano Izumi said in confusion.

"Finally, it is the most decisive piece of evidence."

"It's the bloodstain left by the victim on the wall next to her cheek." Kogoro Mouri smiled indifferently and said in the direction of the deceased.

"What bloodstains?!" Sano Izumi asked in confusion.

"To you, this may be bloodstains that happened to be stained while the victim was struggling. But in my eyes, it is very clear. It is the death message left by the victim when he was dying - that is, the English beginning of 'Sano'." Kogoro Mori was reasoning seriously.

There was a hint of surprise in Xingchen's eyes. He touched his chin and thought, my uncle's counter-inference is a bit too strong.
