Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Chapter 603 Game Center Murder Case, Case Solved!

Officer Megure said in a deep voice: "That's right, the body search is also to find the murder weapon."

"Hmph, you can investigate however you want. If you don't find anything, I won't give up." Shimizu Takashi sneered.

At this time, the "Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko" suddenly interrupted: "Of course the murder weapon cannot be found."

"Hmm?" Inspector Megure frowned and looked at Suzuki Sonoko in confusion.

'The Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko' continued, "Because the murder weapon is no longer in his possession. However, you probably don't know that this evidence is actually walking around you."

"What?!" Officer Megure asked in surprise.

"Mr. Dejima, could you please come over here for a moment?" 'Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko' commanded.

"...Okay." Mr. Dejima walked to the back of Suzuki Sonoko's chair with doubt in his mind and asked, "What's the matter?"

Just as he was walking, the familiar metallic sound rang out again.

"Okay, please go back." Conan smiled slightly and then said.

"Ah?" Mr. Dejima ran his hand through his hair, feeling confused. Was this a joke?

"What's the purpose of doing this?" Inspector Megure was also confused.

Mr. Dejima felt something strange and turned around and walked back.

The sound of metal friction sounded again.

'The Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko' said: "How come you didn't notice it, Inspector Megure? When he walked, was there a metallic friction sound?"

"What?!" Officer Megure asked in surprise.

"Ah?!" Mr. Dejima quickly raised his foot to look, and finally found a strange thing stuck on his right shoe.

"Mr. Shimizu first inserted the poison needle into a cigarette, and then used chewing gum as an adhesive to stick it on the tinfoil."

"Finally, we just lied and said that the lighter fell on the ground and put it on the ground. Then, as long as people gathered in front of the big screen while watching the game, someone would naturally step on the evidence and take it away."

Mr. Dejima took off his shoes and handed them to Inspector Megure, who took the shoes and tore off the tin foil on them.

Then I saw the cigarettes and poison needles inside.

'The Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko' continued to reason: "Once the cigarette is flattened, as long as the soles of the shoes are thicker, you won't feel it even if you step on it."

"Even if someone finds it, because of the cigarette butt inside, they will mistake it for a cigarette butt thrown away by a customer and will just throw it into the trash can."

"As for whether it would prick someone before someone discarded it, that was not something he considered."

Shimizu Takashi showed a confident smile on his face. Even if what Suzuki Sonoko said was true, he was prepared.

The great detective Suzuki Sonoko continued to reason, "In fact, he had already prepared the cigarettes before committing the crime. According to my guess, they are in the restroom of this amusement center."

"Just roll the paper into a tube, tear a hole in the cigarette box, and then hide it inside the cigarette box."

"In that case, as long as we find Mr. Shimizu's fingerprints on this piece of tinfoil or the cigarette, it will be the most powerful evidence." Inspector Megure said as he looked at a forensic officer putting the evidence into the evidence bag.

"Humph, you are quite capable of coming up with this kind of inference." Shimizu Takashi said with a low snort.

Shimizu Takashi pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and said, "Unfortunately, this is actually a trap, little sister."

"Huh?!" Inspector Megure looked at him in surprise.

"Look for yourself, these cigarettes and chewing gum are completely different from the ones I brought." Shimizu Takashi said with a cunning smile on his face.

"Ah." Takagi Wataru felt something was wrong.

Officer Megure asked, "Is that true?"

"Of course, the murderer probably wants to pin the crime on me. I chew gum to relieve my nervousness during the game." Shimizu Takao handed the cigarette and gum to Inspector Megure and said, "I don't know how many times this has been published in game magazines."

"You can check as much as you want, I guarantee that you won't find my fingerprints anywhere." Shimizu Takashi said, raising his hands.

"I see, now I finally understand." Conan finally understood this and said, "I've always been a little depressed. If you used chewing gum to destroy the murder weapon, why did you eat it in front of the police?"

"From what I gather, the chewing gum and cigarettes you used to commit the crime were all picked up randomly from the ashtray in this game center. This way, even if you're discovered, you'll have an excuse to shirk responsibility."

"..." A drop of cold sweat dripped down Shimizu Takashi's cheek. This guy was more difficult to deal with than he thought.

"But when he used the poison needle to stab the victim, it would at least leave fingerprints," Inspector Megure asked puzzledly.

'Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko' reasoned: "Wrong, he only needs to hold the murder weapon between the sides of two fingers. This way, he can commit the murder without leaving fingerprints or palm prints. And as long as the thumb and index finger apply pressure on the bottom and top of the cigarette box, he can remove the murder weapon without touching it with his fingers."

"However, I'm afraid that coins will be different." After saying this, Conan, who was standing next to the game console, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"..." Shimizu Takashi's expression suddenly changed.

"Mr. Dejima, could you please open the coin box of this game machine?" said 'The Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko'.

"Okay." Mr. Dejima walked to the game console.

'The Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko' deduced, "To be exact, this game machine only has two coins, because when Mr. Bito sat on it, Mr. Dejima had already cleaned out the coin box. But now there are three coins in it."

"Eh?!" Mr. Dejima opened the coin box with the key and saw the three coins inside. He shouted, "Really? There are really three coins."

"It's true." Officer Megure confirmed.

'Detective Suzuki Sonoko' said: "One coin was thrown in by Mr. Oto when he first started playing, and another one was thrown in by Officer Takagi. The third coin, which is the most important, is the coin thrown in by the murderer after choosing a role for the victim when he committed the crime."

"Mr. Shimizu, if you conduct an examination, you will definitely find that your fingerprint is on the last 100 yen coin."

"However, we can't be so arbitrary since it hasn't been sent for forensics yet." Inspector Megure said as he watched the forensic personnel put the coins away.

'The Great Detective Suzuki Sonoko' answered affirmatively: "I am very sure, because when Mr. Dejima collected the coins, Mr. Shimizu had not yet arrived at the game center. I guess he must have thought that even if the coins were stained with fingerprints."

"It's impossible for it to be a problem when mixed with so many coins. Moreover, when you put the coins in without wearing gloves, they will definitely be stained with fingerprints."

Shimizu Takashi took a deep breath, closed his eyes and admitted his mistake: "That coin does have my fingerprint on it."
