"W-what...?"

There were crystal tears in Nakamura Miri's eyes.

She leaned forward slightly, pressed her hands on the floor, and looked at Kudo Shinichi with some confusion.

"He was strangled."

Kudo Shinichi stared at Sugiyama's neck and reminded him rationally:

"Look carefully, there are rope marks on his neck, am I right?"

"besides."

Dongfang Haoyue knelt on the left side of Kudo Shinichi, looked at Nakamura Misato seriously, and described meticulously:

"This body looks hard."

"Yes, that's exactly what rigor mortis does."

Kudo Shinichi nodded without hesitation, stretched out his hand to test the body, and reasoned calmly:

"Well...Based on the stiffness of the body, he was probably brutally murdered about nine hours ago."

"But the body rang the doorbell..."

Shimoda Kohei looked at Kudo Shinichi nervously, fearfully seeking approval:

"Does this mean that someone placed the body on the doorbell switch?"

Kudo Shinichi looked up at Shimoda Kohei and was about to answer.

"its not right."

Sakai Ryuichi looked at Shimoda Kohei and said incomprehensibly:

“Except for a few students, we were all eating in the living room when the doorbell rang.”

"So the criminal is someone other than us."

Yonehara Akiko looked at Sakai Ryuichi and misled everyone appropriately.

Shimoda Kohei looked at Kudo Shinichi who was still observing the corpse, and said excitedly:

"Who is the criminal?!"

The voice just fell.

Dongfang Haoyue put his hands in his pockets, looked at Shimoda Kohei speechlessly, and secretly complained in his heart:

"Although Shinichi's true identity is a high school student, Shimoda Kohei excitedly asks the shrunken Shinichi about who the criminal is...

This shows that Shinichi's reasoning ability and speaking logic are exactly the same as those of an adult, so that others subconsciously regard Shinichi as a life-saving straw.

Alas, Shinichi's disguise is still not thorough enough. I think sooner or later someone will see through Shinichi's true identity through his unintentional level of reasoning."

Dongfang Haoyue felt deeply melancholy. He turned to look at the bright red words painted on the back of the corpse's right hand and said calmly in his heart:

"Ms. Yonehara originally drew the character ミ on the back of Mr. Sugiyama's hand, and later drew the character ミ on the back of her own hand, changing Sugiyama's ミ to コ."

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi carefully scanned the body and found a U-shaped mark on the back of the body's right hand. He made a careful assessment:

"I think the culprit is the person who attacked Sonoko-sister and Yonehara-sensei."

"what!?"

Shimoda Kohei was extremely surprised.

"look here!"

Dongfang Haoyue came to his senses and decided to act according to the original plan.

She pulled Kudo Shinichi up and quickly walked to the right side of the corpse. She half-knelt on the ground, pointed her finger at the back of the corpse's right hand where the letter U was drawn, and looked at everyone one by one, reminding them seriously:

“Does this person resemble the first two people who were attacked?

They have words drawn on the back of their hands in lipstick!"

"What!?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and looked at the word "コ" in disbelief.

"There's a ミ character drawn on the back of Mr. Yonehara's hand."

Kudo Shin half-knelt on the ground, looked at everyone calmly, and recalled calmly:

"There's a ナ character on the back of Sonoko's hand, plus the current コ character, so put them together and it's..."

"ミ.ナ.コ"

Dongfang Haoyue read out the three words word by word, looked at everyone with a smile, and said innocently:

"It's Minako!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Shimoda Kohei suddenly stood up, holding his head with both hands, his face was gloomy, his pupils were dilated, and he wailed in fear:

"what!!!!!"

"what happened?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Shimoda Kohei in confusion.

Dongfang Haoyue fixed his eyes sharply on Gengping, who was behaving abnormally, and said solemnly in his heart:

“It’s you!!

Three years ago, the person who cruelly hanged Minako was you, Shimoda Kohei!!!"

"impossible......"

Shimoda Kohei held his head tightly, stumbled back three steps, and said in panic:

“Impossible…Impossible…”

"Teacher Kohei?"

Nakamura Misato stood up, clenched her fists in front of her chest, looked at Shimoda Kohei worriedly, and was about to approach him.

"Do not touch me!!"

Shimoda Kohei waved his hand fiercely to scare Nakamura Misato away, and looked at Misato with suppressed fear, denying hysterically:

“None of this has anything to do with me!!”

Shimoda Kohei rushed to the wooden stairs leading to the second floor with all his strength, and emphasized loudly without looking back:

“It has nothing to do with me!!!”

"Don't run around!!"

Yonehara Akiko stood up, pretending to be worried and chasing after Shimoda Kohei, calling out urgently:

"Teacher Kohei!?"

"Wait for us!"

Except for Atsushi Mori, everyone followed with different emotions.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi were running side by side, and they vaguely felt something was wrong. They turned around decisively and suddenly realized...

Atsushi Mori was still leaning against the wall silently.

He was holding a cigarette with gray smoke rising from it, and he glanced at the pretty back of Yonehara Akiko as it gradually receded into the distance. His not-so-handsome face was filled with a gloomy hue.

Dongfang Haoyue turned his head, looked forward, stepped steadily onto the stairs leading to the second floor, and muttered in his heart:

"Mori Atsushi's behavior is too gloomy... If I didn't know that the criminal was Mr. Yonehara, I would probably have mistaken Mori Atsushi for the criminal.

Now that I think about it, Atsushi Mori is like the misleading option that often appears in detective novels, making everyone think he is the criminal, and then they will be surprised when the real criminal is revealed.

Hmm... I've lived here for so long that I almost forgot that this is the Conan world that connects the Detective Conan anime and manga. It's only natural that someone who is suspected to be a criminal but is not a criminal would appear in this world...!"

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi turned his head and looked forward, calmly following Dongfang Haoyue's right side, and guessed hesitantly in his heart:

"Newspaper reporter, Mori Atsushi, did he already know the truth about this murder?"

--------

After a short time.

On the second floor, there is a spacious corridor outside Shimoda Kohei's main gate.

Except for Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko, everyone gathered outside Kohei's gate.

"teacher?"

Yonehara Akiko clenched her right fist, tapped the closed door with her knuckles, and called out calmly:

"Teacher Kouhei?"

At this point, no one responded.

"Boom, boom!"

Yonehara Akiko knocked harder on the door and said anxiously:

"Please open the door, Mr. Kouhei!!"

"Shut up!!"

Inside the house, the doors and windows were closed.

Shimoda Kohei sat on the light blue bed sheet, away from the door, shivering, looking at the cold floor in an escapist way, and expelled him in a timid tone:

"Don't bother me!!!"

"It seems there is no other way..."

Yonehara Akiko took a step back and looked at the door helplessly.

Sakai Ryuichi stood to the left of Yonehara, looking at the gate with melancholy, and confirmed helplessly:

"We have to wait for him to calm down?"
