Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

"Ms. Etsuko, do you have anything to say?"

Kogoro Mouri put his hands in his trouser pockets, his thoughts racing through his mind, and he stared solemnly at the silent Furukawa Etsuko.

Etsuko dropped her hands to her sides, looked at Kogoro calmly, and said calmly and honestly:

"Just like Xiaozi said, when I squatted down to pick up the handkerchief, I heard a loud gunshot."

"Stop acting, Ms. Etsuko."

Maori Kogoro remained in the same position, looking more and more deeply at Furukawa Etsuko, whose pupils were trembling slightly, and asked with a look of psychological pressure:

"Tell me, where is the TV remote for this bedroom?"

Actually...

Maori Kogoro laughed in his heart and said expectantly:

"I really want to see the dumbfounded looks on those two guys' faces when they belatedly discover that I have solved the case, hahahahahaha!!!"

"Detective Maori, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Etsuko Furukawa folded her arms defensively and stared at Kogoro Mori warily.

next second.

"You, what you mean by that is...!!!"

Furukawa Koji thought for a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Maori Kogoro in shock, and confirmed in disbelief:

"Do you suspect that my sister assisted outsiders in killing Mom?!"

Upon hearing this, Machida Azusa held the white coat in both hands and hung it on his lower abdomen. He looked at Maori Kogoro in surprise and confirmed incomprehensibly:

"The criminal's accomplice is Ms. Etsuko?"

"No, the accomplice of the criminal is not Ms. Etsuko. What I really want to say is..."

Maori Kogoro shook his head slowly, looking at Machida Azusa and Furukawa Koji who were relieved, then looked at Furukawa Etsuko, changed the subject, pointed at her, and said sharply:

"You are the culprit!!

Furukawa Etsuko!"

Etsuko Furukawa trembled slightly and was about to argue.

"How can it be?!"

Furukawa Koji looked at Maori Kogoro in disbelief, opened his hands and waved them in front of his chest, palms facing up, and questioned loudly as a reminder:

"Detective Maori, you just heard Xiao Zi say that when the gun went off, she and my sister were outside this bedroom and had no chance to shoot and kill my mother!"

"Yes, Ms. Etsuko and Ms. Azusa were outside this bedroom when the gunshot happened. I won't deny that, but..."

Kogoro Mori looked at Koji Furukawa calmly, dragging out the words as if to keep the reader in suspense.

Machida Azusa looked at Kogoro in confusion, not knowing why he thought that Etsuko, who was with him when the gunshot was heard, was the culprit.

suddenly!

"Maori brother!"

Inspector Megure led two armed detectives and three detectives holding standard shields and ran along the corridor. He clearly heard Kogoro Mouri's mature, slightly hoarse voice, calling him loudly and cautiously.

Kogoro was slightly startled, and following Megure's voice, he looked towards the wall in front of him on the right, and responded appropriately:

"It's safe here, don't worry!"

"Even if you say so, I have to see with my own eyes that you are not being held hostage by a criminal before I can let my guard down!"

As Inspector Megure ran, he carefully glanced at Etsuko Furukawa, Kōji Furukawa, and Azusa Machida who were gathered outside the door. He locked his eyes on the bedroom door that was emitting bright light, and waved his hand without leaving any room for doubt.

The five detectives followed Megure's silent instructions, quickly left his side, and surrounded Etsuko, Koji, and Azusa in a professional formation. They carefully checked the bedroom, confirmed that there was no criminal, only a corpse, and turned back to Megure, reporting loudly and solemnly:

"Report to the officer, there is no prisoner in the room!"

"it is good."

Officer Megure nodded solemnly, strode to the door, and looked straight ahead at Maori Kogoro. The corner of his eye accurately took in the corpse, and his black pupils inevitably shrank once. He ignored the corpse for the time being and confirmed carefully:

"Brother Maori, did the armed criminal escape?"

"Uh... don't worry, the armed criminal has nowhere to escape. What I'm more concerned about is..."

Maori Kogoro looked at Inspector Megure in silence, then looked at the standard rifle and shield in the detective's hand, then looked at Megure again, and described in a chatty manner:

"In order to capture the armed criminal, you dispatched a more professional [Firearms Countermeasures Unit]."

"Not only because of the armed criminal, but also because the person who called the police was Mira."

Inspector Megure crossed his arms with his hands behind his back, and looked at Maori Kogoro as if it was a matter of course, and said righteously:

"Her being injured by a gun in our country is a serious diplomatic incident, and the Metropolitan Police Department will do its utmost to prevent such incidents from happening again."

"That's right. It seems that the personnel you have dispatched are far more than the ones in front of me."

Maori Kogoro looked at Inspector Megure in agreement and asked curiously:

"Where are the others?"

at the same time.

Machida Azusa and Furukawa Koji looked at the rifle in the detective's hand nervously, not daring to move.

Etsuko Furukawa looked at the rifle, her body trembling and she could no longer speak.

Inspector Megure looked at Maori Kogoro calmly and replied calmly:

"We used a stepladder to climb over the wall, broke into the courtyard, broke into the door, and divided into ten teams to check for possible hidden dangers inside the villa.

If my guess is correct, the rest of the people should have found Miss Mira, Miss Lan, Conan, and Haoyue who said they were hiding in the living room when they called the police. "

"Ten teams of soldiers... this is too much of a fuss...!"

The corners of Kogoro Mori's mouth trembled slightly, his hands hung at both sides, not knowing where to put them, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"It doesn't matter."

Officer Megure waved his hand as a matter of course, turned his head to glance at Etsuko Furukawa, Koji Furukawa, and Azusa Machida, and then looked over his head at Kogoro Mori. According to the usual practice of criminal police, he calmly inquired:

"What happened here? What did you mean by saying that the prisoner has nowhere to escape?"

"Here's the thing..."

Kogoro Mouri put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at Inspector Megure calmly, and told him the whole story of the incident in detail.

"I see."

Officer Megure nodded slightly, looked back at the still trembling Furukawa Etsuko, then looked at Maori Kogoro, and confirmed rigorously:

"So you think Ms. Etsuko is the criminal?"

"Yes."

Maori Kogoro nodded without comment, stared at Furukawa Etsuko, and analyzed rigorously:

"Before returning home, Ms. Etsuko sneaked into Ms. Katsue's bedroom through the window and shot her with a silencer pistol. She quickly disposed of the evidence and returned home through the front door."

"You...you are talking nonsense!"

Furukawa Etsuko trembled slightly and argued weakly.

"after that."

Maori Kogoro did not respond to Furukawa Etsuko, and reasoned on his own:

"You brought Miss Azusa to Ms. Shengjiang's bedroom door under the pretext of asking her to come downstairs to see me.

Then you deliberately dropped your handkerchief, squatted down to pick it up, and took the opportunity to take out the TV remote control hidden in your pocket, aimed it at the crack of the door, turned on the TV, heard a gunshot from the TV, then turned off the TV and took back the remote control.

In addition, you destroyed the TV in the living room on the first floor this morning to prevent us from finding out that the gunshots came from the TV series when we heard them.

Furukawa Etsuko broke out in a cold sweat and was unable to speak.

Machida Azusa and Furukawa Koji looked at Maori Kogoro and uttered the syllables in surprise:

"what?"

"Because Mr. Koji saw a bluish-white light flashing in Ms. Katsue's bedroom from outside, I thought it was the light emitted by the TV and made the above deduction."

Maori Kogoro looked calmly at Furukawa Koji, then at Furukawa Etsuko, and analyzed calmly:

"Ms. Etsuko, as the chairman of a film and television company, you should know when your company's TV series will be broadcast, and you should also know when the gunshots will be heard in the TV series. This is why you bought a digital watch in order to accurately control the time."

Maori Kogoro paused for half a second and then made the final statement:

"Now the remote control is on you, and you can call the TV station to verify whether the TV show being broadcast tonight belongs to your company and whether there were gunshots."

--------

During this period.

On the first floor, in the spacious living room, the lights were bright. Dongfang Haoyue, Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan and Princess Mira were sitting in their seats, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"So everything you said back then was a lie, right?"

The pink full-screen mobile phone lies in Dongfang Haoyue's small hand not far in front of her left side. She unscrupulously uses mobile data traffic to play a romantic TV series. The handsome male protagonist in the TV series looks at the beautiful female protagonist who has just said heartbreaking words with a bitter face.

Princess Mira held her legs together with both hands, looked down at the sad plot of the TV series, and murmured sympathetically:

“How pitiful…”

"yes......"

Xiaolan also held her legs together with both hands and watched the TV series with a cold heart.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi withdrew their silent gazes from the TV series, looked at each other, and said in confusion in their hearts:

"Why can't the hero and heroine speak clearly? Why do they deliberately hide the truth about what happened back then when they clearly love each other...?"

"Boom, boom!"

A detective holding a shield stood outside the closed door far to the left and rear of Xiaolan. He knocked on the door twice with his right fist, looked forward, and confirmed solemnly:

"Is Her Highness Mira in there?"

"what?"

Xiaolan and the other three subconsciously made silly sounds and turned their heads to look at the gate far behind them on the left.

Princess Mira was the first to come back to her senses. She turned to look at Dongfang Haoyue, Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan, and made a rational guess:

“Is the person outside the door a police officer?

They are the only ones who will seriously call me Her Highness Mira."

"It should be them, but we can't rule out the possibility that the criminals are pretending to be police officers..."

Xiaolan placed her hands on her legs and nodded in agreement, before she finished her cautious words.

"Coming!"

Dongfang Haoyue jumped into the door like a ghost, reached out and grasped the door handle carelessly, turned it gently, and pushed the door open in a lively and cute manner.

"Bright Moon!?"

Xiaolan was startled and couldn't help but scream. Suddenly she realized that there were several criminal police officers wearing police uniforms and holding standard rifles or shields standing outside the door. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put her left hand on her forehead, and said with a headache in her heart:

"Although the people outside are really criminal police, Haoyue is too brave. She is not afraid at all that the armed criminals disguised as criminal police will trick us into opening the door......!"

at the same time.

Princess Mila held her fair face in her hands, looked at Dongfang Haoyue with a smile, and abandoned her rational admiration in her heart and said:

"The brave Haoyue is so cute~~~!"

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi put his hands on his legs, turned his head to look at the detectives, then looked at Xiaolan, guessing what she was thinking, and smiled happily in his heart and denied it:
