Conan Moslin

Chapter 198: Looking around (9) Fishing Line

The second thing to be thankful for today is probably that the room where Kudo Shinichi rests belongs to Takayoshi Tsujimura, a 26-year-old young man.

If it was from Kimie Tsujimura...

In fact, Kuriyasu is quite looking forward to this development, but both Kudo Shinichi and Mrs. Kimie Tsujimura may not be very willing.

Huiyuan Ai listened to the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house looking for clothes, and she was still a little eager: "Come to think of it, when I was studying in college, I saw countless cadaver teachers naked..."

Li An looked at her still interested eyes and suddenly felt helpless.

It was in vain that she was so cautious just now, fearing that the little girl's young heart would be hurt...

Sorry, it turns out she was worrying too much.

It turns out that there are not many easy-to-use members who can become code-name members of an organization.

Kudo Shinichi searched for a long time and finally found a blue casual suit that didn't fit him well. He changed his clothes quickly and then quietly opened the door to let the two people in.

He ignored Huibara Ai's burning gaze, which was as if she was looking at a test subject, and gritted his teeth to change the subject: "Xiaolan, she..."

"She hasn't come back yet, but she'll be worried if she doesn't see Conan."

Knowing that he didn't have much time to waste, Li An didn't waste time talking to him and went straight to the point.

"Kudo Shinichi, have you decided to go out now?"

Kudo Shinichi knew what she meant.

He hesitated for a while, but still nodded, trying to explain with some hesitation: "I..."

"Hattori Heiji has already started reasoning. If you plan to identify the murderer, you must act quickly." Li An glanced at the things sticking out of his pocket and interrupted him, "Let's go, I'll lead the way for you?"

"Sister Li An...you won't stop me?"

Li An tilted his head, revealing a puzzled expression: "Why should I stop you?"

Why would she stop someone who had made up his mind and knew what he was doing?

"……I see."

……

In the study, Inspector Megure was sitting on a seat in the study wearing the familiar orange suit, his cheeks supported by white gloves. He looked at the young detective in front of him busying around with a look of despair, and then he went out the door pulling the clue that he had gotten from somewhere.

Katsuragi Sachiko had just gone to the bathroom, and when she went upstairs again, she saw the young detective holding a fishing line in one hand and a purple ornament on the ground, sliding in through the gap in the locked door.

It bumped along the carpet and hit the desk surface, then fell onto the carpet inside the desk and soon found its way into Inspector Megure's pocket.

When Li An came back, Hattori Heiji had already cut the fishing line in his hand, opened the door, and was explaining the result of his reasoning to everyone inside: "...In this way, a complete secret room is formed."

"What do you think of my reasoning, Miss Magician?"

Li An looked at the extremely thin fishing line in his hand and nodded to him, confirming his reasoning: "It's an interesting technique."

This seems to be the latest extremely thin and flexible fishing line to appear on the market, and this is also what Shinichi just took out of the wastebasket.

It looked like that person had prepared a lot.

She was familiar with this thing. After all, the hidden wires used in their magic show were even more hidden than this. It was really a must-have for home travel and setting up traps...

Wrong, it is a necessary prop for home travel and magic.

She had one on her too, taken off from the set of clothes she had just changed out of, but she didn't wear it around her wrist so it would be easy to spot.

She also stuffed some props in various pockets to clear out the small gadgets in her clothes before leaving the house.

If I send all these odds and ends to the laundry...

The laundry owner would definitely cry.

However, with this method, the key... won't fall where it should be~

After getting the answer from Li An, Hattori Heiji walked in with a smug look on his face. When Inspector Megure asked him who the murderer was, he suggested waiting for a while.

Kudo Shinichi, if you don't come soon... I will solve this case, okay?

Hattori Heiji's eyes were full of confidence.

But behind him, a somewhat shocked voice was heard.

"Ms. Li An... is actually a magician?"

“You’re not a high school student…”

"…I never said that, did you, Ms. Sachiko?"

Li An chuckled, closed the door, and looked leisurely at her pocket.

……

Takayoshi Tsujimura and Sachiko Katsuragi brought Conan and Xiaolan to the door of the room, and found that the door was not locked, so they left quickly.

On the opposite side, Kurian, who was a few steps late, pulled Huihara and nodded to her, then passed by her.

When they were almost at the door of the study, Katsuragi Sachiko swallowed her saliva, pinched her sleeves nervously, and said to her boyfriend on the few steps back to the study: "Ashan, I want to go downstairs to the bathroom first, you go back first."

Takayoshi Tsujimura was still in a heavy mood and did not notice his girlfriend's little action. He nodded, gently embraced her and went back to the study.

When he arrived at the study, he scratched his head in confusion: "Strange, I remember I locked the door before leaving the bedroom this morning... Am I wrong?"

Sachiko Katsuragi quickened her pace and went downstairs. She entered the bathroom and carefully took out a white handkerchief and unfolded it.

The handkerchief was originally placed diagonally in her pocket, folded neatly in two, and there was a needle-like black mark in the middle of the fold.

However, the poison needle soaked in black blood that she had originally put away disappeared.

Oops!

She put away her handkerchief anxiously and opened the door, and then she heard the police officer's loud voice: "Report, a black steel needle suspected to be a murder weapon was found near the desk!"

Then, the high-spirited voice of a young man came from upstairs.

"I see!"

"I know the secret room method and who the murderer is!"

Katsuragi Sachiko's face turned pale instantly.

She gritted her teeth, lowered her head, blinked hard, and went upstairs.

Two tears fell to the ground without leaving the eyes.

She was left and ruthlessly smoothed it with her toes.

……

Mao Lilan went downstairs and opened the door of the apartment. She looked around hurriedly and waited for a while before finally seeing a slightly plump doctor next to the police officer come to the door.

"The patient I want to see is in ..."

The doctor just opened his mouth to ask the police officer a question when he saw a little girl in school uniform at the entrance. Her eyes lit up, she rushed up, grabbed his arm and ran away.

"Wait... wait a minute... I..."

"Doctor, the patient is in the bedroom upstairs, please follow me quickly!"

However, he followed the girl upstairs breathlessly, opened the door, and saw a little girl with brown hair, picking up the draft paper on the floor with a look of disgust on her face.

Seeing someone open the door, she blinked innocently, crumpled up the draft of the legal provision in her hand and threw it back into the wastebasket.

"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

"Conan...where are he?" Mao Lilan asked her anxiously.

"He didn't seem to want to see a doctor. I don't know which room he went to..."
