The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 201: The Crossroads of the Maze 6

Conan paused and guessed, "I think he just woke up, walked to the window and opened the curtains, and then was ambushed by the murderer. You see, the table is not facing the window, but a little to the right. If the curtains were closed, he would be standing in the middle, and it would be impossible for him to fall on the table. So it is likely that the curtains were opened, which means that it was already morning when Mr. Rin was killed."

Hattori Heiji nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, so he continued: "The time of the crime is locked in the morning, not last night, and the suspect can be locked in among the people Mr. Rin is very familiar with. If it is not someone he trusts very much, it is impossible for him to touch his back without any precautions when he is closing the curtains and poison him. Therefore, most of the servants can be ruled out. They basically will not enter and leave the room when the master is there."

But as he spoke, he frowned again.

"But what if I don't do it myself, but instead smear the poison somewhere and let Rin-san get poisoned himself? In this way, I don't need to gain Rin-san's trust. I just need to find a chance when he's not in the room."

In the end, he still couldn't lock the suspects among Mr. Rin's family members without hesitation. Hattori Heiji was rarely influenced by personal emotions in his reasoning. Obviously, no matter how bizarre the cases were in the past, he could still suspect the victim's family without reservation...

Conan patted his thigh and nodded reassuringly.

He could understand Hattori because it was also hard for him to imagine Sister Mio or the head of the clan or even Mr. Guifang murdering Mr. Rin.

There is a complete lack of motivation.

Unless...it involves the fate of the head of the Fujiwara family?!

He suddenly had an idea and told Hattori Heiji about his meeting with the clan leader and Sister Weiyang last night, sharing his guess with his friend.

Hattori Heiji touched his chin. If it involved the transfer of power between clans, the situation would indeed be much more complicated.

But in this case, Mr. Guifang is highly suspicious. After all, he is the current head of the family, and the death of Brother Rin will benefit him the most.

"But there are still too few clues now. We have to find a way to sneak into the scene and find out the real cause of Mr. Rin's death, as well as when and how the murderer committed the crime!" Conan felt that the content that could be inferred based on a few photos was really limited, and he had to go into the room for further investigation.

And we have to do it as soon as possible. If the cat inside messes up some key clues, the situation will be serious!

Hattori Heiji said in embarrassment: "They are so defensive against us, how can we investigate?"

Yes, they are now unscrupulously reasoning and suspecting the Fujiwara family, but in turn, aren't the Fujiwara family also suspecting them?

Although previous cases had their own difficulties, they rarely restricted their actions. Those celebrities would often give their detective titles a face, excluding them from the suspects and allowing them to investigate at will.

But this time, the Fujiwara family went against their will and colluded with each other to defend them all, leaving no room for investigation!

It was the first time for the two detectives, one big and one small, to face such a situation, and they didn't know what to do.

Judging from the fact that the Fujiwara family quickly implemented house arrest after discovering the scene, it can be seen that the Fujiwara family has no trust in them at all. Their politeness last night was entirely out of consideration for the fact that they were guests of Rinshakuha.

"No, we must find a way to borrow uncle's influence. Otherwise, it is impossible for the two of us to avoid such intensive surveillance and find out the results. We must reach a consensus with the Fujiwara family in this regard."

After careful consideration, Conan felt that this time he really had to rely on Uncle Mori's reputation to gain the trust of the Fujiwara family and thus gain a position to investigate the incident openly.

The two of them discussed it and decided to go back and explain the situation to Uncle Maori.

"But..." Hattori Heiji looked dejected, "How should I tell everyone about this?"

The two of them were able to calm down and reason now, and it was entirely because of their detective beliefs that they were supported. But if Xiaolan and Ye knew this bad news...

It's a huge blow to morale alone. Once chaos breaks out, I'm afraid even the two of them won't be able to muster the energy to figure out the truth.

Although he is not very enthusiastic, sometimes a little dark, and rarely takes the initiative to express his concern, Mr. Lin is not a stranger to everyone after all.

On the contrary, the gentleness in his every move made everyone feel comfortable, and they had long regarded him as an important friend.

"Will there be any benefit if I just tell the uncle?" asked Hattori Heiji.

If you can satisfy a few girls temporarily and explain to them after the incident is resolved, the impact will definitely be smaller than telling them now.

Just leave this kind of cruel thing to the men.

"Maybe it's feasible." Conan felt that this plan was not impossible. "Everyone's rooms are separated, and there are servants guarding outside. If we make less noise and contact the uncle through the window, we can do it without alerting others."

They did it right away. They sneaked to the window of Uncle Maori's room and knocked on it gently.

"Is it a bug that hit the window?" Kogoro Mouri looked back in confusion. He was already very angry because he was ordered not to go out, and now he was even more impatient because of the noise. He walked to the window and tried to drive away the bug.

Then I saw two heads popping out from below.

"!"

Uncle Maori was startled.

"Shh!"

Hattori Heiji and Conan quickly raised their index fingers, signaling Uncle Mori not to make any noise.

Maori Kogoro squeezed out dead fish eyes and said: "You two are sick. Come over here to scare people!"

But the next second he realized something was wrong and asked suspiciously: "...Why are you here? Didn't you say you are not allowed to go out?"

Hattori Heiji looked serious. He showed the photos on Conan's mobile phone and told the uncle the whole story from beginning to end.

In order to eliminate the interference of this uncle's unique thinking, he also told Uncle Maori the conclusions he and Conan had drawn so far.

"What?!" Kogoro Mouri was indeed shocked when he heard the news, but he was mentally prepared because the two people reminded him in advance. At least he did not shout out loud. He covered his mouth halfway and looked towards the door vigilantly.

The servant's shadow under the door remained motionless, and it seemed that he was not alarmed.

"Rin-boy is dead? Are you kidding me?!"

He looked very excited.

Are you kidding? This is the Fujiwara residence. Hattori Heiji and Conan, two kids, don't know what the Fujiwara name means. How could a private detective who makes a living by interacting with the upper class not understand?

With the size of the Fujiwara family, whether or not to be the head of the family is no longer a motive, and the real power is not decided by whoever is the head of the family.

Just like so many wealthy families have had cases of fighting for succession, but have you ever seen such a thing happen in the Suzuki Group?

When the scale is large enough, the power operation system has become another form of natural law, and the pattern cannot be changed by a change of position.

So Rin Chiha had no motive to be killed at all!

The source of these two guys' reasoning is wrong!

Kogoro Mori snatched the phone from Hattori Heiji, glared at the two of them, and looked closely at the screen.

"What cyanide... This is clearly because he played games all night and his spirits were not good. Stop imagining things here!"

Kogoro Mouri threw the phone back with a look of disdain.

It has to be a famous detective like him who takes action. These two guys are just playing detective games. They can't compare with him, a famous detective who is famous all over the country.

Is the boy still killed?

Thinking too much.
