Conan and I start the hell-level main line

In the game hall, Officer Megure once again came to the console where the deceased was sitting, and Officer Takagi also reported his search results to us.

"Officer, we have thoroughly searched this floor and found no clues of a needle-like murder weapon."

Officer Megure: "I see. According to the surveillance footage, the murder weapon should still be on the murderer."

Conan stood behind Sonoko, his eyes fixed. In fact, the murder weapon had already been hidden by the murderer, but this method made the murder weapon and evidence always circulate around the murderer.

Naraki listened to Officer Takagi's report and pondered for a moment, while his two friends came over.

"Nailiang, I found a strange place. It should be the same as your inference." Luo Yi pointed at the fighting game console and said lightly.

"Uh, I didn't find anything..." Wang Guqi's face was full of guilt, but he still pretended nothing happened.

"Are you being lazy again..." Naliang rolled his eyes at him.

“Eh… No…”

"I believe you are the only one who has ghosts."

Naliang smiled slightly. It seemed that everything was clear. The closed skylight should be opened to let the truth come out.

Conan raised the watch-shaped anesthetic needle and pointed it at Sonoko's neck. Unfortunately, Uncle Mori, who was most familiar with the situation, was not there, so he would just let you take the spotlight.

At this time, because the suspects were suspicious of each other, everyone's attention was focused on Judy. In order to prove Judy's innocence, Sonoko began her funny live demonstration.

Conan: Oh, they're all sitting down. What a good opportunity~

Just as they were preparing to shoot, a clear but confident voice rang out among them.

"Everyone, I already know the truth of the case." Naliang stood in front of everyone with sharp eyes and a confident smile on his lips.

"What did you say?" Officer Megure was surprised for a moment, but then he became curious about whether this boy was going to say something nonsense again.

"Inspector Megure, don't you understand that the victim was stabbed with a poison needle in the right arm? So Mr. Jiang Shou, who passed by on the left, is not the murderer."

"Then, since it is pufferfish toxin that takes effect immediately, then Mr. Nakajima came into contact with the deceased and then with Mr. Yamajima, so it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Nakajima to commit the crime. Similarly, the same is true for Mr. Yamajima."

"Then it's obvious that the murderer can only be that person!"

!!! The shocked crowd looked at the last suspect - Shimizu Takashi.

"That's right, the murderer is you, Mr. Shimizu Takaho!!!" Naliang made a very classic move, which I don't know if it can be considered plagiarism, and pointed at him with a firm gaze.

Although Conan was amazed, he was actually right. So amazing. I just figured it out. . .

Conan lowered his head again, looking at the watch-shaped anesthetic needle that had not yet occurred, and his mouth twitched. . Why was I interrupted again? Wasn’t it my deduction that was originally...

Shimizu Takao was startled, but quickly calmed down and sneered, making his defense, "What are you talking about, little brother? Bito died in the middle of the game, and I was beaten badly by him at that time. So tell me how to poison him."

"No matter how much you argue, it's useless. As long as we practice it once, everything will be clear." Naliang shook his index finger and smiled as if everything was under control.

"Ms. Xiaolan and Officer Takagi, can you come and help me?" Naliang said to them with a smile.

"Oh, okay." Perhaps because of the detective's familiarity with always responsive to requests, Xiaolan and Officer Takagi agreed without even thinking.

"Okay, can you please use that game console to compare?" Naliang said, and then whispered something to them separately.

Conan, who was standing by, looked at Xiaolan and Officer Takagi with puzzled expressions. He didn't understand what Naliang said. It seemed to be the same as what he was going to demonstrate.

Forget it, although I am a little unwilling to fail to deduce, but since others have taken the lead, I will see if I can add or correct anything later.

Following Naliang's request, the two started the game console and began the battle. On the big screen, two fighters, a man and a woman, were in position.

"Inspector Megure, are you just going to let this kid who claims to be a detective do whatever he wants?" Shimizu Takashi was already feeling a little uneasy.

"That's right. Why would I allow this stranger to do whatever he wants? He's not Brother Mori..." Officer Megure said in confusion. It's so strange...

The game started, and the male player used several critical hits and combos to beat the female player without any chance of fighting back, and quickly won the victory.

"Ms. Xiaolan is in a one-sided situation. This police officer was really cruel." Nakajima Hideaki said while watching the game.

Nakajima Hideaki turned around and wanted to comfort Xiaolan, but his eyes widened at what he saw!!!

"What? Miss Xiaolan is operating... a male character!!!"

"Ah? What!!" Officer Megure was also shocked. He turned his head to look in the direction of Officer Takagi, and his pupils contracted instantly.

Officer Takagi is operating a female character, which means that their roles have been swapped?? !!

"Yes, that's the stereotype. Everyone thinks that Ms. Xiaolan must be operating a female character, and Officer Takagi must be operating a male character."

"But the reality is just the opposite, and it was the same at the time of the crime! Mr. Shimizu and Mr. Oto chose the opposite roles!" Naliang looked sharply at Shimizu Takashi, who was sweating in surprise.

Inspector Megure: "Ah, what's the matter? Could it be that before the game, Mr. Oto had already..."

"That's right. Mr. Bito was killed by Mr. Shimizu with a poison needle before the game, and then they switched roles to make everyone think that Mr. Bito was killed during the game." Naliang nodded and said.

"Okay, let's retell the story. First, Mr. Shimizu came to Mr. Oto and pretended to make a pre-station declaration, but in fact he killed him with a poison needle, and quickly ended the game he was playing and replaced him with his own character."

"Then just choose Mr. Oto's character and keep attacking to trick everyone into thinking they're in a fierce duel."

Xiaolan still didn't understand, so she asked, "Why did it end in a draw? Instead of defeating the opponent?"

"Because if he loses, the audience will definitely look at them first. At this time, the completely different picture appearing on his game console will be discovered, just like Mr. Nakajima and Inspector Megure." Conan explained, always feeling that he should have some sense of presence.

"This little brother is right. If the two sides are tied, then all that will be displayed on their game consoles will be Draw, and no one will ever know who Mr. Oto chose." Naliang smiled affirmatively at Conan, as if to encourage him.

"Then tell me where the murder weapon is~" Shimizu Takaho said with a gloomy face.

Officer Megure: "Since we didn't find it in the arcade, I'm going to search you."

Shimizu Takao smiled coldly, "Go ahead and search, if you can't find it..."

Naliang: "Of course it can't be found, because the murder weapon is no longer on you. Of course, you may not know that this murder weapon has actually been walking around with you all the time."

"what?"

"Hey, Mr. Yamashima, there's a strange sound coming from under your feet. Did you step on something?" Conan said, looking at his shoes.

"Ah, what?" Shandao Jun was stunned and quickly switched from his left foot to his right foot, looking at the soles of his feet.

There was a piece of gum foil stuck on it.

"Mr. Shishui, first insert the poison needle into a cigarette, then use chewing gum to stick the cigarette to the tin foil and put it on the ground. There will definitely be a lot of people coming and going during the game, and when someone steps on it, you can easily lead it out of the murder scene."

"As for the time when you put it down, it should be the time you claimed that you picked up the lighter." Naliang told the truth word by word.

Inspector Megure pulled off the stuff stuck on the soles of Yamashima Hitoshi's shoes, and it was exactly the same as what Naliang said!

"Humph, you're quite good at this. Unfortunately, the cigarettes and chewing gum are not the same brand as mine. This is clearly a trap set by the murderer to frame me."

Seeing that his method had been discovered, Zhishui Gaobao displayed the psychological quality of a high-end prisoner. He calmly took out the cigarettes and chewing gum he brought with him and spoke calmly.

Inspector Megure: “Oh, really?”

"Hey, officer, I found something interesting in this ashtray." Luo Yi said calmly, holding an ashtray.

Shimizu Takaho: !!!

"What?... This is...!!" Inspector Megure came closer and saw a lot of unfinished cigarettes and chewed gum in the ashtray!

"Could it be!?" Inspector Megure suddenly realized!

Naliang nodded, "That's right. The chewing gum and cigarettes that destroyed the evidence were all picked up by you in this game hall. This way, even if you are found out, you have an excuse. And you chewed gum in front of the police officer, taking advantage of the rebellious psychology of humans who generally do not expose their shortcomings."

Shimizu Takao was shocked, "Humph, everyone else can do this, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence!"

"Of course there is evidence," Luo Yi came to the console of the deceased's game machine and pointed at the coin box and said, "The evidence is the coin you put in."

"Mr. Dejima, could you please open the coin box?"

"Oh, okay." Dejima Jun nodded, took out the key and opened the coin box. Three coins appeared inside.

Nakajima Hideaki: "I see! I understand! Dejima Hitoshi collected the coins once before their game started. That is to say, under normal circumstances, Mr. Oto threw one coin for the game, Mr. Police Officer threw one coin for the experiment, and this third coin..."

"It was Mr. Shimizu who cast it when he changed Mr. Oto's role." Judy also understood and smiled faintly.

Naliang: "Yes, this third coin definitely has Mr. Shimizu's fingerprint on it. You originally thought that this coin would be mixed in with the other coins and would not be discovered, but you never expected that Dejima Jun would come to collect the coins before you."

“So, if only your fingerprints can be detected on these three coins, this is irrefutable evidence!”

Now that the evidence was out, any excuses were meaningless. Shimizu Takashige confessed his crimes and his motives for killing Oto Kengo very frankly.

For the sake of her sister, his sister worked non-stop to pay off Kengo Bito's gambling debts and ended up going blind. Shimizu Takaho found Kengo Bito and asked him to leave his sister.

But Kengo Bito said that he would only break up with Shimizu Takaho if he was defeated, so Shimizu Takaho kept honing his skills over the years, but he still couldn't beat Kengo Bito.

So, he developed the intention to kill.

But Shimizu Takashi felt a little regretful. He had obviously had more and more chances to win, but his momentary anger and impatience still led to tragedy.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. He is a good brother because he caused such a tragedy in order to seek justice for his sister, but he is definitely not a good person because he murdered for his own selfish thoughts.

Is it worth killing someone for this ridiculous bet?

……

After the incident was over, Inspector Megure took the criminal away again. He was going to be busy again tonight.
