Conan and I start the hell-level main line

8:00 pm

Shinobu Shimono and Ran came to the top of the mountain and picked up Mitsuyuki Arimori who stayed behind. On the way, they received the news of Chizuru Bizen's death.

8:20 pm

The police arrived at the scene, immediately cordoned off the area, and then drove everyone out except the detectives.

"The deceased is the popular actress Chizuru Bizen. The cause of death was asphyxiation due to compression of the neck. The time of death was approximately between 1:30 and 2:30."

The police officer who came from Nagano Prefecture this time is a little-known police officer, Mito Koichi, whose name you can’t even remember if you don’t watch the TV series.

Officer Mito: "According to what you just said, when the body was found, the door of the deceased's room was secured, right?"

Maori Kogoro nodded, "That's right, so I used my body to push the door open in a desperate situation. Even the doors and windows inside the house were locked from the inside. I think it must be suicide."

(OK, the Maori elimination method has already eliminated the option of suicide.)

"No, this is not suicide, but homicide." Natsume Xing walked out and said seriously.

"Mr. Maori, who is this guy? How can he come in so casually?" Officer Mito looked at him warily. Only a new officer would behave like a police officer.

(Inspector Megure:??)

"Ah, he is my apprentice. My apprentice is usually quite capable." Maori Kogoro said immediately, with a little bit of boasting in his heart.

"So you are Mr. Mori's apprentice. Nice to meet you. Why do you say this is a homicide case?" Officer Mito shook Natsume Xing's hand directly and said respectfully.

"It's because..." Natsume Xing was about to explain, but Naliang, who was standing alone at the side, answered coldly.

"It's because of fingerprints, Mr. Maori. Didn't you notice that the deceased didn't wear socks on his feet?"

Maori Kogoro was stunned, "Ah, what does this matter?"

Natsumehoshi (unhappy): . . .

"If the deceased committed suicide, then given her height, she would have had to stand on a chair to do it, and she wasn't wearing socks, so..."

"Did you find any fingerprints on the chair?" Naliang's eyes were sharp, and his dark eyes flashed with a glimmer of insight into people's hearts.

!!! !!! After hearing this, Officer Mito and Kogoro Mori were shocked!

"Have you found any fingerprints?" Officer Mito immediately asked the forensic personnel beside him.

"not at all."

"Ah, it really was murder." Maori Kogoro stroked his chin, his face gloomy, perhaps he was slapped in the face again...

"Mr. Maori, is this also your disciple? Really amazing." Officer Mito immediately gave Naliang a thumbs up.

"No, he's just a high school student who has a little reasoning ability and speaks nonsense and looks down on others..." Maori Kogoro curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Naliang (ー△ー；): Why do you describe me like this? . .

Natsumehoshi (﹁“﹁): Don’t you have any idea in your mind?

Natsume Xing: "Okay, it doesn't matter who Naliang is, as long as he comes to help us. Now we know that it was murdered, and this place is remote and sparsely populated, so we can conclude..."

"The murderer is one of us who lives in the hotel!" Naliang said quickly.

Natsumehoshi (unhappy): ... If you want to talk about the key points, please find your own point and don’t interrupt me...

After understanding the basic situation, Officer Mito gathered the suspects and questioned them according to the normal procedures.

"Ms. Chizuru's time of death was between 1:30 and 2:30. What were you doing during this time?"

Seimoto Hidehiko: "I came back once at 12 noon. I forgot to bring my lunch box, so I had lunch with Mr. Maori in the hotel. I called Chizuru during the meal, but there was no response."

Miyabe Kouta kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. "I was eating lunch under the shade of the trees by the lake and never came back. Besides, Mr. Seimoto and I were out fishing the whole day."

Mitsuyuki Arimori: "We took Ran, Conan, and the two young men to the plateau on the top of the mountain for a picnic early this morning."

Arimori Mitsuyuki said this, pointing to two detectives not far away who were looking around but no one knew what they were looking at.

Conan was confused. Why don't they come over and listen? (Show your face now while you still have time.)

Shinobu Shimon: "We set out on the road not long after Mr. Seimoto and his group left, and then we stayed on the plateau until 6 o'clock before we went down the mountain."

Minaho and Honami: "We spent the morning cleaning the interior of the hotel, then when Mr. Seimoto came back we had lunch with them, and after Mr. Seimoto left we watched TV with Mr. Mori until the evening when we started preparing dinner."

Officer Mito pondered, "Did you go and clean Miss Chizuru's room?"

The twins shook their heads, "Because the manager has instructed us not to disturb Ms. Chizuru's rest."

Manager? ! ! Natsume Xing's eyes narrowed, and he secretly looked at the twins, and then at Arimori Mitsuyuki who was calm and composed.

Natsume Xing rubbed his temples in annoyance. His mind was a little confused. Although I am a die-hard fan, it is impossible for me to remember the daily cases outside the main plot clearly.

In other words, I have no idea about the plot of this episode, so I can’t cheat.

Looking at Naliang who was smiling alone for some reason not far away, because he wanted to compete with him.

Why is there a sudden sense of internal tension? That guy seems to have noticed something!

No, no, I need to speed up!

Natsume Hoshi leaned against the wall. The police officer and Maori Kogoro were still talking to each other. Conan also joined in, but there were no useful clues.

After all, we are still in the fog, the lights ahead are not clear, and we don't know where we are going. Don't rush in.

Greed? Natsume was stunned, and happened to look at a photo on the wall. It was a photo of the hang gliding flight introduced by Mori Guangxing yesterday.

Wait, if the normal path as a human being is blocked, what about the special path as a bird?

Click! Electric current flashed through Natsume Xing's mind. That's right!

Natsume Xing suddenly realized and hurried upstairs. He wanted to verify something. If his reasoning was correct, that thing would be there!

Following the stairs, Natsume Xing climbed up to the top floor without delay and came to an open storage room.

Someone got there first.

In the storage room, Naliang folded his arms and stood quietly in the dark storage room. The light in the corridor shone into the dark storage room and shone behind Naliang.

Naliang, one black and one white.

"That's pretty fast, it seems you've discovered it too." Naliang turned his head in the darkness illuminated by the light and smiled slightly.

"I'm still one step behind you." Natsume Xing sighed, with a different look, eyes shining and smiling.

"It's almost done." Naliang shrugged, walked out, and went straight to the roof. Outside, it was bleak in the dark autumn wind, but here it was bright with countless lights.

"You've also noticed that this place is very spacious and bright, making it very suitable for hang gliding landing." Naliang pushed his glasses and said as the noisy evening breeze blew.

"Hmph, it seems that our reasoning is similar." Natsume Xing also stood in the evening breeze, smiling in confrontation.

"Natsume...brother? Naliang brother? Why are you here?" Conan asked curiously outside the door.

Conan came up to check out the case because he had guessed the method of the case through reasoning, and he saw them as soon as he arrived.

So it's all based on reasoning... Is there no other answer? Then this daily case is really simple...

"Huh? Are you the kid named Conan who was beside Miss Xiaolan?" Naliang narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

A sharp sword-like gaze instantly locked onto Conan, watching his every move, and Conan instantly felt a shiver.

Natsume looked at Naliang who seemed to be suspicious, and ran over and picked up Conan without saying anything.

Before Conan, the dull little brat, could react to what was happening, Natsume Hoshi started to lecture him in a rude manner.

"You little brat, why don't you stay around Mr. Maori? What are you running around for? What if you accidentally destroy the scene? What if you get hurt by the murderer?"

"You naughty kid are always like this. You really need to be taught a lesson. Go back now!" Natsume Xing cursed and picked up Conan and walked back with him.

"Hehe, what a naughty kid." Naliang said lightly, not caring at all, and continued to look at the wall, looking for something.

Natsume stared at Naliang secretly, and he didn't seem to be paying attention, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Conan, who was being carried, looked confused and still struggled.

Conan jumped to the ground, and asked in a cute and confused manner, "Natsume-san, what are you doing?"

"Why are you asking me? You're so stupid!" Natsume Xing glared at him unhappily.

"Huh? What?"

"When will you understand that you are now a child? Since you came here through reasoning, you should also understand that Naliang and I also came here because of reasoning."

"In that case, what does your sudden appearance here mean? It means that you are not ordinary. Don't forget that Naliang is a very good detective. What if he finds out that you are different from ordinary people and becomes suspicious, and then discovers your identity?" Natsume Xing said seriously.

"Oh, yes, sorry Natsume-san." Conan also understood this and lowered his head in shame.

"Hey, Conan, you must remember, you are a child now, and you must never let yourself doubt yourself. You must think twice before doing anything, do you understand? Stay away from that Naliang in the future, and don't let him suspect you." Natsume Xing touched Conan's little head and said solemnly.

Mm, the little Corgi’s head feels so good to touch, so comfortable…

"Yeah, okay." Conan nodded, very grateful to this brother who had always helped him. Natsume brother is so nice to me.

Natsume Xing took Conan away, but he was not at peace in his heart, because he knew very well why Conan had to hide something. It was not only to protect him, but also to... protect himself.

Naliang.

There have never been Chinese people in the original work, but they appear now. According to Conan, there are three of them. It is obvious with your toes that these three Chinese are definitely not ordinary NPCs. In the "Hell-level Main Line", they are definitely not as simple as they seem.

This Naliang has very strong reasoning ability, and his observation and insight are amazing, but I have no idea whether he is good or bad, red or black, everything is shrouded in mystery.

Therefore, for now, it is better to prioritize the safety of myself and Conan and observe secretly.

After Natsume Star took Conan away, Naliang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked quietly in the direction they left in the wind.

Conan... Huh...

……

Back at the restaurant, Officer Mito was ready to take back a few suspects he had identified, but then he was interrupted in a classic way.

"Wait a minute, officer. I already know who the murderer is." Natsume Xing walked out with Conan and said.

"Oh, you are Mr. Mori's disciple? Do you know the truth of the case?" Officer Mito was a little surprised. He looked at Kogoro Mori who was still confused. How could his young disciple discover it so quickly?
