Conan and I start the hell-level main line

Mitsuhiko and Maria walked out of the elevator. This was the 15th floor of the building, which was also the office area of ​​the senior management of this shopping mall.

After making sure that there was no one around, the two of them imitated the agents in the movies, sticking to the wall, spying, and moving forward like ghosts.

Unfortunately, they have not received any professional training and are completely different from others.

Conan's voice came from the detective badge, "What are you doing here? Huibara's side is almost done, but you are so slow that you haven't even entered the door."

Mitsuhiko: "We are afraid of being discovered."

Conan (ーー;): "The location of the fall is still uncertain. Do you think the police will go to great lengths to take over the entire building near the windows?"

"It seems so."

"It's right to be cautious, but detectives sometimes have to be bolder. Whether it's action or reasoning, you should be faster or slower..."

"Natsume-san, who is getting impatient, is about to tell the truth~" Conan put his hands on his hips. He could completely relax now. It was his turn to be a bad guy. Conan sat on the bench and eavesdropped on the progress of the case with the bug that he had casually installed in Officer Takagi's clothes.

It seems that Natsume-san has been deliberately guiding and delaying Inspector Megure's thinking.

Haha, I even had to come up with some outrageous inferences to make Inspector Megure speechless, and I couldn't help but wonder if Natsume Hoshi was a clone of Maori Kogoro...

Mitsuhiko and Maria were embarrassed. They adjusted their mode and ran to the manager's office. But what if it was locked?

Don’t worry, Conan has real-time online teaching, and it can be easily done with a piece of wire.

Of course, the premise is that the operator is a smart person with a strong learning ability. Mitsuhiko can do it easily and quickly, but if it is Yuanta... Haha, then cancel the plan.

Inside the office, the bookshelves and coffee tables are all very tidy, the curtains are drawn, and the computers are turned on, all of which reflect the normality of the room.

Maria: “It seems to be okay.”

"No, Maria, you can't just judge by appearances. Look carefully at the floor." Mitsuhiko was already lying on the ground while speaking, looking into the gap under the office chair near the window.

"What's wrong?" Maria also squatted down, and Mitsuhiko found a piece of glass from the gap, with dark red bloodstains on it.

Of course, Mitsuhiko picked up the items with a handkerchief under Conan's strong emphasis. The first rule of action for a detective is not to destroy the scene.

Maria: "Could this blood stain be from Mr. Taniguchi?"

"It is very likely that, judging from the layout of the table, there is a wine bottle but no wine glass. In other words, this is most likely the broken wine glass."

"The glass is stained with blood, and Mr. Taniguchi's leg is also injured. Does that mean this is where he fell from the building?"

"Yeah, I think so," Mitsuhiko nodded and glanced around again, "It seems that the manager cleaned up after committing the crime, fearing that he would be discovered. Unfortunately, it seems that under such high tension, he still made mistakes."

Maria: "Now the evidence has been found. If it is really Mr. Taniguchi's blood, it is irrefutable evidence."

"The answer on our side is similar." The voices of the other four people who were in constant contact with them also appeared in their detective badges, and they had also completed it.

"Then let's go back and start our real reasoning as a detective boy!"

"it is good!"

……

In front of the mall entrance, Inspector Megure could hardly bear it anymore. What on earth was Natsume Hoshi talking about?

"Hey, Natsume brother, can you be normal? Don't tell me you have to fall into a deep sleep like Mori brother!"

Natsume Xing was really talking nonsense and acting very normal, without any pressure at all, and he just laughed, "Haha, it's not that serious."

After all, he is not a serious person.

"Teacher Natsume, we are back." The five little ones ran out happily as if they had returned with a great success, and every child's face was filled with confidence of victory.

When Inspector Megure saw this, he got angry and said, "Hey, you guys, how did you get out of the police cordoned off area?"

"Inspector Megure, it's okay. They are still children. Besides, if we can find the murderer, there seems to be no need to dwell on these things." Officer Takagi had obviously seen that kind of different temperament in Conan many times. Seeing the faint and insignificant temperament in them, he said it subconsciously.

I don't know why I'm so intuitive, maybe it's just my duty as a tool. . Eh, what am I saying. .

Natsume Xing: "Well, you are so confident that you should have known who the murderer is, right?"

Yuan Tai was the first to speak excitedly: "Of course, and I am sure it is 100% correct!"

Mitsuhiko was also very excited: "Yes, the murderer is that person very clearly."

"Oh, then who do you think the murderer is?" After witnessing the detective interview incident with his own eyes, Inspector Megure would not treat them the same way as ordinary children.

I started to listen carefully. Yes, I have long been immune to these unreasonable detectives.

"You are the murderer!" Ayumi and Maria said loudly and solemnly in unison, pointing at the manager among the three suspects.

Zhuo Zhen, Yuan Tai: "The manager is the murderer of Mr. Taniguchi!"

The manager was just like the other murderers accused by the detective, all of them stubborn and unwilling to cry until they saw the coffin.

The manager, who was even more angry, pointed at the noses of the five little ones and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brats? This is not a place for you to play. Go home and drink milk!"

“(Beep)…”

Then the insults became more and more unpleasant, and the young author helped to block them out of concern.

Mitsuhiko: "Have you said enough? No matter how much you say, it can't cover up the fact that you killed Mr. Taniguchi."

Ayumi: "We all saw it. It was you who pushed Mr. Taniguchi down in your office."

Manager: “What? That’s not happening!”

"Inspector Megure, look, this is what we found in the manager's office." Maria took out the blood-stained glass fragment wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket.

Mitsuhiko: "There is blood on it. We can let the forensic personnel do a test to find out if it is Mr. Taniguchi's blood. If it is, it will be evidence."

"Wow, they look really good." Inspector Megure began to look at them with admiration. These kids were indeed different from before.

Before it was a bit like acting, but now, even though they speak with some grammatical errors and nervousness, it all shows that they are experiencing it personally.

Zhuo Zhen: "Moreover, according to our understanding, this morning, Mr. Taniguchi confessed his love to the female cashier again, but the female cashier gave him the condition of getting his salary back before discussing other matters, so Mr. Taniguchi went to see the director of the human resources department."

Yuan Tai continued: "He also wanted to ask for his salary back by resigning, but was still rejected. I learned from other employees in the HR department that the director of the HR department called the manager to talk about this matter after Mr. Taniguchi left. At that time, someone heard the manager say, 'It's time to end it.'"

The manager's face turned pale and he said defensively, "It's just the company's work reasons. It's just that a project should be terminated. You can't misinterpret it like that."

Mitsuhiko: "Okay, then can you explain the broken glass? And why you deliberately cleaned the office before the police came?"

The manager's face darkened and he remained silent.

Mitsuhiko: "Mr. Taniguchi had to come to you again to ask for his salary, but I didn't expect that this time, you would be so cruel as to kill him and put an end to him being your annoying worker. This glass fragment was broken during your fight, so you quickly cleaned up the scene after pushing Mr. Taniguchi down the stairs."

Ayumi wanted to celebrate in advance and sang a song, "Haha, it seems we were right."

Officer Megure had already prepared the silver bracelet, and he said in a procedural manner, "Mr. Manager, is what these kids said true? Did you really push Mr. Taniguchi down the stairs?"

About to start the program setting of crying, kneeling and confessing... Error, program failed!

The manager did not collapse at all. Instead, he looked at them with sarcasm and sneer, "Ha, ha, then explain to me why that loser Taniguchi has a knife stuck in his foot!"

Genta: "That should be the murder weapon you prepared at the beginning, but after injuring Mr. Taniguchi, you were afraid that you would become the biggest suspect, so you changed the method and pushed him down the stairs."

The manager grinned evilly, "Really? If I remember correctly, it seems that he stabbed himself in the thigh with a knife, hehe~"

"How could he...eh...this...seems to be the case..." The five little ones were suddenly stunned and at a loss.

I was only thinking about finding the murderer, but how could I forget that according to Natsume-sensei's analysis, Mr. Taniguchi had stabbed himself with the knife in his thigh, but...but why did he stab himself with the knife? Wasn't he the victim?

"Hey, you self-righteous kid, come on, explain it to me, haha~" The manager laughed at them and added insult to injury.

Inspector Megure: "But how do you know that the victim stabbed himself?"

The manager was trying to cover up the issue and refused to admit it. He said, "I guessed it, do you believe me?"

"This..." Inspector Megure was undecided for a moment. If the detective could not deduce the truth correctly and comprehensively, then the detective's opinion was just one person's, and the police would never accept it.

Now, this question stumped the five kids, and they were speechless. If they couldn't explain this, Inspector Megure would not be able to easily believe their previous reasoning.

What should we do now? How should we solve this problem?

Yuantai still wanted to struggle, but he also understood that if his logic didn't make sense, he would be speechless, "But, but the murderer is definitely the manager, there is no doubt about it, but... but..."

The manager became more and more arrogant, "But what? Tell me ~ Hahaha! How could I be the murderer? Stop making up stories..."

"Yes, maybe you are not the real murderer." At this time, amid the despair and failure of the five little ones, the man who was reliable and steady from inside to outside spoke.

Their teacher, Detective Natsume Hoshi.

The manager was a little confused and looked at the young man cautiously. For some reason, he was inexplicably afraid. "What do you mean? What do you mean he's not the real murderer?"

Natsume said in a sonorous voice: "Mr. Taniguchi did die because of you, but from a judicial perspective, you are not his murderer."

After hearing this, Inspector Megure and Inspector Takagi were also confused. Their first feeling was that Natsume was talking nonsense again, but this time, he seemed serious.

The five children didn't understand, "Teacher Natsume, he is obviously the murderer who killed Mr. Taniguchi, why do you say he is not the real murderer?"

Natsume Xing smiled, "Because the one who wanted to kill first was actually Mr. Taniguchi. He originally planned to kill the manager with a knife, but he was killed instead."

Xiao Ai also understood it quickly, and raised the corner of her mouth in a cold manner, "I see, it is legitimate defense."

"Self-defense?" The five little ones were not unfamiliar with this term, but for them as newbies, wasn't the so-called case just a simple dividing line between the murderer and the deceased?
