[Conan] Scenery and Light and Wine

"I brought you here today because no one at home can watch you, and you are not allowed to run around at the banquet, do you know, Conan?"

Mr. Yuichi Nojima, a famous collector, lost a clock he loved very much. In desperation, he entrusted the sleeping detective Kogoro Mori, and finally succeeded in finding the small clock that was accidentally received by the maid inside another big clock. .

To celebrate the return of the lost treasure, Yuichi Nojima throws a small banquet and wants to show everyone what he loves.

For this reason, he invited Kogoro Mori, who helped him find the clock back, to participate, and he also specially told him to bring his friends along.

Mori Kogoro has no time and convenient friends, and his wife is also separated from him. He only has a high school grade daughter, Mori Ran, and a troublesome elementary school student, Edogawa Conan, who is fostered in his home.

He simply brought the two children over, and at this time, he repeatedly emphasized to Conan not to cause trouble for him at the door with a look of disgust.

It's not that he wanted to run around, but whoever encountered a case when he went out before, in order to solve the case, he can only rely on the fact that he is a child now and will not attract attention, so he looks everywhere for evidence.Conan showed a helpless smile with half-moon eyes, and secretly complained in his heart.

It's kids now, yes.This elementary school student named Edogawa Conan is actually a high school student. He is a childhood sweetheart with his high school student Mo Lilan. His real name is Kudo Shinichi. Because of his excellent detective skills, he was once touted by the media as the savior of the Japanese police.

But a few months ago, he disappeared from the eyes of everyone.In fact, it was because, in a case, he met two men in black who were conducting illegal transactions, one of them was a burly man, and the other was a man with long silver hair.

The silver-haired man found Kudo Shinichi who was following him, attacked him, and fed him poison that was said to be undetectable for the sake of silence.

Who would have thought that the poison failed to kill him.Instead, it turned him into a 6.7-year-old kid.

In order to conceal the fact that he is still alive, he now has to use the pseudonym Edogawa Conan, and lives in the house of his childhood sweetheart whose father is a detective, trying to find some clues about that mysterious organization from other people's commissions.

Not long ago he had met a woman who had taken the same poison as he had turned into a child.

And the other party is the developer of this poison code-named APTX4869, and has now betrayed and fled the organization, living in the home of Dr. Ari, a neighbor of Kudo Shinichi, under the alias Hui Yuanai.The two reached a cooperative relationship and worked together to find a way to restore their original bodies.

No matter what Edogawa Conan's original status was, as a child now, he can only honestly hold sister Xiaolan's hand, pretending to be a well-behaved and sensible elementary school student.

The host of the banquet, Yuichi Nojima, was a middle-aged man with a serious face. Seeing Kogoro Mori's arrival, he showed a faint smile, and brought a young man over to greet him.

"Thank you very much for retrieving an important collection for me. Please have fun at the banquet today."

Mori Kogoro laughed complacently, without any intention of being humble at all, he accepted Nojima Yuichi's courtesy with a big wave of his hand.

"If you need anything, you can find Keitaro. He is my assistant and is fully responsible for organizing this banquet."

Yuichi Nojima introduced the young man behind him to Kogoro Mori, and withdrew the smile on his face.

"Mori Detective, hello, I'm Keitaro Miki, just tell me if you need anything, and I will do my best to solve it for you."

The young assistant stepped forward with a shy smile, shook hands with Mori Kogoro, and stood behind Nojima Yuichi.

"I think your banquet is very good, and the wine is also very good. I don't want anything else."

Mori Kogoro did not intend to drag the protagonist to chat, and was obviously more interested in the empty glass of wine.Nojima Yuichi didn't force it, and took his assistant to greet other guests.

The buffet banquet was in full swing, but Conan vaguely heard some noisy quarrels coming from a corner of the banquet.

He poked his head over there, and found that Yuichi Nojima and his assistant had quarreled with a young man with a bad face. The young woman in a formal dress anxiously tried to stop it, but finally calmed down the matter before the fierce conflict occurred. Dispute.

Guests who knew the parties involved in the dispute whispered: "That person is Jiang Yuan, did Nojima also invite him? Aren't they competitors?"

"Maybe he's here to make trouble. I heard that he threatened Nojima-san to kill him. He must have malicious intentions."

"Nojima is too restless, no matter what, he shouldn't be arguing in this kind of situation. Fortunately, Misaki stopped him."

"Miss Misaki has nothing to do with her father's violent temper, so she can only bite the bullet and stop it."

……

I see……

Edogawa Conan learned about the situation just now from the conversation that the guests thought they were whispering, and stayed by Mao Lilan's side peacefully, not participating in these boring worldly affairs.

After the dinner was over, it was the key part of the banquet. Yuichi Nojima took the microphone handed to him by his assistant, and after the audition, he stood in front of the stage and began to speak: "Thank you very much for coming today. I believe everyone knows that today's event The banquet is held to show everyone my lost and recovered treasure."

The guests held the venue and gathered in front of the stage to listen to Yuichi Nojima's speech.

"In this exhibition, I set up a little suspense, and will temporarily turn off all the lights in the venue. You may wish to guess and talk in this short darkness. If someone can guess, I will be very happy!"

Yuichi Nojima notified the lights-off session before the exhibition in advance to prevent confusion, and with a smile on his serious face, he said slowly: "Then let the darkness descend first."

The microphone and lights are turned off together.The guests at the banquet applauded together and whispered to each other.

Standing beside Conan, Mori Kogoro muttered nonchalantly: "It's just a clock, there is no suspense to guess."

Mao Lilan was looking forward to it, but she was more worried about Conan who loves to run around. She took Conan Edogawa's hand and told him worriedly: "Don't run around, Conan, it's too dark now, you can't see anything, if you It’s not good if you get lost or hit somewhere.”

Conan nodded helplessly, and was about to guess the suspense set by Yuichi Nojima, but he heard a muffled groan from the center of the stage.Immediately there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and I suddenly felt something was wrong.

as expected.After the lights came on on time, Nojima Yuichi, who was supposed to reveal the suspense to everyone, fell to the ground with a blood hole in his throat, and blood was gushing out.His eyes were wide open, his hands were in a grasping position, and he was out of breath.

He didn't know when the antique wall clock used for display appeared beside him. The pointer was jumping to the 12 o'clock position, and it started to tell the time inappropriately.

After a moment of silence, there were two shocking screams from the reacting crowd, and the guests were in a mess.

As a former policeman, Mori Kogoro became reliable at this time. He ordered Mori Lan to call the police immediately, pushed the crowd away and rushed to Nojima Yuichi's body, and found the assistant who was so shocked that his hands and feet were weak, and said in a deep voice: " Immediately seal off the venue, and no one is allowed to leave until the police arrive, the murderer is among these people."

"Yes... yes, yes!"

The assistant nodded, and seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately followed Mori Kogoro's request.

Edogawa Conan also took the opportunity to run to Mori Kogoro and carefully observe the information of the corpse.

The blood hole on the throat of the deceased was obviously the cause of death. His expression was ferocious and his hands were still grasping. He must have been attacked suddenly.Although there was a struggle, it was already at the end of the battle.

Conan found that the other party's fingernails were everted, and speculated that the other party should have grabbed the murderer before his death, and it was the strength that could cause the nails to be everted.

In other words, there must be obvious scratches on the murderer's body, and there is a high probability that they are under the clothes.

Because the nails of the deceased were very clean, no blood or skin tissue was left after scratching with such great strength, it must be separated by a layer of clothing.

The police dispatch speed in Mihua Town has always been very fast, and the team led by Mori Kogoro and Conan's old acquaintance, Officer Megure.They investigated the situation and came to the same conclusion as Conan.

Based on this clue, the police checked everyone present and found three suspects with scratches under their clothes.

One is the competitor Jiang Yuan Shen who had a dispute with the deceased not long after the banquet started. He had a scratch on his forearm, but when the police asked him, he hesitated and couldn't answer the source.

One is Nojima Yuichi's assistant Miki Keitaro.There was a scratch on his wrist, and he explained that it was because he was not used to wearing a watch and was scratched by a poorly made strap buckle.

Finally, there is a half-breed man who claims to be the owner of a watch shop, and his name is Shulan Closnodal.

He had a scratch on his neck, just below the collar, which he himself said was scratched by a cat before the party.

The three suspects have their own opinions, and even for Jiang Yuan Shen, who is currently the most suspected, the police have not found direct evidence to prove that he committed the crime.

Moreover, although the fatal injury was clear at a glance, the search for the murder weapon was at an impasse. The police had thoroughly searched the banquet hall, and on the premise that no one had left, they did not find anything thin and slender that matched the characteristics of the wound.

Conan Edogawa, who is actually a high school student detective, frowned and acted. While everyone's attention was on the three suspects, he quickly searched the banquet hall.When passing by the security gate, the cleaning vehicle placed there attracted attention.

There was a faint smell of disinfectant from the bucket placed on the cleaning car. Conan ran over and took out the mop to look at it, and found that the water in the bucket was slightly brown, and there was a towel for unknown purpose soaked in it.

So it is!But what is the murder weapon?

Conan thought quickly, but couldn't come up with an answer for a while, so he had to go back to the police and the three suspects, wanting to hear what they had to say.

He came just in time, and the lack of clues in the case made the three suspected murder candidates eager to bite each other.

Assistant Miki Keitaro pointed at the watch shop owner with a very cold expression, eager to expose the other party's suspicion: "I saw a thin and slender thing on him like you said!"

Officer Takagi heard the words and went to the watch shop owner and asked him to cooperate.Although the owner kept a cold face and said nothing, he cooperatively took out a thin iron piece about [-] centimeters long from his bag. The sharp edge of the throat.

The author has something to say:

How can Conan colleagues not choose one of the three!

I don't have IQ to write too complicated cases, I can only say that I try not to make it too outrageous.Those who are interested can guess the modus operandi and the murderer, it is very simple.

When I woke up, I found that I had collected more than a hundred... To be honest, I was a little panicked.This text is just written to satisfy my own xp, and it is published only because I want to receive some feedback on writing.I have read every message from everyone, and I am really happy to receive compliments.

The spare ribs that were picked out were placed on Big Eye Boy's plate. Keya re-employment guide strongly recommends to try it, at least I like it very much.
