Chapter 45: The Sneer of the Murderer, the Detective, and the Reporter (Part II)

The police officers outside the door were anxious.

He didn't understand why the door shook violently, and there was silence inside and he couldn't hear anything, he thought something was wrong, and he was so excited that he was about to slam the door, but the moment before he started, the door opened, and the officer's movements froze, and he saw a pair of dark eyes looking at him, as cold as the eyes of a night cat.

The owner of the eyes was Kurosawa Gin, and behind him was Lan Chuan, who had a tired face.

"I'm sorry, I quarreled with him, and I delayed it for a while, right?" Kurosawa looked at the police officer with a smile on his face, but the temperature of his eyes was still cold, so what kind of state of mind he was in at this time, the police officer thought he knew it clearly.

What's wrong with this master......

I began to question deeply why as a criminal police officer sighed at the police officer who was afraid of reporters and felt that he was really too wretched, and didn't say anything, just turned around and resigned himself to leading the way.

"You're really special. The police officer heard Lan Chuan say this to Kurosawa Gin.

"I'm special. ”

……

The two arrived at the room instructed by the so-called Maori detective, and they were the last to arrive, and the slow pace displeased some people.

Behind Maori, who was knocked unconscious by the anesthetic needle, Conan noticed that Kurosawa Silver and Lan Chuan were late, and his face was a little ugly.

"Kurosawa, are you going to shield the murderer again?" Conan's fingers turned white as he pinched the bow voice changer, "Why do you always have to intervene sideways to ...... more than that?"

Halfway through his muttering, Conan's voice suddenly stopped.

He remembered the tragic death of the Moon Shadow Island after the truth was revealed, and the sister of the pet store not long ago closed her eyes and slept in the store manager's arms, her hands trembling a little.

But soon Conan calmed down, closed his eyes and reopened them.

He is a detective, his task is to calmly investigate the truth, no matter what the revelation of the truth will bring, he must point out the only truth, otherwise he is sorry for his detective's heart, he believes that after the truth is revealed, the law and the government will take care of everything properly, and those who should be punished will not escape punishment,

And most importantly......

With the foresight of the last time, even if the truth reveals that the killer is emotional, Kurosawa and the police should be prepared.

Conan thought so, forcing his mind to calm down.

But it is undeniable that the recent case has given Conan a certain blow, and even his solid detective soul has been shaken to a certain extent, if it was him before, how would he think about these things, at most he gritted his teeth and made trouble for him, but there is only one truth, Kurosawa Silver will never succeed, and he will not worry about those things like now.

Kurosawa Silver was quietly influencing Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era.

……

The sit-in Maori is like a cruel inquisitor, and his voice is indifferent to indicate who the murderer is.

Everyone's stunned gaze shifted to Lan Chuan, the person who seemed to them the least likely to sin.

Lan Chuan's face calmed down and let Maori tell him how he killed people without entering the dormitory.

Takagi was entrusted to play the role of the murderer, and brought Shobul's mask to rehearse the scene at the time of the crime, when the telescopic belt was tightened by Takagi outside the door, the masquerade was superimposed, and the twisted white was like a big worm, struggling in mid-air, and then raising his body, the first Shobul protectively faced the bedding that served as a human on the bed, and the cold dagger pointed at the neck.

Takagi pulled out his stick and pushed it hard, and the dagger was inserted into the futon, and a screeching sound was heard in the quiet room.

After that, the sound of cutting the elastic band sounded, the things that connected all the Shoble masks were disconnected, and the sound of thunder sounded in mid-air, followed by the crackling and crackling like rain, and when everyone subconsciously moved away from the hand that was blocking in front of them for fear of being hit by the mask, they were shocked by the terrifying scene composed of masks scattered in the room.

"It's a very interesting move. Lan Chuan clasped his hands to his chest and smiled lightly, "But what about the evidence?"

"Didn't you admit it yourself?" Lan Chuan's mistake was unceremoniously pointed out.

Lan Chuan's eyes were stained with a smile: "It's just one more 'guy', what can it prove? I'm just saying the wrong thing soon." "Kurosawa Silver has said that the greatest advantage of his crime is that he does not leave too many traces, as long as he keeps his mouth shut and does not leak the news, who can punish him?

"......" Conan paused, he glanced back at the calm Lan Chuan, and brought the bow to his mouth, "Studs." ”

Lan Chuan was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Lanchuan, your testimony is that you slept until we woke you up in the middle of the night, right?" Conan asked lightly, "I guess you must have been very angry at the time and rushed over, so why did you put on earrings in this situation?"

Without waiting for Lan Chuan to speak, Conan said to himself: "If you sleep with studs at night, your body may absorb some of the oxide metals, which is very harmful to the body, and even tossing and turning while sleeping, which may cause inflammation and odor in the piercings." As a singer, you should pay more attention to your image, so you won't even be unclear about these things. ”

"......" Lan Chuan was silent, his left fist clenched tighter and tighter.

"And your clothes. Thanks to Kurosawa's last incident of hiding nail polish, Conan is now more focused on the details of his makeup than before, "Everyone was wearing pajamas at the time, only you were wearing a shirt, I thought you didn't have the habit of wearing pajamas, but then I found out I was wrong. ”

"You put on new clothes afterwards, instead of just putting a coat over your old clothes, you seem to have used that shirt as a pajama. ”

Conan leaned back in his chair and calmly revealed the reason for the unusualness: "The studs are evidence that you didn't sleep at night, and the clothes are evidence that you went to the third floor." ”

Conan explained the second half of the sentence: "In order to carry out this crime, you must put up a mask, which will take at least ten minutes, and you will not be able to wear thin pajamas to the unheated room on the third floor to blow the cold air, and if people find out your cold hands and feet, they will definitely wonder where you have been." So you choose a shirt, and after the fact, you are afraid that there will be any traces of the shirt, so you quickly change it. ”

"Mr. Lanchuan, can you now explain why you didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran to the third floor and pretended to have just woken up?"

As soon as the words fell, Lan Chuan's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But he finally let out a breath, let go of his clenched fist, and laughed, and that laughter was full of relief: "Yes, that's right, I did it." ”

"Toya, why are you doing such a thing!" the secretary rushed up to question, but was stopped by a police officer who was afraid that she would be emotional, and she could only show her teeth and claws one meter away from Lan Chuan, "The teacher is so good to you!"

Lan Chuan glanced at her, just smiled, the smile made the secretary stunned, and his movements stopped involuntarily, and he was a little flustered.

However, before she could think about it, Lan Chuan just turned around and walked towards Twilight, raising his hands: "Arrest me." ”

Twilight handcuffed Lan Chuan, gave him a deep look, and pushed him out.

Conan walked out from behind Maori, but there was not much surprise on his face to solve the case, he frowned and looked at Kurosawa Gin, who was looking at Lan Chuan's back, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

"Didn't this guy talk to Lan Chuan in private just now to protect him?Why do you stand by and watch like a play now?" Conan was simply puzzled, his suspicious attitude made it difficult for him to accept Kurosawa Gin's current attitude, and his heart was confused.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind: "Wait, something seems wrong." ”

When Lan Chuan listened to him talk about the evidence just now, he clenched his left hand, but his right hand didn't move much. But when people are nervous, if they want to clench their fists, they either clench their hands or clench their dominant hands into fists, judging from the time they have been with Lan Chuan, Lan Chuan is an authentic right-hander, so why did he make such an unusual move just now?

Conan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked up at Kurosawa's inexplicably curled lips, and a chill jumped up from the soles of his feet.

Don't......

"Brother Lanchuan, wait a minute!" Unable to bask in the shock that his reasoning might have been wrong, Conan ran out quickly, his face anxious and yelled, trying to stop Twilight and Lanchuan.

As he wished, both of them stopped, and Twilight looked back at Conan in surprise: "Conan, what else do you ......?"

Conan didn't pay any attention to Twilight at all, and he grabbed Lan Chuan's right hand, and the other party's fingers were unexpectedly soft.

Lan Chuan was frightened by Conan's movements, stretched out his left hand to push Conan away, and he rubbed backwards, looking at the child vigilantly: "What are you doing?"

Conan didn't answer, just stood there like a log.

Xiaolan ran over: "Conan, what's wrong?" The attentive Xiaolan looked at Conan nervously, although this kid is usually reckless, but how does this look abnormal today.

Awakened by Xiaolan's voice, Conan clenched his fists, glanced at Xiaolan complicatedly, and shifted his gaze to Lan Chuan.

Conan felt that his voice was dry, and he didn't know what mood he was in when he said this: "Officer Dusk, I don't think Brother Lanchuan should be a murderer." ”

"Conan, what are you talking about stupidly things now!" Twilight frowned, "This case was deduced by Brother Maori!" And the evidence came out, and Lan Chuan also admitted that he was a murderer ......"

"But Lan Chuan can't commit a crime!" Conan interrupted Twilight with a low growl.

Twilight was shocked by Conan's words, "What did you say......?"

"Blue River...... My brother's right hand is injured!" Conan pointed at Lan Chuan and spoke word by word, "He can't even move two hundred masks to the scene, how can he be a murderer?"

"What are you talking about?" Twilight's face was full of horror, he couldn't care about the excitement, he ran over and raised Lan Chuan's hand, Lan Chuan instinctively wanted to pull away but couldn't.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lan Chuan pushed Conan away just now and also with his left hand......" Xiaolan couldn't help but cover her mouth and cautiously glanced at Maori, who was in a coma not far away, could it be that Dad's reasoning was wrong this time?

"What if my right hand is injured!" Lan Chuan seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and pushed Conan away in annoyance, "Can't I commit a crime with one hand with my strength?"

"......" the crowd was silent.

But judging from their expressions, no one on the scene believed Lan Chuan's words, except for ...... Kurosawa Silver.

"But I can prove that he is a masked messenger. Kurosawa Silver walked out and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Kurosawa Gin's expression was calm: "A few days ago, I met him and went to the bookstore to buy two identical newspapers, which must have been used to make threatening letters, and he may have applied glue on his fingers to cover his fingerprints when he bought them, but I didn't, and I touched the newspaper." ”

"Probably all threatening letters have fingerprints on them. Kurosawa smiled and flashed his fingers, "Do you want to try it?" ”

There was silence again.

There is no word in the world today that can describe the complexity and uncertainty of these people's hearts.

Is it a murderer?

They don't figure it out.

"Maybe Lan Chuan's injuries were caused after committing a crime?" said the home run Wang Nene, after all, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lan Chuan's hand before this.

Twilight glanced at him and clutched her forehead with a headache, "Tell everyone to go back to the restaurant, Maori, you ...... too"

"Uncle Maori said he had to think alone!" cried Conan.

“…… Anyway, the others go back to the restaurant first. Twilight continued to have a headache, "Takagi, take Lanchuan to the hospital and find out what the hell is going on with his hand!"

"Yes!" Takagi immediately saluted.

……

Unaware that his name as a sleeping Kogoro was crumbling, Mori still fell asleep in his chair.

The rest of the people gathered in the dining room, sitting at the long table, with different looks.

Takagi hurried back with Lan Chuan, broke the unbearable silence in the restaurant, stood up with a twilight in his eyes, and strode towards Takagi: "How's the situation?"

"He had a broken hand. Takagi only had time to say such a sentence before the inspection report in his hand was taken away.

Twilight at a glance and ten lines down.

According to the report, Lan Chuan's hand should have been fractured in the past two days, but it has been well corrected, has recovered well, and his daily life is not a major problem, but he cannot carry heavy objects.

It may be due to Takagi's special inquiry, and it is also thoughtfully stated that the time for recovery after fracture to the current condition should be marked, at least one day with current medical technology.

"I thought that the young master's recent performances were less because of the teacher's charity gala. Hoonami and Mina Ho interlocked their fingers, close to their bodies, stared at Lan Chuan and said softly, "It turned out that the young master's hand was injured." Why don't you tell us?"

Lan Chuan didn't say a word, just lowered his head and was silent.

The atmosphere in the hall was even more silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lan Chuan, they felt that this case was confusing, and then remembered Lan Chuan's behavior of admitting the crime but not being honest about his motives not long ago, everyone felt that there was something unspeakable behind this case.

Twilight looked at Lan Chuan, "What else do you have to say?" Saying this not long ago was to make Lan Chuan confess to his crimes, but now Twilight wants Lan Chuan to prove his innocence.

"Just arrest me. Lan Chuan whispered this.

Twilight was silent.

Kurosawa Gin, who was sitting next to Conan, looked at Lan Chuan with his chin propped up, and snorted lightly: "It's too much." ”

"Kurosawa. Conan couldn't control it at all, he ran to Kurosawa's side and asked in a low voice, "Lan Chuan is not a murderer, right?"

Kurosawa Silver glanced at him: "Of course he is a murderer, isn't the detective reasoning well? What are you doing when you come out and cross the foot?

Conan watched Kurosawa's movements and clenched his fists - sure enough, judging from Kurosawa's reaction, his reasoning was really wrong, and Lan Chuan was really not a murderer. But if he's not, who is he? Now the clues are all cut off......

No, wait, Lan Chuan's motive for "killing" is the clue!

Su Fang is her benefactor, why would he attack his benefactor? The secretary quieted down under Lan Chuan's smile, and it was strange that he hadn't said a word until now! Maybe this was the breakthrough point-

Under the pretext of going to the bathroom, Conan slipped out of the dining room and ran towards the secretary's room.

Su Fang's bedroom had already been turned upside down, and there was obviously nothing to be found there, and the place where she went now should be the suspect's bedroom.

Although he was a little weak about sneaking into other people's rooms, Conan slipped in, and at the same time told himself in his heart that it was just a matter of solving the case...... Conan, who wore white gloves, went through all the places he could find, and then restored them to the way they were before he came, completely watertight and thoughtful.

During the evidence collection, he noticed the trash can, in which there were some pieces of paper, torn, but not very broken, Conan put them together, and barely recognized that these were materials about charity performances, which were also in Su Fang's bedroom.

What's the situation?

Conan suppressed the suspicion in his heart, frowned and put the piece of paper back in its place, and continued to look left and right.

He noticed a fruit bowl on the table with cut fruit in it, and a fruit knife next to the fruit bowl, which looked normal.

But Conan's eyes darkened, and he recorded what he saw, then searched the secretary's bedroom again to make sure there were no other clues available, and ran out of the room.

There are frescoes hanging in the corridors, which are decorated with various masks.

Su Fang's love for masks can be seen.

Conan's gaze shifted from the mask, he trotted down the corridor, directly swept past the room of the soothsayer and others, entered the east wing through the masquerade hall, rushed down from the second floor, ran past the armored knight standing in the corridor, and directly found Lan Chuan's room.

In the women's room, Conan was still a little restrained, but in Lan Chuan's room, he was more daring.

It was because of this that Conan quickly found a letter.

After reading the letter left by his mother to his son, Conan immediately understood Lan Chuan's motive for the crime, he stared at the envelope for a while, his face was a little complicated, but after all, he sighed, regained his spirits, and continued to work hard to find clues.

Conan found a hidden letter in Lan Chuan's desk, and the letter was also written in neat and neat words: "To the dear masked messenger Lan Chuan Fuyuya." ”

Another piece of evidence.

Good, he felt like the thread he had broken in his head was being picked up again.

Conan put the letter away, confidence resurfaced on his immature face, and he muttered to himself: "Kurosawa, your methods are indeed clever this time, but there is only one truth, Lan Chuan is not the murderer, she is the murderer, I will definitely prove this, you don't want to let anyone take the blame for the murderer!"

After saying this to himself, Conan stood up and ran to the restaurant.

Perhaps it was because he was so immersed in his own world, or perhaps because someone was so gifted at machines, Conan didn't even realize that he was fitted with a bug or even a tiny camera.

All his actions were recorded.

Kurosawa Silver sits in the dining room, wearing headphones and holding a mobile phone, seemingly playing a game while listening to music.
