Sunday, August 10th, afternoon, Rice Flower Art Theater.

Maori left, and the Twilight Police Department had to question Yuichi Uda alone, but Yuichi Uda resolutely refused to admit it, and the fingerprint identification results had not yet come out, so the scene was deadlocked.

In the audience, Conan held his chin and thought to himself, how did the murderer get Miss Shoko to take the cyanide?

"Well, you have a good expression," Heihachiro Shiota said to Conan, "little friend, your expression is more like a detective than Maori's. ”

Conan asked, "Grandpa, how do you think the murderer poisoned Miss Shoko?"

"Well," Heihachiro Shiota looked at the stage, "and only God knows." ”

"Huh?" Conan felt like he was asking the wrong person.

"Don't look down on what I'm saying. Heihachiro Shiota asked, "Little friend, do you know the novel "Spider Silk"?"

Conan said, "I know, it was written by a man named Ryunosuke Akutagawa." ”

"He once said that all good and bad things in the world are in the eyes of the Buddha. Heihachiro Shiota asked, "Do you see the ugliness of a few of them on stage?"

Conan looked over and found Kazuo Motoki, Eiko Nakayama, Junichi Tate, and Yuichi Uda arguing, blaming each other.

Yuichi Uda said: "Yingzi, I know that you have been waiting for me to fail, so you can take the opportunity to fall into the well." ”

Eiko Nakayama said: "This has nothing to do with me, it was the pavilion that framed you." ”

"I didn't. "Director, if you hadn't used that woman in the first place, this wouldn't have happened." ”

"You're saying it's all my fault?" Motoki Kazuo said, "Uda, I think you'd better admit it quickly." ”

"Stupid people just keep arguing, and even if their ugliness is revealed, they still don't know. "They are as stupid as those who cut off the Buddha's hand and turned into spider silk." ”

Spider Silk?What, Conan thought to himself, the most important thing now is to find the murderer. Conan looked at the crowd on the stage, and inadvertently noticed that a decorative star hanging above the stage was in a significantly different position from the others, and seemed to be deviating from its original position.

This is, Conan estimated the original position of the star, and found that it was directly above the table, Conan was taken aback, could it really be spider silk? Thinking of this, he immediately ran towards the stairs leading to the top of the stage.

"Heh......" Heihachiro Shiota laughed as he touched his beard.

Above the stage.

Conan discovers that the displaced star has a fishing line wrapped around what appears to be broken.

Spider silk, I see, Conan thought to himself, as long as he used this method, he could poison the water cup when Miss Shoko drank water. This is a pull-off, that is, there must be marks on the person's hands.

Conan returned to the stage and looked at the hands of the various members of the troupe, and then noticed that there was a clear strangulation on one person's hand.

At this time, forensic personnel reported that the bottle recovered from Yuichi Uda was indeed containing cyanide, but there were no fingerprints on it.

The Twilight Police Department said, "Okay, Mr. Yukazu Uda, Miss Eiko Nakayama, and Mr. Shunichi Kan, please go to the Metropolitan Police Department with me and tell me about this matter in its entirety." ”

It's really nerve-wracking, at this time, my uncle is not there, and Conan was having a headache when he inadvertently saw Heihachiro Shiota who was yawning, by the way, now there is a more suitable candidate, the legendary detective, please.

Conan shot the anesthetic needle at Heihachiro Shiota, who closed his eyes with a mutter, "It's too late for this nap."

Conan hid behind Heihachiro Shiota's seat, adjusted the frequency of his bow tie, and then said in Heihachiro Shiota's voice, "Ahem! Then let me invite the protagonist of this stage, that is, the prisoner of today's murder, to appear. ”

At this time, Yamazaki returned, and when he saw this, he returned to his original front seat on the left.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Mr. Shiota, are you saying that the murderer is someone else?"

"Exactly. Conan said in the voice of Heihachiro Shiota, "Actually, the murderer has been waiting for a certain moment, that is, the moment when everyone's eyes are focused on the two protagonists, Miss Shoko and Mr. Uda, yes, it is the peak of this whole play, when they are martyred." ”

The Dusk Police Department asked, "But if the poison had been done at that time, everyone would have seen it, wouldn't they?"

Conan said in the voice of Heihachiro Shiota "But the situation at that time was a little different, because if the spotlight was only focused on the hero and heroine, the surrounding area would be much darker, and what the murderer was waiting for was the blind spot generated at this moment." ”

Kazuo Motoki said, "But, Mr. Shiota, no matter how dark the stage is, you can't say that someone is near the table, and everyone won't notice it." ”

"Because he didn't need to be near the murderer at all. Conan said in Heihachiro Shiota's voice, "When people's attention is focused on one point, they neglect other things, especially the things in the head. ”

The Dusk Police Department asked, "You mean the cyanide drips from above?"

Kazuo Motoki said, "No, although this is possible, it is impossible. If you want to drip from above, no matter how much you pay attention to it, there will be a sound of water, and if the poison falls from such a high place, it may not fall into the cup, no. ”

"You're so unimaginative, you're a director. Conan asked in Heihachiro Shiota's voice, "Do you know the novel "Spider Silk" written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa?"

"Is that the book that describes the Buddha reaching out from the clouds to save a bandit who is about to fall into hell?" the Twilight Police Department asked, then reacted, "By the way, Spider Silk!" and looked back at the stage.

"That's it, now pay attention to the star hanging from the ceiling, whether there is one star that has become entangled in the fishing line and is out of position. I think that if you investigate the fishing line, you will find a cyanic acid reaction, and the murderer will simply put the cyanide-coated fishing line into the glass and pull the line up, so that Miss Shoko will drink it without knowing it. Conan said in the voice of Heihachiro Shiota, "Under the spotlight, thin fishing lines are hard to spot. ”

Yuichi Uda hurriedly asked, "I was on the stage when the accident happened, so this proves that I am innocent, right?"

Eiko Nakayama said, "I'm also on stage. ”

Guan Shunyi said: "Me too, me too." ”

Conan said in the voice of Heihachiro Shiota: "No, with this method, even if the murderer is not on the ceiling, it is still possible to commit the crime." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "But how?"

"The location of Miss Shoko's glass has already been decided. Conan said in Shiota Heihachiro's voice, "I think you called it a move, right? The star should have been right above Miss Shoko's glass. In this way, even if the murderer is standing on the stage, he can easily poison the glass by extending the fishing line to the ceiling and following the path of the stars. ”

"I see," said the Twilight Police Department, "but when the killer came back from drawing the line, the line was entangled in the rope tied to the star, so the line remained on the star above the stage." ”

Kazuo Motoki asked, "What about the murderer, the important thing is who the murderer is?"

Conan said in Heihachiro Shiota's voice, "This answer will only be known by looking at everyone's palms. ”

"Palms?" the Dusk Police Department wondered.

Yuichi Uda said, "What the hell do you want to do, old man. ”

Yuichi Uda complained, "Really, do you want to find the prisoner just by looking at the palm?"

Conan said in the voice of Heihachiro Shiota, "As long as there is a ghost in his heart, he will not dare to open his hand." ”

"Is that what it looks like?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "Okay, please put your hands in front of you, okay?" and led his men to begin to inspect the hands of the members of the Motoki Stage Theater Club, and then found that the agent, Hitomi Sasaki, was different from the others, and instead of reaching out her hand, she held it tightly.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Agent, Miss Hitomi Sasaki, what's wrong with you, can you please open your hands?"

Hitomi Sasaki stretched out his hands helplessly, revealing the strangulation marks on his hands.

"This mark is ......," the Dusk Police Department said in surprise.

"That's right, that's the mark left by the hand when the fishing line gets entangled. Conan said in Shiota Heihachiro's voice, "Hurry up and take pictures, what are you waiting for, this should be the only evidence." ”

"Huh? Yes. The Twilight Police Department immediately asked people to take pictures, and then said, "Mr. Shiota, after the incident, Mori told everyone that they must stay at the scene of the crime and must not leave, Miss Sasaki's pocket must still be used to commit the crime, so the fishing line that she pulled off is right, how can it be the only evidence?"

"The line should be in someone else's pocket right now. Conan said in Heihachiro Shiota's voice, "I think it's in Mr. Tateba's pocket." ”

Guan Shun touched his pocket and found a small plastic bag with a ball of thin fishing line inside.

Kazuo Motoki asked, "Miss Sasaki, you are Shoko's agent, how could it be?"

Yuichi Uda asked, "Is it because I left you that I chose Shoko's relationship?"

"No, you chose Shoko and left me entirely because your feelings have changed. But the other day, Shoko said, 'I just broke up with Yuichi, he is the same as I thought, he has no fun at all, I will give him back to you now, you can be reunited'. Hitomi Sasaki said with some sadness, "I can't forgive her, Shoko just wants to snatch you away from me to laugh at me." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked Officer Takagi to take Hitomi Sasaki away, and then saw Heihachiro Shiota yawn and woke up, so he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Shiota, you really helped me a lot." ”

"Yes, it's better to see than to hear," Kazuo Motoki stepped forward to flatter, "Sleeping Kogoro, the bold reasoning style of the Maori detective seems to have been inherited from his master, you." ”

"Huh?" Heihachiro Shiota was stunned for a moment, and then said proudly, "Actually, this guy Maori has been learning from me. He laughed.

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, even the cheeky ones are exactly the same.

After a moment, Heihachiro Shiota stretched, "Now that the incident is resolved, I should go back too." ”

The Dusk Police Department hurriedly said, "Mr. Yantian, you go slowly." ”

Heihachiro Shiota approached Yamazaki and asked, "Hey, how's Mori?"

Yamazaki said: "My uncle is being treated now, and the doctor said that it was just a twisted tendon, and there is no major problem, and it will be fine in about two or three days." ”

"That's good. Heihachiro Shiota smiled, "Well, since Mori needs a good rest, I'll take over Mori's work for the next three days." Really, my master has really worked hard. By the way, you're an assistant, you should have the key, right? Let's go back to Maori's detective office. Well, the name of the Maori Detective Agency is not good, and it needs to be changed. ”

Yamazaki and Conan looked at each other and smiled bitterly together. ……
