"Hello, Kogoro Mori has been invited to visit"

When I opened the door, I saw Maori Kogoro standing outside the door with a hearty face.

Behind him, followed by Xiaolan and Conan.

And the reason why the other party appeared here was not because he was invited by Qinghai Chuantang.

Because herself, in fact, came to visit this Mr. "Kikumoto Hisaken" for some purpose.

Hisaken Kikumoto is a best-selling suspense mystery author.

The style of writing is rigorous and meticulous, and you can feel between the lines what kind of person this is.

After a brief introduction to themselves, they also have a general understanding of each other.

"Unexpectedly, you are the famous sleeping Kogoro, I really admired it for a long time."

"Where, where. I didn't expect Miss Tang to look so young, and she has already helped solve so many cases, which is really my style back then! ”

The two of them were blowing each other's business, which made the people on the side feel a little embarrassed.

Conan looked around and said a little strangely, "Why hasn't Mr. Kikumoto come down for so long?" ”

"Conan!"

Xiaolan whispered, and then showed an apologetic expression to everyone: "I'm sorry, children are just impatient." ”

Also present were Kikumoto Hisaken's son "Motojin", his daughter "Yuki" in the second grade of elementary school, and the maid Izumi Tano.

The two quiet children, hearing each other's words, unconsciously lowered their heads.

Xiaolan, who realized that she had accidentally said the wrong thing, hurriedly apologized for her behavior just now.

And said that what they wanted to express was not what they thought.

"Speaking of which, I also think it's a little strange that the master hasn't been here for so long. Because of the master, he has always been a person with a strong sense of time. ”

"Even every morning meal, it has to come at 7 o'clock sharp, never a minute later or a minute earlier."

It sounds more like a person with obsessive-compulsive time concept.

"In that case, why don't you go up and call him?"

Faced with Conan's question, Yuan Jin, who had been silent for a long time, explained: "Father, he hates that someone disturbs him when he is reading. ”

"When I went before, I was reprimanded for it."

However, there are also guests who come to visit this time.

Even if you are dissatisfied, you must suppress your emotions to avoid ending up unhappily.

This is always the case with the rules of communication between people.

"Mr. Kikumoto?"

Tian Liquanmei knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

After repeating it a few times, Tian Liquanmei said tentatively: "Mr. Kikumoto, are we coming in?" ”

I pressed the doorknob to open it, but I found that the door couldn't be pushed open, and it didn't move.

Obviously, it was locked from the inside.

But why didn't anyone answer?

"I—I'm going to get an axe!"

Tian Liquanmei was a little panicked, for fear that something unfortunate would happen.

When smashing open a small opening the thickness of an arm, Tian Liquanmei reached in and opened the latch.

The moment the door was opened, Kogoro Mori jumped out and stopped everyone.

"Didn't move! Call the police now! ”

The most taboo thing to encounter is to destroy and pollute the scene.

This can cause a lot of confusion for the investigation and sometimes lead people to a dead end.

I saw that not far from the door, there was a pool of blood.

In addition, there are also blood stains in front of the bookshelf and in front of the bay window sill, a total of three.

Kikumoto Hisaken was lying on the recliner, his eyes closed, and he looked like he was no longer alive.

There was a stab wound near his heart.

The room and door were locked, and no suspicious persons were seen.

Therefore, this has become the legendary secret room murder of impossible crimes.

"I see."

After listening to the narration of the others, Twilight Thirteen nodded, but there was no eyebrow.

He looked at Maori Kogoro, then put his hands on the other party's shoulders, and said solemnly: "This kind of technique, as a detective, you, Maori brother, will definitely be able to solve it perfectly soon." ”

"Of course. With my Mori Kogoro out of the game, there is no case that cannot be solved. ”

After saying that, Mori Kogoro laughed out loud, looking a little proud.

Indeed, this kind of ruse is the deadliest for the profiler.

Because I never know why some seemingly unfeasible modus operandi can succeed in the end.

For example, the case that made her particularly profound: the roller coaster murder case.

"Ahh

Conan sold Moe again, and very strangely pointed to the blood on the ground and asked, "Mr. Kikumoto died on the chaise longue." But why, are there three blood stains in this room? ”

Mori Kogoro walked over and unceremoniously rewarded him with a chestnut shot.

"Children don't run around at the scene of the crime!"

Xiao Lan caressed his wound in distress, gently blowing cold air, trying to cool down his pain a little.

Looking at this scene, Qinghai Chuantang can also understand why Conan is unwilling to confess his identity to Xiaolan.

But the most important thing is that you will lose benefits after confessing

"Dusk Police Department."

Takagi walked in, holding a clear bag in his hand.

Inside was a bloody dagger, which was found in the courtyard.

"It seems that this is the murder weapon."

Twilight Thirteen said with great certainty, then turned her gaze to Tian Liquanmei, and asked, "Miss Quanmei, have you found any suspicious people in the past few days?" ”

It is impossible for a young boy in the first year of junior high school and a little girl in the second grade to commit a crime.

And if Tian Liquanmei committed the crime, the police would be the first to suspect her, which was too risky.

So the answer is obvious.

There must have been an outsider who came to kill Kento Kikumoto because of some entanglement, or for some reason.

As the saying goes: peers are enemies.

So the murderer is likely to be someone in the same group.

The above is Twilight's inner speculation.

"Suspicious person?"

Tian Liquanmei thought about it carefully and nodded: "Speaking of which, when I was watering the flowers yesterday, I saw a tall woman walking out of the house. ”

"But her hair was too long and she wore a hat to make a good look at her face."

Mori Kogoro seems to have discovered some new continent.

"In this case, the murderer must be that strange woman!"

Twilight Thirteen said with a smirked face, "But, Brother Maori. If the murderer was her, she would have found out yesterday. ”

"You must know that this morning, Mr. Kikumoto's son went to look for him, and he was reprimanded."

Although there were some mistakes, it was nothing to Kogoro Maori.

So his face did not show the slightest embarrassment, but showed a serious expression.

Said solemnly: "Of course I know. I'm just doing this to show my fans how to eliminate the wrong answers. ”

It's like a multiple-choice question in math.

Although it is a headache, it is important to remove the obvious mistakes first, and then eliminate them one by one to find the final correct answer.

"Fans, fans?"

Both Twilight Thirteen and Takagi had surprised expressions, "You mean, Miss Tang is your fan?" ”

"yes."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded and admitted with a smile: "My admiration for Mr. Maori is like a sponge in the surging river. ”

Hearing this, Mori Kogoro was very satisfied, but he couldn't help but blame himself a little.

I didn't expect that although I was no longer a teenager, I was still charming.

Let others be impressed by their own charm and also fall into their own talent.

Sure enough, it's a sin for men to be too good sometimes.

Seeing Maori Kogoro laughing proudly on the side, the corners of Conan's mouth couldn't help twitching: I didn't see it on her face at all, there was any sense of worship.

Takagi stopped talking, and didn't know if she should be reminded that she must have less contact than Mr. Maori.

Otherwise, you will be haunted by death

"Dusk Police Department."

"What's wrong, Maori brother?"

Twilight Thirteen was a little puzzled, "Have you already solved the secret room murder method?" However, shouldn't you fall asleep before solving a crime every time? ”

This makes Twilight Thirteen deeply suspicious of the other party's reasoning.

Just like when we used to work together, he was always good at leading cases into the maze.

But when "Sleeping Kogoro" appeared, he always had clear logical thinking, and every time he was able to make the murderer willingly confess and obey the law.

"No, Dusk Police."

Kogoro Mori walked to the bay window and looked up.

"Although this kind of secret room seems perfect, in fact, the method is very simple."

Although the windows are locked, the skylights are open through a gap.

Twilight Thirteen instantly understood what he meant.

"Brother Maori, do you mean to say that the murderer escaped through the skylight? However, this gap is so small that even a child cannot pass it. ”

"Of course not."

Maori Kogoro turned to look at everyone and showed a confident smile: "The murderer No, it should be said that the mastermind, she didn't appear here." ”

"Although she also killed people, she killed people indirectly. That's right, the murderer is actually a monkey! ”

Takagi was dumbfounded, puzzled.

"Monkey, monkey?"

"That's right!"

Kogoro Mori explains, "Ordinary monkeys may not be able to do all of this. "But a trained monkey can understand what people mean."

"Let a well-trained monkey complete the killing instead of himself, plus have an alibi, no matter what, he will not suspect himself."

"After killing Mr. Kikumoto, the monkey fled through the skylight and then, as if defiant, dropped the dagger in the courtyard."

"The purpose is obvious, just to tell us that even if the murder weapon is placed in front of you, you will not be able to catch me."

"And if the evidence is insufficient, the police will naturally not be able to arrest him."

"Thus, the real mastermind has achieved the perfect crime of impossible crimes!"

Conan thought a little speechlessly: Isn't this the technique in Pavlaiat's short story, in silent perfection?

"It's amazing, worthy of Mr. Maori!"

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and applauded: "Actually, I think it's okay for parrots to kill people." In the sound of the organ of No. 13 by the reasoner Uchida Goro, such a technique is used. ”

Mori Kogoro nodded approvingly and hit it off.

"It's worthy of Miss Tang, the ideas really coincide! In fact, I think that if you put duct tape on the dagger and let the goat eat it at the end, it is also a very perfect criminal method! ”

Xiaolan looked at the conversation between the two and felt very puzzled.

"Strange, why do the two of them feel very compatible as soon as they meet?"

The two of them are actually blowing each other in business.

It's just that Conan didn't say it.
