Late at night, Maori Detective Agency.

After making the transcript, Mori Kogoro quickly returned home with his daughter and the oil bottle that his daughter picked up.

This Maori Kogoro is also a successful person in the detective world:

He has worked alone in the field of private detectives for ten years, relying on his own wisdom, ability and struggle, plus a three-story building in the center of the city left by his father, he has saved a net worth of more than 100 million.

And this great detective does not have his own wealth and is detached from the masses, he is rooted in the market all the year round, and he is grounded, and the usual work is mainly to find cats, dogs, find cheating, and catch juniors, filling the gap between the Metropolitan Police Department and the detectives in the grassroots work, and insisting on solving problems for the most ordinary Tokyo citizens.

Today, a rare kidnapping case was solved, and Kogoro Mori did not get carried away.

He just went home and opened a dozen beers to celebrate, as he usually did.

Drink alone, sing and shout, enjoy yourself, and enjoy yourself.

"Hahahaha..."

"Today's case is really going well..."

"Haha, happy... Drink a little more if you're happy! ”

Like the bohemian Wei and Jin celebrities, although drunk, Maori Kogoro was still in high spirits and had a high fighting spirit.

"Be quiet, Daddy!"

"I can't even hear the news on TV!"

Xiaolan endured the interference of noise with a headache, and accidentally pinched out a few cracks in the remote control in her hand.

But Maori Kogoro was already drunk and delirious, and where could he be stopped by words.

And he is Xiaolan's father, not a kidnapper, not a telephone pole, and it is inconvenient for Xiaolan to use any violent means.

"Ugh..."

Xiaolan sighed helplessly, so she had to concentrate and continue to watch the news program on TV.

Conan sat obediently next to her, his gaze equally focused.

Because what is being broadcast on TV news now is the picture of the spokesman of the Metropolitan Police Department being interviewed by reporters:

"After investigation, it was confirmed that both subjects of the investigation have been ruled out of suspicion."

"The investigation into Kidd the Strange Thief will continue in the future."

The spokesman announced the results of the investigation in such a serious manner.

"Is that the Metropolitan Police Department arresting the wrong person?"

A reporter asked maliciously.

"No, you can't describe it by catching the wrong person."

"In the process of solving a case, we often encounter multiple suspects, and the suspected potential targets are brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department for interrogation and testing, and then eliminated one by one——"

"This is a very normal investigation procedure, and it cannot be said to be a mistake."

The press spokesman explained methodically.

And the reporter was unrelenting: "Then it's still the wrong person, right?" ”

Reporter: "I heard that both the police director and the criminal minister were personally involved in this case, right?" ”

Speaker: "......"

Reporter (impassioned): "When will the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department use the highest force to arrest minors, and the strange appearance of abusing public power will be stopped!" Can this society still get better, and when will the people really stand up? ”

Spokesperson: "Ahem... I'll have to explain that. ”

"It is not the director of police and the minister of crime who are in charge of the specific command work, but Lin Xinyilin, who has just joined the Metropolitan Police Department in a part-time capacity."

The reporters were silent for a while, and quietly turned off the fire.

But just moments later...

Reporter A (with a mocking face): "I understand, I understand, the leader is named, and the temporary workers are working." ”

"Something happens, a temporary worker; It's okay, thanks to you. ”

Reporter B (heartbroken): "Lin Management Officer is a well-respected and well-known famous school in the United States; After returning to China, he was used by the Metropolitan Police Department to dump the pot. ”

"The United States knows how to value the elite, but it only pays attention to the background."

"Alas, rigid thinking and backward system will never be able to accommodate a real talent."

Reporter C (indignant and rude): "Yes, Officer Lin's ability is obvious to everyone - before he came, the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't even smell Kidd's fart!" ”

"Without the forest steward, you dare to go toe-to-toe with the monster thief Kidd? Dream on! ”

The reporters were like angry fans of the fan circle, and they almost didn't eat the Metropolitan Police Department spokesman alive on the spot.

Conan in front of the TV was stunned:

Although Lin Xinyi really shouldn't take the blame for this...

But the name of the police hall was scolded, and the name of Lin Xinyi was praised...

With such a double-standard operation, those guys won't have received Lin Xinyi's money, right?

"Hmm..."

Looking at the chaos on TV, Conan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But thinking about Lin Xinyi's poor performance before he didn't even dare to sit in a taxi, he doesn't look like a guy who can afford a hot search...

In this way, in Conan's contemplation, the topic just now was finally reluctantly revealed.

And the current topic is what Xiaolan cares about the most, and it is also what Conan cares about the most:

"Some people speculate that Shinichi Kudo is the real monster thief Kidd, is this news true?"

A reporter took the microphone and asked.

“fake news！ It's fake news through and through! ”

In the midst of countless flashes, the speaker posed his hands as if he were playing an accordion:

"Shinichi Kudo isn't the thief Kidd at all, and neither is another high school student."

"We only invited the two of them because Kidd the Monster Thief had a face that resembled the two of them at the end

The Metropolitan Police Department cooperated with the investigation. ”

"This is a very reasonable investigative request, please don't over-interpret it."

Reporter (with a naïve look): "Really? I don't believe it. ”

Spokesperson: "??? ”

Spokesperson (pondering for a moment): "Believe it or not, I believe it anyway. ”

Reporter: "??? ”

The two played against each other, and there was silence in the air.

But the silence didn't last long.

"If that's the case, then why is there no result from the DNA test?" A reporter asked sharply.

"Because there was a small accident in the DNA identification work, the samples were not available this time."

"But that's okay, we'll go to Kudo Shinichi's house to collect the hair and dander left behind by him later—and then we'll do a new test, and the results will always be convincing, right?"

The spokesman replied with some tiredness.

"Really... Was DNA testing really stopped because of an accident? ”

"Is it possible that this is the real result of your Metropolitan Police Department's attempt to cover up the identification?"

"Otherwise... Why has the high school student been acquitted, and Shinichi Kudo still can't be contacted, and the family is empty? ”

"Has your Metropolitan Police Department secretly arrested Kudo Shinichi and wanted to torture him to extract a confession?"

"Does he still have some ulterior secrets in his hands, so he can't make them public?"

Obviously, the TV station has made a lot of efforts in the investigation in response to this news breaking point.

In connection with the various doubts found through the investigation, the reporter's sharp questioning, coupled with "reasonable" speculation, suddenly created a confusing, suspenseful and terrifying situation.

Once this conspiracy theory is launched, the lethality is incomparably huge.

Even if the Metropolitan Police Department collects samples for DNA testing and uses science to get the correct results, I'm afraid there will be no way to eradicate this rumor-

After all, just as some people believe that 5G can spread viruses and masks are murderous plots, those who are willing to believe rumors don't believe in science in the first place.

And as soon as this conspiracy theory came out, it immediately made Xiaolan in front of the TV have a complicated expression:

"Shinichi... He wouldn't really..."

Unconsciously, Maolilan was already making up in his mind:

Kudo Shinichi was tied up in a small dark room by those secret police, scalded with a soldering iron, tied with a bamboo stick, and tortured to the horrific scene.

"Don't worry!" Conan comforted helplessly beside him: "I... Shinichi brother... He's not going to be some weird thief Kidd! ”

"You've known him for so long, don't you know who he is?"

"That's what I said..."Xiaolan's expression was soothing, but her eyebrows were still full of sorrow: "But Shinichi did disappear suddenly!" ”

"I don't go home, I don't answer the phone, all night."

"It's never been before..."

"Shinichi, he won't really be locked up and tortured by the Metropolitan Police Department, right?!"

Conan was speechless for a moment.

This rumor was so bizarre that he didn't know where to start.

And at this moment, someone helped him comfort Xiaolan:

"Don't worry, that kind of thing is impossible!"

"We, the Metropolitan Police Department... Just... I wouldn't have done that kind of secret imprisonment! ”

"What's that... Kudo... Or is Kidd coming? It can't be in the hands of the Metropolitan Police Department now. ”

It was Kogoro Mori who spoke.

He was already a little delirious and spoke like drunken gibberish.

But he still played this key assist in the end, which reassured Xiaolan and relieved Conan.

"This uncle is still quite reliable sometimes..."

Conan thought so gratefully in his heart.

Then, I saw Maori Kogoro take a sip of beer, and there was a hint of wisdom in his hazy eyes:

"If the Metropolitan Police Department really deliberately covered up the information, there is only one possibility."

"What is possible?" Xiaolan asked nervously.

"It is to pretend to exclude the suspicion of criminals, so that criminals can relax their vigilance and take the initiative to appear in front of people."

With the strength of wine, Kogoro Maori completed a brilliant reasoning:

"So... That kid is now not secretly arrested, but absconded in fear of crime! ”
