Chapter 184: Breaking the record again
"No, it won't... Brother Scarlet Village, what are you talking about? How could I have thought of deliberately not saying it? Conan's expression was stiff and cute, and he was about to hate Twilight in his heart.
In the original plot, it was Yuanzi and Xiaolan who borrowed the fitting room here and changed into twin outfits that made Conan suddenly realize.
And now it may be a little late in time, Xiaolan and Yuan are still in the fitting room and haven't come out, Conan really hasn't thought of the truth yet.
"That's a pity, I heard that Conan not only solves cases with Detective Mori Kogoro every day, but also has a good relationship with Kudo-san, so I thought Conan could think of something..."
"Officer Twilight, I already know who the killer is!"
Ignoring Conan's murderous gaze, Twilight turned to look at Officer Twilight and the others.
Since Conan is not powerful, then Twilight is ready to come by herself, and it is quite fun to solve the case before Conan.
"What? Scarlet Village-san, do you already know who the murderer is? Twilight and Takagi and the others cooperated with each other with a look of surprise.
"That's right, the murderer of Miss Wei Wei is Miss Zhuang Tang!"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they were puzzled.
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
"Miss Zhuang Tang didn't come to buy clothes yesterday at all!"
In the face of everyone's questions, Mu Du smiled and turned his head to look at the young lady of the clerk.
"You just said that only Miss Wei Wei came to buy clothes yesterday, and Miss Zhuang Tang didn't come, right?"
"Yes—"
"How many sets did Miss Wei Wei buy?"
"Two sets—"
"Two sets?!" The crowd exclaimed.
"Ordinary people usually only buy one set of clothes when they go to buy clothes, but recently, it has become popular among girls to dress up as exactly the same twin outfits, and if Miss Zhuang Tang 'doesn't have time' to buy them, Miss Wei Wei will naturally buy two sets by herself, and then give one of them to Miss Zhuang Tang!"
"I see—" Officer Twilight and the others immediately realized.
"As for the cup that proves that Miss Wei Wei has been to the café, it was actually prepared by Miss Zhuang Tang in advance, right? This style of drinking cup is sold everywhere, as long as you buy it in advance or steal one directly in the store, and then find an opportunity to glue Miss Weixuan's fingerprints when entertaining Miss Wei, and the rest is just a matter of stealing the beam and changing the column! ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Tang Weijia chuckled in his heart, and he was already a little panicked.
"What evidence do you, what evidence do you have! These are just your inferences! Although Zhuang Tang tried very hard to pretend to be calm, the unnaturalness on his body could be seen by everyone.
"That's right, you can't find any evidence of the above part of the crime because you cleaned it up cleanly-"
Zhuang Tang Weijia breathed a sigh of relief, while Mu Du and the others were relieved, if there was no evidence, they would not be able to arrest Zhuang Tang Weijia.
"—But there's one piece of evidence you can't clean up no matter how much you clean it up! Miss Shotang! Looking at the confident look in Mu Duan's eyes, Zhuang Tang's face suddenly changed.
"What evidence?" It was Officer Twilight who spoke, and at this time, he, Takagi, Chiba, and the others all looked at Twilight with anticipation, and even Conan, who was very unhappy with Twilight, was completely attracted by his reasoning and forgot about everything else for the time being.
"Bloodstains! Even if you wash it cleanly, you can still detect blood stains! ”
Zhuang Tang's face changed again when he heard this, and Officer Twilight frowned.
"Bloodstains? But no bloodstains were detected at the scene of the crime?! ”
"Because that toilet cubicle wasn't really the first crime scene!"
"Not the scene of the first crime?!" The crowd exclaimed again, and then waited for Twilight's explanation.
"This kind of unveiling process is actually quite enjoyable... No wonder Conan's little ghost likes to solve cases so much..."Looking around, Mu Du couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, and then continued to explain to everyone.
"The deceased had Yoshikawa threads on his neck, but there were no flesh and blood crumbs left in his nails, which is probably because he was wearing a manicure and had been cleaned by the murderer."
"But the murderer is in a hurry to use the time of death to create an alibi, and in this case, precious time will only be wasted to destroy the evidence, so I speculate that the murderer should have been scratched by the deceased in the process of committing the murder - Miss Zhuang Tang, can you let us see if there are any scratches on your arm?"
"I—I've got scratches on my arms... But this is something I accidentally scratched myself before! Zhuang Tang Weijia covered the wound on his arm, making excuses in a panic.
"I guessed you would say that!" Mu Du smiled slightly and continued, "Judging from the depth of the Yoshikawa line on Miss Tsuki's neck, her strength in scratching at the end should not be small, and if the same degree of scar appeared on the murderer's arm, the amount of bleeding should not be too small, so I wondered if it was possible that there were blood droplets splashed at the scene when the murderer was scratched. ”
"Then I looked at the other cubicles in the public toilet and found that the carton next to the deceased had traces of being cleaned that did not match the surroundings at all!"
Hearing this, Officer Twilight couldn't wait to call the forensic personnel who were still at the scene of the crime and asked them to check the carton.
Two minutes later, Officer Twilight received a response that he had found blood.
In the face of such direct evidence, no explanation was useless, and by the time Twilight opened his mouth to ask Zhuang Tang to compare the blood stains, Zhuang Tang had already admitted everything.
It's just—
"Scarlet Village, if you find anything next time, please inform the police as soon as possible, okay?" Looking at the slight dissatisfaction on Officer Twilight's face, Mu Twilight naturally agreed.
Then Mu Du and the four of them followed them back to the police station to make a record, and when they came out, it was already more than five o'clock.
After a little discussion, the four of them found a nearby restaurant for dinner.
"Scarlet, Brother Scarlet Village... Why are you looking at me like that? Conan asked nervously as he looked at the thoughtful expression on Mu Dui's face.
At this time, Xiaolan and Yuanzi went to the bathroom together, and Mu Twilight and Conan sat alone.
"Conan, did anyone tell you that you looked a lot like Kudo-san when he was a kid?" Twilight smiled playfully, and suddenly reached out and took off the black-rimmed glasses from Conan's face.
"Ahh Have it... Has Brother Scarlet Village seen what Shinichi looked like when he was a child? ”
"Yes, the garden showed me photos of him and Xiaolan when they were young! At that time, Kudo-san's classmates looked exactly like Conan, and most twins couldn't have looked so alike—"
"That guy from the garden—" Conan's heart was suddenly full of resentment towards the garden.
But it's just a casual piece of Mu Dui.
"Probably... Possibly..."
Just as Conan was thinking about what excuse he had, Twilight spoke again.
"-But I heard Sonoko and Ran say that Kudo-san wasn't as smart as Conan when he was a child—"
"This... No way? I heard Sister Xiaolan say that the washing machine brother is smart..."Conan's head was already sweating.
"That's Kudo-san, right? In this way, Conan, you are like Kudo-san, who suddenly became smaller, with a 17-year-old mind and a 7-year-old body..."
Twilight's eyes were fixed on Conan as he spoke, almost scaring him out of the stool.
"Does this guy already know that my real identity is a washing machine?!" Conan's heart skipped a beating at the thought of this possibility.
"Why, how could this happen... Brother Scarlet Village, you are really good at laughing..."
"That's not necessarily, now that technology is so advanced, maybe there is that kind of rejuvenating drug?"
“......”
"Do you want to guess like that?!"
"Huh? Conan, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating profusely? Is it because you are not feeling well? Or is it... I guessed it! ”
“......”
His heart was beating violently, and suddenly, Conan calmed down.
"Who the hell are you?!" Conan's eyes widened, staring at Twilight.
"Huh? Conan, what are you talking about? I'm Kenshin of Scarlet Village, a classmate of Yuanzi and Xiaolan... It's just that I'm more curious, and I like to collect some strange things... But Conan, are you really Kudo-san's getting smaller? ”
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Conan finally reacted.
"I see! You want APTX4869! ”
"Is APTX4869 the medicine that makes you smaller?" Mu Du asked pretendedly.
"Don't pretend, I've seen through you!"
"No, no, no, I'm not denying it, I just want to say that I want more than just APTX4869, I want the formula for APTX4869 and the formula for its antidote!"
“......”
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, but his heart regained his former calm.
Judging from the APTX4869 Mu Twilight asked him for, Conan deduced that Mu Twilight was at least not a member of the Black Cloth Organization, which made him relax most of the time at once.
"Who the hell are you? How do you know that APTX4869 still have something to do with me? ”
"Who? Didn't I say that? I'm just a 'collector', for example, in addition to the gear I got from you, I robbed Kidd of his entire gear... Later, I heard Kidd say that you are actually Kudo Shinichi, and this kind of magic medicine that can rejuvenate people is naturally worth my collection! ”
“...... Kidd, this guy! ”
"By the way, I also have a photo of Kidd and Xiaolan kissing at that time!" With that, Mu Du took out her mobile phone with a wicked smile on her face, and took the photo taken at the Sky Observatory to Conan's eyes and shook it.
"Bastard! Lan didn't kiss that bastard from Kidd! They—they just hugged it! At the mention of that, Conan's face and neck turned red.
"Yes, yes, it was just a hug..."Ki Twilight waved his hand, bringing the topic back to the point, "How about it, Kudo-san, when can you bring me the recipe for that APTX4869 and antidote?" ”
......" Conan was tempted to say, 'When did I say I was going to give you the recipe for APTX4869 reconciliation elixir,' but after seeing the malice in Mu Dui's eyes, he wisely didn't say it.
"I don't have APTX4869 in my hand—"
"The miracle medicine that can rejuvenate people, if it is announced, I'm afraid the whole world will pay attention to it, right?"
“......”
"What should I do, it seems to kill him..."Conan cursed Twilight with a broken thought in his heart, and he couldn't help but wish that he could transform into a horse monkey soju.
When he saw Ran and the garden coming this way, Conan finally promised that he would give Mu Twilight the recipe for the APTX4869 and the antidote to the test as soon as possible after Mu Du promised not to do anything bad.
After dinner, the four of them didn't continue to wander around, and after sending Ran and Conan back to the Maori Detective Agency, Twilight also returned home with Sonoko.
After a night of silence, Conan ran to Dr. Asasa's house early the next morning.
"That's... Gray Plains... Can you give me a copy of the recipe for APTX4869 and the antidote recipe for the experimental specimen you made? Conan looked at Xiao Ai worriedly, and then took the initiative to tell the ins and outs of the matter without waiting for her to ask.
"Oh? So he already knows that you are Kudo Shinichi, and he also knows the secret of APTX4869? Xiao Ai's face turned cold all of a sudden after hearing this.
"Yes, yes... It's all Kidd the Thief... He told me who I am..."Conan immediately threw the pot at Kidd.
"Huh!" Xiao Ai just looked at him with a sneer after hearing this.
However, dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, involving the safety of herself and Conan, she still sensibly took out the formula and handed it to Conan.
As for fooling Twilight with the fake formula, she just thought about it and gave up, if Twilight couldn't make it according to the fake recipe APTX4869 and then troubled them, then they would be in danger.
But is his word credible? Will he keep blackmailing us with this? Although she felt that Mu Du would not be that kind of person, Xiao Wai still wanted to hear the judgment of Conan, a detective whose intuition was more accurate than that of a woman.
"Probably not," Conan frowned, he had actually thought about this question last night, and his two eye circles were still dark.
"After the recipe is in hand, he can make it himself, even if he threatens us again, he won't get any benefit at all..."
"Well, since you, the detective, have said so, I'll trust your judgment... Are you going to send him now? ”
"Yes..."Conan said and couldn't help but sigh sadly, feeling a grievance in his heart.
"Then you go, and come back early after sending it over."
"What? Anything else? ”
"A friend of Dr. Asasa invited him to see a firefly show, and he wanted to take us with the kids."
"Hey, I envy them... Okay, I see..."Conan couldn't help but sigh again, and left Dr. Asasa's house with the two recipes.
"APTX4869 formula, worth 500 points—"
"APTX4869 antidote (experimental) formula, worth 400 points-"
Half an hour later, Twilight and Conan complete the deal at Hakura Cafe downstairs from the Maori Detective Agency, and the value of the two items has once again broken the previous record for a single item.
