Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Fog of the Case Has Been Lifted, Where Will Xiaolan Go?
……
When Xiaolan sat on the sofa in the living room, she didn't know what to say. Taiyi asked with a little concern.
"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? ”
"No~~" Xiaolan shook her head and said slowly.
"Taiyi, I know it would be too much for me to say this, but can you give me a little more time, I want to prove one thing myself."
"To prove something?" Taiyi asked a little confused.
"Hmm!" Xiaolan kept nodding her head and looked at Taiyi with a hopeful gaze.
"Can you tell me why?"
"It's because, because I never dared to believe that I saw that."
Xiaolan fell into the memory, "If Shinichi was here, what would he do at that time?" ”
"Shinichi~~~"
It was after school one afternoon, when Xiaolan and Shinichi were on their way home together, Xiaolan suddenly asked Shinichi a question on a whim.
"Huh? You said if the murderer was someone I knew. ”
"yes, if it's Dr. Asasa. What should you do? ”
"I'll say it~~" Shinichi said without the slightest hesitation.
"You're going to expose him?" Xiaolan's eyes widened, looking incredulous.
"Yes, I will make it clear that the murderer is you." Shinichi's tone at this moment was full of seriousness.
"I didn't expect you to pretend to be so cold." Xiaolan seems to be seeing Shinichi like this for the first time.
"I don't know what to wear, and at this time, I will definitely be in a hurry to run everywhere."
As he spoke, Shinichi smiled heartily, "Do everything I can to prove that my good friend is not the real murderer." ”
Just because of this, Xiaolan plucked up the courage and found Taiyi, hoping that he could give himself a little more time to prove that Mr. Maeda was not a murderer.
After all, Taiyi is also the same person who fought with the Duke of the Night, and he is so resolute every time he solves the case, it is hard to guarantee that he will not know about Mr. Maeda disguised as the Duke of the Night.
“…… What a fool! Obviously, these things, as long as he turns around in his mind, Taiyi understands why Xiaolan came to him at this time.
"Uh-huh~~~" Who made Xiaolan so cute, too one coughed pretending to be, "My little kitten seems to have eaten a bad stomach at night, and her little belly is a little uncomfortable, so I have to take care of her for a while." ”
"Xiaolan, don't forget to tell Officer Henggou when you go downstairs, I'll go down when I'm done."
"Hmm!" Xiaolan nodded excitedly.
When the door was closed again, Taiyi turned around, but saw Wen Wenmeow running in front of him at some point.
"I didn't feel uncomfortable~~~"
"Uh~~~"
"I didn't feel sick to my stomach ~~~"
"Uh~~~"
"I don't have it even more, I eat my stomach bad~~~"
Taiyi resolutely bowed his head to the big guy and admitted his mistake, "It's a mistake, please allow your Highness to pay a tribute of 100 small dried fish as compensation." ”
"Hmph~~~" Wen Wenmeow took elegant steps at this time, returned to the sofa, and lay down.
Taiyi hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead, "You ask Taiyi, why are you afraid of Wen Wenmeow?" ”
"Well, you don't know about this, because Taiyi and Wen Wenmeow have some kind of mysterious connection."
"Therefore, Wen Wenmeow can give Taiyi when necessary to convey his luck."
"But what if it's the other way around? Wen Wenmeow asked Taiyi to give her luck for herself? ”
"Then he can be completely coerced, ensuring that you can even choke on saliva, choke on eating, and fall on the ground when you walk, you ask him why he can't control it himself."
"Can you tell me, what the hell is luck? That thing can't be touched, and it can't be seen, how can you let him control it? ”
“…………”
When Taiyi came downstairs again, Officer Yokozo had already unlocked Mr. Ehara with the help of Conan, why the anti-theft lock in that room was reversed.
"Sir, look at what's on this burglar lock." Officer Henggou had a look of begging for praise and begging for tiger touch.
"Huh? It looks like there's a little tape on it! ”
Officer Henggou came to the door with an excited face, "Sir, please see how I lock the door from the outside." ”
"Don't take a roll of tape and cut it in the right place."
Then leave a few centimeters in the next section. Fold it in half again. ”
"Then put it vertically on top of the anti-theft lock, and tightly attach the joint part to the lock."
"Closing the door."
"Finally, if you pull it out from the outside." As he spoke, Officer Henggou gently pulled the tape, and the door was easily locked.
"Finally, pull the tape out so hard that after the tape is removed, there will be no evidence."
"That's what you came up with?" Taiyi asked Officer Henggou with a puzzled face, "When did this thing's IQ become so high?" ”
"Not really." Officer Henggou touched his head embarrassedly, pointed at Conan and said, "It was this kid who inadvertently locked the door while playing with duct tape." ”
"That's why I was inspired by Conan to come up with this technique."
"Really?" Taiyi raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Conan's children are also a little useful!" ”
"Hehe~~~" Conan rolled his dead fish eyes and kept slandering in his heart, "It's like I'm really a primary school student, and it's not that I don't know my true identity, so I'm pretending to be here." ”
“…… The main problem now lies in the alibi of the six members at the time of the crime. ”
"Take the transcript you remember, and show it to me."
"Hi~~~" Officer Henggou respectfully handed out a small notebook with both hands, and explained beside him.
"Mr. Maeda was with Xiaolan and Conan at that time."
"Miss Sayama is alone, watching the video in the room."
"As for Mr. Konno, he also stayed in his room, reading the e-mails that came in."
"Miss Uejo and Mr. Mori are drinking together in a bar."
"As for Mr. Jin Cheng and Miss Lin, they are in the open-air restaurant."
“…… Gone? Taiyi asked helplessly.
"It's gone!"
"I kind of know why the police in these areas let those murderers be so rampant."
"And those messy detectives, why are they so famous."
"Even if you ask for an alibi, it turns out that all of them have an alibi, so can you tell me who the murderer is?"
Taiyi waved his hand helplessly to Officer Henggou, "Next, go and confirm if there is anything wrong with their statement, and then report it to me." ”
"Hi~~~"
"It seems that don't think about counting on these policemen, so it's okay, I want to see what evidence Xiaolan can find to prove that Mr. Maeda is innocent."
"Hey, Taiyi, why do I think you're very wrong today?"
"Huh?" Looking at Conan's thoughtful little face, "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't know, but as a detective, my detective instinct tells me that there's something very wrong with you."
"Hehe, what a dog-like nose!"
Conan didn't notice Taiyi's ridicule at all, and just asked anxiously, "Is that there?" Tell me, what new evidence do you have? ”
"Hehe~~~ I won't tell you!"
