"Xiaowei!" The middle-aged woman looked at Xiaowei nervously, wanting to say something, but she endured it. "Mom!" Xiao Wei responded in a low voice, but his eyes didn't dare to look at her.

After looking at Xiaowei for a while, but she didn't get the answer she wanted, the middle-aged woman turned to look at Xiaogoro directly. "It's me, I cut this pennant!"

After hearing her words, everyone was stunned, and then Xiaowei stretched his mother open with one hand and took out a utility knife from his pocket. "It's me! That's what I cut with this! ”

Kogoro glanced at the excited Xiaowei, and then wrapped his hand in a handkerchief, picked up the utility knife he handed over, and then took it to his eyes and observed it carefully.

He slowly pushed the blade out, and found a little bit of debris in the cracks. With a little force, Kogoro shook the pieces into the palm of his other hand.

After a little recognition, Kogoro recognized that it was indeed a scrap of fabric of the same color as the pennant. After getting Kogoro's affirmative answer, everyone surrounded Xiaowei excitedly.

In the face of everyone's questioning, Xiaowei just lowered his head silently and did not make any rebuttals. In the case that someone voluntarily admits it, they naturally don't need Kogoro to continue the investigation.

The management of Shujo High School, which is now in school, and the relevant personnel, talked in a conference room, and invited Kogoro out as a 'polite'.

Although Xiaowei took the initiative to admit it, Xiaogoro still felt that something was very wrong. Not only are there still doubts that have not been solved, but Xiaowei's motives are also very thin.

As the main pitcher of the high school baseball club, Xiaowei was the most important person who helped them win the championship in the last regional baseball game.

As a baseball pitcher, Xiaowei's fancy for this honor can be imagined will not be low, but now he says that he has abandoned that honor for this reason.

In addition, he said that he has not been in form recently, but based on Kogoro's previous viewing of the game, before the fifth round, he played very well, but then suddenly changed.

What happened during that period caused him to change so much, and even deliberately shielded the prisoner, you can know that there must be some key reason for it, and he has not yet discovered it.

In order to get more information, he went to the chairman's office again where the winning pennant was placed. The doorway was guarded by the previous caretaker, but now he was dozing off on a bench.

After thinking about it, Kogoro woke up the administrator anyway. After explaining the situation, he let Kogoro and Conan in.

After looking at the office again, and after discovering nothing else, Kogoro walked directly to the pennant, and after he opened it and looked at it, he immediately understood who the prisoner was.

But then, his brow furrowed. Although through this pennant, he knew who the prisoner who cut the pennant was, but what reason did the other party have to do it? Kogoro was puzzled by this.

Seeing that he had been staring blankly at the pennant, the administrator said something to himself. "Actually, it's nothing, anyway, the chairman has long planned to not let the baseball club participate in this game."

After hearing his words, Kogoro was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean by that?" Hearing Kogoro suddenly reply and ask, the administrator was also slightly stunned.

"Ah, that's right. The policy set by the chairman of the board of directors for the school is to focus on further education. Last year's baseball game, although it became the regional champion, it also went to the national competition. ”

"But because of this, there are also a large number of students who spontaneously go to cheer, which eventually leads to a slight decline in their test scores, which directly reduces the admission rate of the school, and the chairman is very dissatisfied with this."

So this year, he's going to stop them from racing. He was going to come this morning, but for some reason, he hasn't come yet. ”

After hearing his explanation, Kogoro immediately understood the reason why the prisoner was doing this. Then he went to inform everyone that he was here to unravel the truth of the matter.

Although speaking out hurts those members of the baseball club, as well as the many students who support them. But the truth of all this should not be buried like this.

And Xiaowei, who took the initiative to bear the responsibility for this incident, is also innocent, isn't he? Speaking out is also a responsibility to him, to his mother, to all those who have ever trusted him.

Soon, the people who had previously held a discussion in the conference room gathered again in the office of the chairman.

"Mr. Mori, your job is over, I'll settle your payment later!" The headmaster looked at Kogoro tightly, wanting to put an end to this matter.

"No, because the real culprit has not been found yet!" Hearing Kogoro's words, the principal's brow furrowed tightly. "But hasn't Xiaowei already admitted that he did this?"

"It's just that he thinks the prisoner is his mother and wants to take it for her." "What! That's what Xiaowei's mother did!? "No, it's not!"

After Kogoro's explanation, everyone was even more puzzled. Seeing the gaze of everyone, he walked straight to the pennant and turned his back to everyone.

He pulled up the upper right corner of the pennant with his left hand, held it up with his right hand, and drew it above the brocade flag. "You see, if the prisoner is holding a knife in his right hand to cut the pennant, then it is impossible to draw such a cut mark on the top left and down the right at all."

"To achieve such a cut, only the right hand tightens the pennant, and the left hand holds the knife to cut." With that, he changed hands and demonstrated it again.

"That's right, from this point of view, the prisoner is a left-hander." After hearing this, everyone's eyes turned straight to Jiang Teng.

In the face of everyone's angry questioning, although Eto tried his best to refute, it was useless, so Kogoro spoke directly. "Although he has sufficient motives for revenge, he is not the one who cuts the pennant!"

This time, everyone was confused. It's not Xiaowei, it's not his mother, it's not Jiang Teng, who else can do it, everyone's eyes once again converged on Xiao Goro's body.

"Look at the cut in this pennant. When it comes to cutting, most of us come to the place where we are handy, and in terms of my height, this is it. ”

As he spoke, Kogoro's left hand was raised directly. Seeing the place where his left hand was placed, everyone immediately understood. "The taller you are, the higher you will be able to draw down."

"Judging from the position where the front pennant is cut, the prisoner is a left-handed man who is about 1.6 meters tall." As he spoke, he set his eyes on the headmaster.
