A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 87
"What else did Mr. Maori say? Did he point out who the murderer was?"

"Well, uncle told me directly."

"who is it."

Henggou Sango asked excitedly, he now very much believes that the child in front of him can reason on behalf of Mori Kogoro.

Conan's scrutinizing gaze swept over everyone in the room, and finally landed on the three students of Masami Hirota.

"Mr. Bai Cang, you are the murderer."

Everyone's eyes turned to Bai Cangming, with scrutiny in their eyes. Although Bai Cangming looked nervous, he didn't speak in a panic.

"Why me?"

"If you're right, you've already been to this study once today, not long before we arrived."

"Bai Cang, why did you kill Teacher?"

"It's ridiculous that you police would believe what a child says."

Bai Cangming did not panic, but instead set his sights on the policemen on the field, trying to guide them to self-doubt.

It's a pity that what he didn't expect was that Police Officer Henggou's admiration and admiration for Mori Kogoro deeply believed in what Conan said.

"Conan, do you have any evidence to prove that Mr. Shirakura killed Professor Hirota?"

"Of course, I think the reason why Mr. Bai Cang returned to the scene of the crime is probably to destroy the evidence. I'm right, Mr. Bai Cang!"

"You... talking nonsense... what, I told you on the phone that you are here to visit the teacher?"

Bai Cangming seemed to be named by someone, and his words were mixed with tension.

"You did come to visit Professor Hirota at the beginning, but for some reason, you picked up the trophy and smashed him to death in a fit of anger, which you didn't expect beforehand."

"By the time you realize it, it's too late. Professor Hirota has already fallen in front of you. In desperation, you use the method I just demonstrated to turn this study into a secret room."

"I believe that you, who can come up with such a wonderful technique, will not leave any fingerprints on that trophy, but there is still one thing at the scene that has your fingerprints."

"What is it?"

Officer Henggou cooperated with Conan's speculation very well, and reminded everyone of his existence in a timely manner. At this time, cold sweat began to appear on Shira Cangming's forehead.

"That's the tape that was in the phone, it's got fingerprints on it that you can't wipe off, I think you didn't discover the loophole until shortly after you left.

"When I wanted to come back to destroy it, I discovered our existence, and we had already discovered Professor Hirota's death, and we called the police. I guess we haven't retrieved the tape."

After Bai Cang heard Conan's reasoning, his face was already extremely pale, and the eyes that looked at Conan revealed disbelief. When he committed the crime, the child seemed to have personally experienced it at the scene.

"Go and check the tape to see if there are any fingerprints left."

"No need, I admit that I killed Mr. Hirota, and my fingerprints are indeed left on the tape, and the process is exactly the same as what this kid said."

Bai Cangming bowed his head and admitted the fact that he had killed someone. At this time, he was already dying to refute.

"Haha, Mr. Mori is really good. He can help us solve cases as far away as Tokyo. He is a well-deserved detective."

Henggou Sanwu still gave the credit to the uncle, and the uncle who was sleeping in the Tokyo office seemed to have a feeling, with a smug expression on his face.

"Professor Hirota is a well-known professor at Nanyang University. I think he should have a good reputation. Why would you kill your own teacher?"

"What's the use of saying this now, Teacher Hirota has hidden some embarrassing photos of me when I was in school, this time I came here just to get back those photos, I didn't expect that the teacher would not give it to me, and did something stupid in a hurry. "

For this kind of impulsive killing, people often feel extremely regretful after the accident, just like Bai Cangming now, unfortunately, we cannot save the life of the deceased, we only hope to warn our future self to think twice before acting.

"Jingle Bell"

The phone at Professor Hirota's house rang at this moment, and Henggou Sango, who was standing beside him, turned on the loudspeaker and answered the call.

"Hey, who are you, who are you looking for?"

"Is it a courier company?"

"No, you made a mistake."

The other party hung up the phone instantly, and the smile on Conan's face froze. Although the other party's voice on the phone changed, he was very sensitive to voices. This person was called by the person named Vodka.

Conan ran downstairs quickly, wanting to inform Noah and them of the incident, only to find that the three of them had fallen asleep leaning against each other.

Step up and shake them awake.

"What's the matter, is it over? Can we go now?"

A confused voice came from Noah's mouth. He waited too long and accidentally fell asleep.

"It's over, the murderer has pleaded guilty, but just now Vodka called. They really have their eyes on Masami Hirota, but it's a pity that they were one step too late."

"Oh"

……Gone?I have worked so hard to report the letter, but you just respond with this attitude, at least give me a response, is this worthy of my being so caring?
It was indeed very late. The case was delayed for nearly three hours. It was already early in the morning when Noah and the others went back. The disk was brought back, but they borrowed the name of the uncle.

"Doctor, can I drive it? I'm afraid you'll be really late for school if you drive it like this."

"No, it's all said that you are underage, and tomorrow is not a rest, how can you be late."

???

Noah's face was full of question marks. Do you have a rest tomorrow? Why don't you know? He turned around and asked Hui Yuan who was dozing off next to him.

Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well at Hirota's house, and Haibara was a little depressed, but he still gave an affirmative answer, and there was indeed no class tomorrow.

...It's only been two days of class. I don't feel like I'm in class yet. You rested again. No wonder your grades can't improve in school. If you follow this schedule, good grades will be evil.

……

Although it was not as exaggerated as Noah said, it was already four o'clock in the morning when they arrived in Tokyo. After Noah returned home, he fell asleep without saying a word.

Compared to Noah, Huiyuan was in a very good spirit. She slept comfortably on the back seat of the car, using Noah's thigh as a pillow, and woke up home.

Sitting at the desk in the room, thinking about what Conan said today that the organization called Professor Hirota, I thought that the organization must be searching for traces of myself now.

Even if she is getting smaller now, she can't take it lightly. The organization's database still has photos of her when she was a child. If she is found out, she and the people around her will no longer exist.

Thinking of the floppy disk he brought back today, Huiyuan picked it up and plugged it into the computer in the room to check it.

……

"What did you say, the data disappeared!"

"Well, I didn't expect that the floppy disk could not be logged in on other computers, otherwise it would be destroyed automatically. Fortunately, no trace was left."

"Then why did we go out to other places so hard yesterday, to solve the case?"

Early in the morning, when Conan got the news from Huiyuan, he was struck by lightning, and his hope of recovery was shattered again.
