Conan: The Master Behind the Scenes

"First of all, this is definitely not a case of burglary and murder!" Bai Shiwu said decisively

"Why?" Zhongyuan Xiang asked

"Although there were many traces of being pried with a knife on the door lock of the safe in the room, the pure gold label on the wrist of the deceased was still intact on it, which can prove that this was just a trick by the murderer to rob and kill people!"Bai Shiwu deduced

"Then, why do you say the murderer is among the four of us?" Zhongyuan Xiang asked hurriedly

"You can see this by looking at the footprints left on the snow outside the window." said Shiraishi Takeshi

"Feet, footprints! ?"

"What does it mean?"

"Don’t the footprints outside the window mean that a criminal broke into the house and robbed it?

Everyone was confused.

"Wrong, look carefully, aren't the footprints outside heading straight towards the room? If it was really a criminal who was greedy for money and happened to see the deceased watching TV alone and had evil thoughts, shouldn't he have carefully observed the situation in the house from the left and right outside the window, and sneaked into the room after making sure that no one else was present?" Bai Shiwu asked back

"really……"Everyone nodded

"But, does this have anything to do with the murderer being among the four of them?"Xiao Lan asked with a puzzled look on her face

"Yes, that's right!"

"Even if it wasn't a robbery, why would the murderer have to be among the four of us?" Nakahara Xiang was confused.

"No! Think about it carefully."

Bai Shiwu pinched Xiaolan's nose lovingly and said confidently:"The time of death of the deceased was probably between 9:30 and 10 o'clock in the evening. The footsteps left outside the window walked straight towards this room. It seems that he clearly knew that at this time, the deceased would stay in this room alone to watch the unit drama, so... the murderer is among you!"

"How, how is it possible! ?"

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence, this must be a coincidence!"

"Are you serious, Mr. Detective?"

"In this case, let's look at each of your alibis between 9:30 and 10:00! Let's start with Miss Nakahara Kaori!"Sai Shiraishi said.

"I went to the convenience store at the foot of the mountain at that time! I left at nine o'clock, and came back around nine-fifty, and then I stayed with everyone the whole time!"

Nakahara Xiang said, taking out a piece of paper with the snacks everyone needed recorded:"Before we set off, everyone asked me to buy snacks, except for the salad and ice cream that were sold out, I bought them all, this is the evidence!"

"Oh, by the way, it takes at least 40 minutes to get to the convenience store at the foot of the mountain from here!"

"Okay, I see. Then what about Mr. Ginji Tobita?" Shiraishi Takeshi looked over.

"I went skiing! And it takes 40 minutes to go back and forth to the ski resort. The departure and return time are the same as Xiangzi. This is the ticket I just bought. The date and time should be printed on it!"Ginji Tobita took out a ski resort ticket.

This ticket was indeed released at 9:25 tonight.

"At that time, I was alone in the living room, washing, clearing the table and preparing dinner. During that time, I also went out to throw away the garbage. I don't have any other alibis.……"Jiangnan Guobu's voice became lower and lower

"Well, what about Mr. Jin Zhengzhikang?"Bai Shiwu asked the last person

"As for me, I have been taking a bath in my room from nine o'clock to ten o'clock!" Jin Zhengzhikang touched his head and explained.

"At present, it seems that Miss Jiangnan Guobu and Mr. Jin Zhengzhikang are highly suspected, and what you said cannot be used as an alibi at all!"Bai Shiwu stared at the four people in front of him with sharp eyes and thought.

"But, but I really can't be the murderer? How could I kill the teacher?"Jiang Nanguo was panicking.

"Yes, yes! I have been with my teacher for ten years. Killing my teacher will not benefit me at all!"Jin Zhengzhikang also hurriedly explained

"Hmm? What is this!?"

Bai Shiwu suddenly noticed a blood-stained rectangle on the sofa in the room.

"A lighter covered in blood? Why is it here?"

Bai Shiwu was puzzled and reached out to pick up the lighter. Then he thought of the tablecloth covered in blood. Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Bai Shiwu took the lighter and walked to the tablecloth.

After comparing it, he adjusted the position of the tablecloth and finally found the position that matched the blood stain on the lighter at the bottom left of the tablecloth.

"This should be the death message left by the deceased. Although I don't know what this death message means, I should be able to determine who is the real murderer among the four of them!"

Bai Shiwu stood up under the tense gaze of everyone, with a confident smile on his face.

"This expression!!!"

Xiaolan's beautiful eyes moved, her pretty face was full of excitement and surprise, and she couldn't help asking:"Wu, you, do you already know who the real murderer is?"

""What, what!?" Everyone exclaimed and looked at Bai Shiwu hurriedly.

Bai Shiwu's dark eyes flickered, his spirits were high, and he nodded and said:"Yes, I do know who the real murderer is!"

"The real murderer! ?"

"What!?"

"Who is it, who is it, who killed the teacher, Detective Shiraishi! ?" Nakahara Kaori asked excitedly

""Ms. Xiangzi, is it true that you no longer have the receipt for the snacks you bought at the convenience store?" Bai Shiwu asked playfully.

"Ah, what, the receipt, I…I lost it!"

Nakahara explained nervously.���With one expression on his face, he shouted,"Bai, Detective Shiraishi, what do you mean by this!?"

"How much did you spend on these snacks?" Bai Shiwu ignored Zhong Yuanxiang's question and continued to ask

"This - I, I." Zhongyuan Xiang hesitated.

"Huh? You forgot about it right after you bought it?" Shiraishi Takeshi said playfully.

"Yes! I just forgot it!" Nakahara Xiang shouted

"No, I think you didn't forget, but you don't know it at all!" Bai Shiwu said decisively

"What's the meaning!?"

"Detective Shiraishi, what, what's going on?"

"Xiangzi you——？"

(I’m back! This day was really tiring, hot and tiring, super hot! Oh, by the way, I might incorporate a little bit of the plot of the Kindaichi Case Files, yeah, that’s it!)
