Corpse collector in Conan

Thinking of the latest findings, after hesitating for a moment, Conan tugged on the corner of Mouri Kogoro's clothes.

"What are you doing?" Mouri Kogoro lowered his head and looked at this kid who was doing a lot of things.

Conan cleared his throat and put on an innocent voice belonging to a child: "How strange, uncle - I just went to Mrs. Sakihara's home for an adventure and found that her garage is also relatively narrow. If she is really not good at reversing, then she usually How did you drive out?"

"In addition, I went to Mr. Sakihara's study and took a look, and found some strange adhesive marks next to the socket under the desk, as if something had been taped on."

Mao Lilan was stunned after hearing this.

Conan was slightly surprised when he saw her expression: He didn't expect that it was Xiaolan who understood his hint first.

He nodded heavily towards Mao Lilan.

Then Mao Lilan covered his mouth.

Conan: "???"

The law-abiding female high school student looked around guiltily to make sure that the passers-by were busy doing their own business and no one had heard what she just said. Then she turned back and whispered: "How could you just barge into someone else's house, and what's more? The study is such an important place!”

Conan: "...?"

Is this the point? The focus should obviously be on the weird and suspicious points in this case!

He wanted to re-emphasize his focus, but he tried his best and failed to move Mao Lilan's little finger.

"..."

A primary school student fell silent into despair.

Fortunately, there was someone next to him who seemed to be sharp enough for once to understand what he didn't say.

Mouri Kogoro snorted coldly: "What are you implying? Do you think Xiaohui is also related to this bombing and murder case?"

Conan: "Uh-huh-huh!"

Mouri Kogoro punched him on the forehead: "How is it possible? She is a student I once taught. How could I not know her personality? She is a child who pursues justice and will not do such a thing."

Next to her, Mao Lilan finally heard something was wrong. She hesitantly let go of her hand: "What are you talking about?"

Conan finally breathed. He took a few breaths of sweet air and successfully finished what he wanted to say: "But my uncle knew Mrs. Sakihara in high school. Now more than ten years have passed, and people will change." ”

"Nonsense!" Mouri Kogoro gave him another slap, "You are a mere seven-year-old brat, but you are still talking about things that happened more than ten years ago. You simply don't know how to pretend to understand."

Having said that, Mouri Kogoro suddenly remembered something:

When he was a tutor for Mrs. Sakihara, this always disciplined student once showed some lively thoughts belonging to a girl and showed off to him the secret base she and her sister had - the so-called small base was her family's warehouse. A small window was opened on the warehouse, through which the garage could be seen clearly.

"..."

A series of clues and guesses were put together in his mind, and Mouri Kogoro's expression gradually changed.

…

The middle-aged detective who rarely started to use his brain first went to the Megure Police Department to inquire about the detailed transcripts of the two husbands who exchanged murders of their wives, and then went shopping in the shopping street.

After a moment of silence, Mouri Kogoro finally set off to Mrs. Sakihara's house.

"Teacher Mori?" Unlike her loveless appearance not long ago, Mrs. Sakihara's mental state has actually improved a lot at this time.

She went to the kitchen to pour drinks and serve them to the guests. Sensing that there was something wrong with the former tutor's demeanor, Mrs. Sakihara asked doubtfully: "You said just now that you have something important to ask me?"

Mouri Kogoro sighed and said solemnly: "I'm here to persuade you to surrender to the police."

Mrs. Sakihara was stunned: "...What?"

Mouri Kogoro looked solemn: "According to the transcript provided by your husband, when you were young and unmarried, your sister Miss Kanmei took away your boyfriend twice. So before you married Mr. Sakihara, you were half joking and half Tell her in a warning that if there is a third time, you will not let her go easily again.

"Actually, you have long known about the underground love affair between your sister and your husband, as well as their plan to kill your wife. So you took advantage of the situation and used a borrowed knife to kill people, making them completely disappear from your life."

Mrs. Sakihara felt in a trance as she listened to his reasoning.

...The sense of immediacy in this scene is really too strong.

As long as she changes the face of the Maori teacher in front of her, and changes the current living room background to the hospital tea room, everything will seem to go back in time - what happened a few hours ago actually reappears in front of her eyes again, just like after a rehearsal, The plot is officially staged.

...But what we see in front of us is neither the backstage of a play nor the filming scene of a TV series... In the real world, why is there such a thing as a "rehearsal"?

The ridiculous idea made Mrs. Sakihara break into a cold sweat unknowingly. She looked at Mouri Kogoro's mouth opening and closing, and listened to the almost identical reasoning in her ears. She finally couldn't help blurting out: "...you are discussing OK?"

Mouri Kogoro, who was immersed in the sad atmosphere of "students have gone bad", was stunned and didn't understand this sentence: "What do you mean?"

"..."

Mrs. Sakihara got the answer from his reaction.

——This look doesn’t look like there has been any discussion with the man in black. Moreover, Teacher Mori wouldn't joke about the murder case. It was more like he got inspiration from somewhere and saw through the case, so he came directly to find it.

There are many detectives who can reason, and there may be many detectives who can figure out this case. But every detective has his own unique reasoning habits - but now, the man in black, who was supposed to have nothing to do with the case, chose to use Teacher Maori's tone and said the same words as Teacher Maori before he could. …

Opposite him, Mouri Kogoro continued his reasoning, and Mrs. Sakihara continued to listen silently.

The further you listen, the more similarities between the words become impossible to ignore. This strange and counterintuitive phenomenon made Mrs. Sakihara's fingertips tremble for a moment.

And the image of the man in black in her mind has also been cast into an indescribable shadow from the original simple "good Samaritan who extended a helping hand to the daughter of an old friend".

"The man in black completely anticipated what is happening now, so he used his unique method to help me do a 'rehearsal' a few hours in advance?"

The thoughts in Mrs. Sakihara's mind were spinning rapidly: "Not only did he reason about this case, but he also completely predicted Teacher Mouri's unique reaction when he reasoned about this case... Is this really something that humans can do? I have occasionally paid attention to detective news over the years, but I have never heard of such a detective in Tokyo... Who is he? "
