Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Mei Tsukuba proposed the idea of ​​postponing the speech, which was agreed by Inspector Megure.

Officer Megure agreed: "Okay then."

Then Inspector Megure asked, "Brother Maori, since you have made such a boast, do you already know who the murderer is?"

Maori Kogoro said very confidently: "Of course, I have solved the mystery of the secret room!"

Officer Megure was shocked and asked, "Really?"

Kamiya Minazuki curled his lips slightly. Really? Really? He took off his head and gave it to everyone present to kick around.

Bragging, Kogoro Mori's level has always been quite high.

Mei Tsukuba squatted behind Conan and Haibara Ai again, looking at Maori Kogoro and exclaimed: "How amazing! He is worthy of being a famous detective. He figured it out in such a short time."

Conan was so embarrassed that his toes were clenched together. He laughed dryly, "Yeah, that's right."

Maori Kogoro said to Officer Megure: "Officer Megure, please gather all the relevant personnel here immediately."

"Okay, I got it, Takagi!"

Officer Megure verbally said he understood, but it was still Officer Takagi who did the work.

Officer Takagi said "yes" and immediately went to gather people.

Conan said to Huiyuan Ai beside him: "Although the murderer's method of creating the secret room is indeed not very complicated, I am still not sure who the murderer is."

Huihara Ai also said: "Also, I haven't seen the boss yet, which is a bit strange."

Conan was also very surprised that he hadn't seen Junko Hishida: "Yeah, that's right."

Kamiya Minatsuki walked up to Conan and said to him with a smile: "Come on~"

Conan rolled his eyes immediately. This guy must be treating him as a tool to solve the case.

Soon, all the people except the spectators were gathered together by Officer Takagi.

Maori Kogoro stood in front of everyone and said, "Well, first of all, before I tell you my reasoning, Chiba, have you confirmed their alibi?"

Officer Chiba began to report to Maori Kogoro: "I have confirmed that at 2:50 pm when the crime occurred, except for one person, everyone else had an alibi. Several of them were in the same place at the time."

"Yes!" Maori Kogoro nodded and continued to ask: "Then who is the remaining person?"

Officer Chiba replied, "It was Mr. Reizumi Shigekichi, the former manager of the Hishida Theater, who was alone in the lounge."

Everyone looked at Reizumi Mokichi.

Maori Kogoro raised his lips slightly and said confidently: "Yes, the murderer is you, Mr. Reizumi Mokichi! Mr. Ikoshi just stopped you like he was in a TV drama, and you were very dissatisfied with it, so you killed him to vent your anger!"

Kamiya Minatsuki understood in his heart that Reizei Mokichi was ruled out.

Maori Kogoro continued: "And the prop used to create that secret room is the cane that you, Mr. Reizei, usually use!"

Inspector Megure was very shocked: "Using a cane to create a secret room? How did you do that?"

“Let’s put this into practice!”

Under the guidance of Kogoro Mori, they came to a lounge.

"This place has basically the same structure as the lounge where Mr. Inokoshi is, Takagi, Chiba!"

Under the command of Kogoro Mori, Officers Takagi and Chiba began the demonstration.

Officer Chiba sat on the chair, and then Officer Takagi dragged the chair to the door. When closing the door, he used his crutch to support the back of the chair, and then when he was about to close the door, he pulled out the crutch.

Officer Takagi closed the door, and when he tried to open it again, because the door was propped up by a chair and Officer Chiba was very heavy, Officer Takagi could only open a small gap.

Inspector Megure and others understood this tactic.

Maori Kogoro continued, "But if you push the door hard, it should be able to open further. After all, Mr. Ikoshi's body is quite heavy. Using this method, it is enough to make a simple secret room."

Conan nodded slightly. There was nothing wrong with Kogoro Mouri's demonstration technique.

Kamiya Minatsuki looked at Mouri Kogoro in astonishment. How come he suddenly became so smart?

They agreed to play together, but Kogoro Mouri actually left him behind and made secret progress?

Isn't this forcing him to take off his head and kick it like a ball?

At this moment, a hand stretched out from the crack of the open door: "I have a question!"

The owner of this hand is Mei Tsukuba.

Officer Chiba stood up from his chair and let Mei Tsukuba enter the lounge.

Mei Tsukuba said "thank you" and continued, "Just now I helped Mr. Reizei to the rest room. He looked very tired at the time, and he was also very old. It was unlikely that he could complete these series of actions."

Huihara Ai agreed with Mei Tsukuba's words: "She is right. Putting the dead man with a burly figure on a chair and dragging him over, then tilting the chair and supporting it with a cane, this is indeed very physically demanding."

Mao Lilan also agreed: "That's right, he shouldn't be able to do these, right?"

While everyone was guessing whether Reizei Mokichi was the murderer, Kamiya Minatsuki had already started looking at other suspects.

But... there are too many people this time.

Now sitting on the chair, Reizumi Mokichi closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "As expected of a famous detective, he really makes me convinced."

"Eh?"

Kamiya Minetsuki looked at Reizumi Mokichi in shock: "Hey, is that true?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at Mokichi Reizumi excitedly. Could it be that today would be his highlight moment when he was sober?

Even Conan looked incredulous.

Reizumi Mokichi opened his eyes, put his hands on the table and said, "I knew that my use of the cane would be discovered sooner or later, but... I killed another person, not him."

When Maori Kogoro heard what Reizumi Mokichi said, he staggered and suspected that he had heard it wrongly: "What did you say?"

Reizumi Shigekichi replied: "I killed Hishida Junko, not anyone else!"

Minatsuki Kamiya breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was correct. Kenichiro Inogoshi was not killed by Shigekichi Reizumi. Shigekichi Reizumi killed another person. The murderer who killed Kenichiro Inogoshi was someone else, and Kogoro Mori just happened to meet him.

As for the person that Reizei Shigeyoshi killed, it should be Junko Hishida who has not appeared yet.

But it is also shocking, this case seems to have two murderers, this is the first time~

Based on Mokichi Reizumi's confession, the police began to investigate his crime and collect relevant evidence. On the rooftop of the theater, they found Junko Hishida lying in a pool of blood.

There was a circular mark on Junko Hishida's neck, which was compared with the tip of Mokichi Reizei's cane and was an exact match.

At the same time, with the consent of Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mori's speech will be postponed for one hour.
