Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Conan and Haibara Ai came to Kenichiro Inogoshi's lounge.

Conan wants to investigate further in this lounge.

Huiyuan Ai asked Conan: "Do you have any idea now?"

Conan, who had already looked everywhere, replied, "No."

Huihara Ai was almost speechless because of Conan: "I am talking to you!"

Conan suddenly found a stone next to the window: "What is that?"

Conan and Haibara Ai climbed up to the window and watched from close range.

Two pieces of paper were pressed under the stone.

Conan took out his phone and filmed it, then asked Huihara Ai: "There wasn't this thing here just now, right?"

Huihara Ai confirmed: "Well, this is a page from a magazine, it's torn."

Conan observed and analyzed: "Looking at this piece of paper and the printing conditions, it should be from the same magazine. After investigating the scene, there should have been guards guarding the door of this lounge."

Following Conan's words, Huiyuan Ai also guessed: "In order to avoid being discovered by others, he should have put the things in through the window from outside."

Conan nodded and said, "Well, the question is who put this thing here and for what purpose, and it was placed here after the crime happened."

"Maybe it was the murderer's provocation. Some murderers are like this. After killing someone, they deliberately leave a note to provoke in order to show that their crime method is impeccable."

Kamiya Minatsuki's head suddenly appeared outside the window, scaring Conan and Haibara Ai.

Conan said angrily: "You appear and disappear like a ghost, you are going to scare people to death!"

Kamiya Minatsuki snorted, "If you have nothing to hide, why are you afraid of ghosts? It was your beloved sister Xiaolan who asked me to do this. You two are missing, and I was worried that you might cause trouble at the crime scene, so I came to look for you and keep an eye on you."

Conan rolled his eyes at Kamiya Minazuki: "Don't you know whether I am messing around or not?"

Kamiya Minetsuki sneered: "Don't you like to mess around the most? By the way, how is the case going? Is there any progress?"

Conan shook his head: "No, not yet. We are still investigating, but we have to go look for it somewhere."

Conan, Haibara Ai and Kamiya Minatsuki came to the escape stairs at the murder scene of Junko Hishida and searched carefully step by step.

On the first step, Huibara cried out, "Found it!"

Kamiya Minatsuki and Conan came to Haibara Ai.

There is also a stone on this step, with two pieces of paper pressed on it.

Conan immediately took out his phone and started filming: "Sure enough, it's the same magazine page? And below is... Is this a magazine article?"

Huihara Ai, who often reads magazines, observed: "I think this should be the cover page of the magazine."

Conan stared at the two pieces of paper: "On top or on the bottom, I think this stacking method also has meaning."

Huiyuan Ai asked: "Anyway, there should be some clues here, right?"

Conan nodded, "Yeah."

At this moment, a female voice sounded: "I say, if you find any clues, it would be better to tell Mr. Maori as soon as possible, right?"

Mei Tsukuba appeared in the sight of Conan, Haibara Ai and Kamiya Minatsuki.

Conan frowned and looked at Mei Tsukuba. This guy is very weird.

Kamiya Minazuki, with a cigarette in his mouth, also looked at Tsukuba Mei, and then asked directly: "That stone in the lounge, and this stone, were you the one who put them there?"

Mei Tsukuba's expression froze, but she recovered immediately and said with a smile: "How is this possible? Mr. Maori is my idol, so I also like reasoning, so I am also trying to find clues and make inferences myself."

Kamiya Minatsuki narrowed his eyes and looked at Tsukuba Mei: "Oh? Really?"

Mei Tsukuba said, "I'll go somewhere else to see if there are any clues," and then left immediately.

Kamiya Minatsuki looked down at Conan and asked, "Hey, kid, does that guy look like the murderer?"

Conan looked at Mei Tsukuba's back as she left and said, "I don't know, but... I feel something is weird. I feel like these two murders have nothing to do with her, but I also feel like she's trying to get close to us on purpose."

Hearing Conan's words, Kamiya Minatsuki raised his eyebrows.

Does Conan feel that Mei Tsukuba has nothing to do with these two murders?

Conan is not Kogoro Mori, so there is no such thing as Mori's method of elimination. If Conan thinks that there is no problem with Mei Tsukuba, then there is a high probability that there is really no problem.

Conan, Haibara Ai and Kamiya Minatsuki found Kogoro Mouri who was having a meeting with Inspector Megure and others in the conference room.

Conan showed Kogoro Mouri the photos he had just taken on his phone.

Maori Kogoro glanced at it and said, "Why are you showing this to me?"

"I think there might be clues here."

"Hmm, what clue?"

“Well, I haven’t thought of that yet.”

Maori Kogoro said disdainfully: "Really, you little brat are looking for this kind of useless thing again. I think this must be someone's prank. I'm very busy! Don't bother me! Hurry, go away."

Conan took his phone back in frustration, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Tsukuba Mei standing at the door of the meeting room, looking at Mouri Kogoro with a somewhat gloomy look.

Maori Kogoro said to Inspector Megure: "I'm so sorry, Inspector Megure, is there any result?"

Inspector Megure replied, "Well, I think your reasoning is correct, Brother Maori. The murderer should have used this method to create a secret room. But if the murderer didn't use a cane to support the chair where the corpse sat, then what did he use?"

Maori Kogoro used his 'smart' brain to think: "Well, I have been thinking about this problem just now, but..."

Inspector Megure asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Maori Kogoro said in a serious tone: "No, not yet!"

Inspector Megure almost fell off his chair because of Kogoro Mori's answer.

Officer Takagi looked at Kamiya Minatsuki and asked curiously, "Mr. Kamiya, what about you? Do you have any clues?"

Kamiya Kaitsuki answered confidently: "Absolutely not!"

Officer Takagi was also staggered by Kamiya Minatsuki's answer and almost fell to the ground.

Officer Megure, Officer Takagi, and Officer Chiba's eyes twitched. Are these master and apprentice really reliable?

After Officer Megure sat firmly, he coughed and said, "Anyway, the current situation is that all the staff have alibis. If we don't solve this mystery, we won't be able to continue the investigation."

Everyone racked their brains to think about what the murderer used instead of a cane to commit the crime.
