Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Everyone in the conference room was racking their brains to think about what was used instead of the cane to commit the crime.

Conan suddenly had an idea. He knew what the cane could replace.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Just when Conan was about to remind Maori Kogoro, Mei Tsukuba pinched her chin and said in a tone that sounded like Conan who usually tried every means to remind Maori Kogoro: "You can't think of it because you limit things to long sticks like crutches. However, it seems that there are retractable crutches recently."

Conan looked at Mei Tsukuba with a serious look. There was something very wrong with this guy.

Conan could tell from Mei Tsukuba's tone that she already knew what to use to replace the crutch.

Now that you know it, why don't you just say it out loud?

Maori Kogoro slammed the table and said unhappily: "What kind of retractable cane is this? I told you it's not something an amateur can do! Stop making trouble here! Ah!"

Suddenly, Kogoro Mouri screamed, which scared Kamiya Minatsuki.

Kamiya Minatsuki asked curiously, "What's wrong, Uncle Maori? Why are you so startled?"

Minatsuki Kamiya has not yet figured out what the murderer used instead of a cane to commit the crime.

For Kamiya Minatsuki, it was too troublesome. Instead of going through all these nonsense, it was more convenient, quick and safer to wear a raincoat and just kill with a knife.

In Kamiya Minatsuki's opinion, setting up a locked room or committing a crime with complicated and troublesome procedures is like taking off pants to fart, which is a waste of time.

After all, the more complicated it is, the more clues it leaves behind.

Therefore, Kamiya Minatsuki, who was unable to empathize with the murderer, could not imagine what the murderer used instead of the crutch to hold Kenichiro Inogoshi's chair.

Maori Kogoro said excitedly: "I already know everything! Brother Kamiya!"

Inspector Megure was surprised and asked, "Brother Maori, have you solved the mystery?"

Maori Kogoro raised his head very confidently: "That's right! Now everyone follow me, let me solve the murder case of Inogoshi Kenichiro!"

Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri with suspicion.

seriously?

A group of people came to Tsukinoki Hideki's lounge again.

Maori Kogoro coughed twice, then said to Tsukinoki Hideki seriously: "Mr. Tsukinoki Hideki! Although you are not a guard now, you still carry security equipment with you, right?"

Hideki Tsukinoki, who was drinking coffee, was stunned for a moment, and his left hand subconsciously touched the baton at his waist.

Maori Kogoro excitedly pointed at the baton on Tsukinoki Hideki's waist and said, "Yes, that's it! I'm talking about the special baton that can be extended and retracted freely!"

Tsukinoki Hideki explained: "I carry this with me all year round. It has become a habit. If I don't have it with me, I always feel uncomfortable."

To relieve the pressure, Tsukinoki Hideki took a sip of coffee and asked, "What's wrong with the baton, Mr. Maori?"

Maori Kogoro put his hands on his hips and said, "It's no use playing dumb with me. I think you stretched out the baton and let it press against the chair where Mr. Igoe's body was sitting, then tilted the chair, closed the door little by little, and then pulled out the baton to create a secret room! Am I right?"

Kamiya Minatsuki is now certain that Kogoro Mori must have been secretly working hard somewhere he doesn't know!

Officer Megure put his hands in his pockets and said to Tsukinoki Hideki with a sense of oppression: "Please cooperate with us and hand over the baton to us immediately, Mr. Tsukinoki!"

Officer Takagi explained to Tsukinoki Hideki: "We need to check the end of the baton to see if it matches the mark on the chair. Please hand over the baton."

Tsukinoki Hideki put down his coffee and said, "Okay, that's no problem, but my baton was just stolen!"

Maori Kogoro said in a strange voice: "What? It was stolen, then what happened to the baton on your waist? Don't lie with your eyes open!"

Tsukinoki Hideki took off the baton from his waist and said, "I went to the toilet shortly after entering the lounge. I left my baton in the lounge and it was stolen. However, I just saw that it was put back. I don't know who did such a strange thing."

Everyone looked at Tsukinoki Hideki with strange expressions as he spoke nonsense in all seriousness. Who would believe him?

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "Do you think we will believe this excuse you gave?!"

Tsukinoki Hideki said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, officer, what do you mean by this? Let me ask you, I have an alibi, right? At the time of the crime, I was with many people. In any case, wasn't it you, the police, who confirmed this, dear officer?"

Inspector Megure was choked up, and all his energy was gone: "Well, well..."

Tsukinoki Hideki looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "Also, Mr. Maori, I am really disappointed in you. Is this the strength of the legendary detective, the sleeping Kogoro?"

Kogoro Mori glared at Hideki Tsukinoki angrily.

Kamiya Minazuki suggested quietly, "Uncle Maori, how about I go and beat him up so you can vent your anger?"

Conan became anxious when he heard this.

Kamiya Minatsuki is going to have a meal, but it can’t be just a simple meal.

Conan quickly said: "Oh, yeah, after all, the time of the crime..."

Before Conan could finish, Mei Tsukuba took over and said, "It was determined based on the broken pocket watch, and the pocket watch was damaged by the murderer's weapon, which means..."

Mei Tsukuba was halfway through her words when she suddenly stopped talking.

Maori Kogoro became excited again: "I know!"

Conan frowned and looked at Mei Tsukuba. This girl was guiding Kogoro Mori just like him!

Maori Kogoro told Inspector Megure: "The murderer broke the pocket watch in advance and set the pointer to 2:50 in the afternoon, making us think that was the time of the crime!"

Inspector Megure also realized: "That's right! And after killing Mr. Ikoshi, he put the pocket watch into the dead man's pocket!"

Maori Kogoro nodded and said, "That's right! In other words, the real time of the crime should be earlier than 2:50!"

Officer Megure ordered Officers Takagi and Chiba: "Takagi, Chiba, go reconfirm their alibis immediately!"

Kamiya Minatsuki said to the stunned Tsukinoki Hideki in a sarcastic tone: "Oh my, are some people still disappointed? They should be disappointed too, right? If the time of the crime is confirmed and your alibi is invalid, then the nonsense you just said will be useless~"
