Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Officers Takagi and Chiba went back to check everyone's alibis.

Soon, Officers Takagi and Chiba came back with what they had investigated.

Officer Chiba reported: "We initially thought that the crime happened at 2:50 p.m., but the people who saw Mr. Tsukinoki were the owner of the event company, Naoya Kadohazu, and the staff member, Mr. Amagi. And 10 minutes earlier, neither of them had seen Mr. Tsukinoki!"

Officer Takagi continued, "I have also asked other relevant personnel, and they also said they have not seen it."

Everyone's eyes turned to Tsukinoki Hideki.

Kamiya Minazuki gloated: "Some people are going to be unlucky, but I won't tell you who it is. Whose baton was stolen and then returned by itself?"

Conan, Haibara Ai, Inspector Megure and others looked at Kamiya Minatsuki speechlessly.

The tone is so vulgar, how is it different from calling someone names?

Officer Megure stared at Tsukinoki Hideki and asked, "Can you explain it, Mr. Tsukinoki?"

When Tsukinoki Hideki leaned forward, something on the left collar of his shirt flashed in the sunlight.

Tsukinoki Hideki defended himself: "I, what can I explain, Mr. Officer? You can't think that I am the murderer just because no one saw me."

Officer Megure was stunned for a moment: "Of course not."

Minatsuki Kamiya pointed at the baton in Tsukinoki Hideki's hand and said gloatingly: "I guess your baton must match the dent on the chair, so you'd better find a new explanation~ As a suspect, unless you can prove that someone took your baton or prove that your baton can fly, your explanation will not be accepted, Mr. Murderer."

Tsukinoki Hideki was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He said stubbornly, "I, I am not the murderer! Besides, how can I prove it? Someone took my baton and returned it. It's obviously a frame-up. Shouldn't the police be responsible for investigating such things?"

Mei Tsukuba suddenly pointed her finger at Tsukinoki Hideki and said, "So what's that shiny thing on your shirt collar?!"

Tsukinoki Hideki turned his head and glanced at the left collar, seeing a small piece of glass fragments.

Mei Tsukuba continued, "I think that might be the glass fragment of the pocket watch that was damaged by the murder weapon!"

Tsukinoki Hideki was suddenly shocked and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

Mei Tsukuba saw Tsukinoki Hideki's expression and smiled confidently: "Then it is the evidence we are looking for. If the pocket watch was damaged in the pocket of the deceased, the fragments would not fly everywhere. This means that the pocket watch was damaged outside the pocket. So the person who has the pocket watch fragments on his body can only be the murderer who damaged the pocket watch!"

Mei Tsukuba looked at Kogoro Maori beside her and said, "Am I right, Mr. Maori?"

Maori Kogoro came back to his senses from his daze and said awkwardly: "You, you are right."

Kamiya Minatsuki looked at Tsukuba Mei strangely.

No, why did all the limelight go to this Mei Tsukuba?

And looking at Conan's expression, it was obvious that Mei Tsukuba was right.

This unknown guy actually overshadowed Conan and stole all the limelight. There is a problem... There must be a problem!

In order to save his own face, Maori Kogoro coughed and said to Inspector Megure: "I was just about to talk to you about this issue, Inspector Megure."

After saying this, Kogoro Maori turned his head away guiltily and used laughter to hide his embarrassment.

Inspector Megure looked at Maori Kogoro speechlessly, and then asked Tsukinoki Hideki: "Is what she said true, Mr. Tsukinoki?"

Tsukinoki Hideki's facial expression kept changing, and finally he slowly knelt on the ground and began to follow the procedure, covering his face and crying.

"I, I can't forgive him, I can't forgive him!"

According to Hideki Tsukinoki's confession, a year ago, when he was protecting Kenichiro Inogoshi, he caught a woman who was following Kenichiro Inogoshi, but this woman was actually Kenichiro Inogoshi's ex-girlfriend.

This ex-girlfriend was abused by Kenichiro Inogoshi, and she followed Kenichiro Inogoshi to demand compensation and an apology.

After Hideki Tsukinoki explained the situation to the police, Kenichiro Inogoshi's ex-girlfriend was released.

However, Kenichiro Inogoshi was unhappy, and not only fired Hideki Tsukinoki, he also spread rumors that he was a loser, which almost caused the security company run by Hideki Tsukinoki to go bankrupt.

The two murderers, Tsukinoki Hideki and Reizumi Mokichi, were taken away together.

Minatsuki Kamiya and Kogoro Mori were leaning against the wall, smoking cigarettes with a somewhat depressed look on their faces.

Maori Kogoro frowned and said, "Why do I seem to have nothing to do today? Two murders happened at the same time, and I don't even feel sleepy at all."

Kamiya Minatsuki exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "We solved the case so easily? This shouldn't be the case. That brat didn't put in any effort at all."

"You're awesome, Mei! You're not inferior to the famous detective at all!"

Minatsuki Kamiya and Kogoro Mori looked to the side at the same time and saw Furui Noriho and Amaki Kosuke praising Tsukuba Mei.

Kogoro Mouri looked very unhappy, as if his limelight had been stolen and he even said that he was not as good as a little girl. It was really too much!

Kamiya Minatsuki felt a little strange. What was going on with this woman?

It seemed that all of Mei Tsukuba's behaviors were extremely strange, but nothing happened.

Conan also looked at Tsukuba Mei solemnly. This person's reasoning ability is indeed good, but he also feels that Tsukuba Mei is very strange.

Ai Huihara noticed Conan's gaze towards Mei Tsukuba and asked, "Do you feel that she is strange?"

Conan nodded: "Well, but no matter what, these two murders have been solved, and there should be nothing for us to do next."

Huiyuan sighed and said, "Alas, it's already this late. It's completely too late to play in the game."

...

An hour has passed and Kogoro Mori's speech is about to begin as planned.

Inside the theater, the host Rika Hanai has already begun the presidency: "Dear audience, I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. We are about to start the first lecture event to commemorate the renovation of the Hishida Theater. The famous detective, the sleeping Kogoro, Mr. Maori Kogoro will give us a lecture. The theme of the lecture is 'Mr. Maori Kogoro tells us the secrets of being a famous detective'!"

There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.

Kamiya Minazuki in the backstage said with a sinister smile: "I didn't expect that Uncle Mori has so many fans. However... Hishida Theater's owner, Junko Hishida, is dead, and they are still commemorating the renovation of Hishida Theater. It should be changed to the anniversary of the death of the owner of Hishida Theater, hahahaha."

Conan and Haibara Ai looked at the laughing Kamiya Minatsuki with dead eyes. It was really a bad joke.
