Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Conan asked Fukui Yuuki about a furry-looking thing on the ceiling.

Fukui Yuki answered Conan: "That's what's left of the hair root."

Conan asked doubtfully: "What's left of the hair root?"

Fukui Yuuki explained: "Yes, it was fixed to the ceiling with thumbtacks. When I tried to remove it, I pulled hard and it broke because a guest booked it and held a party last week. , anyway, because the ceiling is dark, it is not very conspicuous, so I just left it there for now, but I didn’t expect you to still see it.”

Conan answered the reason why he saw the hair roots: "So it's like this, because I need to raise my head when talking to adults, so I saw it."

"That's right, but don't miss the lower part just because you keep looking at the top, little detective."

Fukui Yuki teased Conan.

Conan didn't understand why Fukui Yuuki said that. Fukui Yuuki looked in the direction of Mori Kogoro and said, "Look, there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to the sole of Mr. Mori's shoe, right? I remember that he didn't have it when he was next to the deceased. Where did you step on it?”

Conan looked at Mouri Kogoro.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro's posture was kneeling on the ground, just enough to see the soles of his shoes, and Moori Kogoro's soles did seem to have a piece of chewing gum stuck to them.

However, Conan's pupils were shaking as he looked at the soles of Mouri Kogoro's shoes.

Kamiya Minazuki looked at Conan, whose pupils were shaking, in confusion. Could it be that the case was solved because Mouri Kogoro had chewing gum stuck to the soles of his shoes?

Probably not? So sloppy?

Kamiya Minayuki planned to check the situation first to see if he was so careless.

At this time, Officer Megure walked up to Kogoro Mori and asked, "How are you doing? Did you find anything?"

Mouri Kogoro turned to look at Officer Megure: "Not at all."

When Mouri Kogoro was about to get up, Conan suddenly shouted: "Don't move! Uncle, because you seem to have stepped on an evidence!"

Hearing what Conan said, Officer Megure and others were shocked, and at the same time they looked at the soles of Mouri Kogoro's shoes.

Officer Takagi took off the object that looked like chewing gum from the sole of Kogoro Mouri's shoe.

Officer Takagi looked at the thing in his hand: "This doesn't seem to be chewing gum, it should be clay. It seems to have some shape printed on it! It is an upside-down capital letter, the four letters 'EPDH', and there is a protrusion on it. circle."

Conan fell into deep thought for a moment.

If 'EPDH' is printed upside down, the original arrangement is 'HDPE', high density polyethylene, which is synthetic resin.

If there is a raised part on the clay, it means that there is a hole in the part that is closely connected to the clay.

That being said, it's probably because it's tightly stuck underneath.

Why is there clay underneath that thing?

Kamiya Minayuki also realized what 'that thing' Conan was thinking about now.

Thanks to the last time Kamiya Minatsuki took pictures with Amami Yuki in Singapore, because of the film camera used, Kamiya Minatsuki didn't have enough film to buy.

There are the English letters 'HDPE' on the bottom of the film box.

But Kamiya Minayuki is very confused, what is the reason for this and the case?

Judging from Conan's thoughtful look, it seems that this thing is very important.

At this time, Fukui Yuki stretched out and sighed: "To be honest, I have already got off work at this time. I should be taking a bath and humming songs now."

Conan looked at Fukui Yuki blankly.

Take a bath...

Yeah? So that’s what happened!

The murder weapon did not disappear out of thin air like this. The murderer used a film box to lift the murder weapon off the ground! Out of sight of adults!

The corner of Conan's mouth curled up and he looked at Kogure Bunpei.

And Kamiya Minayuki narrowed his eyes when looking at Conan.

Kamiya Minayuki is now very sure that Conan has most likely solved the case.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro, who was playing steadily, said to Officer Megure: "I understand, Officer Megure! I know who killed Susukada Shufushi!"

Officer Megure solemnly confirmed: "Moori, is it true?"

Mouri Kogoro reasoned: "Yes, I think the murderer is the guest who had a dispute with the victim. Although the guest has left, if the guest took away the poison needle that was originally prepared after the murder, It’s no surprise then that we couldn’t find the murder weapon in the store!”

Conan sighed as he had a headache.

Here comes the muddy waters again.

Conan took out the voice-changing bow, hid aside and said using Mouri Kogoro's voice: "Although that's what I thought, it's actually not the case!"

Mouri Kogoro was shocked? !

He didn't speak!

Officer Megure also looked at Mouri Kogoro strangely: "Why are you so incompatible with your words?"

"No, that was..."

Mouri Kogoro's inner monologue begins again.

'There should be another me. As a detective, there is usually another self living in my heart who can objectively analyze the results of my own reasoning. However, the other me always comes out at the worst possible time.

Since the police officers seemed to have heard it, it meant that I should have made a voice to speak, but I didn't feel it at all, as if I was possessed by something unknown! '

Mouri Kogoro suddenly covered his neck.

'No, no, more importantly, I will have that slight pain in my neck after that! '

At this time, Conan fired the evil anesthetic needle, accurately hitting Mouri Kogoro's neck.

'That's right, that's it. Then, I will feel a strong sense of sleepiness. I can't help but say no. This is probably the price I have to pay for the full operation of my brain cells. Recently, I have begun to feel that sleeping like this is very comfortable. This It's because... I'm used to it...'

Mouri Kogoro fell into a coma.

Conan used Mouri Kogoro's voice to say: "The conflict between the victim and the guest happened without warning. How could he bring the poisonous needle by such a coincidence? Next, I will recreate the crime modus operandi. Officer Takagi, please Help me prepare a film box, water, and foaming hot spring tablets."

"Ok!"

The sleeping Kogoro Mouri appears and asks for the method of committing the crime. Officer Takagi immediately goes to prepare the props.

Kamiya Mingetsu also took this opportunity to walk up to Kogure Bunpei, hugged his shoulders, and forcibly led him to the corner without any explanation.

Xiaogu Wenping asked guiltily: "Kami...Detective Kamiya, why are you looking for me?"

Kamiya Mingyue sneered: "Stop pretending, murderer, it's almost time. Do you confess on your own, or do I force you to plead guilty?"

Xiaomu Wenping's pupils shrank sharply, and cold sweat broke out all at once.
