Chapter 83 Dangerous Melon Field (5)

Mr. Kumagai stood in front of the projector, playing the surveillance video while explaining it. Maori Kogoro and others stared at the screen, hoping to find clues to solve the case.

"Then please go back to the time when Mr. Inose was discovered." Mr. Kumagai said, rewinding the video to the moment when Mr. Arai discovered Mr. Inose.

Maori Kogoro carefully observed the video and suddenly said, "Play it backwards from here."

Mr. Kumagai did as he was told, and the video began to play in reverse. However, no one saw anything strange. Maori Kogoro couldn't help but frowned: "Nothing strange was filmed!"

Huiyuan Ai also agreed: "Yeah, there is indeed nothing."

Conan suddenly spoke up: "But! Even the victim, Uncle Inose, was not photographed. Isn't that strange?"

Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up: "Indeed!"

Huihara Ai also noticed something: "What is that? The grass seems to be moving."

Mr. Kumagai took a closer look and shook his head: "It doesn't look like a human!"

Maori Kogoro guessed: "It must be the raccoon we just chased away."

Huihara Ai nodded: "That's right, it might be a raccoon running through the grass."

However, Maori Kogoro still felt a little unwilling: "No. The surveillance camera didn't capture anything."

Conan made a suggestion: "Uncle, let's go back to the scene. The police may have found something."

When they arrived at the crime scene, Maori Kogoro immediately asked the police: "Any new findings?"

When the police saw Maori Kogoro, his eyes flashed with admiration: "Oh! You are the famous detective Maori Kogoro! It's an honor for you to visit this remote place."

Maori Kogoro waved his hand and said, "You are too kind. How is the situation?"

The police pointed to the marks on the ground and said: "The victim's calves and head were hit. Judging from the situation at the scene, the back of the victim's head was hit hard by the melon."

Conan silently observed the scene from the side, thinking to himself: "The ground is poured with concrete, so there shouldn't be any footprints left."

The police continued, "There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, which means the victim was probably attacked unilaterally. The criminal was lying in ambush and hit the victim's calf. After the victim fell to the ground, he hit him on the head with a melon."

Conan suddenly walked to an open cage and asked curiously: "Uncle police, what is this?"

The police explained: "Ah, that's a cage for catching wild animals. After all, there are more and more wild animals destroying crops now, and the villagers have set up such cages to prevent them from continuing to destroy crops."

Maori Kogoro nodded. "We were called here because of the wild animal issue. It's normal to have cages."

Kogoro, Ai Haibara and Conan sat in front of the house drinking melon soda and enjoying the tranquility of the countryside. Ai Haibara couldn't help but exclaimed: "The home-made melon soda tastes so good."

Kogoro also nodded in agreement: "It is indeed delicious."

Conan looked at the soda in his hand and fell into deep thought. He thought: "This case... Uncle was commissioned to catch a melon thief. The person attacked by the melon thief was Mr. Inose, a nearby melon grower. Did he encounter the melon thief? Or was he attacked by one of these three people? But the situation at the scene always feels wrong. What is wrong?"

Kogoro sighed and said, "Really? These people seem to be harmonious on the surface, but they all have ulterior motives. In this case, animals are cuter."

Huiyuan Ai asked curiously: "Animals? What does it have to do with the case?"

Conan suddenly realized something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He thought: "That's it!"

Haibara Ai noticed Conan's strangeness and asked, "Conan, where are you going?"

Conan replied, "I'm going to the bathroom." Then he got up and left.

Kogoro looked at Conan's back and said curiously, "Isn't the toilet over there?"

However, Conan did not go to the toilet, but ran to the place where the wild animal cages were placed. He carefully checked the cages and found that the cages were stained with animal fur, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "This is what's wrong."

Then, Conan checked the blind spot of the surveillance camera and found a light truck. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, it's here."

Conan quickly climbed onto the back of the truck and found an animal cage. He was delighted and thought to himself, "Great, now I have all the evidence."
