Xingchen poked his head out of the door and saw Hattori Heiji reasoning.

However, Inspector Megure's expression gradually became serious and gloomy. A detective who was not from their region was reasoning and solving the case, while the detective from their own region looked confused.

More importantly, this detective is the son of Hattori Heizo, the current chief of the Osaka Police Station.

This allowed him to solve the case, but how would the insiders view the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?

Xingchen sneaked up to Officer Gaomu and said, "Officer Gaomu, I have something to ask of you."

"What's wrong, Xiaochen?" Officer Takagi looked down at Xingchen and said. Oh, when he saw Xingchen for the first time, he felt that Detective Maori also had an idea.

"It's like this." Xingchen entrusted some things to Officer Gaomu.

Officer Gao Mu squatted down and listened to Xingchen's words.

"I understand." After hearing this, Officer Takagi stood up, looked serious, and then hurried out.

Xingchen watched Officer Gaomu leave, and his first step was completed.

Now, he looked at Mouri Kogoro who was standing not far from the chair and thought to himself, Uncle is sorry, let me let you become the sleeping Mouri Kogoro again!

Xingchen went over and turned the chair around, aiming it in the direction of Maori Kogoro.

When he saw Hattori Heiji still reasoning in an ecstatic manner, he pointed at the old man and said that he was the murderer.

The key point is that the old man nodded and admitted that he was the murderer.

Xingchen knew that he had to hurry up. He combined the clues given by Kudo Shinichi with the clues from his golden finger.

He reasonably knew who the murderer was.

He opened the cover of the anesthetic watch, aimed at the back of Kogoro Mouri's neck, and fired.

A silver needle hit Kogoro Mori's neck.

"Ah, wuwu." After making some strange noises, Kogoro Mouri sat on the chair as Xingchen expected.

“!!!” The noise attracted everyone present.

Xingchen took the opportunity to crawl under the table.

"Hey, uncle."

Hattori Heiji thought that Kogoro Mori had fainted and shouted quickly. He had never experienced such a situation before.

But the officer Megure next to him said happily: "Brother Mori." That's great, finally we don't have to go back and embarrass ourselves.

"Kid." Xingchen adjusted his voice above the mask, and when he put on the mask, his voice sounded like Mao Lilan's.

Oh no! He quickly took off his mask and tried to change it back.

Ugh? !

Everyone turned to look at Mao Lilan, and she pointed at herself with a puzzled look on her face.

Mao Lilan thought to herself that it seemed like she didn't say anything.

"Kid, I'm fine." After several seconds of adjustment, Xingchen finally adjusted the voice to that of Kogoro Mori.

"Then don't be so scary." Hattori Heiji was stunned, walked over and said while supporting the desk with one hand.

"Look, I have found the criminal. Kudo Shinichi hasn't shown up yet, so it looks like I won," said Hattori Heiji.

"I don't think so. Are you sure that the criminal is really that old man?" Xingchen leaned against his back. It was his first time to be the sleeping Kogoro Mouri, and he felt a little nervous inside.

"Otherwise, he has already admitted it." Hattori Heiji said in confusion.

"Really? Grandpa is actually lying to you."

"what!"

"Uncle, are you saying that my reasoning is wrong?" said Hattori Heiji.

"The way you committed the crime is just unrealistic."

"Brother Maori, you also saw the key go into my pocket by itself." Inspector Megure thought he should add something at first, but he thought it was a perfect deduction based on that method.

"Really, Officer Megure? Take the key from your pocket and see if it's all the way in."

Following Xingchen's hint, Inspector Megure found the key in the outer pocket.

"Is it possible? I have already put the hanging line through the double pockets." Hattori Heiji opened his eyes wide and looked at Maori Kogoro in disbelief. Was this uncle's previous actions all to make me careless?

"When people sit, the inside of their pockets are wrinkled. Even if you put your keys in, they will get stuck in your outer pocket. There may only be a key ring."

"The criminal put the key in his pocket at the beginning." Xingchen narrated lightly.

"Then tell me about the fishing line I found in the Japanese-style room." Hattori Heiji retorted, still unable to believe that his reasoning was wrong.

Officer Takagi returned just in time and said, "We found a lot of this fishing line in other places as well."

"See? This is actually a trick used by the criminal. In fact, the old man would have this fishing line wherever he went."

"Hasn't he already admitted it?" Hattori Heiji asked again. He didn't know all these details, so how did this uncle know them?

"I think the old man actually fell into the murderer's trap on purpose. The specific reason is unknown."

"This room is a perfect secret room. Could it be that you want to say that the victim committed suicide?" Hattori Heiji said suspiciously.

"No, he definitely didn't commit suicide. And the real method of murder is actually very simple."

"In fact, the opera we heard when we first came in and the books on the table were all to cover up the noise she made when she killed people. It was to conceal the eyes and ears of us detectives, because as long as one of us discovered these noises, her plan would be ruined."

"So, is that so?" Hattori Heiji also realized belatedly.

If Kudo Shinichi hadn't told him, Xingchen would have thought that the victim had already died.

"The murderer is actually Mrs. Tsujimura, who was closest to the victim at that time. That's you."

"Ah." Everyone looked at Tsujimura Kimie.

"What."

"Madam killed Master."

"In other words, when you arrived, the victim was still alive." Inspector Megure turned his head and looked at Kogoro Mouri and said.

"That's right." Xingchen replied.

"At first, Mrs. Tsujimura used some kind of drug to make Mr. Tsujimura fall asleep. Later, Mrs. Tsujimura approached and pretended to wake the victim up before stabbing him with the poison needle."

"No one noticed it at the time, and it was natural. I guess the lady used a strong sleeping pill. If the poison needle was coated with a strong poison, the victim would still be poisoned to death without moving."

"The books and the opera are just in case." Xingchen finished his reasoning. In fact, most of it was provided by Kudo Shinichi.

He also felt a little bit unbelievable at first, how brave he was.

"If sleeping pills were found on the deceased afterwards, this method would be used." Inspector Megure thought of this and said.

"No, we won't be discovered. Because from the beginning, we knew that the victim was already dead when we entered the house."

"That is to say, the murderer deliberately called the detective here. He took advantage of their blind spot that the murderer would not kill in front of the detective. He carried out a psychological murder in a closed room."

"Uncle, we didn't see the lady taking out the poison needle when we came in." Hattori Heiji turned around and said.

"A key accessory. I think the design of the lady's key accessory is the same as the victim's, and they can be opened in the middle. The murder weapon was probably hidden in there from the beginning."

"The key is on top." Hattori Heiji lowered his head and thought.

"Madam, could you please let me see the key?" Officer Megure walked up to Mrs. Tsujimura, stretched out his hand and said.
