Kudo Shinichi nodded to Egawakami and walked up to Hattori Heiji.

He looked down at Hattori Heiji who was lying on the ground without getting up, and explained to him the reason.

"The reason for this is that Officer Megure was sitting, so the key fell out in this way, which means it was not in the double pocket at all."

"You found the key in the deceased's trouser pocket, but you clearly knew that the key was in the double-layer pocket. Now the key from the test results is obviously not in the double-layer pocket, otherwise how could it fall out so easily?"

"This is a refutation. It contradicts the result, so the reasoning is wrong. So the murderer is not Mr. Li Guang, whom you pointed out, but someone else."

Hattori Heiji was dumbfounded, still a little confused, "What? What is going on?"

Kudo Shinichi shook his head, feeling that Hattori Heiji was no match for him.

He went on to explain, "When people sit, their pants will be wrinkled, especially their pockets. The folded wrinkles will directly block the key from entering the double-layer pocket, and the key will stay shallowly at the entrance instead of the double-layer pocket."

"The deceased was sitting all the time, and the fishing line was pulled out quickly, so there was no way to put the key into the double pocket through the external fishing line. Moreover, the deceased was fatter than Inspector Megure, so the key could not get in."

"So the answer is obvious. There is a loophole in your reasoning, which is wrong reasoning."

Inspector Megure nodded, as if he had thought of something, and recalled, "I remember when I was searching the deceased's pockets, I only noticed that they were bulging."

Hattori Heiji, who had been denied many times, did not believe Kudo Shinichi's explanations at all. He angrily said, "There are always chances in this situation. What if it falls into the double pocket?"

He was even a little incoherent, and his tone became far-fetched. "At least one out of ten times is a coincidence, right? What I mean is...what if it was a coincidence that he entered?"

Kudo Shinichi said lazily, "No matter how many times you do it, the result will be the same. You can figure out the reason yourself."

His expression was very calm, in stark contrast to Hattori Heiji's angry eyes.

He prompted again, "You can imagine which direction the key was facing in the deceased's pocket."

Hattori Heiji followed Kudo Shinichi's thoughts and thought of the scene at that moment.

When Inspector Megure took out the key, he saw it clearly and naturally would not forget it.

When he thought about it, the picture came to his mind quickly, and he suddenly understood.

Kudo Shin knew he remembered it when he saw his expression, so he said, "Yes, it's just as you think. If you really follow your idea, the key enters the double-layer pocket from the outside, then it will only be the key ring in the pocket, and the key will still be outside. After all, the fishing line is tied to the key ring, and the key ring is the first to enter the pocket."

"But the key in the deceased's pocket was folded into a '7' shape and placed in a double-layer pocket. The same was true in the evidence bag. So this shows that the key was in the deceased's pocket from the beginning and did not enter from the outside."

Although Hattori Heiji was almost convinced by Kudo Shinichi's theory, he still didn't believe it and took out the fishing line from his pocket to ask.

"In that case, then tell me what happened to this fishing line. I found it in the trash can in the Japanese-style room."

Kudo Shinichi glanced at Mr. Li Guang and said slowly, "This is just a trap set by the murderer. Congratulations on falling into it successfully."

Kudo Shinichi's words really deserved a beating, and Hattori Heiji exploded, "You!"

"Don't be impatient. I haven't finished talking yet. The purpose of this trap is to frame this old man. I found five or six similar fishing lines in this house. Fishing lines can be seen everywhere, so they are not enough to be used as evidence."

As he spoke, Kudo Shinichi took out a fishing line from his pocket and looked at Hattori Heiji with a smile.

Hattori Heiji's face turned completely black.

This guy is absolutely insulting!

When Jiang Chuan saw the fishing line in his hand, he realized why he came back so late. It turned out that he was looking for clues.

The system screamed, [I didn't expect Kudo Shinichi to be so treacherous. He has tricked Hattori Heiji so many times. He is so handsome. He is worthy of being a washing machine!]

[What about me?]

[…Uh], the system shrank its body, but it was round and solid. No matter how it shrank, it didn’t change at all.

[Um? ]

[You are my ancestor, you are more handsome! More beautiful! I love you the most!]

[That’s more like it.]

Kudo Shinichi was still continuing his explanation, and when he noticed Egawakami's gaze, he just glanced away.

At this moment, the only thing on his mind was the case, and he was determined to build his career.

"Whether it's the living room or anywhere else, there are such fishing lines. The murderer has already made all the preparations. Whether it's the Japanese-style room or other places, they have already designed it, just waiting for the fishing line, the tool used in the crime, to be discovered."

"So no matter where this old man was at the time of the crime, he would be identified as the suspect."

Hattori Heiji refused to give up and said stubbornly, "But this old man admitted that he killed someone. How do you explain this?"

Kudo Shinichi sighed, "This is because the old man already knew who the murderer was. In order to cover up the truth, he deliberately fell into the trap and admitted that he did it."

"As for why they did this, I don't know, but covering up cannot be faked."

Hattori Heiji was convinced by his reasoning, but he still couldn't figure out how the deceased died and what the modus operandi was.

I believe every detective is eager to know the whole process of the matter, and Hattori Heiji is no exception.

He doubted, "Then how did the victim die? This study is a secret room. Are you trying to say that the victim committed suicide?"

In the eyes of this generation of detectives, the deceased was either murdered or committed suicide. The murderer could not enter the locked room, so the victim's death could only be considered suicide.

Kudo Shinichi denied him again, "No, he didn't commit suicide, he was murdered. Moreover, the murderer had already left clues of his true crime at the crime scene. That was his method."

Hattori Heiji finally fell silent.

Inspector Megure spoke up at this time, continuing his words, "What is the murderer's modus operandi?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Hattori Heiji with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He deliberately asked, "Have you forgotten? Before the deceased was found, an opera was playing in the study, and there was a pile of books in front of the deceased's desk."

Hattori Heiji looked at Kudo Shinichi with complicated eyes.

I finally confirmed that the Kudo Shinichi in front of me was the little boy Conan from before.

When he saw Kudo Shinichi push the door and walk in, he was a little skeptical and almost thought that little Conan was not Kudo Shinichi, they just looked similar.

Now that Kudo Shinichi told him all the details about the dead body they found as soon as they entered the door, he finally confirmed that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, and his suspicion was not wrong.

The famous Kudo Shinichi actually has a hobby of becoming smaller. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the world is going downhill!

It’s just that poor Xiaolan never suspected or discovered anything from beginning to end, so pitiful.

When Hattori Heiji thought of this, he was no longer annoyed.

He has mastered Kudo Shinichi's secret, and it will be easy for him to use it to threaten Kudo Shinichi in the future, hahahaha!

Kudo Shinichi sneezed and unexpectedly felt something was wrong.

He looked left and right but didn't find anything wrong. He only saw that Mao Lilan in the corner was very silent.

There was worry in his eyes.

Xiaolan, wait a moment, let me solve the case and then explain it to you, wait for me.

He calmed himself down and continued aloud, "The opera was played to cover up the screams of the deceased when he was stabbed by the poison needle, and the book was played to cover up the victim's hideous face in pain when he died, delaying the time of being discovered."

Hattori Heiji couldn't bear it any longer and burst into laughter, showing both gloating and mockery of his reasoning.

"How is this possible? How could the murderer cover up with such a small detail? Who is he trying to hide from? Could it be you?"

Kudo Shinichi also laughed, with the corners of his lips raised, confident and uninhibited.

"Of course it's to cover up your ears, Hattori Heiji. The one who has fallen into the trap many times has always been you."

"What, how is this possible?"

Kudo Shinichi was annoyed for a moment, thinking that he had said it too decisively, and quickly changed his words and continued, "Of course it's not just you, but also everyone who entered the study with you. It's just that you stepped on more traps, so I'm just using you as an example."

"Detective Mori, Consultant Tomie Kawakami, you, Xiaolan... If you had just had some suspicion at the time, you could have disrupted the murderer's plans."

Hattori Heiji instantly understood the principle behind this and became furious.

The murderer planned everything, even the detective's reaction. Whenever he thought about it, he felt so terrified that even his fingers were shaking.

Kudo Shinichi began to scan the area, his gaze moving from Kogoro Mori to Egawa Kamisama, and finally slowly looked somewhere.

"Then I think the murderer must be the person who was closest to the deceased at the time. The deceased died when you just walked in."

Hattori Heiji instantly understood what was going on and looked somewhere.

Kudo Shinichi made his signature move, pointed his finger, and immediately said: "That's right, there is only one truth, the murderer is you!"

The person he was pointing at was your ladyship.

Your Madam looked confused.

Why did he suddenly accuse me? What happened here?

How does the young detective know so much?

The series of doubts made the lady dizzy. She raised her head in surprise and looked at Kudo Shinichi.

It seems to be asking: How do you know it so clearly!

Kudo Shinichi knew all this clearly because he was among this group of people, he was Conan.

What Conan saw, Kudo Shinichi naturally remembered after he turned back, and he remembered it clearly.

When he was arguing with Hattori Heiji, Hattori Heiji had already linked him to Conan and had no doubts about what he said.

Jiang Chuan Shang already knew it, so naturally he wouldn't doubt it.

Kogoro Mori is now confused as he is outside the game. He cannot participate in the battle between masters at all. He cannot understand or doubt anything.

Mao Lilan remained silent.

Therefore, those who come later have even less idea about what is going on.

The only one who should doubt Kudo Shinichi's remarks is the murderer.

I guess she is now puzzled as to how Kudo Shinichi knows so much.

No matter how hard she tried, she would never have thought that Kudo Shinichi had a built-in cheat, and becoming smaller was his cheat.

Of course, these cannot be told to Mrs. Damura, or your lady.

Kudo Shinichi withdrew his fingers calmly.

Maori Kogoro finally came to his senses at this time, "In other words, when we arrived at the door of the study, the victim was still alive, and when we went in to check the player, your ladyship had killed the victim?"

Kudo Shinichi nodded, "Yes, before that, the victim had been asleep, which made it easier for your ladyship to do it."

As he spoke, Kudo Shinichi looked at the lady and made eye contact with her. "Then, Madam, when you pretended to wake up the victim, you inserted the poison needle. No one noticed at the time, which shows that your acting was natural. Under the high-intensity drug effect, the victim could not wake up at all. Under the strong poison, of course, he would die on the spot."

"The books and the operas are just in case. Isn't that right, madam?"

Hattori Heiji also understood the key, but he still felt terrified when he thought about the case.

Because the murderer's anti-reasoning ability is very strong, he sets traps to create a blind spot in the victim's thinking, so that the detectives can no longer determine how the victim died, and the murderer can commit a perfect crime.

Unfortunately, she didn't expect that there would be another person named Kudo Shinichi among them.

All her plans finally failed.

Hattori Heiji thought about it and said it out loud.

When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Kudo Shinichi.

As expected of a famous high school detective from Kanto, the difference in strength was as great as just one word.

Hattori Heiji walked towards Kudo Shinichi with a kind look in his eyes, "Is this what you wanted to say?"

This means the reasoning that Hattori Heiji just mentioned.

Kudo Shinichi nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Hattori Heiji looked at him with a kind look, but his words were still provocative.

"If that's the case, then you can show me the evidence. I didn't see your ladyship take out the poison needle at that time."

He is deliberately tripping me up.

Although reasoning should be combined with evidence, the murderer should be made to confess before the police can legally arrest him.

But this does not prevent Hattori Heiji from speaking in a wrong tone.
