Conan and I start the hell-level main line

The Detective Traveler came to the restaurant on the first floor, and it was time to end the incident.

As soon as I entered the room, the group of people were still arguing. Although there were one or two people who were a little more serious and pretended to analyze the case, they obviously sat down next to each other because they were tired.

When Kogoro saw the two of them coming back, he let go of Itrin, who was already tangled up and dizzy, and let him fall freely.

"Where have you been again?"

"Of course it's to uncover the truth of the case." Mitsuhiko grinned, put his hands on his hips, walked forward, and threw a long rope in his hand on the ground.

Kogoro was shocked, "You... do you know who the murderer is?!"

"Just right, I also know who the murderer is." Liang seemed to have suddenly cleared up his mind, and he stood up excitedly and pointed at him confidently, "The murderer is you, Mr. Kogoro!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience asked in unison: “???”

Kogoro was so angry that he laughed. He glared at Liang fiercely like a jackal or a ferocious beast, grabbed his collar and shouted at his nose: "Who are you slandering, you little bastard? Why do you say I'm a murderer?!"

The two men were almost face to face, and their tall bodies buried Liang's shivering, sweaty head in the shadows.

Liang stammered, "I... I'm just making a deduction, don't get so excited..."

Amuro came over, patted the two on the shoulders, and motioned for them to separate and calm down, "Since it's a theory, then speak freely."

"Officer Kogoro, as a police officer, you naturally have a very strong sense of justice. It's not a coincidence that you're here today, but you are the murderer!"

"You actually knew about the dirty deeds of the mayor and the store manager a long time ago. The police with a strong sense of justice would not let you do whatever you want, so you planned to kill them both."

Natsume nodded with a hint of appreciation, "Well, this can be considered a motive, but what about the method of committing the crime?"

Liang laughed, even though he saw through everything, and looked at Kogoro with a raised eyebrow, "This is very simple, the mayor's murder case was not a true closed room murder from the beginning, because he had a key in his hand!"

Amuro: "But there are only two keys, one is in my hand, and the other was found on the mayor's person?"

Liang raised his hand to disapprove, "Don't forget who discovered the mayor had the key?"

Itlin said he didn't know, and Natsume and Amuro looked at Kogoro at the same time. Kogoro became angry and wanted to say something when he saw this, but Liang didn't give him a chance to argue.

"It's simple. After Policeman Kogoro stole the key and killed the mayor, he locked the door and secretly placed the key on the mayor under the pretext of an investigation. He then made a big fuss and said that he found it on him. In this way, the so-called secret room was completed."

"Then there's the store manager. Do you know why the store manager's body couldn't be found in the hotel? Because the body was taken to the woods by Officer Kogoro early in the morning."

"Don't forget that Mr. Amuro and Officer Kogoro went out together to look for the store manager. But if Officer Kogoro is the murderer, he can justifiably trick Amuro into taking him away from the direction of the body and prevent us from finding it now. This way, you can buy time to prove your alibi."

Natsume thought about it and it made sense. "Then why is there no snow on the store manager's body and no footprints on the ground?"

Liang was already drinking champagne at halftime and was confident of winning. "Oh, it's very simple. It was snowing when he was killing someone and doing his job. Why not just put a sack on him? The footprints will disappear, and then the sack can be secretly retrieved when he and Mr. Amuro are out looking for the store manager."

The more Natsume thought about it, the more strange it felt. "No, this is wrong. It was still snowing when we went out to search. If the sack was retrieved at that time, there would be no way that there would be no snow left on the manager's body."

Liang: "Then... that should be the one who sneaked ahead to retrieve it when we showed up to look for it after the snow stopped."

Natsume: "No, it was Edogawa who was leading the way. Besides, there were so many of us together, and Kogoro, as a policeman, must have been the most watched. If he suddenly disappeared, would we not have noticed?"

Liang panicked, "Ah this... maybe we didn't pay attention..."

Natsume (?_?): "Do you believe it yourself?..."

At this time, the space-time gate opened, and Secretary Takada walked in with a smile, holding a microphone. Edogawa and others were not surprised, and Secretary Takada did not say much.

"Okay, now that the detectives have come up with a theory, the murderer is now identified as Mr. Maori. Let's start the voting!"

"Except for the murderer, the five contestants vote on whether they are willing to believe the reasoning. The one with the most votes wins. Please start voting!"

Conan, Naraki, Natsume Hoshi, Amuro Toru and Itsuki all took a card handed to them by Secretary Takada, wrote down whether they believed it or not on it, and then handed it to Secretary Takada to announce the voting results.

After Secretary Takada got the tickets, he confirmed the number of people was correct and began to announce it.

[Believe: 1 vote, Don't believe: 4 votes]——Explosive killing...

Yitelin wanted to complain, "Good fellow, only someone who can come up with such a miraculous reasoning would choose to believe it..."

Naliang: "I think what I said was pretty good, but I just haven't thought through the details yet."

……

In the audience, Luo Yi and Gu Qi just felt that they had lost face again. Although they usually competed with each other and were as thick-skinned as a city wall, they were now being criticized in public, especially by Yi Telin, a well-known figure.

The detective group that was held hostage by Naliang is now about to become a group of steamed eggs.

The two of them shouted at his ancestors in unison: You self-righteous bastard.

……

Natsume Xing: "You call that a detail? It's bigger than a hole..."

Maori Kogoro angrily taunted, "You bastard, who did you learn your detective skills from? How can someone just blindly identify someone as the murderer right away? It's fine if you just said it, but you made such a fool of yourself with so many loopholes in your statement!!"

Natsume Xing also added fuel to the fire, "Yes, so stupid, even worse than Mr. Maori. Maori's ability of elimination is simply the essence. I seriously doubt whether you got the wrong script..."

Maori Kogoro glared at Natsume Hoshi with a kind smile, his expression seemed to say: If we weren't filming right now, I'd really like to punch you.

Secretary Takada: "The minority obeys the majority. Since you don't agree, the case will continue. You still have one more chance to reason. If you fail again, the murderer wins."

After Secretary Takada crossed the time-space gate and left, Kogoro obviously didn't want to let Liang go, and he taunted and scolded him, mocking his nonsense and inexplicably inheriting the troubles and embarrassment of a middle-aged man facing an uncultured high school student many years later and not being able to beat him.

Edogawa coughed dryly and reminded everyone, "Ahem, then, I should talk about my reasoning."

"The real murderer is actually you, Natsume!"

Others: "Ah?! You're not talking nonsense again..."

"That's not the case this time, because we have found the method he used to commit the crime, as well as the evidence." Mitsuhiko said with a smile, lightly stepping on the rope he had just thrown on the ground.

"In fact, the so-called method is not as difficult as we imagined. The fog is just a decoy. The core points of the two cases are actually the fireplace and the chimney pipe."
