Pretending to Be a Good Person in the World of Conan

Or like the ABC murder case, hide the real target in a series of victims to hide your true motive?

There are too many possible situations.

More clues must be found.

Conan decided to take the initiative to investigate.

—When they arrived, the door was locked from the inside.

Neither Shiraishi nor Mr. Yonehara could lock the door at that time, and the one who locked the door could only be the murderer, that is to say, that person jumped out of the window and escaped.

The snow is so thick now that there are bound to be footprints.

However, Conan jumped out of the window and followed the footprints all the way to the end, only to see the gate of the villa.

This means...the attacker is still hiding in the villa.

A gust of wind blew past, and there was an unstoppable chill behind Conan.

Then a heavy coat fell on him.

Mao Lilan, who was catching up, wrapped the scarf around Conan by the way: "How many times have I told you that it is easy to catch a cold if you run in the snow without a coat!"

Well, the coolness is gone.

Sure enough, the economic base determines the superstructure, the physical condition, and to some extent the mental state.

Conan sneezed and wrapped his coat tightly.

……

After returning to the villa and telling others the results of tracking footprints, Shimoda Kohei and Nakamura Misato were thoughtful.

"Could it be Sugiyama's fault." The more Kohei Shimoda thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. "He is a serious horror movie fan, and he may have arrived halfway. He has been hiding in the villa and wants to scare us when he has nothing to do."

Several people discussed in a hurry for a while, but in the end they couldn't discuss the result.

Moreover, after all, no one died at this time, Conan's reasoning ability was largely sealed, and he couldn't think of other answers for a while.

But Shimoda Kohei's "scare" made Conan vaguely catch something.

The curry was still in the pot, almost mushy, and several people went to cook again, preparing dinner in a hurry.

During this period, Yonehara Akiko carried Sugiyama's body and slipped to the gate.

She adjusted the posture and position of the corpse, and then fixed it in front of the door with kite strings, rubber bands and snow.

Sugiyama's body was already stiff, and the cold weather would accelerate the breaking of the rubber band that had been subjected to excessive tension. Once it broke, the body would fall forward and land on the doorbell, reminding the people in the house to come and pick up the body.

The kite line will be blown away, and the snow on the ground to aid in anchoring won't be too noticeable.

Coupled with the fact that a corpse that has been dead for a while will not ring the doorbell by itself, others will think that "the murderer left Sugiyama at the door and rang the doorbell."

In this way, Akiko Yonehara, who was staying with other people when the doorbell rang, had an alibi.

Shiraishi guessed what Akiko Yonehara was doing, so he "woke up" before dinner, in case he didn't have an alibi.

Although these people probably wouldn't suspect him, it's safer to get one casually.

But trouble also followed.

——When Conan saw him go downstairs, he immediately dragged him to the side with bright eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Is the black cat here?"

"?" Baishi thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out that there was no trace of the black cat.

And in order to prevent one more suspect, he was forced to choose one of the three, and he has been acting in the form of a cat.

Did Conan discover something he didn't notice?

Shiraishi became alert.

However, of course he didn't show it directly, but asked euphemistically, "Why do you think so?"

"Because many things are unreasonable, but just now, I suddenly discovered another explanation."

Speaking, Conan looked at Shiraishi: "You didn't fall asleep on the floor at first, did you? On the sofa?"

"..." You fucking meowed, did you secretly install a surveillance camera in my room?

Shiraishi originally wanted to deny it.

But I also felt that Conan dared to ask such a question, because he must have a certain degree of certainty. Lying will not only fail to save his temporary teammate Akiko Yonehara, but also easily sell himself extra.

So Baishi nodded: "Yes, I still want to ask how you moved me to the bed."

Conan rubbed his chin and nodded, sure enough.

In fact, he heard Suzuki Sonoko say this in the kitchen just now.

Afterwards, he went to check the sofa. Although the folds on it had been carefully smoothed out, the sofa here was relatively old and the elasticity was not good, and traces of someone who had been lying on it for a long time could still be felt.

After the guess was confirmed, Conan lowered his voice: "You said, is it possible that Yonehara-sensei wanted to play a joke on us, so he did these things?

"She used to love watching horror movies, and she also held some weakened versions of small games during campus celebrations.

"It may be that this time, she entered your room by accident and found that you were sleeping soundly.

"You happen to be classmates in the adjacent departments, and narcolepsy is not a very common disease. If someone suffers from it, others will probably mention it when chatting.
