Everyone didn't know how frightened Ireland was under his indifferent appearance. Watching Ireland leave with Xing Zhichuan holding hands, if the police were still doubting the relationship between this person and Xing Zhichuan before, now this suspicion melted like ice and snow, and sighed:

"What a loving father and son."

Are they really father and son?

The white horse explored sharply until Ireland walked out with a stiff pace, and his eyes didn't look like he was looking at his relatives.

Instead, it seems to be facing some scourge?

Baima pondered for a moment, originally wanted to consult Meguro Eluo's opinion, but when he turned his head, he found that he had long since disappeared.

White Horse Detective:?

……

When Ireland led Hoshikawa away from the front door, Conan and Hattori were collecting evidence in the backyard. They found bloodstains and a few ears of wheat mixed in the seams, as well as several boxes of gasoline, Shovel and gloves.

They looked at each other, and sure enough, since the place where the body was found was not the scene of the first crime, it meant that someone must have transported the body there, considering that someone carrying the body was too eye-catching, and the weight of the body was not If the body is light, and the limbs are stiff and difficult to carry after death, the only option is to use transportation.

"Sure enough, the prisoner is Keiko Chishima." Hattori pondered.

"No, please think again," Meguro Ero's gentle voice sounded from behind them, "Don't worry, let's sort out the case again."

"The victim, Fukada Ichiro, is currently separated from his wife due to the incident a year ago. He lives alone in the town and manages the farm on weekdays. The time of his death was between eight and nine o'clock. The place where he was found was near On the road on the edge of the town, it takes about 40 minutes to walk from the town, or only 10 minutes by car.

The deceased's cause of death was a fatal wound to the chest, puncturing an artery and causing internal bleeding.

Then that night, among the acquaintances involved with Ichiro Fukada, only four people did not have an alibi. They were Eri Sugiyama who helped in the store, Keiko Chishima, the proprietress of the hotel, Hitoshi Kitano, the deputy mayor of the town, and the pediatrician. Miyazaki Wuhe, among them, the time when Eri Sugiyama acted alone was separated from us. After the festival, Kitano Jin testified that he had seen her when he was looking for Fukada Ichiro, which means that the time she acted alone was Around seven fifty to 08:30. "

Conan continued: "We met Mr. Kitano when we were watching the program at the festival."

"Well, so the time for him to act alone is before 08:30, and from 08:30 to [-]:[-]."

Meguro nodded: "Finally, I found out from Eri that Keiko Chishima was talking about a program, and her program is actually the finale, which is the festival dance with the theme of exorcism that you saw."

"The show lasted about 5 minutes, but because Qiandao Keiko was waiting in the background very early, many people saw her, and her solo action time was the shortest. She was there when we returned to the hotel, so Qiandao Keiko was alone The operation time is only from 08:30 to 10:[-], which is only about [-] minutes."

Hattori understood: "It takes at least 10 minutes just to transport the corpse to that location, and it's not enough if you count the time for killing people."

Meguro Era nodded: "The last Miyazaki Wuhe didn't go out all night because of bad eyesight."

"So Ms. Qiandao may be an accomplice of the real criminal? She is in charge of disposing of the corpse?" Hattori frowned, "Who the hell..."

At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in Conan's mind, and he looked at Meguro Eluo in surprise: "You knew it from the beginning."

Meguro scratched his head: "That's right, but there are still motives and evidence."

"Motive..." Conan pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Hattori, "Do you still remember what Kitano Jin said when he was drunk?"

"A vengeful undead?" Hattori recalled carefully.

"Well, there's also Hattori..." Conan paused, then glanced at Meguro, "Brother Hattori, do you still remember the list of missing persons in the small town you investigated earlier?"

"Oh, of course I remember, but the two missing people, one is a geologist who came to this town to investigate a year ago, his name is Tamagawa Shinichi, about 30 years old, and the other seems to be Ono Sakuji, who was only there when he disappeared. More than 20 years old." Hattori said, because Conan said that there was an old man's body suspected in the castle, and all he investigated were young people, so he was not so urgent to tell Conan.

But now, he stared at Shinichi Tamagawa's eyebrows, and gradually overlapped with one of the people in the hotel. The inspiration also favored him, and Hattori also understood the truth of this case: "I see, I understand."

Meguro Eluo smiled: "Then I will trouble you to tell the police the truth. It is not convenient for me to come forward. I have something to do later, so I will go back to my room first."

After all, Meguro Eluo turned around and left without hesitation. Conan hesitated for a while, and when Meguro's figure disappeared into the room, he quickly followed, turned around and said to Hattori: "Please tell the police, I'll have something to do later."

Hattori:? ? ?What, do I look idle?

Before he had time to complain, he saw Conan walking on his short legs, as if he was about to catch up with Meguro Eluo's back.

Meguro stopped in a certain room and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

"Mr. Meguro."

Meguro turned around and looked at Conan calmly.

Conan looked at him without fear, and glanced at the door on his left: "Sure enough, you are here to find Keiko Qiandao. You talked to her before because you guessed that she helped the real murderer, so you wanted to persuade her Don’t make the same mistake over and over again, right?”

Meguro Era glanced sideways at the temporarily closed door of Keiko Qiandao, and said softly, "I'm only here to prevent things from going to the worst."

"But it seems to be a bit late." Meguro Eluo looked at Conan, "In the trunk of that car, you found other things besides blood and wheat ears."

Conan nodded: "We also found a lot of gasoline and shovels. There is no gas station in this small town. This should be the amount of daily storage in the homestay, but if it is to prevent the lack of cars on the road, this amount is too much. , unless it's for..."

"Burn the body and bury the evidence." Meguro said softly, "Keiko Chishima is a meticulous person, few people in the hotel will come to the hotel, but she also specially prepared a small book to record the details of every guest who comes to the hotel. Information, she prepared tools to cover up the dead body in the trunk, but in the end she left the dead body in the middle of the road, an extremely easy to find location."

"If she didn't do it on purpose, it means that her mental state at that time was so dangerous that she only had time to discard the body from the car."

Conan remembered at this time that when they returned to the hotel from the festival and saw Keiko Chishima, the other party had already shown a bad mood.

"According to my observations, Keiko Chishima's abnormality is a typical symptom of ptsd." Meguro rubbed her eyes, "She had this tendency to some extent, but she was in a good mood when she went to the festival tonight The turning point was the 10 minutes of the disappearance, I'm afraid Keiko Qiandao originally planned to dispose of the body in a remote place farther away, but an accident happened."

Conan narrowed his eyes and replied subconsciously: "She can't go out of the town anymore! And you said ptsd just now, which means Keiko Chishima had it before?"

"I'm afraid it is, if I'm not wrong, it was an incident a year ago, and it is also the culprit that caused the abnormality in the town recently..." Meguro Eluo's voice became weaker and weaker, he glanced at Conan, and finally Did not tell the truth.

Conan's heart was raised at first, but this is a good time, he was hung up and down, and for a while he forgot his fear of Meguro and Eluo, and opened his half-moon eyes and said: "Mr. Meguro, the Riddler will be killed. Nasty."

"Sorry, sorry." Meguro squatted down and rubbed Conan's head, "But it's too early for you."

"But we were also involved, weren't we?" Conan looked at him sharply, "And I am Uncle Maori's assistant, and I will also be a detective in the future, so I should have the right to know the truth."

Meguro suddenly smiled: "You seem to call me Mr. Meguro whenever you have business, and you always call me Brother Meguro when you are acting."

Conan suddenly got stuck: "Um, this is..."

"And not only that, although you claim to be Mori Kogoro's assistant, but when you search for evidence, you spend more time with Hattori Heiji, and he seems to often call you 'Kudou'?"

Conan quickly explained: "Well, that's because Brother Hattori is more kind. He said that I am very similar to Brother Kudo, so he often called me by the wrong name."

"More than that, the expression on your face when you heard Kogoro Mori's reasoning before clearly showed that you knew the logic error in it. It seems that you are very aware of Kogoro Mori's real reasoning level."

Conan shrieked with sweat profusely, and his hands couldn't help shaking: "No, because Uncle Maori didn't enter the state of 'Sleeping Kogoro', and many people know that the reasoning without a sleeping uncle is unbelievable. "

"Look, you like to have extra movements from the beginning of acting, and your voice will deliberately imitate the voice of a child," Meguro suddenly squatted down, grabbed Conan's wrist, and looked deeply at it with his fingertips close to the pulse. glanced at him.

"You should be more than 7 years old."

'system, apply psychology'

psychological confrontation

Meguro Ero: Extremely Difficult to Succeed

Conan: Ordinary Success

For a moment, Conan had the illusion of being seen through from head to toe,

Conan knew that he had to pretend at this time, but he couldn't control the frequency of his heartbeat that was about to jump out of his chest, so he tightly pursed the corners of his lips.

What an annoying thing it is to get along with a detective who is good at psychology, he finally understood at this moment.

Meguro didn't care about his attitude, and continued to talk to himself: "The discrepancy between your age and the appearance reminds me of the movie 'Orphan'. Have you watched it? It's about a deformed person who doesn't grow up You said, if I investigate your identity, will I find anything interesting?"

Conan's heart tightened. No one knew better than him that Edogawa Conan didn't exist. If Meguro Eluo really went to investigate and found out that there was no such person, he would undoubtedly think of the missing Kudo Shinichi. .

Just when he was hesitating in his heart, Meguro's expression suddenly relaxed, he let go of his wrist, stood up, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Look, you also have your own secret."

Conan was silent.

"It was a joke before. I have observed carefully. You undoubtedly trust the people around you, so you will unintentionally reveal your true self. But at the same time, the reason why you refuse to confide the secret to the people around you is because of fear. Will the truth of the matter hurt them?"

Conan remained silent, he didn't know if Meguro was still testing his true identity.

"My reason is the same as yours, little detective." Meguro rubbed Conan's head, "Besides, a detective doesn't need others to tell him the truth, right?"

He whispered the latter sentence close to Conan's ear, then stood up straight, took a last look at the room where Keiko Chishima was locked, turned and left.

Conan stood there without moving, his last words kept flashing in his mind.

The same reason as him?

He stood there for an unknown amount of time, until he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

Conan almost jumped up on the spot, but when he looked back, it was Hattori.

"Hey, Kudo, why are you standing here alone? I have already contacted the police station in Osaka and transferred to the file of Shinichi Tamagawa. Basically, the motive and evidence are complete," Hattori said carelessly. On Conan's shoulder, I was shocked to see Conan's face turned around, "What's wrong? His face is so ugly."

"He may know my identity," Conan said.

"Him?" Hattori was stunned for a second before reacting, his arm slipped from Conan's shoulder, his expression was extremely serious, "That Meguro Detective?"

Seeing Conan nodding, Hattori frowned: "Can you tell which side he's on?"

"It's not clear, but he should...not be a bad guy."

"Should? Didn't you suspect that he had something to do with the Black Organization?"

"It shouldn't be him who has the relationship." Conan thought about the two words before Meguro Eluo left.

'My reasons are the same as yours' means does the truth hurt other people.

Then the second half of the sentence...

"Hattori," Conan said softly suddenly, "what is your reason for becoming a detective?"

The topic jumped quickly. Hattori was stunned for a second, then fell silent, as if he was thinking. After a while, he grinned: "If you asked five years ago, I would definitely answer for the sake of justice. If you Asked years ago, I might have answered that the process of fighting wits and courage with the murderers made me extremely excited, but now..."

He raised his head slightly: "I may, just to prevent myself from regretting it."

"If I have the ability to investigate the matter clearly, give the victim's family an explanation, to prevent the tragedy that is about to happen, or to restore the tragedy that has already happened, but if I don't do this, sooner or later I will regret it too much , I vaguely think so."

Conan froze for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled: "Really."

"Did you find the answer you were looking for?"

"Ah, thanks." Conan held his small fist and lightly hammered Hattori's shoulder. Just as the two of them were about to pass each other, Hattori suddenly grabbed Conan's arm tightly:

"If you really thank me, next time I go to Tokyo, you will be my tour guide."

Conan froze for a moment, and just wanted to complain about how many times Hattori has been to Tokyo, so he needs to guide him, but when he raised his eyes, he met Hattori's serious eyes: "It's a deal, don't go back on your word."

After a while, Conan raised the corner of his mouth: "Well, it's done."

Only then did Hattori let him go, and Conan added: "By the way, that detective Koshien."

"what?"

"I'll leave it to you to solve the case this time, but in terms of solving the code, it seems that I've come out on top again." Conan curled his lips.

After all, Conan ran outside without looking back.

It took a few seconds for Hattori to understand what Conan meant, and scratched his head: "Really, I will definitely not lose next time."
