The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Wow!"

Soul Detective Hota Keito's astonishing speech caused an uproar in the audience.

Reina Mizuna, who was standing in the middle, immediately turned to Keito Hotta and asked: "Mr. Hota, are you serious?"

I saw Keito Hotta slowly lowering his hands, a dull Indian face nodded heavily, and said with a long breath.

"Absolutely nothing wrong..."

"The ghost of that maid has already told me. A high school detective once kept questioning her and forcibly pinned crimes on her that were not hers..."

"In the end, the maid couldn't stand the pressure and chose to commit suicide..."

As soon as Hota Keito finished speaking, Junya Tokatsu suddenly shouted: "No! That maid committed suicide out of fear of crime!"

"She tampered with the screws in the window frame of the room where the wealthy daughter hanged herself, creating a secret room and misleading the police into concluding that she committed suicide for the first time!"

"She is the murderer!"

"And Xiaosheng doesn't know the maid at all! So it's impossible to question her!"

Tokijin Junya pressed his hands tightly on the table in front of him, his face was very excited, and his long silky hair hung down on both sides of his face, even a bit ferocious.

On the other hand, when looking at Keito Hota, the stiffness of the Indian face gives people a sense of calmness.

"Mr. Shijin, you know the methods of this case so well, have you ever handled this case?"

"No!"

Tokijin Junzai was anxious and suddenly yelled, "The young man said he didn't know the maid, how could he have handled that case? The young man just told what was reported in the newspaper..."

"oh……"

Keito Hotta nodded in understanding, and then changed the topic, "That's strange, there are no screws on the window frame in the short video just now..."

"Fool!"

"Because the house filmed in that short film is not the Lavender Villa where the case occurred!"

As soon as Tokijin Junzai finished speaking, his eyes suddenly froze.

He realized that he had made a mistake, but it was too late.

At this time, the host Reina Mizuno had a look of confusion on her face, "What's going on? I never said that the scenes shot in the short film were fake..."

"Mr. Tokitsu, have you really been to the Lavender Villa on Shikoku Island?"

It wasn't until this moment that Tokijin Junya realized that he had fallen into a carefully laid trap.

This program is not at all intended to make him famous!

He wanted to leave immediately and quit filming.

But when he glanced at it, he saw a surveillance screen not far away. The camera was pointed at him, and the picture was broadcast simultaneously on the TV program.

This is actually a live broadcast!

My performance so far has actually been broadcast on TV!

Moreover, it happens to be the prime time period, and the number of viewers in front of the TV is the highest in a day.

If you leave at this time, it will definitely trigger a bigger discussion afterwards.

Even if he strongly denies having participated in the investigation of the Lavender Villa case, once the influence of the program becomes too great, the newspaper reporters who were in contact with him six months ago will definitely jump out and make a fuss.

Half a year ago, in order to put pressure on the Shikoku Island police and restart the investigation, Junya Tokizu chose to publicize the case methods he investigated in newspapers, which attracted enough attention.

For the sake of traffic, those journalists will help them publicize the methods of the case, and they will also break the news about their involvement in the case for the sake of traffic.

no……

We cannot step down now, we must find ways to reverse the situation and eliminate the impact.

After a brief internal weighing, Tokijin Junya's expression regained his composure slightly and he said quietly.

"There is nothing we can do..."

"Xiaosheng originally didn't want to mention that past incident again. The prisoner committed suicide because of his crime, which made Xiaosheng feel regretful..."

Tokijin Junya shook his head helplessly, and then changed the subject.

"But there is absolutely no problem with Xiaosheng's investigation. The maid broke off the screws that fixed the window frame and twisted the end of the screw cap into the surface of the window frame to pretend that the window was intact."

"After that, she hanged Qianjin in the room, pulled open the window, left the scene, and then restored the window frame with carpentry adhesive to create the illusion of a secret room."

"This is the truth of the case..."

Before Tokatsu Junya finished speaking, Hota Kaito shook his head and retorted: "No, this is not the truth..."

"The spirit of the maid has told me everything, and nothing can be more convincing than the truth coming from the dead man's own mouth."

At this time, the lights in the studio went dark, and the projection screen on the side of the stage lit up again.

This time I played a video recorded in a hotel room. The entire video filter was gray, like a style commonly used in ghost movies.

On the big bed in the hotel room, Keito Hotta was wearing a white suit and sitting cross-legged in the middle.

Next to his body are various weird gadgets such as small bones, lizard tails, dried puffer fish, and colorful eyeballs.

I saw Keito Hotta clasping his hands together and drawing a few circles in front of him, and he himself entered the "psychic mode".

Keito Hotta, who is in "psychic mode", lowers his head and puts his hands naturally on his knees, like an old monk who has passed away.

Suddenly, Hota Kaito suddenly raised his head again, rolling his eyes under his protruding eyelids.

At this time, a voice in the voiceover asked: "Who are you?"

Keito Hotta suddenly looked at the camera, the huge whites of his eyes were a bit scary.

He answered in a deep and heavy voice: "I am a maid at Lavender Villa..."

"Mizuguchi Kana..."

The voice-over continued to ask: "Who killed you?"

"Horita Kaito" answered: "It was a high school detective named Tokitsu Junya..."

"He forced me to confess to the crime of killing the young lady..."

The voice-over continued to ask: "Who killed the young lady?"

"Horita Kaito" answered: "The young lady committed suicide..."

"She was deceived by a man named 'Kondo'... She suffered from depression... She was emotionally unstable for a long time... …”

“Finally committed suicide…”

The voiceover finally asked: “Do you have any evidence to prove that the murderer is not you?”

“Horita Kaito”: “The screws found by Tokitsu Junya were left by a thief named ‘Cuttori’…”

“The marks on them were left recently, not at the time when the young lady hanged herself half a year ago…”

“And the young lady is suffering from depression, and the villa housekeeper also knows about it…”

Suddenly, “Horita Kaito”’s head suddenly tilted up, and his arms opened to both sides, as if some invisible force rushed out from his head.

“Ah——!”

“I’m so resentful!”

It seems that the soul of the maid is telling her resentment through the mouth of Horrita Kaito.

This weird scene that makes people’s backs chill, combined with the color tone of the underworld, made some timid female audiences subconsciously cover their eyes.

But their curiosity about the follow-up of the incident made them unable to hold back and reveal a gap between their fingers.

But then, in the video, Kaito Horita suddenly fell down and fell on the bed as if exhausted.

The video also stopped at this time, and the lights in the studio came on again.

The lights and cameras were focused on Junya Tokatsu's face.

At this time, Junya Tokatsu was still staring at the direction of the projection screen, and the shock on his face was not concealed at all.

He was not shocked by Kaito Horita's "psychic", but that everything Kaito Horita said was right.

There were even things he didn't know.

Half a year ago, when he was traveling through Shikoku Island, he heard about the "Lavender Villa Case".

After a rough understanding of the content of the case, he felt that there might be something hidden in the case, so he came to the villa to investigate.

Under the window of the suicide room, he found a few screws, and he felt that there was a trick.

In order to show his ability, he quickly contacted the reporter of the newspaper and published the trick in the newspaper.

The police had to restart the investigation due to pressure.

However, the maid was the only one serving the young lady in the villa during that time, so the maid was the first person to be suspected.

Tokatsu Junya also firmly believed that "the maid was the murderer".

Until one night, when he re-examined the evidence, he found that the marks on the screws were relatively new, not like they were left half a year ago.

There were also broken screws placed on the grass outside the window, and there was no rust at all for half a year.

This made him realize that there was a fatal flaw in his reasoning.

However, the police had already started investigating at that time, and the public attention was also very high. He did not dare to admit that his reasoning was wrong, otherwise his reputation as a detective that he had worked hard for several years would be completely ruined.

So he chose to explain to the police and the media to hide his name and left.

Later, he learned that the maid had committed suicide on the way to travel.

Although he vaguely guessed why the maid committed suicide, he did not dare to think about it carefully, let alone verify where the screws came from.

In this way, it has been delayed until today.

…

"Mr. Tokitsu, do you have anything to say?"

Facing the question from the host Rena Mizunashi, Tokitsu Junya's eyes widened, his eyes full of anxiety and fear.

"No, impossible!"

"All this is fake!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Impossible——!"

Suddenly, Tokitsu Junya rushed out of the studio like crazy in full view of everyone.

Until this moment, his subconscious behavior was to refuse to accept the fact that his reasoning was wrong, and he chose to escape directly.

Anyway, the words of the "ghost" cannot be used as evidence, as long as he doesn't admit it, he hasn't lost!

Tokitsu Junya ran out of the studio and rushed into the backstage lounge next door.

"Damn it!"

Tokitsu Junya stood in front of the dressing table and smashed his fist on the tabletop of the dressing table angrily.

He was tricked...

But how did he know those things?

How could that low-class charlatan know the details of so many cases, even the source of the screws and the fact that he had participated in the investigation of the case.

Psychic...

How is it possible?

There is no soul in this world!

"Soul..."

"Hehe..."

The corners of Shijin Junya's mouth raised a twisted angle, mocking himself for wanting to believe in the existence of "psychic" for a moment.

But at this moment, a figure quietly appeared behind him.

Shijin Junya was crouching in front of the mirror, and at first he didn't notice the abnormality behind him.

When he raised his head slightly to look at the mirror in front of him, he suddenly noticed a figure behind him.

"Hey!"

Shijin Junya turned around subconsciously, but because of the shock, the movement was too large, and his butt hit the dressing table, making a "bang" sound.

"Who are you!?"

Tokizu Junya looked at the woman in front of him in horror.

The woman had a pair of ponytails, and her head was mostly hidden by her long bangs. She was wearing a blue and white maid outfit, and an apron tied around her waist.

Suddenly, a memory of half a year ago flashed through Tokizu Junya's mind.

At that time, he was eager to "solve the case" and had found the maid herself to force her to confess her crime.

"You are..."

"Mizuguchi Kana!"

The figure did not speak in response, but raised his head slightly.

I saw that resentful eye staring at him from the broken hair of the bangs, and below was the gray corner of the mouth with blood.

"No, impossible!"

"You are the makeup artist... You want to scare me, right?"

"You are all in collusion!"

Although Tokizu Junya's body kept retreating, his mind was still clear at the first time.

A smile uglier than crying appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he forced himself to pretend to be very calm.

But at this moment, the door of the lounge suddenly opened, and the makeup artist appeared at the door.

"Mr. Shijin, the program team is still waiting for you to go back!"

"Mr. Shijin, what's wrong with you?"

Shijin Junya's butt almost sat on the table of the dressing table, and turned to look at the makeup artist standing at the door.

But the makeup artist seemed to not see the figure of the woman in front of him, and just looked at him with a puzzled look.

"You, you..."

"Can't you see her?" Shijin Junya asked in a trembling voice.

"See what?"

The makeup artist looked puzzled, "Aren't there only you and me here?"

At this moment, Shijin Junya's brain had no time to think more, and he turned his head again to stare at the figure in front of him.

Looking at the gray face that was constantly approaching, his legs began to tremble unconsciously.

"You..."

"You killed me..."

A long ghostly voice came out of the mouth of the female figure, which met all human fantasies about the voices of the dead.

At this moment, the lights in the lounge also began to flicker, accompanied by crackling sounds.

At this moment, Tokizu Junya's nerves, which were already stretched to the limit, were just right, and the emotional dam that had been squeezed for a long time collapsed like a tidal wave.

"It's not me!"

Tokizu Junya turned around and ran to the door, pushing away the makeup artist who was blocking the door.

But he ran too fast, didn't see the threshold under his feet, and was tripped at the door of the lounge.

He didn't care about the pain in his knees, and quickly turned around to look at the back of the room. The terrifying female figure was chasing him.

"Don't come over!"

"I didn't deliberately give false testimony! I didn't expect you to commit suicide!"

"It's not my fault!"

"Don't come over!"

Sitting on the ground, Tokizu Junya retreated while his other hand was rustling randomly.

But even so, it couldn't stop the "female ghost" from approaching him.

Until the palm of the "female ghost" approached his head, he was so scared that he quickly covered his head with both hands.

But after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened.

He tentatively released his hands from covering his head and looked around nervously, only to see the maid and the makeup artist standing in front of him.

Surrounding him were TV crew members holding cameras, shooting at his face.

The maid also took off her wig, revealing her short wavy hair underneath.

Under her cheerful smile were two cute little canine teeth.

"Haha~"

"Admit it!"
