The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

Towako wasn't there, and this guy was annoying. I wanted to leave, but someone else invited me...

Alas.

Then two ladies urged me to drink. Maybe it was because of that thing, I felt drunk very quickly.

Some guests not far behind me talked about Eri and the case for some reason. I was a little upset, so I went to the bathroom alone.

On the way, I heard that lingering voice several times, and my body couldn't help but feel a little hot, so I planned to go out for some fresh air. I happened to pass by the lounge, the door was half open, and I was about to pass by, and I vaguely heard Eri's voice.

Then..."

Chapter 39 Perfect Crime!

Then, Maori Kogoro pushed the door open, and for some reason, he ignored the objective difference in appearance and mistook Towako from the nightclub for Kisaki Eri.

Stimulated by the ashtray that hit the head of a passerby, he rushed forward and started a fight.

A day later, at noon, Yamada Okao, who wanted to stop the fight but was accidentally involved, died of a medical accident.

Two days later, late at night, Gaoyuan Yi, who was beaten the worst, committed suicide in the hospital after leaving a last word.

Then, it's now.

After sorting out all this from the beginning, Megure Jusan felt a sense of panic in his heart.

If, he just said if, there is no so-called mastermind behind the scenes, all this caused by Brother Maori is really a bit too much.

The uneasiness in his heart made Megure Jusan involuntarily shift his sight and look at the thoughtful Kudo Shinichi.

Brother Kudo, you must be as powerful as ever, see through the fog and reveal the truth!

"In fact, we have investigated many places. ”

Kudo Shinichi began to analyze one by one:

“Yamada Okao knows about the relationship between you, Uncle Mori, and Aunt Eri, and you think this is very important. But in fact, you are just separated and have not divorced yet. As long as you are willing to investigate, you can easily find out, and it is not a doubt.

He kept calling you, which resulted in you not receiving Miss Towako's call. Such persistence is also quite consistent with his character as we have found out from our investigation.

Gaoyuan Yi asked the two ladies to entertain you, and it can indeed be considered that he deliberately designated Mie Kanako, but he could not have confirmed in advance whether the latter would send you cigarettes.

The guests behind you happened to be talking about Aunt Eri because she was on the front page of the evening newspaper, and the newspaper was used as a table mat, and someone accidentally saw it.

As for the sound on the road, no one admitted it when we asked and investigated, but it is not surprising to appear in such a place. Especially when you, Uncle Mori, are surrounded by the two ladies, you probably have already had lustful thoughts..."

“I definitely didn’t! "

Mouri Kogoro interrupted in a hurry.

"..."

Kudo Shinichi was speechless for two seconds, not wanting to refute him, and continued: "Going from the store to the toilet, or going directly to the backyard to get some fresh air, you will not pass through the lounge, only going from the toilet to the backyard will pass by, why did you make this choice at the time?"

"I drank a lot of wine, had to pee urgently, and then went to the toilet, it was on the way." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head: "The most important thing is not Eri's voice?"

Kudo Shinichi sighed: "People's senses are sometimes unreliable, especially at that time. We have verified that those words were actually said by Miss Towako."

"This..."

Mouri Kogoro was speechless. After such a series of analysis, isn't it his personal problem?

Megure Jusan was also quite puzzled: "Brother Kudo, according to you, this is an accident? The mastermind you said has never appeared at all. "

Kudo Shinichi shook his head, "Probability."

"What? "

Mouri Kogoro and Megure Jusan were confused and asked hurriedly. Kudo Shinichi explained:

"It is not deliberately pursuing the achievement of a certain goal, but just making arrangements on the side to create an environment that makes the probability of something happening higher.

For example, if A has asthma and B wants to kill him. B did not choose to do it himself, but talked about the beauty of the garden in spring, so that A inadvertently heard it, and then, A happened to pick up a limited-time coupon. "

"! ! ! "

The two people who were listening suddenly realized it, and Megure Jusan hurriedly said: "What if A took precautions and did not die from visiting the garden? "

"Of course, wait for the next time, the next time. "

Kudo Shinichi said in a low voice: "As long as B is not arrogant and impatient, and waits for the opportunity, countless high-probability dangerous events will accumulate, and A will be hit sooner or later. "

"Hiss——"

Megure Jusan took a breath and murmured in disbelief: "So that's it... That's it... Brother Kudo, for this kind of probabilistic event, the police can't get any evidence at all, isn't it a perfect crime?"

Mouri Kogoro also looked bitter: "Then it seems that I am really a fool, I was caught the first time."

"Huh? !"

Kudo Shinichi did not dwell on his feelings about the perfect crime, but immediately realized the point, looking at Maori Kogoro with burning eyes.

"Uncle Maori thinks this is the first time, could it be that he has made a new discovery along this direction?"

"I can't be sure, but the afternoon before I went to Ginza, someone came to my detective agency and asked me to help him find a stray cat. He said he didn't have money to pay the deposit, and gave me a stack of flyers, all for bars and nightclubs, saying that they could get discounts, and I might have been inspired by them."

"Absolutely!"

Kudo Shinichi's eyes widened: "Uncle Maori, can you describe his appearance?"

"Um...I was a little drunk at the time, and he was wearing a mask, so..." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head desperately, suddenly remembered some details, and said hurriedly: "He was wearing a pair of green rubber shoes, leaving a mark on the floor. So many muddy footprints!”

"Green rubber shoes... muddy footprints..."

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but think, the other two looked at him expectantly, but only a few seconds passed before he shook his head in disappointment.

"It didn't rain on Tuesday afternoon. The first guess is that it is a construction site, but there are no projects under construction near the Maori Detective Office. If it were farther away, the soil would have fallen off long ago. It is definitely just a disguise."

Kudo Shinichi thought this was useless information, but Megure Thirteen didn't think so, and waved his hand excitedly: "His superfluity has allowed us to once again confirm the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes. As long as it is reported to Matsumoto Police..."

"it's useless."

"What? Brother Kudo, you..."

"Oh, Officer Megure, even I would doubt it. Can this really be considered evidence?"

Kudo Shinichi interrupted again: "And I always feel that the man behind the scenes has given such specious clues twice, as if he is deliberately hanging us. I am a little worried that he will take the opportunity to secretly hatch other incidents."

"Nani?!!!"

Mumu Shisan was shocked for an unknown number of times, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what his brother said was very reasonable.

This serial case has dragged on the search for the third department for five days, consuming a lot of police resources. If the mastermind behind the scenes had carried out other criminal activities during this period, they might have been negligent and ignored it.

but!

Mumu Shisan said blankly: "No one has called the police these days. Are there no other cases?"

"Maybe I think too much, maybe the conspiracy behind the scenes is still lurking, or maybe what he is planning this time will not cause any public harm."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head: "Let's continue. Such a person is too dangerous. We must find him."

So the discussion continued, and because of the unknown haze, the air in the room became somewhat depressing.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning that the police knocked on the door and reported to Mu Mu Shisan.

The results of the comparison of Fei Yingli and Fei Yingli's profiles from various angles have been released.

Chapter 40 Kudo Shinichi’s bad nature!

Staying in the room, Mouri Kogoro flipped through the facial profiles of Fei Yingli and compared them one by one.

He was completely indifferent to those angles that the computer system judged to be highly similar.

But when he saw a certain left side view, his body suddenly shook, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Kudo Shinichi, who had been paying attention to him, quickly walked behind him and looked at the two photos.

Fei Yingli's makeup looks slightly younger than usual, and her already beautiful skin is more shiny and supple; her eyes are brighter against the black-rimmed glasses, and her eyeshadow is lightly smudged, as warm as the morning glow in early spring; her long brown hair is light and soft Plate, two strands hanging lightly in front of the forehead, adding a freshness to the elegance.

Is Xiaolan's mother so beautiful?

A strange thought suddenly came into Kudo Shinichi's mind. He quickly shook his head and looked at another photo of Towako from the same angle.

Emmm...in short, it's the low-end version.

Moreover, the similarity between these two pictures is not very high. Could it be that there are other factors involved?

After a while, Mouri Kogoro finally returned to normal and told the answer to the waiting two people:

"I seem to have seen Yingli look like this ten years ago."

Ten years ago?

Kudo Shinichi recalled carefully that ten years ago Aunt Eri had not separated from Uncle Maori, and he often saw her when he played with Xiaolan.

What was Aunt Yingli like at that time?

hiss--

Two fists suddenly flashed from his memory. Kudo Shinichi touched the non-existent big bump on his head and took a breath of cold air. No wonder he had completely forgotten that Aunt Yingli was Xiaolan's mother before. It turned out that he had been psychologically affected.

Speaking of which, the other fist hit Xiaolan.

What happened last time, he seemed to be...

"Brother Kudo, have you thought of anything?" Megure Thirteen saw Kudo Shinichi's sudden movement and looked forward to it.

Kudo Shin nodded: "A profile that is not very similar is meaningless. It must be connected to some impressive pictures to awaken the memory at that moment and make the drunken Uncle Maori recognize the wrong person. "

Mouri Kogoro thought hard after hearing this, but found nothing for a long time. Kudo Shinichi reminded again:

"Unless the mastermind behind the scenes knew you ten years ago, he would be able to create this specific profile. There is a high probability that he has photos as a template. Uncle Maori, think back to where you and Aunt Yingli took photos ten years ago. Where is the photo now? By the way, you must have been standing on the left.”

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he sighed and gave up thinking.

"There are so many photos like this, and they are all kept at home."

"..."

"..."

This sentence immediately silenced the two of them. It was over, and there was no way to continue the investigation.

Megure Thirteen also had another unique observation point. He stepped forward and patted Maori Kogoro on the shoulder, comforting him: "Brother Maori, it seems that your relationship with the lawyer was very good in the past. Why can't you figure it out now? What? Listen to my brother, go out and apologize to others, and start a new life."

“…”

Mouri Kogoro was speechless. Inspector Megure never mentioned such things before. Now it’s like this… Alas, maybe he performed too badly this time and was detained by the police, which made his image in the eyes of Inspector Megure plummet.

Since his old friend can’t handle his life alone, he must lend a hand.

To be honest, it’s quite touching.

But it just feels a little strange…

Seeing that Brother Maori still didn’t respond to this question, Megure Jusan shook his head and looked at another brother: “Brother Kudo, do you want to go to Maori’s house to investigate the signs of intrusion? Maybe there are photos stolen ten years ago.”

Kudo Shinichi, who was thinking about other directions, shook his head subconsciously: “There is no need for that. It’s been so long, even if there are signs, it’s highly likely that they can’t be found.”

Mouri Kogoro sighed: “Xiaolan has to clean up every day, and the footprints that day are also, which could have been used to judge the height and weight of the suspect.”

Kudo Shinichi frowned slightly, but didn’t speak, just continued to think.

Megure Jusan thought for a while: "Should I ask Xiaolan if she noticed anything?"

Mouri Kogoro shook his head in frustration: "Even if there is something wrong, she will only blame me for getting drunk and ruining the house. How can she notice such things?"

Kudo Shinichi also said: "Aunt Eri must have such photos at home. This direction of investigation is meaningless. We need to find another breakthrough."

"Okay."

Megure Jusan collapsed on the chair weakly, and his hand subconsciously touched the cigarette box in his pocket. After feeling the vague sight of Maori Kogoro, he paused and took out his hand.

"Brother Kudo, the days are long now, and it won't be long before the sun rises."

It's not that he doesn't want to support his brother, but first, there is pressure from above, and second, judging from the current situation, this is basically a dead end.

There are even some other rumors in the Metropolitan Police Department, which he can't tell his brother.

What forced explanation, abuse of power for personal gain, and protecting criminals...
