Next, Mori Kogoro

Chapter 70 [070] Conan's Reasoning
"Sorry sorry, I'm late."

Kogoro staggered out of the car, but when he entered the door he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"You... are the famous detective Mori Kogoro?"

Henggou Sanwu looked suspiciously at the drunk in front of him.

"That's right, next is Mori Kogoro, a famous detective who is not a famous detective."

As he said that, Kogoro burped for a long time.

"Sorry, my husband drank a lot tonight, so..."

Fei Yingli, who was in charge of driving, suddenly frowned: "Xiao Ai, Conan, and Dr. Ali, why are you here?"

broken.

Both Conan and Dr. Ali felt a tight calf.

"Because Dr. Ali's friend sent a document to Professor Hirota by mistake, Dr. Ali brought us here to get it."

Xiao Ai said calmly.

"Is that right?"

Fei Yingli stared at Dr. A Li, and Dr. A Li nodded quickly: "That's right."

"What kind of materials, I have to come here in such a hurry to get them at such a late hour, and I also brought two children with me."

With her hands on her hips, Fei Yingli scolded Dr. Ali unceremoniously.

And what else can Dr. A Li say, he can only admit his mistake obediently.

As for Conan, he was thinking hard at this time.Before Kogoro arrived, the three people who had been to Professor Hirota's house tonight had all arrived.

They are Yoshiro Shirakura who came to Professor Hirota to ask for photos of his previous disguise, Kazuhiro Hosoya who wanted to ask Professor Hirota to write a recommendation letter for his daughter, and Michio Morioka who often came to Professor Hirota to play chess.

From the current point of view, these three people have time to kill, but before the secret chamber technique is solved, it is useless to say anything.

Conan stared at the landline in front of him, he felt that he was close to the truth.

The landline that fell to the ground had an automatic answering function, and there were fourteen phone messages that night, including two by Morioka Michio and ten by Shirakura Yang.

The last call was from an insurance seller, which didn't sound like it had anything to do with the case.

The secret may lie in these phone messages...

Is it an audio tape?
But even if the key is tied with a tape, it is impossible to put the key under the book without any mistakes, right?
And Xiao Ai, who was on the side, had been watching Conan silently, and the report of her sister's death in the newspaper and what Kogoro said to herself kept appearing in her mind.

"...Don't blame that kid, he has tried his best..."

"...I've tried my best..."

"...I did my best..."

"Mr. Maori, if you can't, drink some water first, let's sober up before entering the scene."

Henggou's enlightenment words interrupted Xiaoai's meditation.

"Haha, how can a few glasses of wine stop me, Kogoro Mori?"

Kogoro staggered into the study, his drunken appearance immediately attracted the attention of the three suspects.

"Officer, what's going on, why are there still alcoholics?"

"That's right, go to sleep after drinking too much, what are you doing here?"

"Did he also visit Professor Hirota tonight?"

Facing everyone's doubts, Henggou Sango forced a smile: "This is a famous detective from Tokyo, Mori Kogoro..."

"A famous detective? I don't think so, but a famous alcoholic."

Morioka directly interrupted Henggou's words: "If the police can only rely on such drunkards to solve the case, then please forgive me for not accompanying me. It's too late, and I'm going home to sleep."

"That's right. It's obviously an accident. It's not a murder in a secret room, and a drunkard is called. Are you reliable in the police?"

Bai Cangyang also complained.

"Whether it's reliable or not, you'll find out in a while, handsome boy."

Kogoro staggered two steps forward, suddenly grabbed Bai Cangyang's shoulder, and looked at him with drunken eyes: "Tsk tsk, if you put on makeup and a wig, you will definitely fascinate a lot of men... "

Bai Cangyang had goosebumps all over his body, and he shook off Kogoro violently: "You pervert, stay away from me."

Just as chickens were flying around, Xiao Ai walked up to Conan and said in a low voice, "It's useless, I'd better leave this place to Uncle Mao Li, let's leave quickly."

Conan didn't raise his head: "You also heard that the last call to sell insurance was abnormal?"

Xiao Ai nodded: "Although it has been processed, I can still hear the voice of Vodka. And Vodka is Gin's loyal younger brother. With him, it means that Gin is also nearby."

"The more this is the case, the more we have to calm down. Maybe they are watching secretly outside. If we leave rashly, it may arouse their suspicion."

Conan frowned: "The only way to get out smoothly now is to solve this case and leave openly."

"So what have you come up with?"

Conan shook his head: "There is a clue, but it is almost impossible to connect."

Little sighed, squatted down, picked up a chess piece, and put it on the landline in front of Conan: "After Uncle Maori came in, he only stayed a little longer on the chess pieces when he looked at all the items. Maybe he found something out of it."

"Uncle? Chess?"

Conan suddenly jumped up and said anxiously: "I understand the method of killing."

Everyone looked at Conan in a little surprise.

"Everyone, please see that the murderer first pulled out the tape, tied the key on it, and then pulled it out of the door. Then he used three upside-down chess pieces, forming a triangle, against the relatively thin hardcover book. After that, only Make a call and let the call be recorded. As the tape recorder turned, the tape carried the key into the room, and at the same time as the chess was knocked down, the key was also pressed under the book."

Conan simulated with another tape: "In this way, a perfect secret room technique has been achieved."

Henggou Shenwu looked at Bai Cangyang fiercely: "If this is the case, then the murderer is you who called the most?"

"Stop joking, how can you assume that I am a murderer just because I make too many calls?"

Bai Cangyang said anxiously.

"Don't forget the fingerprints on the tape," Conan said in a deep voice, "you can't make such an exquisite layout with gloves on, not to mention that you should kill people on a temporary basis, let alone prepare gloves in advance, so there must be fingerprints on the tape. A lot of your fingerprints, that's the evidence."

"...Originally, I came to ask for the photo of me disguised as a man, but Professor Hirota only gave me the photo without makeup. Because I had plastic surgery, I didn't want that photo to be exposed, so I got angry , so I just..."

Bai Cangyang was silent for a moment, then said quietly: "When I regained consciousness, Professor Hirota fell to the ground. As for what happened later, the little brother wearing glasses explained everything."

"What about the photo?"

Henggou Shenwu asked in a deep voice.

"Because Professor Hirota has the habit of scanning photos into floppy disks, but for a while I didn't know which floppy disk the photo was on, so I simply took all the floppy disks away and put them in my car now." In the locker."

As he said that, Bai Cangyang looked at Conan, and smiled wryly in a low voice: "Thinking about it now, I was really smart and thought that no one could crack this trick. I never thought that even elementary school students would not hide it."
