Kexue Magician

Chapter 26
Mihua Shrine, in front of the hall of worship.

The deceased, Anzai Morio, was lying face down on the approach, with a clean watch on his bloody left hand, and the word "コマイヌ" written in blood on his bloodstained right finger.

In addition, there were clean hats, vests, and blood-stained knives beside Anzai Moruo.

The obese and orange police officer is very eye-catching, he scans everyone who comes.

"oops!"

"Brother Fengchu, you are here!"

When Police Officer Mu Mu saw Feng Chu, he immediately shouted in surprise, and even went to meet Feng Chu on purpose.

During the Moon Shadow Island incident a few days ago.

Feng Chuzhi, the famous detective Mori Kogoro, used superhuman wisdom to solve the murder case of Keiji Aso and his wife and daughter 12 years ago, so that the flame of revenge was extinguished in advance.

Also with high-strength martial arts, he easily knocked down the seven prisoners holding crossbows, preventing everyone from being hurt.

Except for Mori Kogoro and Conan, Asai Narumi and others' sincere admiration for Fengchu was fully expressed in the process of police officer Megure's record!

Police officer Mumu has already determined in his heart that Fengchu will be a famous detective comparable to or even surpassed Kogoro Mori.

In this way, he has thirteen eyes, Kudo Shinichi and Mori Kogoro on the left, and Fengchu on the right, so he no longer has to worry about strange and complicated cases that cannot be solved.

"Officer Megure, hello."

Feng Chu, who didn't know what Police Officer Mumu was thinking, smiled and said.

Quan Teng Takemin, Okino Yoko and the others could not help being curious when they saw that the Megure Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department valued Feng Chu so much.

Officer Megure nodded before returning to his serious police officer image.

"This is a homicide!"

"According to Article 42 of the General Provisions of the Japanese Penal Code, if a criminal turns himself in before the search agency finds out, his sentence can be reduced."

"I don't know if the murderer is among you. If so, I hope you can take the initiative to plead guilty and be lenient."

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Police Officer Mu Mu glanced around and said righteously.

Everyone was silent for a while, no one made a sound, and no one came out to confess.

Police officer Mu Mu couldn't help shaking his head, and thought to himself—this is a typical example of not crying when you don't see the coffin!
Before everyone came together, Police Officer Megure had already asked the deceased's superior, the director Taketoshi Gondo, and thus learned that the deceased An Xishou had a general character, behaved strangely, and always said inappropriate words.

Therefore, it is possible that the person who killed Anxi Shounan was not intentional murder, but manslaughter or excessive defense.

Therefore, Police Officer Mumu wanted to give the murderer a chance to surrender himself.

Of course, it is also to reduce the workload for myself. After all, it is late at night, and the office of the Metropolitan Police Department is still comfortable.

It's a pity that the murderer didn't stand up and didn't recognize the situation!
Don't even look at who is here!In addition to our Metropolitan Police Department, there are Brother Maoli and Brother Fengchu here!
Officer Meguro was thinking about it, when the inspection staff next to him came to him and whispered in his ear:

"Officer, the fingerprints on the knife have been swabbed, but no fingerprints were found."

Police officer Mu Mu couldn't help frowning, the murderer was quite cunning.

Then, he looked at Mao Lilan and Okino Yoko, the two first discoverers, and asked, "Xiaolan, did you see any suspicious people passing by before you found the body?"

Mao Lilan was undecided, she held Okino Yoko's hand, and replied:

"At 22:30, we saw a black figure on the stone steps. The black figure ran away when it saw us. We hesitated for a while and then chased after it. Then we found the body."

"Because it's too dark here, we can't tell whether the black shadow is a man or a woman."

"Is that so?" Officer Meguro thought.

"At 22:22, when you were going out, you just saw Anzai Shounan walking out of the room, and the time when you found the body was 30:[-]."

"That is to say, the crime was committed between 22:22 and 30:[-]."

Police Officer Megure touched his chin with his white-gloved right hand, and was about to ask everyone for their alibi.

Yet at this moment.

Mori Kogoro put his hands on his chest, and smiled triumphantly: "Hmph, heh, heh."

Everyone looked at Kogoro Mori one after another.

"Brother Maori, what are you laughing at?"

"Could it be, have you already cracked the case and found out who the murderer is?"

Police officer Mu Mu was puzzled at first, and then asked with a hint of surprise.

"That's right, Mr. Inspector."

"This incident was so simple that I couldn't help but laugh."

Kogoro Mori, enjoying the attention of everyone, even raised his mustache proudly. He stretched out a finger and said:
"First, it is the tool used by the murderer, that is, the knife."

"As a consultant for the TV series "The Smiling Intimidator", I, Kogoro Mori, can tell at a glance that this knife is a prop used in the filming of Nikmai TV."

"Second, the コマイヌ written by the murderer, which means 'stone lion', refers to the shrine."

"So, the murderer is you—Miss Mamegaki Taeko!"

"Only you, as the screenwriter who manages the props, can easily take away the props without being discovered. At the same time, in the TV drama location team, only you are from the shrine!"

"It must be so, the reasoning of the famous detective Mori Kogoro is absolutely correct!"

Mori Kogoro pointed confidently at Taeko Mamegaki and said.

"how is this possible!"

"How could Taeko kill someone! Impossible!"

Hisakuzu Mamegaki, who had white beard and hair, was very angry. He immediately stood in front of his granddaughter Taeko Mamegaki and said loudly.

"Old man, it's only natural that you don't want to believe that your granddaughter is a murderer."

"But let me ask you, Ms. Taeko, at around 21:20, after Morio Anzai left the banquet, you also left, and it took nearly an hour to go, am I right?"

Mori Kogoro bypassed Mamegaki Hisaku and asked Mamegaki Taeko directly.

Mamegaki Taeko lowered her gaze, clasped her hands together, and said, "I'm just going back to the shrine to get cosmetics."

"Can someone testify for you?" Mori Kogoro asked.

"No, my grandpa isn't at the shrine, so it's just me."

Mamegaki Taeko said without looking directly at Mori Kogoro.

"Hmph, so there is no alibi?" Mori Kogoro said with a smug smile.

Officer Megure also stared closely at Taeko Mamegaki.

"But Mr. Mori, when we went out at 22 o'clock, we saw Miss Taeko and Mr. Anzai passing by." Okino Yoko said.

"Yes, Dad, I saw it too." Mao Lilan said.

"Ah, this..."

"Ms. Taeko has been in Room 4 since she came back, so, isn't that the crime is impossible?"

Mori Kogoro frowned and said to himself.

Police officer Mu Mu's face was full of black lines - good guy, after a long time, it turned out that it was impossible to commit the crime, Brother Maori, can you do it!

"Ahem, ahem, I'm sorry, Ms. Miaozi, this is all a misunderstanding!"

Mori Kogoro apologized without integrity.
