The world of science is unscientific

With that, the dark-skinned detective led the way and rushed toward the building.

"Wait, wait for me!" Kogoro Mouri was a beat late, but he also chased after him.

"Yusuke-nii, aren't you going to go take a look?"

Ran Mouri looked at Yusuke Suzuki, who remained motionless, with some confusion.

"Too many people in the past actually hindered the evidence collection."

Increasingly lazy, Suzuki Yusuke made up a random excuse to get by. He wasn't a detective, so why was he in such a hurry to go?

Ran Mouri seemed to accept this reason easily, and turned to shout at the three bosses, telling them not to run around.

Meanwhile, the panting Blackie and Conan had found the deceased, who was none other than the newspaper reporter who had publicly provoked them earlier.

Chapter 123 The Lazybones Appears

The police arrived half an hour later.

After careful recollection, Yusuke Suzuki finally had a vague recollection: the murderer seemed to be that soccer goalkeeper.

Wait, isn't that Conan's idol?

He couldn't help but glance at Conan, who was pondering the message left by the deceased. Was today going to be a scene of fangirling disaster?

How painful it must have been for Xiao Ke...

Could he have misremembered? Yusuke Suzuki decided to think about it more carefully, and the more he thought about it, the clearer it became: the culprit was the goalkeeper.

Or should he step in and solve the case quickly?

After pondering for a while, Yusuke Suzuki shook his head and gave up. He decided to leave the matter to Conan and not interfere.

Sigh, this time it's not that he didn't want to participate in the case, but rather that it wasn't appropriate.

He was forced to sit on the recliner and drink, forced to chat and laugh with Mai Kuraki and Miho Komatsu, forced...

In short, this time it wasn't his fault.

A dozen minutes later, Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized that Yusuke Suzuki was gone.

"Ran, where is Yusuke?"

The bumbling detective felt this case was a bit difficult and could be a good opportunity to teach the detective a thing or two.

“I don’t know, he was just here a moment ago,” Ran Mouri said, opening the window. “Ah, he’s over there.”

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri pretended to jump out of the window. "You brat, chatting with two such lovely ladies! No way, I have to bring this guy back!"

"No, Dad!" Ran Mouri grabbed her father and wouldn't let go. "Yusuke is talking about work, so don't go and cause trouble."

"Let me go! Let me go..."

Hearing the sound, Suzuki Yusuke looked up. What was wrong with his teacher? Was he suddenly contemplating jumping off the building?

This scene wasn't in the original storyline, so it should be fine.

He turned to the two young women and continued to discuss the company's future development path and the feasibility of entering the film and television industry.

upstairs.

"Mr. Mori, can you please calm down?"

The police officer had a cold face, practically telling the clueless detective to leave the scene.

After glancing reluctantly downstairs, Kogoro Mouri turned back to continue the case discussion.

Under Conan's interference, the suspects became anyone who attended the party.

“Because after I and Heiji arrived here, a lot of people came immediately,” Conan continued. “I think the culprit must have been hiding in one of the nearby rooms and ran away while everyone was in a panic.”

"But if you put it that way, it will be too difficult to find the murderer."

"Huh?" Conan teleported in front of the corpse. "Come and look at this uncle's left hand. It looks like he's holding something."

"A leather... belt?"

Kogoro Mouri leaned closer to take a look and then closed his eyes in deep thought.

A moment later, the bumbling detective began to help everyone eliminate wrong answers, "In my opinion, the murderer must be one of the three of them!"

"The belt, it implies that only the strongest can wear it after a fierce battle, a symbol of the champion, which means that the murderer is the former boxing champion, Ricardo Barre."

After being refuted by Kazuha Toyama, Kogoro Mouri quickly changed his target, "That, that's professional soccer player Rai. He won championships for his team in Italy, Spain, and the United States, which perfectly matches the message of the '3' that the deceased was pointing with his fingers!"

Conan, who was being held by Ran Mouri, coldly retorted.

"Could the '3' he's making with his fingers be a reference to baseball?" Ran Mouri gestured a couple of times. "Think about it, pitchers always grip the ball with three fingers when they throw it."

This time it was Kogoro Mouri's turn to refute it. After a discussion, everyone was suspected.

“Some people also call belts bandages,” the officer sighed. “I think we should unravel this information first before looking for the killer.”

Upon hearing the word 'bandage', Kogoro Mouri had an epiphany.

“Band...3...band...3...Band...3,” the bumbling detective suddenly exclaimed excitedly, “Mr. Band! That’s right, it’s Mr. Bando!”

Officer Kame-tsugi leaned close to the black-skinned man and said speechlessly, "Heiji, is this guy really the sleeping Kogoro?"

"This..." Hattori Heiji gave an awkward smile, "He's not asleep yet, is he? In my opinion, we should study the messages left by the deceased afterward, and first investigate whether there was any gunpowder reaction, wouldn't it be better?"

"That's true, we'll have to filter out all the guests today."

This should be the second time Yusuke Suzuki has conducted a smoke reaction test, and he seems quite adept at it.

"Mr. Suzuki, are you familiar with these things?" Mai Kuraki asked curiously, seeing that he had prepared everything on his own without the police's explanation.

"I'm fairly familiar with it; it's not the first time I've done it."

This isn't the first time...

Mai Kuraki was shocked. What did her future boss do all the time? Did she frequently come into contact with shooting cases?

How mysterious!

After completing the gunpowder reaction test, Kogoro Mouri finally found an opportunity to approach the two women and chat with them, while Yusuke Suzuki went to talk to Conan and Heiji Hattori to learn about the progress of the case.

"Yusuke-nii, what do you think the death message means?" Hattori Heiji rested his chin on his hand. "I have a feeling this smoke test won't yield any clues."

“How would I know?” Suzuki Yusuke said irritably. “I’m not the dead man. Who would know what he was trying to say? He would have been better off writing on his skin with his fingernails than leaving such complicated information.”

Hattori Heiji: "..."

Yu-suke's words make a lot of sense. At this kind of scene, the deceased will be discovered very quickly. As long as the fingernail is used to scratch the skin on the arm or other parts of the body, the red mark left will be enough to wait until the body is discovered.

They no longer need to solve riddles.

Meanwhile, after parting ways with Mai Kuraki, Kogoro Mouri was still searching for someone named 'Bantō', while Conan had disappeared again.

"I'm going to find a place to sleep for a while. Wake me up when the case is over." Suzuki Yusuke yawned and left.

"Hey, wait a minute, Yusuke-nii..." Hattori Heiji tried to stop him, but the lazybones was determined to leave.

"Really."

Blackie muttered something, then turned and went upstairs to continue his investigation.

The light switches for each room are in the same location, so if they want to turn the indoor lighting on or off, they have to go inside and press the switches themselves.

Wait a moment.

Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered something, went inside and walked to the balcony window.

He remembered that the curtains on the French windows used to be open. If a steel wire were tied to the edge of the curtains so that they could be opened with a pull, people could do it from a distance.

“Absolutely impossible.” Conan said, leaning against the door frame. “I checked the room after the incident and didn’t find any traces of wire.”

"Of the three of them, Rekatis was the one closest to the crime scene in the room at the time, but after pressing the switch, it would take about 10 seconds to climb up the stairs to reach the crime scene. His left knee joint had been injured before, so he couldn't do it."

As he spoke, Conan immediately cleared all three bosses of suspicion, saying, "It's impossible for the three of them to have committed the crime during that period."

“I’m telling you, Kudo, something’s off with you today,” Hattori Heiji asked the question he’d been wanting to ask earlier. “You usually raise questions about guys with vague alibis from all sides.”

Chapter 124 Return to Tokyo

In the lounge.

Just as Suzuki Yusuke lay down, he suddenly remembered that he should inform Gin about his trip to America, even though the organization hadn't contacted him for quite some time.

Take out your phone.

I'm going to the US for a while in three days. —Grouse

Gin replied instantly; it seems the organization really hasn't had much to do lately.

[Your current location. —Gin]

【Osaka——Grouse】

After waiting for about two minutes, Gin sent the address.

Come here—Gin

Yusuke Suzuki replied "OK," deleted the email, and left the lounge.

It's already past 8 PM. We still have time to get back to Tokyo. If we want to rest, we can do so on the train.

He never expected that sending an email would result in a temporary assignment.

He took out his phone, called Kogoro Mouri, gave him some instructions, and then left.

After arriving in Tokyo, I had just stepped out of the station when Heiji Hattori called.

"Yusuke-nii, is something wrong that you're in such a hurry to go back?"

At this point, the case over there should be closed. Suzuki Yusuke got into a taxi. "I'm going to the United States the day after tomorrow. Something came up at the company and I need to handle it. How's the case going?"

The excuse he made up sounded very incongruous, because he almost never cared about company affairs, but when the other party trusted him to a certain extent, he could use language skills to get by.

For example, after answering, he immediately asked about the case on the other side, diverting Blackie's attention.

"The case is solved. The culprit is soccer player Ray Cartes. The method was quite simple, but it's not good for Conan..." Hattori Heiji glanced at Conan, who was still lost in thought beside him, and lowered his voice, "He's a huge fan of Mr. Cartes, and his idol committed such a crime..."

“It’s a kind of growth for him too,” Suzuki Yusuke recalled that the Moonlight Island incident he missed had a great impact on Conan as well. “Let’s not talk about it now, let’s comfort Conan.”
