Conan: Naruto

Kudo Shinichi regained his composure, looked at the door of the locker room with a solemn expression, and thought seriously in his heart:

"The murderer anesthetized Nishijima Naoya with ether, and then...

I see, this must be a murder case! "

"Haoyue, follow me!"

Kudo Shinichi involuntarily grabbed Dongfang Haoyue's right hand who was thinking about it, and quickly ran to the door of the locker room.

--------

on the corridor.

1 minutes later.

"So... this is a murder case?"

Dongfang Haoyue was walking along the corridor, while curiously looking at Kudo Shinichi on the right.

Shinichi held his chin with his right hand, and walked a little faster, while looking down at the road under his feet, he pondered and analyzed:

"When the murder happened, that is, after we guests went back, it was not easy for outsiders to enter the locked club.

Then in this murder case, the murderer is very likely to be an insider of the club.

Eh......? "

Kudo Shinichi looked at Dongfang Haoyue's left hand poking the ribs in his waist in surprise, and received the reminder from Haoyue's eyes, looked up at the club office number on the right, and found that he had arrived at his destination.

Just at this time, two staff members carrying garbage bags walked out of the office.

Kudo Shinichi looked at the staff and called out in a friendly way:

"Two big brothers!"

"What is it?"

The staff stopped and looked at Kudo Shinichi in bewilderment.

Xinyi stretched out his finger to the office door, and confirmed earnestly:

"Is the club's condolence reception held here?

Did anyone leave the meeting midway? "

"Eh...even if someone left, we wouldn't notice."

The staff explained kindly:

"Because it was so lively at that time, no one would pay attention to who left the venue."

"Thank you, big brother."

Kudo Shinichi thanked with a smile, and immediately dragged Dongfang Haoyue and ran towards the exit of the club.

The two staff members watched them drift away with a confused look on their faces.

--------

1 minute later, on the street outside the club.

The moon is in the sky.

Kudo Shinichi leaned on Dongfang Haoyue's shoulder, and analyzed quickly:

"According to the analysis of the clues provided by the staff just now, it is very likely that the murderer left the venue halfway and killed Saijo Naoya.

As far as I know, there are only three people currently on the opposite side of Saijo.

First, Reiko Saeki, who was threatened for tax evasion.

Second, Hisahi Kijima, whose diving representative rights were taken away by Saijo.

Third, Naruse who appeared in the candid photo.

The murderer must have been one of the three. "

"That's it~"

Suddenly, Dongfang Haoyue ran into the apartment building opposite the glass exterior wall of the club swimming pool, and said firmly:

"So the only obstacle to the current reasoning lies in the testimony of eyewitnesses. Now we are going to confirm whether there is any error in the confession!"

"Correct!"

Kudo Shinichi jumped off Dongfang Haoyue, stood on the floor of the second floor of the apartment, took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and lightly pressed the doorbell of the witness's room.

Ten seconds after the doorbell rang.

"Oh!

It turned out that two children came here! "

A white-haired old man in a wheelchair pushed open the door, put his left hand on the doorknob and his right hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, and looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi in front of him with a smile.

The old man asked curiously:

"You guys came here specially to look for my old bone, what happened?"

"Grandpa, hello, my name is Edogawa Conan."

Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand towards Dongfang Haoyue on the left, and introduced seriously:

"His name is Dongfang Haoyue."

Kudo Shinichi paused for a second and explained with a smile:

"It's our detective uncle, let's come here to ask the old man some questions."

"Ask questions?"

The white-haired old man put down his left hand and invited with a kind smile:

"Then you come in with me first, it's too cold outside, my old bones can't bear it."

Before the words were finished, the white-haired old man drove the wheelchair to the house.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi looked at each other, followed the old man decisively into the room, and closed the door politely.

After five seconds.

"Wow!"

Looking at the dazzling array of paintings in the room, Dongfang Haoyue sincerely admired:

"These paintings are so beautiful~!"

"Hahaha!"

The white-haired old man stroked his beard with a smile, and joked happily:

"Those are just my old bones' pastime, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

"This is!?"

Kudo Shinichi stopped in front of a drawing board, looking solemnly at the sketches on the drawing board.

Dongfang Haoyue heard the movement, looked at the sketch curiously, and discovered...

In the sketch, a well-built man poses in an elegant diving posture in the air, with a round moon shining behind him.

In addition, there is a reflective arc with deep meaning, which is subtly presented in the sketch.

Kudo Shinichi regained his composure, turned to look at the white-haired old man, pointed to the sketch with his left hand, and asked seriously:

"Grandpa, is this your sketch of the swimming pool seen from the window?"

"exactly."

The white-haired old man looked at Kudo Shinichi, smiled kindly and said:

"My old bones create paintings at a fixed time every day. Many people know about this matter."

Kudo Shinichi repeated in surprise:

"Fixed time?"

"Correct."

The white-haired old man narrated peacefully:

"This painting is what I created tonight, it's just..."

The white-haired old man looked down at the floor in frustration, and said regretfully:

"That young man named Naoya Saijo...is such a pity.

It was all because he turned off the light and barely practiced in that dim environment, that unfortunate things happened.

Ugh......"

The white-haired old man slowly shook his head and sighed deeply.

Dongfang Haoyue looked at the old man, and repeated in disbelief:

"He turned off the lights!?"

"Yes."

The white-haired old man looked at Dongfang Haoyue and explained softly:

"So I made a sketch of his high-altitude diving figure on the spot with the full moon as the background."

"That is to say..."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the white-haired old man solemnly, and confirmed solemnly:

"You didn't see Mr. Saijo's face at that time."

"right.

but......"

The white-haired old man nodded and said with sincere emotion:

"But it was a beautiful sight."

The white-haired old man looked up at the ceiling, and described longingly:

"I seemed to see the brilliance on his face, and suddenly I felt a spring of inspiration, so I meticulously drew this sketch according to the scene at that time.

I also called it... Leap in the Moonlight. "
