Conan's All-Member Force Enhancement Plan

"The temperature in the basement is relatively low, and the condition of the body is also quite complicated. Like the bodies dumped before, it is impossible to accurately determine the time of death. We can only tell that the death occurred within 24 hours."

After a preliminary examination of the body, Conan Edogawa said the information of death with a frown. It is really troublesome that he cannot accurately judge the time of death.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suppressed his fear and observed the miserable corpse: "The fatal injury of the deceased was caused by the crushing of the throat bone. Judging from the bruises, the murderer's palm is relatively broad, the knuckles are thick, and the finger strength is strong."

Conan Edogawa nodded in agreement: "But why hasn't the body been dumped yet? Is it because there is not enough time?"

Mao Lilan's face was a little pale, but she still tried to calm herself down and think: "From the files, this murderer has only one victim in the past, and the intervals between crimes are usually long. This time, he kidnapped two people within three days. Maybe he was too late, right?"

Conan Edogawa carefully observed the basement and said, "No, I think the murderer may have had experience in imprisoning multiple people at the same time before. You see, there is more than one set of imprisonment tools here, and they are definitely not newly added. Looking at the signs of use, they should have been installed by the same batch and have been in use all the time."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya scratched his head: "But we didn't see any similar cases in the files. Although the information sent by Betty Bright has more suspected victims than the files, they didn't appear in the same period."

Conan Edogawa looked solemn: "So, this murderer is likely not only hunting noble heirs, but there are other cases that we don't know about."

Mao Lilan clenched her fists in anger, tears in her eyes: "This murderer is so abominable! How many lives has she killed!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya swallowed his saliva: "This murderer looks really cruel! Can we, can we really catch her?"

Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan shouted at the same time: "Of course!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya shrank his neck and said, "Okay, okay."

Edogawa Conan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go up first and search the inside of the house to see if there are any useful clues."

Mao Lilan said seriously: "We must act quickly. This murderer is a very cautious and cruel person. It will be very bad if he finds out that we have found this house."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya nodded: "Yeah, yeah, let's go up quickly then."

Edogawa Conan was the most anxious. He turned around and walked quickly towards the exit. Then he used the hand that was not holding the oil lamp to push open the basement entrance cover that was closed when he came down. After observing and finding nothing unusual, he pushed the cover open and said, "Come up quickly, let's look for clues."

Mao Lilan and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko were slightly stunned when they saw this. Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko blinked and whispered softly: "Conan is so strong."

Mao Lilan frowned slightly and bit her lower lip, as if she thought of something, but quickly shook her head to get rid of the thought.

The three of them walked out of the basement and decided to act together.

"squeak"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya opened the closet door: "There are two suits here, so the murderer is a man?"

Edogawa Conan was about to nod, but when he felt his pants on his legs, he tilted his head and denied, "Not necessarily. If it was a woman who committed the crime, it would be inconvenient to wear a skirt, so it would be reasonable for her to change into a suit to disguise herself."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya thought so too. He reached out and touched his suit: "Huh? What is this?"

He fumbled around and took something out: "Newspaper? It's Professor Moriarty's report!"

Edogawa Conan and Mao Lilan turned to look at him: "What's the content?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya glanced at it briefly and said, "It's an article praising Professor Moriarty's academic achievements. I found it in the inner chest pocket."

Mao Lilan asked curiously: "Is this to show respect for Moriarty or to know yourself and the enemy so that you can win every battle?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be more of a positive emotion."

Mao Lilan nodded and turned back to get the item she just wanted to look through. When she stretched out her hand, she found that she couldn't reach it: "Eh? I can't get it, who can help me get it?"

Edogawa Conan got closer and walked over to help Mouri Ran take the things down.

He looked around the room and said, "There is nothing in this room that is convenient to step on. It seems that the person using this room is a tall person."

After hearing this, Mao Lilan was stunned again, and looked at Edogawa Conan with some inexplicable scrutiny in her eyes.

Edogawa Conan looked over in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Mao Lilan touched her chin and said, "Actually, Conan, have you noticed that your character has some similarities to the murderer?"

Edogawa Conan was stunned: "Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya turned his head and looked Edogawa Conan up and down. "Indeed, Conan, you are very strong. It took Xiaolan and I to open the cover of the basement entrance together, but you can push it open with one hand."

Edogawa Conan was stunned, then laughed and said, "That's because you were bending down to pull the cover up, and I was standing underneath pushing it up. The muscles exerting force are different, so it looks like I'm more relaxed."

Mao Lilan shook her head: "But you are still very tall. We have met many people since we came to this game, and most of them are relatively short. You are already very tall and stand out from the crowd."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya recalled the people he had met in the past few days: "Indeed, most people on the street are not tall."

Mao Lilan took Edogawa Conan's hand and said, "And you see, your palms are very big, and your knuckles are very thick."

Edogawa Conan stared at his hands blankly: "...and I'm Moriarty's subordinate."

Mao Lilan nodded seriously: "Yes! So there is a high possibility that you will collect Moriarty's newspapers."

When Conan Edogawa heard the word "newspaper", he subconsciously looked at the suit in the closet, and then he seemed to remember something and pulled up the hem of his skirt: "Mitsuhiko, come and take a look, are my pants similar to the suit in the closet?"

Mao Lilan looked at Conan Edogawa with surprise when he pulled up his skirt and revealed his trousers: "You are wearing trousers under your skirt?!"

Not long after Suzuki Sonoko came into the game, she became disgusted with the complicated long skirt and wanted to change into something lighter.

As a result, she searched the room of her landlady, Mrs. Hudson, but could not find anything to wear outside except a complicated long skirt. She didn't have a pair of pants, and even her pajamas were long skirts.

At that time, Haibara Ai told Suzuki Sonoko that women in Europe in the late 19th century were not allowed to wear trousers, and trousers were exclusive to men in Europe at that time.

Suzuki Sonoko even sat in her room and cursed the damn patriarchal society, so both Mouri Ran and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko remembered that women could not wear pants during this period.

Then the pants that Conan Edogawa, as Lily White, is showing at this moment are very suspicious, especially since they are actually a pair of suit pants.

As for suits, they are basically the same, so Edogawa Conan's pants are really similar to the suits in the closet.

Edogawa Conan:......

He froze completely.

stunned!

Unbelievable!

incredible!

The murderer was me?!

Mao Lilan and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko smiled awkwardly: "Catching the murderer by catching the partner, this game is quite bloody."

Conan Edogawa held his forehead helplessly: "No way..."

Mao Lilan and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko looked at each other, stepped forward and patted Edogawa Conan: "Well, let's look for more evidence, maybe there are other possibilities?"

Mao Lilan comforted him: "There is no clue to prove that the murderer is a woman. Maybe you only have these characteristics as Moriarty's subordinate?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, being tall and strong, wearing clothes that are convenient for movement, etc., should be the characteristics that most bad guys have."

Conan Edogawa: ...Thank you, but being a bad guy won't make him feel any better, okay?

Mao Lilan cleared her throat and said, "Well, let's find more evidence. Let's collect all the clues first and then bring them back to discuss with Xiao Ai and the others."

Edogawa Conan pursed his lips: "Okay! But I don't think the murderer is me! I will never be so unlucky! Absolutely!"
