Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Conan, who had deduced the truth of the case, found a reason to pull Kogoro Mouri to the side of the car. After making sure that his actions here would not be discovered by others, he confidently knocked Kogoro Mouri down with an anesthetic needle.

The others saw him sitting on the ground with his head down in thought, and realized that he was about to start reasoning.

"Mr. Maori, you are going to put on a mystery show, right?"

"Well, before that, Officer Yamamura asks you to bring the boyfriend of the deceased in this case, Mr. Sanjiao, here."

Yamamura Sou didn't react for a moment, but relying on his trust in Mori Kogoro, he did as he was told.

Sankaku Atsushi, who was smoking in the car, was suddenly asked by Yamamura Sou to get out of the car. He asked anxiously, "Didn't Anmei commit suicide? Why is Mr. Maori still trying to reason?"

"That's right, I..."

Conan heard their conversation and explained: "Of course it's because Miss Anmei was actually murdered, and the murderer was you, Mr. Sankaku, who climbed into the car and rescued Miss Anmei!"

"what?!"

Unlike Sankaku Atsushi who was a little panicked, Mouri Ran and Hondou Eisuke stood aside and watched Mouri Kogoro's performance.

"Look, my father just lowered his head while talking. It's not like there's some so-called divine power descending on us."

Hondou Eisuke rolled his eyes and said, "It looks like that, but didn't you notice? There was a tuft of hair sticking out from behind the car. If I remember correctly, that was Conan, right?"

He reached out and touched Akutsu Jin to verify whether he was wrong.

Akutsu Jin nodded. Only Conan fit that height.

"Conan, standing there is to provide timely assistance to my father. He used to do the same."

"That's it."

Ran Mouri's words not only failed to dispel Hondou Eisuke's suspicion, but also deepened his curiosity about Conan.

Jin Akutsu glanced at the two of them, and his intuition told him that Hondou Eisuke would not be convinced so easily, but what did that have to do with him? Anyway, he was not the one who would encounter difficulties.

Sanjiao Du tried to prove that he had no motive for committing the crime. "Mr. Maori, I invited you to help me find my girlfriend. If I were the murderer, why would I do this?"

"Because you have to do this for a reason! You have to let people know that the car is a confined space, so that the conclusion that Miss An Mei committed suicide by burning charcoal in the car can be established!"

Hearing this, Shancuncao was confused. "Ah? Mr. Maori, this car is a confined space. It wasn't originally a confined space, but the gaps around it were covered with tape, creating a confined space artificially. Even the tape on it was torn off with great difficulty."

"That's right, but who would have thought that the tape on the passenger side had been cut in advance."

"Cut it in advance? But didn't you see Mr. Triangle cutting it with a utility knife, Mr. Maori?"

Maori Kogoro was questioned by Yamamura So repeatedly, but he did not get angry. He calmly analyzed the previous situation, "Yes, I saw Mr. Sanjia put one hand on the tape and cut it with a utility knife with the other hand. In fact, the tape he cut was just the first layer of tape, which gave us the illusion that it was very solid."

Yamamura Cao had never thought of this possibility and was shocked by Sanjiao Du's modus operandi.

Maori Kogoro's speculation continued, "First, when Mr. Sankaku drove Miss Anmei here, he made her drink coffee mixed with sleeping pills. After arriving at the destination, he put the unconscious Miss Anmei in the driver's seat, and then used tape to seal the gaps around the car.

He cut the tape on the passenger side vertically and pasted another layer on the surface. After opening the car door and getting out, he lit the solid fuel he had prepared in advance on the passenger side, closed the door, and everything was fine.

The last thing he had to do was to bring witnesses to find Miss An Mei, who had lost her life in the car. When we tried to open the driver's door, we found it was unusually solid, so we thought it was a confined space. "

Hondou Eisuke echoed, "That's right. When we saw Miss Anmei sitting in the driver's seat, our first thought was to open the door on her side. It didn't open, so Mr. Sankaku used a baseball bat to break the glass and get in. He pressed the tape with his hands, so when we checked later, we wouldn't have found that the tape was pasted on in a floating manner."

"Well, you guys can check the cuts in the passenger tape."

Yamamura Cao walked over to Kogoro Mori and carefully observed the tapes, and sure enough, he found two different cuts.

No matter how careful the cutter is, he will not cut along the previous seam 100%.

Yamamura Cao also connected the things that Conan mentioned just now that were wrong. Since they were driving a Sankaku, the driver's seat was so far away.

It was he who put Miss An Mei in the driver's seat, so there were creases on her clothes.

Sanjiao Du had not given up yet. "You are talking nonsense. Do you have any evidence?"

"Who said there isn't one? Officer Yamamura, you can take a look at what's in the box where the cigarette lighter is placed."

Yamamura Cao took out the paper, on which was a breakup note written by Miss An Mei, and it also mentioned that it was Sankaku Atsushi who brought her here.

How could he admit it and put the blame on the woman? "This might be a trap set by An Mei to frame me before she committed suicide!"

Looking at the man who was still quibbling, Conan decided to use his ultimate move.

"No, you are the murderer of Miss An Mei. How else can you explain that there are no fingerprints of yours on the novel, but there are fingerprints of both of you on the book cover? You should know that this novel was only published this morning. Your statement is that you have not seen Miss An Mei since last night, so your alibi is not valid.

Book covers are generally tailor-made according to the thickness and size of the books. The sizes of these two found in the car are exactly the same. If you don't believe it, you can ask the policeman to go to the bookstore to verify it.

Was there a man with a fierce look in his eyes who went to buy books this morning? "

After a fierce psychological struggle, Sanjiao Du finally admitted his crime.

"No, the clerks should have seen a helpless and sad man. You are right, my fingerprints were indeed found on the book cover. She was the one who ordered me around all the time, and I always responded to her requests... I thought I was her prince charming, but in her eyes, I was just a servant."

Sanjiao Du told them that he found a cigarette butt in the car. He confronted Anmei and found out that she had indeed cheated on him and used the car he bought with a loan to take another man for a ride. How could he not hate her?

"Believe me, I love her. I went to Detective Maori because I regretted it and wanted to quickly undo what I had done."

Suddenly, Jin Akutsu rushed forward and punched him.

"Shut your mouth. If you still love her, you wouldn't smash the glass in front of the driver's seat. You wouldn't care if the glass would scratch Miss An Mei. In fact, you have always wanted to destroy her!"
