The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 56 Another proof question

"Officer Takagi, don't you think the placement of the bed sheets is a little strange?"

In Apartment 504 of Muranishi Mami, Conan pointed at a gray bed sheet and asked Takagi Wataru.

"what?"

Takagi Wataru said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Is there anything wrong with this bed sheet?"

The bed sheet was gray all over and looked fairly neat. At first glance, there was nothing suspicious on it.

"Of course there is a problem."

Conan looked thoughtful. He first looked at the bed sheets and curtains, then looked at some tablecloths, tableware and other internal items in the kitchen. After thinking for a while, he said.

"The color of the sheets ................"

“The sheets are the wrong color.”

Just when Conan was about to state his conclusion, a cold and sharp voice came from behind.

When Takagi Shigeru, Conan and the others heard the familiar voice, they all turned around.

Sure enough, I saw the man with an icy temperament.

Takagi Shigeru hadn't seen Hakuba Song for a long time, so he greeted him happily.

"Inspector Hakuba, you're back from Osaka!"

Takagi Wataru was indeed very happy, after all, Hakuba Matsu was back.

Given Takagi Shigeru's ability, it would still be difficult for him to solve this case.

But now that Bai Masong is back, things are different. Bai Masong is now recognized as the top rising star in the police force, surpassing the likes of Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji. With him, this case will definitely be solved smoothly.

The case was solved, and as long as Mr. Higashida's innocence was proven, Sato Miwako would be saved.

"Well, I just came back tonight." Bai Masong said.

After Bai Masong finished speaking, Sato Miwako, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but ask.

"Takagi, how's your investigation going?"

Seeing that Sato Miwako had escaped from her predicament, Takagi Wataru seemed even happier.

"Officer Sato, you also successfully opened the handcuffs!"

"Ha, this is all thanks to Inspector Hakuba..."

Sato Miwako patted her chest with a look of relief. She called Hakuba Matsu and it happened that Hakuba Matsu returned to Tokyo and successfully rescued her. He then followed her to investigate the case. She told him everything that happened.

Takagi Shigeru was also happy for Sato Miwako. It was really a coincidence that Hakuba Matsu got there in time this time, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

"Brother Bai Ma............Hehe............"

When Conan saw Bai Ma Song coming, he waved at him obediently.

Hakuba Song also nodded towards Conan.

Although his face remained expressionless, Bai Masong was secretly complaining in his heart.

Kogoro Mouri came back a day earlier than him, and Conan must have followed him.

However, on the second night, Conan encountered a murder case again. This efficiency is really too high!

After some greetings, the two sides got down to business.

"We just asked the proprietress of the izakaya downstairs and got some information about Mr. Higashida and Ms. Muranishi. Then, we came to the apartment. You know what happened next. We just got here when you arrived."

Takagi Wataru summarized their investigation process and said.

"All the information we got is that Miss Muranishi likes beige, cacti, and the Tokyo Soul. Mr. Higashida often gets drunk and can pass out. The night before the murder, Mr. Higashida was also hungover and was helped home by Mr. Kitagawa."

Miwako Sato nodded repeatedly. When she came across some information about Higashida and Nishimura, Sato also looked at Mr. Higashida. Higashida also said that what the proprietress said was correct about these things.

"By the way, Inspector Hakuba, what did you mean by the color of the bed sheet being wrong?"

Sato Miwako suddenly remembered what Hakuba Matsu had said before, so she asked.

"The bed sheets and curtains are grey, but most of the other interior living items, including tablecloths, cutlery and other essentials, are beige."

Bai Masong explained,

"This shows that Miss Muranishi's favorite color should be beige, but for some reason, the beige sheets and curtains were replaced with gray."

After listening to Bai Masong's reasoning, Conan nodded repeatedly. He was worthy of being a friend he certified as being stronger than him. This time, without any information and only looking at the environment, he came up with the same reasoning as him. He was indeed much stronger than him!

"So what? What does this mean?"

Sato Miwako still didn't quite understand and continued asking.

"Mr. Higashida,"

Bai Basong did not answer Sato Miwako's question, but turned to look at Toda and asked.

"The items in your room should all be gray, right?"

"what?!"

Dongtian seemed very surprised and asked quickly,

"Mr. Officer, how did you know that?"

Everyone seemed very surprised, except Conan, who seemed to understand something and quickly recalled all the clues and information he had seen.

After getting confirmation from Dongtian, Bai Masong also confirmed his reasoning, so he explained to everyone,

"Ms. Muranishi's bed sheets have been changed in order to make Mr. Higashida think that this is his home."

"boom!"

Everyone's head exploded instantly as if struck by lightning.

After receiving the crucial hint, Sato Miwako immediately reacted and said,

"So, all the changes in the house are to make Mr. Dongtian recognize the wrong house?"

"Yes."

Bai Masong affirmed Sato Miwako's opinion.

"Ms. Muranishi is a fan of the Tokyo Soul, but Mr. Higashida has never liked the Tokyo Soul. So, Ms. Muranishi's Tokyo Soul calendar must be taken down."

"The same goes for cacti. Mr. Dongtian will never buy cacti, so if he sees a cactus, he will probably react. Therefore, cacti cannot be left indoors."

"The last point is that all of Miss Muranishi's furniture has been slightly moved around. These moves are also to better match Mr. Higashida's furniture orientation and living habits."

Bai Masong pointed out the unreasonable aspects in Muranishi Mami's apartment one by one, and made everyone realize that these unreasonable aspects all conform to a logic.

That is - to make Mr. Higashida mistake the room, or in other words, not to doubt that this is not his room.

After finishing his reasoning, Bai Masong showed a satisfied but cold smile on his face.

Well, this case is another original plot case.

Although he didn't remember it, it was obvious that it was another proof question.

The murderer is Beichuan, the only one whose name appears.
