Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

While Conan was still wondering what was going on, the two suspects began to answer according to their own timeline.

"Well... I had something important to go home for, so I went back at 9 o'clock and came back around 10 o'clock." Mamegaki Taeko answered cautiously.

"I left the house a little before 10 o'clock. I didn't pay attention to the exact time, but I was back about minutes later."

Shimazaki Yuji made his testimony a little vague, so that if there was anything wrong, he could take the blame for Mamegaki Taeko. It turns out that true love is invincible!

After a brief consideration, Inspector Megure found that the timeline of these two people did not match the time of the crime, so he turned his attention back to Nachi Shingo.

"Well, handsome guy, I would like to ask, you were at the Teitan Hotel between 10 o'clock and 10:30. Is there anyone who can serve as a witness to the time?" Inspector Megure could only helplessly follow the tone of a self-proclaimed handsome guy and ask questions.

"I was in the hotel bar before 10 o'clock, and many people can testify for me!" Nachi Shingo said proudly, and made a cool gesture.

"I meant after ten o'clock!" Inspector Megure emphasized again.

"I'm staying in the hotel room!" Seeing the serious expression of Inspector Megure, Nachi Shingo also restrained himself a little.

"I've always been alone and there are no witnesses!" Nachi Shingo said impatiently.

"Then there's nothing we can do. That means when Xiaolan and the others saw the shadow around 10:30, you were the only one without an alibi, and you deliberately didn't stay at the hotel with everyone else. Mr. Nachi, you're a serious suspect!"

Inspector Megure, who is a seasoned detective, makes a rare confident deduction.

"Baga! There's nothing I can do about it! It's not like I'm deliberately avoiding everyone else. It's just that my pride as a handsome guy won't let me stay in a second-rate hotel like this!"

Nachi Shingo still has this hot temper. Apart from being greasy, he is just hot-tempered. There is no other third way or approach.

"Inspector Megure, we found these photos in the deceased's room!" At this time, a policeman came to Inspector Megure with the clues he had just found and asked for credit.

When Nachi Shingo saw the photo, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had a premonition that things were developing in a direction that was not favorable for him.

"Huh!? This photo..." Inspector Megure began to look at Shingo Nachi with suspicion. Now, he really began to doubt him.

"This is a photo of Mr. Nachi and a woman walking out of the hotel arm in arm!"

"Oh~ It's the actress Ritsuko Akiyama!" Kogoro Mouri also came over at this time and shouted out after seeing the woman in the photo.

"But she's already married!" Another staff member working on location shooting said subconsciously.

Holy crap! This is a shocking news, guaranteed to be hot! It's so exciting! A hotshot cheating on a married young actress. This will definitely make the headlines tomorrow!

"Is this the evidence of an affair?" Inspector Megure's expression became even more serious, and he kept looking at Nachi Shingo with suspicion.

"Oh! If that's the case..." Xiaolan suddenly realized something.

"Ran, what do you know?" Mouri Kogoro asked, turning his head and hearing Ran's puzzled voice.

"In the evening, Conan and I saw Mr. Anzai threatening Mr. Nachi." Xiaolan told what she saw in the afternoon.

"Mr. Nachi was threatened!?" Inspector Megure asked in shock. Now Nachi Shingo's suspicion level has reached the highest level.

"You are the murderer after all!" Kogoro Mouri grabbed Shingo Nachi's collar and said.

"Hey, hey, hey~ I already said it's not me! What would it mean if I were the criminal?" Nachi Shingo pushed away Mouri Kogoro's hand and argued.

Now that you have been certified by Maori Kogoro, you are safe. Using Maori's method of elimination, you have eliminated one wrong answer.

"Could that be your nickname?" Kogoro Mouri didn't care, crossed his arms and asked Nachi Shingo back.

"Bakayarō! How could a handsome guy like me have such an ugly nickname as Stone Lion? Impossible!" Nachi Shingo was really anxious now.

When Kogoro Mori said that the stone lion might be his nickname, Chi Shingo, it really challenged his bottom line and was more painful than killing him.

"Well...Mr. Nachi should not be the murderer!" Yoko Okino stood up and said at this time.

"What!?" Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri were particularly shocked because this was said by Yoko Okino.

"Ms. Yoko, do you know anything?" Kogoro Mouri asked impatiently.

"Uh...yes! Actually, we just heard some noise up there at half past ten and came up to check. There's no evidence to show that the crime happened at exactly half past ten!"

Yoko Okino stood up and said.

In fact, Yoko Okino was able to stand up and reason and analyze with the encouragement of Fujiwara Hiroshi. Fujiwara Hiroshi felt that the reasoning she had explained to Conan before was very good.

In this way, you can try your hand at reasoning, and maybe you can even star in a detective drama in the future to expand your acting range!

"Soga! So, Miss Yoko, when do you think the crime took place?" When Kogoro Mouri heard Yoko Okino start her reasoning, he excitedly became Yoko Okino's supporting actor.

"The incident probably happened before 10 o'clock. My husband said at the time that Mr. Anzai might have died. Did Conan rush out to look for Mr. Anzai?

It's a pity that after rushing out, we found nothing. But I think Mr. Anxi was killed before ten o'clock!"

Yoko Okino gave her own judgment.

"Brother Fujiwara said that the victim was already dead at that time?" Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori also began to think deeply with their heads down, because the suspects before and after ten o'clock were completely different.

"Um... Miss Yoko, didn't we hear Mr. Anxi's alarm clock at ten o'clock and see his back as he walked away from us? Have you forgotten?"

Xiaolan was completely confused when she heard this, because this didn't make sense! They had clearly seen Mr. Anxi together at 10 o'clock, so how could he have been dead by then?

"Is that really Mr. Anzai?" Fujiwara Hiroya came out to help Okino Yoko and asked Xiaolan.

"Of course it's Mr. Anxi, that unique alarm clock sound, and his back..." Xiaolan paused when she said this.

"That's right! Sister Xiaolan, we only saw a silhouette and heard the sound of the alarm clock, so we can't conclude that it was Mr. Anxi himself!"

At this time, even Conan started to come out. Conan thought that since Yoko Okino had started to reason, it would be reasonable for him to come out and show off as well!

"Conan!" Xiaolan was also surprised. Conan's sudden voice surprised her. Fujiwara Hiroshi also felt that Conan was now too proud and was too lazy to pretend.

"We can only say that we saw the back of a man dressed as Mr. Anxi, and with the unique sound of Mr. Anxi's watch alarm, we subconsciously judged it to be Mr. Anxi!

In fact, it could be Mr. Anxi, or it could be someone else pretending to be Mr. Anxi!"

Conan really did not hide anything and directly gave up the tool man Mouri Kogoro as a cover.

"But what's the point of this?" Xiaolan still didn't understand what the point of imitating Mr. Anxi was.

"In order to interfere with the determination of the time of death, if this reasoning is true, then Mr. Anxi's time of death would be before ten o'clock.

In this way, Ms. Mamegaki Taeko and Mr. Shimazaki Yuji, who originally had alibis after 10 o'clock, become suspects, while Mr. Nachi Shingo has a witness before 10 o'clock, so his suspicion is reduced, provided that this reasoning is correct! "

Kogoro Mouri answered Xiaolan's question.

How can I describe it! In just a moment, offense and defense changed. Nachi Shingo, who was once a major suspect, was now safe.

"But is there really evidence to prove that Mr. Anzai was dead before ten o'clock?" Inspector Megure asked the key question at the right time.

"Then we have to ask Mr. Nachi, do we really want to continue hiding it?" Conan was really too lazy to act and just took over naturally.

"I...what did I hide?" Nachi Shingo had already breathed a sigh of relief as he had finally been let off, but when he turned around, he saw that he was being stared at again.

What's more, the one who was aggressive towards him was the short and fat Conan whom he had taught a lesson before. He was so angry that the handsome guy was stumped by a little kid.

"Mr. Nachi, we heard some noise on the stairs at half past ten, and that dark figure we saw when we looked up was you, right? Are you still going to deny it?"

Conan is not willing to let Nachi Shingo get away with it so easily.

"Huh!? Conan, how did you know? It was so dark at the time, we couldn't see clearly, how can you be so sure it was Mr. Nachi?"

Xiaolan asked questions that answered most people's questions. After all, apart from the parties involved, the only ones who truly understood the truth of the matter were Fujiwara Hiroshi and a few others.

"It's simple. Of course, I learned about it through the message left before his death. The stone lion he left behind is strange in itself. If I really wanted to point to it, it would be easier to just point with my finger. There's no need to write it down."

So, if we look at this text carefully, we will find that some strokes were added later. After removing the added strokes, we will find that the original message should be "handsome guy".

So it's clear who the handsome guy refers to. Among the entire location filming team, there's only one person who uses the term "handsome guy" every day to promote himself, and that's Mr. Nachi Shingo!"

Conan directly restored the predecessor of the stone lion, which was the handsome guy's blood words left on the ground. However, seeing that this was cracked, Nachi Shingo, who was already emotional, was really a little overwhelmed.

"I say, it's you after all! I said my eyes wouldn't be wrong, you didn't run away!" Maori Kogoro rushed in front of Nachi Shingo again and showed off his power.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go too far! I've already told you, I'm not the murderer. The deceased asked me to meet him here at 10:30.

When I arrived at the scene, Anxi was already dead. I was so scared that I fell to the ground.

Then I saw a death message written next to Anxi's finger on the ground, with the word "handsome guy" written on it. I was stunned at the time and felt that this was a trap set up specifically for me.

So I suddenly remembered the matchstick game I usually play, and an idea struck me. I added a few strokes to the handsome guy and changed it into a stone lion.

But you have to believe me, I really didn't kill him. He was killed here before. I was just unlucky!"

Nachi Shingo was complaining and grumbling at this moment, saying a lot.

"But there's no evidence to prove what you said. So, there's no way to tell if Mr. Anxi's situation is really as you say."

Kogoro Mori had no intention of letting Shingo Nachi go so easily.

"Uncle, Mr. Nachi is not lying this time. He must be telling the truth!" Conan also helped Nachi Shingo to get out of the predicament.

"Little brat, what did you say? Do you know that what this guy is saying now is the truth?" Mouri Kogoro didn't believe that Conan could really tell the truth from the false.

"Mr. Nachi was the last suspect to appear at the crime scene. He was not sure that Mr. Anzai would be able to keep the handsome man so that he could be transformed into a stone lion.

If this premise did not exist, how could he have made the revision? It is impossible that Mr. Anzai would not have directly written Mr. Nachi's name at the last moment of his life.

Instead, he chose a more distant approach to write the word "handsome guy." Based on this logic, Mr. Nachi Shingo must be telling the truth.

Conan explained why Nachi Shingo was telling the truth.

"Also, the hat and vest belonging to Mr. Anxi scattered on the ground at the scene should also prove that someone deliberately set up a trap to mislead people about the actual time of Mr. Anxi's death.

If the hat could have fallen off during a struggle, then the chances of the vest falling off by accident are extremely small."

Yoko Okino took the results to look for it, and surprisingly, she also found some evidence that this person had artificially imitated Morio Anzai and obfuscated the real time of death.

"Sister Yoko is right! The more direct evidence is the watch that makes the strange sound. Uncle, take a closer look and see if the bloodstains break off around the watch.

The surface of this watch has been wiped, so it's especially clean. It's also an important prop used to disguise Mr. Anxi. I definitely can't carry a watch covered in blood, so I can only clean it in advance."

Conan guides Kogoro Mouri to check his watch.
