Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 19 Case closed, Conan challenges Fujiwara Hiroshi again

At this time, Conan secretly hid behind the sofa where Maori was sitting and was caught by the three little ones.

"Conan, what are you doing here?"

Conan Edogawa finally managed to fool the three little ones with his trickery and send them away. Fujiwara Hiroshi quietly watched Conan's show of force, silently memorizing the sudden kick Conan had just delivered. After all, he still had to come forward to reason with them, and he would settle the score after the reasoning was over.

Fortunately, except for Fujiwara Hiroshi, no one noticed the little episode between Conan and the others behind the sofa. Inspector Megure directly represented everyone's thoughts and asked. "How did it become suicide again? The stabbed position was in the back, how could it be suicide? Compared to suicide, I still tend to believe that the murderer is Mr. Yamagishi." Well, Inspector Megure has been convinced by Maori Kogoro's previous reasoning. Conan rolled his eyes again and said that Maori Kogoro has caused a lot of harm!

"It was indeed suicide!" Conan continued. "According to normal thinking, it's indeed impossible. Let's answer them one by one and make some small preparations first."

"Do we need to prepare more?" Inspector Megure narrowed his eyes. This familiar formula reminded him of Kudo Shinichi. Kudo Shinichi hadn't been active in the past two days, and Maori Kogoro had suddenly appeared. The reasoning methods were so similar. Could it be that Maori was possessed by Kudo? It must be said that Inspector Megure usually had no reasoning ability, but this time he guessed the truth. It was indeed all Kudo Shinichi's reasoning masterpiece, including Maori's reasoning, which was now handled by a smaller Edogawa Conan. How could the style be similar!

"That's right! Officer Megure, if you look carefully at the ground, you will find a strange groove on the floor. If you put the handle of the knife that killed the victim on it, it should be a perfect match!" Upon hearing this, Officer Megure took the knife directly from the forensic officer and put the handle into the groove. Surprisingly, it really matched perfectly!

"But why is there a groove left by the knife handle in this place?" Inspector Megure was surprised that the groove on the ground matched the knife handle, but he still didn't understand what this meant?

"Of course, these were necessary preparations to disguise suicide as homicide. The deceased first prepared a large block of ice, fixed the knife to the ground, and then turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. After making all these preparations, he combed the hair of Miss Okino Yoko and grabbed it tightly in his hand. Finally, he stood on the chair over there, adjusted the angle, and fell directly backwards. While he was still injured, he struggled to turn himself over, creating the illusion that he was stabbed to death from behind. The groove was the groove left by the weight of the deceased's own body, and it is also one of the evidences of this mechanism. The deceased's purpose should have been to frame Miss Okino Yoko. The hair of Miss Okino Yoko he held before he died was to make the police believe that it was grabbed from the criminal before he died. Of course, Mr. Yamagishi Eiichi should have seen this. When he was unsure whether it was related to Okino Yoko, he prepared to take away the physical evidence and destroy it. Am I right, Mr. Yamagishi Eiichi?"

"Is that so, Mr. Yamagishi?" Inspector Megure looked straight at Yamagishi Eiichi.

"Oh! I almost died of resentment just now! Let me start from the beginning. Everyone already knows the identity of the deceased. Yoko has already confessed that he was her ex-boyfriend from high school. After discovering Yoko Okino, the idol group Earth Girls debuted and signed Yoko. Then, they discovered that Yoko had a boyfriend among her high school classmates. I asked him out in Yoko Okino's name, and tried to persuade him with emotional appeals and benefits, so that he would give up contacting Yoko and not let his feelings hinder his career! After hesitating for a moment, the guy decided to raise the price, telling me that Yoko was his beloved girlfriend and that he had to pay more! I've seen a lot of this kind of third-rate bastard, so I didn't bargain with him. I added an extra 20 yen and made him sign a confidentiality agreement, prohibiting him from telling anyone about his past relationship with Yoko in any way, or leaking it in any way, or he would pay a huge amount of compensation. He agreed without hesitation!"

"How could this be?" Yoko Okino exclaimed.

"That's exactly what happened. This guy cared more about money than anything else. He used to be tall and handsome, but I don't know how he got so fat after getting the money. Because his figure had changed so much, I didn't recognize him at first. It wasn't until Yoko told me his identity that I carefully identified him. It was also because of this identification that I discovered that he was holding Yoko's hair. What happened next was just as Mr. Maori said. I took the hair back when no one was paying attention and prepared to destroy it. No matter what the situation was, Yoko couldn't be implicated in the case."

Seeing that his reasoning was almost complete and Mr. Yamagishi had basically finished explaining everything, Conan began to prepare to turn around and target Fujiwara Hiroshi and start adding value.

"Mr. Fujiwara, Mr. Yamagishi has already explained all his problems. Aren't you going to explain your situation?" Conan is very brave. He has forgotten the pain after the scar has healed, and he directs the question to Fujiwara Hiroshi through Mouri Kogoro's mouth.

"I don't think I have anything to explain. I have already made it very clear what I should explain!" Fujiwara Hiroshi answered slowly.

"Really? If my reasoning is correct, this Ms. Tomoko Ikezawa should be the criminal who has been harassing Ms. Yoko and sending threatening letters to her recently. Just now, Ms. Ikezawa went to the bathroom, and without any guidance, she walked straight there and found the bathroom accurately. All the doors and windows in this room are similar in design. If she was not familiar with the environment here, it would be impossible to find it so accurately and confidently without any guidance." Conan continued to work hard, and Tomoko Ikezawa couldn't help but change her expression when she heard Kogoro Mouri's reasoning.

Everyone looked at Tomoko Ikezawa, and judging from her reaction, they basically believed it 70%.

"So what? This matter should have nothing to do with this incident, and you have no evidence to prove your speculation. The follow-up of this matter is also a private matter and will be coordinated and handled separately." Fujiwara Hiroshi fought back without showing any weakness.

Okino Yoko also came to her senses at this time, feeling the pressure from "Mouri Kogoro" on Fujiwara Hiroshi. She spoke directly.

"Mr. Mori, thank you very much for your help tonight. However, the matter between Ms. Ikezawa Tomoko and me is an internal matter of the company and has nothing to do with this incident. Please don't bother with it. We will coordinate it ourselves when the time comes."

"No! Miss Yoko, I haven't finished. The above reasoning is because the following events are related to the case. Judging from the surveillance footage just transmitted by the police, Mr. Fujiwara was leaving with his arm around Ms. Ikezawa's shoulder. If the deceased happened to see this scene, I don't think he would have done such a thing today, and would not have held such a deep grudge against you, Miss Yoko! According to Mr. Yamagishi, although it was Mr. Yamagishi who initiated your breakup, his reason was that feelings would affect your career development. The deceased saw Mr. Fujiwara leaving with his arm around Ms. Ikezawa. I observed that Ms. Ikezawa's figure is about five to six points similar to yours. Therefore, the deceased must have mistakenly believed that he was deceived by the so-called excuse that feelings affected his career, and jealousy overwhelmed him, so he fabricated a homicide and put the blame on you!"

Conan's observation skills are really strong. With just a few simple details, he basically restored the original situation of the case. Even Okino Yoko was a little surprised! She didn't expect there was such a connection between them.

"And then?" Fujiwara Hiroshi shrugged. "Even if your reasoning is correct, what does that prove? The coincidence in the afternoon might have been witnessed by the deceased, but Yoko and I are real lovers, without that misunderstanding. Sooner or later, he would have discovered the crueler truth. The one who hid in the dark corner and secretly watched, without even the courage to step forward to confirm in real life, chose to end his own life, which is already a cowardly act. Moreover, if he had found a corner alone to commit suicide, I would at most despise him. But when he disguised it as homicide and put the blame on Yoko, I just felt disgusted by this guy. His heart is full of malice! What do you think, Detective Mori?"

Fujiwara Hiroshi said as he leaned closer to Maori Kogoro. Of course, he did this on purpose, in order to catch Conan behind the sofa. This guy just didn't get beaten lightly, and now he wants to come out and cause trouble.

Without waiting for "Mouri Kogoro" to answer, Fujiwara Hiroshi stepped forward and punched Conan on the head. Because Conan was deliberately making things difficult for him and looking for trouble, Fujiwara Hiroshi even used more force than before. The pain made Conan loosen his grip on the bow, and the voice-changing bow bounced back to Conan's collar.

"Ouch! It hurts!" Conan quickly touched his head with his hand, but the next moment Conan was grabbed by the collar and lifted up by Fujiwara Hiroshi!

"Conan, why are you wandering around again and running behind Mr. Mori, affecting his investigation. Mr. Mori, what do you think of my answer?" Conan was lifted up in the air by Fujiwara Hiroshi like this, and he certainly couldn't continue to answer questions in the voice of "Mouri Kogoro". The sleeping Kogoro seemed to have really fallen into a deep sleep at this moment.

"Since Mr. Mori is speechless, the answer is obvious. This matter has nothing to do with me. As for personal issues, we can handle them ourselves. If there is nothing else, Inspector Megure and I will leave first. We still have things to deal with." Fujiwara Hiroshi said as he picked up Conan and handed him to Xiaolan.

"Okay! But Mr. Yamagishi has to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us." Seeing that Kogoro Mouri had no further follow-up, Inspector Megure ordered a few people to leave first.

"Yoko, you definitely can't live in your apartment anymore after what happened. Come with me, and Ms. Ikezawa, come too. Yoko happens to be here tonight, so it's time to clear up some misunderstandings." Fujiwara Hiroshi turned around to greet Okino Yoko and Ikezawa Tomoko. Seeing Okino Yoko looking worriedly at the detained Mr. Yamagishi, he put a hand on Yoko's shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Mr. Yamagishi did all this for you. I won't give up on him. His condition isn't serious. I'll have Ozaki go to the Metropolitan Police Department and they'll bail him out. Don't worry!" After saying this, he gave Yamagishi Eiichi a reassuring look.
