Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Sister Xiaolan..." Conan looked up and saw that the person in front of him was Xiaolan. Xiaolan seemed very angry at this time, which made Conan a little confused.

"Conan, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!" Xiaolan came out to look for her husband as usual, with her hands on her hips, obviously expressing her dissatisfaction with Conan who had been looking for her for such a long time.

"I was with my uncle and Brother Fujiwara just now. Sister Xiaolan, where did you go?"

When Conan heard this, he quickly said that he had been with Maori Kogoro and Fujiwara Hiroshi, and turned the tables and asked why Xiaolan was missing?

"Ah!? Uh..." Xiaolan was caught off guard by Conan's rhetorical question. Just when Xiaolan was hesitating and didn't know what to say, Conan followed up with the next sentence.

"You must be lost, right?"

"You can say that! Hehe~hehe~" Xiaolan said a little embarrassedly, and laughed twice to ease the awkwardness.

This is a bit embarrassing. She originally came to Conan in a rage, but Conan exposed her true situation and told her that Xiaolan was lost.

As expected of Xiaolan, she was easily controlled. No matter whether she was facing Kudo Shinichi or Conan, Xiaolan was always the one being controlled.

Moreover, Conan still spoke in such a straightforward manner, without considering giving Xiaolan any way out, and just told the truth directly.

"But... this place really looks like a maze..." After feeling embarrassed, Xiaolan took Conan's hand and continued walking in the corridor of the TV station.

"That's because it was built so complicatedly during the war to prevent the guerrillas from occupying it!" Conan started to get cocky again, showing off knowledge that was not suitable for his age group in front of Xiaolan.

"You even know this kind of thing?" Xiaolan was indeed surprised by Conan's answer. Is it really possible for a child to know and pay attention to such an unpopular piece of knowledge?

"I just heard it from the TV station!" Who is the best at improvisation? Look for Conan in Beika Town. Conan's brain is really quick. There is someone named Matsuo. You should learn from Brother Nan!

"Yes, a maze... but there must be a shortcut hidden in these winding passages! That's an imaginary route that takes you from the mixing room to the soundstage in under four minutes."

Conan grasped the hint that Xiaolan gave inadvertently and seemed to have some ideas.

"Hey! There are no stairs going down here?" When Xiaolan reached the end of the road, she turned around and saw a wall. There were only stairs going up, but no stairs going down.

"If you want to avoid the surveillance cameras and get to the seventh floor from the ninth floor, there's only this staircase. It takes less than two minutes to go back and forth."

Conan stared at the stairs in front of him and fell into thought. Then he looked up and saw the room next to the stairwell. It was a room with the word "warehouse" marked on the lintel.

Conan opened the door of the warehouse without saying a word and walked in. Xiaolan behind him heard the noise and turned around to see Conan walking into the warehouse.

"Conan, wait..."

Xiaolan's shouting from behind could not stop Conan at all. Conan went straight to the edge of the window, climbed up, opened the window, and stuck his head out.

Looking down, this location was right above the mixing room on the fourth floor where the crime occurred. This discovery gave Conan an idea instantly.

"Oh, right, using a rope... that doesn't make sense either. If the killer had gotten in through the window, the victim would have been forced to the door and killed.

However, the victim died by falling against the edge of the window. The location of the victim's fall at the scene conflicts with this hypothesis. It seems that he did not descend to the fourth floor using a rope."

Conan first opened his mind, but then felt that it was different from the situation on the scene, so he immediately rejected the idea.

Xiaolan took Conan back to the mixing room on the fourth floor where the crime occurred. When Conan looked up again at the fallen body and the bloodstains on the window, he finally discovered the abnormality.

"That's the victim's blood...it's gone on this side of the window." Conan let go of Xiaolan's hand and went straight to the window to observe carefully.

"Besides, there was no blood on the wooden frame of the window."

"What? Haven't you found the person who spoke to the victim at that time?" Inspector Megure asked in confusion.

"Yes!" Officer Takagi was also helpless. He asked everyone who was familiar with Suwa Michihiko, but no one admitted that they had a phone call with Suwa Michihiko during that period of time.

"What?! It's been an hour since the murder happened. There's no reason why he can't be found. So there's only one possibility left: the person he was talking to is the murderer!

But…why would the murderer tell the victim in front of him that he would kill him now? Could it be that…"

Conan listened to the conversation between Inspector Megure and the others and came to the conclusion that the person he could not find was the murderer. Then, based on the fact that the person he was talking to was the murderer, he deduced the content of their conversation.

This analysis really opened up Conan's mind and made him think of the murderer's modus operandi. Does Conan still need to verify whether this guess is correct?

Conan ignored Xiaolan's obstruction and quickly came to the outside of the first floor. The position facing the mixing room window allowed Conan to find the disappeared bloodstain.

Now Conan has completely cracked the murderer's method. How could he complete this crime within 4 minutes? It was really a casual remark of Inspector Megure that solved Conan's doubts.

"That's not enough. We've only figured out the method, but we don't have direct evidence. Without direct evidence, that old man, Matsuo Takashi, can say that anyone could have committed the crime using that method. How can we say he did it?"

Conan was still thinking about finding solid evidence that Matsuo Takashi could not deny.

Conan took the elevator back to the fourth floor. While he was still worried about not having any evidence, he saw Takashi Matsuo chatting with someone.

At this time, a call happened to come to Takashi Matsuo's cell phone. Takashi Matsuo took out his cell phone and started answering the call. This scene happened to be witnessed by Conan.

"I have it, I have evidence. You, Old Deng, can't deny this evidence. Old Deng, I've cracked your tricks, and I've found your evidence!"

Conan smiled confidently.

"Uncle, uncle, this way..." Conan is really brave. He tricked Kogoro Mouri into the warehouse on the seventh floor, and used the name of the female star that Kogoro Mouri liked.

After Kogoro Mouri entered the warehouse, he was shot with an anesthetic injection and knocked unconscious.

Conan is feeling good now. When Mouri Kogoro wakes up and finds out that he has been deceived by Conan, he hopes that Conan's butt can be as hard as his mouth and be able to withstand Mouri Kogoro's anger.
