Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 23 Fujiwara Hiroshi intervenes in the case

This self-righteous behavior of Nobuichi Sakai not only failed to clear his suspicion, but instead basically labeled him as the murderer in the minds of Conan, Mori, and Officer Yokomizo, but there was a lack of evidence.

Conan took a look around the scene and came to the same conclusion as Officer Yokomizo. Damn it! He had to find evidence to bring this guy to justice. It was abhorrent that he'd actually used them as accomplices to prove his alibi. Conan was furious.

At this time, even the usually dull-witted Kogoro Mouri noticed his suspiciousness and spoke up.

"Mr. Shijing, we only saw you when the character '一' was burning. So if you killed someone here and then drove quickly to the festival, you'd still make it in time. So where were you before you met us?"

When Officer Yokomizo heard Kogoro Mouri's questions, he realized that this was not just an ordinary time witness, but was actually so skilled in interrogation techniques, so he started asking.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you?"

Kogoro Mouri coughed lightly and started showing off again.

"Sorry! I didn't introduce myself until now. My name is Maori Kogoro, I'm a detective, and I run a detective agency in Tokyo..."

"Detective!?" Sai Jing Xuanyi exclaimed, feeling a little bitter in his heart. How could a witness be found at any random time? It was speechless. He was still complaining in his heart, "They chose him as a witness because he looked stupid. How could such a person be a detective?" Thinking of this and the timeline that he thought was unsolvable, Sai Jing was not particularly nervous.

"Could it be! Could it be the sleeping Kogoro, the famous detective who's been making waves across the country lately?" Officer Yokomizo practically roared, excited. His idol suddenly appeared before his eyes, and he couldn't keep his composure anymore. He started dancing with joy, a true fan of Kogoro Mouri. Then, with a deep bow, Officer Yokomizo spoke.

"Mr. Maori, please, I believe that with your help in the investigation, we will soon begin to find out the truth of the case."

"Leave it to me, Mouri Kogoro, there will absolutely be no problem. Oh hahaha!" Mouri Kogoro laughed with his long tongue sticking out. Officer Yokomizo was a little dazed. Perhaps this was the famous detective's casualness, and he forced himself to make up for it.

Soon, all the photos were developed, and they all had one characteristic: they all showed a clock that could prove the time, or words that could prove that time was burning. How to crack Nobuichi Sakai's alibi became the key. If this method was solved, Nobuichi Sakai would have no excuse.

While Conan and Kogoro Mouri were frantically searching for clues, Fujiwara Hiroshi and the other two returned to the hotel after watching the celebration. Seeing that the police were still blocking the hotel, they realized that Conan and the others had not solved the case yet.

"Oh! This efficiency is too low." Fujiwara Hiroshi complained. After sending Okino Yoko and Ikezawa Tomoko back to the room to rest, Fujiwara Hiroshi prepared to go and help the police solve the case himself. By the way, he would get in touch with Mouri Kogoro and Conan to get to know them. In the future, he would hope to follow them to participate in different cases, and by the way, see if there is a chance to collect more concubines, hehehe!

New to this world, Fujiwara Hiroshi only wants to live his own life. Tired of his previous life as a secret agent, he longs for a return to a more ordinary existence. But after a month, he's discovered that ordinary life in this world can be tedious. With constant training, his physique has not only recovered but also improved. Having had no time for romance in his previous life, he's had a chance to experience the thrill of adventure. Both of his wives are pregnant, and children are on the way. Ozaki manages the consortium's business and household arrangements.

It's true that a life like this would become boring after a while. The world is full of excitement every day, and that's all because of being around Mouri Kogoro! As long as you get to know Mouri Kogoro, you can legitimately participate in any case you want every day. When you don't want to bother with a case, you can ask Mouri out for drinks, massages, horse racing, or even playing pachinko. The best part is, if you're not happy with Conan, you can just knock him over the head, and even come up with a deduction before Conan does. It's truly fun to fight the heavens and the earth, and teasing Conan is doubly exciting!

Conan compared the photos back and forth and finally found the difference. He stared at the wrist of Sai Jingxuanyi in the photo and a current flashed through Conan's head. Masaica...

Conan took out his watch and was about to shoot Maori unconscious to let the sleeping Kogoro come online, but there was a noise at the door. Maori and Kogoro turned their heads and dodged the anesthetic needle. Oops, Conan thought anxiously.

"Sir, you can't go in! A murder has occurred inside and no unauthorized persons are allowed to approach." The police officer on guard blocked Fujiwara Hiroshi's way.

"Who is the officer in charge of the case here? I have some clues about this case."

"This..." Just as the police officer was hesitating whether to report it, Officer Yokomizo was attracted by the noise and asked.

"Excuse me, sir. May I know your name? Do you have any leads to share? Just tell me directly. I'm Yokomizo Sango, the Saitama Prefectural Police officer in charge of this case."

"Hello, Officer Yokomizo, my name is Fujiwara Hiroshi. After your investigation and analysis, have you identified a suspect? Just check the suspect's back for bruises from being kicked, and we'll know who the murderer is."

"What!?" Officer Yokomizo was surprised by this sudden clue. "How did you know the murderer had scars on his back?"

"Let's go inside and talk, Officer Yokomizo. It's not convenient to explain the case at the door!"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Fujiwara. Please come in!" After saying that, Officer Yokomizo invited Fujiwara Hiroshi into the room.

"Mr. Fujiwara!?" As soon as they entered the door, Maori Kogoro and his family noticed that the person who came was Fujiwara Hiroshi who had left a deep impression on them before.

"Why are you here?" Kogoro Mori asked. At this time, Conan also put away the idea of temporarily knocking down Uncle Mori, and threw all his attention on Fujiwara Hiroshi. In addition, this was the fourth time he met Fujiwara Hiroshi at the murder scene. He didn't know what connection he had with tonight's case. Conan had always felt that Fujiwara Hiroshi gave people the aura of a professional killer who had killed many people, so he was extremely concerned about Fujiwara Hiroshi. Later, when he learned that he was the helmsman of the Fujiwara Group, he was even more wary of him. He had skills and financial resources. In addition, the previous analysis of the case showed that his brain power was also top-notch and unsolvable. Although Fujiwara Hiroshi has not been found to have committed any crime, Conan has already been unable to let it go. Now Fujiwara Hiroshi appeared in front of Conan again. Conan found that Fujiwara Hiroshi had changed. The aura that made him like a killer disappeared. Conan was even more wary, which meant that Fujiwara Hiroshi was stronger and could control this kind of aura.

"Oh, Mr. Mori, and Xiaolan and the famous Conan." Conan rolled his eyes at Fujiwara Hiroshi, asking why he added the prefix "famous" in a sarcastic tone when introducing me.

"Officer Yokomizo, Mr. Fujiwara is also a very capable detective. He has helped the police catch criminals and solve cases." Xiaolan said. Xiaolan had seen Fujiwara Hiroshi's performance in solving cases and was still very confident in him.

"I heard the police haven't solved the case yet, so I'm here to help them solve it." Conan couldn't believe what he said. He'd clearly asked Kudo Shinichi if he was a detective before, and he'd said he wasn't and had no interest in solving cases. Why was he interested now? Conan was filled with confusion.

Fujiwara Hiroshi didn't bother to pay attention to everyone's reactions and continued.

"Officer Yokomizo, could you please tell me if you have any suspects?" Officer Yokomizo briefly explained the clues he had at the moment.

"That means the current suspect is Mr. Nobuichi Saii, but he has an alibi, right?" Fujiwara Hiroshi touched his chin, looked at the photo in his hand, and continued, "Officer Yokomizo, please check Mr. Saii's back first, there will be a surprise! I had a brief contact with the murderer before, and I kicked the murderer's back, but the murderer still escaped. However, there should still be my footprints on the murderer's back." Conan was a little confused. Fujiwara Hiroshi obviously wanted to catch the murderer, but with Fujiwara Hiroshi's skills, it was impossible for him to let the murderer escape.

"Mr. Sai. Please cooperate." Officer Yokomizo checked Sai Nobuichi's back and found a footprint.

Nobuichi Sakai started to panic when he saw Fujiwara Hiroshi walk in. He tried hard to calm himself down and think about how to break the deadlock, but his eyes glanced at the photo in Fujiwara Hiroshi's hand and he regained his confidence. I still have the photo as my evidence.
