Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Who is it? Please tell me quickly!" Hatamoto Shoji was very anxious.

Shoji Hatamoto had been relatively low-key and silent before, but when he heard that Kogoro Mori knew who the murderer was, he became active instead.

Shoji Hatamoto had already determined that Xiaowu was the murderer, but now listening to Kogoro Mori's tone, it seems that the murderer is not Xiaowu, so Shoji Hatamoto feels urgent to know the identity of the murderer.

"It must be Xiao Wu!" The smart Mariko Hatamoto answered at this time.

"Please, if Maori-san is saying that the murderer is Xiao Wu, then is there any need to gather everyone to start a reasoning show? After all, there is no need for any reasoning, a Muggle like you can figure it out.

So, since Maori is starting a mystery show, it means the murderer is definitely not Mr. Xiaowu as everyone previously thought.

Fujiwara Hiroshi and Hatamoto Mariko have been at loggerheads for a whole day, and now that he has seized the opportunity, there is no reason not to ridicule Hatamoto Mariko.

"But...who else could it be besides Xiao Wu? I can't think of a second possibility." At this time, Hatamoto Akiie also came out and said.

Before, she was arguing with her aunt until they were red in the face, but now, she is echoing Mariko Hatamoto. It can only be said that things are changing so fast.

"Okay, okay, don't worry. Before I reveal the murderer's name, please remember one thing."

Conan borrowed the voice of Kogoro Mouri again and began his journey of showing off. It has been a long time since he heard such a storytelling process.

Previously, Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning was so simple and crude. He didn't like to pretend to be cool and leave suspense. He would reveal the identity of the murderer right at the beginning, and then present the evidence and explain the details.

Kudo Shinichi is the complete opposite. He has his own rhythm. He usually starts by pretending to be cool, laying the groundwork for a long time, and then reveals the identity of the murderer. He likes to keep the suspense to the end.

As expected, Conan is about to show off again. He is already eager to do something. After being suppressed by Fujiwara Hiroshi for so long, it is finally his turn to show off.

"First of all, the door to the locked room, that is, Hatamoto Gozo's room, is covered in blood on the floor. Brother Fujiwara has already analyzed this for everyone before.

The only possibility is that after being stabbed, Mr. Hatamoto Gozo fled into the room, locked the door, and eventually died in the room.

And there’s a flower left on the floor at the door of the room…”

Conan goes back to the beginning and starts from the first case. Fujiwara Hiroshi has already provided ideas before, so it is not that difficult to understand.

"Yeah, that's right. That flower belonged to Xiao Wu, so the murderer must be Xiao Wu, right?"

Hatamoto Akie couldn't wait to jump out and say that her husband had been killed. She sincerely hoped that the crime of murder would be pinned on Xiao Wu, so that Xia Jiang would also be dead.

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious. Just keep listening and you will know." Fujiwara Hiroshi interrupted the emotional Qiu Jiang.

"It's not that simple. Think about it, Mr. Hatamoto Gozo was stabbed outside the room, so why is there no blood in the corridor?"

Conan continued to ask.

"The murderer must have wiped the blood off the corridor floor in order to delay the discovery of the body."

Shoji Hatamoto's mind began to clear up, and he realized that the bloodstains outside the door were wiped away by the murderer.

“That’s right. This also explains why the bloodstains in the room disappeared at the junction with the door, and there were obvious signs of fracture.

That was the corridor outside the room where the murderer cleaned up the blood. So, this is what I mean by strange: the murderer would know how to clean up the blood, but wouldn't he pick up the flowers that fell at the door?

This is obviously unreasonable. Since he has anti-detection awareness, he will definitely pay attention to every detail about himself, take great pains to clean up the bloodstains that have no direction, and leave the flowers that point to himself on the ground. This is inconsistent with our character portrait.

If the murderer fled in a hurry after committing the crime and did not see the flowers falling, this is understandable.

Then in fact, the murderer did clean up the scene. No matter whether the flowers were dropped when the murderer committed the crime or accidentally dropped while cleaning the scene, he should have seen them.

Therefore, we can draw the conclusion that this flower was deliberately left at the scene by the murderer in order to frame Mr. Xiao Wu.

So, what do you think? Do you still think Mr. Xiao Wu is the murderer?

"This..." Qiu Jiang also opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word of rebuttal for a long time.

"Well, since the murderer is not Mr. Xiao Wu, then Mr. Xiao Wu has already taken the blame for him, and Mr. Xiao Wu has also been locked up in the warehouse. Why did he still want to kill Mr. Long Nan?

Especially when Mr. Long Nan was killed, Mr. Xiao Wu was locked in the warehouse. In this way, once people found out that Mr. Long Nan was killed, it would clear Mr. Xiao Wu of suspicion.

This will directly lead to the fact that he had worked so hard to get everyone to accept that the murderer was Mr. Xiaowu, and I believe that with the murderer's intelligence, he would not do such a stupid thing."

Conan ignored everyone's surprise. This was just basic operation. He continued to reason in the voice of Mouri Kogoro.

"Yes, then why did you suddenly want to kill Longnan? Longnan is an honest person, why did you kill him so cruelly?"

As soon as Hatamoto Ryuo was mentioned, Hatamoto Akie's emotions began to get out of control.

"The murderer really has no grudge against Mr. Long Nan. What if all this is just an accident?"

When Conan heard Hatamoto Akiie describe her husband as an honest and decent man, the corners of his mouth twitched. It seemed that no matter whether Hatamoto Ryuo looked up and down, left and right, or inside and out, the word "honest" had nothing to do with him, right?

"Surprise!?" Qiu Jiang exclaimed loudly, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Yes, it was an accident, because it was beyond the murderer's plan, and the answer is hidden in this box."

As Conan spoke, he controlled Kogoro Mouri's hand and handed him a box.

"That...that's my kitchen knife box?" Cold sweat began to appear on Shoji Hatamoto's forehead. He didn't expect that he was the one involved in this.

"Everyone, take a closer look. Two kitchen knives are missing. One of the knives was found at the scene where Mr. Ichiro was assassinated.

So where did the other kitchen knife go? That’s the key to the case.”

Conan showed the evidence and explained it at the same time.
