Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 14 Sherlock Holmes Fan Murder Case

[Novelist: Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Look at Conan's expression.]

[Forward: I’m so happy, ahahaha.]

[Photographer: Screenshot saved.]

[Reporter: I suddenly feel like I can collect these unforgettable memories and use them to entertain myself when I return to my original world.]

[Mechanic: Seconded.]

[Madam Red: Then I'll leave it to Ms. DeRoss.]

[Reporter: No problem.]

[Blind Girl: Oh, and I plan to attend the next Sherlock Holmes fan murder case with Miss Emily.]

[Doctor: Yes, Miss Helena has already agreed with me.]

[Gardener: Then, both of you please be careful.]

Soon the day of the event arrived. The blind girl and the doctor took the hotel owner's car to the hotel. As expected, Conan and his friends were there. They began to introduce themselves.

Blind Girl (The Girl Who Lighted Up the Stars): "I am Helena Adams, a blind prose poet. My favorite Sherlock Holmes work is The Dancing Figure."

Doctor (past): "I am Emily Dale, a doctor. I don't know much about Sherlock Holmes. I'm here with Miss Helena, as she would be inconvenienced by herself."

Conan: "Miss Helena is Uncle Orpheus's friend, right?"

"Hey, how did you know?"

"I'm Edogawa Conan. Actually, I ran into Uncle Orpheus on the Shinkansen who was on his way to visit you."

"Is that so? Hello, little Conan." The blind girl responded with a smile.

At this time, a group of Sherlock Holmes fans came over and discussed Sherlock Holmes with him enthusiastically after learning Conan's name.

"However, the combination of Miss Helena and Dr. Emily is like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson." Conan couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, I'm far inferior to Mr. Holmes, and Emily isn't a military doctor either."

"It's just a metaphor, a metaphor."

At this time, Hattori Heiji also came, but he seemed to think that Kudo Shinichi would come to participate, so he followed him. It must be said that his intuition was not wrong.

After explaining the schedule to everyone, distributing answer sheets, and taking away the communication equipment, the innkeeper left.

Dinner time had passed, but the innkeeper had not shown up yet, and people began to feel impatient.

"Sorry, I'll take Miss Helena back to her room to rest first." The doctor stepped forward and took the blind girl back to the room.

When everyone regrouped, they had already heard the news that the innkeeper had died after driving off a cliff. Damaged communication equipment prevented anyone from calling the police. Even the car in the garage had its fuel tank dug open, rendering it completely unusable.

The blind girl murmured, "This development is just like Snowstorm Manor."

Hattori Heiji: "In short, the murderer is among us, and he may commit murder again."

Doctor: "Then we need to be more vigilant. I carry a medical kit with me. If anyone is injured, you can come to me for help."

Maori Kogoro: "Then if there is any accident, I will trouble you, Dr. Emily."

However, not long after, the garage exploded, erupting in flames. After the fire was extinguished, they discovered Miss Ayako, burned to death in the car seat. After examining the body, the doctor confirmed it was indeed Miss Oki. "Mr. Toishi, please accept my condolences," Mr. Toishi said, finding it difficult to accept. So, Kogoro Mouri suggested they go back to the living room.

It was raining heavily, and everyone sat in silence in the living room. However, the quarrel among the detectives aroused Hattori Heiji's suspicion of Conan. The maid took the others to the kitchen to make coffee.

Suddenly, the power went out in the living room. Mr. Fujisawa lit a lighter to illuminate the room, but was attacked by the assailant, who stabbed him in the arm and shattered a large hole in the nearby window. The cause of the power outage was a short circuit caused by the maid inserting a plug wrapped in thin wire from a packaging bag into the outlet.

Kogoro Mouri tried to climb out the window to track down the murderer, but the blind girl stood up and interrupted him.

Blind girl: "Detective Maori, I think the murderer is still among us and didn't escape by breaking the window. Of course, it's even less likely to be the innkeeper."

"Just now, when you said there was a power outage, I heard the sound of glass shattering and a chair scraping against the ground. Although there was interference from the sound of rain, I am sure that I did not hear anyone leaving the window. I think the reason for this result is that the murderer first broke the window with a chair and then put the chair back in place. If the murderer had really fled outside in a panic, he would not have had the opportunity to do this."

"You are the murderer, Mr. Toishi."

"The innkeeper has likely been dead for more than a day. If you turn on the heater in the car, the body will slowly recover from rigor mortis. All you need to do is stay in the living room and witness the innkeeper's fall from the cliff with everyone else. This will lessen your suspicion."

"As for Miss Ayako, you only need to trick her into going to the garage. In the pitch-black environment, she will undoubtedly use a lighter to illuminate the area, thereby igniting the leaking gasoline and causing an explosion."

"As for Mr. Fujisawa's attack, I'm more inclined to believe it was an unplanned, impromptu act. Otherwise, you wouldn't have revealed so many flaws, having orchestrated the first two murders."

"Am I right, Mr. Toishi?" After saying that, the blind girl sat back in her seat, and the doctor stood behind her, staring at Mr. Toishi opposite her.

"Although Miss Helena's reasoning is quite brilliant, you don't seem to have any evidence, do you?"

"Well, I don't really have any evidence, but..."

"The evidence is that Miss Ayako saw the Sherlock Holmes test you didn't write down at all." Conan couldn't help but jump up and interrupt. "According to Sister Helena, you knew the innkeeper was dead and knew that answering the questions was meaningless, so you didn't answer any of them."

Hattori Heiji immediately confirmed that Conan was Kudo Shinichi. Don't ask why he was so sure, it was just the tacit understanding between good brothers and old rivals.

Then the murderer cried, knelt, and confessed.

"It seems that Miss Helena, you and Dr. Emily really are like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson."

Because Conan was worried that Hattori Heiji would tell Xiaolan that he was Kudo Shinichi, he had to confront him.

Just as the two were talking in private, the blind girl and the doctor came over. Conan, fearing that the news would leak out, quickly changed the subject: "Um, Sister Helena, what did Uncle Orpheus ask you to do before?"

"Oh, well, Mr. Orpheus is currently conceiving a new mystery novel, and he's planning to use some people as prototypes for the characters, so he came to me for a discussion. I heard he's also contacted some people in the gaming industry and is planning to turn his masterpiece into a role-playing game."

"If you two detectives are interested, you can contact him," the doctor added.

There is nothing more interesting than participating in a thrilling reasoning game. The two immediately exchanged contact information and prepared to contact each other on a certain day.

[Doctor: So which script are you going to use for the reality show you mentioned?]

[Novelist: I think I'll use the script of Under the Truth.]

[Gardener: Could you please be more specific? Was it Beilstein, Azoth's proof of the theorem, or the track of Oceanus?]

[Novelist: I haven’t thought about it yet, let’s put it aside for now.]
