Chapter 70 [Chapter 070] Conan’s Reasoning

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

Kogoro got out of the car unsteadily, but when he entered the door, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"You...are the famous detective Mouri Kogoro?"

Henggou looked at the drunk man in front of him suspiciously.

"Yes, I am Kogoro Mori, a famous detective who is not a famous detective."

As he spoke, Kogoro let out a long wine burp.

"Sorry, my husband drank a lot tonight, so..."

Fei Yingli, who was in charge of driving, suddenly frowned: "Xiao Ai, Conan, and Dr. A Li, why are you here?"

broken.

Both Conan and Dr. Ari felt their calves tighten.

"Because Dr. Agasa's friend mistakenly sent a piece of information to Professor Hirota, so Dr. Agasa brought us here to get it."

Xiao Ai said with a calm expression.

"is that so?"

Fei Yingli stared at Dr. A Li, and Dr. A Li nodded quickly: "That's right."

"What kind of information do you have to rush to get it so late and have two children with you?"

Fei Yingli put her hands on her hips and scolded Dr. Ali unceremoniously.

What else can Dr. Ali say? He can only admit his mistake.

As for Conan, he was thinking hard at this time. Before Kogoro arrived, the three people who had been to Professor Hirota's house tonight had all arrived.

They are Shirakura Yo who comes to Professor Hirota to ask for photos of previous cross-dressing, Hosaya Kazuhiro who wants to entrust Professor Hirota to write a letter of recommendation for his daughter's admission, and Michio Morioka who often comes to Professor Hirota to play chess.

From the current point of view, these three people have time to kill, but until the secret room method is solved, it is useless to say anything.

Conan stared at the landline phone in front of him, feeling that he was close to the truth.

The landline phone that fell to the ground had an automatic answering function, and there were fourteen phone messages that night, including two from Michio Morioka and Yoju Shirakura.

The last phone call was from an insurance salesman, which didn't sound like it had anything to do with this case.

The secret may lie in these phone messages...

Is it an audio tape?

But even if the key is tied with a tape, it is impossible to put the key under the book accurately, right?

Xiao Ai, on the other hand, has been watching Conan silently, and the newspaper report of his sister's death and what Kogoro said to him kept popping up in his mind.

"...Don't blame that boy, he has tried his best..."

"...I've tried my best..."

"...I tried my best..."

"Mr. Maori, please drink some water first and sober up before entering the scene."

Henggou's words of enlightenment interrupted Xiao Ai's contemplation.

"Haha, just a few glasses of wine, how can you stop me, Mouri Kogoro."

Kogoro staggered into the study, and his drunken appearance immediately attracted the attention of the three suspects.

"Officer, what's going on? Why are there still drunkards?"

"That's right, you went to sleep after drinking too much. What are you doing here?"

"Did he also come to visit Professor Hirota tonight?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Henggou Sengo forced a smile: "This is the famous detective from Tokyo, Mouri Kogoro..."

"Detective? I don't think so. He looks like a drunkard instead."

Michio Morioka directly interrupted Hengo's words: "If the police can only rely on drunkards like this to solve the case, then please forgive me for not accompanying you. It's too late, I want to go home and sleep."

"That's right, it was obviously an accident. It was not a secret room murder, but a drunkard was called in. How can you, the police, be reliable?"

Bai Cangyang also complained.

"Whether it's reliable or not, you'll find out later, little handsome boy."

Kogoro staggered forward two steps, suddenly grabbed Shirakura Yang's shoulders, and looked at him with drunken eyes: "Tsk, tsk, with this little appearance, if he puts on makeup and a wig, he will definitely charm a lot of men...

"

Bai Cangyang had goosebumps all over his body, and he threw Kogoro away fiercely: "You pervert, stay away from me."

Just as people were jumping around, Xiao Ai walked up to Conan and whispered: "It's useless. Let's leave this place to Uncle Maori. Let's leave quickly."

Conan didn't even raise his head: "Did you also hear that the last phone call selling insurance was abnormal?"

Xiao Ai nodded: "Although it has been processed, I can still hear that it is the sound of vodka. And vodka is Gin's loyal little brother. If he is here, it means that Gin is also nearby."

"The more this happens, the more calm we have to be. Maybe they are secretly watching outside. If we leave rashly, it may arouse their suspicion."

Conan frowned: "The only way to get away smoothly now is to solve this case and leave openly."

"Then what have you come up with?"

Conan shook his head: "We have clues, but we almost can't connect them."

Xiao Wai sighed, squatted down, picked up a chess piece, and placed it on the phone in front of Conan: "After Uncle Maori came in, he only spent a little more time on the chess piece while looking at all the items.

Maybe he discovered something from this."

"Uncle? Chess?"

Conan suddenly jumped up and said urgently: "I understand the killing method."

Everyone looked at Conan with some surprise.

"Please see, the murderer first pulled out the tape, tied the key on it, and then pulled it outside the door. Then he used three inverted chess pieces in a triangle shape to hold up the thin hard-cover book. After that, he only needed

Make a call and let the phone record. As the recorder rotates, the tape carries the key into the room. Finally, while knocking over the chess set, the key is also pressed under the book."

Conan used another audio tape to simulate: "Just like this, a perfect secret room technique is achieved."

Henggou Shenwu looked at Bai Cangyang fiercely: "If that's the case, then the murderer is you who made the most calls, right?"

"Stop joking, how can you assume that I am the murderer just because I make a lot of phone calls?"

Bai Cangyang said urgently.

"Don't forget the fingerprints on the tape," Conan said solemnly. "You can't create such a delicate layout with gloves on. What's more, you should be planning to kill people on the spur of the moment, and you won't prepare gloves in advance, so there must be traces on the tape.

A lot of your fingerprints, this is the evidence."

"...Originally I came to ask for the photo of me disguised as a man, but Professor Hirota only gave me the photo without makeup. Because I had plastic surgery, I didn't want the photo to be exposed, so I got angry

, so I just..."

Bai Cangyang was silent for a moment and said quietly: "When I regained consciousness, Professor Hirota had already fallen to the ground. As for what happened next, the little brother wearing glasses told me everything."

"What about the photos?"

Henggou asked in a deep voice.

"Because Professor Hirota has the habit of scanning photos into floppy disks, but for a while I didn't know which floppy disk the photo was on, so I simply took all the floppy disks away and now put them in my car.

In the storage box."

As he said that, Bai Cangyang looked at Conan and said with a low and wry smile: "Looking back now, I am still really smart. I thought no one could crack this trick. But I didn't expect that even elementary school students didn't hide it."
