Coroner Ke Xue

Late at night, Maori Detective Agency.

After finishing the note, Mouri Kogoro quickly returned home with his daughter and the oil bottle that her daughter had picked up.

This Mouri Kogoro is also considered a successful person in the detective world:

He has been working alone in the field of private detective for ten years. With his own wisdom, ability and hard work, as well as a three-story building in the city center left by his father, he has amassed a net worth of over 100 million.

However, this great detective is not isolated from the masses because of his own wealth. He has been rooted in the market all year round and has a lot of local connections. His usual work is mainly to find cats and dogs, detect cheating, and catch mistresses, which complements the work of the Metropolitan Police and the famous police department. The detective has a gap in grassroots work and insists on solving problems for the most ordinary Tokyo citizens.

A major kidnapping case was rarely solved today, and Mouri Kogoro was not too complacent.

He just went home and opened a dozen beers to celebrate as he usually did.

Pouring and drinking alone, singing and shouting, feeling content and content, the joy is endless.

Ha ha ha ha

Today's case went really well.

Haha, if you are happy, drink more!

Like the bohemian celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, although he was drunk, Mouri Kogoro was still high-spirited and high-spirited to fight.

Quiet, Dad!

I can't even hear the TV news anymore!

Xiaolan endured the noise interference with a headache, and accidentally pinched several cracks in the remote control in her hand.

But Mouri Kogoro was so drunk that he could not stop himself with words.

And he is Xiaolan's biological father. He is not a kidnapper or a telephone pole. It is not convenient for Xiaolan to use violent methods.

well

Xiaolan sighed helplessly and had no choice but to concentrate and continue watching the news program on TV.

Conan sat obediently next to her, his eyes equally focused.

Because what is currently being broadcast on the TV news is the scene of the Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson being interviewed by a reporter:

After investigation, it was confirmed that both subjects of investigation have been eliminated as suspects.

The investigation into Kaitou Kidd will continue in the future.

The spokesperson announced the results of the investigation in a serious manner.

So the Metropolitan Police arrested the wrong person?

A reporter asked maliciously.

No, it cannot be described as arresting the wrong person.

During the investigation of a case, we often encounter multiple suspects. The potential targets of suspicion are brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department for interrogation and testing, and then they are eliminated one by one——

This is a normal investigation procedure and cannot be said to be a mistake.

The spokesman explained methodically.

The reporter, on the other hand, was reluctant: Then the wrong person was arrested, right?

Reporter: I heard that both the police chief and the criminal minister were personally involved in this case, right?

spokesman:

Reporter (impassioned): When will senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department use the highest force to arrest minors and abuse their public power? Can this society get better? When will the Japanese people really stand up?

Spokesperson: Ahem, I have to explain this.

The person responsible for the specific command work is not the police chief and the criminal minister, but management officer Lin Xinyi, who has just joined the police department as a part-time employee.

The reporters were silent for a while and turned off the lights quietly.

but just a moment later

Reporter A (with a mocking look on his face): I understand, I understand, the leader is in name and temporary workers are doing the work.

If something goes wrong, it's the temporary worker's fault; if nothing happens, it's all thanks to you.

Reporter B (distressed): Administrator Lin is a well-respected and well-known figure in a prestigious university in the United States; after returning to the country, he was used by the Metropolitan Police to blame him.

The United States knows how to value elites, but Japan only values ​​background.

Alas, rigid thinking and backward systems can never accommodate a true talent.

Reporter C (angry and arrogant): Yes, Manager Lin's ability is obvious to all - before he came, the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't even smell fresh Kidd's farts!

Without Manager Lin, how dare you go head-to-head with Kaitou Kidd? Just dream!

The reporters, like outraged fans, almost ate the Metropolitan Police spokesperson alive on the spot.

Conan in front of the TV was stunned for a moment:

Although Lin Xinyi really shouldn't take the blame for this matter, right?

But if you call the police to the police station, you will be scolded, if you call Lin Xinyi's name, you will be praised.

With such a double-standard operation, those guys couldn't have taken Lin Xinyi's money, right?

Well

Watching the chaos on TV, Conan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But if you think carefully about Lin Xinyi's previous performance of being too poor to even take a taxi, he doesn't look like a guy who can afford a hot search.

In this way, in Conan's contemplation, the topic just mentioned was finally revealed reluctantly.

The current topic is what Xiaolan is most concerned about, and what Conan is most concerned about:

Some people speculate that Kudo Shinichi is the real Kaitou Kidd. Is this news true?

A reporter took a microphone and asked.

Fake news! This is completely fake news!

Amid countless flashing lights, the speaker moved his hands like he was playing an accordion:

Kudou Shinichi is not Kaitou Kid at all, and neither is another high school student.

We only invited the two of them because the face that Kaitou Kidd showed at the end was similar to the two of them.

The Metropolitan Police Department is cooperating with the investigation.

This is a very reasonable investigation demand. Please do not over-interpret it.

Reporter (looking innocent): Really? I don't believe it.

spokesman:???

Spokesperson (thought for a moment): Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

reporter:???

The two met their opponents in chess, and there was a silence in the air.

But the silence did not last long.

If this is really the case, then why does the DNA test yield no results? a reporter asked sharply.

Because there was a small accident in the DNA identification work, the samples cannot be used this time.

But it doesn't matter. We will go to Kudo Shinichi's house later to collect the hair and dander left behind by him - then we will do another appraisal. The appraisal results will be trustworthy, right?

The spokesman replied somewhat tiredly.

Is it true that the DNA test was stopped due to an accident?

Is it possible that this is the real result of the identification that your Metropolitan Police wants to cover up?

Otherwise, why has the high school student been acquitted, but Kudo Shinichi still can't be contacted, and his house is empty?

Has your Metropolitan Police Department secretly arrested Kudo Shinichi and wants to torture him to extract a confession?

Does he still have some ulterior secrets that he can't reveal to the public?

Obviously, the TV station focused on this breaking news point and worked hard on the investigation.

Based on the various doubts discovered through the investigation, the reporter's sharp questioning and reasonable speculations suddenly created a confusing, suspenseful and terrifying situation.

Once this conspiracy theory is launched, it will be extremely destructive.

Even if the Metropolitan Police Department later collects samples for DNA testing and uses science to obtain correct results, I am afraid it will not be able to eradicate this rumor——

After all, just like some people believe that 5G can spread viruses and masks are a murder conspiracy, those who are willing to believe rumors do not believe in science.

As soon as this conspiracy theory came out, Xiaolan in front of the TV had a complicated expression:

Shinichi, he can't be real

Unknowingly, Mao Lilan was already thinking in her mind:

It was a horrific scene of Kudo Shinichi being tied up in a small dark room by the Japanese secret police, being heated with a soldering iron, stuck with bamboo sticks, and tortured.

Don't worry! Conan comforted him with a look of helplessness: My brother Shinichi is not some kind of Kaito Kid!

You have known him for so long, don't you still know who he is?

That's what I said. Xiaolan's expression was soothing, but her brows were still full of sorrow: But Shinichi did disappear suddenly!

I didn't go home or answer the phone for the whole night.

This has never happened before

Shinichi won't really be locked up and tortured by the Metropolitan Police, right?!

Conan was speechless for a moment.

This rumor was so bizarre that he didn't even know where to start.

But at this moment, someone helped him comfort Xiaolan:

Don't worry, that kind of thing is simply impossible!

We at the Metropolitan Police Department will not do that kind of secret detention!

Is that Kudo or Kidd? It can't be in the hands of the Metropolitan Police now.

The speaker was Kogoro Mori.

He was already a little delirious from drinking, and his words sounded like drunken gibberish.

But he still made this key assist in the end, which made Xiaolan feel at ease and made Conan breathe a sigh of relief.

This uncle is quite reliable sometimes.

Conan thought so gratefully in his heart.

Then, Mouri Kogoro took a sip of beer, and his drunken eyes suddenly gained a touch of wisdom:

If the Metropolitan Police really deliberately concealed the news, there is only one possibility.

What's possible? Xiaolan asked nervously.

The purpose is to pretend to rule out the criminal's suspicion, so that the criminal can relax his vigilance and take the initiative to show up in front of others.

With the help of alcohol, Mouri Kogoro completed an exquisite reasoning:

So that kid is probably not secretly arrested now, but is absconding out of fear of crime!
