Famous Detective Conan: Eating and Waiting To Die

"Wait a minute," suddenly Conan thought of something, "That... Brother Seiya, your mother had an accident 20 years ago."

"Well, yes," Seiya nodded, "Uh..." Suddenly Seiya reacted, "Could it be..." Said, Seiya looked at Katagiri in surprise.

Katagiri lowered his head and sighed, "Even if I don't say it, you will know. That's right, my wife was the victim of Mr. Seiya's mother's accident..."

"How come?" Seiya looked at Katagiri in disbelief.

"Mr. Seiya, don't you know about this?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

"Well... I was only 6 years old at the time... But. Does this matter have anything to do with this case?"

"No.. This is just an inquiry as usual," Mouri Kogoro explained.

"Okay everyone," Mouri Kogoro clapped his hands, "because the mask is locked, and Miss Su Fang's room can only be reached from the west side, so the prisoner is one of the five of you living on the west side. , that is, Mr. Katagiri, Miss Changchun, Miss Kadai, Mr. Matsudaira, and Miss Minaho."

"But can it be locked onto a person?" Mumu asked.

"There is a way..." The fortune-teller Changchun said while fiddling with the tarot cards in his hand.

Kazuyo said with a look of disdain, "It won't be up to you to do the divination."

"Divination? No need for divination," Changchun grabbed a tarot card, "According to the situation on the scene, there should be a lot of blood on the prisoner's body, even if he wears a mask on his face, the blood on his hair and body for a short period of time. It's not easy to wipe it all off."

"Yes, a prisoner is someone who has time to wipe off the blood," Matsudaira said with a sudden realization.

"So, everyone focused their attention on Kazuyo, hello. You, do you think I'm a prisoner?"

"Although you are not necessarily a prisoner, the only one who has time to wipe off the blood is you who were not present when the body was found," explained Kogoro Mouri.

"Please don't talk nonsense. If you stand up and wave your hands because of being too excited, why should I kill the teacher?" Looking at the calm Changchun, Hedai rushed up angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

Hitomi Mouri still had a good impression of this fortune-teller, so she stepped forward and pushed the woman away. . However, Hedai's right hand was hanging on the necklace on Changchun's neck, and the necklace on Changchun's neck was directly pulled off, and the broken beads fell to the ground with a bang. . . .

"Sister Changchun, are you all right?"

"No, thank you little brother~"

Conan looked at the crackling beads that fell on the ground with a flash of light, "So! So it is, so I was confused by the prisoner's trap. In this way, Xiaotong's previous conjecture was completely matched. This time As soon as you come, your drama is over!" Looking at the prisoner, Conan showed a confident smile!

"What's the matter, Conan, do you know who the murderer is?" Hitomi Mori looked at Conan who was smiling confidently.

"Well... your guess was correct before, but your guess was only part of his plan... I have completely solved the mystery of the curse of the mask!!!!"

"Hey. It looks like Uncle Maori is going to be anesthetized by you again..."

"Haha..." Conan smiled awkwardly, "If he's up for himself, why would he use me to anesthetize him..."

"That's right, I'll leave it to you!!!"

"Hey, Conan, what's the matter?"

"Officer Takagi, Uncle Mori said he has something to ask of you..."

"Uncle Mori, come and look at that cabinet over there..." Conan pulled Mori Kogoro down into a house similar to the crime scene, "I really can't do anything about you." Mori Kogoro was right. After taking his tie, he walked over to the cabinet and said, "I don't have anything..."

"Pfft~~ Ha... hehe... ah... here again..." Kogoro Mori, who was swaying, sat on the stool.

"OK, leave the rest to me, uncle!" After Conan prepared the scene, he used Mouri Kogoro's name to call everyone next to the crime scene, "Huh? This is completely the same as Miss Su Fang's dormitory. It's the same!" Everyone said after looking at it for a while.

"That's right, this room with the same structure as the crime scene is suitable for solving the mystery of the secret room and finding the real culprit." Everyone heard Kogoro Mori, who was sitting on the chair, say quietly.

"Uh? Isn't the culprit Kazuyo-san? Has the mystery of the secret room been solved?" Katagiri asked.

"Yes, these puzzles have been solved, but the culprit is not Miss Hedai, the culprit who killed Miss Su Fang, the messenger who cursed the mask, it's you, Mr. Seiya!"

"No! How could it be? Really?" After hearing this answer, everyone raised all kinds of questions!

"Sure enough, it's you!" Hitomi Mori cast a glance at Seiya, "That heart that's going to burst so fast is a pity, you're not really Seiya, you're not immortal!!!"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Maori, I'm on the east side of the house, and I can't approach the teacher's bedroom."

"Indeed, you really can't reach Miss Su Fang's dormitory. In order to prove this, you specifically called me on the inside before committing the crime."

"But, Brother Maori, if he can't go to the dormitory, how will he commit the crime?"

"Don't worry, Officer Mumu, what I'm going to talk about next is the modus operandi. From the moment I discovered the body, I felt strange that the prisoner took a lot of effort to make the scene a secret room, but did not disguise the scene as a suicide scene. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to pretend, it's that he can't do it!!"

"Why? Because, Mr. Seiya killed Miss Su Fang without entering the dormitory at all."

"How is this possible." Seiya snorted softly.

"Haha.. It's possible, it's possible to borrow the power of the cursed mask!" Hearing the words "cursed mask", Seiya's expression visibly tightened.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Mori, do you really believe in those curses?" Matsudaira asked suspiciously.

"No, the cursed mask I'm talking about is not its curse, but these cursed masks. They are the keys to unlocking the mystery of the secret room. Since you are so confused, let me recreate that mechanism once again. Officer Takagi !" Conan yelled at Takagi on the other side of the room.

"Hey!!" Takagi started to act according to Conan's previous instructions, and Conan explained to everyone, "First of all, I borrowed a knife that is very similar to the murder weapon, with a rubber band on the handle, and the bottom It's a mask, all the masks have rubber bands in their eyes, pushing them up, and the rubber bands on the handle of the knife are strung through the mask's mouth."

"Mr. Seiya used the key hanging in that room to open the door of the mask house while we were all sleeping, and stole Shaublu's mask and knife, and then like I said, the knife and mask One by one, the gap between the lattice windows is about 5 to 6 centimeters, so the mask can be passed on completely."

"Then... when all the masks are passed on, it's a critical moment..."

Everyone waited quietly until Takagi said, "This is the last one, Mr. Mori!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, everyone, until all the masks are in the house, tighten the rubber band... Yes, as you can see, all the masks will be pulled together in a row and stacked on top of each other. …”

Mauri Hitomi looked at these wriggling masks, "So it turns out, he didn't just superimpose a few masks, but all of them, and then like an extended arm, he could slowly pierce the victim's neck, thereby Leaving such a mark, if you guessed correctly, the slamming sound is that the murderer cut the rubber band after tightening the rubber band, and the mask that was put together suddenly lost its pressure and scattered all over the place. . . . "

Sure enough, Conan then explained his reasoning. Just like Hitomi Mouri's conjecture, the murderer really killed Su Fang like this. so. . Conan continued his reasoning, "The bloodstains on the knife, and only a few of the family's face with bloodstains on them, and all the puzzles with bloodstains on the corners of the mouth, can be solved..."

"Then some traces were found on the lattice windows. After identification, they were exactly the same as the wear marks on the back of one of the masks, so that is to say, this murder method is established, and the next is the murderer. The crime can only be carried out in a room on the west side of the house that can only be reached by people on the west side of the house, so the murderer is in this group of people on the west side..."

"That's right, you said that to reveal the secret room killing method, but what evidence do you have to prove that I did it!!!" Seiya roared excitedly.

"Mr. Seiya, the reason why I determined that the murderer is you is because what you said before exposed you!"

"What? What did I say?"

"When you were investigating everyone's alibi just now, you said this while looking at Ran, when you heard that kid and that young lady come to call Miss Hoonami... That's right..."

"Well, I heard their name, Miss Konami, in my room at the time. What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Seiya pouted and pouted.

"Then... Mr. Seiya, who is that child, with white hair or black hair?"

Seiya said impatiently, "Of course it's that kid Conan!"

"Huh? That's weird," Conan jumped out from behind Mouri Kogoro, "but I didn't say anything at the time, how did you know I was there?"

"This... this... I opened the door a crack and saw it, so I knew you were there."

"Really?" Conan asked innocently.

"Well... of course it's true."

"That's even weirder, because I'm not with Sister Xiaolan at all. I'll check if the door is closed. How did you see me?"

"What?" Seiya knew, "I was trapped..."

"I remember that I did ask Conan and Xiaolan to call Miss Konami. You heard my roar when you committed the crime on the third floor, so you thought they both went to Miss Konami's room, right? !"

"Damn...it's just a little...just a little bit wrong..." Seiya knelt on the ground, "Unwilling to hang his fists on the ground..."

"Seiya~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Teacher takes care of you so much... You actually..."

"Shut up!" Seiya interrupted Kazuyo, "Indeed, I always regarded her as a benefactor, but...until two months ago, when I was sorting out my mother's belongings, I knew everything The truth is, in the car accident 20 years ago, she hit and killed Mr. Katagiri's wife, then put the blame on my mother, and finally killed my mother..."

"The reason why I am so sure is because on the day of the car accident it was actually my birthday, and my mother stayed with me all day, so it was possible to go out and kill Mr. Katagiri's wife... I have so many years... so many years. ...and treat her as a benefactor..."

"How is this possible, the teacher is an excellent person who has done charity activities for 15 years..."

"Stop joking," Seiya pointed at Kazuyo, "Do you think I don't know? She embezzled charitable funds under the guise of charitable activities, and you have a share here too!!!"

In the end, the police took this fake "Seiya" away. . . . . . Looking at Seiya who got in the police car, Hitomi Maori leaned against the door and sighed, "What's wrong? Hitomi? So sighing..."

"Hey..." Mao Litong glanced at Conan, "I was thinking, that Su Fangming knew that the mother of this child was killed by her, and she wanted to help him to make him a big star. Raising tigers is the description of her. Bar......."

Conan adjusted his glasses, "Maybe that Su Fang regretted it after that? I want to use this incident to make up for what I did wrong..."

"Who knows?" Hitomi Maori stretched her waist and looked at the already clear night sky, "Maybe human beings are such a contradictory creature... just like myself..."
