Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 140 Conan Reasoning in Front of Everyone

The hot spring water of Hirano Onsen is rich in bicarbonate, and my skin feels smoother after soaking in it.

Although it is alkaline and tastes a bit strange, the wooden sign erected next to it tells everyone that this hot spring water can be drunk directly.

After soaking in the hot spring, Qinghai Chuantang seemed to feel sleepy, so he went to bed early and soon fell into a sweet dream.

After coming back, Subaru Okiya felt a little unhappy.

Looking at the other person's sleeping expression, I inexplicably had the urge to bully her.

He had already stretched out his hand and was pinching the other person's face, which was as thick as a city wall.

After a pause, he finally let her go temporarily.

"Wuye, we have a long way to go"

The next day, Conan woke up from a daze.

He lost his sense of direction for a moment and ended up in the kitchen, where he decided to take a look at what to eat today.

On the workbench, there is a mackerel with its head removed.

A handkerchief fell on the floor beside him, with a blood-stained knife on it.

Conan was a little confused and picked it up to take a look.

"Can mackerel have so much blood?"

Suddenly, he came to his senses, understood something instantly, and quickly ran forward a few steps.

I saw a man in chef's uniform lying on the ground. He was the chef.

"Conan, I didn't expect you to kill someone."

The voice was trembling, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness.

Conan turned and looked at the person who spoke, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Sister Xiaotang, call the police first."

"Don't worry, you are still a young man who has violated the law, and nothing will happen to you."

Conan looked at the knife in his hand and realized that the other party must have misunderstood something, so he quickly put the knife back.

“Actually, I can explain it.”

Qinghai Chuantang stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Don't worry, I understand. It's just that you ate too many radishes yesterday, so you were controlled by impulse."

Conan felt an urge to pick up the knife.

If impulse is the devil, shouldn't the devil's first target be the culprit in front of us?

Soon, the police from Longgong Hot Spring Police Station arrived at the scene.

"The estimated time of death was 4 o'clock this morning. The kitchen knife stabbed into the abdomen and killed him. Also, this was found next to the body."

In the transparent bag in the hands of the forensic officer was a small gold coin, exactly the same as the one seen in the warehouse before.

White clothes, gold coins
"Sure enough, is this the work of the White Ghost?"

"Eh?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko covered each other's ears, trembling, as they listened to Qinghai Chuantang tell the story.

After listening, the two looked at Qinghai Chuantang's white coat and fell into deep thought.

"Oh, is today's dish mackerel miso soup?"

Conan walked to the operating table in the corner, stood on tiptoe, and sniffed hard.

"If you're making mackerel miso soup, why is there still some unwashed daikon on the countertop?"

Xiaolan started cooking at a very young age and is now adept at making some home-cooked dishes.

"If you're making pickled mackerel, you'll need grated white radish."

“Maybe it’s used for something else.”

At this time, the forensic personnel took out a menu and saw that it said "Mackerel Miso Soup".

Not long after, a waitress hurried over and informed everyone that Taniguchi Masa was missing.

A small gold coin was found in her bag.

It is said that she was also wearing a white dress.

Just as everyone was gradually expanding the search area to look for Taniguchi Masa, Qinghai Chuantang silently came to the door of the confinement room and wanted to open it.

"Sure enough, this is also your goal."

Qinghai Chuantang paused and looked down at Conan.

He chuckled and said, "It's not like you to not go looking for missing persons."

"That person's identity should not be ordinary. I don't think anything will happen to her. Moreover, I saw your expression at that time, and I was sure that she would not be in any danger."

"So, this is considered to be influenced by me?"

Qinghai Chuantang laughed and easily opened the blocked wooden door.

After doing all this, she didn't rush in, but looked at Conan and said, "Captain Teemo, go explore the bushes first."

Although the other party's words were a bit incomprehensible and the title was a bit strange, Conan felt that there was something and he actually understood what she wanted to express.

There was enough light in the room, not enough to require a flashlight.

So Conan felt relieved and walked down the stairs.

Perhaps because the steps were a little high, he did not see the road clearly and accidentally stepped on the damaged wooden stairs.

He was about to fall, but fortunately Qinghai Chuantang grabbed him in time.

After the two of them walked down, King Kong also happened to arrive here.

"What are you two doing?"

Having said that, King Kong walked down the stairs.

However, because he accidentally stepped on the damaged wooden ladder, he completed the task that Conan was supposed to complete: having a close kiss with Daichi.

"Really? You're not trying to embarrass me. Didn't I tell you not to come in here?"

Jihe held on to the wall and walked down carefully.

King Kong propped himself up and stood up, brushing off the dust on his body.

"You don't think Miss Taniguchi is here, do you?"

In fact, Masaru Taniguchi was imprisoned in a nearby mountain hut, which was found just now.

"In fact, it's the child's nature to be curious and want to explore. If I don't bring him here, he will cry, make a scene, and even commit suicide. I really can't do anything about it."

A sigh showed helplessness.

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, and his expression was speechless.

Not only was he cheated, but he also had to take the blame. Conan has completely understood the other party's "cheating attributes".

"Ah."

Conan's eyes were suddenly attracted by the picture on the wall. "Is this an ancient treasure map?"

On the other side, there was a tombstone with the name of someone from Akiyoshi's family engraved on it.

In front of the tombstone, there is a photo frame of a woman holding a little girl.

Behind them, in addition to green leaves, there are white flowers with beautiful double petals.

"Hey, Sister Xiaotang."

Conan raised his head and smiled brightly: "You already know who the murderer is, right?"

"do not know."

As expected, do we need to rely on anesthetizing Yuanzi to complete the reasoning?
"Where's Mr. Subaru?"

"He's just here to act as a mascot."

Qinghai Chuantang squatted down, put a hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly: "After all, you are a child whose IQ is 20 points higher than that of Leonardo da Vinci. Don't always rely on others. Come on, you are the hope of the whole village."

King Kong was watching and listening to this scene and was completely confused.

Were he and those two people not on the same page, or were they communicating in some Martian language?

"Minister Kongo, please ask everyone to gather in the main hall."

"Yes!"

King Kong, who was suddenly called, responded almost instinctively.

After he finished speaking, he realized that the other person was not his boss.

After arriving at the main hall, Conan wanted to use an anesthetic needle to put Sonoko to sleep, but suddenly found that his watch was missing.

At that moment, Conan began to doubt his life.

Looking at Qinghai Chuantang's gloating expression, he quickly understood what was going on.

"This little brother said that he already knew who the murderer was."

Qinghai Chuantang gently pushed him in front of everyone and he became the person standing in the C position.

"Huh? This little brat actually figured it out?"

"The TV show Detective Wang Nan Ke is playing recently. Maybe Conan learned something from it."

Conan was so moved that tears welled up on his face.

As expected of Xiaolan, she even helped him find a reasonable reason.

"Yes, I saw it on TV!"

Conan chuckled and said, "In fact, the formation of the secret room is also very simple. There is not much skill involved."

However, it is not easy to pretend to be a child's tone to narrate the case.

"It was Madam Meiji who locked the door from the inside before she died!"

"what?"

Now, everyone was stunned.

Chiharu shook her head, "How is this possible?"

"Besides, why would the boss lady do that?" asked a waitress.

"That." Conan pretended to hesitate for a moment, "That's because you want to protect the criminal!"

Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.

"You've been talking nonsense since the beginning. Even though you're a child, if it's just for entertainment, please don't waste everyone's time, okay?"

Conan lowered his head silently. It really didn't work.
"Isn't this little brother's reasoning perfect?"

Conan was stunned and looked up at her.

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, little friend Conan, tell me everything you found out."

"Conan, come on! Haven't the Junior Detective Team helped solve many cases? Are you scared because your friends are not around?"

Xiaolan smiled and said gently, "It's okay. We are here to support you. It doesn't matter even if we are wrong."

Don’t little kids want to be free?

Their curiosity and exploration of the world lead them to the sea of ​​stars, increasing their knowledge and enriching their experience.

If the parents of the children in the Junior Detective Team always restrained them like they did other children, perhaps they would lose some fun.

Reasoning while ensuring your own safety can be considered a child's game. It doesn't matter if you fail, as long as you take that step bravely.

It’s just like a nurse, she can’t always do it right from the start.

"Sister Xiaolan."

In an instant, Conan suddenly understood why the other party asked him to stand up as "Conan" and reason out the case.

This case itself is not complicated and is indeed suitable for "Conan" who already has certain experience.

Moreover, if Xiaolan suspects again in the future that she is Kudo Shinichi, she can find excuses and reasons.

This move kills two birds with one stone, it's really great!
Conan's heart had undergone a drastic change at this time, and his impression of Qinghai Chuantang had increased significantly.

"In fact, there are two suspicious points in the first case."

As he said this, Conan held up two fingers.

One was a vase used as the murder weapon, with liquid spilled around it, some of it sticky, and with a distinctive smell of sulfur.

It is an alkaline bicarbonate hot spring, which is the hot spring water of Ryugu Hot Spring.

Taniguchi Masa was puzzled: "Why is there hot spring water in that room?"

"It's that empty teacup!"

Conan smiled and said, "That teacup also smells like sulfur."
