Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 601: Hardcore Reasoning from Lie
"...Mr. Sakaguchi, according to Conan and the deceased's girlfriend, he was talking to you on the phone before he was knocked down by the dog, right?"

Jinpei Matsuda held a pen and paper, staring intently at Masayoshi Sakaguchi in front of him.

When Conan arrived at the crime scene, the phone thrown by the deceased had not been hung up. It was Conan who told Masayoshi Sakaguchi who called that someone had died in his family.

Masayoshi Sakaguchi was on a business trip. When he heard about the accident, he immediately rushed back eight hundred miles away.

Fortunately, the place where he was on a business trip was not far from the noise, so Mr. Sakaguchi arrived home almost as soon as Matsuda Jinpei finished listening to Conan's description.

"Yes, I had just arrived in Fukuoka, and it was almost time, so I wanted to say goodnight to John as usual." Sakaguchi Masayoshi showed some sadness on his face, "When I was on a business trip before, I also asked Xiaogang to help me take care of John. I didn't expect that this time..."

"Okay, I think I understand."

Matsuda Jinpei asked quickly, "So what did you say on the phone? Could you please explain in detail, Mr. Sakaguchi?"

This time, it was a rare case that Inspector Megure was not present when Conan was present. Instead, the team was led by Jinpei Matsuda, accompanied by a slightly inexperienced Takagi Wataru. However, they were also frequent visitors to the crime scenes of Conan, the god of death...

In response to Jinpei Matsuda's request, Masayoshi Sakaguchi nodded in cooperation, recalled a little, and then recounted to Jinpei Matsuda some of what he had said on the phone.

While Matsuda was checking the confession, Conan was standing in front of the cage where John was locked up, and he touched John's head with heartache.

——A few hours ago, John was still very close to them, full of life...

How did he become a murderer in the blink of an eye?

'This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems!'
A belief gradually arose in Conan's heart.

Yes, it must be like this! The real murderer must have used John to kill people... He must find the murderer! Give John justice!
Conan's fighting spirit was burning fiercely, and it even took shape, causing Lie to look at him with a different look.

Lie's eyes sparkled like stars: "Wow, Conan is actually flaming..."

Conan, who was working hard to solve the case, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around tremblingly and found Lie was staring at him with an extremely aggressive look.

Conan: "..."

What is this for? What does Mr. Lin want to do? !

He found that since both of them had almost lost their vests, Mr. Lin had become more and more presumptuous in front of him...

"Xiaoping - Officer! How's the case going?"

Lie curled his eyes at Conan, then turned and said.

Matsuda Jinpei recorded Sakaguchi Masayoshi's confession and handed it to Officer Takagi standing behind him. "If there are no other clues, this case is obviously caused by this dog... It can be considered a vicious dog attack."

"A vicious dog hurts someone. How should we deal with it?" Lie, who knew nothing about Japanese law, touched his chin.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this dog will be killed with drugs." Matsuda Jinpei shrugged and glanced at Rei with a questioning look in his eyes.

--what you up to?
Lie glanced at the dog cage:

——I want a dog~

Jinpei Matsuda rolled his eyes, as if to say - childish.

The eye contact between the two people, in the eyes of others, turned into a bitter and hateful look...

Especially when facing Rei, Jinpei Matsuda always kept a cold expression on his face.

After being questioned, Masayoshi Sakaguchi had been sitting quietly by the side, occasionally glancing at John who was locked in the cage, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail at him. A deep pain flashed in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still tentatively spoke: "Um, Mr. Officer, is there any other hidden story behind this? John is not the kind of child who would hurt others..."

Matsuda Jinpei withdrew his gaze from Rei, "Child?"

After he came here, he asked people to collect information about Sakaguchi Masayoshi, and found out that this person once had a child and his wife died young... but the child seemed to have committed suicide seven or eight years ago.

Could it be... Conan, who was thinking, suddenly remembered something and turned his suspicious eyes to Sakaguchi Masayoshi.

Yes, that must be the case... There is no doubt about it, this is revenge!
"There's no hidden secret here! I saw it clearly. The dog suddenly pounced on Xiaogang when he walked up to him, and that's why it became like this!"

The girlfriend of the deceased, who did not want to reveal her name, started shouting out of control.

however.

Lie suddenly stood up, raised his hand, pressed it down, made a quiet gesture, coughed twice, and looked at the deceased's girlfriend with a smile: "Well, Miss, let me ask you, was this the case when your boyfriend fell down?"

As he spoke, he ran to the last step on the second floor as if to cover up.

“That’s it~”

Lie suddenly tilted his head back, his whole body leaned backward, and he fell straight downstairs.

This happened, leaving everyone unresponsive.

The familiar scene made the deceased's girlfriend scream, and John suddenly barked in the cage.

Only Jinpei Matsuda rolled his eyes, shrugged his cheeks, and turned a blind eye.

Just when everyone thought Lie would do a grand slam, Lie twisted his body, did a somersault in the air, and then landed safely on the ground, turned his head and smiled: "How is it~ Is it similar? Ah, I mean when I fell~"

The deceased's girlfriend opened her mouth blankly, "Ah, almost, right?"

Oh my god, if her boyfriend had such skills, he probably wouldn't have fallen from the bottom of the building and died.

After getting the confirmation from the deceased's girlfriend, Lie's smile became even brighter, "Then ~ I think the truth of this matter is very clear ~ Officer Xiaoping!"

"…Call me Matsuda!" Matsuda Jinpei yelled, unable to bear it any longer.

"Okay, okay~ Xiaosongtian~" Lie waved his hand indifferently and began to 'reason' on his own, "As you can see~ the stairs to the second floor are nearly three meters high. If you are not careful when going up the stairs and your center of gravity is too far back, it is easy to fall down like I just did~"

Conan felt something was wrong after hearing Rei's words - pills! This was the smell of Uncle Maori when he was reasoning!

Matsuda Jinpei vaguely realized what Retsu was going to do, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Well, then?"

Lie waved his finger: "There is only one truth, and that is..."

"This case was a complete accident!"

Lie finally made the final decision, causing Conan to fall to the ground.

The deceased's girlfriend was also confused: "You, what did you say? How could this be an accident!"

"Because of the threads on the deceased's clothes." Lie looked at the deceased's girlfriend seriously, "There were threads on the deceased's clothes pulled out by John's claws... Just imagine, if you pushed someone down the stairs, would you still pull his clothes?"

The deceased's girlfriend was still confused: "This, no way?"

Lie clapped his hands with his fists: "That's right! If John pushed the person, then why are there marks on the clothes of the deceased made by his claws?"

“…why?”

"That's because John wanted to save this misguided young man." Lie Fuxi sighed, "But unfortunately, he forgot that he is a dog and can't pull people back with his claws..."

"So, John..."

"It's a good dog!"

Conan: Can you be any more outrageous?!
