Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 720 Another locked-room murder, and the killer is...

Su Fanghongzi is dead.

After examining the scene and the body, Conan and Kogoro Mouri confirmed the woman's death.

It's completely dead; even a 30-second ad can't revive it.

Su Fang Hongzi's sudden death caught everyone off guard, including Oni no Takeshi.

He never expected that even though he had stopped Aikawa Touya, Su Fang Hongzi would still die.

What is going on?

Ono Takeshi immediately confirmed that Su Fang Hongzi could not have committed suicide, and immediately looked at Nagara Haruka and the others who had rushed over upon hearing the news, including Aikawa Touya.

But the other person also had a shocked and disbelieving expression on their face.

After observing him carefully, Ono Takeshi confirmed that he wasn't faking it.

Furthermore, the absence of numerous Shobroo masks at the scene proves that the murderer did not use the same murder trick as Touya Aikawa.

This is weird...

Oni no Takeshi frowned.

If the killer wasn't the original Aikawa Touya, then who could it be?
Oni Takeshi's gaze swept over the remaining people, but apart from surprise and unease, he could not read any other unusual emotions on their faces.

It seems the murderer was very good at disguising himself.

After thinking for a while without finding a solution, Ono Takeshi gave up trying.

The plot had deviated from the original, and he was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Anyway, with Conan here, let's leave the investigation to these detectives; we don't need to put our minds to it.

Ono Takeshi was quite interested in knowing who the real culprit was. Besides Aikawa Touya, there was someone else present who wanted Su Fang Hongzi dead.

This woman is indeed hateful.

With a touch of curiosity, Ono Takeshi crossed his arms and became a bystander, ready to sit back and wait for the answer to be revealed.

However, at that moment, his eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

It landed on someone.

I remember that only... this person doesn't seem to be among those who came...

That's it!

Suddenly, a smile crept onto Ono Takeshi's lips.

Despite their meticulous planning, the other side overlooked Ono Takeshi's keen observation skills.

Suddenly, he understood everything.

On the other side, compared to Ono Takeshi's relaxed demeanor, Aikawa Touya in the crowd was quite uneasy, his face involuntarily showing a tense and apprehensive expression.

He was certain he wasn't the murderer, but the fact that Su Fanghongzi was still dead gave him a feeling of 'guilty conscience'.

Will the investigation lead to my arrest?
It's so unfair to be arrested as a murderer when you haven't done anything.

Lan Chuan Dongya subconsciously glanced at Gui Yewu, only to find that the other man's gaze was not on him, but fixed on the murder scene, with a playful smile on his lips.

This immediately made Aikawa Touya even more nervous.

In the middle of the scene, after calling the police, Kogoro Mouri began to perform an autopsy on Akako Suoh.

Meanwhile, Conan, as usual, leaped and bounded around the murder scene as if it were his own backyard.

This time, Ran Mouri ignored him and instead stared intently at Conan with a strange light in her eyes.

Unfortunately, Conan, who was busy investigating, did not notice her unusual behavior.

Conan quickly determined that Su Fang Hongzi's death was a murder.

The murder weapon was a dagger, which was plunged squarely into Su Fanghongzi's heart.

He must have killed her while she was asleep!
The primary crime scene was Su Fang Hongzi's room. Before Kogoro Mori smashed the door, the doors and windows were locked. Conan had already checked and there were no signs of forced entry.

In other words, the place was a locked room at the time of the incident.

This is a locked-room murder case!

Conan immediately became interested.

Escape rooms are great; I love solving challenging cases.

How did the murderer manage to kill Su Fang Hongzi in a locked room and leave without leaving a trace?

There must be some kind of cover-up!
Conan held his large head and fell into deep thought.

Ran Mouri looked at the expression on his face that was exactly the same as Shinichi Kudo's, and cursed herself again for being an idiot before. How could she have never noticed something so obvious?
Although the culprit cleverly arranged the scene as a locked room, intending to create the illusion that the crime was impossible, he underestimated the two renowned detectives present. Leaving aside Kogoro Mouri for now, Conan has handled at least eighty or a hundred locked-room murders, making him incredibly experienced.

They found the clues with almost no effort.

Just like a tangled mess finally being untangled, all that was needed was to follow the clues, and Conan easily deduced the truth behind this "locked-room murder case"!

A sharp white light flashed across the lens.

Conan, I understand!
Ran Mouri, who had been focusing her attention on him, immediately became expectant upon seeing this.

As expected of Shinichi!

Then she looked at her father on the other side, who was still wandering around like a headless fly... Ran Mouri looked disgusted.

Next, it's time for the real reasoning show!

Ran Mouri watched helplessly as Conan knocked out her father with a single needle, and couldn't help but twitch her lips a few times.

Witnessing this scene firsthand was almost unbearable.

Fortunately, she managed to refrain from intervening, letting her "son-in-law" defeat her "father-in-law."

Shinichi, I look forward to the day when Dad never finds out...

Conan was unaware that his every move was being watched by Ran Mouri, who had cast a "death curse" on him.

After Kogoro Mouri automatically struck a pose, Ran, oblivious to everyone else, hid behind him—Ran Mouri's lips twitched again upon seeing this, and she seriously considered whether to learn culinary disasters from her mother—and began her deduction:

"Gentlemen, I now know who the murderer is!"

Apart from Ran Mouri and Takeshi Onino, everyone else was shocked by Kogoro Mouri's words. He had found out the truth so quickly. Detective Kogoro Mouri truly lived up to his reputation!

My eyes were immediately drawn to it.

"The real culprit who murdered Ms. Su Fanghongzi is..."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for "Kogoro Mouri" to announce the answer.

"...Ms. Inaba Kazuyo!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone's attention immediately turned to Su Fanghongzi's secretary.

The faces of the crowd showed surprise, disbelief, and contemplation...

Inaba and Shionori, who were accused, changed their expressions drastically, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes. They then feigned anger and loudly defended themselves:
"What a joke! How could I possibly kill Teacher Su Fang? That's complete nonsense! I think this so-called famous detective is nothing but a show-off who's all talk and no action!"

"You're probably the one seeking fame and fortune!"

Before Conan could even speak, Aikawa Touya couldn't hold back any longer and dropped a bombshell with a sarcastic laugh.

"Su Fang Hongzi has been using the guise of charity to line her own pocket for so many years, and you've also taken a share of it, so what are you pretending for!"

His words astonished everyone present!

Those unaware of the truth were immediately shocked by Aikawa Touya's revelation.

Is Su Fang Hongzi really such a hypocrite?

"You...you're talking nonsense!!"

Inaba Kazuyo pointed at Aikawa Touya with a guilty conscience and angrily scolded, "Teacher Su Fang is your godmother. She has supported you since you were a child and raised you. How dare you slander her like this? You are simply ungrateful!"

"That wicked woman is not my godmother!" Lan Chuan Dongya was even more agitated than her.

Now that Su Fanghongzi was dead, he had no more reservations and revealed everything, completely exposing Su Fanghongzi's hypocritical mask.

Lan Chuan Dongya's words were reasonable and well-founded, and since he was Su Fang Hongzi's adopted son, the others were shocked, but they still chose to believe him.

The lofty image of Su Fang and Hong Zi in their minds also collapsed, turning them into something despicable.

"You, you...!"

Rice leaves and straw mats were speechless, unable to refute the argument.

At this moment, Conan delivered a fatal blow, directly exposing her modus operandi and presenting evidence.

It turns out that after Inaba Kazuyo killed Suho Akako, he deliberately made her scream, and then quickly hid behind the door after setting up the scene.

Next, all you need to do is wait for the newcomers to break down the door, and while everyone's attention is drawn to Su Fang Hongzi lying in a pool of blood, quickly slip into the crowd and pretend to be one of the people who came with you.

With a single move of "fishing in troubled waters," the scene was transformed into an airtight secret room.

The case, which seemed complicated, was actually unbelievably simple when you looked into it.

"The evidence is the fabric fibers from your clothes that were accidentally snagged by a nail when you were hiding behind the door! A simple technical comparison will tell us if they belong to you!"

Faced with the irrefutable evidence presented by Conan, Inaba and Shiro were speechless.

Now the truth is out!
