Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 764 The Heartfelt Words of Mistakes

The boy was the neighbor of the Morozuki family. His living room faced the Morozuki family directly, and he could see the red horse on the second floor of the Morozuki family's house when he opened the window.

"Because I like to watch TV with the lights off, I happened to see a horse reflected on the curtains."

The boy used gestures to describe the size.

Do you remember the time?

Inspector Gong was overjoyed.

If the time can be determined, it will be very helpful for the subsequent questioning.

"I remember it was around 7:40 when the baseball game ended and I was just about to change the channel."

"Besides the red horse, what else did you see?"

Kogoro Mouri pressed for an answer.

"No, because I was busy watching Kamen Rider later, and it suddenly got very noisy outside, so I went out to watch it with my mom."

"By the way, Natsukawa-nii, I haven't had a chance to ask you yet. You rushed out just now, you must have noticed something, right?" Conan suddenly asked.

"Yes, I found a very suspicious man, and I think he might be the murderer."

Xia Chuan didn't hide anything and told the others about the salesman.

Having seen each other during the day, a brief description was enough for the group to recall the down-on-his-luck and embarrassed salesman.

Inspector Yumikawa knew Natsukawa; as a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, he had heard of the man who worked alongside Detective Mouri.

Add to that Joel, and his name is practically legendary.

Therefore, he was very concerned about Genda Takatoku, whom Natsukawa mentioned.

Therefore, the other party was summoned.

Upon seeing the other person, Inspector Gong Chang suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong, Inspector?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

“I’ve actually met Genda Takatoku before; he’s even been at crime scenes a few times before.”

"Brother Yugachi, then why don't you arrest him?" Kogoro Mouri's voice rose, sounding somewhat puzzled, as he had never heard the other party mention it before.

If he had known, he wouldn't have left so easily during the day.

"Although he is very suspicious, I do not doubt that he is the murderer."

"What's the reason?" Xia Chuan asked.

He completely believed Anya's true feelings, and his question was simply to get her to explain her reasons and offer a rebuttal.

“Takayuki Genda’s father was a firefighter who died in a fire when he was very young, and he seems to care a lot about it.”

Inspector Gong Chang recounted, "At first, I also thought he was the murderer. Perhaps he thought that arson would allow him to see his father again, but after that meeting, I no longer thought so."

On the night of the third case, which was the night before last, Inspector Yumikaze couldn't help but bring Takatoku Genda to the park for questioning.

Because there was no evidence, and the other party seemed to have some mental issues and was not very cooperative, no useful information was obtained.

But after he left, Genda Ryūtoku looked very strange and nervously groped around on the ground.

Inspector Gong Chang waited patiently for a long time until rain began to fall from the sky. The look of relief on the other person's face suddenly made him realize that Genda Takatoku was actually looking for his cigarette butt.

How could someone like that be an arsonist?

"It's unlikely that the approach is solely determined by the details."

Xia Chuan smacked his lips, suddenly unable to utter a rebuttal, glanced at Anya, and frowned.

Logically, Genda Takatoku shouldn't have done this; it doesn't align with arson.

And judging from the other person's expression just now, they seemed to be preoccupied and didn't seem like they were there to appreciate their "work of art." Something seemed off.

"Inspector Gongchang, you just said he has mental problems, is that right?" Xia Chuan asked abruptly.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"Could it be a case of split personality, with the arsonist and the normal person being different personalities?"

This was a bold speculation, but it gave Conan and Hattori, who were equally puzzled, a glimmer of hope.

Based on Genda Takatoku's case, it is highly likely that he suffered from dissociative identity disorder.

This also explains why she behaved this way in front of Inspector Gong Chang, because her second personality was always hidden.

"Eh"

Anya suddenly remembered something and tugged at Xia Chuan's sleeve.

Xia Chuan lowered his head and brought his ear closer.

According to what Anya heard, Genda Ryūnō had indeed seen a psychiatrist, who diagnosed him with severe sleepwalking.

Besides food, there is another crucial piece of information—Genda Takatoku's doctor's surname is Morozuki!
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Xia Chuan said, rubbing his forehead.

“How could Anya know that being sick could affect whether someone is the murderer?” Anya muttered to herself.

There's almost no need to reason further.

Psychiatrist Dr. Morozumi, mental patient Takatoku Genda
Since they all share the same surname, Morozumi, the culprit is quite obvious, and the role that Genda Takatoku played in this case can also be confirmed.

Isn't this blatant brainwashing or hypnosis of patients through treatment?

Knowing especially about the Morozumi family, Natsukawa was almost 100% certain of the murderer's identity.

That so-called Dr. Morozumi is very likely the man who was just next to Soga Misao.

"Inspector Gong Chang, bring all three suspects over. I've roughly figured it out."

"Oh, no, we should also call Ryoko Morozumi's husband. There should be four suspects."

"Hey, when did Natsukawa become so eager to show off?" Hattori Heiji scratched his head, feeling that Natsukawa had been standing out a bit lately.

Previously, Xia Chuan preferred to listen quietly to their reasoning, but now he has actually taken the initiative to step forward and solve the case.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that it's too fast!
You've only been there for less than an hour, right?

The two detectives exchanged a glance, realizing that their attempt to demonstrate their abilities was likely to fail.

"Could it be that Natsukawa-nii is showing me with his actions that even without my brilliant mind, he can still find Karasuma Renya and learn the secrets of the brewery?"

Conan clenched his fists nervously, his desire for Natsukawa to be unable to solve the case taking over.

A glint flashed in Vermouth's eyes, as if she had been inspired. She silently took out her phone and sent a text message.

Xia Chuan did not notice this subtle movement, while Anya also focused her attention on Genda Ryūtoku, who had just walked over.

Listening to my heart again, it's still the same as before.

Anya was stunned.

The other person had clearly expressed that they were the murderer, but judging from what the father just said, it wasn't him.
Where were you at 7:40?

As soon as Genda Ryūtoku stood still, Natsukawa asked him directly.

In Japan, there's no concern about overstepping the bounds of the police; the police don't care at all and even hope for a savior to speed up the investigation.

Therefore, Inspector Yukimatsu was not displeased at all; on the contrary, he spoke up for him, saying, "Mr. Genda, please speak frankly. We will not wrong an innocent person."

Genda Ryūnō was still wondering why the people he had met during the day were with the police. When he heard the question, his expression stiffened, and his conflicted and ashen face was just like that of the murderers who were about to be sent to prison.
