The world of science is unscientific

He opened it and said regretfully, "All the cigarettes are ruined."

Conan frowned and seized the opportunity to ask, "By the way, Uncle, how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?"

"Let me think, maybe forty."

"You must feel terrible without cigarettes, right?" Kogoro Mouri reached into his pocket. "If you don't mind..."

"No need, I have some I bought beforehand in the car, and I only smoke cigars, I don't touch any other cigarettes. Mr. Mori, would you like to try some?"

Upon hearing this, the bumbling detective was immediately tempted, but Yokomizo Sango stopped him, saying, "Let's ask about the circumstances of the incident first, Mr. Mori."

At this moment, Shiro Umetani became excited, "That's right, I have something really good. I kept a camera in that room, initially to record the process..."

"So you mean!?"

"That's right, the detailed process of Hiramatsu stabbing me with a knife should have been filmed."

After listening, Yusuke Suzuki walked over and squatted down next to Conan.

"Any ideas?"

“I have a strong feeling that there are many suspicious points,” Conan stared at Shiro Umetani. “There must be more to the case than meets the eye.”

"Let's hurry up and solve the case," Yusuke Suzuki said with some disdain. "There's no cell phone signal here, and I feel like I'm half dead."

Conan looked speechless. "It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"

"Besides, if that's the case, why don't you do it yourself?"

Yusuke Suzuki looked Conan in the eyes. "You said it yourself."

"You...you mean!?" Conan asked in shock, "You've figured everything out again!?"

"Should I do it or you?" Suzuki Yusuke didn't answer, but instead asked.

Conan scratched his chin a little embarrassedly. "I'll do it. Anyway, we can't leave for a while."

Chapter 302 Make a Phone Call

Conan is absolutely right.

Even if Yusuke Suzuki personally intervenes, he won't be able to get Shiro Umetani to confess quickly, since so far, no crucial evidence has been found.

All the thoughts in his mind were just speculation.

To find evidence, the plot must continue to unfold.

Under Conan's influence of his supposedly lowered intelligence, Shiro Umeya has already shown some weaknesses.

Yusuke Suzuki had been standing right behind Kogoro Mouri, and he clearly saw that the cigarette case that had shielded Shiro Umetani contained only four thin cigars.

It's not that there are only four left, but that only four can fit, and they must be placed diagonally.

You know, Shiro Umeya just said that he smokes about 40 cigarettes a day, so it's impossible for him to carry 4 with him at all times.

Furthermore, the fact that he had pre-purchased cigars in his car indicates that he didn't switch brands or flavors at the last minute. As the company president, the fact that his cigarette case didn't match the size of the cigarettes he wanted to smoke is quite telling.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Inspector Yokomizo listened to Yusuke Suzuki and had his men investigate the brake fluid issue.

It's truly tragic. When Conan was falsely conveying imperial orders, the police would do whatever he was told and answer every question. But what happened when it was his turn?

Ugh......

Just as Suzuki Yusuke exhaled, two police officers came in from outside and upstairs respectively, and the two spoke in unison.

"Officer Yokomizo!"

"Wh...what's wrong?" Yokomizo Sango's gaze swept between the two of them for a moment, then he pointed and said, "You go first."

"Yes, Officer Yokomizo. We've made some discoveries on the second floor. Could you please come over here?"

"what happened?"

The police officer glanced at Shiro Umetani, leaned down and whispered, "We did find some things, including a suicide note."

"What!?" Yokomizo Sango stood up. "Take me to see this quickly."

He had just taken a step out when he stopped and turned back, saying, "I forgot about you... Is there anything you need to report?"

"Officer, our investigation revealed a large amount of brake fluid in the empty parking spaces outside. We have compared it with the brake fluid remaining on the road and in the vehicles involved in the accident, and it is the same."

Upon hearing this, Conan's eyes widened. It seemed the case was truly about to take a turn!

Yokomizo Sango's expression also turned serious. After a moment of contemplation, he instructed, "Continue to search the area and see if there are any other suspicious traces. I'll go upstairs and take a look first."

"Yes!"

This coral-headed man was quite fond of Kogoro Mouri, so naturally he brought the bumbling detective with him upstairs. Thus, Conan followed along as well.

Forensic investigators found a box in Masaki Hiramatsu's room on the second floor containing a stun gun, rope, and a suicide note.

The suicide note was not handwritten, but printed.

The content was quite brief, and the reason given for suicide was simply "lack of confidence in continuing to run the company."

After confirming that there was nothing else in the room related to the case, Yokomizo Sango went back downstairs and placed the suicide note from the evidence bag in front of Umetani Shiro.

“Mr. Meigu, I think you need to explain.”

Umeya Shiro first looked down to examine it closely, then exclaimed incredulously, "How is this possible! Who wrote this? It's obvious I would never commit suicide!"

"In that case, this is probably what Hiramatsu is going to use to carry out his plan, to create the illusion that you committed suicide."

Yokomizo gave a preliminary conclusion: "In short, let's watch that video first."

"Brother Yusuke, aren't you going to watch?"

Everyone was preparing to go to the next room when Conan noticed that Suzuki Yusuke hadn't moved.

"I need to rest for a while. Now that you've all left, I can lie down on the sofa."

As they were talking, Yusuke Suzuki had already settled down, looking quite relaxed.

Conan pursed his lips and turned to leave.

Suddenly, only Yusuke Suzuki was left in the lobby. After waiting for about half a minute, he opened his eyes, sat up, and walked towards the landline.

It would be a shame not to take this opportunity to call Ai Haibara.

He glanced at the time; it was a little past ten. Ai should still be awake.

The call is made.

Dr. A Li's house.

Ai Haibara was sitting on the sofa with Asuka in her arms, while Gamu was lying on the floor.

She was holding her phone.

The two short text messages that were received indicated that Yusuke Suzuki was simply in an area with poor signal and nothing had happened to him.

But she still wanted to wait a little longer. Putting herself in Suzuki Yusuke's shoes, she thought that if she were in Suzuki Yusuke's situation, she would be very worried about whether the person she cared about was still worried.

It's a bit of a mouthful, but that's how it is.

Suddenly, her hand was startled by a tremor.

I've never seen this number before.

connected.

Hello? Who is this?

"it's me."

"Yusuke?"

Ai Haibara instinctively sat up straight, and in doing so, pulled Asuka back from the brink of falling asleep.

She quickly thought of many things and asked easily, "Is your matter over there finished?"

"That's about it, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to go back to Tokyo."

"Idiot, you don't need to rush back. It's already past ten o'clock. Even if you rushed back in the middle of the night, I wouldn't pick you up."

Since Asuka wanted to break free of her restraints and find another place to sleep, Ai Haibara simply got up, released Asuka, and went outside into the yard.

The cool breeze invigorated her somewhat drowsy spirit.

She continued with a laugh, "By the way, I haven't heard any noise around you. Are you secretly calling me right now?"

"Well, Shiho..."

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly lower, Ai Haibara's heart sank as well, but she quickly recovered, put on a smile, and used this method to keep her voice light.

"I am here."

"fine......"

"It's good that you're alright," Ai Haibara continued to chuckle, even letting her voice sound like she was laughing. "So, should I come see you tomorrow?"

"want."

"Then remember to tell me when you'll be back."

"..."

Aren't you going to ask me some questions?

Ai Haibara glanced at the sky, her expression softening. "So, what should I ask?"

"This is not a question that is usually asked."

"I'm sorry then."

Hearing a soft laugh from the other end of the phone, Ai Haibara secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened today, she could tell that Suzuki Yusuke's mood was definitely off just now, almost instantly.

She also had a hunch that the root of the other person's strange emotions was likely related to those secrets buried in their hearts.

However, Ai Haibara doesn't have time to think much right now; she needs to pay attention to the emotional changes of her beloved.

Over the phone, she couldn't even give the other person a simple hug.
