Chapter 17 The Murderer's Fingerprints

On the Blue Star bullet screen website.

"Conan is such a scumbag!"

"Conan: You're not going to be my mouth double, huh? Just wait and see if I ejaculate!"

"Conan-brand anesthetic, effective instantly, no tricks up your sleeve!"

"I have to say... this case is quite interesting. I originally thought the victim would be one of the couples from before, but I didn't expect the case to happen to someone else."

"It can only be said that the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student has put on his power. Yuu Tetsu is also unlucky. He was walking alone with Conan and he was lucky not to get involved. It seems that he is not a one-off supporting character."

"Definitely! But besides that, I also find it quite funny to watch the three female suspects pulling each other's hair; their fake sisterhood can turn sour in an instant."

"Can I say that Yuzuru-kun is a hundred times better than that bespectacled brat?"

"How so?"

"Before seeing Yuzuru-kun, I thought crime scenes were places anyone could just walk into."

"I feel like you're calling out a primary school student's name."

"Indeed, once Conan sees a case, he doesn't think about anything else and doesn't care about anyone else. To be honest, it's not so surprising that he was knocked unconscious by the men in black at the amusement park."

"To be honest, you could tell Conan was in a hurry in this episode, but he was held back by Ran's ruthless iron hand, and then he even tried to persuade Yuuto to go in."

"You guys only look at Toru Hanyu's good looks, but I only focus on his strengths. Haven't you noticed that Toru Hanyu seems to have pretty strong reasoning skills as well?"

"+1, I feel like Yuzuru is hiding his true abilities. This guy clearly doesn't want to show off."

A group of people were discussing the plot with great interest, and they were already used to the idea of ​​the Grim Reaper elementary school student shooting people with tranquilizer darts.

……

"Is the statement taken yet?" Inspector Megure asked Takagi, who was standing nearby.

"It's done." Takagi closed the notebook.

"Ahem~" Inspector Megure cleared his throat and turned to the three girls. "This case still requires further investigation and examination. You three can go back and wait for news. If we need your assistance in the investigation, we will notify you again."

"good……"

"I see."

The three men, each with a different expression, nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Inspector Megure was about to release the man, Conan could no longer contain himself.

He hid in the shadows beside the sofa, quietly opened the watch cover, and aimed it at the back of Yuzuru Hanyu's neck.

Although Yuu Toru had his back to him and seemed to be focused entirely on the corpse, he had been keeping a watchful eye on Conan ever since Conan dashed off to that corner.

Sure enough, that kid was up to no good.

Yuzuru noticed the malicious gaze and subtly pulled up the collar of his jacket, the thick fabric covering his neck.

"Damn it, this angle is terrible for shooting!"

In the shadows, Conan gritted his teeth, his gaze sweeping quickly across the room.

Sonoko and Ran were standing too far apart.

Inspector Megure and Takagi were completely blocked by Toru Hanyu's body, so his only target was Toru Hanyu.

But the collar of Yuzuru's jacket looked very thick, and he had no chance of piercing it with his small tranquilizer dart.

Conan was at a loss for what to do. Once this case is over, he must go back and ask Professor Agasa to increase the power of the tranquilizer dart. There should be at least two levels, one for everyday use and one specifically for dealing with this kind of clothing!

Just as Conan adjusted his angle, preparing to take a gamble, a voice shattered his plan.

"Wait a minute, Inspector Megure."

Yuzuru suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but it made everyone stop what they were doing.

"W-what's wrong?" Inspector Megure asked, somewhat bewildered.

"I already know who the killer is."

These words shocked everyone in the room.

All eyes immediately focused on Yuzuru, even Sonoko Suzuki and Ran looked somewhat surprised.

"Are you sure?" forensic pathologist Koji Yano couldn't help but ask.

"Confirmed." Yuzuru nodded, then turned around and looked amusedly at the elementary school student behind the sofa who only had half his head sticking out. "Actually, this is all thanks to Conan."

"Huh? Me?"

Conan, who had just put away his tranquilizer gun, had no choice but to awkwardly emerge from the shadows under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Megure's expression froze; he clearly didn't know when Conan had gone to that place again.

"The ring Conan found under the sofa just now confirmed one thing for me." Yuuto Tetsu's gaze swept over Megure. "This wasn't an accident at all; it was a full-blown murder!"

"..."

"What do you mean, Yuzuru-kun?" Inspector Megure's expression changed, and even his form of address changed.

"Yeah~ Wasn't this an accident?" Sonoko Suzuki also curiously came over.

"No..." Yuzuru shook his head, "You can take a closer look at the location of the body."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze back to the corpse.

"The body was lying face down, with its head facing inwards towards the sofa. If it was truly an accident—a drunk person accidentally knocking over a glass bottle and being hit on the back of the head—which direction would their body fall?"

"Head outwards!" Sonoko Suzuki answered first, a hint of smugness in her voice.

"That's right." Yuzuru gave her an approving look and continued, "The posture of the corpse was completely inconsistent with the common sense of accidental death. It wasn't until Conan found the ring under the sofa that I figured everything out."

He paused, then looked at Conan.

"You can try to simulate it."

"Let me do it, Yuzuru-nii~" Conan immediately raised his hand.

"Okay." Yuzuru nodded. "Conan, now imitate what it looks like when something falls under the sofa and you reach out to pick it up."

Conan obediently lay down on the floor, stretched out his little arms, and groped under the sofa.

This scene sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Because the spot where Conan was lying down was directly above the shelf where the glass vases had been placed.

With just a gentle push, it could hit Conan on the back of the head.

"Do you understand now?" Yuzuru's voice rang out again.

"Hmm! I think I understand now too." Sonoko nodded in agreement.

"In other words, the deceased was trying to pick something up when someone pushed the vase off from behind and hit him on the back of the head!" Takagi's expression suddenly realized.

"Who is the killer, Yuzuru?" Inspector Megure pressed.

All three girls had motives, making it difficult to determine theirs immediately.

Yuzuru's gaze slowly shifted to the three girls with different expressions.

Yuna Nakano had her boyfriend stolen. Rina Yano had her competition qualification stolen. Miyuki Horie's family business scandal was held in the hands of the deceased.

In terms of the severity of the motive for murder, Miyuki Horie is undoubtedly the most serious.

But solving a case is all about evidence.

Yuzuru looked at forensic pathologist Yano Koji: "Have you identified the fingerprints on the ring?"

Yano Koji nodded.

Yuzuru withdrew his gaze, finally fixing it on Inspector Megure, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Inspector Megure, I think the killer would have touched the ring himself to lure the victim down."

"So, besides the deceased's fingerprints, whose fingerprint was the other one left on the ring?"
