puff……

Lingchuan couldn't help wanting to laugh.

But he had to admire that there was some truth in what Kogoro Mori said.

If Lingchuan hadn't acquired the ability to be a detective, his own reasoning wouldn't necessarily be better than this.

But even so, he still couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, he held back, but although he held back, some people couldn't help themselves and even laughed out loud unscrupulously.

This person is Kento Toba.

After listening to Maori Kogoro's reasoning, he said bluntly, "It seems that the reasoning ability of the sleeping Kogoro is not that good."

"That's right," Oki Ayako agreed, "In my opinion, the innkeeper was most likely murdered."

"That's right," Toba Kento nodded:

"As long as you knock out the innkeeper first, or kill him, then get him into the car, and then put the gear in the forward gear, the car will move forward automatically."

"And to do all of this, any one of us here can do it."

Maori Kogoro was very unconvinced, "Are you trying to say that the murderer is hiding among us?"

"It's obvious."

Kento Toba raised his head proudly.

The way he looked down on Kogoro Mouri made Conan frown.

He must be the murderer!

Conan looked at Kento Toba with certainty.

But how did he do it?

He was not there when the innkeeper appeared in the living room, and when the innkeeper left, Kento Toba happened to come back.

No matter how you look at it, they are on different paths.

How did Kento Toba kill the innkeeper and put him in the car?

and also……

"Brother, didn't you just say that all cars can't be driven?" Conan asked, looking at Hattori Heiji.

"But the tires of the car driven by Uncle Jingu just now were intact~"

"Yes!" Maori Kogoro tapped his hands, "Didn't you say before that the tires of the cars in the garage were deflated?"

"What's with the one the innkeeper is driving?"

Hattori Heiji was also very surprised.

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken. The cars in the garage are unusable."

Hattori Heiji was dissatisfied with Conan's suspicion of him, "How could you, little brat..."

Halfway through his speech, Hattori suddenly stopped.

Because he suddenly realized that this might be a hint from Conan.

As a famous high school detective in Kansai, it is impossible for Hattori Heiji to make a mistake about something like the tire.

So, the car that was originally unable to drive started just now? And it even drove towards the cliff in front of him!

The problem is in the garage!

After figuring out the key, Hattori Heiji pushed everyone away and ran towards the garage.

Conan's eyes flashed as he watched Hattori's disappearing back. When the others followed him without knowing why, he left with Lingchuan at the end.

However, because Hiroki was always with Lingchuan, Conan did not speak to Lingchuan in the tone of Kudo Shinichi.

He blinked and asked in a childish tone, "Brother Lingchuan, did you notice anything just now?"

"Uncle Maori asked me to come and ask you if you saw anything strange just now."

Conan was completely unprepared and even his disguise was a bit perfunctory.

But this level is enough for a ten-year-old child.

Unfortunately, Hiroki is not your average ten-year-old.

Hiroki, who saw through Conan's tricks, couldn't help but roll his eyes, but Conan didn't care.

He just regarded Hongshu's rolling eyes as a child's expression of "jealousy and anxiety".

Because Hiroki followed Lingchuan from beginning to end, Conan mistakenly thought that he was an insecure and clingy child.

Moreover, he only knew Lingchuan in this place, so it was natural for him to feel uneasy in front of a bunch of strangers.

Lingchuan comforted Hiroki who was hiding behind him with a bit of amusement. He was very happy to answer Conan's question, "Yes."

"Did you see that person?" Lingchuan looked up into the distance, his eyes fell on Toba Kento who was very leisurely in the crowd, and said softly,

"Remember to tell Mr. Maori that the man's expression just now was very ugly."

"Ugly?"

"Well, it's as if I didn't expect Kanaya Hiroyuki to show up so soon."

Conan looked up in surprise.

Lingchuan's last words made it clear directly.

"anything else?"

Conan temporarily forgot about his disguise as he was discussing this matter. "You should have seen more than just this."

"Yes, and him." Lingchuan tilted his head, "He also discovered that something was wrong with Toba Kento, but he chose to hide it."

Conan looked at the back of Zhan Tang Youju and pondered, "Could it be a gang crime?"

"You sent Hattori Heiji to check the garage. You probably thought it was a gang crime from the beginning, right?" Lingchuan smiled and suddenly approached Conan very carefully.

"Hattori Heiji seems to recognize you."

"How is that possible..." Conan retorted subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that Hiroki was still around.

When he looked up in surprise, he saw that Hiroki had been taken away by Mao Lilan.

"Do you think I'm as careless as you?" Lingchuan's teasing look made Conan feel a little uncomfortable. Conan himself knew that he would forget the surrounding situation when discussing the case, but he couldn't change it.

This time too, if it weren't for Lingchuan, he might have been suspected again.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief thinking, "Luckily it's you."

Chapter 123 Being calculated

"What do you think about this case?" Lingchuan did not respond to Conan's words which clearly divided them into one camp.

He glanced in the direction of Mao Lilan, and Hiroki was talking to her about something.

Taking advantage of this time, Lingchuan plans to test Conan.

"We already know who the murderer is, but..."

"But I don't know how he did it, right?"

"Hmm." Conan frowned, "I'm sure that when the innkeeper gathered everyone in the living room, Toba Kento and Ooki Ayako must have been planning something."

"But I sneaked into the garage and checked it out before. There was nothing unusual there. Even what Hattori said about the tire problem was correct."

"Then the innkeeper and Iwai Hitomi left the living room, and Toba Kento came back. He stayed with us the rest of the time."

"It stands to reason that he would not have the time or opportunity to do it."

This information is only superficial. Lingchuan nodded and agreed with Conan's analysis.

"If we could see the interior of the car driven by the innkeeper, this problem might be solved."

"But now the car has been blown up," Conan shook his head, "The only clue we have is the set of tools used to change tires in the garage."

The car, whose tire had been deflated, was suddenly drivable again; it was obvious that someone had replaced the tire with a spare one.

All the tools used to change tires are portable and can be found in the garage.

If the vehicle problem is not too serious, you can handle it yourself with the tools in the garage.

Conan guessed this simple logical chain when he saw Hiroyuki Kanaya driving his car off a cliff.

After he guessed it, he realized that this was a good opportunity - he could send Hattori Heiji away and talk to Lingchuan alone.

Hattori Heiji may not have thought of this, but he had to see the details of the scene with his own eyes to know for sure.

"Are you worried that the clues provided by that set of tools won't reveal anything?" Lingchuan raised his eyebrows.

Otherwise he couldn't understand why Conan didn't go and see the situation over there himself.

"Yes," Conan nodded, "The person I want to change the tire of my car is..."

"Innkeeper?!"

Conan was startled by the sudden response.

He looked up and saw that they had unknowingly walked to the garage.

At this time, Maria Toda and others were discussing something with Hattori Heiji.

"You mean, these tools were left by the innkeeper to replace the car tires?" Pointing at the tools scattered on the ground, Fujisawa Toshiaki said in disbelief:

"Did the innkeeper really commit suicide?"

"Are you an idiot?" Hattori Heiji criticized without mercy, "Who would commit suicide and then go out of their way to do something for themselves?"

"That's what I mean," Kento Toba leaned against another car, "even if he wanted to commit suicide, he wouldn't choose this method."

"It's totally unnecessary to repair the car and then drive it off the cliff."

Kogoro Mori felt uncomfortable as if he was under stress when he heard Kento Toba talking.

But he had to admit that what Kento Toba said this time made sense.

If you really want to commit suicide, why not just jump off the cliff?
