Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

The girls' negative votes were not based on rational thinking; they simply disliked Conan, or rather, Shinichi Kudo.

They didn't care at all about winning or losing the bet!

Luo Tian also realized this, and quietly changed his words.

"So... is it too late for me to suggest changing the stakes?"

He was greeted by the shy gazes of the young girls.

When playing the mini-carriage game, were there any new rules or variations that they didn't accept?

Today is the same; it's just a matter of changing a few clothes!

I'll buy several hundred sets when I get back!

I'll change my outfit every time I play a game, and I won't wear the same one twice in a whole year!

……

"Brother Mori, have you noticed any clues?"

Megure has mastered the art of winning by doing nothing.

Seeing that someone volunteered, regardless of whether it was useful or not, they went to the side to rest.

After letting Kogoro Mouri busy himself for a while, he asked with a glimmer of hope.

Even though I don't really trust my old friend's abilities, it would be great if it could get me off work early!

"This one……"

The old father's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

He is usually quite self-aware; he knows which commissions he can accept and which he cannot.

But today, after having a few drinks and being urged on by the crew members, I acted impulsively and stepped forward on my own.

After reluctantly investigating for more than half an hour, we still couldn't find any clues.

Although there are surveillance cameras inside the hospital building, there are none in the wards to protect patient privacy.

Outside the building, apart from the main entrance and parking lot, there are no surveillance cameras installed in other areas.

The same applies outside the hospital building where the incident occurred.

The incident occurred at around 7 p.m., and since it happened at a hospital, there were no witnesses.

"I know! The murderer must be Shingo Nachi!"

Out of pride, Kogoro Mouri could only turn his attention to Shingo Nachi, who was already under suspicion by the police.

Police investigation revealed that the last call on the deceased Anzai Morio's phone was to Nachi Shingo.

After separating from the crew, Nachi Shingo also failed to provide an alibi.

Police interrogation further uncovered an extortion deal between the two.

The result is quite obvious!

"Ugh--"

Megure suddenly smiled with relief.

He wasn't mocking Kogoro Mouri, but rather himself.

After knowing each other for so many years, I still had illusions about my old friend's abilities, wasting so much time.

How could he not know that Nachi Shingo was the most suspicious person?

The key is evidence!

Being a suspect doesn't necessarily mean you're right; the police rely heavily on evidence when handling cases!

Subconsciously, he turned his gaze to Xiaolan and the others who were sitting in a row on the hood of the police car.

To be precise, she was looking at the little boy being held in Ran's arms.

Having had several precedents, Megure has developed a habitual way of thinking.

Following this cute little boy will definitely help me leave work early!

"(????)??Hi!"

Luo Tian naturally noticed Megure's expectant gaze, but simply waved and greeted him.

Just kidding! If he solves the case first, how can he still laugh at the big black rat?!

·· Requesting flowers ····

Seeing this, Inspector Megure could only reluctantly avert his gaze.

What else can he do? Can he force a cute little boy to help him?

Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

"I already know who the murderer is!"

Conan stood beside the corpse. Even though it was night, the lenses of his black-rimmed glasses still reflected light eerily, giving him an expression that said he had seen through everything.

"A new machine! That's what Heiji-nii-san said!"

Although his urge to reason was almost irresistible, he still retained some rationality.

In front of so many people, he certainly couldn't tell the truth himself, so he had to give the opportunity to show off to Hattori Heiji.

Even after becoming a proud sycophant, Osaka Kuroki still hasn't forgotten his identity as a detective.

.. ..0

However, he prioritizes the object of his affections above all else, and his intelligence has been ravaged by the "simp" gene, causing him to lose his former sharpness and wit.

However, working as Conan's assistant is still perfectly fine.

He spent a short time visiting hospitals and investigating, and then went back to Beika Shrine to collect evidence. In just over an hour, he was exhausted.

But Heiji Hattori had absolutely no complaints!

For a simp, this is what he should do!

Influenced by Conan, he recently went online to learn about Sherlock Holmes and even became determined to become a good Watson!

Although Big Black Rat always tells him to watch less of that show called "Sherlock".

"Ahem, yes, after some investigation, I've discovered the truth!"

Faced with the gazes of everyone, Hattori Heiji seemed to have transformed back into the spirited high school detective he once was.

But you can tell from his sycophantic behavior of bowing down to the big black rat three times for every sentence that he can never go back.

"The murderer! It's you! Ms. Mamegaki Taeko!"

"I'm the murderer?!"

Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Mamegaki Taeko, who had been named, exclaimed in surprise.

How did she become a murderer?!

"That's impossible! Hasn't Taeko been with us at the hotel the whole time?"

"Yes! I even had several drinks with her!"

"I even watched her go to take a bath!!"

"Hmm? Something's not right with you!"

Chapter 145 Conan's Method of Elimination: There's More Than One Truth (Second Update)

　"If I'm not mistaken, your going back to the hotel with the film crew was just a cover!"

"The real purpose is to manipulate everyone and create alibis!"

"You said you went back to your room to take a shower, but I asked the hotel staff! Your bathrobe and towels in your room were completely untouched!"

"You used your shower time to travel to and from the hospital to carry out your murder plan!"

"Am I right, Miss Mamegaki Taeko!"

At Conan's behest, Heiji Hattori's words were a wake-up call.

The police and the film crew looked horrified and believed it to be true.

Even Mamegaki Taeko's expression changed, as if she had been exposed.

"Brother Hattori, you say she's the murderer, so what's the motive?"

Eager to leave work, Inspector Megure quickly pressed for an answer.

"220." "As for the motive, I have already asked the head priest of Beika Shrine, who is also Ms. Mamegaki Taeko's grandfather."

"You, who lost both your parents a few years ago, went astray and spent your days hanging out with a group of bad friends, including the deceased Anzai Morio."

“A valuable ritual item was lost from the shrine years ago, and the caretaker was so ashamed that he committed suicide.”

"I think you are the culprit who caused this, and that the deceased discovered you and used you to blackmail him!"

"She was about to get married and was afraid her fiancé would find out about this, so she decided to kill him once and for all!"

"Miss Mamegaki Taeko!"

As if he had been prepared, Hattori Heiji pulled out a newspaper.

This was obtained from Mamegaki Taeko's grandfather; it contains news reports about the shrine's theft and the caretaker's suicide years ago.

At the same time, there is a photo of Taeko Mamegaki with her bad friends during her high school years, and Morio Anzai is one of them.

This surprised everyone; no one expected that this seemingly gentle woman would have such a king.

Even her boyfriend, Yuji Shimazaki, was the same.

Seeing this, Conan smiled slightly, quite pleased with everyone's reaction.

To uncover this secret, he spent a long time acting cute and endearing himself to the shrine's head priest, almost making him vomit, before he finally succeeded.

"One pound of pears (I object)!"

Just when everyone thought that Mamegaki Taeko was the murderer, and even Megure was about to take action, a clear child's voice rang out.

"Sonoko-neechan asked, 'After talking for so long, what evidence do you have?'"

Luo Tian interrupted the big black rat's boasting moment without hesitation and casually pulled out a shield.

Sonoko was taken aback when she was suddenly called out, but after receiving a look from the little boy, she immediately understood.

"Oh right, right! All you've said is just your own speculation, pure conjecture. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have evidence, don't slander others!"

When it comes to roasting people, Miss Suzuki is a professional.

She doesn't need to be taught at all; she can silence people with her arguments.

Hattori Heiji and Conan's faces immediately darkened.

To be honest, all they found was Taeko Mamegaki's motive for murder and a false alibi.

There really wasn't any direct evidence found!

Everything that just happened was merely deduction based on the existing clues they had.

They had originally planned to apply constant pressure to get the murderer to confess.

But now that things have been disrupted like this, it's obviously going to be difficult.

Thinking this, the two of them simultaneously cast reproachful glances at Sonoko.

But the next second, he was scared back by Luo Tian's threatening gaze.

Can't afford to offend!

"Even without evidence, the fact that Ms. Mamegaki Taeko deliberately created an alibi is already highly suspicious!"

After hesitating for a moment, Conan and Heiji Hattori stuck to their own judgment.

However, the next second, they were proven wrong again.

"As for alibis, Taeko has one!"

It wasn't Taeko Mamegaki herself who spoke, but her boyfriend, Yuji Shimazaki.

He pulled his girlfriend, who had a strange blush, behind him, took a deep breath, and prepared himself to die.
