Chapter 129 God-like Assist from a Famous Detective
It didn't take long for a group of people to reconstruct the Scene.
As the lights came back on, Inspector Megure checked the Time. "Thirty-four seconds in total. Just as I thought, it doesn't even take a minute to open the Main Breaker."
"Inspector Megure, come over here," Mori Kogoro walked out of the Dining Room, went to the Windowside, and looked seriously at the Rain Threads outside the window. "If you go through the Courtyard, you can secretly reach the Bathroom behind Mrs. Yoko."
Inspector Megure's expression also became serious. "You mean..."
"Yes," Mori Kogoro responded, "If it's her, it's possible for her to commit Murder."
"Wait a minute," Shinde Yoko walked out, dissatisfied. "What are you talking about?"
"Are you done yet?" Shinde Tomoaki also got angry. "Didn't I tell you? Before the Power Outage, everyone in this Home had a very solid Alibi! I don't understand, what's the point of you investigating things after the Power Outage?"
Chi Feichei glanced back. This innocent Child...
Mori Kogoro was embarrassed by the question. "This... this is because..."
"Wait!" Inspector Megure stopped Mori Kogoro from continuing.
Shinde Tomoaki said with dissatisfaction, "In my opinion, you are just interested in this Accident, so you are gossiping in this Place."
Homon Hikari, who went to open the Main Breaker, also walked over. "Um... excuse me, did I do something wrong again?"
"No..." Inspector Megure quickly smiled.
"Investigating clearly is being responsible to Doctor Yoshiteru." Chi Feichei couldn't stand it anymore.
Wouldn't it be enough to use this Reason as a Police and a Detective?
Shinde Tomoaki was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing that the Situation was under control, Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief. He was also afraid that these people would not Cooperate, but why didn't he think of saying that?
Mori Kogoro was thoughtful. He seemed to get a new use for this Disciple, it would be very good to use him to suppress something...
Inspector Megure and Mori Kogoro fussed around for a while, and Conan also wandered around when no one was paying attention.
Finally, Mori Kogoro was anesthetized in the Courtyard under the heavy Rain, and was carried into the Bathroom by the Police.
The Police pretended to leave, and Conan came to deliver a message, saying that Mr. Mouri was going to perform a Deduction Show, but before that, he had to take a bath first. After the Power Outage, he lured the Culprit, Shinde Yoko, out of the Dining Room.
The lights came on again, Homon Hikari went to open the Main Breaker and didn't come back, and Shinde Tomoaki went out again. "No, the Time is wrong, the power came back on too fast!"
Mouri Ran hesitated for a moment, wanting to chase after him, but turned to look at Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei didn't plan to listen to the Reasoning he already knew. "Teacher Mouri is probably reconstructing the Crime Scene Situation. I represent him now, and you represent yourself, so sit down first."
"Oh..." Mouri Ran always felt something was wrong, but she still sat down.
...
In the Bathroom, Shinde Yoko originally wanted to take advantage of the Power Outage to kill the 'Sleeping Kogoro' who had seen through the Truth, but after being exposed, she also admitted to the crime.
Shinde Tomoaki also broke away from the Police who were trying to stop him and ran to the front of the Bathroom.
"If possible, I hope you can Surrender..." Mori Kogoro said.
"Is that so?" Shinde Yoko was a little surprised. "You have a good heart."
"Where, I'm not doing this for you," Conan said in Mori Kogoro's voice, solemnly, "but for Miss Xiao Guang!"
Shinde Tomoaki, who had walked to the Door, stopped and did not push the Door open to break in.
"Although you set up the Murder Trap this time, the person who pulled the Trigger was Miss Xiao Guang, who went to turn on the Main Breaker Switch," Conan said seriously, "If she knew this, she would blame herself for the rest of her life."
Shinde Yoko was stunned for a moment, and said blankly, "So you didn't expose that the initial Power Outage was a Disguise, just because..."
"Yes, we don't want Miss Xiao Guang to know about this, so I'm here to give you a suggestion. You can say that you used Medicine to drug Doctor Shinchide, then put him in the Bathtub, set up the Electric Wire with a Timer installed, electrocuted him to death, and used the Power Outage to recover the Timer. I hope you can accept this confession, that is to say, you committed the Murder during the first Power Outage. Of course, once the prosecution finds out that we asked you to give false evidence, we will not Break Away from the Relationship either," Conan sighed in Mori Kogoro's voice, "In this way, my idiot Disciple won't be troubled, right?"
"Disciple?" Shinde Yoko asked uncertainly, "Is it... Hassashi?"
"Yes, as a Disciple of a Famous Detective, his Reasoning Ability is not to be underestimated. He already knew who the Culprit was, but he hasn't said it, probably because he doesn't want to involve Miss Xiao Guang, and also hopes that you can Surrender..."
After Conan finished speaking, he put down the Bowtie Voice Changer and looked at the Rain Threads Outside the window.
With Chi Feichei's Keenness, he didn't believe that Chi Feichei hadn't noticed the Abnormality. Afterwards, not investigating or confirming should be because he had noticed the Truth.
And he had asked Chi Feichei, and Chi Feichei also defaulted that he knew the Culprit, and he didn't want to cover up the Culprit, and he firmly believed that crime could not escape Sanction. Thinking about it, there were only two Reasons—
One: Hope the Culprit can Surrender.
Two: Don't know how to separate Miss Xiao Guang.
Of course, it may also be that he doesn't want to care and doesn't say anything even if he sees through it. After all, this guy Chi Feichei has a previous record.
However, if Chi Feichei didn't want to care, he should have told him directly like at the Movie Theater and let him solve the case himself, instead of being silent when he asked.
Sigh, I didn't expect that guy to have times when he was in trouble, I almost didn't see it, you really can't judge a Human by their appearance...
Shinde Yoko was stunned for a long Time, came back to her senses, and sighed in a low voice, "Then do as Mr. Mouri suggested, although it's a bit strange for a Murderer to say this, but I still don't want everyone to hate me..."
Outside the Door, Shinde Tomoaki stood quietly, feeling extremely complicated. Putting aside the fact that his stepmother killed his Father, with the assistance of a sentimental Famous Detective, he once again doubted Zhi Ming Fukuyama's Judgment.
...
A few minutes later, Shinde Yoko secretly left with the Police.
Shinde Tomoaki found Mouri Ran, "Sorry for pulling you aside to talk."
"Don't say that..." Mouri Ran said quickly.
Shinde Tomoaki was a little ashamed. "To be honest, I have something I want to ask you to tell your Father..."
Around the Corner, Conan and Mori Kogoro poked their heads out to eavesdrop.
Conan imagined that Shinde Tomoaki wanted Mori Kogoro to marry Ran to him, and his Face changed drastically.
"Please tell him that what I said just now was too much," Shinde Tomoaki scratched his Head embarrassedly, "If there is anything I need to help with in the future, please feel free to ask! I don't want to look for him directly..."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait a minute! I know this is not the right Time, but if you don't mind..." Mouri Ran stopped Shinde Tomoaki who was about to leave, making Conan's Heart suddenly rise again, "I wonder if I could borrow this hand-knitted Sweater of yours for a few days? This Flower pattern is very special, and I don't know how to knit it, so I want to take a closer look..."
Sweater?
Conan immediately understood why Mouri Ran had been staring at Shinde Tomoaki before. Thinking about it again, Mouri Ran would borrow a boy's Sweater... Mentioning knitting a Sweater, could it be a winter Gift for him?
"Of course." Shinde Tomoaki agreed.
"Thank you so much," Mouri Ran thanked him, and hesitated for a moment, "Also... I want to ask about Brother Hassashi..."
Conan: "!"
Wait, who exactly is Ran knitting the Sweater for?
