"Because Sister Miyu has calluses on the inside of her palms just like Sister Xiaolan. These must be the marks left by holding weapons for a long time!" Conan said. "Little devil!" Mao Lilan's father came over and punched him on the head, saying unhappily, "Stop showing off your shallow detective knowledge in public!" After teaching Conan a lesson, he lifted his tie in front of his chest, shook his hair, and looked coquettish. "Ms. Hayashi Hayashi, I'm Maori Kogoro. Perhaps you've heard of me. Yes, I'm the famous detective who shocked the criminal investigation world - the sleeping Kogoro!" Lin Zaozhi blinked. "I'm sorry, I don't have much experience with detectives..." Kogoro Mori was a little disappointed that there were people in Tokyo who had never heard of his name, but he quickly cheered up, diligently pulled out a chair, and showed the spirit of host. Like a baboon in heat, Kogoro Mouri has been showing off his extensive knowledge in an attempt to attract the attention of Hayashi Hayashi and Sato Miwako. Since both Mao Lilan and Miyu are martial artists, they have common topics and their conversation becomes more and more heated.
Instead, Lin Yuansheng and Conan were left out. Lin Yuansheng was gnawing on the French lamb chops without any interest, while Conan tilted his head and stared at him curiously. "Would you like some?" Lin Yuansheng was always gentle with children. He cut off a piece of lamb chop and smiled kindly. Conan shook his head. "Is Brother Yuansheng an artist?" "No." “That must be from dance lessons!” "No." "Eh--" Conan lost confidence. He couldn't even figure out Lin Yuansheng's occupation. His temperament looked as gentle as jade, and his skin was exceptionally white and tender, without the acne and calluses that ordinary people would have. Lin Yuansheng took out a tissue and wiped the oil off his mouth. "I'm going to the bathroom." He found an excuse to escape from this environment that made him particularly uncomfortable. Just when he was thinking about finding an opportunity to contact Tsuchimiya Kagura after lunch to find out about the Killing Stone and Sanzu River and Hong, he was slightly stunned when he stepped into the bathroom, and his expression became solemn. ——The smell of blood. A faint smell of blood permeated the toilet. Although the smell was removed by the bathroom's own air purification system, it could not escape his sense of smell. Lin Yuansheng instinctively wanted to leave as he didn't want to get himself into trouble, but other guests had already come in behind him. "Sorry, please give way."
This guest seemed to be holding back a large bladder. He walked past Lin Yuansheng, quickly came to the toilet cubicle, and then reached out and opened the door. then, His face suddenly turned pale and he let out a long, shrill cry. "Death, dead people——" Chapter 74: Murder "Someone's dead—" A high-pitched howl came from the bathroom. Little Conan, who had been sitting obediently on the chair, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes. He quickly jumped off the chair and rushed to the bathroom. He arrived at the crime scene before the restaurant manager and waiter. "Brother Yuansheng." Conan first saw Lin Yuansheng standing aside with a strange expression on his face. Then I saw an ordinary male guest slumped on the ground, leaking unspeakable things. When he pinched his nose, walked around the indescribable object and looked at the open toilet cubicle, his face changed slightly. Inside the cubicle, on the toilet seat, was sitting a male corpse. The corpse had its head tilted back with a hideous expression, and it was obvious that it had been dead for some time. ... The search team that received the police call quickly rushed to the scene and cordoned off the restaurant. "Sato, why are you here too?" The team was led by Juzo Megure, Sato Miwako's boss. "I invited my friends to dinner here, and I didn't expect something like this to happen." Miwako Sato also looked helpless. Who could have imagined that a murder would happen while we were having a meal? Megure Juzo was originally full of pity, but when he saw that the person having dinner with her was Mouri Kogoro, he immediately understood. ....My goodness, dining with the god of death, if it doesn’t happen to you, who will? Sato is still young and doesn't know how terrifying brother Mori is. "You bastard, tell me the truth!" Not far away, Takagi Shigeka slammed the notebook shut and stared at Lin Yuansheng with a bad look. Lin Yuansheng was the second eyewitness and received special attention. And Takagi Shigeru never thought that he would see Lin Yuansheng again, not to mention that this guy was involved in a murder case again. What's more important is that this guy actually had dinner with his goddess!
I have never been treated like this! "What's wrong?" Megure Jusan walked over. He had a deep impression of Lin Yuansheng. This young man has deep ties with the Yakuza and is related to the previous unsolved Yakuza bombing case. "He refuses to cooperate honestly!" Takagi Shigeru was indignant. "What other cooperation do I need? I have already told you everything I know!" Lin Yuansheng said: "This police officer seems to have determined that I am the murderer and insists that I confess to the murder. Can I apply for a different police officer?" "Takagi!" Megure Jusan scolded. Takagi Shigeru lowered his head reluctantly. Megure Juzo took over the leadership and asked again, and Lin Yuansheng then repeated what he had said about finding a dead body in the toilet. There is nothing to hide. This is not his business in the first place. "The first witness mentioned that you were already in the bathroom before he entered it!" Takagi Wataru said. "It's true that I was in the bathroom before him, but does that prove that I killed someone?" Lin Yuansheng's tone became more and more impatient. He really wanted to cooperate with the police, but there were always fools who wanted to provoke him. "Brother Yuansheng went to the bathroom at 12:48 ., and the body was found at 12:53 ." "How could he kill a person in just six minutes?" Conan came over at some point and said innocently. Megure Jusan's expression eased slightly. ——Six-minute murder is really not a problem for me... Lin Yuansheng thought. He watched Conan following the investigating police officer around, as if he was also looking for some clues. "Officer Megure, leave this to me!" Kogoro Mori appears like a savior. Lin Yuansheng simply gave in. After all, he didn't kill the man, so he allowed himself to be investigated. Kogoro Mouri really lived up to his reputation as a famous detective. He carried out his reasoning in an orderly manner and brought together all the people related to the deceased. 'This uncle....' Conan's mouth twitched as he listened to Kogoro Mouri's reasoning. It was full of mistakes and omissions, and even the criminal made the wrong admission. In his opinion, this murder case was a typical case of choosing one out of three, and he had already found the most crucial evidence. He originally wanted to use an anesthetic needle to knock Mouri Kogoro unconscious and then conduct a classic reasoning segment of "Silent Mouri Kogoro", but he couldn't find an opportunity because Mouri Kogoro was surrounded by people and there was no space. In a hurry,
He could only choose Lin Yuansheng, who was defenseless and unnoticed at the moment. He opened the watch-shaped anesthetic needle and secretly aimed it at the back of Lin Yuansheng's neck. "Sorry." Conan apologized quietly and pressed the launch button. With a "whoosh" sound, the anesthetic needle stabbed towards Lin Yuansheng. At this moment, Lin Yuansheng, who was originally leaning on the sofa like a salted fish, suddenly jumped up nimbly and quickly grabbed the back of his head with his right hand. "Oops!" Conan's face changed. Lin Yuansheng slowly withdrew his hand. He frowned, looked at the anesthetic needle that liquefied into water in his palm, his face darkened slightly, and turned to look in the direction of the attacker. But he didn't see the attacker, he only saw Conan standing there with his hands behind his back, forcing a stiff smile at him. "The criminal is you!" Kogoro Mouri pointed at the restaurant manager, shook his hair, and proudly showed off his perfect reasoning. The restaurant manager was obviously dumbfounded. "It's not me! I really didn't kill anyone, you must have made a mistake!" "Humph! The evidence is irrefutable. Stop making excuses!" Kogoro Maori raised his chin. "Come back to the police station with us!" Megure Juzo led the police officers forward, handcuffed the restaurant manager, and was about to call it a day. Conan is going crazy. He really wanted to grab Inspector Megure's hand and slap Kogoro Mouri a few times. The murderer was laughing. How dare you still hold on to an innocent person? Are you still a human being? But he didn't dare to show off his uniqueness too much. If he really came out as "Edogawa Conan" to deduce the real murderer, it would be a big joke. Conan quickly tried to remedy the situation. "Ah, haha." He grabbed the police officer's clothes and said, "I don't think the manager is a criminal!" The manager nodded frantically. "What do you know, little brat!" Kogoro Mouri punched him on the head. "Conan, stop making trouble." Ran Mouri also pulled Conan back and apologized to the police officer. Conan roared in his heart: "The real murderer is not the manager, but the bartender!" He broke free from Sister Xiaolan's arms and found an opportunity to give Kogoro Mouri an anesthetic injection to put this murder case back on the right track.
"What are you doing?" Conan felt his collar being lifted up into the air. He turned his head blankly and met Lin Yuansheng's curious eyes. "Brother Gensei, can you put me down? I, I want to go to the bathroom." Conan twisted his body, trying his best to pretend that he couldn't hold it in, his face blushing with embarrassment.
