Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1387 The murderer is you!

In the backstage lounge of the studio, director Furuli Sanpei announced the unsolved case that would be discussed in this episode.

However, this time the investigation is not only about the murderer who "killed" the rich girl, but also the murderer who killed the maid half a year later.

"Are you kidding me?"

After hearing what Furuguri Sanpei announced, Tokatsu Junya's mouth trembled and the forced smile on his face was uglier than crying.

"Didn't the maid commit suicide?"

"What else is there to discuss?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the soul detective Kaito Hotta who was standing opposite him suddenly raised his arms to both sides and made an unfathomable posture.

"I can feel it……"

"I felt the soul of that maid!"

"She is resentful... resentful... a man..."

"The murderer should be a man!"

Although Kaito Horida's expression was stiff, his tone, which was sometimes passionate and sometimes gloomy, seemed as if he really sensed something, which scared people.

Upon seeing this, Kouri Sanpei immediately clapped his hands and cheered, "Great! It seems that Mr. Horita has sensed something!"

"Is there no problem with Mr. Jin? We can express different opinions when we go on stage later..."

Shi Jinjunya thought for two seconds and nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's do this for now. You two can make some preparations. I'll go to the studio first to take a look..."

"Excuse me."

Gu Li Sanping turned and left the lounge.

And Tokatsu Junya narrowed his eyes and looked at Horida Kaito who turned around and continued to put on makeup, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

  This old charlatan!

If it wasn't a rare opportunity to be on a TV show, I would never be on the same stage with such a low-class guy!

Hmm, okay...

I will expose your deception completely in front of the whole nation later.

The corner of Tokatsu Junya's mouth twitched slightly, and then he sat down in front of the dressing table on the other side opposite Horida Kaito, waiting for the makeup artist to come.

After a while, the makeup artist finished doing makeup for Kaito Horita and came over with a box to do makeup for Junya Tokitsu.

At this time, Tokitsu Junya was holding his mobile phone in both hands, searching for information about the "Lavender Villa Murder Case" on the Internet.

At this moment, he had some doubts in his heart that needed to be resolved.

Why did the TV director choose this case to discuss as a “cold case”?

Although the maid could not be identified as the murderer due to lack of conclusive evidence and the fact that there was no one to testify against her, the local media and the public all acknowledged that the maid committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Now the director suddenly mentioned this case and chose himself as a guest on the show.

Could it be that the fact that I was the detective who solved the case at that time has been exposed on the Internet?

Tokatsu Junya quickly browsed through the relevant reports on the "Lavender Villa Case", but none of them mentioned him.

That's strange...

Just as Junya Tsutomu was secretly puzzled by the report of the case at that time, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his scalp.

"Bah..."

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Tokatsu Junya covered a piece of scalp on the top of his head and turned angrily to look at the makeup artist behind him.

Because the makeup artist pulled his hair when combing his hair.

"sorry!"

"I am so sorry!"

The makeup artist quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

It was not until then that Tokatsu Junya noticed the makeup artist's appearance. She was a beautiful girl with short brown hair and a pair of dark glasses, and she was very fashionable.

But when he looked at this face, he felt as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Eh? I think I've seen you somewhere before?"

"Really? But I have no impression of you at all..."

The makeup artist's blunt words extinguished Tokatsu Junya's self-righteous illusion.

Tokatsu Junya turned his head and said without further questioning, "You don't need to take care of your hair. I combed it before coming here."

"Just put some makeup on other parts..."

"Yes."

The makeup artist responded in a low voice.

……

Twenty minutes later, director Gu Li Sanpei returned.

"Have you two finished your makeup?"

"Our program this time focuses on authenticity, so we won't rehearse in advance and will just go straight to the actual filming."

"Next, let me tell you about the process of this episode..."

Furuguri Sanpei gathered Tokitsu Junya and Horita Kaito together and explained the process in front of the plan.

This program is in debate mode, and the topic is of course the murderer of the "Lavender Villa Case".

One party expresses its opinion first, and then the other party expresses its opinion.

The two sides debated based on each other's views, and the winner was ultimately determined by the proportion of support from the audience.

"You two, did you hear clearly?"

Kaito Horita: “I understand…”

Shi Jinjunya: "I understand."

Gu Li Canping nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then the next step is to decide who will express their views first..."

"Let's decide by flipping a coin. That's fairer."

As soon as Furuguri Sanpei finished speaking, Tokitsu Junya smiled and shook his head.

"No need. Let's give this opportunity to the person opposite us."

"I just need to stand at the back..."

Furu Sanpei turned to look at Horida Kaito, "Then Mr. Horida..."

Horita Kaito's Indian face remained stiff as he replied, "Sure."

Seeing that Kaito Horida agreed without hesitation, Junya Tokitsu couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

He gave the opportunity to express his opinion first to Kaito Horida, of course not to let the other party "take the lead", but to strike back himself.

Moreover, this case was solved by myself. If I were to talk about it first, I might be able to add some details that the outside world doesn't know.

If Kaito Horida changes his opinion temporarily based on these contents at that time, there will be no way to embarrass him completely.

"Okay, the studio is ready, please follow me."

Gu Li Sanping led the two out of the lounge and came to the studio next door.

Inside the studio, the lighting and stage have been set up.

Tokatsu Junya looked around. The studio was not very large, but the stage layout was more luxurious than he had imagined.

This was my first TV show, and the conditions were much better than I expected...

Just as Junya Tsutomu was observing the studio environment, he saw the female host standing on the stage and talking to the staff.

It turned out to be Rena Mizunashi!

Although he was born in Hokkaido, Junya Tokatsu also knew that Rena Mizunashi was currently one of the signature female hosts of Nichimi TV.

Rena Mizunashi's hosting style is different from that of another signature host, Yoko Okino, who has a cute hosting style. Her hosting style is mainly capable and sharp, so she often hosts programs on hot social topics.

The host turned out to be that Mizunashi Reina, it seems that the TV station attaches great importance to this program...

  Maybe I can become famous overnight and become a real famous detective!

Tokitsu Junya has always hoped to become a famous detective. In the current detective world, high school detectives are actually at the bottom of the contempt chain of all detectives.

The high school detective is a nice gimmick, but it's actually not unusual at all.

Anyway, bragging is not against the law, and any high school student can say that he is an amateur detective.

Coupled with the age disadvantage of being a minor, the high school detective gives people an extremely immature feeling from the first impression.

Therefore, Tokatsu Junya worked desperately to solve the case, trying to send every prisoner to prison, and even wrote down the number of cases he handled as his resume.

So far, the only high school detective who can be called a "famous detective" is Kudo Shinichi, who is known as the "savior of the Japanese police."

However, in Tokitsu Junya's eyes, Kudo Shinichi only became famous quickly because of his father's halo as a famous mystery writer and because he was born in Tokyo, where many crimes occur.

It is even possible that Kudo Shinichi's level is not up to par, and it is his father Kudo Yusaku who is solving the case for him.

But no matter what, now that Kudo Shinichi has suddenly disappeared, the seat of the high school student detective has become vacant.

This throne that has been vacant for a long time is finally my turn!

Thinking of this, Tokatsu Junya's mouth corners couldn't help but slightly rise. He imagined himself being interviewed by the media after becoming famous and looking radiant under the spotlight.

Just then, Kouri Sanpei came over with Mizunashi Rena.

"You two, this is the host of this show, Ms. Rena Mizunashi."

Mizuno Reina nodded slightly and greeted them indifferently, "Hello, both of you."

"Hello, Miss Mizuno..."

Tokatsu Junya raised his hand to lift his hair and was about to reach out to shake hands with Mizunashi Rena, but the latter had already turned around and walked back to the stage.

This embarrassing scene made Shi Jin Runya stunned. His little hands, which had nowhere to put, could only rub them alone in loneliness.

Guli Sanpei also said with a smile: "You two should hurry up and get on stage, the show will start soon."

Under the guidance of Sanpei Furuguri, Junya Tokitsu and Kaito Horita walked up the stairs on the side of the stage.

The stage setting was made of a plastic board with the words "Unsolved Case Revealed" written in large letters.

The stage is similar to a regular debate venue, divided into left and right sides, with the host's position in the middle.

Under the guidance of the staff, Junya Tokitsu stood in his own position.

Only then did he see that the relatively dark area opposite the stage was the audience area.

There are 5 rows of auditorium, 10 people in each row, which adds up to 50 people.

At this time, the auditorium was already full of people, and all eyes were focused on the stage.

It was the first time for Tokatsu Junya to encounter such an occasion, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, his heart pounding.

Especially in the middle of the first row, he saw a familiar face.

That is……

  It turned out to be the famous detective Qin Zhibo!

Tokatsu Junya narrowed his eyes slightly and confirmed it again.

Sure enough, it was indeed him...

Although this person rarely appears in public media, his popularity is slightly lower than that of "Sleeping Kogoro Mori".

But as long as you carefully look through the two people's investigative records, you will know that in terms of reasoning ability alone, Qin Zhibo is definitely superior to Maori Kogoro.

I didn’t expect the program crew to invite a detective of this level to be an audience member.

I guess when it comes time for the audience to vote to decide the winner, Qin Zhibo's stance will definitely influence the majority of the audience.

It seems I have to pay more attention to it...

Tokitsu Junya secretly cheered himself up in his heart, while glancing at the dull-looking Kaito Horida sitting opposite him.

Humph, I will definitely win against you...

Be my stepping stone, soul detective.

……

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

"action!"

As Koguri Sanpei finished speaking, the camera quickly focused on Mizunashi Rena on the stage.

"Hello, dear audience friends, welcome to watch Japan's only detective program 'Unsolved Cases Uncovered'. I am the host of this special program, Rena Mizunashi."

"This program focuses on solving unsolved cases that happened in the past. We use the perspective of a famous detective to help everyone recover the truth of the case. We also welcome viewers from all over the country to send us unsolved difficult cases. We will reveal the answers one by one..."

After an opening speech that mainly introduced the concept of the show, Rena Mizunashi began to introduce the detective.

"The detective guests today are Mr. Kaito Hotta, who is known as the 'soul detective'..."

The camera focused on Kaito Horita's dull face.

Kaito Horida nodded towards the camera as a greeting.

"And the high school detective from Hokkaido, Mr. Junya Tokitsu."

The camera was turned to Tokatsu Junya, who responded with a polite smile.

"Okay, then let's move on to today's case..."

"The case we are going to discuss today is the 'Lavender Villa Murder Case' which happened on Shikoku Island one year ago."

"Let's follow the short video to understand the case."

A short film began to play on the projection screen on the right side of the stage.

In the short film, a villa full of lavender is very eye-catching.

The narrator introduced that the owner of the villa was a wealthy local man.

Because the rich man's daughter likes lavender, she planted a lot of lavender around the villa...

As Tokitsu Junya watched the contents of the video, a confident smile appeared on his face.

No one has more say than him about the Lavender Villa case.

Therefore, he recognized that the lavender villa in the short film was not the one where the crime occurred, but an ordinary villa with CG added later.

However, this film is sufficient to explain the case to people who are not aware of it.

"..."

"Because the daughter's parents were too sad after losing their daughter, they left Shikoku Island and handed the villa over to the servants to take care of it."

"But who would have thought that half a year later, the maid of Lavender Villa also committed suicide by jumping into the sea from a cliff near the villa..."

“Is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality that is behind all this?”

"What is the truth behind this series of cases? Who should be held responsible for this?"

"Let's get into the detective decryption part..."

The lights in the studio suddenly changed, and the front of the stage lit up again.

Mizunashi Rena stood in the center of the stage and said in a serious tone, "Then according to the order of speeches decided in advance, Mr. Kaito Hotta will speak first."

"Please tell us your opinion, Mr. Horita..."

The camera is focused on Kaito Hotta.

At this time, Kaito Horida had opened his hands, his eyes wide open, and he looked like a weird being possessed by a god.

"I can feel it……"

"Yes, the maid has possessed me and told me the truth..."

"The murderer is a detective..."

"A high school detective..."

Suddenly, Kaito Hotta pointed his finger at Junya Tokitsu who was sitting opposite him and shouted.

"You are the murderer!"

"Tokitsune Junya!"
