Stay away from Conan.

Just now, when Gao Yuan went to the backstage, he happened to meet Aida Tomoaki who came over.

So, knowing that the other party's true identity was actually Vermouth, and thinking that there was someone else impersonating Kudo Shinichi, and might even have to perform on stage and expose the fact that "Kudo Shinichi is still alive" in front of a large audience, Gao Yuan did not mention the issue of "Kudo Shinichi's" identity on the surface, but told the "school doctor" the fact that "Kudo Shinichi" had a cold and a hoarse throat, and expressed his concern that if "Kudo Shinichi" in such a physical condition went on stage, there might be problems.

As expected, after hearing what Gao Yuan said, "Tomoaki Shinide" went to the dressing room where "Shinichi Kudo" was, and persuaded "Shinichi Kudo" not to force himself to go on stage because of the other party's physical condition.

So, facing the school doctor's serious advice, although "Kudo Shinichi" met "Niide Tomoaki" for the first time, he finally listened to "Niide Tomoaki".

As for the performance, in order to make up for the regret of Kudo Shinichi not performing, Niide Tomoaki was persuaded by Takato and Sonoko, and had no choice but to take over the role of the "Black Knight" and choose to perform.

So, things became like this -

Tomoaki Aride appeared on the stage wearing the costume of the "Black Knight", and because there were no lines during the performance, until he unveiled himself, Xiaolan, Conan and others did not realize who was performing on the stage.

As for "Kudo Shinichi", because of the cold, he was persuaded by Aida Tomoaki to rest in the backstage, which led to what Gao Yuan said -

His location at that time was right on the path leading to the stairs on the platform above the gymnasium, so what Gao Yuan asked was actually reasonable.

After all, normally speaking, with Kudo Shinichi's observation ability, he should have noticed something about this matter -

The girl fell from above the gymnasium stage, and the place above her that people could walk up was on that platform. The place where "Kudo Shinichi" was resting at that time was on the only way to the stairs that lead to the platform.

Therefore, there was absolutely no problem for Gao Yuan to ask him at this time—

Of course, Gao Yuan chose to ask this question because he actually wanted him to reveal his flaws. After all, he is not the real Kudo Shinichi.

Just now, in the dressing room, Gao Yuan had tried to test that he was not wearing a mask on his face, but a real face. Therefore, to prove that this "Kudo Shinichi" was not the real Kudo Shinichi, it would not be as easy as directly revealing the mask.

After all, in front of so many people, it is impossible to directly say that he is not the real Kudo Shinichi. Although I don't know why the person in front of me has a face of Kudo Shinichi, in this case, to prove that he is not Kudo Shinichi, some other means are needed.

Anyway, now that the police are here, we'll play with you and see what your intentions are...

So, after Gao Yuan said those words to "Kudo Shinichi", he pretended to be hopeful and waited for the other party's answer. And sure enough, because of Gao Yuan's words, Inspector Megure and others also looked at "Kudo Shinichi" expectantly, believing that he would be able to give a satisfactory answer.

Surrounded by so many people, expecting him to tell them what he had just observed, Kudo Shinichi was a little embarrassed for a moment, as if he didn't know how to deal with such a situation.

Therefore, Conan, Ai, Hattori Heiji and others who noticed the reaction of "Kudo Shinichi" and knew the truth about Kudo Shinichi's identity, looked at Gao Yuan's actions and forcing this impostor to this situation, and couldn't help but be a little concerned. They wanted to see what this person who pretended to be Kudo Shinichi could say.

"I...this...that girl..."

Seeing everyone staring at him seriously, "Kudo Shinichi" spoke in a slurred and hoarse voice, stumbling, his thoughts in a mess, not knowing what to say.

  However, before Kudo Shinichi could answer first, Sonoko at the side could not help but step forward and question Kudo Shinichi, who seemed to be very depressed because the girl who fell was a classmate of hers.

"Shinichi! Come on, tell me! Youli is a classmate of ours! Why did she fall from up there? Did you see anything?" Listening to Sonoko's words, "Kudo Shinichi" hesitated a little -

"Students from our class?"

In a very soft voice, Kudo Shinichi murmured the word again, and then he seemed to realize something and said:

"Tomo... Tomo! Oh... By the way, I think I heard Tomo's voice coming from upstairs when I was taking a break. She seemed to be talking to someone...

"However, because I was not feeling well at the time, I didn't take it too seriously. I just remembered it now..."

"Kudo Shinichi" answered with a hoarse voice.

What he said immediately caught the attention of Officer Megure and the others, so they quickly asked:

"Really? Kudo! Did you hear who she was talking to and what she was talking about?"

In this way, Inspector Megure approached "Kudo Shinichi", eager to get an answer:

"Or... have you figured out the truth of this matter?"

Out of trust in Kudo Shinichi's ability, and since it seems that Kudo Shinichi is the only one who has the clues at the moment, Inspector Megure has reason to believe that Kudo Shinichi can directly investigate something based on these clues.

However, facing Inspector Megure's attitude, "Kudo Shinichi" himself was embarrassed:

"Well... I'm sorry, Officer Megure... I'm really not feeling well, so I can only try my best to recall what Tomoki-san said..."

  As he said this, Kudo Shinichi tried to recall the vague memory from before and said:

"At that time, I heard Tomoki-san talking to someone on the stairs.

"'Senior, we are about to separate. I love you very much and want to be with you forever. Is that okay?'

"It seems like she is confessing to someone..."

As a result, as soon as these words came out, an unexpected clue appeared, which surprised everyone present. They didn't expect that this faker actually heard some useful clues...

Gao Yuan and the others thought so, and at the same time, the word "senior" in his words narrowed down the scope of the suspect.

If Asakawa Tomouri was pushed down from above, then it is very likely that the criminal was Asakawa Tomouri's predecessor.

Asakawa Tomori is a sophomore in the same class as Xiaolan and the others, so the one who can be called "senior" should be a senior in the third year of high school, or... (End of this chapter)
