Stay away from Conan.

Because today is the school festival, in addition to the original students of Teitan High School, there are also many guests from outside who come to visit. Therefore, it is possible that a senior who has been promoted to a higher school will return to Teitan High School and meet Asakawa Tomori, and then be confessed to by Asakawa Tomori. In this case...

“That’s too much!”

  For a moment, after "Kudo Shinichi" said this, Sonoko on the side angrily rebuked:

"The senior who Yuri confessed to... Even if you don't want to accept Yuri's feelings, you don't have to push him down!"

With such a direct statement, it is obvious that Sonoko also concluded, because of what "Kudo Shinichi" said just now, that the whole thing was that Asakawa Tomori confessed his love to his "predecessor" on the platform above the gymnasium, but the other party not only did not appreciate it, but also pushed Asakawa Tomori down. This made Sonoko unable to forgive that guy.

As she said this, Sonoko also looked at Ran beside her:

"What do you think, Xiaolan?"

Faced with this question, Xiaolan was a little hesitant. She glanced at the "Kudo Shinichi" in front of her, then nodded slightly and responded.

  So, looking at Xiaolan's reaction and noticing the way she looked at Kudo Shinichi, Sonoko couldn't help but sigh and whispered:

"Don't think too much, Xiaolan, your husband is not that kind of person!"

After saying this as if jokingly, Sonoko turned the topic back to the incident.

"In that case, Shinichi, did you see anyone coming down the stairs after the incident?"

Sonoko asked "Kudo Shinichi".

At the same time, Inspector Megure had the same idea and looked at "Kudo Shinichi", wanting to ask about the situation.

  However, regarding this point, "Kudo Shinichi" could only feel troubled, shook his head helplessly, and replied:

"I'm sorry... I was too confused at the time, and I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't pay much attention to it..."

Hearing this, especially at this moment, Kudo Shinichi's voice became so unfamiliar due to a cold, Officer Megure had no choice but to give up. He felt that this was indeed too difficult for Kudo Shinichi, so he cared about "Kudo Shinichi" and asked him to pay attention to rest. Officer Megure did not ask any more questions. After all, in addition to Kudo Shinichi, there were also Takato, Mori and Hattori at the scene.

So, just like that, Officer Megure turned to Gao Yuan and the others and said:

"So now it seems that this incident may have been caused by an emotional entanglement. What do you think?"

So, Inspector Megure asked Takato and others for their opinions.

  In response, Gao Yuan, Conan, and Hattori Heiji looked at each other, and then Hattori Heiji stepped forward to explain:

"After the incident, we went to the upper platform and saw that it was surrounded by railings. Although we cannot completely rule out the possibility of an accident, by comparison, we think the possibility of a fall is very small, so it is very likely that someone pushed him down. Therefore, if..."

At this point, Hattori Heiji looked at "Kudo Shinichi", and although he was unhappy in his heart, he still said:

"If what Kudo heard was true, then the 'senpai' who was with the murdered girl at the time is very suspicious."

"Okay then! In that case, all eligible people in the gymnasium must be checked!"

  Upon hearing this, Officer Megure immediately gave the order:

"Check all the third-year students of Teitan High School who are currently in the gymnasium, or students who have graduated from Teitan High School! See who could be the 'senior' of the victim who was backstage at the time!"

As he said this, the police officer next to him was about to take orders and investigate everyone present.

However, with so many people in the entire gymnasium, it is unrealistic and unnecessary to check all of them. After all, if Asakawa Tomo was pushed down by someone, then the suspect should still be on the upper platform at the time of the incident. Even if the other party moved quickly and left immediately, no one left the backstage after the incident. Therefore, the only people who need to be investigated are those in the backstage. Therefore, after Gao Yuan said this to Inspector Megure, the scope of the investigation was narrowed down to the backstage.

In this case, Inspector Megure asked the police officers to interrogate all the people backstage first, and screen out the suspicious persons who met the criteria, so that the scope was greatly narrowed.

  In this way, watching the police begin to investigate the people behind the scenes, Yuanzi began to think about this matter at this moment. Because the victim was a classmate of hers, Yuanzi couldn't help but ask Xiaolan beside her in confusion:

"By the way, Xiaolan, have you ever heard that Youli likes a senior student?"

"Huh? No..."

After thinking carefully about Asakawa Tomoki, Xiaolan finally shook her head, but still said in an uncertain tone -

After all, although I have never heard of similar rumors, I am not a close friend of Asakawa Tomori, but just a classmate, so I can't be 100% sure.

"Um……"

  Conan, who was listening to this, was also thinking silently, and then said:

"Maybe I should ask a classmate who is familiar with Asakawa... Asakawa's friend... I remember..."

  As he was speaking, Xiao Ai beside him could not help but quietly remind him:

"Be careful, someone is watching."

After hearing this, Conan noticed that Sonoko and Xiaolan were actually looking at him, apparently because Conan himself almost said that he remembered who Asakawa Tomori's friend was.

  So Conan quickly shut up, thought for a moment, and went directly to "Kudo Shinichi" and said innocently:

"Brother Shinichi! Didn't you only hear one voice? Didn't you hear the other one?"

For a moment, seeing this impostor looking so leisurely, Conan couldn't help but want to feel disgusted and divert the attention of Xiaolan and the others.

In response, "Kudo Shinichi" looked at the child who came to find him and was inevitably a little annoyed. He didn't intend to pay attention to Conan, so Conan continued to ask, and in this way, "Kudo Shinichi" seemed a little helpless, and finally said impatiently:

"No, I only heard Asakawa's voice."

"You only heard one person's voice?"

At this time, seeing "Kudo Shinichi" saying this, Gao Yuan also came up and continued to wonder:

"So, Kudo-san, do you have any idea how long it took from the time you heard Asakawa Tomori say that to the time she fell from the sky?"

"I can't remember exactly, but it should have been some time."

When asked questions one after another, "Kudo Shinichi" answered with obvious displeasure.

  Seeing Kudo Shinichi's attitude, Sonoko felt something was a little strange, but couldn't tell what was wrong, so she said to Xiaolan:

"Hey, Xiaolan, do you think Shinichi is feeling very unwell because of his cold? Why don't you go and check on him? I noticed that you don't seem very happy after he came back."

  Xiaolan didn't know what to say. When she was hesitating about what to do, Gao Yuan spoke up:

"Perhaps... we thought too simply. What Kudo-san said just now was a bit misleading. Maybe things are not what we thought..." (End of this chapter)
