Chapter 1630 Suspect?

"Misleading? Well, what do you think, wise brother?"

After hearing Gao Yuan's words, Officer Megure couldn't help but ask with concern.

In response, Gao Yuan said:

"Normally, if Asakawa-san was confessing to someone, then there should be a response, whether the other party refused or agreed. But Kudo-san said that he didn't hear any sound from behind.

  "So, if, as we just assumed, Asakawa confessed to a senior and was pushed down by him, then what Kudo said about not hearing any other noises and then Asakawa falling down after a while seems a bit strange, doesn't it?

"Normally, if someone pushed someone down, it would be obvious that the two sides had completely stopped talking and acted irrationally in anger. To cause such a disagreement, the two sides should have argued over it. How is it possible that nothing was heard afterwards?"

"Hmm... Brother Akechi, what you mean is that normally, after hearing a girl's confession, the other party should at least respond. But Kudo didn't hear anything afterwards. This is obviously not normal, right?"

  After thinking about Gao Yuan's words for a while, Officer Megure felt that there was some truth in them. However, it seemed that Kudo Shinichi would not lie, so Officer Megure felt that the situation should be as Kudo Shinichi said, so he subconsciously asked Gao Yuan:

"So, wise brother, why do you think this happened?"

  So, hearing that Inspector Megure did not doubt Kudo Shinichi's attitude, Gao Yuan also expected it, so he was about to continue speaking, but Maori Kogoro on the side continued what he said:

"Maybe... that Asakawa wasn't confessing to anyone, but it's possible that she was the only one up there from the beginning to the end!"

"What do you mean, Maori brother?"

It was a bit unexpected. He didn't expect Kogoro Mouri to say something shocking, which made Inspector Megure ask with some concern.

  At the same time, other people present looked at Kogoro Mori in surprise, somewhat confused as to why he said that. Was there any reason?

In this way, Maori Kogoro, who seemed very proud, made a unique analysis of the matter:

"Obviously, the incident happened behind the stage. Most of the students behind the stage are going to participate in today's performance, so this girl named Asakawa is no exception. And in places like the backstage, it is normal for actors to rehearse their lines before going on stage, right?

"So, since the detective only heard the girl's confession and no one else responded, this means that she was not confessing to anyone, but was practicing her lines alone, so naturally no one would respond to her confession.

"So, the only person on top from the beginning to the end was this girl, and her falling down was totally an accident!"

In this way, Kogoro Mori expressed his thoughts and directly characterized the incident as an accident.

  In response to this, Hattori Heiji on the side could not help but say with an indifferent expression:

"Hey, uncle, didn't I tell you? There are railings up there, so normally you won't fall down from there! Your idea..."

"It's just normal, but it doesn't mean it's completely impossible, right?"

Kogoro Mori continued, further defending his statement with a confident look on his face.

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji was speechless, but seeing that Kogoro Mori insisted on saying so, he found it difficult to continue the conversation. After all, no one could deny the existence of this possibility.

Therefore, for the moment, regarding this matter, Hattori Heiji had no choice but to look at Gao Yuan, not knowing what Gao Yuan wanted to say. At the same time, Conan also joined in this silent eye contact - because they all knew that the current direction of the investigation came from the one-sided statement of this fake "Kudo Shinichi", and no one else could prove the authenticity of what he said. Therefore, even if it is assumed that he did hear what the fallen Asakawa said at the time, but there was no follow-up content, compared to what Maori Kogoro said that he was rehearsing the lines alone, Conan and others were more suspicious that the fake was not staying in that place all the time, so he did not hear the follow-up content.

  After all, what is the purpose of this impostor? It is definitely not as simple as impersonating Kudo Shinichi!

In particular, when he was asked not to continue performing, he actually agreed readily. So why didn't he refuse from the beginning?

Therefore, what Gao Yuan, Conan, Hattori and others are facing are actually two incidents:

What is the purpose of the person impersonating Kudo Shinichi, and why did Asakawa fall from above.

Furthermore, it is still unclear whether there is any connection between the two.

Therefore, Conan and Hattori Heiji understood that Gao Yuan's initial approach was to start from the identity of the counterfeit and expose the counterfeit's affairs, but he did not expect that the other party actually gave an explanation, causing things to come to this point.

  So, just as Gao Yuan and the others were thinking about what to do next, Sonoko refuted what Maori Kogoro said:

"No! Uncle Maori, Youli is a classmate of ours. Not to mention that she has no role in our class's performance this time, even in my script, there is no such line at all. How could Youli be practicing her lines there?"

In this way, Sonoko directly pointed out a flaw in Maori Kogoro's words, which made Maori Kogoro a little depressed, but then Maori Kogoro thought of another explanation and said:

"Then... of course it wasn't your class's performance! She was... participating in another class's performance! Yes, that's right! That must be it!"

As he said this, Kogoro Mori tried to make amends.

However, regarding this statement...

Soon, after Gao Yuan's inquiries, the classes that were preparing for the performance backstage today learned that no such lines appeared in any of the performances, which once again proved that Kogoro Mouri's words were unreliable.

In this case, Maori Kogoro still didn't want to give up, and he was very stubborn, and finally gave another explanation:

"Then... maybe they are rehearsing for some other performance..."

As a result, because the more he talked, the less reliable it became, even Inspector Megure lost confidence in Kogoro Mori, so he shook his head helplessly and went to look for suspects who met the requirements according to his original idea. At this time, three suspects who met the requirements had been found and brought to Inspector Megure.

Therefore, since there is a suspect, the necessary investigation must be carried out. In this way, the questioning of the three people began...
