Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1637 Collapse

"It happened a year ago in Higashi-Okui Village. A robber broke into the village chief's house, killed him and his wife, and then took away their belongings and fled. Afterwards, Kudo Shinichi made an idiotic inference about the incident.

"suicide!

"Kudo Shinichi's conclusion on this incident is that the village chief forced his wife to commit suicide with him!

"You are, anyone who hears this kind of reasoning would think it's a joke! Besides, there was no murder weapon at the scene, and the property was indeed lost! But Kudo Shinichi completely ignored these clues that can be seen at a glance, and directly said such a brainless reasoning...

“As a result, you, the police, actually believed him and closed the case!

"Tell me what you think, if this isn't idiotic reasoning, then what is it? Not only did Kudo Shinichi fail to find the culprit in the case, he also defamed the reputation of the dead village chief! Such a person is still called the 'savior of the Japanese police' by you! This is completely ridiculous!"

On this stage, facing so many audiences, this imposter who had plastic surgery to look like Kudo Arata, took the microphone for the performance and spoke his thoughts directly in a confident tone.

As a result, as he narrated the story and roughly understood what had happened, the audience couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations and discussions.

Indeed, judging only by what he said, it is completely correct to say that Kudo Shinichi's reasoning is "idiotic reasoning".

After all, regardless of other reasons, the conclusion that "the village chief forced his wife to commit suicide with him" alone sounds outrageous no matter how you listen to it. But this person with the face of Kudo Shinichi, the high school detective Kudo Shinichi, actually gave such an inference, and the police accepted it.

For some people who didn't know much about Kudo Shinichi, this result was like hearing big news. They had no idea how the so-called famous high school detective and "savior of the Japanese police" could solve the case. So his reputation and the ability of the Japanese police had to be questioned.

Of course, there are also many of Kudo Shinichi's classmates among them, and they have a certain understanding of Kudo Shinichi, so when it comes to the remarks of this impostor, they intuitively feel that what he said must be wrong and may be slandering Kudo Shinichi.

But no matter what, the atmosphere at the scene has become lively. It will not be long before what happened in the gymnasium of Teitan High School will spread and let more people know.

After all, there were many people at the scene, and no one could guarantee that no one present would immediately disclose the matter via mobile phone.

In such a situation, even Shuichi Akai, who was in the audience and had come here for other purposes, couldn't help but feel some interest in this matter. However, he vaguely felt that what the man on the stage said must not be the whole truth.

  So, leaving aside the situation in the audience, on the stage, Inspector Megure was already having a headache watching the movements of the audience as the impostor in front of him spoke, not to mention the situation he was describing. What should he do?

Inspector Megure could only look at Gao Yuan. After all, it was Gao Yuan who agreed to this matter, so he should have some ideas.

Obviously, Conan, as an eyewitness, had immediately remembered what happened after listening to the man's story.

A year ago in Dong Aosu Village, the incident in which the village chief and his wife were murdered?

That incident...

Indeed, in order to prevent the village chief from revealing what he wanted to conceal, he did choose this explanation. However, he had already told the police the real truth and asked them to tell several relevant personnel. But how could he...

  Who is this guy?

Are they villagers who don't know the truth? Why would they do such an extreme thing? Even if they have doubts about their own reasoning, there is no need to go to such lengths, right? No...

No, he is not an ordinary villager. Judging from his reaction just now, he must have a close connection with the village chief, otherwise he would not do this.

So this person...

Thinking of this, Conan already had an idea, but due to the current situation, he could not use Conan's identity to explain the matter, so subconsciously, Conan wanted to slip away, and prepared to use his mobile phone and voice changer to call Inspector Megure to deal with the matter in disguise.

However, before Conan could take any action, he was stopped by Xiao Ai beside him.

"Are you crazy, Edogawa! Even if you don't show up in person, as long as you use your phone to contact or simply ask someone to convey the message, you have undoubtedly revealed a message to the outside world, that is, Kudo Shinichi is still alive! If there were no outsiders here, it might be okay for you to do this, but look carefully, there are so many spectators at the scene, and this person intends to make the matter known to everyone. How many people will know that Kudo Shinichi is still alive by then, and how this news will eventually spread, have you ever considered it?"

Seeing that Conan was ignoring other approaches in order to deal with the situation, Ai couldn't help but reprimand him in a low but stern voice.

In this regard, Conan could not help but remain silent, but he couldn't stand the current situation. Could it be that he just let this matter continue to develop?

"Don't worry, trust Gao Yuan. Since he agreed to let this person tell the truth in front of everyone, he will definitely think of a good solution."

Looking at Conan's reaction, Xiao Ai advised him based on her understanding of Gao Yuan.

Just like that, just as Conan was half-believing and half-doubting, and Hattori Heiji was looking for an opportunity to secretly ask Conan about the situation so that he could help with the next move, Gao Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally spoke:

"I see... You are the adopted son of the village chief, right? It turns out that you don't know the truth of the incident... In fact, as long as you read the police files, you will know the truth of the whole incident. What you said was actually a lie deliberately told by Kudo Shinichi to help the village chief conceal something. What a pity..."

Gao Yuan shook his head with a slight look of regret:

"But, no matter what, even if it is said to the public, the fact that the village chief committed suicide is not false. What do you think? Do you want to listen to me tell the truth about this incident here and let everyone present know about it, or go back with the police and let them personally retrieve the files for you to see?"

"How is it possible... You are lying! How is this possible! How could the village chief commit suicide! You are also protecting Kudo Shinichi! The criminal's shoes and murder weapon, his wife's jewels and the expensive Nio statue are all gone! And although the village chief has cancer, it is benign. What reason does he have to commit suicide?"

Unable to accept Gao Yuan's words, nor considering the suggestions given by Gao Yuan, the person in front of him screamed at Gao Yuan hysterically, almost breaking down emotionally.

  Seeing this, Gao Yuan was silent, knowing that he could not calm down, so he stopped thinking about it and continued:

"Well, I will answer them one by one..."
