Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 2302 Hondou Eisuke's Question

Gao Yuan, who was in the crowd around him, did not get close to the center to try to see the specific appearance of the person who fell from the building. He just observed the development of the incident.

Noticing this, when Maori Kogoro used the deceased's cell phone to resend the last text message the deceased had sent to a group of people before his death, three people in the crowd received the text messages at the same time...

In Gao Yuan's eyes, this development of events seemed extremely familiar.

Not to mention, the common occurrence of three suspects among the crowd appearing around the crime scene is very consistent with the plot of the original work. More importantly, Gao Yuan is sure that he should have seen a similar original plot.

Therefore, it is very likely that this is something that happened in the original work, but the "sense of déjà vu" in front of him is not enough, and it is difficult to remember what kind of case it is for a while. So Gao Yuan thought about it and decided to observe it for a while. Maybe he can recall which incident in the original work this is.

Moreover, there is one more thing. If it is confirmed that this incident is a murder case, how will Kogoro Mori, who is already present at the scene, solve the case?

Conan is not at the scene now, and Hondou Eisuke is also here...

This Hondou Eisuke originally wanted to see the "sleeping Kogoro", but now, without Conan, he probably won't be able to see it...

Just as Gao Yuan in the crowd was thinking this, Maori Kogoro asked the three people who received the text message. The man with glasses responded with "him too" and then continued:

"If the person who fell from the building is the one who sent us a text message just now, then... the person who fell from the building is President Katsumoto, right?"

"President Katsumoto?"

Hearing this name, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but wonder:

"Is this person your president?"

As he said this, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but look up at the building next to the scene. It was clearly an apartment.

Also, from what they said just now, they should live here, right?

"You... the president and employees of the same company all live here?"

Thus, Maori Kogoro analyzed the current situation, and at the same time, some thoughts emerged in his mind -

For example, some so-called corporate companies hidden in residential apartments are actually engaged in illegal activities such as developing downline personnel.

"What kind of work are you doing?"

Therefore, Kogoro Mori couldn't help but ask this question.

In response to this question from Kogoro Mouri, although they responded nervously to Kogoro Mouri's question at first because they suddenly received a text message which exposed the information that the three of them knew the person who fell from the building, but now as the matter became clear and they knew that it was the president of their company who fell from the building, they began to slowly sort out their thoughts. The three of them calmed down and no longer cooperated with Kogoro Mouri.

So, starting with that woman, she first asked Maori Kogoro a question -

"Wait a minute? Who are you and why are you asking us this?"

Obviously, at this point, they didn't want to get too involved with President Katsumoto's fall, especially when facing this unidentified man with a mustache in front of them.

In this regard, the other two also followed suit, especially when Maori Kogoro started talking about the matter of taking the deceased's cell phone, he questioned:

"Yeah, who are you? Why did you take the president's phone?"

As these people asked questions, the crowd on the side also began to point fingers at Maori Kogoro's actions just now. Obviously, they were a little disgusted that Maori Kogoro, an unknown passerby, directly touched the belongings of the deceased who fell from the building. In response to this, Maori Kogoro did not seem surprised by such questions. Instead, he acted as if he understood it. He smiled proudly and confidently, and straightened his suit collar, explaining:
"I am... the famous detective, Maori Kogoro."

"what!"

"Maori Kogoro!"

Immediately, after hearing Maori Kogoro's identity, the expressions of the people present, including the three people who knew the deceased, changed suddenly. They were originally questioning the other party's behavior, but now that the other party is a well-known detective, then...

It would seem a bit bad to continue not cooperating with the other party at this time.

So, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other, and the square-faced man said nervously:
"So, it's Mr. Maori Kogoro... Haha, I've heard a lot about you...

"Well, well...about the president and the company...

"This person is Mr. Katsumoto Daisaku, the president and editor-in-chief of Katsumoto Publishing... Mr. Mori, you know the 'Weekly Great' whose sales have increased significantly recently, right?"

"Well, I've seen this. It's a gossip magazine about celebrities."

After all, as a fan of Yoko Okino, Maori Kogoro would buy and read related weekly works, so he naturally knew some of them:
"So, you're all employees of the publishing house? And yet you all live here?"

After learning that the other party's work was not as problematic as he had imagined, Kogoro Mori couldn't help but ask why they were all here.

"Yes...but it's just a coincidence, because this place is very close to the company."

So, the woman responded to this question.

The square-faced man added:
"Actually, I'm planning to find a house to move to recently. After all, I've resigned from the publishing house and am no longer a member of it."

"However, we live on the third floor, and the president lives on the twenty-sixth floor."

The man with glasses then talked about their living conditions in the apartment.

In response to this, upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but look up at the apartment building in front of him -

"The 26th floor? If you fall from such a high place, you will definitely not survive..."

Maori Kogoro murmured, looking at the old man's body lying on the ground in a pool of blood, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said:
"Okay, when the police come, you may have to cooperate with them to make a statement, but it seems that this should be an ordinary accidental fall from a building..."

"Mr. Mori!"

However, just when Maori Kogoro felt that the fall was an accident, Hondou Eisuke came up to him and asked him:

"Do you think this was an accident? Is this how the sleeping Kogoro treats the incident?"

——"Indeed, this is not an accident... and finally I remembered which incident in the original work this was..."

At this moment, Gao Yuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but think so... (End of this chapter)
