Stay away from Conan.

"How about it, am I right?"

Inside the apartment building, facing the square-faced man named Ogino, Kogoro Mori said this with great confidence.

Then, after seeing that Kogoro Mori actually accused Ogino of perjury, the other two of his former colleagues who also lived here, as well as Takagi Wataru, were all surprised by Kogoro Mori's words, and they all looked at Ogino.

However, Hondou Eisuke was not as surprised as they were. He seemed to be thinking about Maori Kogoro's reaction.

After all, this obviously does not fit the description of "Sleeping Kogoro".

At this time, Ogino, who was accused by Mori Kogoro, seemed extremely nervous. He even had sweat on his forehead, as if he was having a guilty reaction after being proven right by Mori Kogoro.

However, even so, after a moment of nervousness, Ogino still stubbornly asked back:
"Detective Mao, Maori...what are you talking about? You need evidence to say something like that..."

"Humph."

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro didn't want to get too entangled with the other party, so he just said:
"Now that we've come to this, do you still have any need to hold on? Not to mention the glass of beer as evidence, as long as the police are willing to investigate, they will definitely be able to detect the foreign objects you put in afterwards.

"But, if I really want to make inferences, I can now point out the key evidence.

"After all, the fact that we were going to check your room so soon was completely impulsive, so your trick of using the beer foam to prove that you had just left the room not long ago could not have been prepared in advance. So the only chance you had to take action was after you knew we were going to check your room.

"So once you understand that, think back to when you brought us to your place and when you showed us the beer, and what actions you took that might have given you the opportunity to come into contact with particles that would have allowed the beer to foam again.

"So, during this period of time, it can be said that the only opportunity for you to make such preparations is only one -

"That was when the kid came into your room, kicked your paper bag down, and you went over to pick it up.

"And because the three of you had this paper bag in your rooms, we asked you what it was, and you said you got it after attending someone else's funeral, so I thought it must contain salt for exorcism!
"As long as you take out the salt from the paper bag while it's being lifted up, hide it in your pocket, and then open the room with the beer mugs before we do and secretly put the salt in, you'll have completed your trick.

"Then I think it should still be on you now -

"The salt you used to make this false evidence!"

Kogoro Mori stated his reasoning in a decisive and serious manner, which made Ogino look as if he had given up and revealed a bitter expression.

"Even if we find this kind of evidence, it only means that you disguised yourself, and we can't directly link the fall to you. But since you have done this, it means that you must have something to hide in this matter. There must be clues left at the real scene of the incident. As long as the police conduct an in-depth investigation, they will definitely find evidence!"

At the end, Kogoro Mori added this sentence, which almost convinced everyone present that his words were very reasonable.

As a result, after facing such remarks, Takagi Wataru looked at Maori Kogoro with a shocked expression——

After all, the whole logic is too perfect. It is completely different from the reasoning that Kogoro Mori would make when he was sober.

Therefore, Takagi Shigeru couldn't help but turn to look at Ogino, wanting to know whether Kogoro Mori's reasoning this time was correct.

At the same time, Tsukihara, the woman who noticed the change in Ogino's reaction, and Sodezaki, the man with glasses, obviously realized that Kogoro Mori's reasoning was not nonsense, at least Ogino's reaction was not fake.

Therefore, facing this, Yueyuan seemed very unbelievable and said: "No way... Ogino, you..."

"Could it be that it is really you..."

Sodezaki looked puzzled and asked Ogino in return.

At this point, seeing that things have come to this point, Ogino seems unable to explain any more. After all, what Kogoro Mori said is right. If he has already been suspected, as long as the police conduct a serious investigation, they will definitely find something to prove that he is the culprit who pushed President Katsumoto downstairs.

Therefore, Ogino, with a bitter look on his face and a long sigh, also spoke frankly and admitted his crime.

"Yes, that's right, President Katsumoto, I saw him push it down the stairs."

In this way, the tone seemed very calm, and Ogino seemed to have accepted his fate as he said this.

As a result, after these words came out, Maori Kogoro and Takagi Wataru didn't feel anything, but Tsukihara and Sodezaki looked even more confused and asked back:

"Why... Ogino? Why are you doing this? The lawyer has already said that we have a good chance of winning the lawsuit against President Katsumoto!"

After they said this, Maori Kogoro, Takagi Wataru and the others were obviously a little confused.

"Wait a minute! A lawsuit? With President Katsumoto? What's going on? Aren't you employees of the publishing company? How come you have a dispute with that president?"

Takagi Shigeru couldn't help but wonder.

"But in this case, if there was a dispute with the deceased, then it makes sense that there was a motive for murder."

After thinking for a while, Kogoro Mori analyzed it this way.

As a result, in response to Maori Kogoro and the others' opinions, Tsukihara couldn't help but say seriously:
"That's not the case! It's a dispute, but it's far from the point of endangering the president's life. Besides, we just need to wait for the court's decision!"

"So...what exactly is going on?"

Takagi Wataru questioned.

"this matter……"

Regarding this question, Sodezaki thought about it and explained:
"You should all be more or less aware of the famous actress who committed suicide by jumping off a building last week."

"Ah, I know what you mean. Yumi talked to Officer Sato about this for quite a while... I remember that she committed suicide because the photo of her kissing her secret lover was published, right? It seems... Yes, the magazine that reported this is the one you mentioned..."

Takagi Shigeru seemed to recall something and continued.

"Yes, it's the magazine published by our publishing house, and... that report was written by us..."

Very sadly, Sodezaki responded... (End of this chapter)
