Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"It's obvious that you guys are over-judging Miss 24. There must be something we need to pay attention to."

Hagiwara Chisu put his hands on his hips and looked back and forth between the three people's faces.

"Just in case, please describe what you did after you came out of the room."

Kudo Yuji did not favor the otaku just because he was his fan. Instead, he let him tell the story first.

"I came out of the room and went back to the lobby. I heard from other guests that there would be exquisite dishes, so I went to eat."

Yoshimoto Maru raised his finger and said, "Then, while I was eating, I met a few friends who are also comic fans. They heard that I had the first edition of Edogawa III and asked me to play with them."

"Hey, you guy, don't use comics as a gimmick to invite fan gatherings just to show off, or you will die." Kudo Yuji looked at Yoshimoto seriously, and seeing his look, Yoshimoto nodded even though he didn't understand why.

"So this guy should have an alibi for later. Since he was in the hall, many people should have seen it."

Yokomizo Shigego turned around and stared at Furuya Toru. He had always felt that this guy was very suspicious, so he spoke very rudely: "What about you, where did you go?"

"I went to the bathroom. I don't know if the food in this hotel is bad. I started having stomachaches as soon as I entered the room, so I said a few words and went to the bathroom not long after. It took a long time." Furuya Toru snorted, "Maybe that's why she thinks I'm an honest person."

"Isn't that a disrespectful person?"

While Kudo Yuji, Hagiwara Chisuga and Yokomizo Shigego were questioning, they heard that these people had been to the toilet and the hall, and Sato Miwako pulled Chiba to the door.

"That Yoshimoto Maru, it is possible that he was an accomplice, asking someone to pretend to be a friend he just met, and then passing the murder weapon while exchanging comics."

"Yes, Officer Sato, the gun used by the criminal to kill the victim has not been found yet." Officer Chiba glanced at the three people standing together: "Just now I asked the forensic department to test them for gunpowder reaction, but there was no gunpowder reaction."

"This is expected. They just used plastic bags or something to cover their hands and weapons. So take a few policemen and search everyone in the hall. Don't leave out the flower pots or under the tables."

"I see."

"Wait a moment." Sato Miwako looked at the ground in confusion: "Although I don't think the other party would be so stupid, let's check the toilet tank as well."

"Ok."

"I've already told you that I can't be the criminal. You can let me go now. I still have dubbing work to do tomorrow."

The three people here are obviously a little annoyed. The writer is anxious to go back and turn his inspiration into words, the otaku doesn't want to miss today's animation time, and the voice actor is even more reluctant to stay.

"It's better for everyone to stay here. If you leave before finding out the truth, there might be some bad comments spread."

As soon as Sato Miwako came back, she warned the three people.

"Are you threatening us?"

The voice actor was the first to speak on behalf of the three people: "I don't know when the police can threaten the people." "We will provide you with a room with a TV and a desk, and you can use it at will until the case is solved."

The hotel manager stands on the side of the police. They also don't want the case to remain unclear as it would deal a blow to the hotel's business.

"Then I don't care. I can watch anime anyway."

"Me too, and please give me an extra dinner."

"Hey! You two?" The voice actor clenched his fists, seeming to be upset about being betrayed, but it was actually of no use. Under the caring eyes of the police, he had to agree to go to the room prepared for him in the hotel and wait quietly for new breakthroughs in the case.

"The room has been cleaned." Not long after, Officer Chiba came back from outside with a few policemen. He glanced at Officer Sato, and the admiration in his eyes was extremely obvious.

"Nothing was found in the lobby, but gloves wrapped in a plastic bag and a pistol were found in the water tank in the men's bathroom."

Chiba walked up to Sato Miwako and blinked excitedly: "Officer Sato, are you finally going to become a master of solving crimes?"

After Jinpei Matsuda resigned, many police officers in the Investigation Division 1 began to doubt their work. Whether it was Kogoro Mori in the past or Jinpei Matsuda now, just from the names they were given in society after they resigned, it can be seen that they were definitely masters in solving cases, but such people gave up their police work, which was a great blow to the police who were still on the front line, especially the Tokyo police.

"I just conducted a rigorous analysis of the cases I participated in in the past. The writer did not go anywhere else after leaving, but chose to read quietly on the side. Many people, including the hotel waiter, saw him. He is definitely not the real murderer."

Under the gaze of several others, Sato Miwako began to reason.

"Otaku, I'm worried that he's a gang member, so please go check it out. As for the voice actor, he said that he just went to the toilet, and because he had diarrhea, he stayed in there for a long time, so he subconsciously thought that the toilet tank could be used to hide things."

Miwako Sato looked at her colleagues who were on a mission with her and encouraged them: "I don't have any talent for reasoning, and sometimes I'm not even as good as an elementary school student, but I'm a police officer. I will do my best to solve the case, and I won't give up until the case is solved."

"Well said, you are quite my type, little girl. You look very similar to me."

Hagiwara Chisuku walked up to Sato Miwako with a smile and patted her on the shoulder. If it's you, I'll feel relieved about that kid Jinpei-chan.

"Please... please don't talk about personal matters while working. It will cause trouble for us to solve the case..."

"Oh, you're blushing. Wow, what kind of perfume are you using? It smells so good."

Although she is called a goddess, Chisawa Hagiwara looks like a nympho right now. However, no one present dared to tell the truth.

"All the clues now point to Toru Furuya, but we must find a piece of evidence or lure him into revealing a flaw through words." Kudo Yuji walked to Chiba, bent down and stared at the wet bag.

"This glove is turned inside out, so the fingerprints should have been destroyed. We can only use the technique to infer whether we can find evidence."

How did he manage to kill No. 6 after the writer? The boy thought that the murderer must have created a time difference in the order. If that was the case, he would need to carefully observe the six corridors from the room where he came out to where he could meet people. (End of this chapter)
