Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"flaw?"

"Brother Mori?!" Inspector Megure turned around and saw the famous detective with his hands on the table, eyes closed and head slightly lowered.

come yet!
This situation is so familiar!
"This is……"

It was the first time for Toru Amuro and Rena Mizunashi to see this scene with their own eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in their expressions.

"Multiple personalities?" Toruko didn't think that the Mouri Kogoro in front of her was really asleep. He might have entered some kind of state?

"This guy is also very perceptive..." Conan noticed the look of the new Polo clerk and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He didn't want to do this in front of Rena Mizunashi.

But Lin Feng refused to cooperate, snatched the watch away, and forcibly gave Uncle Maori an injection...

"Mr. Mori, who do you say the suspect is?" Takagi looked at the young editor standing beside him, Tono Shunichi.

"What a joke, how could Tono do such a thing!" The middle-aged boss who spoke up for his subordinate would think so, but he actually didn't want to cover up for anyone.

Qichuan Mura was definitely a very popular mystery novel writer in those days.

However, decades later, things and people have changed and not many people remember this name.

From top to bottom in the entire publishing house, almost no one was in favor of releasing another collection of Teacher Qi Chuan's works.

Only Toono, if it weren't for his insistence on bringing out these excellent works again, I would never have ordered the release of the collection.

"Yeah."

"Before you said those nice things to Inspector Megure, I had no idea what Mr. Tono's motives were." After a moment's silence, Conan squatted at Uncle Maori's feet and spoke slowly.

"What do you mean?" Inspector Megure was a little confused.

Through the conversation just now, it was once again proved that Toono is a fanatical fan of Mr. Saikawa, and there seems to be nothing to doubt.

"I think before explaining his motive, I must state that he is obsessed with Mr. Qichuan's novels, not the person himself."

Toruko stared at the silent young editor and said.

"Would you kill someone for a novel?" Rena Mizunashi showed a shocked expression and asked in an incredulous tone.

"I……"

Just as Tono was about to speak, he was interrupted by the sleeping Kogoro, who said, "Don't be impatient, let's listen to what the news is reporting first."

"Please ask Officer Takagi to just bring over a radio."

"Yes!"

"The famous mystery novelist, Qichuan Murako, was murdered last night. She had received threatening letters before, and the sender turned out to be..." Almost all radio news are now reporting this incident.

"I guess all newspapers are rushing to print this incident. By evening, the murder case involving a fictional character will have spread completely."

After Takagi turned off the radio, the sleeping Kogoro continued.

"You want to make it known to everyone because of the collection of works that is about to be released?" Inspector Megure's face turned serious.

I just said that Labyrinth Publishing House is going to publish a collection of Mr. Saikawa's works, and Tono Shunichi is fully responsible for it.

If someone chooses to kill people just to gain popularity for their portfolio, that's really despicable!

"Who knows."

"Is it for Qichuancun's work to be seen by the world again, or is it to pave the way for himself and become a famous editor?"

"Perhaps he had already thought of this murder plan from the moment he chose Maze Publishing House, using the bloody works of Qichuan Village to pave the way for himself." Lin Feng looked up at the ceiling, without even looking at Yuanye, and revealed his thoughts in a flat tone.

"..." Touzi was a little surprised.

Our store manager is quite good at stabbing...

Why does Touzi think so?

Because Toono's thoughts were revealed, he became furious. If these two motives were to be spread out, they would create completely different impressions.

"Okay, then tell me, I went to the party at 8:15 and stayed there until late at night, so how could I have time to kill someone!" Toono put his hands on the table and said to them.

The middle-aged boss couldn't help but take a step back when he saw his subordinate in such a state.

He just thought about it according to what Lin Feng said.

What the hell!

A little scared!
The situation of Maze Press is very, very bad. It is incredible that such a motivated and energetic young man would choose to come here.

As soon as Toono entered the publishing house, he proposed the idea of ​​integrating Mr. Qichuan's works and launching a collection of his works.

Seeing the passion and drive in Tono, he took a huge risk and agreed.

Is this all by design???
"I've seen a lot of people like you. No matter how high-sounding your so-called reasons are, they can't change your evil and despicable nature."

“It is often at the end of life that people burst into tears and speak out about the dark side.”

Lin Feng is still continuing to output.

"What evidence do you have for saying that?"

"What evidence do you have?" Toono was very angry.

In addition to Lin Feng's words, there was also that attitude, with a calm tone, an attitude that completely looked down on him.

"I say whatever I like, you hypocritical liar." Lin Feng said with a "Pah" sound.

"Cough cough."

"Mr. Tono, I would like to ask you first, how can you prove that you are not a suspect?"

Conan coughed lightly and interrupted the conversation between the two in the voice of Uncle Maori.

Actually, this question is quite tricky. It depends on how Toono answers it.

Of course, the correct thing to do is to refuse to answer. You can check for yourself whether there is any suspicion!
"Teacher Qichuan had sushi at 8 o'clock, and I left the apartment at that time and arrived at the party at 8:15. Is there no way to prove this..."

Yuanye forced himself to suppress the urge to punch Lin Feng twice. What if he made the man's face bloody? Wouldn't that give the police a reason to arrest him?

"That's indeed the case, Brother Maori. The forensic doctor has already determined that the deceased died one hour after eating." Officer Megure said with a frown.

According to the time of food delivery, the time of death must be nine o'clock, right?
"Tsk..." Toruko couldn't help but sneer as she watched Tono nod his head.

The prey didn't know that it had already stepped one foot into the trap.

"That's right. Judging from Mr. Toono's expression, he also knows this, so he thinks his alibi is perfect." Conan smiled and continued with the bow in his hand.

"How is this possible? Officer, didn't you just receive a call?" Rena Mizunashi asked Fatty Tachibana with a surprised look.

"Ah……"

Lin Feng glanced at this group of actors. They are teaming up to play a trick on me, Brother Megure, right? (End of this chapter)
