Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"After hearing some people start to doubt it, Tatsuhiko decided to play the role of Kappa once more to make everyone believe that Kappa really exists."

"I tried to persuade him that it was raining and he should just forget about it, but he said it was just a little rain and it was okay."

"He also asked me to quickly tell the guests at the hotel that a kappa had appeared." Araiwa Ikki lowered his head and continued to tell the truth of that year.

Just as he was running back to the hotel, the rain suddenly became heavy and intense.

Upon seeing this, Huang Yan immediately ran back, wanting to persuade Chen Yan to let it go for today, but he didn't expect that Chen Yan's foot was stuck while standing in the turbulent river, making him completely unable to move.

"I immediately ran to call Chen Yan's father, but when the two of us arrived, Chen Yan was no longer visible on the river..."

Thinking back to his childhood playmates, Araiwa Ikki shed tears.

"Did you later find his body in the reservoir downstream?" asked Officer Yamamura while recording.

"Yes, Mr. Hanzo took off Tatsuhiko's green-dyed shoe with tears in his eyes, and told me to keep this secret and not let anyone know that Tatsuhiko was dressed as a kappa."

"If other children run into the river and imitate and have an accident, Tatsuhiko will be sad when he finds out."

I don’t know if it was because he had spoken the secret himself after so many years, but Ikki Araiwa cried so sadly.

"I see."

"That's why he hid the other shoe and kept watching the river." Toruko looked at Mr. Debei, whose face turned pale and his eyes were wide open, unable to believe the truth, and couldn't help but sigh.

This is the truth, and even the strongest person can't bear it.

"How, how could it be!"

"What have I done..." Tokubei Rokuro knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Mori, how did you discover the truth?" Sugiyama turned his head and looked at Kogoro Mori who was leaning aside.

Tokubi Rokuro gave up without waiting for Kogoro to provide any evidence. In fact, this was all because his former student Araiwa stood up and tried his best to defend him.

Perhaps he really didn't want this student to be investigated as a murderer like himself.

"Taste." Uncle Maori's voice sounded.

"smell?"

Everyone looked at Kogoro.

"Didn't you notice that there was someone standing at the door and didn't walk into the room." Uncle Maori drew everyone's attention to a person who was eating noodles.

"Gulu~"

Sugiyama's stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

"Gudong..." Lin Feng swallowed the last mouthful of soup at the speed of light.

Don't think about it, it's impossible!

"Manager, is there any smell in the room?" A Zi asked, sniffing hard.

"By the way, Brother Lin Feng has a better sense of smell." Xiaolan also stood beside him and smelled together.

Can't smell it at all...

Touko looked at the various paint bottles on the table, then looked at the painting of a kappa on the side and said, "So that's what it is."

The only smell that could be connected to this murder was the foul-smelling water in the reservoir.

"Mr. Tokubei chose to use paint bottles to hold the water, rather than using bags or balloons."

"When we just walked into this room, Lin Feng immediately walked to the window and opened it. He must have smelled the lingering odor in the room." The sleeping Kogoro explained.

Conan still knows the repairman very well, Dog Nose.

"This is even more powerful than a police dog..." Sugiyama swallowed his words when he saw Lin Feng's eyes.

I feel a little palpitation, what's going on?

"There are quite a few paint bottles, but there is paint inside them?" Officer Shancun squatted beside the table and shook the paint bottles, looking puzzled. Although each bottle only has 20 to 30 milliliters, it is indeed a lot, enough to make up one or two liters of water.

But they are all used to hold rotten water, so how come there is pigment in it?

"It's a dropper, right?" Touzi picked up a paint bottle.

In order to facilitate use, the lid of this paint bottle is made of a rubber head and a pointed glass tube.

Just fill the dropper with paint, and then seal the pointed glass tube with something like waterproof tape, and you can store some paint.

After completing this preparation, pour out the remaining paint in the bottle, rinse it clean, fill it with water from the reservoir, and screw on the lid.

After the killing, fill each bottle with tap water and refill the pigment reserved in the dropper.

"I understand. This kind of paint needs to be diluted with water before it can be used. But Mr. Debei did not dilute it just now..."

A Zi and Xiao Lan recalled the details of the painting they had just drawn and looked suddenly enlightened.

It turns out that it has already been diluted.

"I don't know why you always have to use this strange method." Lin Feng looked at Debei Rokuro and said.

"In fact, I wrote that letter to Mr. Maori because I wanted him to help me testify that I didn't have any container with me."

"Yesterday was the anniversary of Tatsuhiko's death. I dragged Araiwa with me and fell into the river in order to take out all the luggage and show it to Mr. Maori and the others."

Tokubi Rokuro lowered his head, his expression unclear, and confessed in a hoarse voice.

"Even if you don't bring anything, hiding a few balloons in your pocket will be enough."

Sugiyama scratched his head, thinking that this trick was really useless. It was totally worthless after it was cracked, and it was too troublesome.

"With so many bottles, I'm afraid we don't have time to clean them one by one. I guess we can even detect sewage in the reservoir." Touzi also shook her head.

This is probably why Tokubei Rokuro took the initiative to help with the painting. He was eager to prove that these pigments were normal.

At this time, Debei Rokuro seemed to have lost his mind. He didn't care what others said and his heart was full of regret.

Whether there is evidence or not, he will plead guilty...

"Aha~"

After the dust settled, Uncle Maori opened his eyes, yawned, and his eyes were as clear and stupid as a college student.

what happened? ? ?
"Mr. Maori, do you remember what just happened?" Sugiyama asked curiously.

"..."

"How could I not remember!" Uncle Maori was silent for a moment, then when he saw Tokubi Rokuro put on handcuffs, he nodded and said.

It looks like the case is solved.

"Mr. Maori, just now..."

Just as Amuro was about to ask a few details, he was pushed aside by Officer Yamamura.

"Mr. Maori, you solved the case perfectly again this time!"

"Let's go have a drink together later!"

This guy, even as a police inspector, is still not in tune...

"Hahaha, of course no problem~" Uncle Maori just nodded in agreement and left the rest to fate.

"It's better if this kind of case doesn't happen again." Lin Feng stood at the door, glanced at Tokubi Rokuro's figure and said.

Conan nodded seriously.

"Yeah..." (End of Chapter)
