Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Except one person!

Winnette Moriarty.

In other words, just by observing the degree of her acting, one can tell whether the woman who appears here is Winnet or not.

"That's their man..." Conan's face was solemn. The last time he was so close to the Black Organization was when he encountered Tequila. If she knew that their purpose was to take the disk, Dr. Agasa and the others would be in danger.

What should he do?

He didn't have any evidence to expose her here. And Miyano Akemi didn't die as Miyano Akemi. The police hadn't confirmed this, so as long as she didn't make a mistake, he couldn't do anything to her.

On the other side, Yokomizo continued to listen to the recording.

While Shirakura's message was playing, I had already arrived. He briefly explained what happened and continued to pass on the message. Most of the messages were answered by Shirakura, but the fourteenth call was interrupted by a call from an insurance company.

After the sound played, Conan shook his back as if he had suffered a traumatic injury.

Even though the voice was distorted by the call, he could still clearly identify the owner of this impressive voice.

"Vodka..." Huibara Ai whispered what he was thinking.

The last call was from Winette, who pretended to be Akemi Miyano. The general content was also to retrieve the disk. Officer Yokomizo directly thought that she was in the same group as Dr. Agasa.

The "friend" must be the girl in front of him. Yokomizo made the judgment and did not doubt it any more. After all, she had just arrived, and the last message she left was after Professor Hirota's death.

"It seems that they are really desperate. They even found someone to pretend to be your sister just to get the disk back. It's really urgent."

"But this also shows that the person who killed Professor Hirota was not one of them."

In response to Conan's whisper, Haibara Ai did not respond.

While they were quietly waiting at the scene, Winette, who was pretending to be Miyano Akemi, smiled and signaled. Conan felt that this was a smile with a hidden knife, and Haibara Ai was still hiding behind the doctor.

Not long after, Hosoya and Morioka were also invited to the scene by the police. They were all surprised at the murder of Professor Hirota.

"How is this possible?"

"Not long ago, he was still alive and well!"

Yokomizo quickly entered criminal investigation mode, and he first set his sights on Hosaya, who had once passed by Toshiko.

Hosoya replied, "Because my daughter is going to apply for Nanyang University, I came here to ask the professor to write a recommendation letter for my daughter. But I saw that the professor seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, so I gave up and went back."

Then, Yokomizo confirmed the drinking with Toshiko, and looked at Morioka: "Well, Mr. Morioka. From the message you left on the phone, you and Professor Hirota already made an appointment, right?"

"Yes, Professor Hirota and I are chess friends," Morioka said, "He invited me to play chess tonight." He pointed to the ground and said, "Look, there are chess pieces on the floor." He said that he and the professor usually play chess in the room, but they didn't have an appointment this time, so he called twice. As he didn't get a reply, he came to find Professor Hirota to confirm.

"So you've already been here?"

"Yes, it was already half past nine when I arrived. The door was not locked." Morioka said that he rang the doorbell many times but no one came out, so he suspected that Professor Hirota might have forgotten the appointment and fell asleep, so he went into the house and knocked on the study door, but got no response, and the door was locked, so he had no choice but to go back.

"The next person to come was Dr. Agasa, who discovered Professor Hirota's death. The next person to come was Ms. Miyano Akemi..." Yokomizo looked at her suspiciously, "You called around 9:30, but you didn't arrive here until 11."

"Because I decided to come to see the professor suddenly." Winnett replied, "I used to have a very good relationship with the professor, so I would often rush over without any prior arrangement..."

Toshiko also echoed her words.

"That's true. My husband and I like Mingmei very much. Sometimes, she even stays here overnight."

238 Proof and Doubt (7k)

Yokogo thought about it from her perspective. If there was such a reason, she could have just not played the phone call and left after committing the crime. The whole process would be difficult to verify. From this perspective, there was really no need for her to return to the crime scene.

He looked at Shirakura, who was the last to arrive, and asked him why he came here today.

"To be honest, I'm working as a model now, and this time there's a magazine project that wants to do a report on the unexpected side of models. So I remembered that during my university anniversary party, I dressed up as a woman and took a photo with Professor Hirota. I also knew that the teacher had the habit of saving photos on floppy disks, so I wanted to come here to borrow a floppy disk," Shirakura explained.

Three people have already targeted the magnetic disk.

Toshiko then explained that Professor Hirota would scan his favorite photos, university test papers, student transcripts, and even the results of his chess games with Morioka and save them onto a floppy disk.

This woke Henggou up.

Everyone present is related to the magnetic disk held by Professor Hirota.

"I see," Yokomizo stroked his chin and judged, "So the murderer took all the information away after killing Professor Hirota... This is his motive for committing the crime."

Among them, Yokomizo is more suspicious of Hosoya. Compared with the other people's purpose, Hosoya's is more important because it concerns his daughter's future.

"As long as she gets the exam questions, it will be no problem for her to pass," said Yokomizo.

Hoshiya hurriedly shook his head to deny it, saying that he had not thought about it. "Besides us, there were many other people who came here, right?" He argued, "And the professor usually uses the university's computers." His cheek was almost touching Yokomizo, saying that the professor might have taken the relevant disk to the university.

Morioka also affirmed his statement.

"And the professor's magnetic disks are all unmarked," he added.

At the end, Shirakura reiterated that this was a secret room, and even the key to the house fell under the notebook.

Their words forced Yokomizo to rethink.

When Winnet heard that "the criminals took all the disks away", she was in a dilemma.

If the case does not go smoothly and the murderer cannot be identified, the floppy disk will also be missing. However, if the murderer is arrested, the floppy disk will be seized as evidence and its contents will be exposed.

Only she can find the murderer before the police, provided that the police have no clues about the murderer's crime.

"I don't think the professor would take all the disks to the university," Winette said to Officer Yokomizo. "Although the professor would not specifically label the disks, he can tell what is on them. The professor will keep the commemorative photos and records properly. I have never seen him bring these disks to school."

Her words made Yokomizo even more certain that this was a closed-room murder case.

Winnett decides to race the police.

If the disks are known at the same time as the police, they can be dealt with more quickly.

Gin and Vodka, who are concerned about this matter, are already on standby.

While the two sides were talking, Conan continued to investigate the situation at the scene. The suspects were right. In any case, it was too accidental to put the key under the notebook. Even if you can use something like a rubber band to bounce the key back into the room, there is no guarantee that such an effect can be achieved. How did they do it?

"The crack in the door, the notebook, and the phone are in a straight line..."

The room is a mess, and there is nothing blocking the line. Is it possible to do this with a tape?

Conan sat in front of the phone, lost in thought.

Ai Haibara, who was hiding behind the doctor, gradually calmed down from the situation of "Miyano Akemi appeared". Even if it was only for a moment, the other party saw her. If the other party had seen her as a child, even if it was just a suspicion, they would focus on her. In a sense, the "Miyano Akemi" that appeared now had not seen her as a child.

She took a deep breath to ease the fear that remained in her body, and took a few steps towards Conan.

"You've realized that, theoretically, it's impossible to do this, even with the answering machine tape. It's impossible for Professor Hirota to fall and hit the decorations and die from the unexpected angle... This matter has been settled, Edogawa."

Huihara placed the knight chess piece on the ground on the surface of the phone.

"The organization has already noticed this matter. We'd better evacuate as soon as possible."

Although she said this, she had no intention of leaving, but stared at Winnett who was in the venue.

That little girl, why does she look so much like Shirley? Really, has she come to this point? Winnet glanced at Shirley, who was watching with a serious face, and smiled faintly. If it was Shirley when she was a child, maybe her self-awareness would be stronger? She felt that Shirley would not stay quietly in the corner, but she was also cute when she was quiet. Winnet fantasized for a while, but she quickly returned to the reality in front of her - she had to find Shirley quickly.

I can't find it. Maybe it's hiding well, or maybe...

Winnet's mind worked rapidly.

If the murderer's purpose was to get those disks, then every visitor here could have committed the crime. The scene was a secret room, and the key was pressed under a book. Her eyes extended from the front of the door, and when she reached the phone, she saw a familiar little figure - Conan Edogawa following Detective Maori.

This is really...

How come I can see this magical little detective everywhere?

However, now she does not appear as Winnet, but as Miyano Akemi, so it is normal that she and he do not know each other.

Since he is there, it means there is some key clue.

Following this line of thought, Winnet soon discovered the same thing: the phone, notebook, and door were in a straight line, with no obstructions in between.

Chess on the telephone...

So this is ah.

The whole process can be easily achieved by using an answering machine.

Winette, who was observing, saw Conan's sudden change in expression and understood that he had guessed the method of committing the crime. However, this time there was no Detective Maori present, and it was too difficult to get the police officer to cooperate with his reasoning as a child.

"Officer, can I use the restroom?"

Winnet said.

Now that we know the method of committing the crime, it is obvious who the culprit is. The only person who could use the answering machine tape to commit the crime is the person who made the most calls.

No wonder the line was always busy when Vodka called.

"That doesn't matter."

Yokomizo replied that because Miyano Akemi had been standing at the door, she had nothing to do with the arrangement of the scene.

Winette didn't actually go to the bathroom.

After all, she was just a fake, and even the information about Professor Hirota was provided by Miyano Akemi herself. She turned the corner and sent the message using her cell phone.

"The person who killed Professor Hirota was Shirakura Yo, and the disk might be in his hands."

After waiting for a while, she returned to the room where the crime occurred.

At this time, she happened to hear Dr. Agasa say that he had solved the mystery and knew who the murderer was. Then she remembered that there was such a doctor living near her home. Because he had not invented anything destructive recently and had not caused any trouble, the impression he left on her became weak.

She didn't expect that this doctor also had such excellent reasoning ability.

However, she felt relieved when she thought that he was Kudo Shinichi's neighbor. Winette originally thought that she could wait for a while to pass before solving the whole incident. Since Dr. Agasa was leading the way, she didn't even need to put the name of "Miyano Akemi" among the people who helped the police solve the case.

"What did you say!?"

Everyone present was in shock.

Haibara Ai, who had been given a heads-up in advance by him, just watched Winnet's actions quietly.

When she went out just now, she might have reported the situation here to the organization. What action will they take? Huiyuan felt bad, but there were a large number of police officers here, and they would not directly take violent measures, so she was not in a hurry to ask the doctor to take them away. As long as they made sure that the disk was no longer there, she thought, the organization would not take action against irrelevant people.

The more obvious their actions are, the more disadvantageous it will be for them, and the easier it will be for them to be targeted by official hounds.

"Really? Didn't I just say that?" Morioka retorted, "This is an accident no matter how you look at it."

"You are really naive. This is why outsiders cannot solve cases." The doctor stretched out a finger and made a detective-like pose.

Winette watched with a smile, her behavior was quite similar to Kudo Shinichi's.

"Aren't you still an amateur yourself?" Morioka was a little speechless.

"The scene is indeed a secret room. At first glance, it does make people think it was an accident. However, the murderer can easily create a perfect secret room by using the tape of the answering machine and the chess pieces."

"Chess pieces?"

"A tape of the phone call?"

Everyone was still confused.

At this time, Winnett stood up and said, "So that's how it's done."

The others were even more confused. Could it be that their IQ was not up to par and they did not understand the doctor's intention?

The doctor was also shocked.

In fact, he himself doesn’t understand it!

The guilty doctor turned his head quietly and asked Conan who was leaning against his back: "Shinichi, is this true?"

"Please, don't look so surprised... hold your head high and be more confident."

Winnet, who was originally smiling, frowned. Although the person who was speaking deliberately lowered his voice, she still noticed Conan's voice behind the doctor with her extraordinary hearing. Could it be that Dr. Agasa was just following Conan's instructions? This is too strange...

Unless Conan Edogawa told the doctor his hidden true identity, or used some means to force the doctor to do things for him.

It turned out to be a voice changer.

Really are……

Winnet felt that she was too sensitive and didn't even notice such an obvious trick. If it were her usual self, she would have noticed that this sound was mixed with the sound of a machine.

At the same time, Haibara Ai was also watching Winnet's every move.

Including her subtle changes in expression.

The other party seemed to be more interested in Conan than in her.

This is a good thing, as it further reduces the possibility of her being discovered.
