Is Kaito Kid a stand-in for stealing the Egg of Memories and then returning the items?

Why did he do this?

A principled thief? A chivalrous thief? An admirer of the magician of the fin de siècle?

boring.

Winette lay on the table, bored.

Then, she heard someone knocking at the door. Based on the frequency and sound, she quickly determined the identity of the person and was instantly delighted. She opened the door, but Xiao Ai outside had a serious expression.

"The man named Hanchuan is dead."

Winnett heard the hidden meaning in Xiao Ai's voice, and she shook her head slowly: "It wasn't me."

"Oh, that would be great...but maybe it's the person who attacked you last night."

Ai's speculation was also the first thing she thought of. However, the last time he made a move was when she and Kidd were fighting for the Egg of Memory. As for Ryu Kankawa, although he had a bad personality, he was the one who had the lowest demand for the egg among these people - he just wanted to take pictures, get magazine coverage, and become famous. Winette felt that although he was greedy for the egg, he would not fight for it directly.

Winnet knew that without seeing the scene, her speculation was just castles in the air.

She followed Xiao Ai and came to Hanchuan's room.

At this time, the door was already full of people. She and the children were the last to know; Maori Kogoro and Conan had already entered the room. She saw Conan lying in front of the corpse, which annoyed Kogoro. He picked up Conan and threw him towards the door.

"The time of death was about thirty minutes, and the ring and necklace were missing."

Kogoro muttered to himself, then shouted outside: "President Suzuki, this is a murder case, please contact the police immediately."

You can tell it's a murder case...

What made Winnett want to complain even more was that the person who answered the phone was Megure Jusan. What surprised her even more was that the other party arrived in less than two hours by helicopter.

Except for the detective Kogoro Mori, Nishino asked them to wait in the lobby and restaurant of the cabin.

Not long after, Inspector Megure led Shiratori and Kogoro to the hall and questioned Mr. Nishino while holding a ballpoint pen in an evidence bag.

That was his ballpoint pen, but now it appeared in Mr. Kanchuan's room.

"But why did I appear in Mr. Kanakawa's room?" Nishino himself was also confused.

Kogoro cut in from another direction, "Excuse me, are you the first one to discover the body?"

"Yes, it was time for dinner, so I went to call him."

Officer Megure asked: "Did you enter the room at that time?"

"No."

"What... didn't go in? Why did the ballpoint pen fall in the room?" Kogoro asked immediately.

"I do not know."

"So what were you doing around 7:30?"

"I took a shower around 7:10 and took a nap."

Nishino's explanation only increased his suspicion because no one could testify for him during this period.

At this time, Gao Mu ran into the hall.

"Inspector Megure! After searching the victim's room, we found that all the videotapes were gone."

"I see. No wonder the victim's room was searched thoroughly."

Kogoro's words also reminded Winette that not only had Kanchuan's room been turned upside down, but even his pillows were destroyed, with the feathers inside scattered everywhere.

Before she could say anything, the sneaking kid rushed out. No matter how much Kogoro shouted, it was useless. Only Xiaolan followed him like a nanny - Winette thought she still had doubts. Now Edogawa looked like a smaller version of Kudo Shinichi.

"I don't think the criminal could be Mr. Nishino."

Winette spoke, attracting Megure's attention.

"Miss Winnet, you can't say such things without evidence. Were you with him at the time?"

Winnet smiled back. She didn't really want to help Nishino, she just wanted to narrow down the scope of the murderer. Judging from the fact that the ballpoint pen fell at the scene, the murderer wanted to frame him.

"Ms. Sonoko and Ms. Natsumi, do you still remember that Mr. Nishino fled from Xiaolan's room in a panic?"

"Remember, isn't it because he's shy?"

Sonoko still insisted on her original opinion, and the person involved blushed a little after hearing it.

Winnet shook her head and explained to everyone: "The pigeon in Ai's arms flapped its wings and dropped a few feathers, just when you entered the room. In fact, I think the real reason why Mr. Nishino ran away was not because he was shy, but because he was allergic to animal feathers, right?"

"But what does this have to do with the case?" Kogoro asked.

"In fact, in the town where I used to live, there was a Miss Angelica who was allergic to animal hair. When she saw a furry animal, she would cover her mouth and nose and run away like Mr. Nishino... Didn't you notice? Mr. Kanchuan's room is full of feathers. If the murderer was Mr. Nishino, even if the allergy symptoms were mild, he should have been sneezing all the time."

Nishino gave her a grateful look.

"Is that true?"

"Yes, I am allergic to feathers," he replied.

Chairman Suzuki, who was standing next to him, also testified: "Yes, he sneezed non-stop whenever he touched the feathers."

"I guess there's a reason why the ballpoint pen in your hand appeared in the room, Officer Megure. I'm afraid that if we go to Mr. Nishino's room now, we can still find the missing ring necklace."

"You mean?"

"Yes, these should be the murderer's preparations to frame Mr. Nishino." Winette added, "Ai once told me that at the time in the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art, Mr. Kamikawa showed extreme fear towards Mr. Nishino. Maybe the murderer wanted to use this to deepen Mr. Nishino's suspicion."

"Could it be that you knew the victim before, Mr. Nishino?" Megure asked.

I don't seem to have any recollection of it, but after thinking about it carefully, Nishino suddenly realized something and rubbed his head like Ikkyu: "I remember now! Three years ago, when he was filming a girl whose house was burned down, I couldn't stand it and beat him up."

Winette frowned.

"Mr. Nishino, does that mean Mr. Kankawa still holds a grudge against you?"

"But it's been so long..."

"No," Winette said, "Although it's not nice for the deceased to say this, Mr. Hanchuan is a very annoying person. He likes to stir up disputes and invade other people's space."

"Yes! He was secretly taking photos of Sister Xiaolan at the door at that time."

"He's a pretty annoying guy!"

"That's right!"

Each member of the Young Detective Team spoke one sentence at a time to support Winnett's point of view.

"Officer Megure, you should check Mr. Nishino's room. I think the murderer didn't intend to create a murder scene, but really wanted to take the ring and necklace, but he couldn't find it after searching the room. This is because he hid the ring in Mr. Nishino's room early in the morning and took his ballpoint pen without permission... Maybe he took advantage of the time when Mr. Nishino was taking a bath, in order to take revenge on Mr. Nishino and make him the ring thief."

"However, it was this action of his that prevented his murderer from finding the ring, which led to the situation in the room."

There is a loophole in her speculation, which is what Gao Mu said about the disappearance of the video tape in the room. According to common sense, it should be that the photos he took have revealed some secrets of the murderer, combined with his method of breaking into other people's rooms to take pictures...

It is very likely that he is one of those people who are eyeing the eggs.

……

397 Shi Kaobing and the Fake White Bird

Megure asked Nishino for his advice and searched his room, and indeed found the ring necklace under the bed.

Then Winnet learned from gossip that the ring was suspected to be the ring that Nicholas II gave to his third daughter Maria.

The prisoner's goal gradually became clear.

Both the egg and the ring are treasures of the Romanov dynasty.

Conan broke into Nishino's room and was shocked when he heard that the police believed that Mr. Nishino was not the murderer. After asking, he learned that he was allergic to feathers and he breathed a sigh of relief. He followed the police back to the living room.

"Who could the culprit be, then?"

Megure murmured.

He looked at Kogoro Maori and immediately gave up hope, but he was too embarrassed to ask Winette this question.

"Inspector, have you ever heard of Scoobing?"

"Scottie?"

"He's the villain who specializes in stealing the treasures of the Romanov dynasty in various countries and shooting people in the right eye. Haven't you heard of him?"

He's a little too detached.

Winnet narrowed her eyes, and everyone present focused their attention on Conan. If a child knew the information of an internationally wanted criminal, it must have been told by someone, or so people would normally think.

"Now that you mention it, there is indeed this wanted criminal in the world." Megure finally realized what was going on after mumbling to himself. He opened his mouth and looked at Conan in disbelief, "Could it be that he is the criminal this time?"

"I think it must be this Scooby-Doo," Conan said with a confident smile, "He might be the one who sniped Kidd."

"What did you say!?"

"Kid's right monocle was broken...Scoop hit Kid because he wanted to take the egg from Kid's hand." Conan stated his inference.

If the information just now only surprised everyone, his remarks now were enough to make everyone unbelievable.

Kogoro leaned over and asked Conan why he knew the information about Skobing. Conan's confidence was instantly broken, and he danced around in panic. Ai couldn't bear to watch and sighed. At this time, someone who appeared to rescue him was also unexpected - Officer Shiratori answered for him.

"Dr. Agasa told you, right, Conan?"

"yes……"

Conan responded in embarrassment. When he made the call before, he always felt that someone was looking at him. Now it seems that the person is undoubtedly Shiratori. While he was relieved, he finally thought of another thing that had always worried him: concealing his identity.

The fortune paper I got from the shrine had this sentence in it: The secret will be exposed.

Could it be that Officer Shiratori discovered it?

While he was nervous, Xiaolan, who was sitting next to Winnet, narrowed her eyes and stared at Conan. She knew that Xiaolan had begun to doubt his true identity.

What on earth was he so worried about? Was it because he considered Xiaolan a friend?

She thought that when such doubts really came to light, she might be able to dispel Xiaolan's suspicions by letting Kudo Shinichi show up. Although this would make Edogawa Conan daydream, it would undoubtedly meet his expectations and he would not come out to expose her. She even thought about how to deal with it afterwards, as long as she pushed everything onto Kidd, there would be no problem.

She remembered that when they were in the Toudou Tower, Kidd had disguised himself as Nakamori Aoko and had no objection to wearing women's clothes. Even if she did so, it would not cause any damage to his reputation - what reputation could a thief have?

"Ah! I understand!"

Megure shouted, "Just as Miss Winnett deduced, Scoobing didn't expect Mr. Samukawa to have hidden the ring and necklace in Mr. Nishino's room in advance, so he turned Mr. Samukawa's room upside down. In other words, his original goal was to snatch Maria's ring from Mr. Samukawa, right?"

Kogoro stroked his chin and added, "But he took all the videotapes away, which means that they may have recorded some of his real information."

Conan's expression relaxed.

He had originally been thinking about hypnotizing Kogoro Mouri, but he didn't expect that Winette had already helped him solve this problem. After all, doing so in front of Officer Shiratori who was paying attention to him was fraught with risks.

He looked towards Winnett, but felt he was glared at.

What? It turns out to be Huibara.

However, he always felt that Winnet's smile was not so warm and friendly.

"So, this Scottie might still be hiding on the ship." Officer Megure was embarrassed.

At this time, Officer Shiratori interrupted and said, "About this matter, Inspector, I found that there is one lifeboat missing."

"what?"

"So, did Scott escape on the lifeboat?" Kogoro speculated.

"We've already started a search," White Bird said, "but it should be hard to find."

The lack of a lifeboat might just be a cover-up. The so-called Scorpion is the transliteration of the word scorpion, a dormant and deadly hunter. Speaking of this name, Winnet has also heard of it. He is a murderer whose identity, gender, and age are all a mystery.

"At least we can breathe a sigh of relief knowing he's not on board."

"Yes, you can rest assured."

The art dealer and Miss Xia Mei's housekeeper relaxed a little at the same time.

However, Scoob's purpose of sneaking into the ship must be related to the egg, and he will not give up easily if he is willing to snipe Kidd.

Officer Shiratori is very concerned about this matter. "But Scoop is still coveting the other egg. I think he is likely to appear in the castle of the Kosaka family... No, I think he should have already gone there. Officer Megure, after arriving in Tokyo tomorrow, I also want to go to the castle with you. Is that okay?"

"Okay, let's do it."

While Megure agreed, Kogoro did not forget to give Conan a warning. He asked him to go back to the detective agency and not follow them, which immediately caused protests from the Junior Detective Team.

Kogoro, who was surrounded by Genta and the other two, suddenly lost some of his momentum. Under the attack of words like "stingy", he yelled while pinching his white gloves.

"You all go back too!"
