More than half an hour passed, and the host of the banquet, Sontoku Seba, finally began to get impatient:

"I say, Officer Megure, how long are you going to detain my guest? I don't have the time to accompany you in this kind of search without evidence."

Before he opened his mouth, the relevant police officers had already investigated the personal belongings of the guests present.

The police officer named Megure, wearing an orange coat, raised his hands to appease:

"Alright, alright, Mr. Seba... After all, the dead were all guests at your party! Mr. Yamazaki, the manager of Mitsubishi Bank, was murdered here. Please be patient."

"You mean, the suspect is among us?" Seba Sontoku was even more displeased.

Before he could protest, a figure in flashy clothes walked into the dark corridor.

A white shirt, a blue suit, and a big red bow at the collar.

"You're right!"

"The murder room is a secret room with a door locked from the inside. The suspect sneaked in through the window next to the third floor and then ran out through the window."

"There are no footprints under the window. Judging from this situation, the murder must have been committed by someone inside."

As he spoke, he walked to the side of Inspector Megure. Winnet also saw the person coming and slowly curled the corners of her mouth.

Kudo Shinichi.

The young man who appeared at the scene of the robbery last time.

Winette had seen his name in the newspapers.

He was once hailed as "the Sherlock Holmes of the 1990s" and "the savior of the Japanese police", and is a high school detective who has recently made a splash in the media.

Even the students in the pure girls' school often talk about him and act in an admiring manner.

Winnet thought to herself:

Just let me see what you are capable of.

……

145 Globe, danger!

"Nonsense, the distance from there to the next window is at least ten meters, how is it possible to jump over there?"

Sonnoku Seba began to refute.

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi smiled confidently and continued his analysis:

"If I use the eaves of the neighboring window and walk over, I will be less than two meters away from Mr. Yamazaki's balcony."

Seba Sontoku looked down on him:

"What a naive reasoning. Even if he jumped over, how would the murderer leave? The balcony is two meters away, and the eaves are only about ten centimeters high. How could he jump up there?"

"It's very simple."

Kudo Shinichi remained calm and composed:

"When the suspect jumped over from the next room, he had ropes tied to his body, and when he left, he climbed back along the ropes fixed on the balcony."

"But how do you loosen the ropes that are fixed to the balcony?"

Inspector Megure was confused. He couldn't understand how the murderer could fix the rope so that he could retrieve the rope left at one end of the crime room.

From the time the gunshots rang out to the time the guests rushed into the room on the third floor, it took no more than two minutes. The murderer had to untie the secure knot, deal with the props, and then return to the guests. The time was very tight.

"That's very simple. I can explain it. Just tie a stick to the front of the rope and use the balcony structure to clamp it. When the suspect returns to the balcony, loosen the rope and it will be easily recovered... Officer Megure, check the balcony at the crime scene now. You should be able to find traces left when the rope was fixed."

"But why did Mr. Yamazaki lock the room by himself when the crime happened?"

"It can be inferred that the murderer specifically told Mr. Yamazaki that he had something private to discuss and asked him to lock the door and wait quietly inside."

Seba Sontoku shouted impatiently:

"Enough, enough. Who is it? Who is the person who killed my friend Mr. Yamazaki?"

"The murderer is someone who knows the structure of this house very well, who will not arouse anyone's suspicion, and who can move freely in this house... In fact, that person is..."

Kudo Shinichi kept it a secret, then slowly raised his finger and pointed it at Sonno Sawa who was sitting in a wheelchair:

"That's you, Mr. Seba!"

The accused Seba Sontoku was very embarrassed, he laughed:

"Are you kidding me? My leg hasn't recovered yet!"

"there is only one truth!"

Kudo Shinichi picked up the globe on the table and threw it at Seba Sontoku.

The globe hit the wheelchair and the fixing frame was directly broken, leaving only the "earth" rolling in its original direction due to the elastic force.

The people at the scene were stunned by this scene.

The reason was that Sonnoku Seba, who was confined to a wheelchair, stood up.

When Miss Winnet saw this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it was a medical miracle.

However, in her opinion, it would be a bit difficult to identify the criminal as Sonno Sawa based solely on his modus operandi and ease of movement. But at this moment, his feet, wrapped in gauze, were firmly on the ground, and his suspicion suddenly increased.

Seba Sontoku panicked: "It's over, it's over!"

Kudo Shinichi continued to analyze with a smile:

"Your foot actually recovered three months ago."

At the end, he did not forget to save face for Inspector Megure.

"Is that so, officer?"

Inspector Megure coughed twice and concluded the case:

"Don't worry, your doctor has already told you everything. Besides, we have also found out that you and your friend Mr. Yamazaki have had financial dealings in private."

After listening to this, Winette found that the Japanese police were not so incompetent. At least in terms of social relations, their investigation was quite thorough.

It seems that this Inspector Megure is not a complete mascot.

Seeing that the truth was revealed, Sonno Seba hurriedly ran towards the exit, and Winette happened to be standing in a straight line between him and the door.

Miss Winnett imitated Shirley and hooked her feet forward, and Sewa fell to the ground in his panic. At the same time, Kudo Shinichi kicked the globe that rolled to the ground hard, but missed.

The globe hit the wall and bounced back in Sofia's direction.

"what!"

Sophia screamed and protected her face with her shoulders.

Two seconds later, she found that she was fine and slowly opened her eyes.

She saw Winnet's delicate fist blocking her way, and the globe flew out the door, its skin beginning to break.

"that……"

Seeing that his attempt to show off failed, Kudo Shinichi could not help but touch the back of his head with an awkward smile.

To be honest, if Miss Moriarty hadn't suddenly kicked and tripped Seba, his kick on the globe would have definitely hit the target accurately!

"Detective boy! Do you know this is very dangerous?" Sophia shouted at Kudo Shinichi.

She grabbed Winnett's wrist and saw that the fingertips were obviously red:

"How is it? Does it hurt? How about I take you to the hospital later?"

"I'm fine,"

Winnet stretched out her five fingers and then retracted them, moved them, and replied with a smile.

If I were really taken to the hospital, I would definitely be in trouble again.

Seeing that Winnet was fine, Sophia took a deep breath.

"Please be careful, Detective Confused."

"Confused... Detective?"

Kudo Shinichi became depressed. He was usually the center of attention and had never been humiliated like this before.

Seeing this, Officer Megure quickly seized the opportunity and patted Kudo Shinichi on the back:

"Oh, Kudo-kun. You'd better be more careful next time. We police officers will be responsible for subduing the criminal."

Kudo Shinichi was photographed like an ostrich.

He had long been annoyed with this young detective who was seeking attention. Although he had made a great contribution in helping them solve the case, this would also make the Metropolitan Police Department appear incompetent in the eyes of the public.

However, he hated his ability to handle cases even more. Faced with the murderer's tricks, they really needed the assistance of a detective with a keen sense of nose.

Inspector Megure seized the opportunity and gave Kudo Shinichi a few "hit"s:

"If that young lady hadn't intervened, you would have hurt someone."

"..."

Kudo Shinichi was depressed for a while, and after pondering for a long time, he stepped forward and bowed to apologize:

"I'm sorry, ladies..."

Kudo Shinichi also recognized that the person in front of him was Winnett. He was even more certain that this Miss Moriarty had practiced martial arts. Just now, he heard the sound of a globe breaking.

Through the gaps in the light, one can see the broken shape of the outer edge of the globe.

The cracked area was very small, not like a spider-web pattern caused by strong vibration, but it could almost be said to be pierced quickly by a bullet.

“To correct one’s mistakes is a virtue.”

Winnet accepted the apology and smiled.

"I am so sorry, Miss Moriarty, but could you please let me see your hand?"

Shinichi Kudo was certain that Winnet was a martial arts expert and planned to draw more conclusions by observing the state of her hand. He intuitively felt that Winnet in front of him was not simple.

It felt to him like a deep fog was hidden within her. From the outside, he couldn't read any real information about her.

"Don't worry, Mr. Detective. Just as you guessed, I have learned a little martial arts. I just did it naturally. There is no damage."

……

146 Miss Winnett will never be inferior to others

The moment it hit the globe, Winnet felt something was wrong.

9-4--

Although the internal structure of the globe is not solid, the strength of the material is not low, otherwise Kudo Shinichi's full-strength kick would have such power.

She actually punched a globe through it?

While accompanying her adoptive father in learning, she practiced both internal and external martial arts. However, as what people said on the Internet, without twenty years of practice, it would be difficult to even touch the threshold of entry, let alone the magical internal strength and hidden strength.

Winnett clearly felt the power directed from her body, exerting it with greater intensity than ever before.

Why does it smell like a martial arts novel?

Winette didn't dare to read Kudo Shinichi's palm, as it made her feel like being stared at by flies because of the fermentation smell. The observation was so pervasive.

Years of experience have taught her that detectives have become an indispensable profession in the world and have a huge influence, especially in Beika Town, where the crime rate is still high.

Being targeted by this high school detective would only make her feel a little restrained.

Seeing Winnet's refusal, Kudo Shinichi did not continue to pester her.

He aims to be Sherlock Holmes and a cultured gentleman in his life. After being forgiven, he returns to Inspector Megure and regains his confident and handsome appearance.

When Winnet saw this, she thought: Sure enough, he is still a high school student with an immature mentality.

Should we find an opportunity to kill him?

As soon as the case was solved, the guests at the scene quickly left and discussed the matter in low voices.

Winette got a ride with Sophia.

Considering that Winnet helped her block the globe, Sophia didn't say much and walked Winnet back to her home.
