Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

The murderer had committed crimes three times in a row. Although he failed the last time, Kogoro Mori still felt a little embarrassed, so he planned to check Mr. Hamaya's body again.

In this situation, dispersing the crowd was obviously not a wise option, so everyone left the venue together and went to the place where Mr. Hamaya's body was.

"Uncle Maori, look, there is a crossbow and a bunch of arrows here." Conan observed carefully this time and made a new discovery, so he quickly reminded Maori Kogoro.

When Kogoro Mori heard this, he immediately perked up, "What? Are there any other discoveries? Let me take a look."

At the location where Conan pointed, there was a crossbow and a pile of arrows lying in the snow. It was probably because Conan just walked over and happened to find the crossbow and arrows that had not been completely buried by the snow.

When everyone saw the crossbow and arrows on the snow, they began to associate their uses with each other.

Conan had already begun to combine these two issues with the issue of Hamaya's body, but there was still one key problem he hadn't figured out. He didn't know how to use a crossbow to get Hamaya's body from the room to here without leaving any trace.

Xiaolan and Sonoko were also thinking about it, but after just a while, they looked at Li Xuan.

"Mr. Xuan, do you know what is going on?" Yuanzi was very curious and did not think of an effective development, so she threw the question to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan did not disappoint her.

He smiled, said nothing, and just pointed to a few big trees in the distance.

Sonoko just tilted her head and thought about it, then immediately reacted, clenching her fist and pounding her palm, "I understand, so this is how Mr. Hamaya was transported here."

Yuanzi's words attracted the attention of everyone present. They were waiting for Yuanzi to continue speaking, and then they saw Yuanzi running towards some big trees in the distance.

When Conan saw that there were several big trees at the destination where Sonoko ran, he quickly reacted, but a strange thought arose in his mind: when did Suzuki Sonoko become so smart? She actually discovered the murderer's method faster than he did.

Yuanzi went over to observe the big trees, and sure enough, found two marks of being pierced by sharp weapons on two of them. Having found the key clue, Yuanzi immediately ran back, hugged Li Xuan's arm, and then said, "Sure enough, it's the same as what Xuanjun thought. In this way, it can explain why Mr. Hamaya was able to move here without any trace."

"Ms. Sonoko, have you found anything?" Doita touched his head and asked.

Sonoko liked this opportunity to show off, so she spoke out and told the murderer about the method she had discovered to move Hamaya's body.

"Mr. Hamaya's body was moved using a crossbow and arrows, silk thread, and a large tree in the distance."

"First, use the crossbow and arrows in the room to connect the room and the tree. Then, use Mr. Hamaya's belt to pull him up and hang him on it. When he is in the current position, cut the silk thread. In this way, Mr. Hamaya will be able to appear here without leaving any trace in the venue."

"Finally, the murderer only needs to retract the arrow after completing this process, and there will be no footprints around Mr. Hamaya's death scene."

Sonoko's words solved the mystery of why Hamaya's body appeared here silently, and Conan and Mouri Kogoro also thought of this method of committing the crime when Sonoko was examining the tree.

"Well, the key now is who the murderer is. Also, kid, don't touch the props that may have the criminal's fingerprints on them," Kogoro Mouri nodded seriously, and then punched Conan who was fiddling with the crossbow and arrow.

"It hurts, Uncle Maori, I'm just curious," Conan acted like a child, but still got punched again.

Kogoro Mouri retracted his fist and said unhappily, "Idiot, don't you know that your fingerprints will be left on the crossbow? If there are only your fingerprints on it, then when the police arrive tomorrow, you will become the biggest suspect."

Li Xuan smiled slightly when he saw this scene. Oh, who said that Kogoro Mouri was confused? Isn't this very cautious? After all, he is a criminal investigation person.

When watching it before, Li Xuan was very puzzled as to why Kudo Shinichi could run around the crime scene, touch items at the crime scene, and even fiddle with corpses.

Don't the Metropolitan Police need to maintain basic order at the crime scene? Also, the corpse issue should be handed over to the forensic doctor for judgment, and the related suspected tools should also be confiscated and preserved by the Metropolitan Police as soon as possible.

Sometimes it can be taken away so openly by a person who has no qualifications to handle a case. It is hard not to complain about this and can only be attributed to the halo of the protagonist. A slightly more reasonable inference is that Megure Juzo has a good relationship with Kudo Shinichi's father Kudo Yusaku, and he greeted his subordinates, which made it convenient for Kudo Shinichi.

But if this is the inference, then there is a big problem. The people in the Metropolitan Police Department are unable to solve the case and can only rely on a high school student to solve the case. The credibility of the Metropolitan Police Department will be seriously reduced.

But that was in the animation. Back to the present, Kogoro Mouri immediately taught this elementary school student the god of death a lesson.

Chapter 273 Respectful Maori Kogoro

Now that we know how Hamaya's body was moved, everyone is beginning to speculate where he died.

As for the time of death, it is also very clear. It is the half hour when the acting magicians go back to their rooms to prepare.

After confirming again that there were no clues outside, everyone returned to the venue as the wind and snow began to intensify in the second half of the night. As for Hamaya's body, it was carried by Kogoro Mori and Tou Doi to the refrigerator in the venue for temporary preservation.

Kogoro Mori also confirmed the manner of Hamaya's death.

He died of suffocation. There were obvious marks of strangulation on Hamaya's neck. As for what kind of prop it was, Kogoro Mouri could only see that it was a relatively thin thread, but he was still wondering what kind of thread it was.

Conan entered Miss Tanaka's room again. He thought of the staplers he had just seen in Miss Tanaka's room and the magic rope next to the staplers.

Conan's actions did not escape the attention of everyone present. Xiaolan did not pay much attention to the incident itself. Sonoko, on the other hand, became famous because she had just deduced the method of moving Mr. Hamaya's body, and was now concentrating on finding clues. Xiaolan had been whispering with Li Xuan, and then she saw Conan walking upstairs.

Although Xiaolan is not paying attention to the case, she is also aware of the danger of being alone in the venue. Just because she, Sonoko and Li Xuan are not afraid, it doesn't mean that others are the same. So, the kind-hearted Xiaolan immediately reminds them, "Little Conan, don't run around alone. It's very dangerous now."

After saying that, Xiaolan walked over, picked up Conan, and carried him back to the center of the venue.

Conan was struggling because his deduction process was interrupted, "Xiaolan, Xiaolan, put me down, I discovered a big secret."

But Xiaolan just thought it was childish curiosity that got the better of her, and said, "No, Conan, stay here and don't run around. Also, you have to call me Sister Xiaolan."

Sonoko said to her good sister, "Ran, why is this little kid always running around with Uncle Mori recently? Doesn't Professor Agasa know that detectives sometimes encounter very dangerous situations, like this one now? It's easy for children to get into danger in such scenarios."

Xiaolan also agreed with what Sonoko said, "That's true. Recently, when my dad goes out on a commission, I often see Conan by his side. I think I need to have a good talk with my dad. After all, he is a child of Professor Agasa's relative. It will be very troublesome if something goes wrong."

After hearing what Xiaolan and Sonoko said, Conan looked melancholy. Is he disliked whether he grows bigger or smaller?

He also didn't want to run around with this childish body. He had been looking for the same kind as the two men in black recently, and he actually found some clues, but Uncle Maori, the beer man, was not easy to fool.

When he went out on a commission, he always refused to let him follow. He originally wanted Dr. Agasa to help him persuade Xiaolan to let him stay at the Mori Detective Agency, but he didn't expect to be rejected. Moreover, Mori Kogoro seemed to be very satisfied with this Daxia man named Li Xuan. He had never seen Mori Kogoro be so polite to others, even a little respectful.

Wait, respect!?

At this time, Conan suddenly realized that he had seen Maori Kogoro and Li Xuan present at the same time twice. Thinking back on Maori Kogoro's respectful attitude, Conan suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked Li Xuan's matter.

Now based on Kogoro Mori's attitude, Li Xuan's identity seems a little complicated.

Conan made up his mind that after the case was solved, he would immediately ask his father to investigate Li Xuan's identity and background.

After the Elementary School Student Death God had figured out how to deal with Li Xuan, he began to rethink how to enter Miss Tanaka's room. He was very sure that Miss Tanaka must have a lot to do with Mr. Hamaya's death.

Conan was thinking hard and looking around, and when he saw Li Xuan chatting and laughing with Sonoko and Xiaolan in their seats, he suddenly came up with an idea.

He immediately ran to Kogoro Mouri and pulled at the corner of his clothes.

"Huh? It's you, little brat. What's the matter? This detective is very busy right now and has no time to play with you. If you want to play, go find your sister Xiaolan or sister Sonoko." Kogoro Mouri was also thinking about the motive of this death and trying to find the murderer through reverse thinking, so when he saw Conan tugging at the corner of his clothes, he spoke in a bad mood.

"No, Uncle Maori, I just saw staples and ropes in Sister Tanaka's room and thought of a magic trick. Can you accompany me to get them? Sister Xiaolan said I can't run around alone," Conan stated his direction as simply as possible.

Hearing Conan's words, a gleam flashed in Mouri Kogoro's eyes. His intuition from years of investigating cases told him that Conan's discovery seemed to be a major breakthrough in this murder case. So Mouri Kogoro took Conan to Miss Tanaka and asked to go up to Miss Tanaka's room to check again, because he just remembered something important and wanted to confirm it.

Ms. Tanaka had no objection and responded, "Is that so? No problem, this room is also the venue for the magic show, so I have no reason to stop you."

Several people returned to Miss Tanaka's room again and began to check it. This time, Conan quickly found something wrong, the location of the balcony in this room.

Conan ran to the balcony. The balcony of this room was not very big, but it faced the direction of the snow where Mr. Hamaya's body was. From here, he could also see the big tree in the distance. Putting these clues together, many speculations in Conan's mind were suddenly pieced together.

Next, Conan ran to the sofa in the room and aimed his watch at the back of Kogoro Mouri's neck, who was facing away from him.

Li Xuan had been watching the performance of this elementary school student of the God of Death. When he saw him fiddling with his watch, he knew that his father-in-law was going to suffer again. So in order to reduce the number of times Kogoro Mouri had to see the doctor, Li Xuan spoke to Yuanzi beside him and reminded him, "Yuanzi, look at the direction of the balcony, do those big trees look familiar?"

Li Xuan's words were very clear in the room. When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the balcony, and then saw several big trees in the distance. Yuanzi immediately remembered, "Oh, aren't these big trees the direction of the location of Mr. Hamaya's body?"

As soon as Sonoko said this, everyone immediately knew what she meant, and Miss Tanaka's eyes were a little evasive, but returned to normal the next second.

-Suzuki Sonoko

Chapter 274 The anesthetic needle has expired?

Seeing everyone turning to look at her with scrutiny, Ms. Tanaka immediately began to defend herself, "No, what do you mean by looking at me? You don't think there's something wrong with me, do you?"

But for now everyone is just suspicious. Kogoro Mouri walked to the balcony, looked around, and found that Hamaya's room was actually above Miss Tanaka's room.

Kogoro Mori did not raise this question immediately. He still needed to find the props used by the murderer to carry the body. The crossbow and arrows were only part of it. If silk thread-like props were used to assist, then the murderer's fingerprints would not be left on it.

However, Kogoro Mouri still said something to trick Miss Tanaka, but Miss Tanaka did not fall for it. Instead, she was very angry about being suspected. Kogoro Mouri had to say sorry before the matter ended.

At this time, Conan also discovered the layout of the balcony. According to his memory, the room above was exactly the room of the deceased Mr. Hamaya in the snow. This discovery made it almost possible to accurately judge that Miss Tanaka was the murderer of Mr. Hamaya.

Unfortunately, because Li Xuan reminded Sonoko just now, Kogoro Mouri is now facing him, and his position is also close to the gate. Conan can't find the aiming angle, so he has to shift his target. The next second, Conan found the new target, Doi Tower.

Now he was leaning on the sofa and looking around. Conan carefully walked to the other side of the sofa, aimed at Doita's neck, and fired the anesthetic.

Then, a scene that made Conan dumbfounded appeared. After being injected with an anesthetic injection, Doita did not show any sign of fainting. Conan thought he had injected the wrong shot, so he gave him another injection, but the result was the same. Doita showed no sign of falling down.

Could it be that the anesthetic needle has expired?

Conan had a lot of question marks in his head. There were only three anesthetic needles in his watch today. Two of them had been fired so far. He was hesitating whether to continue with the remaining one. After thinking about it, Conan decided to continue. He couldn't let all three expire.

As it turned out, perhaps the three anesthetic needles were really expired. Even after receiving three anesthetic needles, Doita was still energetic and had no intention of sleeping at all.

Conan even started to complain about Dr. Agasa, "Doctor, just tell me if you need funds. It's really annoying when something goes wrong at the critical moment."

With a helpless look on his face, Conan could only wander around to see if there was any other way to remind Mouri Kogoro.

Li Xuan, who watched the whole thing, almost laughed out loud.

He watched as Conan accurately injected three anesthetic needles into Doi Ta's neck, and then Doi Ta didn't react at all. As for the reason, Li Xuan certainly knew it. How could the anesthetic needles have any effect if they were not injected into a person's body?

In his Golden Crow's divine eyes, Doi Tada is a man who is somewhat similar to the Conan high school version. He is wearing a layer of simulated human skin to play the role of Doi Tada. Three anesthetic needles are injected into the leather case. It would be strange if Doi Tada had any reaction.

Although everyone seemed to have found the key clues, the most crucial one was not found. The balcony of Miss Tanaka's room did face Mr. Hamaya's body and the woods in the distance, but there were no traces of scratches on the balcony railings with tools, so it could not be determined that Miss Tanaka had a motive for committing the crime. It could only be said that the two people's rooms were one above and one below each other, which made them suspects.

Just when everyone was about to leave after searching without any results, Conan keenly noticed that Miss Tanaka seemed to be relieved, and then slightly pulled the quilt on the bed. Although the quilt did not seem to have been moved and Miss Tanaka's action did not attract the attention of others.

Conan's eyes lit up, and he pretended to be the last one to walk to the place where Miss Tanaka's quilt had been. Then he lifted the quilt, and his eyes immediately saw the transparent silk thread inside the quilt, which was the fishing line commonly used by fishermen.

When Miss Tanaka saw Conan's actions, she thought to herself that something was wrong, but it was too late to stop him because Conan had already spoken, "Uncle Maori, this Miss Tanaka has a fishing line here. Is her magic performance fishing?"

After hearing what Conan said, Kogoro Mouri was about to scold him, but then he immediately thought of something: fishing line?

Kogoro Mouri, who had already walked out of the door, turned around and walked back, came to Miss Tanaka's bed, lifted the quilt, and saw a small ball of fishing line. So the confusing clues began to be constructed again.

Soon, a clever method of committing the crime came to his mind, and using this method, he could create a situation where there would be no traces of anyone's footprints at the scene of Mr. Hamaya's death.

Kogoro Mouri looked at Miss Tanaka and found that there was no panic in her eyes. Instead, she was very calm, just a little angry. "Hey! Little friend, these are my magic props. I will use them in the performance later. Now that you have seen them, my show will lose its mystery."

Seeing this scene, Kogoro Mori began to doubt his own judgment, but that kind of technique could indeed be done using fishing line, magic rope, crossbow and arrows.

However, Miss Tanaka did not show any panic, uneasiness or fear, which gave Kogoro Mori a headache. In this situation, either Miss Tanaka really had nothing to do with the case, or her mental strength was so strong that she could remain calm even in the face of complete evidence.

Kogoro Mouri's mind was racing, and Conan on the side was almost dying of anxiety. He urgently wanted to tell Miss Tanaka's motive and method of committing the crime, but the anesthetic needle on his watch was used up and no one could sleep right away.

The case came to a complete standstill. Kogoro Mouri looked lost in thought, Conan was scratching his head, only Li Xuan, Sonoko and Xiaolan were talking and laughing, and Miss Tanaka was fiddling with the magic props she brought with her. Because of Mr. Hamaya's death, the magic exchange meeting was stopped, but if the murderer could not be found, Miss Tanaka felt that it would be better to continue.

Anyway, she has brought out all the props she will need, so she doesn't have to go back to the room alone.

Doi Takashi, who had been acting as an air man, also said that he did not need to go back to the room to get props, and could even perform on stage now. However, he said that he wanted to see the unpublished magic show of Haloyf first.

This video is on the computer, and I originally planned to post it for everyone to enjoy after everyone has finished performing.

No one had any objections, so Doita walked over to the computer and started looking for Haloyef's magic video to play. But the strange thing was that Doita looked confused and seemed to have not found it.
