Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

"Mr. Kiba?!"

Kiba's face was gloomy. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He turned and left without looking back.

When the media reporters found that they couldn't get the news, they snorted in dissatisfaction and began to whisper.

"Keep silent..."

"But if this is the case, then Imperial Wrestling will be doomed..."

"Well, that's for sure..."

In the room that served as the crime scene, Inspector Megure, Detective Takagi, Mori, as well as the bystanders Xiaolan and Xiaoai all focused their attention on the four people found by Kiba.

Maori's gaze lingered on each of the four people.

(Based on the situation, the murderer should be among these four people... Who is it...?)

Officer Megure coughed dryly and said seriously: "Well, start with the person on the right. Tell us your name and what you were doing around 7:20..."

"Oh, oh..." The bearded man on the right was the 36-year-old professional wrestler Niu Ruyan. He stuttered, "My name is Niu Ruyan! I'll be at the stadium at 7:20 to watch Muchang's match... He'll get angry if I don't go to his match."

Detective Takagi was taking notes in his work log with a pen.

Officer Megure looked at Ushiruyan and asked, "Is anyone watching with you?"

Niu Ruyan shook his head: "No, I'm the only one... Maybe someone in the audience remembers me, but everyone is so focused on watching the match, so..."

He shrugged helplessly.

The second suspect was none other than Hiroyuki Sakuma, who came to remind Nagase Hyouta to go to the game. He said nervously, "I, I was also watching the match at Kiba alone... My name is Hiroyuki Sakuma! But as soon as the match at Kiba was over, I came here to call Nagase! Because the next match was Nagase's..."

Inspector Megure turned his gaze to the last two suspects wearing wolf masks, and then stopped at the suspect on the right, "Next one, you who are wearing a wolf mask! If possible, I hope you can take the mask off and talk..."

Detective Takagi stopped writing and reminded Officer Megure: "Ah, Inspector, he doesn't understand Japanese. The werewolf is Mexican."

Saxima Hiroyuki also echoed: "Besides, he still wears a mask in front of children and girls..."

"It's okay, Sakuma..."

The werewolf interrupted Hiroyuki Saxima's words and untied the rope behind the mask with his backhand, "Mr. Maori and these children already know my true identity!"

After taking off the mask, Ogami Jingqing let out a sigh of relief.

“Ahhhh——?!”

A high-pitched voice burst out from Detective Takagi's wide-open mouth. He pointed at the Ogami Keiharu who had taken off his wolf gear with an unbelievable look on his face. Looking at the face that was obviously Asian, he screamed: "You are the Ogami Keiharu who looks handsome but has poor skills?! You are the werewolf?!!"

Inspector Megure and others looked at Takagi speechlessly.

Even a tough wrestler like Ogami Keiharu could only smile and say, "Ah, yes..." after hearing what Takagi said.

Detective Takagi was deeply shocked and murmured, "No, no way?! Wasn't it in the morning newspaper?"

He frantically pulled out today's sports newspaper from his suit pocket and turned the front-page headline: "Werewolf swallowed a cow in one gulp!!!" to show it to the great god Jingqing, "Look, there's a photo of you and the werewolf standing together in the newspaper!! How do you explain this?!"

Okami Keiharu pointed at Hiroyuki Sakuma beside him and explained sheepishly: "Ah, that's this Sakuma! In order to prevent the true identity of the werewolf from being exposed, he often acts as my stand-in to throw smoke bombs for the reporters and fans who are scattered around the office and the competition venue!"

Detective Takagi said with stars in his eyes: "So that's what happened..."

Chapter 181 The Wrestler Who Shakes His Head

Officer Megure snatched the newspaper from Detective Takagi, looked at the photo carefully, and said puzzledly: "However, the mask just now seems a little different from the mask in the photo..."

Okami Jingqing explained: "That's a mask for eating! It's thin, with few decorations, and the mouth is opened wider to make eating easier."

"So that's it!" said Inspector Megure suddenly.

Detective Takagi, who is a wrestling enthusiast, grinned and said, "But I never thought that the wolf man was actually a great player...ah, I always felt sorry for the great player, he has such a good appearance and image, but his skills are so bad..."

While they were talking, the last suspect had already taken off the wolf mask on his head, revealing his true face. He was a young man with silver hair, fair skin, and slightly swollen eyelids. He turned his neck, shook the wolf mask in his hand, and said, "Is this all right?"

"Hmm?" Detective Takagi's emotions, which had just calmed down, became excited again because of the young man who took off his mask. "Ah, you, you are the Leonardo Rossi who disappeared after losing to the werewolf in the masked vs. masked match?!"

Leonardo smiled, "Oh! Yes!"

"Fake face against fake face?" Inspector Megure asked puzzledly.

Detective Takagi said excitedly: "It's the Mexican mask-removing competition. The loser must take off the mask!"

Inspector Megure broke out in a cold sweat at his own ignorance.

Detective Takagi stared at Leonardo with burning eyes: "Oh, that's surprising... I thought you had retired..."

Mao Li glanced at Detective Takagi and thought to himself: "I'm surprised you're so good at wrestling..."

Ogami Keiharu looked at Leonardo and said with a smile: "Leonardo decided to retire when he lost to me, but under the persuasion of Kiba, he put on a wolf mask with a new colorful ring and made a comeback in Japan..."

Niu Ruyan interjected with some envy: "Now he is very popular as a shadow werewolf and has become the challenger of the rookie challenge after Nagase."

Zuo Xionghaozhi said in a depressed mood: "Who would have thought that something like this would happen..."

Officer Megure's face turned pale. He looked at Ogami Keiharu and Leonardo and returned to the previous topic: "So, you are going to

Where is the time for division?"

Ogami Keiharu calmly replied, "I'm about to compete, so I'm doing warm-up exercises in the preparation room for foreign wrestlers alone... The other foreign wrestlers are all watching the match at Kiba."

"So, you also went to watch Mr. Kiba's game?" Inspector Megure looked at Leonardo.

Leonardo nodded: "Yes!"

Inspector Megure frowned, "Well... that means none of the four of you have an alibi... but if we can't get the werewolf mask, we can't commit this crime... so the murderer is one of you two who can freely enter and leave the preparation room of foreign wrestlers?"

Ogami Keiharu explained this question: "Ah, no, the werewolf mask was placed in a bag with other masks and hidden in the toilet used by the staff! This way I could hide the mask secretly, otherwise I would be easily suspected of being a werewolf when entering and leaving the preparation room of foreign wrestlers..."

"I see……"

"Of course, the bag has been handed over to police for identification," said Ogami Jingqing.

Inspector Megure nodded, then glanced at the bloodstain left by the deceased on the wall and muttered: "This is ridiculous... The victim should at least leave us a few words..."

"Hmm?" Xiaolan suddenly let out a low cry, as if she remembered something.

Xiao Ai then looked up at Xiao Lan and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Xiao Lan?"

Xiaolan bent down and whispered to Xiaoai: "Didn't I just say that professional wrestling moves are very popular in our karate club? The name of that boxing move sounds like 'a word or two'..."

"Could it be 'One Jump Heavy Attack'? That's what Karas used!"

Detective Takagi suddenly interrupted. He happened to be standing next to the two of them, so he heard what Xiaolan said.

Xiaolan smiled sheepishly, "Aha, no..."

Detective Takagi guessed again: "Is it Burundi's 'One Palm to Decide the World'? Or is it Vanks's 'One Heavy Hammer'?"

Xiaolan shook her head: "Neither... It seems to be a move of a Japanese professional wrestler..."

Detective Takagi's eyes sparkled: "Ah, that must be Musashi's..."

"Ah! Ah!" Inspector Megure stood behind Detective Takagi and coughed twice, giving him a "heavy blow" on the head, reminding him that it was working hours now and he should stop chatting here.

Poor Detective Takagi had a bump on his head and tears welled up in his eyes. Xiaolan and Xiaoai both turned their heads away apologetically.

After warning Detective Takagi, Officer Megure turned to the four suspects and said, "Okay, we still need to conduct some more investigations here. Please go to other rooms with Detective Takagi and wait for news!"

The four suspects had no objection. Ogami Keiji and Leonardo each put on a wolf mask, followed Ushiru Yan and Sakuma Hiroyuki, opened the door and left the room.

As soon as the four of them left the room, the media reporters who were chatting and waiting outside the cordon immediately came to their senses, raised the cameras hanging on their chests and started taking pictures of them.

Maori immediately turned to Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, take Xiaoai out with you too!"

"it is good."

Xiaolan pulled Xiaoai and followed Detective Takagi out of the room.

Xiaolan caught up with Detective Takagi, who looked dejected, and whispered: "I'm sorry! Detective Takagi..."

Gao Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Nothing..."

As a few people were walking forward, they suddenly came towards them with two sturdy men in sportswear. One of them had most of his face covered with thick bloody bandages and his chin was swollen and bruised. He was limping towards them with the help of his companions.

"Are you okay, Lushan..." Ogami Jingqing, who was wearing a wolf mask, stepped forward and asked.

"Hmm?" The injured man looked around with his bloodshot eyes outside the bandages, and finally stopped at the face of his companion who was supporting him, "Oh?"

Ogami Jingqing reached out and gently patted Lushan's shoulder: "Why are you wrapped like a mummy?"

Shikayama then realized that he had asked the wrong person, so he turned his head to where Ogami Keiharu was, glanced at Ogami Keiharu who was wearing a wolf mask, and said with a twitching face: "Ah, ah... It's Ogami... Such a small injury is nothing... By the way, is it true that Nagase was killed?"

"Oh, yes..." Ogami Keiharu nodded.

Xiao Ai looked at Lushan, whose face was wrapped like a mummy, and then at the great god Jingqing wearing a wolf mask. She suddenly noticed something and her mind raced as she understood a lot of things.

She looked up at Detective Takagi: "Hey, Officer Takagi!"

"Hmm?" Detective Takagi came back to his senses and looked down at Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai said, "I have two things I want to ask you..."

Detective Takagi squatted down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Ai whispered in his ear: "Is the masked man..."

"Hmm..." Detective Takagi laughed after hearing this, "Ah, yes! I heard that it was like that at the beginning... Masks are usually like that! Of course, werewolf masks are also like that!"

Ai's guess was confirmed by Detective Takagi, and her brows immediately relaxed. She turned around and ran back.

……

The reporters who were talking and chatting outside the cordon noticed that the four wrestlers who had just left were walking back. They were stunned for a moment, and then they raised their cameras and took pictures.

"Look! Those four guys are entering the room again!"

"Come to think of it, Maori Kogoro was also in this room just now..."

"Ah, is this the mystery show of the famous detective Maori Kogoro?!"

“We can’t miss this!!”

I don't know who said this, but it immediately drove all the media reporters crazy. They crowded across the cordon and rushed to the room where the accident happened.

"Huh?" Detective Takagi, Detective Chiba and Xiaolan were shocked when they noticed something unusual. They slowed down and were blocked at the door by a crazy media reporter who broke through the police's blockade before they could enter the room.

“Please let us interview you!!”

"Is this a mystery show?!"

“Let us in!!”

A group of media reporters pushed each other and tried to break into the room, past Detective Takagi, Detective Chiba and Xiaolan who were blocking the door.

Detective Takagi gritted his teeth, left Detective Chiba and Xiaolan behind without any loyalty, and rushed into the room quickly, "Chi, Chiba!! Don't let anyone in!!"

As he said this, he was about to close the door and leave them outside to deal with the media reporters.

Xiaolan said anxiously: "Ah, wait a minute, I..."

The sound of the door closing blocked her voice. Detective Takagi leaned against the door, let out a long sigh, and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

In the room, four suspects stood in a row, looking suspiciously at Maori, who was sitting on a folding chair with his head lowered next to the blood-stained wall. Among them, Oogami Keiharu and Leonardo had already taken off their wolf masks and were holding them in their hands.

"What are you planning, Mr. Policeman?" Niu Ruyan muttered. Zuo Xionghaozhi frowned and said, "You're calling us here again..."

Ogami Jingqing raised his eyebrows and asked: "Do you already know who the murderer is?"

Officer Megure nodded and said, "Well, about the same..."

"No, I don't know yet." Mao Li denied what Officer Megure said. Officer Megure turned his head and looked at Mao Li who was lowering his head, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, Mao..."

Maori said in a gentle voice: "But we will know soon... Please put on the wolf masks like the murderer, and come in front of me. First, the real werewolf master, put on the mask you are holding..."

Officer Megure turned back to look at Ogami Keiei and said, "Please do as I say!"

"Oh, ah..." The great god Jingjing put the wolf mask he had just taken off back on his head and tied the rope.

Mao Li ordered: "Okay, come in front of me... closer... closer... closer..."

Oogami Keiharu did as he was told, and finally stood in front of Maori and asked, "What should I do next?"

"No, that's enough. Next is Mr. Sakuma! Please put on Mr. Ogami's mask and do the same as I just said..."

Zuo Xionghaozhi replied with doubt: "Ah, okay..."

Ogami Keiharu took off the wolf mask and handed it to Hiroyuki Sakuma, who put it on his head skillfully and tied the rope, then walked towards Mori. He also walked smoothly through the narrow path formed by the long table and several bags to Mori.

Detective Takagi leaned close to Officer Megure's ear and whispered, "Inspector, can you tell the difference between these two people?"
