The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 413 Guidance

Therefore, Bai Masong decided not to state the result directly as he did before, but to focus on guidance.

Bai Masong calmed down his tone and pointed at the pile of things in front of him and Sato Miwako with a bit of gentleness, and asked Sato Miwako,

"Look at what these things are down there?"

"These things?"

Miwako Sato looked at the items scattered on the ground.

She was about to answer when the voice of Inspector Megure came from the side.

"Brother Bai Ma, Sato, what are you looking at there? Did you find any new clues?"

As he spoke, Inspector Megure walked over and looked at the pile of things in front of Hakubamatsu and Sato Miwako with confusion.

When Inspector Megure saw this, he found that they were all very familiar things. He couldn't help but smile and sighed,

"Lemon soda candy, long-line gummy candy, square candy, miso senbei, these are all things we ate when we were young, but now we can hardly see them anymore. I really miss them."

Takagi Wataru also smiled and took over the conversation from Inspector Megure.

"This floor of the hotel is designed in a nostalgic style, so they chose coin-operated TVs. Even the snacks they provide are from long ago."

"hehe,"

Inspector Megure smiled slightly.

“The design of this hotel is unique and thoughtful!”

.......

Inspector Megure and a few others were discussing the nostalgic style of the hotel, while Sato Miwako was wondering why Hakuba Matsu reminded her to pay attention to these things.

Suddenly, she noticed something "unique" among these snacks - an ice cream!

She reached out her hand, picked up the ice cream, held it in front of her, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, she said in a deep voice to Bai Masong next to her,

"This ice cream is not from the old brand, but a new type of ice cream that was recently released."

Bai Masong listened to what Sato Miwako said and a smile appeared on his face.

His eyes signaled her to continue.

Sato Miwako nodded, took a deep breath, and continued,

"So, there must be something wrong with this ice cream. It's very likely that it..."

Just as Sato Miwako was about to continue speaking, Maori Kogoro interrupted her.

"What could be wrong with that?"

Maori Kogoro didn't pay much attention to the ice cream issue.

"Maybe the deceased Ms. Fujimura wanted to eat some ice cream, but she didn't like the ones delivered by the hotel, so she brought one up with her own."

"Then why didn't she eat it?"

Sato Miwako felt a little speechless after listening to Kogoro Mori's somewhat unreasonable words, so she could only continue to ask questions in return.

"Of course she had just bought it and before she could eat it, she was killed by the murderer."

Kogoro Maori said as a matter of course.

After listening to this, Inspector Megure felt that what Kogoro Mori said made a lot of sense, and nodded in agreement.

Although Sato Miwako knew that this was wrong, she couldn't think of how to explain it at the moment, so she had to remain silent.

Bai Masong smiled secretly when he saw this.

Sato Miwako's current situation is the inevitable path for her growth.

People like Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori are not uncommon. Even if they don't raise questions, the suspect himself will raise questions.

The ability to reason develops gradually amidst the sound of doubts.

So now, she needs some tips.

Thinking of this, Bai Masong coughed twice and reached out to pat the TV.

When Miwako Sato heard the cough, she immediately noticed Hakuba Matsu's actions.

TV set?

Miwako Sato was a little confused. She knew the key was to turn on the TV, but how could she do that with just ice cream?

and many more!

She suddenly realized that the TV was right above the pile of snacks!

Is this a coincidence? Or did the murderer do it on purpose?

If she did it on purpose, what was her purpose?

Miwako Sato narrowed her eyes and thought so.

She looked at where the deceased fell, and then looked at where the snacks were scattered. There was a coffee table and a distance about one person's width between the two.

Seeing this, Sato Miwako understood that these snacks must have been deliberately placed there by the murderer.

In this case, could it be that the ice cream is needed to start the TV, or a coin-operated mechanism, and in order to conceal the existence of the ice cream, the murderer scattered the snacks in this place?

But what could the mechanism be?

She looked at the TV again. Everything was normal. It was just an ordinary old coin-operated desktop TV.

Eh? !

Why is there a place reflecting light?

Miwako Sato looked closely and found that there were traces of water stains on the rotation button of the TV and the platform next to it.

Water stains and ice cream, there seems to be some connection...

Miwako Sato frowned slightly, scratched her head, and a trace of distress appeared on her face.

Looking at her like this, Bai Masong knew that she was close.

Bai Masong's expression remained unchanged. He squatted down calmly and began to check the snacks again.

The first thing he picked up was the long-lasting candy.

At first, Sato Miwako caught this from the corner of her eye, but didn't take it too seriously.

But then, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Yes, play the long game!

She suddenly thought of a case she had encountered before.

That was the case she and Bai Masong encountered when they were invited to dinner by Chunjing Fuchuen.

In order to create an alibi that he was in the room at the time, the murderer used the ice to melt into water, causing the paper to soften and break, allowing the sliding door connected to the paper to be pulled back to its original position.

Before the ice cream becomes soft, it is solid. You can use it to fix the silk thread of the long-line gummy candy, and then use the silk thread of the long-line gummy candy to clamp the coin.

When the ice cream softens, it becomes liquid and it will fall off, causing...

However, those three people can do this, but we still don’t know who the murderer is.

Thinking of this, Sato Miwako raised her head.

"Inspector Megure, I want to...eh? Where are Inspector Megure and the others?"

Just as Sato Miwako was about to speak, she realized that there were only herself, Bai Masong, and several evidence collectors from the Forensic Science Department at the crime scene.

"Inspector Megure and his team felt that they couldn't find anything here, so they decided to question the three suspects again to see if there were any discrepancies between their testimonies and Mr. Maori's words."
