The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 364 Another message before death?

"What the kid said actually makes some sense, but this way, we have to investigate a lot more people."

After hearing this, Kogoro Maori's face darkened and he nodded.

Then he suggested,

"Why don't we go and interrogate the guests present and see if we can find out anything."

"Okay."

Otaki Goro agreed with Mori Kogoro's proposal.

At this time, Hattori Heiji's voice came from the side.

"I think we should take a look at Mr. Ed's body first before making any plans."

See the body?

Kogoro Mouri and Goro Ōtaki turned around and saw that Hattori Heiji and Conan were already squatting in front of the victim's body.

"Hey, hey, hey, kid from Osaka, what do you mean by that?"

Kogoro Maori asked directly.

"Uncle Maori, this is it!"

Conan acted cute and pointed at the left hand of the corpse.

Kogoro Mori and others looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that Ed's left hand was tightly holding his belt.

“It’s a belt.”

Maori Kogoro murmured.

"And his right hand also seemed to be making some kind of gesture. Was he going to play rock-paper-scissors with someone else?"

Conan continued to act innocently.

Everyone looked in the direction Conan was talking and found that Mr. Ed's right hand indeed made a strange gesture - the little finger and ring finger were bent down, while the index finger and middle finger were together and stretched out casually, and the thumb was also resting on the side of the two fingers.

"boom!"

Kogoro Mouri threw another punch, hitting Conan on the head.

"Ouch!"

"Little brat! I told you not to mess around!"

Kogoro Mouri yelled at Conan, then repeated the same operation and threw him aside.

This time, Otaki Goro didn't bother to care about Conan anymore. Instead, he looked at Hattori Heiji with a serious face.

"Hey, Heiji, could this be..."

"That's right,"

Hattori Heiji nodded, confirming Otaki Goro's idea.

"If this is as expected, it should be the message left by the deceased before his death!"

As he said that, Hattori Heiji turned his head and asked the person next to him,

"Brother Song, what do you think?"

But when he turned around, he saw nothing.

"Eh? Where's Song-ge?"

This time, Hattori Heiji asked the people next to him with real confusion.

He Ye and Xiao Lan looked at each other and shook their heads. They didn't notice when Bai Ma Song disappeared.

At this time, Sato Miwako returned to Hattori Heiji's doubts,

"A Song just said he was going out to take a look. He must have found some clues."

"clue?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned. Could it be that Brother Song saw through this message before his death?

Then should he be looking for methods to solve the case and the murderer?

"Cough cough,"

Maori Kogoro coughed twice and said,

"Let's not worry about that boy Bai Ma for now, let's discuss the issue of the pre-death message first."

"Yeah, that's what Mr. Maori said."

Otaki Goro also agreed with Mori Kogoro's statement.

"Then I'll start."

Maori Kogoro frowned slightly and said seriously,

"I think what Mr. Ed meant is actually the belt, or the waistband."

"So, the murderer is obvious. He is the former boxing champion who once won the boxing championship and the gold belt - Mr. Ricardo Barre!"

hiss~!

Kogoro Mori's reasoning made everyone gasp.

Otaki Goro was instantly convinced by Maori Kogoro.

"Mr. Maori is right!"

Otaki Goro immediately confirmed what Maori Kogoro said, and then immediately asked,

"Then how did Mr. Ricardo Barre kill Mr. Ed on the fifth floor?"

“Um, I haven’t figured this out yet.”

Kogoro Maori scratched his head and said stiffly.

Seeing this, Otaki Goro looked at Hattori Heiji again. After all, Hattori Heiji usually works in Osaka and he has the most cooperation with him.

He was still very convinced about the son of his boss's boss's boss's boss.

"I don't think it's right,"

Hattori Heiji shook his head and expressed his opinion.

"Although the belt can explain the statement made by Uncle Maori, the gesture of the deceased's right hand cannot be explained."

"If we have to use a gesture to indicate that it is Mr. Ricardo Barre, then shouldn't the number be four?"

“This, this seems to make sense.”

Otaki Goro also scratched his head in embarrassment.

His words left Hattori Heiji and Conan speechless.

Especially Conan, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, why all these police inspectors leading the investigation were the same as Inspector Megure.

As long as one person puts forward an opinion, they will say yes, yes, right, right. Then when another person refutes it, they will say "it seems to make sense" or "it seems to be like this."

Can you have a little opinion of your own?

"I understand!"

Maori Kogoro slammed his palm hard at this moment.

"I know what that gesture means!"

"What is it, Mr. Maori?"

Otaki Goro asked quickly.

"Hehe! It's just baseball!"

Maori Kogoro said confidently,

"Believe it or not, Ed's right hand only has three fingers, and baseball pitching also only uses three fingers!"

"Doesn't this mean something? Doesn't this directly hint at the hand gesture used for pitching?"

"So, in that case..."

Otaki Goro also became excited.

"That's right,"

Maori Kogoro nodded affirmatively.

"The murderer is Mr. Mike Nord, a former professional baseball player who was said to be able to pitch at a speed of 160 kilometers!"

Just when Maori Kogoro and Otaki Goro were full of confidence and excitement, Hattori Heiji poured a bucket of cold water on them.

"What you said seems to be right."

"But what's the explanation for that belt?"

"Mr. Mike doesn't seem to have anything to do with belts, does he?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mori and Kogoro became stiff again instantly.

"It seems to make sense."

Otaki Goro scratched his head awkwardly again, feeling like his scalp was about to break.

At this time, Conan came forward with a smile on his face and said,

"Uncle Maori, Officer Otaki, can we please stop focusing on Mr. Lei and the other two?"

"Didn't I say before that the three of them are actually no longer suspects?"

"Well, what the kid said makes sense."

Otaki Goro nodded again.

Indeed, they had already ruled out these three people before, but now they kept discussing them. Assuming that they were the ones referred to by the code, it really didn't make any sense.
