The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 172: Investigation Continues

Chunjing Fengchuan was laughing triumphantly over there.

However, his granddaughter, Kikue Tanaka, did not give him any face at all.

She snorted coldly and pointed it out directly.

"What a great magician, now he's just an old man."

“I almost died on stage the other day!”

Listening to his granddaughter scolding him like this, Chun Jing Feng Chuan was not annoyed at all, but just sighed slightly.

"Oh, I'm old and no longer useful."

Although Harui Fuden didn't have much reaction, Xiaolan and Conan beside her were shocked.

That’s right, this kid Conan is here too.

The two of them, who had been hanging around crime scenes for years, had already imagined a 100,000-word plot based on Tanaka Kikue's words.

"Could it be that someone deliberately..."

Before Xiaolan could say anything, Conan couldn't help but ask.

There was no way. When it came to this topic, his detective heart began to stir.

Hearing Conan's question, Harui Fuden and Tanaka Kikue were also stunned.

Then, Chun Jing Feng Chuan smiled, waved his hand and said,

"no no."

"That time, it was purely because I was old. Unlocking all the props took a lot of energy. In the end, I didn't have time to open the lid before I passed out."

"It's all thanks to Mr. Hakuba and Ms. Sato for saving my life."

Harui Fuden described his mistake very calmly, as if he didn't care at all.

However, Tanaka Kikue was very concerned and reminded,

"So, grandpa, don't go on stage to perform so easily in the future."

"Don't make a sudden comeback just because you're angry with others!"

Listening to her words, Chun Jing Feng Chuan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"No more, no more."

As he was talking, Harui Fuden thought of something else and said to Sato Miwako,

"Ms. Sato, I wanted to thank you this time, but this happened to me."

"So, this time doesn't count. Next time, the old man will make good arrangements."

"No, no, no."

Sato Miwako said quickly,

"Mr. Chunjing, your intention is enough. There is really no need to go to such lengths."

After hearing this, Chun Jing Feng Chuan just smiled and did not answer.

At this time, Xiaolan suddenly remembered something, looked at Conan and asked curiously,

"Conan, why are you here today?"

Xiaolan's meaning is very clear. Normally, when you see a murder case, you run very fast.

Why am I staying with them today and listening to them bragging?

"Yes, Conan, are you feeling unwell today?"

Xiaolan's words also made Sato Miwako realize that this seemed to be the case.

After all, usually the kid was either wandering around the site or following Bai Ma Song around.

What's going on today?

Listening to Xiaolan and Ran's questions, Conan said cutely,

"Nothing, I just don't feel like running around today."

He said there was really nothing unusual.

He's just plain lazy.

After all, Bai Masong is more capable than himself and can solve cases faster, so why should he get involved?

........................

When Sato Miwako and others were chatting happily.

On the other side, as mentioned before, on Baimasong's side, the scene was almost like a secret room.

Therefore, Bai Masong began to look for a way to crack it.

However, this room has basically been searched.

Basically, it is difficult to find any clues.

So, Bai Masong decided to go out and take a look.

At the same time, Bai Masong thought that it was impossible for the known criminal to come in from the corridor outside, unless the waitress Anxi Kyoko was lying.

Then, the criminal must have come in by water.

The water flowing outside the window is only about fifty centimeters deep, and it is impossible to dive at this depth.

Well, the only way to get in is by boat.

Thinking of this, Bai Masong said to Officer Megure,

"Officer, the criminal most likely came in by water. Let's ask the guests in other rooms to see if they saw anything?"

"Ah."

Officer Megure agreed with Hakuba Matsu's words, and immediately instructed Takagi Wataru,

"Takagi, go check on the guests in other rooms and ask them if they saw anyone riding the food delivery boat over there either."

"Yes!"

Takagi Wataru agreed and went downstairs to take people to investigate.

Watching Takagi Wataru go to ask other guests, Hakuba Matsu felt a little hopeless.

Bai Masong always felt that the criminal should not be standing on the boat.

After all, this method is too conspicuous.

However, the result will only be known after Inspector Megure and others ask questions.

Before that, Bai Masong decided to go and check out room number three first!

That is, the room of Nobuo Iwama, Keizo Kaneda and Ryuichi Arai.

The room was opposite, and when Bai Masong went there, he would inevitably run into Sato Miwako and others who were chatting.

Seeing Bai Ma Song coming over here, Sato Miwako stepped forward and asked,

"What, is the case solved?"

Although Miwako Sato was not involved in the case today, as a police officer, she was still very concerned about the case.

"not yet,"

Bai Ma Song shook his head.

Then, he put his hand on Miwako's head and rubbed it.

"very soon."

"Ah."

Miwako Sato blushed a little and hummed softly.

Bai Masong did not continue talking to them, but walked into room number three.

As soon as he came in, Baimasong began to look carefully at the things around him.

First of all, there is a lot of food here.

The four people of Baimasong do not eat as much as the three people here.

First, Bai Masong noticed that there were three servings of puffer fish caviar on the table.

It seems that the puffer fish caviar of the deceased Keizo Kaneda must have been contaminated in the room.

and many more......

wrong!

Bai Masong's gaze was focused on one point, which was a pair of chopsticks on the table.

Bai Masong discovered that there were three pairs of chopsticks on the table, but one pair of chopsticks had been pulled out and the paper bag wrapping the chopsticks was placed aside.

There is also a pair of chopsticks placed on the chopstick rack, with no paper bag next to them.

The last pair of chopsticks was not pulled out and remained unopened.

Bai Masong found two problems with the three pairs of chopsticks.

The first one is, three chopsticks and two paper bags, where did the last paper bag go?

Secondly, there is a pair of chopsticks that are unopened, and this pair is most likely the chopsticks of the deceased Keizo Kaneda.

So, the question is, if he hadn't eaten much, why did he have puffer caviar on his fingers?

What is the purpose of the missing paper cover of chopsticks?

Bai Masong thought about it until he saw two small holes on the window.

The windows are of the left and right sliding type, and the small holes are at the edge of one window and at the junction of the window and the wall.

Combined with the disappearing paper cover, Bai Masong instantly thought of a method.

With this technique, you can control the closing of the window.

If combined with a recorder, then the alibi would be done.

It seems that he must be the murderer.

So, what is the modus operandi?

Bai Masong began to frown again and think.

At this time, Baimasong seemed to have thought of something.

He walked out of Room 3 and saw Anxi Jingzi standing outside. He asked her,

"Miss Anxi, may I ask how big the largest boat in your store is?"
