Then, Megumi shamelessly asked Conan to help her change her clothes, and Tamanosuke " taught " her a lesson. Later, because they had to rehearse, everyone watched them rehearse their lines together in the stands.

Conan was not in the mood to watch these performances because he was sizing up the troupe. Of course, Minamoto Masayoshi wasn't in the mood to watch either, because he was still thinking about the explosion of his superpower. The main reason was that no matter how much energy he gathered in his eyes, he couldn't enter the state just now. That state almost made him feel like he had rolled his eyes. Just as the Origin Cultivator said, the following is from Grandfather:

I don't believe that anything that surpasses common sense has happened to my grandfather. I always thought that my grandfather was lying to the children, even though I was already thirteen when he told me. I'm a complete materialist. I'm even a little paranoid in this aspect. Perhaps it was because I studied Marxist-Leninism in my early years. Even if something supernatural happened, I never believed in gods and demons. That's why my father always said I was shared. He and his grandfather had always scoffed at that doctrine because he thought that capitalist democratic society was good, while his grandfather wanted the world to return to the primitive era, back to the era of Fuxi and Tenshou. (The above anti-revolutionary remarks have nothing to do with the author, Ah Yin.)

"What do you think is wrong, Origin Lord?”Conan asked the stunned Gensho Masayoshi. "What's wrong?" Did a case happen?" "I'm asking about this troupe," Conan said."I keep feeling a little strange." Think about it. This drama is about the arrest of the thief, Edo Boy, by the police. After the protagonist, Itaro, has concluded the crimes committed by the thief, Edo Boy, who is spread all over Japan, he narrows the scope of the suspect to a member of a tour group. He didn't expect this Edo kid to be someone else. It turned out that he was the twin brother of the murderer that everyone thought was the murderer. Finally, the entire traveling troupe embarked on another part of their journey. Although the title of the story was called Itaro's Patrol, wasn't it strange that the main character, Itaro, had mistaken the culprit for someone else?”

Gen Masayoshi smiled." Don't you think it's very similar?”"What?" Conan asked. Are you saying that there are times when I mistake the culprit?”"Don't worry, I'm just saying that the content of the script is very similar to this tour group.”Conan was shocked and did not dare to voice his guess.""You mean the real Edo boy is in this troupe?”

"That's what I think, but it's not just that."”"Not only that? What do you mean?" Conan asked. "Although I don't know who the Edo Kid is, I think Ito Tamanosuke should know, right?"”"How do you know?" Conan was shocked.”"Do you know the ending of the original script?"”Conan suddenly realized, Could it be?”"That's right." Yuan Zhengmian nodded.”

"Conan, how was it?" Megumi Ito jumped up and asked Conan. Everyone applauded and cheered. "Can I treat my friend to some juice, brother?" Megumi asked.”"Of course you can," said Ito Tamanosuke. Oh right, Xiao Hui, we still need to do some retouching. Could you please get Master Jinshi here?”Megumi Ito immediately went to look for Tsukio Chiishi. After a scream, the result was the same as the original plot. Iron Man Kinishi died in his room.

Everyone rushed to the room near the stone. Xiao Hui cried and said,"Brother, Master Jinshi is dead!”Then, he immediately threw himself into Tamanosuke's arms. "Don't come in, everyone! Contact the police immediately!"”Tamanosuke, who had wanted to come in to look for something, was blocked by Genshou Masayoshi. Conan also wanted to come in and check the body with Yuan Zhengmian. Yuan Zhengmian knew that this was not good. After all, even adults could not come in, let alone children. At this time, Ito Tamanosuke showed an uneasy expression. Although he couldn't enter the room, he still carefully observed the room.

"Are you looking for something, Mr. Ito Tamanosuke?”Minamoto Masayoshi asked coldly, as if Tamanosuke was a criminal. Although he knew that he was not the murderer, Tamanosuke's behavior was so suspicious that it would not make sense if he did not do something about it. Tamanosuke said in a panic,"No…nothing."?”

Ten minutes later, Officer Megami arrived. He was happy to see Genshoji, because the case would be solved soon. "Brother Yuan, you're here too! Although you're on vacation, I'll have to trouble you again this time!”Mu Mu said. "It's alright," said Yuan Zhengmian. Then, as usual, Megure introduced,""The victim is the 35-year-old scriptwriter of this troupe, Tsukio Konishih.”Tamanosuke nodded." Yes, officer. You're right."”

At this moment, Xiao Lan called out," Conan, you were worried because you couldn't find me anywhere. You're really here."”Conan turned around and smiled innocently.""Officer Yuan brought me here." Conan immediately pushed all the blame to Genji Masayoshi. Xiaolan looked at Genji Masayoshi angrily and said,""Little Zheng, could you at least give me a call when you bring them out?”Minamoto Masayoshi glared at Conan, then smiled apologetically and said,""I'm sorry!" The handsome man's smile was still useful. Xiao Lan was no longer angry. However, Yuan Masayoshi also felt a sense of jealousy. As for whether this jealousy belonged to Conan or someone else, it was unknown.

Maori Kogoro, who had rushed over with Xiaolan, greeted Megure. Megure did not ask Maori about the case because he did not need to look for anyone else since Genji Masayoshi was here. "What do you think, Brother Yuan?" asked Mu Mu.”" The only thing we can confirm is that the time of death was an hour ago," Genshasa said." The other thing we can confirm is that the murderer must be someone from this troupe. I'm guessing that the Edo kid is the one who killed this Tsukio Chikuishi." Because Takaishi-san knew the identity of the Edo boy, he probably used this to threaten him, which led to his death.”

"Are you talking about the famous thief, Edo Boy?" Megure was shocked.”"Yes, because the police had asked the people in the troupe about the Edo Kid before this." Right, Leader Tamanosuke?" "Yes, but my guild members definitely have nothing to do with that thief." Tamanosuke said worriedly.”

"Although it's your deduction, I still have to follow the steps." Since the time of death was an hour ago, where were you an hour ago?”Tamanosuke's face was still as gloomy as ever when Megure asked,"" We..." Ito Megumi immediately said on behalf of her brother,""We're all rehearsing our new play on stage.”"That's true, but I think the murderer must have used a certain method to kill Takaishi-san." The only time he had during rehearsal was when he changed his clothes and when he used the Nairo.”Conan said,"Officer Megure, please look for the disk." The disk that Uncle Takaishi had placed on the table had disappeared.”

There was no progress on the first day of work, so the police went their separate ways. The reporters also reported on the murder case at night. That night was not peaceful at all. Conan and Megumi Ito went to follow Ito Tamanosuke. Ito Tamanosuke went to the troupe and was forced to be hospitalized because of a head injury. On the other hand, the troupe's manager and actor, Keie Ogiwara, had also died in Nairo.

Originally, Minamoto Masayoshi was not in the mood to care about this matter, but Conan insisted on letting him come. At this time, Megure also wanted him to assist in the case. He had no choice but to rub his eyes and curse his mother as he went to that unfortunate troupe. After going there, he didn't find anything special. There were only some debris on the ground. It wasn't that he didn't notice it, but that he didn't want to. He still had to deal with the Gin next. How could he be in the mood to deal with a murder case? Besides, he was on vacation now.

Conan investigated for a while, then called Officer Megami in Maori's voice.""Officer Megure, I think the murderer will attack Tamanosuke, so please prepare an ambush.”"Brother Mao Li, Brother Yuan said these words two hours ago, and we've already done as he said."”"Oh, that's good." Conan was surprised.”He thought to himself, As expected of the Origin Lord. He knew the killer's trick even before he came to the crime scene. But how did he know?”Then, Conan called Ayumi and the others. Ayumi and the others had already infiltrated the hotel where the troupe members were staying and were monitoring them.

At night, at Beihu City Hospital. Tajima Kenzo was wearing a white coat, a white mask, and a pair of large-rimmed glasses. He put his hands in his pockets and entered the ward that should be Tamanosuke's like a normal doctor. The police officer guarding the ward only looked at him and did not stop him. After entering the ward, he closed the door and slowly walked to the sleeping Tamanosuke. He stretched out his white gloved claws and attacked Tamanosuke.

"Surrender!" Just as Demon Claw was about to touch the police officer who was pretending to be Tamanosuke, Megure and the others suddenly appeared. Tajima Kenzo was shocked, but the door was blocked by the police. He could not break through at all. He had no choice. After cursing, he immediately smashed the window and jumped down. In the air, a rope wrapped around the water pipe of the house. Just as Tashima Kenzo was about to jump down from the rope, he was kicked by Yuan Masayoshi and flew out in the air. Minamoto Masayoshi slid down the rope Tanaka had tied to the water pipe. However, to his surprise, Tajima took out a rope and tied it to a tree in the air. Then, he swung it out. Conan wanted to use the shoe to increase the horsepower to kick the jar to hit Tajima, but because Tajima swung too far away, he was out of the distance of the jar's flight. In this way, under the encirclement of the police, he did not catch Tajima.

"How can you be so reckless, Brother Yuan? Your injuries haven't fully recovered yet!" Mu Mu said angrily. "Officer Yuan, your skills are amazing!" Takagi said with admiration.”"Let's not talk about this now. Let's go to the hotel first. I know who the murderer is!"”"Really?" Megure was delighted. That was great! Brother Takagi, let's go!"

When the police and Conan arrived at the hotel, Mao Li also rushed over. Mu Mu knocked on Tajima's door." I'm sorry, Mr. Tajima. Did you go out tonight?"”At this moment, the voices of Bu Mei and the Detective Teens were heard."We're here." "No one in the troupe went out tonight," Guang Yan said.”

Mao Li looked at the Junior Detective Squad.”"No, I just got here.”Conan said as he climbed upstairs. Minamoto Masayoshi heaved a sigh of relief and said angrily to the detective team,""The three of you staying here is an alibi for the murderer. This will make it difficult for the police to investigate!”"Doesn't that mean they're not suspects?"”

Looking at Mitsuhiko's smart aleck, Genshasa Miyoshi was furious. He didn't like Mitsuhiko who thought he was smart in the past, but now he hated him even more. "The murderer is among them. If you do this, it will be even harder for the police to find evidence.”Conan didn't seem too happy either. "Takagi, send these three kids back."”As Minamoto Masayoshi looked very angry, even Conan did not want to provoke him. Ayumi tugged at the corner of Minamoto Masayoshi's shirt.""Officer Yuan, don't be angry! We won't dare to do it again."

Minamoto Masa smiled and patted Ayumi's head.""I'm not angry at you. Alright, it's getting late. You guys can go back. Her parents would be worried if she came home late, right?”In fact, Minamoto Masayoshi wasn't really angry at these children, but because the Edo kid was like a loach and he couldn't catch him. He was very angry. Seeing that Minamoto Masayoshi was no longer angry, Ayumi's worry turned into relief. Looking at Bu Mei's expression, it was now Yuan Zheng's turn to feel uneasy."No way. God, you can't mess with people like this. If I lay my hands on that little girl, wouldn't I be a beast?”

He sent the little ghosts away. "Gather everyone in this room. I want to announce the murderer."”"Do you know the murderer?" Megure asked.”"Yes," said Yuan Zheng. Megure always said the same thing, and even Takagi was annoyed by it. He had already gone to call everyone after Minamoto Masayoshi gave the order. Conan looked at Genshoji and knew that there was no need for him to appear.

A few minutes later, everyone gathered. At this time, Mr. Mao Li was gulping down beer. " I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night," Gensho said in front of everyone." But you can go to sleep after I'm done with my deduction."”"You mean you know the murderer?" Murakami asked.”" Yes." Genshasa nodded gently." The murderer who killed Ms. Jiang of the Ogiwara clan and Mr. Tsukio Chikiishi, as well as the two attackers on Tamanosuke, is among you."”

Perhaps he felt that he had been seen through by Genji Masayoshi and was using anger to cover up his panic, or perhaps he was angry out of embarrassment, Tajima Kenzo stood up and said angrily,""Nonsense!" Megure didn't try to stop him like in the original novel. Instead, he said firmly,""Don't get too excited. The deduction will be over in a while.”Megure had 100% trust in Minamoto Masayoshi, but he had no clue about Maori.

"Judging from the skill of the criminal who attacked Tamanosuke tonight, he must be the Edo kid. This should be the same as my previous guess. Moreover, the cause of this case was the Edo Kid. Everyone knew that the Edo Kid was a thief who had the skills of a period drama actor and had committed many crimes in the country.”To clear his name, Murakami Ryuichi said,""Regarding this, Miss Yuri and I have already been investigated by the police. We are absolutely innocent and have perfect alibis.”

"I know," said Gensei,"but I want to ask, are you the only ones in your troupe who can perform stunts?"”Shirai Yuri said," Yes, Mr. Tajima could do it too, and we were all taught by him. But three years ago, he injured his waist and could no longer perform."”"Is that so?" Can you prove it? Can you prove that your waist injury hasn't healed?”"Are you saying that I'm the murderer?" Tajima was furious.”

" I'll show you the evidence, don't worry," Gensei Masamori said with a smile." But before that, I have to explain the incident and the motive so that everyone will know that I'm not talking nonsense." Your leader brought the story of the Edo boy to the stage, but the scriptwriter Chikaishi did not write what Tamanosuke originally wanted, so the two quarreled. But why didn't Takaishi-san do as he was told? He was trying to bully the young leader, but more importantly, he found out the real identity of the Edo kid when he was collecting information for the Edo kid. He was Mr. Tajima Kenzo.”

It was the same as when other cases were about to be completed. Whether it was the murderer or others, they had to interrupt. " Everyone, listen to Officer Yuan first," Takagi said." If what he said doesn't make sense, then refute him, alright?" Everyone, please calm down!" Takagi had been working with Minamoto Masayoshi for a long time, so he was very clear about such matters.

Genshi Masayoshi continued," Mr. Takaishi found out that Mr. Tajima was the Edo Kid, so he blackmailed Mr. Tajima by changing the script…"”Tajima flew into a rage out of humiliation and was about to stand up and leave, but he was immediately stopped by Takagi and the others. Tajima could only sit down helplessly. "So his back pain is fake?" Megure asked.”"It should be true, but he should have recovered half a year ago." Alright, I'll continue. On the day that Takaishi-san died, the only ones who had a chance to kill Takaishi were the three of you. Because there weren't enough actors in the troupe, each of you had to play two roles. You and Yuri-san were changing backstage, and Mr. Muraki was changing his clothes while running to Nairo because he had to go on stage immediately. However, due to the particularly deep hell of the Beika Theater, the matter of rushing to the designated location was particularly urgent, so Mr. Muraki, who was changing his clothes by the stage, did not have time to commit the crime. In addition, Takaishi-san's room was right next to the backstage, so Tajima-san and Shirai-san, who had passed by his room to change clothes, had enough evidence to kill Takaishi-san.”"But Miss Jiang's death was an accident," Muraki said."The ItoE written on the note explaining everything." That day, we all received one because the way the name was written was the Guild Leader's habit. It meant that Boss Itaro wrote it to Edo Boy. I was so angry that I went to drink to drown my sorrows.”

" That's right, ItoE is not a Roman word, but ItoE," Genshasa said." I is the first letter of Itaro, and E is the first letter of Edo." However, this is not for all of you, but for the Edo Kid. Tamanosuke did not know who the real Edo Kid was, so he gave each of you a card because he was sure that the Edo Kid killed Takaishi-san, but he did not know which one of you the Edo Kid was. However, Ogihara-san mistakenly thought that the note was for her, so she went to the theater and fell into a trap set by Mr. Tajima. Tamanosuke was also injured after entering the theater, so Tamanosuke did not have time to set up the sandwich that night, nor did he have time to hide it. However, there was another person in the theater besides the two of them. The best evidence was that there was another note found in Nairo. This person was Mr. Tajima.”

"So you're certain that I'm the murderer?" Tajima Kenzo was still unconvinced. Even if I really had the time to kill Takaishi-san, it doesn't prove that I definitely killed him. Yuri also had the time!”These words chilled Shirai Yuri's heart. " First of all, the figure that went to the hospital looked very similar to you," Gensei said." You might quibble about this, but I have two pieces of conclusive evidence that can sentence you to death." First, Officer Megami, please check Mr. Akaishi's computer. I believe Mr. Tashima used that computer again after the incident to confirm the connection between the magnetic disk he found in Mr. Akaishi's room. I believe Mr. Tashima believes that the police won't check it again and do it empty-handed. Second, when Mr. Tajima entered the hospital, I had already placed a sticker of Lupin III on the ground. There was also today's date written on it. You should be able to find it if you check the bottom of his shoes.”

"Enough, there's no need to investigate anymore!" Just as Megure was about to call for forensics, Tajima admitted to the crime. He said something boring like he didn't want to kill the leader, and then Tamanosuke admitted his mistake. What did he say about surrendering?

(Because I have something to do, I might not update it in the afternoon. This chapter has nearly 6000 words. It can be considered as two in one.) In addition, someone said that this book is similar to the original work, which makes me feel awkward. I don't know what he thinks about doujinshi. Can you please give me some suggestions when you ask questions? Also, I just feel very helpless about giving tips. Many readers don't even collect them. It's not that difficult to just move the mouse, right?)
