"Miss Kaho Nakahara and I went to the convenience store to buy something. I can prove it!”
Takei Naoko said and then stopped talking. Although they knew each other before and there was a possibility that they were colluding with each other, and if they went to the convenience store to ask, they would also be exposed, Takei Naoko knew that such a small matter would not be difficult for Huan Ye. Perhaps they would go to the convenience store to ask and the owner would be convinced. The staff would say that they had seen Kaho Nakahara and Takei Naoko.
In fact, that was exactly the case. Of course, it wasn't that Fantasy Night could control the people in the convenience store from here, but that he had already made preparations. Although he didn't know exactly what Kaho Nakagawa's plan was, Kaho Nakagawa had told him a little about it, and he had almost figured it out in his head. Therefore, he had already made his move during the day. This wasn't a difficult task for him.
Takei Naoko's testimony was still very useful, so Maori Kogoro did not suspect anything. Conan also sat on another sofa, which happened to be the sofa where the blood-stained lighter was.
Conan frowned when he heard Takei Naoko's words. His intuition told him that there must be a problem, but thinking about it, Takei Naoko didn't seem to need to lie. Moreover, they could find out if they went to the convenience store. Moreover, they did buy a lot of things back. Other than the salad, they bought everything else. There seemed to be no loopholes.
Suddenly, Conan saw the lighter next to him. He immediately took out a handkerchief and picked up the lighter. He found that there were still blood stains on the lighter and the sofa, but this was not a problem. What made Conan most confused was that the blood on it had not coagulated. What was going on?
However, after thinking about it, he took the lighter to the tablecloth and searched carefully. He found a blank spot with blood stains. He placed the lighter on it and aligned it perfectly. After thinking about it carefully, Conan immediately figured out the problem and locked onto the murderer. However, there were still some things that didn't make sense.
First, there was an alibi. With Takei Naoko as a witness, although it could be inferred that it was colluding, there was no evidence. Moreover, seeing that Takei Naoko and Fantasy Night were not worried at all, it was obvious that this alibi could not be cracked. Fantasy Night must have been prepared long ago.
Then, there was the lighter. Although it was certain that the lighter was originally on the tablecloth, and the tablecloth was on the table, and it had fallen to the ground because Kaho Nakagawa had arrived first and pulled it off, the only thing that couldn't be explained was the blood stain.
The bloodstains on the other parts of the body had already coagulated. The same was true for the tablecloth on the table. If that was the case, the tablecloth and the lighter could be put back, and the death message would be revealed. However, the problem was that the blood on the lighter had not coagulated. Moreover, the sofa was stained with blood. If that was the case, it would be a little far-fetched to say that the lighter was originally on the tablecloth. Although it made sense, it would not be convincing at all.
And the most important thing was the alibi. As long as the alibi could not be broken, no matter how much he said, it would be useless. If the person was not at the scene, how could he kill someone?
"Damn it!" Cursing under his breath, Conan looked at Fantasy Night gloomily. He was now 100% sure that this matter had something to do with Fantasy Night, but the problem was that he had no evidence. Moreover, the blood on the lighter did not coagulate. How could he explain this? There was no way to explain it. Could it be that someone used yao arts to prevent the blood from solidifying? What a joke, the police and the judge would not listen to such nonsense, not to mention that Conan himself was an atheist.
However, thinking about it, he felt a little aggrieved. The previous incident with Ichiedashi could be said to have been conclusive evidence, but in the end, they had to say that there was insufficient evidence to acquit him. Now, it was clear that Kaho Nakagawa was the criminal, but there was no conclusive evidence. Even if there was, an alibi would make the so-called conclusive evidence useless.
"An alibi. The most important thing is an alibi!”
With this in mind, Conan made up his mind. He was going to call Kudo Shinichi to intervene in the case and ask the police to go to the convenience store to ask questions. It would take about 40 minutes to get there from here. If Kaho Nakahara was really the culprit, then no one would have seen Kaho Nakahara and Takei Naoko there. It would be even better if there were surveillance videos.
"That's right. Let's do it. We can't let the criminal get away with it!”
Conan looked determined, but there was nothing he could do now. In the end, he did not anesthetize Kogoro to perform a mystery show. Kogoro was still suspecting Kanazawa, who had the most unfavorable alibi, but there was no conclusive evidence. Therefore, the case could only be left unsettled for the time being, so everyone went to sleep.
When he returned to his room, Fantasy Night glanced at Conan with an inexplicable smile on his face. A famous detective. When he met himself with that magical ability, the so-called famous detective could only be helpless.
In this world, there was only one truth, but not everything could be revealed. There were too many truths that could only be buried in the long river of history. There would never be a day when the truth was revealed.
At night, in the room.
While everyone was asleep, Kaho Nakahara sneaked into Fantasy Night's room. Fantasy Night was sleeping in the same room as the two maids. The two maids were also asleep, but Fantasy Night was still awake. She stood by the window and looked at the snowy scenery outside. The snow was still falling, but it had already weakened a lot. It might stop soon, and the police would arrive at that time.
"Will no one really know that I did it?”Kaho Nakagawa was still a little worried. Unlike Takashi Ichieda, she had no intention of turning herself in. She still had a lot of things to do and her dreams to fulfill.
" Don't worry, I've arranged everything." Fantasy Night waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry." As long as you pretend that you don't know anything, don't admit to it just because you don't have evidence. You'll be fine."”
This was one of the favorite tricks detectives used. When there was no evidence or insufficient evidence, they would usually start to provoke the criminal. Some criminals would admit that they were the murderer because there was insufficient evidence. However, detectives wanted the criminal to admit it. They would also bring a video recorder or a recording tool or even let the police ambush them. If the criminal was hot-headed, he would admit it. That would be the end.
"Don't worry, I understand.”Kaho Nakagawa nodded. She didn't dare to speak too loudly, afraid that someone outside would eavesdrop. However, she was overthinking it. With Fantasy Night here, it would be difficult for anyone to eavesdrop.
However, Kaho Nakagawa didn't say anything else. She took out a small wooden box and handed it to Fantasy Night." This is the hundred-year-old ginseng I mentioned. I'll give it to you. You've also arranged the thesis, right?"”
"Tomorrow, the author of the thesis will be your name again. No one will object, so you can rest assured.”Huan Ye took the wooden box as he spoke. He opened the wooden box and took a look. It was indeed a ginseng. After carefully distinguishing it, he realized that it was not the kind of ginseng that had just passed a hundred years old, but the kind that had been more than two hundred years old. In this day and age, it was already considered very good.
Huan Ye also knew some alchemy skills, or rather, alchemy skills. He had also touched on some ancient books by himself. He learned it by searching for it. It was not very high-grade, but the medicinal pills he refined were not bad. Ginseng was a good thing. It was a great tonic and could also be refined into healing medicinal pills. Although Huan Ye had not been injured, he still needed life-saving things.
At this point, the exchange was considered complete. Kaho Nakahara didn't say anything else and directly bade farewell. If nothing unexpected happened, her interaction with Fantasy Night would be considered over. They were just passersby in each other's lives.
……
The next day, early in the morning, the police had already come to take over the case. It was also the only case that the famous detective Maori Kogoro could not solve during this period of time. Of course, it could be considered solved because in the end, the investigation was still based on robbery and murder. In the future, if one of the thieves was unlucky enough to be caught, the case might be directly forced on him. In order to increase the so-called case solving rate, this was actually a very common method. Where there were people, there would be darkness. This was unavoidable.
Fantasy Night and the others also bid farewell and went home. However, Conan didn't want this matter to end. He used his bowknot voice changer to change into Kudo Shinichi's voice and immediately called the police department. He used this method to intervene in the case and went straight to the point. He asked the police department to arrange for someone to go to the convenience store to investigate the authenticity of Kaho's alibi.
The result was obvious. The people on duty at the time all said that they saw Kaho Nakagawa and Takei Naoko. Even the surveillance video showed this, so it became impossible for them to commit the crime. This alibi directly broke all of Conan's deductions. His so-called evidence was useless. In the end, Kaho Nakagawa could not even be considered a suspect.
This result was not surprising to Fantasy Night. In fact, if he were the one making the plan, Conan would not even be able to lock down the suspect. However, the murder plan was made by Kaho Nakagawa herself, so it was not bad for her to be able to do it to this extent. Of course, this was also because Fantasy Night did not go all out. Otherwise, with his ability, Conan would never suspect Kaho Nakagawa.
Kaho Nakahara finally heaved a sigh of relief. She flipped through the newspaper today and saw that the author of the thesis had been changed back to her original author. The Mountain General had stolen her thesis, and there was a lot of so-called evidence. Therefore, no one suspected him anymore. Not only was the Mountain General dead, but he had also lost his reputation. It could be said that the wicked had their retribution. Of course, as to who was the good guy and who was the bad guy, it was up to the benevolent and the wise to see.
However, Conan found it hard to accept this result. This was the second time that the criminal had gotten away with it. The first time, the evidence was conclusive. The second time, it was clearly confirmed, but it became impossible to commit a crime. This must have something to do with Fantasy Night. However, Conan still could not figure out how Fantasy Night did it?
"That guy must have some unknown secret!”That was what Conan thought. So in the future, he had to pay more attention to Fantasy Night. It seemed that there would be similar duels between them in the future.
