Someone knocked on the door.
"He's here!"
Yoko Okino nodded and walked over. She opened the door and saw Shinichi Takada standing at the door.
"Takada, didn't you say you were going to sleep?”
Yoko Okino asked doubtfully, then turned around and walked inside.
"I can't help it. I can't sleep."
Shinichi Takada said helplessly as he walked in.
"Xiaolan, Conan."
"Takada!"
Molilan greeted him while Conan sat by the bed and read a book.
"If that's the case, why don't we go out for a walk and buy some things at the convenience store?" Okino suggested.”
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment. You're my idol."
"It's okay. I'm not that famous. Plus, I'll change my hairstyle and put on a hat. No one will notice."”
Hearing Okino Yoko's words, Mao Lilan did not say anything else.
Yoko Okino wanted to change her clothes. As a man, Makoto Takada naturally couldn't stay in the room. However, before he went out, he brought Conan out as well. Yoko Okino was the woman he had reserved. How could he let Conan see her?
Even Maureen wanted to take Conan to the bath. When they were taking a bath in the room, Takada Shinichi said that men did not want the woman they liked to be too close to other men. After that, Molilan no longer bathed with Conan, and since then, she no longer had such thoughts, obviously because of Kudo Shinichi.
After Okino Yoko changed her hairstyle and put on her hat, the four of them walked out of the hotel. However, just as they were about to leave, the four of them heard a ghostly cry. It was Anshi Morio's watch alarm clock. Shinichi Takada and Okino Yoko had never heard it before, but Molilan and Conan had heard it once during the day and recognized it.
The four of them ignored Anxi Morio and went downstairs, only to see Douyuan Taeko at the door. However, when he saw Douyuan Taeko, he looked outside in shock.
Shinichi Takada knew exactly why Mizuki Taeko was like this, but he did not say anything, as if he did not know.
Seeing this, Mao Lilan said worriedly,""Miss Taeko, are you alright?"
"No... I'm fine..."
Of course, Mizuki Taeko couldn't say that she had something to do, so she entered the hotel in a panic.
"Miss Taeko, she…"
Mao Lilan was a little worried when she saw this. She felt that something had happened to Dougai Taeko. Otherwise, why would she be so abnormal?
Xiaolan, let's go."
Shinichi Takada called out upon seeing this. Without the departure of the four of them, how could the show begin?
The four of them left the hotel and walked on the street towards the convenience store.
To reach the convenience store, they had to pass by the shrine where they had filmed during the day, but nothing happened. The four of them walked to the convenience store and bought items there.
Just as Okino Yoko thought, no one recognized her after she changed her hairstyle and wore a hat.
After buying the things, the four of them walked back. Shinichi Takada was more careful and walked on the far right. In other words, he was the closest person to the stone steps of the shrine when they went back.
"Who is it? Who is it?"
When the four of them arrived at the bottom of the stone steps, Shinichi Takada suddenly stopped and looked up at the stone steps.
"What's wrong, Takata?" asked Mao Lilan.”
"I just saw a figure. There should be someone there. I'll go up and take a look.”
Shinichi Takada said as he trotted up the stone steps. In fact, he did not see anyone at all. He only said that because he knew that Anxi Morio had already died up there.
After climbing up the stone steps, Shinichi Takada did not find anyone in front of the shrine, but he could clearly see the corpse lying beside the stone lion in front of the shrine. He immediately ran towards the corpse after climbing up the stone steps. After a while, he ran back and walked down the stone steps.
When Shinichi Takada was halfway there, he saw Mao Lilan, Okino Yoko, and Conan walking up the stone steps. They were obviously preparing to go up.
"Takata, did you catch that person?" asked Mao Lilan.”
"I didn't catch up to that person."
Shinichi Takada replied and then said,""Xiaolan, Yoko, the production crew's Anxi Morio died up there. I also found the knife that Yoko used during her performance. Go and call Mr. Maori and the production crew over immediately.”
"What? Mr. Anxi was killed?"
Mao Lilan and Okino Yoko exclaimed in unison, then immediately nodded. The two of them turned around and walked down together.
Conan did not leave with him. He followed Shinichi Takada up the stone steps and came to the shrine.
"Conan, you can't go over!"
When Conan was about to walk towards Anxi Morio's body, Shinichi Takada grabbed Conan's collar and stopped him.
"Brother Takada, aren't you going to the scene to take a look?" Conan looked up. Maybe he found something.”
Shinichi Takada pretended to hesitate and shook his head.""No, the police haven't arrived yet. We can't walk around the scene. It would be bad if they accidentally destroyed the scene.”
" But if there's a time limit to the clues," Conan said," What if the clues disappear if we don't go now?"”He was right, but the main thing was that he wanted to go over and take a look.
"What you said makes sense, but you can't go over, lest you ruin the scene.”
Shinichi Takada nodded in agreement and took Conan to the side. After telling Conan not to go over, he turned around and walked towards the corpse.
“呿!”
When Conan saw this, he couldn't help but pout. He was very unhappy. When he saw that Shinichi Takada was carefully investigating the scene, he walked over carefully, trying not to attract his attention.
Of course, Shinichi Takada noticed Conan coming over, but he did not stop him. Instead, he walked around the corpse and looked at the clues left behind. He pretended to be deep in thought as he looked at the scene.
"Stone lion? And this singlet!"
After taking a look at the scene, Conan immediately found two things that were wrong. As for the knife next to it, it could only mean that the crime was committed by the crew, but it could not point to anyone. As long as the criminal was not stupid, the fingerprints on the knife would definitely be wiped off.
"It's normal for the hat to fall to the ground after the victim was killed, but isn't it a little abnormal for the vest to fall to the side? And this stone lion. The deceased wrote the words 'stone lion' in blood. Was this a clue he left behind? But why did he write about a stone lion? Why didn't he just point at the stone lion? Why do you have to do this?"
Conan had too many questions in his mind, but Shinichi Takada was right next to him. He couldn't look closely at the corpse, so he had no choice but to walk away. He thought that he had to look carefully later to see if there was anything else to be found.
About five to six minutes later, Maori Kogoro and the rest of the crew arrived, except for Zhi Shingo who had gone to the Imperial Pill Hotel. After about ten minutes, Mezuki Shisan arrived with the police.
The police set up a light beside the body, and the examiner examined the body and the items left around it.
Mu Shisan asked Takada,""Brother Takata, when you found the body, did you find anyone suspicious?”
Shinichi Takada replied," Because it was too dark, I only saw a figure at that time. When I came up, that person was long gone. I don't even know if that shadow was a man or a woman."”
"Takata, you've been here for so long. Have you found anything?" Maori Kogoro asked.”
"Yes, Mr. Maori and Officer Miyuki, please come with me.”
Shinichi Takada called out to the two of them and came to the corpse.
Maori Kogoro and Meji Shisan followed him. Conan took the opportunity to come to the corpse and look at it.
" Mr. Maori, Officer Megami, look, the deceased left the words 'Stone Lion' on the ground. However, the first and third words of the words were written incorrectly. After thinking for a long time, I realized that if I removed the first word and the last word, the words 'Stone Lion' would become..."
Before Shinichi Takada could finish, Maori Kogoro and Megami Shisan said in unison,""Handsome!"
"That's right, he's a handsome guy." We can see that the first and third characters are not connected to the horizontal line. An Xi Morio would not make such a mistake, so it was obvious that someone added the vertical line and the left side.”
Maori Kogoro clapped his hands and said," The person who added it would only be the self-proclaimed handsome man, Zhizhen. When he found out that the deceased had left behind the word 'handsome,' he immediately added two strokes to make us think that the deceased had written the word 'stone lion'. However, in his haste, he made a mistake that only a child would make, allowing us to find out the truth.”
Mu Mu Shisan immediately walked to where the crew was standing and said in a deep voice,""What about Mr. Zhi Zhenwu? Why isn't he here?"
The director replied," Mr. Zhi went to the Grand Elixir Hotel for the night. We've already called him. He'll be here soon."”
Shinichi Takada and Kogoro Maori walked over. After the two left, Conan walked to the place where the three of them were standing. After carefully looking at the three words 'stone lion', he realized that it was just as Shinichi Takada had said. The vertical and horizontal strokes were indeed not connected to the horizontal line. Someone had added them at the end. Before the word was added, it was the word' handsome.'
"But if the murderer is Zhi Zhenwu, then what about the singlet? It was impossible for there to be anything useless left at the scene. There must be some purpose behind this.”
Conan frowned slightly and looked at the corpse seriously. He did not miss a single spot and looked at it very seriously.
"Hmm? The watch…"
When Conan saw Anxi Morio's watch, he had a thought and leaned forward to take a look. There was blood on the surface of the watch, which should be normal. However, he still found something unusual. There were traces of blood splattering beside the blood flow. This meant that the blood did not flow normally, but someone had dripped blood on the watch cover from high up, leaving traces on both sides.
"Watch, coat, could it be…"
Conan stood up and pondered for a moment. His eyes lit up and he immediately thought of a possibility. Someone had returned to the hotel with the watch after Morio Anxi's death and then left the hotel again with Morio Anxi's singlet. That was why the singlet was left beside him.
"If that's the case, then the Anxi Morioto we saw when we left the hotel was not the real Anxi Morioto. Someone was pretending, and the victim was killed before that.”
The truth gradually appeared in Conan's mind. Soon, Conan remembered the terrified look of Mizagaki Taeko when he went out. Then, he thought of Shimazaki Yuji who left the hotel. Everything was clear. The truth was already in his mind.
"But where is the evidence?"
Conan frowned as he looked at Mizuki Taeko, who was not far away, and then at Shimazaki Yuji, who was standing in the crowd. Shimazaki Yuji was Mizuki Taeko's fiancé, and he had covered up the truth for Mizuki Taeko. He would not reveal the truth, and would only deny it. The evidence pointing to Mizuki Taeko was useless. It could only be considered a guess and could not be used as conclusive evidence.
"Officer, Zhizhen Wu is here!"
Hearing the police officer's voice not far away and seeing Zhi Shingo, Conan knew that he did not have much time left. He immediately looked at the scene seriously. He believed that there were still clues left at the scene, but he did not find them.
Mu Shisan asked Zhi Zhenwu,""Mr. Zhi, where were you from 10:00 to 10:30?”
"I was in the bar before ten o'clock, and there were plenty of people there who could vouch for me.”
Zhizhen Wu didn't answer the question and wanted to muddle through.
" Mr. Zhi," said Mu Shisan with a frown," I'm asking about the time between 10:00 and 10:30."”
" I was in the hotel room the whole time," Zhi Zhenwu said helplessly." I was alone. No one could testify for me."”
Maori Kogoro immediately said," That's right. You came here to commit a crime and killed Mr. Anxi Morio, so you don't have an alibi." After you killed Anxi Morio, you found that he left a clue, so you had to add two strokes and change the word 'handsome' to 'stone lion'. Unfortunately, although you want to get away with it, you can't hide it from a famous detective like me.”
"No, I didn't kill anyone!"
Zhi Zhenwu's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He hurriedly explained,"I was supposed to meet Anxi Shounan here, but when I arrived, he had already been killed. When I saw the bloody words on the ground, I knew that someone wanted to frame me, so I hurriedly added two more words.”
"That…"
On the side, Mao Lilan hesitated and said,""During the day, I saw Mr. Anxi blackmailing Mr. Zhi.”Although saying this was very disadvantageous to Zhi Zhenwu, Mao Lilan knew that this was an important clue and had to say it. If the murderer was really Zhi Zhenwu, then he was a bad person. There was nothing wrong with what she said.
"This is your motive for killing.”
Maori Kogoro clapped his hands and walked towards the corpse, preparing to explain.
Chi!
When Maori Kogoro passed by the big tree in front of the shrine, the anesthetic needle shot Maori Kogoro's neck. Maori Kogoro spun around in a daze and finally leaned against the big tree with his head lowered slightly.
"Master Mao Li!"
Seeing this, Shinichi Takada immediately walked over. He swept his eyes around and did not see Conan. He knew that Conan had hidden behind a big tree.
"Could it be that Conan found out the truth through the clues I left behind? If that was the case, then he was indeed a famous detective!”
Shinichi Takada was secretly surprised. When he was still a few steps away from Maori Kogoro, he stopped. He did not want to expose Conan's trick.
Conan said in Maori Kogoro's voice,""Takata, I suddenly remembered the use of the vest at the scene. Someone wore it from Morio Anxi's bedroom and threw it beside the body.”
"Mr. Maori, you mean that someone returned to the hotel and pretended to be Anxi Morio after he was killed, so that the people in the hotel would notice and confuse the time of the murder?"”
" Yes," Conan said." Take a look at the watch on Morio Anxi's hand. Is there any trace of blood dripping down and splashing on both sides of the watch?" What did this mean? This means that someone took off the watch after Anxi Morio was killed and brought it back to the hotel. The alarm that you heard when you went out was deliberately made by that person. When that person came back, he put the watch back on Anxi Morio and dripped blood on the cover to make it look like it had never left.”
Shinichi Takada came to the corpse and bent down to look at the watch on Morio Anshi's hand. After looking at it, he said,""Mr. Maori, this doesn't mean anything. It's possible that when Anxi Morio's hand fell to the ground, blood splattered and he became like this.”
"This is…What happened?"
Not far away, Shimazaki Yuji listened to the conversation between the two and could not help but widen his eyes. He clearly remembered that when he put the watch on Anxi Morio, there was no blood at all. In other words, this was done by someone else.
"But no matter what, this is more beneficial to Taeko. I'll just pretend I don't know.”Shimazaki Yuji thought to himself.
Conan did not refute after listening to Shinichi Takada's words, because he knew that it was indeed a possibility, so he said,""Takata, look at the message left by the deceased. After separating the word handsome, can you see the other two words?”
Naturally, Shinichi Takada knew about this, but he still walked over and said after taking a look,""Douyuan? Mr. Maori, are you trying to say that the murderer is Ms. Dougaki Taeko? This was just a coincidence. The word handsome must have been written with such strokes.”
"Miss Miaozi?" "Miaozi?" "How could that be?"
Mao Lilan, Okino Yoko, and the others couldn't help but look at Mizuki Taeko in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Mizuki Taeko was the murderer.
Mizuki Taeko did not say anything as she tried her best not to break down. She could only pray that Shinichi Takada would be able to convince Maori Kogoro to turn Shingo into the murderer. As for the idea of turning herself in, she threw it away as soon as it appeared. If she really had such an idea, she would have taken action after killing someone. She did not want to become a murderer and go to prison. She still wanted to create a beautiful life with the man she loved.
After listening to Shinichi Takada's words, Conan did not mind and continued,""Takata, look at the blood around you. It's impossible for the murderer not to be stained with blood. Among the suspects, only Dougaki Taeko might have changed her clothes unknowingly because her home is here.”
Upon hearing this, Douyuan Taeko couldn't help but take two steps back. She knew that she was finished. The decisive evidence had appeared. The blood-stained clothes were in her room. As long as the police found them, she would have nothing to say.
" Master Maori," Shinichi Takada said," although this is very possible, it's only a possibility. I still think that Zhi Shingo is the murderer."”
As he spoke, Shinichi Takada walked towards Mizuki Taeko and stood in front of her.""Miss Taeko, are you willing to let the police conduct a search? Personally, I don't think you're the murderer. Letting the police search will help you clear your name.”
"Dang…Of course…"
Mizuki Taeko said in a trembling voice. She made a final struggle and prayed that the police would not find the bloody clothes. Then, she could escape.
After getting permission from Dougai Taeko, Shinichi Takada said to Mekinari,""Officer Megure, please search the shrine. I believe you won't find any blood-stained clothes in the shrine, because Ms. Dougaki is not the murderer.”
"Brother Takada, what you and Brother Maori said makes sense. Since Miss Dougaki Taeko has no objections, then let's search the shrine.”
" Yes." Mu Chen nodded and asked the police officers to search the shrine, especially the rooms. It would have been troublesome if he hadn't gotten permission from Douyuan Taeko. He would have needed a search warrant, but with the cooperation of the owner, it would have been much simpler.
Conan walked out from behind the tree because he knew that the search would not be done in a short time, and the effect of the anesthetic needle would not last that long, so he could only walk out from behind the tree.
Not only did Shinichi Takada not walk towards Maori Kogoro, but when Mao Lilan was about to go over, he even specially stopped her and found a topic to chat with Mao Lilan. He held her back and did not let her go over.
About ten minutes later, Maori Kogoro woke up. Before he could speak, Shinichi Takada took the initiative to tell him what had happened in the name of a discussion.
Maori Kogoro was very puzzled after hearing this. However, thinking that he had divine help in solving the case after he fell asleep, he naturally would not admit that he did not know about this matter. Instead, he took it all on himself, as if what Conan said was what he said.
Half an hour later, all the police officers who went to search returned and reported the situation.
" Mori-san, you heard it too," said Megamu Shisan." There were no bloody clothes found in the shrine. Your deduction is wrong."”
"It seems that I was worrying too much, Officer Megure.”
Maori Kogoro scratched his head and laughed.
"How can there be none?"
Conan could not believe this result. He looked at Mizuki Taeko, only to see her sigh of relief. She was even more certain that Mizuki Taeko was the murderer, and that the bloody clothes should be in the shrine, but they had not been found.
"Take Mr. Zhi back to the police station!" Mu Shisan waved his hand.”
"Let me go! It's not me! I'm not the murderer!”
Zhi Zhenwu struggled and shouted. He did not want to become a murderer for no reason.
The police officers ignored him. Two police officers held him on both sides and left. They had seen many murderers who were unwilling to admit their crimes after committing them. They were not surprised.
"Uncle Mao Li, maybe if you look carefully, you will find…"
Conan was a little unwilling. He walked to Maori Kogoro's side and encouraged Maori Kogoro to continue looking for Bloody Robes.
Bang!
Maori Kogoro punched Conan's head and snorted,""Brat, the adults are handling a case. Don't interrupt. "I only thought that it was possible before. Now that the case is clear, the murderer is Zhi Zhenwu. Don't look for trouble.”
"Daddy!"
Mao Lilan called out in a reproachful tone. She came to Conan's side and patted Conan's head."Conan, you can't interfere with Dad and Takada's case!”
"Could it be…Is Miaozi really not the murderer?"
Shimazaki Yuji was starting to doubt his guess. Perhaps Taeko was not the murderer. He was just overthinking things. But no matter what, it was good that Taeko was not a suspect. All his efforts were in vain. As long as Taeko was fine.
"Gao Tian, you're amazing!"
Yoko Okino came to Shinichi Takada's side and looked at him with admiration. Back then, Shinichi Takada had used reasoning to save her, and now he had used reasoning to save Taeko. In her opinion, he was really amazing!
"No, I still have to learn from Master Mao Li.”
Shinichi Takada said humbly.
The case came to an end in Conan's unwillingness. Mezuki Shisan left with the police officers, while Shinichi Takada and the others returned to the hotel.
……
"No, I didn't. How could there be none? Where did he go?"
At night, in a room in the shrine, Mizuki Taeko was rummaging through the wardrobe. She could not find the bloody clothes that she had put in a bag no matter how hard she searched. Although the case had fallen, as long as the bloody shirt was still there, she could not rest assured. Only by burning the bloody shirt could she truly rest assured.
"Are you looking for it?"
A voice suddenly rang out, and Douyuan Taeko's body trembled. She turned around and saw a young and handsome man leaning against the door, holding the bloody clothes that she had been looking for for a long time.
"You... Who are you?"
The young man was naturally Shinichi Takada, who had changed his appearance. He had used the excuse of going to bed at first, but in fact, he had left the hotel and come to the shrine. After Mizuki Taeko killed someone, he had taken away the bloody clothes. Now that the case had been cleared by him, he was naturally here to receive the reward.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I saw everything. When you changed and left, I took this dress with me. You should thank me. If it weren't for me, you would have been in prison by now.”
"What do you want?"
Douyuan Taeko forced herself to calm down and asked. She knew that this person would not call the police. Otherwise, he would not have come to look for her.
Shinichi Takada's lips curled up slightly as he smiled and said,""It's very simple. Accompany me for a week and become my woman for a week, then I'll return this bloody dress to you. Without Blood Robes, even if I call the police, you don't have to worry about being caught by the police.”
"No! This is definitely not possible!"
Hearing this, Douyuan Taeko immediately shook her head. Then, worried that this person would be angry, she said,"I'm getting married next month. Let me go. I can give you money. Although I don't have much money, I'll give you all of it.”
"I don't need money!"
Shinji Takada walked towards Mizuki Taeko and threw the blood-stained clothes on the ground. He held Mizuki Taeko's chin with his index finger and said,""As long as you accompany me for a week, you can live the life you want. I will definitely not disturb you. Otherwise, prison will be your home. You have to think carefully.”
Douyuan Taeko's body trembled, but she was afraid. She said in a trembling voice,""You... Can you let me go? I will repay you!"
" I'm asking you to repay me right now," Shinichi Takada said with a smile." Use your body. I'm only interested in your body."”
"Don't…Don't do this, I don't want to do this!"
Douyuan Taeko shook her head and started crying. Tears flowed out of her eyes.
Even though Mizuki Taeko was unwilling, she did not want to go to jail. Under the coercion of Takada Shinichi, she could only choose to obey.
Shinichi Takada liked to cheat on other men, but he didn't want to be cuckolded. Therefore, after he had sex with Mizuki Taeko and found out that it was her first time, he made a decision, which was to kill Shimazaki Yuji. For Shinichi Takada, it was a simple matter to get rid of Shimazaki Yuji in a car accident.
The next day, Shinichi Takada, Maori Lilan, Maori Kogoro, and Conan bid farewell to Okino Yoko and the others and returned to the office.
