Chapter 152: Can you please not be so fast?

At Yuya's urging, everyone returned to the game hall.

"Have you untied them all?" Conan and Yuya walked a little behind and asked while pulling on Yuya's trouser leg.

Yuya nodded calmly, glancing at the time from time to time.

"Why do you keep looking at the time?" Conan asked puzzledly, "Does this case have something to do with time?" Is there something wrong with his reasoning?

"No," Yuya didn't even look at Conan, "Mio is still waiting for me. I've been here for more than 20 minutes."

Conan's mouth twitched slightly. No, that Frankenstein is not a child. Let alone 20 minutes, she won't get lost even if it's 2 hours, okay?

Instead of worrying about her, you might as well worry about whether she has sliced ​​up someone for research.

Conan couldn't help but shudder when he recalled how Shiho Miyano would often call him to the doctor's basement and use that cold scalpel to move it up and down his body.

So evil!

Inspector Megure looked at his dear brother with a kind expression and said kindly: "Brother Kamiya, tell me what we should do?"

He was already used to these detectives, who knew clearly that the murderer was unwilling to speak directly, and had to unravel the murderer's methods step by step, alas!

Forget it, since I can get off work early today, I'll just cooperate.

With so many events happening in Beika Town, it's not easy for Megure Jusan, okay?

Judy couldn't help but open her eyes wide. Aren't Japanese policemen so gentle?

You don't see this kind of scene at all in their place, okay?

Yuya looked at everyone and finally said, "Well... Xiaolan and Officer Takagi, please cooperate with me."

The two nodded.

Conan was a bit depressed. Not only was You faster than him, but he also had to order his old... uh, he used his childhood sweetheart as a tool. Was he still a human being?

Yuya whispered a few words in the ears of Mao Lilan and Takagi Wataru respectively. Although the two were a little confused, they nodded obediently.

Then, the two of them sat down on the fighting game chairs back to back, and then... started playing the game.

"Brother Kamiya, is it time to play games now?" Inspector Megure asked with empty eyes.

Youye smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, Inspector. The fun will begin soon."

Inspector Megure's eyelids drooped even more, but he still looked at the big screen patiently.

On the big screen, there are two characters, a man and a woman.

The battle became one-sided from the beginning. The male character was punching and kicking, while the female character was constantly being beaten without any ability to fight back.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this police officer too harsh?"

"That's right, bullying a girl like this is too much!"

Everyone stood up for Mao Lilan.

The one-sided battle ended quickly, and the female character was defeated and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"Hey, Takagi, you're going too far." Inspector Megure was a little dissatisfied. His subordinates bullied a girl in front of so many people. Although it was a game, it was still embarrassing, okay?

But Takagi Wataru didn't move, as if he didn't hear what Inspector Megure said.

Inspector Megure walked over and pushed him twice. Seeing that he didn't react, he became puzzled and took off his helmet.

The next second his eyes widened, because Takagi Wataru's eyes were covered with a piece of cloth. Was he playing the game blindfolded the whole time?

Inspector Megure knew that Takagi Wataru didn't have such a high level of gaming skills, so he asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Takagi Shigeru took off his blindfold and explained, "I sat still with my eyes covered as requested by Kamiya-kun. Also, that female character is actually me."

"? Is it you, the female character?" Inspector Megure looked at the game screen in front of Takagi Wataru, and sure enough, the subtitle prompt "you lose" was displayed on it.

If that's the case... Inspector Megure looked at Ran Mouri, who answered, "Yuya asked me to choose the male character."

"Brother Kamiya, what does this mean?" Inspector Megure looked confused.

Yuya smiled and glanced at everyone: "Inspector, why do you think Officer Takagi is a male character and Xiaolan is a female character?"

"This..." Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment, "That's right, I think so subconsciously."

Yuya nodded: "That's right, because Xiaolan is a girl and Officer Takagi is a man, when a male and a female character appear on the screen, I naturally think of it according to gender.

So please recall, which two characters were fighting at the time of the incident?"

Those who knew Yugi, Wei Teng Xianwu, and Shimizu Gaobao almost didn't think about it and directly gave the answer: "Of course it's Caesar and Lucas, these are their signature characters."

Yuya's lips curled up slightly: "So, who chose Caesar and who chose Lucas?"

Everyone was about to answer when they suddenly realized something was wrong. Thinking about the opposite role events that had just happened, they all opened their mouths in surprise.

Inspector Megure's eyes widened: "Brother Kamiya, what do you mean?!"

"That's right, just like Xiaolan and Officer Takagi, the two people who were fighting at the time did not choose their own signature characters, but the opposite."

"Mr. Wei Teng, who is known as Beika Town Caesar, the deceased, actually used Lucas; while Mr. Zhishui, who is known as Haido Lucas, used the Caesar character."

"This... why are you so sure?" Inspector Megure was a little puzzled.

Yuya raised the camera that Dejima Shun lent him and said, "I watched the game footage at that time. It didn't show the scores and names of the players, so no one knew who chose which character. We just subconsciously thought they all chose the signature characters."

"At the end of the battle, the reason why Caesar stopped and didn't give the opponent the final blow was because if he won, others would rush to Caesar's side, which is Mr. Wei Teng's position, to congratulate him. However, the subtitle 'you lose' was displayed on his screen, which is obviously unreasonable."

"Could it be that..." Inspector Megure understood something.

"That's right," Youye nodded, "Whether Mr. Wei Teng died before the battle began or died during the battle, it will not affect the result."

"In the surveillance footage, Mr. Zhishui stood next to Mr. Wei Teng for a while and blocked the camera angle with his body. It was at that time that Mr. Wei Teng's arm was pierced with a poison needle or something like that. Pufferfish toxin is a highly toxic poison that paralyzes nerves. If it enters the blood vessels directly, it will quickly paralyze a person and make him unable to move. Not to mention playing games, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to even sit still."

"But," Inspector Megure was puzzled, "If he couldn't even sit, wouldn't he have fallen down? Wouldn't the guests nearby have noticed it immediately?"

Takagi Wataru quickly denied, "No way," and tried to raise his hands, but they were firmly fixed on the seat. "This game console ties the player to the seat, so it won't fall down at all."

"And I didn't actually move at all just now. It was the game console that fed back the character's attack situation to me, driving my hands and feet to move."

"So, even if Mr. Wei Teng was already dead and fell down, because he was fixed on the seat, others would think he was holding back his strength to fight the opponent."

"I see." Inspector Megure nodded suddenly, then looked at Shimizu Takashi silently.

Shimizu Takashi's expression was calm. He sneered and asked, "Your reasoning is indeed brilliant, but where is the murder weapon? If I killed him, where is the murder weapon?"

Yuya smiled faintly and said, "Of course, and this murder weapon has been circling around us all along."

"What did you say?" Inspector Megure widened his eyes.

The murder weapon had been around all along? And no one had discovered it?
