Chapter 444 Hondou: Could it be that the lucky goddess of the sleeping Kogoro is Conan?
Sanjiao Du cursed inwardly, "Didn't we agree that this was suicide? What are you guys still investigating here?"
But there was no other way, he could only continue to lie about the strange doubts: "My girlfriend doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. In order to prevent me, an old smoker, from smoking, she often hides the cigarette lighter. I guess this time it's just a habit?"
Maori Kogoro looked at Sankaku Atsushi and said, "Are you still a heavy smoker?"
Sanjiao Du smiled awkwardly, then showed a slightly embarrassed expression: "Can I go to the car to smoke a cigarette? I have been holding it in because the situation was not appropriate just now, and I really can't hold it anymore."
Seeing that police officer Yamamura Cao had no objection, he trotted into the car carrying Kogoro Mori and others and started smoking.
Kogoro Mouri didn't say anything. He was a heavy smoker himself and could understand how a heavy smoker felt when he was addicted to smoking.
Looking at the smoke rising from the car, Conan suddenly thought of something. He went around to the passenger seat of the car and got in when the forensic officer was not paying attention.
He looked around the car, took out his handkerchief and opened the ashtray in the middle of the seat, revealing a book cover with words on it.
As expected, Conan showed a thoughtful expression.
"It's true that the murderer is that man, but how did he do it? If we can figure out his method..."
Conan crossed his arms and thought, and he didn't even notice the forensic officer grabbing him by the collar and pulling him out - or maybe he was used to being arrested by the police like this.
"Ah!" There was a sudden cry of surprise.
Conan subconsciously turned his head to look, with a speechless expression on his face - he saw that Hondou Eisuke had fallen again somehow, and this time his luck was even worse, as his finger was scratched.
Mao Lilan quickly took out a Band-Aid and said, "Stretch out your finger, I'll put it on for you..."
She froze there before she could finish her words.
Also stunned was Hondou Eisuke - his finger was being sucked by someone, and the owner of the sucking mouth was none other than Conan.
Conan opened his mouth, spit out the saliva, and said to Hondou Eisuke with a smile: "Such a small wound will heal immediately with a little saliva!"
"Yes, is that so..." Hondou Eisuke nodded blankly.
Mao Lilan tried to suppress her smile and handed the Band-Aid to Conan: "But it's safer to put on a Band-Aid..."
Conan snatched the Band-Aid and handed it to Hondou Eisuke with a sour face.
You paste it yourself.
Hondou Eisuke got this message from Conan's expression.
He took it in a daze, not quite understanding why this child was so good at changing his expression. He was smiling like a flower just now, and the next second this flower turned rotten and smelly?
But he didn't think much about it. Perhaps because he often used Band-Aids, Hondou Eisuke was very quick and bandaged the wound in no time.
Then he held up his finger to show off and said, "But this Band-Aid is really amazing. With this bandage, the wound looks as if there is no wound at all."
"Look." He also stretched out his finger in front of Conan.
Conan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
He didn't bother to admire Hondou Eisuke's Band-Aid. He turned around and ran back to the car and said to the forensic officer, "Uncle, I accidentally left something in here just now. Can I go in and get it?"
Although it was a question, Conan had no intention of waiting for the forensic officer's answer and got into the car.
His eyes fell on the tape in the gap of the car door, and he soon smiled as if he had seen through the truth.
I see···
On the other hand, the somewhat unwilling Yamamura Sou and Hondou Eisuke are pestering Mouri Kogoro to deduce the case.
Conan ran over and pointed at the door on the other side of the car and said, "Uncle Kogoro, come over and take a look, this door looks a bit strange!"
Kogoro Mouri was having a headache because of the two fans. Upon hearing this, he immediately followed Conan and looked down at the car door, but found nothing.
"What's so strange..." Just when he was about to ask Conan, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and the usual strong feeling came over him again.
He made a humming sound from his mouth and then sat down against the car door.
"Mr. Mori!"
Thinking that something had happened to Mouri Kogoro, Yamamura Cao hurried over, but he saw Mouri Kogoro leaning against the car door with his head down as if he was asleep.
“Ohhh! This posture of treating others as fools and being completely intoxicated by it is…”
"Sleeping Kogoro!"
Hearing Yamamura Cao's shout, Hondou Eisuke ran over in surprise.
Mao Lilan was stunned, and then sighed helplessly - Dad was bewitched by Conan again? In other words, this suicide was actually murder?
At the same time, I became a little worried. Although the doctor said that this anesthetic would not cause any harm to the body, would my father really become a fool one day?
In this kind of weather, won’t you catch a cold if you sit on the ground?
But solving the case is the most important thing now. As usual, Mao Lilan stood next to Conan and prepared to help him block.
Conan was speechless at what Yamamura So said. He first smiled at Mao Li Ran, and then said: "Who thinks others are fools!" He was just looking for clues and evidence, so it took a little time!
Ran Mouri next to her had a slightly strange expression on her face - she remembered that Yuya once said that Conan solved the case with the help of "the sleeping Kogoro". Doesn't solving the case while sleeping mean that he treats everyone else as fools?
She covered her forehead speechlessly. Come to think of it, before she knew Conan's identity, she was also one of those idiots...
Yamamura Cao didn't care about what "Mouri Kogoro" said, and said excitedly: "Forget about it, Mr. Mouri, take this pose..."
Hondou Eisuke took over the conversation very cooperatively: "Does it mean that this case..."
"That's right," Conan confirmed their guess, "Then next, let me show you the reasoning of 'Sleeping Kogoro'."
After saying this, Conan was stunned for a moment, revealing a somewhat speechless expression - he seemed to have been infected by these two idiots? What? Let's see the reasoning of 'Sleeping Kogoro'...
He pretended to cough, and then said, "But before that, let's invite the key figure in this case, the boyfriend of the deceased, Mr. Sanjiao, over."
"Huh?" Several people were stunned and subconsciously turned to look at Sanjiaodu who was still smoking in the car.
Does "Mouri Kogoro" (Conan) mean that this Sankaku Atsushi is the murderer?
Sanjiaodu, who was in the car, suddenly felt several strong gazes. He looked up and found that Shancuncao and others were staring at him. Although the car was warm, his heart felt cold for some reason.
Sanjiaodu was invited over.
He asked Yamamura Tsao with some embarrassment: "Mr. Maori's reasoning show? Didn't they say this was a suicide? What's the need for reasoning?"
As they were talking, the two had already walked to the car. Conan said, "Because this is a murder case disguised as suicide!"
Sanjiao Du showed a shocked expression: "Murder?!"
Yamamura So showed an expression of "as expected". He knew that a case with Detective Mori present would definitely not be an ordinary suicide!
"That's right," Conan continued, "and the murderer is the one who broke the glass and climbed into the car to rescue the deceased, and cut the tape to open the door. Yes, I'm talking about you, Mr. Sankaku!"
"Varied···"
Sanjiao Du was about to argue when Shancun Cao immediately picked up the camera and started filming, making some meaningless noises: "So that's how it is, what a surprise!"
Hondou Eisuke stared at the "sleeping Kogoro", trying to find the goddess of luck he thought was there. However, after observing for a long time, he found that this person was just as Mouri Ran said, she simply lowered her head and narrated the case.
However... Hondou Eisuke's puzzled gaze fell on Mouri Ran standing behind the car, and the half head that appeared beside her - looking at the tuft of sticking up hair and the disappearing figure, Hondou Eisuke was very sure that the head was Conan.
But why were they both standing so close to Detective Maori?
Conan had never expected that with his "invisibility" that he was so proud of and the protection of Ran Mouri, no one should have noticed his existence, but Hondou Eisuke saw through it at a glance.
If You was also here, he would have to say something - this might be a game between the God of Misfortune and the God of Death!
Hondou Eisuke wanted to go forward and ask, but he was worried about disturbing the solving of the case by "Sleeping Kogoro", so he could only put his doubts in his heart for the time being.
After hearing what Maori Kogoro said, Sankaku Atsushi immediately defended himself, "Are you kidding, Mr. Maori? Today I'm asking you to find my girlfriend and the car. If I were the murderer, why would I do this?"
Ke Beibei Ling Nandao: "You have reasons to do this!"
"Because you need someone to help you prove that this car is a veritable secret room!"
Yamamura Cao raised his own question: "But Mr. Maori, the forensic officer has confirmed that the tape is firmly attached to the car door and is very difficult to tear off."
"Yes, the tape was indeed very strong, but it was only on the driver's side. Who would have thought that the tape on the passenger side was disconnected from the beginning!"
Sanjiaodu was suddenly shocked.
Yamamura Cao was even more puzzled: "But, Mr. Maori, didn't you see it with your own eyes, Mr. Sankaku cut the tape with a knife?"
"Yes, I did see it, but what I actually saw was his skillful technique of pressing his hands on the tape that was attached to the first layer of incision, pressing and cutting at the same time."
Sanjiaodu remained silent, with sweat visible on his forehead.
"Floating on it?" Shancuncao was a little confused.
"Then I will sort out the course of events."
"First, he drove his girlfriend here for some reason, then made her drink coffee with sleeping pills in it, waited for her to fall asleep, moved her to the driver's seat, and then taped all the car doors shut.
Then cut the tape on the co-pilot side with a knife, and then apply another layer of tape along the cutting direction to cover the cut.
Then light the charcoal stove on the passenger seat, close the car door, and everything will be fine.
Finally, drive away from here temporarily and find someone to come with you. As long as the other party is sure that the tape on the driver's seat is firmly stuck to the door and cannot be opened, you can use the excuse of saving someone to break the windshield and climb in.
Then use the method I just mentioned to cut the tape again along the original incision, and you can complete the closed room murder method!"
"I see!" Hondou Eisuke felt that he understood the reasoning of "Mouri Kogoro" and said excitedly, "We wanted to save the person in the driver's seat, so we naturally wanted to open the driver's door. At that time, we saw that the passenger side was also taped, so of course we thought it was also tightly taped."
"Then if we cut it as you said, the tape will stick to it. Even if we investigate it afterwards, we won't be able to find out that it was originally attached there, right?"
"...That's right," Conan was stunned for a moment. This man looked confused, but he didn't expect that his brain was quite useful. He had originally planned to explain it in more detail.
