Chapter 460: Maori Kogoro's IQ is Online
Mao Lilan was a little confused, but she still looked through her photo album. Sure enough, she found the photos in the album of the surrounding store, which happened to contain those three people.
"This is so strange, I don't remember taking this photo!" Mao Lilan looked at the photo in confusion.
Hondou Eisuke quickly said, "Well, maybe I just pressed the button accidentally and took the picture... Ahaha..."
Maori Kogoro said with empty eyes: "You usually seem clumsy, but you can do something useful occasionally."
Hondou Eisuke laughed dryly a few times.
Maori Kogoro took the phone from his daughter, looked at the photo and said, "There are two people with tattoos on their right hands. The one in the middle is driving an imported car, and the one on the right is wearing a hat."
Youya took a look and pointed at the person in the middle and said, "This person can be ruled out."
Maori Kogoro didn't follow Yuya's train of thought for a moment: "Why?"
Yuya explained: "Because this person is driving a foreign car, and the driver's seat of a foreign car is on the left, which is contrary to our reasoning."
Hondou Eisuke asked, "Is it possible that he rented a Neon car that day?"
After Yuya's reminder, Maori Kogoro also reacted and rejected it directly: "It shouldn't be the case. The owner also said that this person has been driving a foreign car for ten years. His driving habits have long been ingrained. Even if he rents a car, it must be a foreign car.
If I carry a bag with a dead body in it and get into an accident with a car I'm not driving well, it will be a big problem."
"That's right." Yuya nodded in agreement.
"I see." Hondou Eisuke understood. "In that case, the murderer is the one wearing a hat on the right?"
Youye nodded: "According to the clues known so far, he is the most likely suspect."
Hondou Eisuke said hurriedly: "Then let's call the police..."
"No," Maori Kogoro interrupted him, "What we have now is indirect evidence. There is no way to directly prove that he killed someone."
"However, the evidence we have now is enough for the police to investigate this person. I believe that the results will be revealed sooner or later. We also have a small eyewitness testimony."
"No, there is evidence." Yuya suddenly spoke.
Maori Kogoro looked at him puzzledly: "What evidence?"
Youye said: "Have you forgotten that the man threw the lighter into the river after lighting the cigarette? Since Xiaoqiao can see the tattoo on his wrist, it means that the man was not wearing gloves at the time, and fingerprints must have been left on the lighter.
As long as we find the lighter, we can prove that he was on the bridge at that time. I don't think he can provide an alibi, and with Xiao Qi's testimony..."
Hondou Eisuke leaned over the railing and looked down: "So, the lighter is right down here?"
"No," Maori Kogoro shook his head, looking at the building in the distance, and said, "The elevator of that building is protruding, and we can't see the lights on both sides completely from the bridge we are standing on, but that bridge is different. From there, we can see the lights completely, but we have to walk a distance on the bridge.
But if you go too far, the coffee pot will be too tilted and it will no longer look like a hammer, which means that the range in which you can see the glowing hammer is limited.
Combining these points, we can roughly locate the location where the body was dumped."
Hondou Eisuke asked excitedly: "So what should we do now? Should we go find the lighter or catch the murderer?"
Maori Kogoro pondered for a while, looked at Yuya and asked: "Yuya boy, do you have any plans?"
Yuya was stunned: "Uncle Kogoro, doesn't he have one?" He watched Maori Kogoro's handsome reasoning and was planning to take advantage of it.
Maori Kogoro's expression froze, and he crossed his arms and said, "Plans... Of course I have them!"
"Hmm, what is it?" Youya and everyone else looked at him expectantly.
Kogoro Mouri's IQ suddenly came online. The reasoning he just made was also what Yuya originally planned to say. I have to say that the uncle is quite manly when he gets serious.
"Well, that's very simple," Maori Kogoro pretended to cough, "Why don't we just ask the police to find the lighter?"
Everyone was speechless.
That's it?
Isn’t this the most basic approach? I thought you had some wonderful plan, but this is the result?
Maori Kogoro was a little embarrassed and shouted: "What's wrong? Isn't this the simplest and most effective way?"
Conan suddenly raised his hand and said, "I have thought of an interesting way to make the criminal confess immediately."
Everyone immediately looked at Conan.

Memorial service for Sakahiro Roku.
This was spontaneously organized by his fans.
The memorial service was halfway through when a man wearing a hat quietly left the venue and got into a car parked in the parking lot.
Just as he lowered the car window and was about to smoke a cigarette, suddenly a spark rose into the sky and exploded.
"Fireworks?" The man was stunned, turned his head and saw two men and one woman, two adults and one child, squatting in an empty space in the parking lot. Not far from them there was a bright red sports car.
The girl said to the boy in a blaming tone: "What are you doing? This is a parking lot, how can you set off fireworks here?"
The boy also said: "If the car catches fire, it will be the end!"
The man sneered contemptuously: "You playful little brat will be blown to death sooner or later..."
But that red sports car is quite luxurious. When will I be able to drive a car like that?
The man was lost in thought and was about to start the car and leave.
Just then, two men, one fat and one thin, came over.
"Hello, I'm Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department," Inspector Megure showed his ID, "Would you mind coming with us?"
The man was stunned: "Police? Why?"
Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "Someone testified that they saw a person who looked very similar to you throwing a bag containing a body down the Haido Central Bridge."
He pointed to a car behind him and said, "They just confirmed it in the car. It's you."
The man was a little panicked: "Why, did he see my face?"
Inspector Megure denied it and pointed at the man's wrist and said, "No, he didn't see your face, but the tattoo on your hand."
"Ah?" The man looked at the tattoo on his hand in surprise.
Inspector Megure said, "There are only three people with this kind of tattoo. By the way," pinching his chin, he said, "he said he heard your voice."
The man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "He must have recognized the wrong person, because there were fireworks at that time, how could he have heard my voice?"
"Huh?" Inspector Megure smiled. "You just mentioned fireworks, didn't you? Takagi, did you hear that?"
Takagi Wataru said seriously: "I heard it very clearly."
The man was still in a daze, and he only heard Inspector Megure's deep voice questioning: "Whether there were fireworks at the time, only the criminal and the witnesses should know, right?"
"Please go to the Metropolitan Police Department and explain to us in detail why you said that."
The man's face suddenly changed. Why did he subconsciously say fireworks? He turned his head sharply to look at the two adults and one child, and suddenly understood something.
"Could it be that the fireworks just now were you..."
"That's right," Maori Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and walked over very coolly, "We deliberately created a scene similar to that time and pretended to identify the criminal, just to make you say the word fireworks yourself."
He curled his lips and said, "Although I admit that this method is a bit childish, I have to admit that it is very effective."
The man was handcuffed.
The lighter was also salvaged, and it turned out to be Saka Hengluo's, which the murderer took away after killing the person.
Unable to provide a valid alibi, with Sakahime Locke's lighter with his fingerprints on it as evidence, and with the eyewitness testimony of Hashiratani Takumi, the man quickly confessed to the murder.
The motive for the murder was out of resentment towards Sakahiro Roku for abandoning the band and debuting on his own.

After taking the statement, Miyano Shiho drove everyone back.
Yuya held Conan and sat in the passenger seat - originally they were planning to let Mouri Ran come, but she refused, so Yuya had to endure the goose bumps and go in himself.
The Mori father and daughter and Hondou Eisuke sat in the back seat.
Hondou Eisuke said excitedly, "I am so lucky today. I can be at the scene of a celebrity solving a case. I am witnessing two famous detectives solving a case with my own eyes. It is so exciting!"
Kogoro Maori smiled proudly.
Hondou Eisuke looked at Maori Kogoro expectantly and asked, "Mr. Maori, there should be many events like this involving celebrities, right?"
Maori Kogoro smiled and nodded: "Yes, for example, I helped Miss Yoko deal with several incidents!"
Hondou Eisuke was surprised: "Huh?! Is it Okino Yoko, the super famous idol? Mr. Maori is amazing!"
Kogoro Mori laughed triumphantly.
Mao Lilan was very suspicious and wanted to move away from her, but the space in the back seat was limited. Although the three people were all thin, there was no extra space for her to escape.
Hondou Eisuke asked tentatively, "Then are there any incidents involving celebrities that have not been made public?"
Kogoro Mori was stunned and couldn't help but glance at Hondou Eisuke.
Hondou Eisuke continued, "For example, a celebrity secretly commissioned you, or an incident was resolved before it was reported in the news... something like that?"
Maori Kogoro's expression turned serious, and he frowned, thinking: "Have I ever...taken on such an incident?"
Hondou Eisuke shouted exaggeratedly: "Ah, it happens again." He turned to look at Yuya in the front row, "Kamiya-san, have you ever taken on a case like this?"
Yuya smiled slightly and said ambiguously: "Who knows?"
Hondou Eisuke shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, you are too stingy, just tell me what the problem is! I promise to keep it a secret!"
"Just tell me, Detective Mori!" Hondou Eisuke started to act coquettishly.
"Gahhahaha!" Kogoro Mori laughed exaggeratedly and did not answer Hondou Eisuke's question.
I don’t know if he doesn’t remember whether such an incident happened or he is deliberately not talking about it?
