Next, Mori Kogoro

Chapter 129 [Chapter 128] I'm so stupid
"The victim secretly handed this to me. From the scribbled handwriting with lipstick and the napkins everywhere in the auditorium, it seems that the person who wrote this note was in a hurry. But in fact, this is exactly what the murderer designed. It’s a trap He wants us to think.”

"The evidence is that there are no other fingerprints on this note except Sayuri Matsumoto, me, and Conan. Just imagine, if the person who wrote this note wrote it with lipstick on a whim Then, will you be careful enough to remove your own fingerprints?"

With that said, Kogoro handed the note to Police Officer Megure.

Officer Megure, who was wearing gloves, took the note carefully, put it in an evidence bag, and handed it to Sato: "Immediately hand it over to the Appraisal Section for appraisal."

Sato nodded, turned around and left quickly.

"Then who wrote this note?"

Matsumoto Qingchang couldn't help asking.

Kogoro did not answer, but continued: "Then the problem arises, since the person who wrote this note had planned it beforehand, why did he write it by hand instead of printing it or using a method that can cover up his own handwriting?"

He looked around: "The only answer is that the words on the note were not written by Him at all."

"I'm sorry, Brother Maori, I'm confused about what you said."

Police officer Mumu raised his hand: "Could someone write it for you? But who would help write such a sentence, isn't the murderer alone?"

"Yes, strictly speaking, the murderer is not alone."

Kogoro raised two fingers: "The person who wrote this note and the poisoner are actually two people."

Conan was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. With a flash of inspiration in his mind, he subconsciously blurted out: "I understand."

Everyone looked at him when they heard the words, Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Conan, what do you understand?"

"No... nothing."

Seeing Xiaolan's expression, Conan's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head to pretend to be transparent.

"You must have thought of something, tell me quickly, even if you say something wrong, everyone won't blame you, right?"

Xiaolan stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Yes, kid, just say what you want."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga also spoke.

"I... I'm just guessing, could the person who wrote this note be... Sayuri Matsumoto herself?"

Conan lowered his head and summoned up his courage to speak.

"..."

After the deathly silence, there was an uproar.

"how is this possible?"

"Why did Sayuri do this?"

"Kids are kids, they can think wildly."

"enough!"

The Xiaolan River East lion roared, instantly calming the audience: "What are you arguing about? Conan must have his reasons for saying this. If there is any disagreement, wait for him to explain clearly!"

Everyone shut their mouths obediently and looked at Conan quietly, as if waiting for his explanation.

Even if Conan didn't look up, he could still feel the gazes of the crowd, and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling for a while.He just felt that Xiaolan was weird, so he kept a low profile, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't control himself.

Now it seems that Xiaolan seems to be suspicious of herself.

What should I do?
Uncle Kogoro, help me.

Conan raised his head sneakily, and looked at Kogoro pitifully, the aggrieved eyes almost made Kogoro laugh out loud.

"Cough cough..."

Kogoro coughed hard twice, trying to maintain the posture of a famous detective: "Actually, what this kid said is right. He is indeed my senior disciple. Although he is still young, his eyes are still very clear."

"what?"

"This child turned out to be Mr. Maori's disciple?"

The eyes of everyone looking at Conan changed again, with envy, jealousy and hatred. Now Conan not only felt his scalp tingling, but also his ass tightened.

It seems that the matter of worshiping Uncle Kogoro as his teacher is a certainty.

Conan smiled helplessly.

"In a case I handled not long ago, the victim deliberately drowned in order to test whether her boyfriend was sincere to her. I think Sayuri's starting point for writing this note should be the same. It is also because she wrote the note herself strip, so there are no other people's fingerprints on it."

Kogoro shook his head and said helplessly: "A woman is a woman. No matter how rational she is, once she falls in love, she will act emotionally. Especially if there are people around to encourage her, then she will not be able to keep calm."

"I think the whole process is like this. After Matsumoto Sayuri learned about Mr. Takasugi's past, she has been very worried about his feelings for her. So at someone's suggestion, she came up with this method to test Takasugi Mister. But after Takasugi-san told everything and cleared the knot between the two, Sayuri Matsumoto wanted to cancel this test."

"However, someone stopped her. In order to keep this plan going, I persuaded Sayuri to make it a detective game at the wedding. After all, there are many police officers who came to the wedding. And use this game to try to relieve Takasugi. The relationship between Mister and the Matsumoto Police Department can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Faced with such a proposal, Sayuri was of course moved, so she agreed. But it is not appropriate to tell the police in this game, because the police will definitely conduct a large-scale investigation, and may even suspend the wedding. But if you entrust other detectives who are not familiar with it, and I was worried that the detectives would call the police. So at first Sayuri wanted to give this note to Kudo Shinichi."

When Kogoro said this, Xiaolan suddenly realized, and said, "That's why Mrs. Sayuri asked about Shinichi's whereabouts. After learning that Dad, you came to the wedding, I immediately felt relieved."

"Yes."

Kogoro interjected: "According to Sayuri Matsumoto's script, I handed over the note to the detective to create the illusion that someone wanted to kill someone at the wedding. Then, waiting for the opportunity, I bit the blood in my mouth and pretended to be poisoned. At this time, my partner Come forward, announce the start of the game, and guide Mr. Takasugi and the Matsumoto police to jointly solve this case."

"That's why, when Sayuri coughs up blood, she spits out a small plastic bag from her mouth, which is the blood bag."

Kogoro snorted: "I have to say, if it wasn't for being poisoned in the end, this would be a very good idea."

"Then why is Sayuri really poisoned?"

Matsumoto Qingchang seemed to understand something, and shouted in a deep voice: "Could it be that accomplice tampered with that blood bag?"

"Not only that, the murderer used capsules to poison the lemon tea just to be on the safe side. Police Matsumoto, as I said, it was a trap from the beginning."

Kogoro turned his head to look at someone: "I'm right, the real culprit who guides everything is Sayuri Matsumoto's best friend, Toshihiko Takasugi's ex-girlfriend, Ms. Kazumi Takenaka."

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard the words, and they all turned to look at Kazumi Takenaka.

Takenaka Kazumi also looked very surprised: "Mr. Mori, stop joking, this is not funny at all."

"No, I'm not joking, the only one who has the ability to do all this is you, not anyone else."

Kogoro said firmly.

Kazumi Takenaka took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Really? Then please Mr. Mori to come up with evidence. If it's just the reasoning just now, I'm not convinced. Just tell a story."

"evidence?"

Kogoro laughed strangely: "Did you forget something? Saiduri Matsumoto is not dead, she will tell everything as soon as she wakes up. Since Ms. Kazumi Takenaka is so calm, let's just wait patiently."

Takenaka Kazumi's face instantly turned pale, so pale that there was no trace of blood.After a while, she thumped and knelt on the ground, and smiled helplessly: "Yeah, I'm so stupid, the biggest evidence is still alive."
