Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 585 Heiji's Sense of Crisis
Social death, this term is actually very famous in Japan. Mashan is obviously in trouble now, but he is not aware of it. Instead, he looks at the boy in panic.

"I can't promise you this, Mr. Ma Shan. After all..."

It is obvious who the prototype of Miss Eno is. If Yuji dares to agree, he will definitely be loved well by Toru Amuro.

"After Mr. Mashan, it's Izumiya Hayamori."

Mr. Actor's meal was more ordinary. He just had a midnight snack and turned on the game console service in the room. However, after everyone heard that he also rented a Blu-ray CD of Light Magical Girl, the girls still couldn't help laughing.

"The most important thing is Mr. Agada. It seems that you were quite frightened. You actually ordered ten glasses of tomorrow's special drink from the bar downstairs, and even asked for five extra pieces of long ice."

Hattori Heiji snorted coldly: "If we hadn't sent someone to ask, these five long pieces of ice would not have been found."

"In fact, I guessed it when I felt the marks on the sofa." Yuji continued Hattori Heiji's words: "You hope to forge an alibi for yourself. In addition, Anzhi is not dead, and it will be difficult for the police to deny the time of the attack."

The marks on the sofa are the result of technique, because the sofas in high-end hotels are expensive and good quality, so as long as one person does not sit on them for a long time, no marks will be left.

"You put five long ice cubes on the sofa, and the long ice takes much longer to melt than ordinary ice cubes, so it will leave traces. When the long ice melts, it will seep in and there will be nothing on the surface."

"You are talking nonsense. It was Keiko Kurachi who sat on it after taking a bath and rolled to the ground while she was confused. That's why it became like this."

Yuji took out a receipt from his pocket: "I have asked the police to dismantle the sofa in Kurachi's room for the old ice used in the bar. By then, everything will be clear."

"The outcome is just as Mr. Kudo said."

The police from the forensic department walked into the restaurant with the inspection report, followed by several ordinary police officers. They came in carrying a sofa that was obviously dismantled and put it on the ground.

"During the dismantling process of the sofa in the victim's room, it can be seen that the lower layer of the built-in filling gradually turned yellow, and there was a noticeable dampness starting from the middle. It is obvious that the filling repeatedly became wet during the steaming process, which is why it has such a strange appearance."

The forensic police walked to the sofa, and while the assistant police officers on the left and right lifted up the upper layer of the sofa, they took out the black heating element from inside.

"The sofas provided by the hotel all have heating functions. If you just sit on them after taking a shower, the padding layer and the outermost leather layer cannot be damaged so badly."

The policeman pulled out a screwdriver from his back and pried it open in front of everyone: "There are three heaters in this heating element, but they are all broken. Apparently someone has been dripping water on the heating element continuously."

All of this is consistent with what the three people said, and from Agata's wonderful expression, it can be seen that he should have used this method.

"The suspicion is beyond the ordinary. Mr. Minister, you can apply to search Agata's room..."

"no need."

As expected, these were familiar words, and the corner of Kudo Yuuji's mouth hidden under his hand curled up.

"I was the one who did that to them."

Agada's eyes were fixed on the ground. "I was the one who sent the warning letter using the Izuri symbol. I attacked Nishiki and Kurachi. I originally wanted to frame Masan."

Being watched by two policemen, Mashan looked up in confusion, obviously puzzled by the hostility from Agada and the child sitting in Teacher Usami's arms not far away.

"why?"

"Needless to say, you complained about the inclusion of Kurita's name in the movie, right? I was at the corner when you and Xi Mu said Kurita was ridiculous, and I heard it clearly!"

"Just... because of this?" Ma Shan jumped up from his chair, pointed at Agata and cursed: "Asshole! It was me who complained about Izuki, it was me who said he was ridiculous, why didn't you kill me, if anything happens to Ximu, I will definitely kill you..."

"Go on, Mashan, why don't you continue..."

Agata laughed and said, "You finally understand me a little bit." "I..." Mashan looked at Agata who was relieved and said, "What about Anzhi?"

"She?! She must have been with that guy Jing Hayabusa..."

The curly-haired policeman punched Agada in the face to stop him from saying something obscene.

"Indeed, I like Anzhi very much. I have liked her since college. When we were on break, we would go to the crew to act together and go to cute shops to play. I was...already ready to confess..."

(What? You made me wait so long, Kyoko...)
(I can’t help it. You’re still a member of the Kendo Club, Moriya. You’re always late. So why did you arrive early today?)
(There are various reasons. Today I will…)
(By the way, I have good news for you. I have a boyfriend!)
(Eh?)
(Tsk, that expression of yours is like saying that there will be people who like a guy like me. That’s too much.)
(No, that's not what I mean. I mean... that)

(Yes, it’s Michio. Although he’s indecisive, that’s also a strength, right?)

[What? Isn't this completely different from me...?]

(Sorry, Moriya, Michio said that it was really weird for us to call each other that way, so he asked us to change the name...)
"Last night, I was just worried that An Zhi would be the next target, so I went to her room and sat for a while, but you..."

"If! The movie's title had included "Izukuri", he wouldn't have committed suicide!"

Agada's expression also twisted.

"In fact, we adjusted the poster. Didn't you see it?" Ma Shan looked at Agata coldly: "Because you are the only one who didn't change your name, you didn't care at all."

Following the direction of Mashan's finger, Agata understood everything the moment he saw the poster, and was sure that his best friend had definitely seen it.

"But why, after seeing it, he still wants to commit suicide..."

Ma Shan took a deep breath and showed a disgusted expression: "What he cares about is not appearing on the screen with us, but just wanting to take the red Shura Tengu for himself. Even if his name appears in this way, no one will be willing to give him a chance. You will probably understand it when you see the end of the movie."

The police dragged away the angry Isamu and the beaten Agada. The reasoning of the case was completed, and the police who had surrounded the hotel withdrew one after another.

"It's wonderful."

Minister Ito clapped his hands and walked over, ignoring the guilty Kuroba Kaito and Hattori Heiji who stood there in silence, and turned to Yuuji: "Well done."

"I didn't actually do anything. I wasn't the one who cracked the code."

"That being said, there are people who cracked the code but still couldn't catch the criminal."

[Hey! Who are you implying?] x2
"You should already know who I am, right?"

"Kaori's...grandfather? It should be okay to call him that, right?"

"Of course."

[I can tell at a glance that I don’t have many relatives, but not many is good. 】

"If you have time, bring your children to visit us. Nan Tian knows the address."

Looking at Minister Ito's back, Yuji pinched his chin and glanced at the two bodyguards on his left and right.

"So Kaori's nickname is Child?"
