Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 399: Selling books in the funeral hall, self-destructing infantry! (Seeking monthly tickets!)
"Hey... Mr. Policeman, you all heard it, right? In this case, I think I have to rush home to work."

Taking his eyes away from reporter Yamada, Saii Nobuichi looked back at Officer Yokomizo, his tone full of mockery, as if he had made some great sacrifice, "This is all for Imatake, for the unfortunate Imatake who was killed by the thief!"

However, in the eyes of Officer Yokomizo, the other party's pretentious attitude was more like a mockery of their police force.

Conan frowned slightly when he heard Nobuichi Sakai keep emphasizing the dead Satoshi Imatake.

Yes, this is the criminal! But he has an alibi!

why?

Why was he able to take pictures like that?

The camera was not tampered with, and he specially asked Xiaolan to help him take those photos, which were taken after 8:50!

There is no way to provide an alibi.

Damn, there must be a flaw!
There must be a clue that can overturn his alibi!

But just looking at this photo, I can’t find any flaws at all... Damn it!
Carefully recalling the scene at that time, Conan narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, he does...why doesn't he take off his clothes, or is there no way to do it? Why?"

Just when Conan was thinking hard but to no avail, suddenly, a white and slender hand appeared from behind him, and then the slender index finger pointed at the dark wrist of Nobuichi Saii in the photo.

Seeing this scene, Conan suddenly had an idea.

By the way, that’s it!
The murderer of Imatake Satoshi was Nobuichi Sakai. The photo must have been taken in advance during the Tenkaichi Night Festival last year. So before that, at the festival, even though he felt very hot, he was unwilling to take off the same clothes he wore last year.

I have cracked the trap! He is the culprit!

This was a planned murder!
I now fully understand what the mystery is in this alibi photo!

Thinking of this, Conan turned back and looked. He wanted to see who the owner of that hand was, who could discover the truth earlier than him, a famous high school detective.

As a result, the next moment, he saw a familiar black-haired handsome boy, it was Bai Ye. Conan was stunned for a moment, "Bai Ye!"

"You rude kid, you should call Bai Ye Big Brother..."

Bai Ye bent down, punched him lightly, and then said with a smile, "Okay, big brother Bai Ye is going to ask something now, little guy, don't move!"

Conan looked at him deeply. For some reason, he always felt that he heard a hint of warning in Bai Ye's words.

He even had the illusion that the other party had seen through his true identity.

But, how is this possible!

You know, currently only he and Dr. Agasa know that he has become smaller, and during this period of time, he has not done anything that is inconsistent with his current identity.

In addition, his original body, Kudo Shinichi, and Byakuya had only met once or twice and were not very familiar with each other.

In this situation, no matter how smart Bai Ye is, how could he possibly think of his identity as the high school detective Kudo Shinichi!
Unless, the other party is an accomplice of the two men in black he met before.

However, Conan quickly overturned this speculation.

No, that's impossible. If Bai Ye was really an accomplice of the two men in black, given the style of that organization, it would be impossible for them to not take any action for such a long time after knowing his true identity. They should have found an opportunity to get rid of him long ago.

Since Bai Ye has not taken action against him for such a long time, it means that Bai Ye is most likely not a member of that organization!
But if Bai Ye was not a member of that organization, who could he be? And why did he have the illusion that the other party actually knew his true identity?

Conan's mind was working rapidly, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not guess Bai Ye's identity.

"Forget it. No matter who he is, since he has no ill will towards me, I should not act rashly for the time being, lest I cause some unexpected incidents that could have been avoided."

Thinking of this, Conan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

You know, after suddenly changing from a high school student into a kid of only six or seven years old, in the whole world, besides himself, only his good neighbor Dr. Agasa knew his identity.

Although this situation ensured his personal safety to the greatest extent, it also brought him an indescribable loneliness.

The loneliness and fear of losing one's identity and existence are difficult to understand unless you experience it yourself.

Before this, although he was a nationally renowned high school detective, no matter how famous he was, he was ultimately just a human being, a teenager who was still in high school!
As long as one is a human being, when suddenly encountered such a situation, he or she will inevitably fall into fear and anxiety.

In the original world, this fear and anxiety gradually dissipated into thin air with the appearance of Haibara Ai, Judy, Akai Shuichi, Amuro Toru and others.

And now, whether it is Haibara Ai, Judy, Akai Shuichi, or Amuro Toru, these people have not appeared yet. Bai Ye's invisible and relatively equal attitude towards him is very precious to Conan now.

So, if possible, he hoped that Bai Ye had nothing to do with the two men in black, and had no connection with that terrible organization.

Thinking of this, after coming to his senses, Conan suddenly discovered that Bai Ye had disappeared from his sight.

Looking closely, he found that Bai Ye had left his side unknowingly and walked towards Officer Yokomizo and Shinichi Sakai who were in confrontation.

……

"I'm sorry, please let me go back first!"

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that Officer Yokomizo still refused to let him go, Sakai Nobuichi showed a hint of anger on his face, "You are really annoying. If you go too far, I will sue you!"

Officer Yokomizo took a deep breath and said, "Please wait a moment! I have something else to ask you!"

His intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with the man in front of him.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t produce any strong evidence!
After glaring at Officer Yokomizo who refused to give up, Sakai Nobuichi said with dissatisfaction, "How many times do you want me to say it? I have photos to prove my alibi!" When he said this, he paused and cast his eyes on Maori Kogoro and Bai Ye on the side, "Also, as famous detectives, you can also say a few words for me!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Officer Yokomizo beside him, his tone full of mockery and contempt, "This police officer is truly incompetent!"

Looking up at Officer Yokomizo, Bai Ye shook his head slightly, "Hey, I'm really disappointed in you, Officer Yokomizo!"

"Mr. Bai Ye?"

Officer Yokomizo was a little surprised. Didn't Bai Ye just express his doubts about Nobuichi Saii just like him? Why was he now scolding Nobuichi Saii from his perspective? Aren't they supposed to be in the same camp?
In the confusion of Officer Yokomizo, Bai Ye told the reason why he was disappointed in Officer Yokomizo, "I deliberately wanted you to come up with clues, so I didn't say anything. Unfortunately, Officer Yokomizo, you disappointed me because you didn't see through the mystery of the alibi photo that the criminal specially arranged!"

Sai Jing Xuanyi was slightly stunned, "Eh"

He originally thought that Bai Ye was speaking for him this time, but now it seems that this is not the case. Instead, it seems more like he wants to nail him to the cross of a criminal!

Officer Yokomizo's eyes lit up. "You mean?"

Bai Ye nodded, confirming his guess, "Yes, the criminal who shot and killed Imatake Satoshi in this room is Sai Shinichi who is standing next to you!"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Jingxuan's pupils suddenly shrank and cold sweat broke out on his face.

Although he had a bad feeling in his heart, he still tried to justify himself, "Please wait a moment!"

"I don't know why you dislike me, Brother Bai Ye, and why you keep targeting me, but Detective Maori has just confirmed that it was a robbery case!"

"Robbery case? I think you must have misunderstood, Mr. Shijing!" Bai Ye chuckled, "Uncle Maori, that was just to paralyze you and make you let your guard down, so I said that!"

When he said this, Bai Ye paused, looked at Maori Kogoro beside him, and confirmed, "That's right, Uncle Maori!"

Noticing his gaze, Maori Kogoro laughed dryly and nodded, "Yes, that's it!"

Although he didn't know why Bai Ye wanted to help him "change his confession", he believed that the other party would not harm him!
With a light cough, Bai Ye attracted everyone's attention and began his own reasoning, "In fact, I saw through your entire conspiracy the first time I saw the victim! This is a case committed by an acquaintance!"

Although Sai Jing Xuanyi was extremely flustered, he did not lose his composure. "Where is your evidence?"

"The evidence..." Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and said confidently, "It's just the tooth powder on the victim's mouth, and the toothbrush fell near him!"

"That is to say, the victim was brushing his teeth before he was shot!"

"What do you mean by that?"

The cold sweat on Shijing Xuanyi's forehead flowed down unconsciously, but he was still trying to argue for himself, "Everyone brushes their teeth, right?"

"Yes, everyone can brush their teeth, that's true." Bai Ye looked at Sai Jingxuanyi, who was a little panicked, and said meaningfully, "But holding a toothbrush, with tooth powder in your mouth, and opening the door to greet strangers, generally speaking, this shouldn't happen, right?"

When he said this, Bai Ye paused, "Also, there is one more thing, which is the condition of this room!"

"The criminal fled immediately after the gunshot! And the witnesses rushed to the vicinity of the crime scene immediately after hearing the gunshot. The whole process took no more than a minute!"

"Do you think it's possible for the criminals to make such a mess in such a short time?"

Obviously, it is impossible to make the whole room so messy in just one or two minutes.

Unless, this was messed up before the shooting!
Most people simply don't have the opportunity to do this.

Only Nobuichi Sakai, the roommate of Satoshi Imatake, has such an opportunity!
Hearing this, Shijing Xuanyi's pupils suddenly dilated and cold sweat flowed uncontrollably from his forehead.

Taking in his expression, Bai Ye sneered, "I'm afraid that's what the criminal did on purpose before killing the victim in order to make it look like a robbery case."

"I see..." He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Sai Jing Xuanyi said in a deep voice, "According to the situation at the scene, all the evidence is against me. No wonder you suspect me, Brother Bai Ye!"

"But I have a perfect alibi!"

As he spoke, Saii Xuanyi pointed to the photo on the table and said, "The alibi shown in that photo!"

Damn it, he didn’t expect that in addition to that guy named Yokogo, Bai Ye, who was equally sharp, also had his eyes on him.

In fact, the series of evidence produced by the other party was extremely unfavorable to him!

Fortunately, he was well prepared, otherwise he might have really fallen into the hands of the little devil in front of him today!
"How do you explain this?"

"This..."

Bai Ye looked up at the photo on the table, his expression unchanged, "I'm afraid this is the photo you took when you came to participate in this festival before!"

"Then, you keep the camera intact until today's festival, and then pretend that it was accidental and ask Xiaolan to take the second photo for you!"

"It's a pretty simple plan, but since you're wearing the same clothes, there's no difference between you and the photo we took today!"

At this point, Bai Ye seemed to have thought of something and added, "By the way, you endured the scorching heat but refused to take off your clothes because you didn't want the you in the photo to be different from before. Am I right, Mr. Shijing?"

To be honest, Nobukazu Saii's series of plans are really good and he is well prepared.

What a pity that I met him!

As a time traveler who knows the plot, no matter how fantastic what Nobuichi Sakai says is, he will not be fooled by it!
"Hahaha……"

Hearing this, Shijing Xuanyi raised his head and laughed, "Brother Bai Ye, you really have a very rich imagination!"

"But, I would like to ask you, how can you prove that the photo was taken at a previous festival?"
