Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 441

"Your reasoning is brilliant, but you may not know that I am the leader of this group."

Looking at Conan who was talking confidently, the elevator lady sneered, then took out a pistol from her arms and fired a shot at Conan, making a hole in the ground in front of Conan's feet.

Seeing this scene, Conan was so scared that he ran upstairs in a hurry.

Damn it! She actually opened fire without even saying anything. This woman is too dangerous!

But now that things have come to this, how could he not know that his reasoning was correct and that the elevator lady was really in cahoots with those robbers.

Fortunately, not long after, the police arrived at the department store, and with their help, Conan successfully subdued the gang of robbers...

……

In an antique villa, Conan was squatting by the pond and paddling in the water, bored, while Bai Ye was sitting with Mao Li Ran, staring at the clouds in the distance in a daze.

“That’s absolutely correct!”

From the quiet room next door came Maori Kogoro's voice, "Your wife is having an affair!"

"I still don't understand, why did uncle bring us here to investigate an affair?"

Conan smiled bitterly when he heard Kogoro's words, and Mouri Ran nodded in agreement.

Bai Ye said in a gloomy tone, "Compared to this, I am more curious. It is already late. Uncle Maori would not want us to stay here to 'eat', right?"

"It's possible"

The two were arguing when they suddenly heard footsteps at the same time. "Are there any guests coming to visit?" Conan asked casually.

"I guess so?"

"So, who is this man next to her!" The male host's roar came, and the anger seemed to be felt through the door.

"This... is not clear yet!" Just as Kogoro Mouri finished speaking, the doorbell rang suddenly.

"There are guests," the host shouted, "Is there anyone who wants to go and see? Oh, by the way," he stood up, "because you were coming, I asked the servants to go out for a walk, so no one is home." The host opened the door, "Sorry, I would like to invite the guests to the living room for a while." Then he walked out.

……

More than an hour passed and Kogoro Mouri was lying on the floor of the living room bored, when the phone suddenly rang.

After the phone rang for more than ten times and no one answered, Maori Kogoro finally couldn't stand it anymore. "What is this old man doing?" He walked out of the door angrily and walked to the phone, but the phone suddenly stopped ringing.

"Damn it!" Kogoro Mouri cursed, turned around and went back to the room.

"Sister Xiaolan, did you hear any strange noises?" Conan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"No!" Mao Lilan said with a smile, "I didn't hear anything!"

The golden sun sets in the west, and the sunset glows.

"I say, why is this old man so slow!" Conan's legs were numb from squatting, and he complained to Bai Ye who was drowsy beside him.

At this time, the phone rang again, and Conan immediately became alert. However, the phone rang once and then fell silent again.

Being disturbed, Maori Kogoro walked out of the room again. "What happened to this old man? Why hasn't he come out for so long?" Maori Kogoro couldn't help but complain. "It's been two hours!"

"Ding-ling-ling!" The phone rang again, but just like last time, it rang once and then hung up.

The phone rang again. What was going on?
Conan thought of the strange sound just now and couldn't help but frowning. He was about to ask Bai Ye, but found that Bai Ye was concentrating, with his nostrils flaring, as if he was sniffing something.

"What are you smelling?" Conan couldn't help but ask.

"Do you smell anything?" Bai Ye said with a frown.

Conan blinked in confusion, "No?!"

Is there any smell around here? Why doesn't he smell it?!
"I can't bear it any longer!" Maori Kogoro's anger finally reached its maximum. "I want to go to the living room and take a look!"

"Hey, I'm starving!" Conan lowered his eyelids and imagined what he would eat later.

"what!!!!"

A female scream pierced the sky, and Conan and Bai Ye jumped up almost at the same time.

"Sure enough, something happened!" Bai Ye said softly to Conan, "What I smelled just now should be the smell of blood!"

The two quickly ran to where the sound came from, only to see such a shocking scene.

Kogoro Mouri sat on the ground with his head covered, and opposite him sat a fat middle-aged woman.

"What happened?" Conan said sharply.

"Ah, who are you?" another woman exclaimed.

"Who are you?" Kogoro Mouri said, covering his head.

"We are the maids here," a woman said in horror, "Who are you!"

"We are" Kogoro Mouri was about to explain, but was interrupted by another female voice.

"What's all the fuss about?" A woman in a kimono stood by the door. "Who are you?" she said to Kogoro Mouri.

"Madam, this man is walking around our house as he pleases!" the maid said first.

"Thief!" the hostess was shocked.

Come on, have you ever seen a thief who brings a child to steal things? Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I'm not a thief," Maori Kogoro shouted excitedly, "I'm a detective hired by your husband!"

"Detective?" The hostess glanced at Kogoro, who immediately realized his mistake and covered his mouth. "What is a detective doing in our house?"

"Well." Kogoro smiled awkwardly, "You should ask your husband yourself!"

Could he say that he was asked by the other woman's husband to investigate whether the woman in front of him was having an affair?

Definitely not!
"Go and call the gentleman over." The hostess ordered, and the maid agreed and left.

"So," the hostess lowered her eyelids, "how far have you progressed?"

"Uh this" Kogoro Mouri was dumbfounded.

"I can double your money!" The hostess rushed to Kogoro, "But you must keep my affair a secret!"

"It doesn't seem to be any incident!" Conan teased Bai Ye.

"No!" Unexpectedly, Bai Ye said solemnly, "It's so noisy outside, but the male owner can still sit still! It seems..."

"what!"

The second scream today echoed throughout the house, and Conan and his companions immediately looked towards the living room. They saw two maids collapsed on the ground in fear, trembling from time to time, obviously very frightened.

Kogoro Mouri, Conan and Byakuya rushed into the house and were also stunned. Conan's pupils suddenly shrank.

The male owner of the house, Marudenjiro, was covered in blood, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, he had an expression of unwillingness to close his eyes, and a Japanese sword went straight through his chest!

Outside the window, the gorgeous sunset cast a blood-red hue over the entire house.

"The deceased is Marudenjiro, 51 years old, and the owner of this house." After inspecting the scene, Officer Megure turned to the hostess Maru Inako and asked, "Does your husband practice kendo?"

"Yes." The hostess lowered her head and said, "There are already three sections."

……

"The itinerary is packed with details!" Officer Megure said, looking at the manual. "Conan, are you sure you saw the visiting guest?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded, "Bai Ye and I saw it together, but we only saw the feet."

"So... today's schedule is..." Inspector Megure looked at the manual, "Mouri Kogoro, Suwa Yuji, Hatano Ikuya..."

"Hatano Ichiya?" Bai Ye almost laughed out loud. Someone else called him by that name? He saw a hint of embarrassment on Officer Megure's face, and he couldn't help but laugh even more happily. Conan looked at him with contempt.

"...and Akutsu Makoto, these four people!" After Inspector Megure finished reading the arrangement plan, suddenly a policeman shouted.

"Officer! We found a strange man!"

"What!" Officer Megure turned around suddenly and saw a policeman hugging a man wearing glasses tightly. "He has been lingering in front of the house!"

"I'm not a suspicious man!" the man said in panic.

"Dr. Hatano!" exclaimed the hostess Maru Ineko.

"Hatano?" Officer Megure looked at the manual. "Is this Mr. Hatano Ikuya?"

"Yes," Maru Ineko said quickly, "He is my husband's attending physician. My husband needs to come to him for treatment every week."

"Is it the doctor..." Inspector Megure was hesitating when another voice came.

"Let me go! Let me go! I told you to let me go, did you hear me?"

Everyone turned around and saw a rough-faced man shouting angrily. He was being held by two policemen. "Do you know who I am? I am the great artist Akutsu!"

"Akutsu Makoto?" Officer Megure asked. "So, three of the four people I planned to visit today have arrived!"

"I know!" Mouri Kogoro's pseudo-detective sixth sense was activated again, "The murderer must have been here, so the murderer must be Suwa Yuji who hasn't come yet!" A gleam of wisdom flashed in Mouri Kogoro's eyes.

"I'm here. Is there any problem?" A voice came from behind Kogoro Mouri.

"Ah!" Maori Kogoro was startled, and saw a man with narrow eyes and a mustache standing behind him. "I'm Suwa, what's the problem? Why are you so noisy?"

"Are you saying that I was the one who killed Mr. Denjiro?" Suwa Yuji said angrily.

"You'll know after you see the scene." Maori Kogoro said confidently, "The man who killed the host was a very powerful kendo master, and you happened to have practiced Japanese kendo, so you must be the murderer!"

Ever since Conan and others determined that Suwa was a kendo master, Conan found a reason to tell Inspector Megure about this. When Kogoro Mori learned about it, he immediately started screaming.

"This is a misunderstanding!" Mr. Suwa shouted, "I'm here just to return the money to Mr. Denjiro, the 5 million yen I borrowed from him." As he said this, he took out two dozen bills from his pocket.

"Uh," the embarrassed Maori Kogoro was pushed away by Inspector Megure, "The murder happened between three and five o'clock. Where were you at this time?"

"As for me, I should be meditating alone in the martial arts hall!" Mr. Suwa thought for a moment and replied.

"Then, is there anyone who can testify for you?" Officer Megure said majestically.

"Uh no."

"Hey, I think this is a bit strange!" Mao Lilan suddenly said, "Look, the way to hold the knife is wrong, right?"

"So," Inspector Megure was shocked, "someone deliberately let him hold the knife!"

"Are you trying to put the blame on Mr. Suwa?" Kogoro Mori also spoke up.

"Besides, in this room," Conan said, looking around, "no matter how much we kill each other, we won't leave scars all over the roof and walls, right?"

"Speaking of brother Kudo," Officer Megure said, "Has Xiaolan still contacted him? It seems that he has been trying to disappear recently!"

"No." Mao Lilan shook her head gently, "Shinichi hasn't called me, and I don't know where he is."

"Is that so?" Inspector Megure pondered for a moment, then turned back to look at Maori Kogoro and Akutsu Makoto, "Then, what are you two doing here?"

Although Brother Kudo is not here, with Brother Bai Ye here, he can still help the police solve the case in the shortest time possible.

In other words, in some ways, his new brother is more useful than his previous brother Kudo.

After all, the other party solves cases much faster than a high school detective!

"I'm here to ask Mr. Denjiro to extend the loan you gave me." Akutsu Makoto said with his head down.

"As for me," Maori Kogoro said with an awkward smile, "I just came to report to Mr. Denjiro the result of his commission, which is a report on his wife's affair."

Although he didn't want to tell others about his commission, if he didn't say it, he was afraid that he would become a suspect in this murder case!

"The madam is having an affair!!" the maids in the room screamed collectively.

"idiot."

"There is actually a detective who would reveal the contents of his commission." Conan was speechless.

"Then what are you doing?" Inspector Megure asked the last person, Hatano Jiya.

"Me. Me." Dr. Hatano was suddenly speechless when he heard Inspector Megure's question.

Because he really didn't dare to say what he had done!

Otherwise, today will be the day when he is disgraced!

"Same smell." Conan suddenly said, "Auntie, you smell exactly like that uncle!"

"Why!!!"

Everyone looked at the wife and the doctor.

Under what circumstances will a woman smell like another man?
