Kexue Magician

Chapter 29 Life is like a play
"No!"

"I killed Anxi! I am the murderer!"

Yuji Shimazaki clenched his fist and said firmly, as if he thought that as long as he resolutely confessed his guilt and Mamegaki Taeko remained silent, he would be able to take the blame for his beloved.

"Then what is your motive?"

Police officer Megure touched the hat on his head solemnly, looked at Yuji Shimazaki and asked.

Shimazaki Yuji frowned, and was silent for a few seconds before replying: "I don't like him, and then..."

"Stop it! Yuji!"

"Mr. Fengchu is right, I killed Anxi."

Taeko Mamegaki was deeply moved by her fiancé's protection, because she had found a man worth entrusting her whole life to. However, she still couldn't escape the punishment of the law and couldn't accompany him in the next few years or even ten years.

"Taiko!" Yuji Shimazaki cried sadly.

Officer Megure shook his head slightly, and asked, "Then do you know that Mr. Shimazaki is pretending to be Morio Anzai?"

"I don't know, that's why I was so terrified when I saw Anxi again at the hotel at 22:[-], as if I had seen a ghost."

Mamegaki Taeko replied calmly with eyes like stagnant water.

"Why, Miss Taeko, why did you kill him!"

Why do you want to kill someone when you are going to enter the palace of marriage next month and start a happy life?Mao Lilan still can't believe it.

"Maybe like Brother Nazhi, sister Taeko was also blackmailed by Anxi."

Conan, who felt sorry for Ran, spoke out immediately before Mamegaki Taeko could speak.

"Yes."

"When I was in high school, my parents died in an accident. In the rebellious period, I once gave up on myself. I didn't go to school without telling my grandfather, but hung out with bad friends who pursued pleasure."

"It was also at that time that I met Anxi."

"Grandpa, at that time, the precious priest's utensils were stolen from the warehouse of our shrine, and Mr. Sugiyama, who was in charge of the warehouse, committed suicide because of self-blame. Do you still remember?"

Taeko Mamegaki suddenly talked about the past, which made Hisaku Mamegaki more and more uneasy.

"I remember, could it be..."

As the priest of the shrine, Hisaku Mamegaki's eyes widened, his hands trembling violently.

"It's all my fault. I inadvertently told Anxi about the priest's utensils."

"Then, then Anxi sneaked into the shrine without telling me, stole the priest's utensils and sold them!"

"Mr. Sugiyama's suicide terrified me very much. I wanted to say it but I couldn't say it. From then on, I cut off contact with Anxi and the others and went to school seriously. I thought everything would pass. Who knew that Anxi would appear just when Yuji and I were getting married. .”

Having said that, Mamegaki Taeko stopped, her lips were tightly closed, and her fists were clenched tightly.

"And you were blackmailed?" Officer Megure asked.

"Yes, he said that I must be responsible for Mr. Sugiyama's suicide. I was very scared because I was going to marry Yuji. Then I compromised and gave him money, but he was still not satisfied."

"In just one month, he has blackmailed me four times, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger. I thought, if this continues, my marriage with Yu Er will be ruined!"

"So, when he was about to blackmail me again tonight, I came with a knife, and I told him to come here for this, and not to appear in front of me and Yuji again, but Anxi was very angry and rushed towards me viciously , then, then..."

Taeko Mamegaki broke down in tears, and slowly knelt down on the approach.

"You shouldn't have compromised, Taeko-san!"

"It is precisely because you dare not tell the police that you are afraid of being punished, which makes Anxi Shounan even more arrogant; it is also because of the compromise in the past that led to today's tragedy and faced more serious consequences."

Police officer Megure, who has seen too many similar incidents, gave life advice, but unfortunately, it was too late.

"I really never thought of killing him! Really! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Similar words.

Similar scenarios.

Everything is exactly as in the script "The Smiling Intimidator".

The only difference, perhaps, is that Yoko Okino is acting in drama, while Taeko Mamegaki is acting in life.

Shimazaki Yuji walked up to Mamegaki Taeko and squatted down, he stretched out his arms to hug Mamegaki Taeko.

"I'm sorry Yuji, I'm sorry for you! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Taiko..."

Mamegaki Taeko burst into tears on Shimazaki Yuji's chest, and Shimazaki Yuji's face was full of love.

Mao Lilan, who witnessed the tragedy and was sentimental, had tears in her eyes.

Okino Yoko also hugged Mao Lilan emotionally, it seemed that only in this way could she feel a little warmth.

The staff of Nichimai TV turned their heads one after another, as if they didn't want to see such a sad scene again, and they seemed not to want others to see the tears in their eyes.

After a long time, Mamegaki Taeko was taken away by the police.

Hisakuzu Mamegaki's body also bent down, and his lonely figure became even more bleak in the night.

······
The front page of "Dongdu Daily": Mori Kogoro was criticized angrily, and the koma dog and the lion were stupidly confused!
"Kanto Daily" Second Edition: The more you give in, the more you suffer!
The third page of "Nichimai Daily": Refuse to extort!The law is the most solid backing of the people!
In the Maori Detective Agency office.

"Yesterday, Mori Kogoro hit the right side and deduced that Mamegaki Taeko was the murderer, but apologized for the false alibi. Later, Mori Kogoro was questioned by the shrine priest, but he couldn't even tell the difference between a komadog and a lion."

"This makes the public doubt whether Mori Kogoro, who, as a consultant of Nichimai TV, chose Mihua Shrine as the shooting location, is really the original author of "The Smiling Intimidator"..."

"The director of Polo Cafe, Fengchu, has made another move after cracking the case of Keiji Aso! Witnessed Kogoro Mori..."

Mori Kogoro, who tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night, went to the store early in the morning to buy three newspapers.

When he returned to the detective agency, he found that things were exactly as he had imagined.

The newspapers strongly criticized Mori Kogoro for not being worthy of his name, and compared him with Feng Chu of the Poirot Cafe, saying that a professional detective is not as good as an amateur who sells coffee.

"driving me mad!"

"Who wrote this issue of Dongdu Daily!"

"You actually said that my famous detective Mori Kogoro is not as good as a coffee seller?!"

Mori Kogoro jumped into a rage, although the lethality was not great, but it was extremely insulting!Make it difficult for him to accept!

"Dad, you have the nerve to say it!"

Facing her father who was unwilling to accept the reality, Mao Lilan couldn't help saying with her hands on her hips.

"Xiao Lan! Let me tell you!"

"How can that kid Fengchu compare with my famous detective Mouri Kogoro! I made a mistake this time mainly because I was sober!"

"I'm the sleeping Kogoro! The second personality was suppressed when I was awake, and it was just a moment of carelessness, which resulted in my strength not being fully displayed! If I fall asleep, I will beat that brat Fengchu every minute!"

In the past, I often reasoned about cases in a sleeping position and repeatedly solved strange cases, so I was called "Sleeping Kogoro".

In this regard, Mori Kogoro has long suspected that he has a dual personality.

With the outbreak of this big crisis, he had no choice but to throw out his unfinished theory in order to save his reputation!

"Is it really?"

Mori Ran looked at Kogoro Mori suspiciously.

"of course!"

Mori Kogoro patted his chest vigorously and said firmly.

Then, Mao Lilan thought about it for a long time before accepting Kogoro Mori's statement, which made Kogoro Mori feel his daughter's adoring eyes again.

Uncle, you'd better think like this~
On the sofa, Conan, the mastermind behind the comic book, laughed secretly.
