Conan: Money Talks

"Don't worry! Inspector Megure!"Mouri Kogoro made a gesture that it was all right!

"Ahem, then just start talking!"

"But before I start, I need to look at the palms of everyone present!"

Maori Kogoro stepped forward and said

"Hey, hey! Brother Mori? Why are you looking at people's palms for no reason?"

Even Shiota Heihachiro in the audience laughed and said,"Kogoro, you are still as nonsensical as before!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I have my own purpose for looking at your palm!"Mouri Kogoro raised his voice and said

"You don't want to read my palm? Why should I read your palm?" Tateoka Junichi retorted

"Haha, if he doesn't dare to stretch out his hand, then that person must be the murderer!"

Everyone present opened their eyes wide.

"How ridiculous! Isn't it just looking at the palm? Can you tell who the murderer is?"Yuichi Ueda stretched out his hand.

Several other people stretched out their hands, but there was only a thin figure in the crowd who was reluctant to open his palm.

""Miss Sasaki Hitomi, why don't you open your palm? Are you hiding something?"

Maori Kogoro turned to Sasaki Hitomi, who was looking down and not saying a word.

"Brother Maori! What on earth is going on?"Inspector Megure also walked in front of Sasaki Hitomi,"Miss Sasaki Hitomi, please cooperate with the investigation!"

Sasaki Hitomi still said nothing, her hands clenched tightly.

"Because she is the murderer of Oide Shoko! That's why she doesn't dare to open her palm!"

Mouri Kogoro pointed at her and said

"What is going on?"

"I will explain step by step how Ms. Sasaki killed someone!"

Mouri Kogoro walked to the center of the stage again.

"Let's first explain how Miss Sasaki poisoned the woman! Look up! There is a crooked star decoration on the top of the beam! Miss Oide Shoko is right below this decoration! Miss Sasaki used the star decoration to poison the woman! Inspector Megure, if you go and check, you will definitely find potassium cyanate on the surface of the star decoration!"

"But brother Maori! Even if you use this method, you need to know Miss Xiangzi's location in advance to achieve it!"

"I remember there was a term called"positioning" in the stage play. Using this method, we can know the position of the deceased in advance! Is that right? Director"

Director Motoki nodded and said,"That's right!"

Maori Kogoro continued,"But this is not enough. If the poisonous juice falls from the stars, will there be risks?"

"risk?"

"Yes, because the sound of water dripping into the cup would be immediately noticed by the two actors, so Ms. Sasaki also prepared another thing!"

"What?"

""Fishing line!" Maori Kogoro looked around,"If we look for it, we will definitely find the remaining fishing line! The murderer used that kind of fishing line, added potassium cyanate to the fishing line, and then wrapped the fishing line around the star decorations, using gravity to make the fishing line fall straight down. She only needed to control the speed of the fishing line from the side!"

"But won’t it be seen? Although the line is transparent, as long as you have good eyesight, you can still see it!"

"This is nothing to worry about as it is not visible at all!"

"Can't see?"

"I remember that during the last scene of the performance, all the lights in the venue were turned off, leaving only the lights around the male and female leading actors, and the lights were very strong, so there was no need to worry about the fishing line being discovered by the deceased!"

"Then why can we tell who the real murderer is just by looking at the palm of the hand?"Just after Inspector Megure asked this question, the person in charge of the investigation ran over and reported to Inspector Megure:"Inspector Megure, after our testing, we did find traces of potassium cyanate on the star decoration!"

Inspector Megure nodded.

Kogoro Mouri continued:"Did you continue to observe the star decoration? Didn't you notice that it was crooked?"

Inspector Megure took another look,"It really is!"

"This is the key! After the murderer was done, she was very nervous and anxious. So when she was retrieving the fishing line after poisoning it, the fishing line got stuck on the star decoration on the beam, and no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't get it off. So Ms. Sasaki pulled it hard, causing the star decoration to become crooked!"

Inspector Megure widened his eyes,"Could it be that..."

"Yes, there must be traces of pulling the fishing line on her hands!"

""Ms. Sasaki, please stretch out your hands!" Inspector Megure turned around and ordered.

Sasaki Hitomi hesitated for a moment before she stretched out her hands tremblingly.

On both of her hands, there were traces of fishing line!

This also became the ironclad evidence against her!

"Why did you kill her?" Inspector Megure asked

"Is it because she took me away from you?" Yuda Yuichi next to him said in surprise

"Don't be so self-indulgent! You are with her only because you have changed your mind.But after she dumped you, she said to me: 'I don't need that man anymore, I'll give him back to you!' From that moment on, I really understood that the woman deliberately snatched you away from me to show off her charm in front of me! I can't forgive her!!"

The case was finally solved, and Maori Kogoro was finally proud of himself in front of Shiota Heihachiro!

"Haha, Kogoro, I didn't expect that you've changed so much during my absence! HahaYou really have the style of my youth!"

Shiota Heihachiro patted Maori Kogoro on the shoulder and said

""You are so shameless!" Maori Kogoro muttered.

Shiota Heihachiro directly gave him a Thousand Years of Killing,"You unworthy disciple, don't think I can't hear you!!"

Maori Kogoro jumped up while covering his painful spot,"Hey! You old man, you are too strong!!"

"But Megure is still the same, he has to rely on others to solve the case"Heihachiro Shiota said to Inspector Megure,"You really haven't made any progress at all!"

Inspector Megure's face turned black,"Master Shiota,You're not much better, are you?"

"Boy, have you forgotten who helped you with the case of the floating corpse in the reservoir?"

"You!" Inspector Megure lowered his head.
