In Conan, people have a brain option system

"Officer Megure! The murder weapon was found! It's in Saihara's bag!"

The police's shouts almost caused Nishihara Koichi to have a cardiac arrest.

"Weapon?! What weapon?! Rope?! How could that thing be in my bag?!"

"Could it be that Qiuchuan entered my room and put it in my bag while I was performing on stage?"

Koichi Nishihara is certain of two things.

That is, it is impossible for Akikawa Kyousuke to know that he is the murderer who attacked him.

The only person who touched the murder weapon (two strands of hemp rope) was Akikawa Kyousuke.

Considering these two points,

That is Akikawa Kyousuke found out that he had been framed after waking up, and then secretly entered his room and stuffed the rope into his bag.

On the premise that Akikawa Kongsuke doesn't know that he is the real murderer, it means that Akikawa Kongsuke can only deliberately "frame" himself.

After thinking about this, Koichi Nishihara quickly shouted:

"Impossible! How could there be any murder weapon in my bag?"

"This must be a frame-up! Someone must be framing me!!"

"Someone must have put the murder weapon into my bag while I was performing on stage!!"

"Officer, you must confirm carefully! No matter what that thing is, it can't be me."

Koichi Nishihara shouted loudly,

However, when he saw the wet wig taken out by the detective who entered his lounge to check,

The words he tried to explain were stuck in his throat.

"What is this?!"

"wig?!"

Nishihara Koichi felt that his brain began to become more and more confused.

He really couldn't figure out what the relationship between this wig and the murder weapon was.

Apparently he strangled the lighting engineer named Uesugi with a rope.

But why? !

The criminal policemen and detectives in front of me all looked like they had naturally found the murder weapon, right? !

"Nishihara, this thing was found in your bag. Did you say it's not yours?"

Megure Thirteen asked Nishihara Koichi.

"I don't know! I've never seen this thing before!!"

"Someone must be trying to frame me!"

"Then who do you think is trying to frame you?"

Sera Masumi asked at this time.

"Akikawa Kyusuke! It must be him!!"

Koichi Nishihara shouted.

On the side, Okino Yoko's eyes twitched slightly after hearing what Nishihara Koichi said.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened, but weren't there two victims in this case?"

"One of the lighting engineers named Uesugi died, but Akikawa survived. Don't you think it's strange?"

Koichi Nishihara tried his best to play an innocent character who was framed and explained to the police and detectives present.

"Then, may I ask, Mr. Nishihara, why do you think Akikawa wanted to frame you?"

"He must be jealous of my results! I've heard before that Akikawa only got last place in our company's internal training."

"That's not right, Mr. Nishihara."

Okino Yoko tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said coldly.

"How do I remember that you just said a few minutes ago that you have a very good relationship with Akikawa-kun in private?"

Okino Yoko's voice was not loud, but it made Nishihara Koichi, who was still chattering and making up lies, suddenly stop.

"Yes, I also remember that Mr. Nishihara just said that Brother Akikawa is very happy because you gave him guidance, Mr. Nishihara, and helped him successfully get the role. He often takes the initiative to come to Mr. Nishihara for advice on acting."

Conan added in his innocent voice.

"On the other hand, Mr. Nishihara, you seem to have been dissatisfied because Brother Akikawa took away your role."

"This is. This is"

Nishihara Koichi was speechless for a moment.

He really didn't expect it.

Not long ago, in order to prove that he did not use a mobile phone against Akikawa Kyusuke, he made a speech.

On the contrary, it negated the possibility of Akikawa Kyousuke framing him.

Sera Masumi looked at Nishihara Koichi's sweaty appearance and said,

A beautiful smile appeared on the delicate cheeks again.

"Let me guess what this is all about."

"In order to pursue Miss Yoko, whom he longed for, Mr. Nishihara deliberately chose the same role as Akikawa to audition."

"After Mr. Nishihara failed the audition, he began to hate Akikawa because of his inner humiliation."

"Due to Akikawa's special personal experience, he could not hear Mr. Nishihara's cynicism. Instead, he took Mr. Nishihara's words as guidance and thought Mr. Nishihara was a very good person."

"So Akikawa, just like Mr. Nishihara said, continued to ask Mr. Nishihara for advice during rehearsals."

"But Akikawa didn't realize that his behavior was simply humiliating to Mr. Nishihara."

"Ms. Yoko is aware of Mr. Nishihara's past. In order to prevent Mr. Nishihara from doing excessive things to Mr. Akikawa, she warned Mr. Nishihara not to have any contact with Akikawa again."

"But this incident further ignited the jealousy in your heart, Mr. Nishihara, which ultimately led to this incident."

"Because judging from the intensity with which you attacked Akikawa, Mr. Nishihara, it is obvious that you attacked with the purpose of killing him."

Hiroichi Nishihara listened to Masumi Sera's reasoning, and he was more and more shocked.

He really didn't expect that Masumi Sera could guess the whole picture of the matter in such a short time, just through a few words between him and Yoko Okino.

However.

When he heard Masumi Sera's last words,

he felt as if he was hit on the head with a hammer,

and his brain began to become dizzy in an instant.

"You are lying with your eyes open!"

Hiroichi Nishihara shouted at Masumi Sera.

"Okay, assuming that I am the murderer, why don't I just kill Akikawa Sosuke, and spare his life?!"

"Isn't it because Mr. Nishihara was about to go on stage, and he rushed to do it, and ran away without confirming whether Mr. Akikawa was really dead?"

Masumi Sera asked back.

"Huh——?!"

Countless question marks appeared on Hiroichi Nishihara's head in an instant.

When I attacked, I was afraid that Akikawa Sosuke would be too injured to wake up, so I was controlling the strength.

Now, in Sera Masumi's mouth, it became that I was in a hurry to attack and didn't have time to confirm whether Akikawa Sosuke was dead? !

I was obviously the one who framed the person.

Why do I feel that this detective in front of me, who is more handsome than the idol of my company, is better at confusing right and wrong than me? !

"No, how badly was Akikawa injured? Can you think that the murderer attacked with the intention of killing him?"

Nishihara Koichi couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Several contusions and lacerations on the forehead, hematoma under the scalp, possible skull fractures and concussion symptoms."

"The attack on Akikawa's head was so strong that the skull even pressed the blood vessels under the conjunctiva, causing the blood vessels to rupture and symptoms of subconjunctival hemorrhage."

The smile on Sera Masumi's pretty face disappeared, and a cold light flashed in her unique dark green eyes.

"So, Mr. Nishihara thinks that this level of injury is not enough to judge that the murderer has murderous intentions towards Akikawa?"

But after saying this, the coldness on Sera Masumi's face disappeared in an instant.

She became cheerful and sunny again.

However, the words she said immediately made Nishihara Hiroichi feel like he was falling into an ice cellar:

"But it's true, for Mr. Nishihara who likes to kill, this level of injury is really nothing."
