The Magician of Conan’s World

Three weeks ago, Takagi received a report from a woman who said she was being followed. So Takagi kept vigil near the woman’s residence and captured a sneaky man, this time the deceased Tatsuya Nagai.

Since Tatsuya did not admit to stalking, only saying that he was passing by accident, Takagi also had no choice but to verbally warn him and let him go. Later, the informant did not mention the matter again, and Takagi felt that the matter was over, but he did not expect that Nagai Tatsuya was now poisoned here….

Xiao Lan looked surprised after hearing this, “Could it be that he is the wolf of rice flowers that I often hear about recently?” ”

“I’ve heard Xiao Mo mention that there seems to be such a person in Yonehana Town recently.” White Night thoughtfully.

“What does Tatsuya Nagai do?” Officer Twilight asked Takagi.

Takagi replied, “The deceased did not have any job during his lifetime, and because his father was the owner of the foundry, he has always had food and clothing. ”

It turned out to be a rich second generation, and Kogoro nudged his mouth and did not evaluate.

“Anyway, let’s go to the home of the woman who is being followed first, maybe the deceased will follow her this morning.” Officer Twilight made a decision.

……

Bai Ye followed the same group to Nishitani Miho’s house, and when she heard that Nagai Tatsuya had died, Miho was surprised, “Is that person really dead?” ”

While surprised, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if the pressure of a long time had been released, which was a normal reaction of a weak woman to learn that the stalker had died.

Officer Twilight couldn’t see any problem, so he could only ask, “Where were you half an hour ago?” ”

“Half an hour ago, I should have been on my way home.” Meifan replied: “I recently worked the night shift in the restaurant outside, and I won’t go home until the morning to rest. ”

Although it was confirmed from the conversation that Meifan was passing by the vending machine, because there was no surveillance video, the police could not list her as a suspect.

Moreover, there was no coin matching Meifan’s fingerprint in the vending machine, but one of the coins did not have any fingerprints. But to say that this is Meifan put in, it is more reasonable to say that it is an indiscriminate murderer, because even if Meifan puts the poisoned Kazeman at the shipping port, there is no guarantee that the deceased will just go to buy a drink.

“Sure enough, it still kills indiscriminately.” Kogoro has already recognized this view.

In fact, the fingerprintless coin was put in by Meifan, but she had glue on her hands before, so there were no fingerprints. After returning home, because of Bai Ye’s prior instructions, she removed the glue as soon as possible, so now the police have no abnormality in fingerprint comparison.

When the police were questioning Meifan, Bai Ye was also observing her residence, and he felt more and more sympathetic to this woman.

Because she was afraid, she added three different locks in addition to the lock that came with the security door, and the window was not enough to add an anti-theft net, and it was all sealed. You can imagine what that stalker turned her life into.

It’s not that she wants to kill, but she’s about to collapse and is already cornered….

Stalking is not a big crime, even if he is caught by the police, it will be locked up for a period of time at most, and one day he will come out. So, the only solution is to kill.

Bai Ye couldn’t help but think of the old saying, which coincided with the situation of Nishitani Miho – don’t push people into a hurry, a cornered person, do everything….

……

Leaving Miho Nishitani’s home, Shiraya took the subway to the residence of the deceased Tatsuya Nagai, pried the lock and walked in without leaving a trace.

Originally, he wanted to buy a lighter and put it at Tatsuya’s house so that the police could be sure that the deceased had just forgotten to bring a lighter. Later, thinking about it, Bai Ye chose to leave the lighter that the deceased took from him on the coffee table of his house.

Because the new lighter did not have the deceased’s fingerprints, the police would certainly be suspicious. Although what is left is the lighter of the deceased now, Bai Ye has changed the memory card inside, so he is not afraid that the police will find out that it is a spy camera.

After putting the lighter away, Hakuye did not leave immediately, but checked Tatsuya’s residence and found a lot of things, such as a staggering amount of women’s intimate clothing.

“This guy is really the wolf of rice flowers, it seems that I can also be regarded as a victim of the people.” Bai Ye subconsciously smiled.

Then Bai Ye found a duffel bag in the corner, containing knives, tape, glass knives, pliers and other items. At first, Hakuye didn’t know the use, but after seeing Tatsuya’s change. After the diary, I realized that Tatsuya also planned to enter her house with tools after Nishidani Mifan returned home, and then tie her up and kill her first.

“It seems that Miss Nishidani should be glad that her action was a day ahead…”

Next, Bai Ye found a photo album, thinking that there would be Tatsuya tracking and secretly taking many photos of women, but after reading it, he found that there was only Mifan Nishitani in it.

This made Bai Ye wonder, “Why is there only her photo?” ”

It stands to reason that with so many women stalked, and with cameras on hand, it is impossible for a stalker not to take photos, unless he has only followed Miho Nishitani from beginning to end. But judging from the number of women’s clothing collected by Tatsuya, it is clear that it is impossible to all come from Miho Nishitani.

“Could it be… The wolf of rice flowers who steals women’s clothes is not the same person as the wolf of rice flowers who stalks women? ”

……

Soon after, the police also launched an investigation into the deceased’s residence, confirming that the deceased did not have a lighter on him simply because he forgot to bring it, and together with the testimony of Maori Kogoro, it was finally concluded that the indiscriminate killing was concluded.

As for other details, the police did not release them.

At midnight that night, Hakuye went to Nishitani Miho to collect the fee, and then took advantage of no one on the road to come to the crime scene, while Nagai Tatsuya’s soul was still floating where he died.

Looking at Tatsuya, who had dull eyes, Bai Ye asked in a loud voice: “Have you ever stolen women’s intimate clothes?” ”

Tatsuya nodded unresponsively.

Bai Ye asked again: “Then besides Nishitani Miho, have you followed anyone else?” ”

After a while, Tatsuya slowly shook his head.

After questioning Tatsuya himself, Hakuye affirmed one thing, in addition to Tatsuya, there is another rice flower wolf who specializes in stalking women. But that guy doesn’t seem to have done anything but tracking, what is he thinking?

……

The next afternoon, Xiaolan took Conan to Dr. Agasa’s house, and as soon as she came in, she greeted Bai Ye and Xiao Wei.

“Xiaolan? What a rarity! Is there something going on today? Bai Ye greeted him with a smile, and Conan next to him was directly ignored, and Conan had no complaints about this.

Xiao Lan hesitated and said, “The incident of the wolf of rice flowers has been broken. ”

“I already know this.”

“However, after I discussed it with Conan, it seemed that there was something wrong with things.” Xiaoran pondered and explained: “Tatsuya Nagai’s album only secretly took photos of Miss Nishitani alone, which is also too strange…”

Bai Ye asked thoughtfully, “So what?” Xiao Mo on the sofa also put down the magazine and read it.

“Conan said that in addition to Tatsuya Nagai, there is also a prisoner who specializes in stalking women, but my dad doesn’t want to care about this kind of thing.” Xiaolan looked at Conan, then raised her head and looked at Bai Ye with a serious face: “So Bai Ye, I came this time to ask you to find out the real Rice Flower Wolf together!” ”
