Chapter 788 Who will reason?
"Then let's solve this case before the police arrive." Conan reminded them to turn the topic back to the topic which was getting more and more off track.
"Yeah..." Toyama Kazuha nodded, then picked up the phone and muttered to herself while struggling: "Should I ask Heiji what he thinks... eh!?"
Toyama Kazuha suddenly felt a sense of resentment. She looked in the direction and found that it was the little boy Edogawa Conan, who was looking at her with a look of resentment, annoyance and disgust.
what's up?
By the way...if I asked Heiji whether he should consult Kudo when he was solving a case, would he have the same reaction?
Yuanshan Heye slowly put the phone back, and that made the corgi stop baring its teeth.
That is to say, Xiaolan was carefully checking the reports about Ze Li Weihong's death at this time, otherwise this food-protecting Corgi would have been very upset.
The topic then turned to normal case reasoning, and Sawakuri Isao talked about the information he brought and his doubts about the case.
Before coming to find Maori Kogoro, Sawakuri Isao had already privately looked for other guests who were at the hot spring hotel that day, asking them if they had any impression of the three aunts, and learned about some of their suspicious behaviors:
The plump lady, whom Martin called "Big Heavy" and suspected to be "Elephant", was seen by a guest running out of the deceased's room in a hurry with a nervous look. The explanation of "Big Heavy" was that she suddenly had diarrhea when she visited Zeli Weihong, but Zeli Weihong refused to let her use the bathroom, so she could only return to her room in a hurry with her buttocks clamped.
Furthermore, a guest mentioned that he saw Big Teeth soaking in the hot spring five or six times that day, and Ze Li Xun suspected that it was because Big Teeth wanted to wash off her sister's blood. Big Teeth did not give any effective explanation for this, only saying that she liked soaking in hot springs and wanted to soak as much as she could at one time.
"That's all?" Martin looked at the 'Long Face': "There's still one option missing. Does she have to do something suspicious?"
The long-faced man crossed his arms and glared at Martin in dissatisfaction.
Sawakuri Isao tried hard to recall: "Ms. Nipin (long face)... There was really nothing suspicious about her. I just heard that she was a very enthusiastic person and she sorted out all the bathing supplies that were messed up by the children in the bathhouse."
"I just have some obsessive-compulsive disorder...I feel uncomfortable looking at the messy bottles and jars." The long-faced man explained.
Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing by, thought: "So, one of the three people is no longer a suspect."
Martin shook his finger. "No, no, in Beika Town, if two of the three suspects are suspicious and the other one looks innocent, then the suspicion of the innocent one will be doubled."
The long face glared at Martin.
"So, you suspect Ms. Niping?" asked Suzuki Sonoko.
"Emmm..." Martin raised his arm and pointed at the long face like a great detective. Suddenly he changed his mind and pointed at the big teeth: "I'd better bet on her. With her front teeth and height, she looks like a 'rat' no matter how you look at her."
Those who glared at Martin were given one point of happiness. Then, perhaps because he stood by his good sister, or perhaps because he was very dissatisfied with the nickname Martin gave him, he joined the ranks of those who glared at Martin before he was attacked by Martin.
The boy has a decent appearance, with a nose that isn’t a nose and eyes that aren’t eyes. But why does he have a mouth?
Then Kogoro Mouri asked the three aunts for their personal information.
Unlike the deceased who was a professional writer, the three aunts were all writing enthusiasts who published their novels on blogs and had few readers. They just wrote in their spare time.
As for their main jobs, 'Big Long Face' is a househusband while her husband is in the business of carving ivory seals; 'Big Flat Teeth' works as a salesperson in a bakery; and 'Big Heavy Tuo' is not married and helps out in the stone shop run by her family.
"You three did visit the deceased individually that day, right?" Maori Kogoro confirmed, "What for?" "Of course, to sign. We prepared the first edition of her masterpiece and asked her, the author, to sign it for us."
The four of them were online friends and had not met in person very often, so it was reasonable for them to seize the opportunity to ask for an autograph.
Moreover, the three aunts took out a thick novel from their bags. "Mr. Zeli lied to us and said that he would use this novel to prove our relationship with Mihong, so that Mr. Maori would tell us your mystery stories... Tsk."
The three middle-aged ladies, who were dazzled by the precious opportunity of telling a mystery story by the famous detective, glared at Sawaguri Isao and complained with gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, isn't this an immersive experience of a famous detective's mystery story?" Martin comforted him, "It's just that the two of them were in danger, and one of them will be arrested today."
Several people picked up the autographed books of the three aunts one by one and examined them.
Martin picked up one of the books and flipped through it. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up, then he elbowed Conan on the head, showed the book in his hand to Conan, and winked: It seems that I guessed right, the 'rat' really has 'big buck teeth'.
Conan Half Moon Eyes: Tsk, you are a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
Martin touched his chin. He himself didn't understand how he could have guessed correctly: it was impossible to give nicknames based on appearance. What about the twist? Was this the end of the plot twist?
Conan tilted his head and began to reflect the light in his glasses: You want to reverse? Yes.
Martin was only able to determine the murderer's identity from a single flaw, but Conan had already figured out the entire mystery.

Conan pulled the voice changer on his collar: How about a double act?
Martin gently pointed at the three aunts, then at himself, and then made a throat-cutting gesture on his neck: With my reputation, they have chewed my heart out, can they recognize me if I try to reason with them?
Then... Conan touched the tranquilizer gun watch that had not been used for a long time, and glanced at Maori Kogoro... No, Xiaolan is watching. Similarly, the "Queen of Reasoning Suzuki Sonoko" cannot be logged in.
Toyama Kazuha? Sera Masumi? Miyano Akemi? ... It feels like there will be trouble in the future.
Or just anesthetize the prisoner and make him confess on her behalf.
Martin gestured to Super Xiaolan who was reading a novel very seriously over there: Why don’t you just anesthetize Xiaolan directly? With Xiaolan’s current physical condition, there won’t be any sequelae.
You think I'm not dying fast enough. Conan put on a 'haha' expression: Given Xiaolan's current physical condition, can the anesthetic needle be effective?
Maybe! Martin's eyes suddenly showed a hint of eagerness, and he raised his hand to look at the anesthetic gun watch on his wrist: Although nothing has changed except Xiaolan so far, what if this anesthetic needle also changes to Fanze's world view, that is, the super weight that can knock down an elephant. Ordinary people can sleep for three weeks after being injected.
Conan even turned his evil eyes to the rabbit on the other side of Martin, but it seemed difficult to get the rabbit to cooperate with him.
Or... a cat? Conan looked at the cat in Miyano Akemi's arms: We've already played "reasoning dogs" so many times, how about a "reasoning cat"?
The perceptive cat noticed Conan's gaze, turned around and looked at him warily, thinking that the cat's natural enemy was indeed the dog.
Both dogs.
