At this time, the expressions on the faces of the four successors were very subtle, and it could be seen that they had all heard of the name Mori Kogoro.

And this behavior of writing his thoughts on his face naturally aroused Hattori Heiji's vigilance.

After he realized that the atmosphere was not right, he glanced at a few people and asked:

"What's the matter? You seem to be surprised by the identity of this uncle detective?"

"The reaction is indeed suspicious..."

Hearing this, Shancuncao immediately closed his eyes and took a closer look.

Inufushi Chiaki, who was the first to bear the brunt, sweated, and hurriedly called the other three successors to explain the whole story together.

It turned out that the deceased Kudo Shinichi had told them before he went to Tokyo that he had entrusted a familiar police officer to solve the mystery of what happened at Inufushi's house, but they never expected that the person who came would be The famous sleeping Kogoro.

"So maybe we should ask where all four of you went this morning."

Ye Gengyi found a loophole in their words.

Of course, it is not intuitive, but lateral.

Before Shinichi Kudo died, two heirs had already been killed, and judging from Yukihime Inuboshi's address to Yamamura Cao as "the former police officer", their family had little or no contact with people from Gunma County on weekdays. Deal with the police.

In this way, when the few people met, Inufushi Kaoko's attitude towards the name Kudo Shinichi, and the blunt statement that there was a criminal policeman who came to investigate was rather strange.

Obviously the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and them is not good, simply put, it is the kind that will not be sad when hearing the death of the other party.

But they didn't regard Yamamura as a friend from the police circle that Kudo Shinichi had found, which is enough to show that they all probably met Kudo Shinichi recently, and learned some inconvenient news from the other party.

And what news is inconvenient?

The 4 of them teamed up to kill?

...This possibility is very low, so low that they will directly ask Yamamura if he is a friend of Shinichi Kudo's police circle.

Then it is only left that they had contact with each other before the time of Kudo Shinichi's death, and they deliberately concealed it in order to avoid being regarded as suspects.

Sure enough, Ye Gengyi's question made the expressions of the few people who hadn't relaxed become tense again.

I know I can't hide it.

The four heirs of the Inubushi family had no choice but to admit that they did go to Tokyo to find Shinichi Kudo early this morning. They originally planned to persuade him to come back to the Inubushi family, but the attitude of the other party who said nothing at the time seemed to regard them as The murderer who killed the first two successors.

As a result, it didn't take long to talk, and they broke up unhappy.

"In other words, the real culprit may have known that Mr. Shinichi called the police, and he was worried that more secrets would be revealed, so he killed him...Is that right?" Hattori Heiji said, staring at several people.

"The news of Shinichi's death was learned from Zuo Ji who was in charge of staying at home to take care of his mother after we came back here."

Inufushi Koko added: "She said that the person who called home claimed to be the police from Tokyo, because the police said they are still looking for the murderer who killed Shinichi...We just don't want to be wronged for no reason!"

"Then the four of you have been together since you went to Tokyo?" Mori Kogoro asked.

"No," Inubushi Yukihime knew that if he continued to hide things now, he might be directly regarded as a suspect by the police, so he quickly said, "Only when we go, we are together, and the return journey is separate."

Isn't it obvious that one or several of the four suspects killed Shinichi Kudo and then asked the maid to commit suicide?

So, what exactly is Megushisan investigating in Tokyo?

Hmm...it seems to know why Mihua Town has a high crime rate and a low detection rate...

Ye Gengyi thought about it from the police's point of view, and after a few seconds, he shook his head without showing any signs.

...isn't important anymore.

Because, no matter whether the police have the ability to lock the range of the suspect in advance, this trip is necessary for him who has decided to look for the magic dog half a day ago.

However, the word has been said.

Here, Kaoko Inufu, who has a straightforward personality, also asked quite simply why Shinichi was connected with the deaths of the first two heirs.

Hattori Heiji replied:

"Although it is not 100% certain, the murdered Mr. Shinichi had a pearl in his mouth that was originally inlaid on a tie clip."

pearl? !

Immediately, the four successors once again showed the expressions of "I am suspicious, come and doubt me".

So, how did a family that is so easy to show emotions kill three heirs in a row without revealing their flaws?

Oh, the person who investigated the first two 'accidents' was the police officer Yamamura Cao from Gunma County, that's all right... Ye Gengyi silently withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the four successors, and said:

"It seems that you really are hiding a lot of things."

"Oh no…"

Yukihime Inubushi explained: "Actually, there are a small steel ball and a ping-pong ball next to the death scene of Brother Hotaru and sister Meiga. Because they just like playing small steel **** and ping-pong balls, everyone thinks that the two something fell out of their pocket..."

"They're all spherical objects," Hattori Heiji analyzed, "In other words, the pearl contained in Mr. Shinichi's mouth is most likely not a pre-death message, but a serial killing notice left by the murderer deliberately. "

"Could it be..."

"That is also..."

Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye exchanged glances, their voices sounded trembling.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Conan, who hadn't interrupted for a long time, immediately asked the two of them.

The two girls said almost in unison: "We found a marble rolling down next to the dog's grave after Miss Zuo Ji was taken away by the ambulance~lightnovelpub.net~!"

Presumably, the marble should have been on Inufusaki's body from the beginning, and it just fell out of his pocket when he was carried into the ambulance.

Ye Genyi recalled the environment around the lower tomb, and confirmed that he did not see anything like marbles at that time.

"Did you take it back?" Conan asked.

"No, no..."

Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed, "I was a little scared at the time, and I came back with my father after the ambulance. The marble should still be in place now."

"In this case, let's go back and have a look at the marble."

Hattori Heiji looked at Yamamura Cao and said, "Mr. Police Officer, can you come with me, please? I just have something, and I want to ask for advice."
