Chapter 15 The person you want to kill

If you do too much at night, you will feel sleepy the next day. Pei Zhen made up an excuse to answer Conan's question. Perhaps it was because of the other drunkards that night. Although Conan felt it was a bit strange, he did not associate it with other aspects.

Many people know about Usuke Nagakawa's obsession with Yusaku Kudo. Yusaku Kudo probably doesn't care about this. Even Shinichi Kudo, who knows about it now, no, Conan didn't take it to heart at first. But no one expected that he would do such an inhumane thing under his twisted desires.

But it has been so long since the incident happened, and no one can change what has happened. However, one of the reasons why sin is so hateful is that the scars it leaves behind are not just temporary pain, but a predicament that can accompany you throughout your life. Some people wander around in circles there and cannot let it go until the end of their lives.

"As soon as I came here, I noticed a strange phenomenon," "Mouri Kogoro" sat on the chair. He no longer had his usual liveliness, but was terrifyingly calm. No one doubted it, because this was what they imagined a great detective to look like. Conan said quietly: "Although everyone here is here for Nagakawa Usuke's book, except for you and Xiaolan, no one has shown much interest in it. Even its editor doesn't want to talk about it."

"What's the big deal?" Inada Shinji said calmly, "I'm a very responsible reporter. Even if it's for work, I will finish reading it before coming here."

Everyone looked embarrassed, and Luo Zhi Sachiko had a cold expression.

"In addition to Tian Shouren's body, the cabin the police found also contained some signs of life," "Mouri Kogoro" said, "As the driver and gardener of the Nagakawa family, his daily life is very regular, but this also requires time to observe. I asked the police to ask the companies of everyone present here, and you are the only one who has taken a long vacation recently."

"The work pressure of a reporter is too great," Shinji Inada frowned. "I just need some pure personal time. Is that wrong?"

"You need to put the blame on the person in hiding," "Mouri Kogoro" continued, "so you need to kill the person you hate while he is hiding here. And you especially want the person you hate to feel even a little bit of the fear you had back then, so you put on your clothes, put on a mask, and went to his room that night."

"This should have been what Tian Shouren should have done. It was a plot that only he and Tian Shouren knew. Of course, what he didn't know was that someone stole his manuscript and sold it for a relatively low price." The maid Ellie, who was hiding in the corner, shuddered. "So when you acted like a character in a book, he quickly dispelled his doubts."

"You started to pretend to fight, leaving traces of the fight in the study," Conan said slowly, "and then he was defeated and you chased him closely, or he pretended to be knocked unconscious and you took him away, and then, because one person couldn't do it, he actually stood up on his own initiative and followed you."

"This is ridiculous," Inada Shinji couldn't help but interrupt, "You're telling a story, right? Is Nagakawa Usuke that stupid?"

"He was just too arrogant and thought Tian Shouren was completely under his control," Conan explained quietly. "I guess the next plot in the book should be that he fights back at the critical moment and eliminates the source of danger in danger, thus completing his role as the protagonist."

Conan gave it some time, and Shinji Inada twitched the corners of his mouth, trying hard not to speak.

This is really a good opportunity to vent emotions, Pei Zhen thought secretly, watching his hated enemy lose his composure in an instant, and his hypocritical face, which was under control before, was gradually covered with panic and disbelief. He struggled to curse and question, and when he found that it was no use, he begged and pleaded, but still could only watch the sickle chop down mercilessly - this was like a good medicine, falling on the scar that had caused him pain for more than ten years, even if it could not be cured, it could quench his thirst.

Pei Zhen was about to think about it, but the next moment he realized that, no, he was a detective, why should he consider things from a criminal's perspective? As expected, does drawing cards still have an impact on me?

Pei Zhen held his chin and thought.

Shinji Inada said dryly: "How can he be considered the protagonist?"

"That night, each of us was awakened by the escaping lurker. In order to catch this unstable factor, we organized several people to chase him into the dense forest and witnessed this scene with our own eyes. Each person who was chasing him would not have the time to commit the crime."

Gao Si Qiming breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was also very scared that night, but his pride as a man prevented him from saying that he wanted to stay.

"I took sleeping pills before going to bed," Inada Shinji remained calm and shook his head. "This is an old problem. Insomnia has troubled me for a long time and I have to rely on medication. But after taking the medicine, no matter what happens outside, it can't wake me up."

"No wonder," Xiaolan recalled, "We wanted to wake up Mr. Inada that night, but there was no movement. We were worried that something had happened to him. Later, he came out by himself and said that he didn't hear the knock on the door."

"Yeah, of course you can say that. After all, they didn't see you sleeping." "Mouri Kogoro" looked confident from beginning to end: "You have escaped for more than ten years, changed your name, appearance, and personality, and came back here to avenge everything that happened back then. You wanted to do this a long time ago, but this TV adaptation stimulated you and made you unable to wait any longer."

"When Conan told me that the old butler said he could recognize the young master at first sight, I didn't believe it, because he clearly didn't recognize him. But then I had another idea," "Mouri Kogoro" said in a low voice: "You, have you undergone the most thorough plastic surgery?"

The crowd was a little shocked. They began to observe Shinji Inada's face, but no matter what they did, they could not find anything inconsistent. Among them, the old butler was the most excited. He couldn't help but want to come closer and take a closer look.

"After saying so much, aren't they all just guesses?" Inada Shinji neither denied nor admitted it. He said sarcastically, "Some people say that you, Kogoro Mori, are so great..."

"You haven't killed all the people you wanted to kill yet, right?" "Mouri Kogoro" said this suddenly.

In the blink of an eye, the people who had been too close for observation suddenly moved away. They hid beside Kogoro Mouri, as if this "sleeping detective" could bring them some protection.

Only the old butler was still standing there, he seemed to have recognized him, his eyes full of tears.
