Chapter 3136 3148 [Case Closed]

However, it was different from what the police officer expected.

Outside the door, Lawyer Saku's expression changed again and again, and finally he just stood there like the crumbling Leaning Tower of Pisa.

He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Lawyer Fei, you are too suspicious. You make a fuss out of even the smallest things. It is normal to do this in court, but in real life, you will only mislead yourself and the judge. For example..."

He pointed at the two bowls of beef fried rice at the door and said, "The reason why I felt that this was Miss Usui's room the moment I saw it was because tonight, when I went to the observation deck to get some fresh air and passed by here, I accidentally saw a waiter carrying beef fried rice and wandering around Miss Usui's door."

"At that time, Ms. Usui didn't open the door. I felt a little strange, but I didn't pay much attention to it. However, this incident still left an impression on me, so when I saw the beef sauce fried rice on the ground just now, I immediately felt that this was her room."

This excuse sounded quite reasonable, but the next moment, Lawyer Saku saw Kisaki Eri revealing a terrifying smile.

His heart skipped a beat when he heard the undefeated Queen of Law slowly say, "Sorry, there is one thing I forgot to tell you - 'ha' ya' shi' 2' refers to two servings of beef fried rice. This is actually just your own speculation."

"In fact, Ms. Usui, who wrote down these three pseudonyms and a number, only recorded a surname and an appointment time - she made an appointment with 'Lawyer Lin' to meet at 'tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock'. Both Lawyer Lin himself and the clerk who helped transfer the call at the front desk can prove this."

Looking at Attorney Saku who had stopped breathing, Hibiki Eri smiled brightly: "In other words, the whole incident has nothing to do with the so-called 'beef sauce fried rice' - Ms. Usui has never used the ordering service. The 'beef sauce fried rice' you mentioned every three sentences just now can only prove that you have seen the short message written on the note by the deceased.

"In other words, besides the sleeping Jiang Xia, there was another person who was in Ms. Usui's room when she died - that person was you."

"I..." Lawyer Saku gritted his teeth, and after a brief struggle, he decisively tore apart his dignity and face.

He shrugged in a puzzled manner: "What beef sauce fried rice? Did I mention beef sauce fried rice just now? -Haha, actually, I just recognized this as Ms. Usui's room by the room number."

Conan: "..." This guy's will to resist is too tenacious... But it is understandable. After all, he is responsible for framing Jiang Xia. If he fails, he may be severely punished by that organization. In the face of oppression from the Black Organization, it is not surprising that he would do such a thing.

But unfortunately, this level of resistance is useless. Because...

With the fake elementary school student's sinister smile, Eri Kisaki leaned against the door frame and showed a fox-like cunning smile, which was very rare. She said to the stunned lawyer Saku, "It seems that you haven't discovered yet..."

She stood up straight, revealing the wall that she had just blocked. On the wall, there was a complete door chain hanging there, which she gently hooked with her fingertips: "Look, you didn't cut this door chain, right?"

Lawyer Saku felt as if he had been hit hard in the face by a hammer, and his ears were buzzing.

After all, he was a clear-minded lawyer, and in an instant he understood what Kisaki Eri meant - no matter how dedicated the hotel was, it was impossible for them to send someone to fix the door chain right after a murder and when the police were still investigating.

In other words, this is not Usui Ritsuko's room at all!

"Yes, this room was urgently arranged by the hotel and the police just now. The layout is exactly the same as the room at the crime scene - and Miss Usui's real room is actually a little further inside."

Kisaki Eri's voice sounded with a smile: "In other words, there is only one reason why you can step into this room - you are the murderer who killed Miss Usui."

“…”

There was a long silence.

Cold sweat slid down Lawyer Saku's cheekbones to his chin, and finally fell to the ground as he lowered his head dejectedly.

Conan glanced at this hateful lackey of the organization: "..." Now it's time for you to confess. Hurry up and tell us who is the mastermind behind you, so that the police can catch all of you lawless thugs who despise human life!

The silence lasted for a few seconds. After a moment, Lawyer Saku smiled bitterly. He looked at Eri Kisaki and said, "No wonder they call you the 'Queen of Law'. The oppressive feeling you get when you face each other is well-deserved. But... you are still too naive."

Conan: “…” Are you done yet, you bastard?

Hibiki Eri looked at her colleague with a little disappointment. Sure enough, Attorney Saku denied it again like before: "This evidence is better than the previous one, but when the trial comes, how are you going to prove to the prosecutor that I entered this room because of those two plates of beef fried rice? - You are an acquaintance of Jiang Xia, and your words as a witness will be hard to believe in court."

Faced with this sharp question, Kisaki Eri was not as flustered as he had imagined.

The top lawyer just shook his head sympathetically: "You don't think that the only ones who saw all this were me and the child next to me."

"?!" Lawyer Saku's heart felt like there was a broken railroad track. After a brief calm, it started to throb violently again. He looked alert, "What do you mean by that?"

Kisaki Eri laughed and stopped talking to him. Instead, she turned her head and looked at the door behind her: "For this kind of thing, it's better for you and your subordinates to explain it to him - Inspector Yokomizo."

…

Under Lawyer Saku's indescribable gaze, the door was pushed open and a tall police officer with coral-like curly hair walked out of the room.

As he walked, he held his phone and reported to the person on the other end of the line: "As you expected, it was successful!"

The police officer smacked his lips in satisfaction as he reviewed the wonderful scene just now: "So that's what the strange note on the door meant."

Conan looked up at the police officer, a little confused: "Uncle police, who are you talking to on the phone?"

——This cheerful state doesn’t seem like he is talking to his boss, but he is using honorifics…

When Inspector Yokomizo heard the sound at his feet, he looked down at the young actor who performed so well, and couldn't help but reveal a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words.

After a moment, he said profoundly, like a riddler: "You will know soon."

Conan: “?”
