Relying on a sneak attack, the criminal killed Nagase Hyouta, a powerful contender for the championship in the Teito Wrestling League, almost without any injury.
Although Nagase Hyouta struggled hard before his death, he only managed to tear a crack of nearly ten centimeters on the mask worn by the criminal.
Of course, it is impossible to make such an accurate judgment based on the video. The mask had been found by Conan in the toilet before Tang Ze and others arrived.
In addition to the crack under the right eye, this piece of evidence was also stained with the deceased's blood.
It’s not that Tang Ze didn’t use his super sense of smell to smell who had touched the mask, but... the evidence had been thrown into the toilet before.
Although it is possible to smell a useful odor by spending more energy, Tang Ze really does not intend to use his super sense of smell to solve the case.
After all, a foul smell is a torture to a person with super sense of smell, not to mention having to smell it for a long time under the condition of amplified sense of smell... it is simply torture...
Anyway, this case is not a difficult one. He has made some discoveries after watching the video. There is no need to torture himself like this.
It would be better to solve the case as usual, which would not only exercise his reasoning ability, but also gain some "experience" in his investigation skills.
However, in the video, as it played, the criminal's reaction after killing Nagase Hyouta seemed a little abnormal.
The other party took two steps back with a knife in hand, his head constantly looking around, as if he was looking for something.
Then, the prisoner was not paying attention and bumped into the stool where Nagase Baota was sitting when he stepped back, and then fell to the ground.
Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure, who had only watched half of the video, were extremely excited to see this scene, but unfortunately, the idea of imagining that they could see the criminal's face through the cracks in the mask was ultimately defeated by reality.
When the prisoner stood up, only the left side of his face was exposed. The mask on this side was intact, so naturally nothing was found.
After that, the prisoner walked out of the room covered in blood.
According to several young players, when they went to the toilet, they did see a man with blood all over his uniform and a scarf covering his head walking into the toilet.
But unlike other places where people would be frightened by the sight of blood, this was the backstage of a wrestling match. It was very normal to have blood on the body after a match. The young men just thought that the other party had just finished a match and did not care at all.
After entering the bathroom, the other party only needs to change into the coat prepared in advance and can come out with confidence.
In addition, according to the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, although the exact time cannot be determined, it should be when Mr. Kiba, the captain of the Imperial Capital Wrestling League, was competing.
Because three minutes after the criminal left, the video could be heard cheering for Kiba's victory.
After questioning the captain, who could be ruled out as a suspect, we determined that the time of the attack was around 7:20.
At the call of the team leader and person in charge, Kiba, four qualified contestants were brought to the crime scene.
The first suspect was named Ushigome Takeshi, a rough-looking man with a bald upper body and a thick beard on his chin.
According to him, he was watching Mr. Kiba's game at 7:20, because Kiba was very strict with them and hoped that they could learn something from the game, so if they didn't go to watch, they would be scolded badly by Mr. Kiba afterwards.
Apart from that, he watched the game alone, and there was no one to prove that he was watching the game in person.
In addition to him, there was another young man named Hiroyuki Sakuma who was in the same situation as Ushigome Takeshi. He was watching Mr. Kiba's game at the time of the incident and was also alone.
However, after Kiba's match was over, he immediately ran to inform Nagase to prepare for the next match.
Conan could help prove the other party's statement, but unfortunately the case had already happened at that time, and it could not serve as testimony to clear the other party of suspicion.
"Then it's your turn, the two of you." Inspector Megure looked at the two men wearing masks and said, "Please take off your masks. I have something to ask you."
"Inspector, he doesn't understand Neon." Takagi beside him said with a smile: "This 'wolf-masked man' is Mexican, and all communication is done through a translator."
"Besides, the identity of the 'Wolf-Faced Man' is kept secret. If it is leaked..." Zuo Xiong Haozhi also evaded the question.
"It's okay, Zuo Xiong." The man with the wolf-head mask said as he untied the ropes on the back of the mask with both hands and pulled it off. "The lady and the boy already know my identity."
It turned out that Kogoro Mouri came to watch the competition after participating in a variety show, and because Okami Keiharu's girlfriend was a fan of Kogoro Mouri, he wanted to ask for an autograph for his girlfriend.
The reason why he revealed his identity as the "Wolf-Faced Man" was that he was afraid that if he asked for an autograph as an ordinary person, he would not be able to get one, so he revealed his identity first.
"But I didn't expect it to be you!"
Gao Mu looked at the handsome face under the mask and said in surprise, "Aren't you the great god Jingqing? The one who is nicknamed the handsome vase but weak in strength!"
"Although I'm embarrassed, the 'Wolf-Faced Man' is me." The great god Jingqing scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
“How could it be!!”
Gao Mu pulled out a newspaper from his arms like Doraemon, pointed at the photo of him and the Wolf-Mask Man and said, "There are photos of you and the Wolf-Mask Man together in all the newspapers published today!!"
"Ah... that was actually Sakuma in disguise."
Ogami Jingqing pointed at Zuo Xionghaozhi next to him and said, "He often pretends to be the "wolf-masked man" in front of the media to hide my true identity..."
"Master, I want to ask you something." Tang Ze pointed at the wolf-head mask in the newspaper and said, "The mask you are wearing now seems to be different from the one in the newspaper."
"Ah, that's a mask for eating. It's made of thin material, and the opening around the mouth is quite large, so it's convenient for eating."
Ogami Jingqing explained with a smile, "Look, that newspaper also wrote about my appetite, and the location was also near the cafeteria."
"Is that so?" Tang Ze recalled the appearance of the criminal in the video and nodded thoughtfully.
"Then this gentleman remains." Inspector Megure looked at the last contestant wearing the White Wolf Mask and said, "Please take off your mask as well."
As if he noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, he slowly began to take off his mask, revealing a face that was obviously a foreigner.
