“Damn it! I don’t know who put the paint here!” “Damn it! I don’t know who put the paint here!”
Anda looked at the paint spilled on the ground between the life-size model buildings and couldn't help but complain, "This is really troublesome! It will take a lot of effort to clean it up."
"Well, don't say that. It has become a useful tool for guiding the criminal's whereabouts, hasn't it?" Tang Ze consoled him. "At least it came in very handy when we were tracking the criminal."
"But your memory is really bad, isn't it?" Youmei suddenly said, "Didn't you put the paint here yourself during rehearsal this morning?"
"ah?"
Anda turned his head and looked at Tomomi with a confused expression. After a moment of silence, he immediately came to his senses.
"Ah! That's right!! Look at my memory!" Anda touched his head and laughed.
"Really..." Inspector Megure looked speechless, helpless about Anda's poor memory.
But Tang Ze was very keen to notice that when Youmei reminded Anda, her expression seemed not right.
It's not anxiety, but a sense of sadness.
Anda's subsequent agreement was somewhat stiff and forced.
At this time, Tang Ze winked at Conan, who immediately understood what was going on. He made an "OK" gesture and ran to Anda and said politely, "Uncle, I have a question for you."
"What? Tell me?"
"Why didn't Mr. Osomatsu go to watch the original tape with you guys?" Conan asked in confusion: "Mr. Osomatsu is the lead actor in Godzilla, right? He should be very eager to see how his performance is?"
"I don't know. I asked him to watch it with me recently, but he refused, saying that he didn't want to watch it." Anda replied.
"Well, maybe it's because he's one of those who wants to end Godzilla."
Mikami Daisuke walked over and said with a wry smile, "I heard that he's been telling the producers lately that he's reached his limit as a Godzilla and doesn't want to play Godzilla anymore. He wants to try more ordinary roles."
"So it was him!" Anda gritted his teeth and said, "Because of what he said, Godzilla is facing cancellation..."
"Stop talking, everyone has their own aspirations!" Tomomi patted Adachi's shoulder and said, "Even though he's so famous for playing Godzilla, who knows who he is in person... It's normal for him to want to play other roles."
"That's true..." Anda sighed, but his expression was indescribably lonely.
After some questioning, it now appears that the criminals are Director Mikami, Osomatsu, Adachi, and Tomomi, who were not in the screening room at the time of the incident.
Judging from the traces of the investigation, Director Mikami is the only one who may have committed the crime.
But there is one biggest mystery among them, which is why the criminal disappeared!
While chasing the other party, he clearly saw Godzilla's tail disappearing around the corner, so he followed the footprints to the rooftop.
But what they did afterwards was to find nothing. There was no one on the rooftop, and the Godzilla suit worn by the criminal was set on fire and thrown downstairs.
As for the criminals, they disappeared without a trace thanks to the pursuers.
"We were all eyewitnesses to what happened firsthand, yet the criminal played a trick on us right before our eyes."
Tang Ze and Conan returned to the crime scene of the chase again, following the footprints all the way to the corner of the stairs leading to the rooftop.
"Damn, it feels like I'm missing some clue." Conan scratched his head.
"Well, don't be anxious. It's a good thing to be eager to solve the case, but you have to stay calm." Tang Ze comforted Conan in a normal manner.
Anyway, with you, my good-looking son, here, we can solve the case no matter what. There's no need to be impatient.
However, in Conan's eyes, it seemed like a senior who was leading in the same field was comforting him, just like his father who taught him in his childhood, equally unfathomable.
While he was getting irritated, Conan remained calm and unfazed by the external world. If Tang Ze knew what Conan was thinking, he would probably laugh his head off. This was completely different from the truth. The reason why Conan was calm and composed was precisely because of his own existence.
Otherwise, he would not be able to maintain such a leisurely posture.
This is also because Tang Ze's performance in front of Conan before was too dazzling. Through some subtle clues, he prevented the case from happening in advance, leaving him with the impression of being very powerful.
At this moment, Tang Ze's calm attitude was automatically imagined by him as an imposing and majestic posture as still as a mountain.
"I can't lose either." Conan swore secretly.
On the other side, while Conan was imagining, Tang Ze was also constantly thinking and carefully observing the situation around him.
Fortunately, the basic training of the reasoning training card is insight, so Tang Ze's insight as a foundation is already very practical, and he soon made some discoveries.
"It's a bit strange."
Just as the two of them walked all the way to the stairs leading to the rooftop, Tang Ze looked at the footprints on the ground and felt something strange.
"strangeness?"
Conan had just suppressed his irritation and was about to think calmly, but the voice in his ear made him feel cold inside.
"Well, look at these footprints. The footprints in the corridor have traces of friction, right?" Tang Ze pointed to the footprints on the steps and said, "But the ones here are very clear, with no signs of dragging at all.
Godzilla has a tail, and when we saw him disappear in the hallway, his tail was dragging on the ground, but on the steps it became a felt footprint, with no trace of dragging."
"Wait... wait!!" Conan looked at the footprints leading to the rooftop, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, "Could it be..."
Then Conan did not rush up to the rooftop, but instead came to a corner room at the bottom of the stairs.
In this room full of clutter, Conan walked straight to the window, opened it and looked down.
"Oh~ It's right in front of where Godzilla fell." Tang Ze looked over and saw Godzilla below. Seeing Conan's understanding expression, he couldn't help but praise: "It seems that you have found the clue~ Really amazing~"
"Come on!" Conan rolled his eyes. "You should have thought of it a long time ago. You even reminded me when you found that set of footprints."
"Well, you were the first one to think of this clue, and I haven't realized it yet." Tang Ze shrugged and told the truth.
"hehe."
Conan glanced at Tang Ze with his dead eyes drooping, and then said, "If you don't want to admit it, forget it. Let's get down to business first. Take me to the room where Mr. Osomatsu was injured. It's guarded by the police. I think it will be very troublesome to go in without you."
"It seems like he misunderstood something. Do smart people like to be self-deprecating?"
Tang Ze complained about Conan in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and nodded, then took Conan to the warehouse where Asong was attacked.
