Guangyou stood to the side, wanting to retort, "The Grim Reaper is that bespectacled kid. Uncle Mori, you're just a spokesperson at best."
These words suddenly made Uncle Mori become arrogant. He crossed his arms and turned his head away: "Then this time, you can ask the Celestial Maiden Statue to help you catch the criminal!"
Yokomizo didn't mean that. He greatly admired Uncle Mori. He was simply happy to see Uncle Mori's reasoning this time. However, it was rather strange that Uncle Mori could be found at the scene of each case.
Needless to say, the suspects have been narrowed down to the few people who boarded the cable car.
What's puzzling is how Eizo Domoto disappeared and how his corpse ended up on the wish-fulfilling jewel of the Celestial Maiden Statue.
The only certainty is that it definitely happened inside the cave. According to Uncle Mori's deduction, there might be an accomplice inside the cave. Uncle Mori doesn't believe in supernatural things like curses.
Conan jumped in again, interrupting Uncle Mori: "I don't think so!"
Uncle Mori frowned immediately, clenched his fist the size of a sandbag, and was about to give Conan a good beating.
Yokomizo pulled Uncle Mori aside and asked, "Conan, where do you think it's unlikely?"
He had heard rumors about Conan. According to the Metropolitan Police Department, there was an exceptionally capable child beside the sleeping Kogoro who could often catch details that even they couldn't. Yokomizo naturally knew that this child was Conan.
Putting aside everything else, the time factor alone makes it very difficult. The cable car takes about half a minute to pass through the cave, and it's highly unlikely that you could kill someone and move them onto the celestial maiden statue within that short time.
These words left Uncle Mori speechless, but he didn't want to lose face, so he asked, "Miss Ayaka, is there anything in the cave, like an elevator, that leads to this observation deck?"
Yoshino Ayaka shook her head: "That's absolutely not true, but during the renovation period, there was indeed a staircase leading from the observation deck to the tunnel that was used as a passage."
"That's it!" Uncle Mori breathed a sigh of relief. "The murderer must have used it to commit the crime!"
But Yoshino Ayaka poured cold water on that idea again: "But even for an adult, it would take three minutes to run."
Eizo Domoto isn't stupid; it's impossible for him not to resist. If the murderer had to carry Eizo Domoto, it would have taken even longer.
"This is divine retribution!"
