Looking at Niu Jinyan's regretful expression, Guangyou's thoughts were in turmoil.
If Niu Jinyan is indeed the murderer, then his participation in wrestling is a waste of his acting skills.
He suspected that the crucial evidence was on Niu Jinyan, but there was no legitimate reason to search him now.
Police don't just randomly search people; they need a reason. It might be because they didn't find the murder weapon, or because they're worried that the suspect might have some dangerous items on them.
The current situation is that the police never expected the murderer's method. Since the murder weapon has been found, they did not think about searching these people.
Moreover, it's inappropriate to rashly suggest a body search. If they find something, that's fine, but if they don't, they'll definitely get a scolding.
After all, in other people's eyes, I'm just a child, and if I bring it up, they'll probably say I'm causing trouble.
As expected, Conan still had to make an appearance.
Seeing that Kōyū had come to his senses, Ai asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with that man?"
"Maybe." Guangyou didn't dare to conclude that he was the murderer until he saw conclusive evidence, and replied, "But there's no evidence, and there are some things I don't understand."
"Can you tell me what you don't understand?" Ai crossed her arms and looked at Kyouya, who was half a step away from her, and said with a relaxed expression, "Maybe I can figure it out."
“Of course I can tell you.” Guangyou withdrew his gaze from Niu Jinyan, pinched his chin, and said, “In the video, after the murderer killed the person, he looked around and even tripped, but I don’t know what he was looking at.”
"I don't think it's possible that he was attracted by the things in the room. After the murderer got up from the floor, he left the lounge without even searching it."
"Besides, there's not much in this room, just a table, a few chairs, and a few cabinets. The cabinets have already been searched, and all that's left are the clothes the contestants changed out of."
"It's not that he doesn't know the way. This isn't a maze, it's just a small rest area. Unless he's sick or blind, how could he not know the way?"
These questions lingered in Guangyou's mind, refusing to dissipate for a long time.
Even if he put himself in the shoes of the murderer, he still couldn't figure it out.
"It is indeed quite suspicious." Ai nodded after listening and said, "Let me think about it."
"It's alright, take your time to think about it." After responding, Kōyū turned his attention back to Inspector Megure and the others.
The questioning continued when Inspector Megure interrupted their exclamations, asking, "Mr. Oogami, where were you at 7:20?"
"Because I have to go to a match, I do my warm-up exercises alone in the foreign wrestlers' lounge."
Taking into account Leonardo Rossi's language barrier, Da Shen Jingqing also helped explain, "Other foreign wrestlers, including Rossi, were watching Mr. Kiba's match at the time."
Inspector Megure turned to look at Leonardo Rossi, about to blurt out some English, when he suddenly remembered the time a foreign woman had relentlessly corrected him. He hesitated for a moment, then said in Japanese, "Is that so?"
Leonardo Rossi looked at Inspector Megure with slightly droopy eyes, his expression somewhat bewildered.
Having received no response, Inspector Megure coughed lightly and repeated himself, this time deliberately slowing down his speech: "Is that so, Mr. Le... Rossi?"
These foreign names are a real hassle.
Leonardo Rossi still looked somewhat bewildered. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at the great god Jing Qing. Seeing the other nod, he turned back and replied in English, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although his English wasn't very good, he could still understand "YES".
It's really difficult to talk to foreigners if you don't understand a foreign language.
Coming to his senses, Inspector Megure nodded and said, "So, all of you have alibis?"
“Inspector Megure, I have a different opinion.” Uncle Mori carefully chose his words before saying, “He couldn’t have committed this crime without the Wolf Mask’s mask, so I think the culprit must be one of the two people who have free access to the foreign athletes’ lounge.”
Before Oogami Keishin could explain, Inspector Megure said, "Mouri, actually, Mitsuyu already found the mask hidden in the bathroom next door, and the one the murderer used was also in there."
"I think those masks were originally placed in that bathroom, probably to conceal the Wolf-faced Warrior's true identity."
After saying this, Uncle Mori and Inspector Megure both turned their attention to Keiharu Oogami.
Da Shen Jingqing nodded and said, "The officer is right. The Wolf Mask Warrior's mask and the spare mask are both kept in that bathroom. This makes it convenient for us to secretly put on the mask. Otherwise, my frequent visits to the foreign players' rest room would easily arouse suspicion from outsiders."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Uncle Mori felt a little embarrassed.
Turning his head to look at Kōyū, who had discovered the mask, Uncle Mori saw the kid shrug at him and couldn't help but curl his lip.
This brat...
“Damn it.” Inspector Megure frowned and sighed. “If only the victim had left some message before dying.”
Xiaolan, who had been observing, frowned slightly upon hearing this and repeated in a low voice, "A message before death..."
"Ran-neechan, what's wrong?" Conan turned to look at Ran and asked with concern.
In order not to disturb the police investigation, Xiaolan deliberately bent down and said softly, "Didn't I say before that I know a wrestling finishing move? The name of that finishing move sounds a lot like 'Message Before Death'?"
