The only remnant on the mask belonged to Oogami Keishin.
Upon hearing this news, both Inspector Megure and Uncle Mori looked rather grave.
"What about the victim's fingernails?" Inspector Megure asked. "Any clues?"
“No,” Chiba shook his head and replied.
“That’s strange…” Conan and Inspector Megure exclaimed simultaneously, “If the victim wanted to remove the murderer’s mask before he died, then judging from the crack found on the mask, there should have been some useful clues found under the victim’s fingernails.”
"Hey..." Kōyū couldn't help but interrupt Conan's thoughts, "Can I talk about it?"
Coming to his senses, Conan turned to look at Kousuke and said, "Go ahead and say it."
"Let's start with that point of doubt you couldn't figure out earlier," Kōyū casually suggested, "Is it possible that the killer's field of vision was narrowed by wearing a mask, and they were looking around to check their surroundings?"
At this point, Guangyou paused slightly: "Mr. Oogami is used to wearing a mask, so naturally this situation is impossible for him. The same applies to Rossi and Saguma Hiroyuki. Rossi wears a wolf mask, and Saguma Hiroyuki is a stand-in. If they weren't used to it, they would have been recognized long ago."
Kōyū hadn't figured it out before, but after Ai reminded him, he immediately understood.
He had worn masks before, quite a few times, but after getting used to the view through a mask, he hadn't taken it to heart. He hadn't even thought about it just now.
"Hmm..." Conan thought for a moment, nodded, and asked, "This is the most reasonable explanation so far, but why can't we detect any traces of the culprit in the mask?"
"Because he was wearing two masks, you can see that in the video. Other wolf head masks are secured with two straps, but in the video there are four."
Kōyū truthfully stated, "First, he put on a fighting mask, and then he wore a thin mask for eating inside that mask. This way, no traces would be left inside the mask, which is why the murderer had no injuries on his face."
At this point, Conan already understood.
"As for the valid evidence, it's probably on Niu Jinyan," Guangyou continued. "He probably doesn't have time to deal with that thin mask, but... even if the evidence isn't on him, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of ways to trick him."
To deal with this kind of murderer, all you need to do is speed up the interrogation and create a tense atmosphere.
At the same time, add some leading words to the conversation to deliberately provoke him. Once you tear off his disguise, you can basically get him to tell you the truth about the case.
Of course, this method is not 100% successful.
If the prisoner is someone like Gin, then this method will absolutely fail; there's no point in even trying it.
"Hmm... It's up to you now, Conan." Kouyu patted Conan on the shoulder and said to him earnestly.
"Yeah, don't worry." Conan nodded, but immediately realized something was off.
That sounds just like what a leader would say when assigning tasks to employees.
By the time Conan realized this, Mitsuyu had already returned to Ai's side and struck up a conversation with her: "It's almost noon, are you hungry?"
"I'm not very hungry," Ai shook her head. "How about you?"
“A little.” Guangyou put his hand on his stomach and said, “I’ll take you to lunch after the case is over.”
"Um."
...
Seeing the two chatting over there, Conan's forehead creased with annoyance.
They were discussing what to have for lunch at the crime scene.
These two are really...
Forget it, let's solve this case first.
Coming to his senses, Conan pressed the button on his wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun, went to the table where the camera was placed, and deliberately used an extremely awkward childish voice to say to Uncle Mori, who was discussing the case with Inspector Megure, "Uncle, I think this mask is really strange."
"Hmm?" Uncle Mori turned his head, walked towards Conan, and asked, "What's strange?"
"Uncle, look!" Conan turned the video to the scene where the culprit turned his head and pointed to the screen, saying, "It's behind the mask the culprit is wearing."
Uncle Mori bent down, took a closer look, then frowned and said in a puzzled tone, "Hmm? It does seem a little different."
As soon as he finished speaking, Conan raised his hand and fired a needle, hitting Uncle Mori's neck precisely without even aiming.
In just a moment, Uncle Mori had already slumped onto the table and fallen into a deep sleep.
Guangyou, who had witnessed all of this, shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I feel sorry for the old man."
That level of skill is absolutely amazing.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone in the room was focused on Uncle Mori, Conan quickly hid under the table, used the voice changer to impersonate Uncle Mori, and said, "Excuse me, Inspector Megure, could you please arrange this room according to my wishes and then have those suspects come over here?"
Seeing this familiar scene, Inspector Megure couldn't help but ask, "Brother Mouri, could it be that you..."
"Don't panic, Inspector Megure," Conan said, pondering what to do next. "You'll find out soon who killed Nagase in this room."
Upon receiving a confident reply from "Brother Mori," Inspector Megure didn't think twice and immediately agreed.
They were indeed very efficient in their work; before long, the scene was set up, and the four suspects returned to the lounge under Chiba's guidance.
Takagi accompanied them.
