Chapter 59 You like telling stories, right?
“You’re right, but there’s one thing you’ve overlooked,” Conan said calmly in Mori’s voice.
"What?" Uesugi Yui's pupils contracted slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
"You probably don't know 'E's' gender, do you? E is a male. Why would he go to such lengths to put the murder weapon in the women's restroom?"
Conan, hidden from view, narrowed his eyes.
Uesugi Yui paused for a moment, then chuckled, crossed her arms, and looked at Mori with a mocking expression. "Heh, you guys don't actually know what gender E is, do you? You're just trying to trick me."
What a sharp woman...
Conan paused for a moment.
"Hey, Mori, do you really know who the murderer is?" Inspector Megure couldn't help but ask.
“Of course,” Conan continued, then asked Nakai Chikako, “Miss Nakai, were you aware that Mrs. Kawaguchi Miwa had previously lost her ring?”
Nakai Chiko pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I know. Just two days ago, Miss Meihe came to me specifically to ask me to ask the staff to keep an eye out for any rings that might have been accidentally left behind backstage."
"That's right. Kawaguchi Miwa's wedding ring didn't fall under the dressing table when she died. Two days ago, someone secretly took her ring and then used it to lure her to the costume and props room. The time was during the dark period before Aso Yuno's last performance."
"Perhaps she didn't know this would happen at that time, but it gave the murderer an excellent opportunity to kill. Of course, even if it wasn't during that time, she would still have found an excuse to make the other staff in the costume and props room leave, but this opportunity also reduced her suspicion."
Perhaps tired of standing, Shangshan leaned back against the wall. "You've said a lot, but what point proves that I killed the person?"
"Don't rush, let me finish."
Chizuru looked at Conan through Mori, feeling an urge to drag him out.
Want a quick and decisive victory? You really enjoy telling stories, don't you?
Conan, engrossed in solving the case, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He shivered and looked towards the door, only to find Chizuru standing there, staring at him with a melancholy gaze, as if she had seen him.
"A ring." Conan shook his head, then suddenly said.
"What?" Uesugi Yui raised an eyebrow. "You mean I took Meihe's ring? Where's the proof? Is there my fingerprint on it or something?"
"I never said there were your fingerprints on the ring, but... since it happened so suddenly and you couldn't find your gloves in the dark, you weren't wearing gloves when you committed the crime, were you?" Conan said in a low voice.
Uesugi Yui rolled her eyes, somewhat impatiently. "What exactly are you trying to say? Are you saying you found my fingerprints on the murder weapon?"
"No, since you've already cleaned the murder weapon, it naturally doesn't leave any fingerprints. However, your fingerprints were found on one of the clothes that wrapped the victim!"
He spoke his last sentence with great force and conviction.
"...Leave fingerprints on clothes? Are you kidding me?" Yui Uesugi's voice trembled with laughter as she said this.
"Fingerprints can't be left on fabric, but they can on decorations embedded in clothing! After committing the crime, you threw the victim into the closet and tried to cover her with the clothes. It was at that moment that you picked up the dress and accidentally touched the decorations on it!"
