Chapter 3309 3321 [Weird Maori Ran]
The "Wolf-Faced Warrior" pointed to the restroom outside and said, "Every time there is a public event, the hoods will be placed in the staff-only restroom, so that I can change the hoods under the guise of going to the restroom, which can better keep my identity confidential."
"That is to say, the four of you all know where the wolf mask is, and can easily get it..." The hope that Inspector Megure had just ignited was immediately extinguished.
The police inspector looked at the camera next to him and scratched his hat in worry. "It's rare that we captured the death scene. How come the deceased didn't leave any message? As long as he scratched a name on the wall with blood, even if the murderer covered it up afterwards, we would be able to see it from the camera."
Conan was not interested in this assumption, he discovered another thing: something seemed to be wrong with Mao Li Ran.
As the champion of the Kanto region's female high school karate competition, Mao Lilan actually loves this extracurricular hobby and usually pays attention to activities such as wrestling and fighting. He originally thought that when Officer Takagi was star-chasing just now, Mao Lilan would also take out her autograph book and carefully approach her to ask for a few autographs.
But now...she did nothing and instead focused her attention elsewhere?
After hesitating for a moment, Conan moved closer to her and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xiaolan, is something wrong? - Your expression looks a little strange."
"Ah?" Mao Lilan, who was closely observing Judy with her peripheral vision, was startled by his sudden words.
After coming to her senses, the high school girl laughed dryly and said, "No, nothing happened! I was thinking...well, I was thinking about the death message that Inspector Megure said!"
Under Conan's suspicious gaze, she casually said a word she had just heard and had some impression of, and changed the subject: "Speaking of 'death message', there is a special move in fighting wrestling, and the name is very similar to it, it seems to be called..."
"'Flash Raid'?"
"Yes!" Mao Lilan got the hint and nodded happily. After she nodded, she realized something. She turned her head suddenly and found Jiang Xia also coming over.
"..." The high school girl who was monitoring her foreign teacher suddenly felt guilty. Although she did nothing wrong, she was under great pressure to suspect a friendly teacher.
Under Mouri Ran's nervous gaze, the famous detective looked at her, then at Judy, and revealed an expression of "I see" that made Mouri Ran jump with fear.
Then he seemed to have understood the answer, asked no questions, and went back to the police.
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon she couldn't help but bring it up again: Could it be that... Jiang Xia guessed what she was thinking?
Beside him, Conan looked at this, then that, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head: "......?"
…
Inspector Megure was unable to get any useful information from the witness. He sighed and said to the four suspects, "We don't have enough clues at the moment. Let's continue investigating here. The four of you will follow Takagi and move to another lounge to wait."
The four people had no objection, and the "wolf-faced warrior" and the foreigner put on their masks again and pushed the door open to walk out.
After walking a few steps, a wrestler with a bleeding head and layers of gauze wrapped around his head passed by.
When the two sides passed each other, the "Wolf-Faced Warrior" stopped and said in surprise: "Mr. Lushan, are you okay? Why are you wrapped up like a mummy?"
"It's you, kid." The two had a good relationship. Lu Shan shook his head indifferently, indicating that he was fine.
I quickly remembered something and lowered my voice curiously: "I just heard someone say that Nagase was stabbed to death. Is it true?"
The "Wolf-Faced Warrior" didn't know if he could say it, so he looked back at Officer Takagi. But since he didn't deny it, the answer to this question was obviously obvious.
Lushan, whose head was bleeding, suddenly felt that the wound no longer hurt and could not help but reveal an expression of emotion that "life is unpredictable".
Jiang Xia stood by the door and watched them for a while. Suddenly, there was a sound of running in the corridor and Officer Sato hurried over.
"The forensic report is out!"
Seeing Jiang Xia standing at the door, Sato Miwako easily put the report in his hand.
Then, when Officer Megure came over following the sound, she took out another copy and handed it to her superior - as early as when she heard that she would meet Jiang Xia again during this police call, she already knew what to do now.
Of course, this report is too thick. If I want Jiang Xia to grasp the situation as quickly as possible, I have to summarize the key points.
Miwako Sato pointed to the page she had labeled and said, "I took a look on the way here. The blood splattered on the wolf mask that the murderer left in the bathroom does belong to the victim."
"In addition, the hair, dandruff and other residues attached to the inside of the bloody hood are consistent with the information on the other masks - they should all be left by the 'Wolf-Faced Warrior' himself.
"From this point of view, the person wearing the mask and committing the crime... should be the 'wolf-faced warrior', Ogami Keiharu."
Jiang Xia nodded: "Is there any biological information of the murderer in the nails of the deceased?"
"No." Officer Sato frowned subconsciously when he mentioned this. "The forensic department checked many times, but none of them could extract the murderer's blood or skin flakes from the nails of the deceased."
"How could this happen?" Inspector Megure was puzzled. "I remember that the video showed it very clearly - the deceased tore the murderer's mask and tried to pull the hood off with force... The mask was torn and his nails scratched his face, which should be normal, but he didn't?"
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "We all think that the murderer is deliberately concealing his identity and disguising himself as a 'wolf-faced warrior' because he wore a mask when committing the crime, but could the truth be like this? The murderer wants to take advantage of our thinking and do the opposite, hiding himself in the blind spot of thinking."
"That is to say, the murderer is the person who is least likely to be the murderer - the masked 'Wolf-Faced Warrior' himself!"
“…”
There was silence.
The police looked at this high school girl who had said something wrong several times, and rationally felt that they should not believe her, but this passage sounded like it made sense?
After hesitating for a moment, Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia: "Jiang Xia, what do you think..."
"It's an interesting idea." Jiang Xia said before Inspector Megure ordered the arrest, "But this time... the murderer should be someone else."
