"Conan, you are serious," Mao Lilan reluctantly let go of Conan and said to Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, if you feel uncomfortable, put Conan down and don't spoil him too much..."
Conan finally understood why Mao Lilan hesitated just now, and showed an innocent expression in a cutesy way, "Brother Chi, are you feeling unwell?"
"I coughed just now, because Xiaolan was too nervous." Chi Feichi was able to hold Conan steady with one hand. He turned to the door, touched Conan's head with his free left hand, and said softly and calmly, "The split is really serious." serious."
Conan: "..."
(--11)
This is like an old father's movements, this is like a doctor's tone of calmly announcing the condition, and it actually has a hint of gentle pampering or gloating...
It's hard for Chi Fei to say it too late, but he can say such a sentence to attract people's imagination.
Hondo Yingyou walked up to the two of them and looked at Conan with curious eyes, "Xiaolan is right, Conan, when you are in front of Brother Fei Chi, your child's temper is very serious."
Thinking of his childish behavior just now, Conan became embarrassed and angry. He turned around and hugged Chi Feichi's neck with both hands, avoiding the gaze of Yingyou.
The action shows what the famous detective did not say - you need to take care of it!
Yingyou understood what Conan meant, smiled and touched the back of his head, then turned to ask Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, does Conan have any objections to me?"
"Probably because you often drag him along with you to get hurt." Chi Feichi said truthfully.
Hong Yingyou thought of Conan's various tragic situations and felt guilty, "I, I didn't mean it..."
Conan didn't say anything. After his friend Yingyou calmed down, he approached Chi Feichi's ear and reminded him in a low voice, "Brother Chi, there is a pearl earring on the table over there."
Chi Feichi looked at the tabletop over there that was shrouded in the orange light of the sunset, and said "hmm" to indicate that he saw it.
The earring on the table was worth a lot at first glance, but it was already evening before they knew it, and they hadn't had lunch yet.
Conan wasn't sure whether Chi Feichi understood what he meant, so he reminded him again, "I mean, there is a pearl earring on the table."
Chi Feichi: "Well..."
So, for the protagonist group, the normal rhythm is to only eat two meals a day at most?
Conan Half Moon Eyes, "There is a pearl earring on the table."
"I saw it." Chi Feichi was speechless.
He has already responded, does the detective want to say it again and again?
Conan: "..."
%＋×%&—#……
Then what? Gone?
Taking a deep breath, Conan tried hard to control his rising blood pressure, and decided to remind him more bluntly, "Since the murderer wanted to take away valuable things, why not take away that earring as well? That earring is obvious at first sight. It’s very valuable.”
"Teacher." Chi Feichi said.
"What's wrong?" Mouri Kogoro turned his head in confusion.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, very good, the next step is...
Chi Feichi pushed Conan out calmly, "Conan said, since the murderer wanted to take away valuable things, why not take away the earring on the table as well? That earring is very valuable at first glance."
The detective wants to take the blame on him, so he has to cooperate obediently because he's being cute? You can't get used to this problem!
Conan stared at Chi Feichi blankly, wondering whether he should say something or not.
Fortunately, Megure Thirteen and Mouri Kogoro's attention was focused on the pearl earrings on the table.
"It does look valuable," Mouri Kogoro walked to the table and looked down at the earrings, "but it could also be that Mrs. Funamoto wore the earrings to the banquet. She took them off and put them on the table as soon as she entered the room. , the murderer lurking in the house didn’t notice it.”
"Yes," the woman confirmed, "my wife wore pearl earrings to the banquet that day."
"But isn't it strange that there is only one?" Conan asked expressionlessly, making a mental note to Chi Feichi.
The tacit understanding as reasoning partners is gone!
Takagi Wataru felt that Conan's expression was a bit strange and scratched his head, "I remember that the other one was on the right ear of the deceased."
Mumu Shisan nodded, "The right side of the body's face is leaning against the wall. The murderer may not have noticed..."
Chi Feichi felt that just beating Conan was enough, so he said, "In other words, Mrs. Funamoto hurried to the balcony without taking off one of her earrings?"
Conan swallowed the words that came to his lips, his eyes shining.
That's right, that's it. It seems that the little friend is in the state!
"This..." Mouri Kogoro also noticed something was wrong.
"Judging from the traces at the scene and the clue that the deceased was shot in the back of the head, she was not forced onto the balcony." Chi Feichi looked at the woman standing aside, "No one heard calls for help that night, indicating that it was possible that she was She was halfway through taking off her earrings when someone called her to the balcony.”
Mouri Kogoro and Megure Shisan's expressions changed, they looked at each other and began to confirm the maid's alibi.
What can be said about calling the deceased to the balcony? He must have been someone familiar to the deceased and it was not surprising that he appeared in the house at that time.
If this is the case, they would be wrong to focus on the 'robber breaking in and committing the crime'. The murderer is most likely someone from this family!
The maid had an alibi. She was in the living room with two friends from 9 to 11 that night, discussing the dishes for the banquet that was supposed to be held today. After the deceased came back, he went to the living room to greet them before going upstairs. .
"Where is that little child?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion, "Didn't anyone take care of him at that time?"
"The young master must have fallen asleep in the room, because he has been playing like crazy since the evening," the woman recalled. "After my friend left, I tidied up the things that the young master had messed up. At midnight, I didn’t go to bed until about 10pm.”
Takagi Wataru nodded and confirmed, "I have already asked two of her friends, and they were indeed with her at that time."
"Then it's impossible for the maid to commit the crime," Mouri Kogoro murmured, and then continued to ask, "Then what did Mr. Funamoto do between 9 and 10 pm the night before yesterday?"
"The master is just like the young master," the woman said, "he had dinner and went to his room to rest before the wife came back."
Mouri Kogoro came to the door and looked out of the corridor, "Mr. Funamoto's room is next to my wife's room, right?"
"Yes, since the evening that day, the master has been pestered by the young master. He was probably tired and went to the room to rest very early." The maid said.
Mouri Kogoro turned around and leaned into Megure Thirteen's ear, "Officer Megure, maybe the murderer is that master..."
Chi Feichi approached Conan with his arms in his arms, ready to push forward.
Conan noticed Chi Feichi's behavior, silently praised it in his heart, and decided to forgive Chi Feichi's "loss of tacit understanding" just now.
It was better for Chi Feichi to hold him, Xiaolan would not hold him over to eavesdrop, and he himself was short, so sometimes he couldn't hear the clues that Officer Memu and Uncle Maoli said...
"It's unlikely," Megure Thirteen whispered to Mouri Kogoro in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you? The wife's gunshot wound was a penetrating wound from the back of the head to the forehead. Judging from the angle of the bullet's entry, the murderer's height is More than 180cm, but Funamoto-san’s height is only about 160cm, not to mention he is in a wheelchair.”
"Perhaps Mr. Funamoto's fracture has healed and he fired while standing in a wheelchair?" Mouri Kogoro guessed.
"I have also considered this possibility, so I called his doctor," said Mumu Shisan. "The doctor said that the day before the case happened, he went for an X-ray and the fracture was not healed. If no one With help, I’m afraid I can’t even stand up, let alone stand in a wheelchair.”
Mouri Kogoro touched his chin, "Could it be that when my wife was squatting down to pick something up, Mr. Funamoto was shooting from above?"
"That's impossible," Megure Thirteen said. "If that's the case, bullet holes and bullet marks should be left somewhere in the room, right? But we searched the whole house and didn't find any similar traces. .”
"Could it be that the wife is looking up at the stars on the balcony, and Mr. Funamoto is shooting from the bottom up from behind?" Chi Feichi joined the discussion at the right time and gave the answer.
Conan was stunned and his eyes lit up again.
Sure enough, his little friend is the most stable!
Mouri Kogoro and Megure Thirteen were startled for a moment, and then they also sorted out their thoughts.
"In this way, the bullet can indeed penetrate the forehead from the back of the head," Megure Shisan said with a heavy expression, "And we can't find the bullet that killed Mrs. Funamoto nearby, which can also explain..."
"Because the bullet flies to the sky and will not land where the police expected," Mouri Kogoro took over and quietly looked at the maid standing over there, "In addition, the maid also said that my wife likes it very much. Looking at the stars on the balcony, Mr. Funamoto probably came to his wife’s room that night. When she just took off one of her earrings, he said that there were stars outside, such as shooting stars, which you cannot see unless you take the time to look. He asked his wife to rush to the balcony and look up, while he opened fire in the house and killed her..."
"Hmm..." Megure Thirteen thought for a moment and thought it was reasonable. He looked at Moori Kogoro and asked, "But what about the wife's pearl necklace and bracelet? If the murderer is Mr. Funamoto, he is killing Funamoto." After the wife, he took away the necklace and bracelet from the wife, trying to create a robbery and murder incident, but his legs were not healed yet. Even if the necklace and bracelet were thrown somewhere, they would not be far away. We put this home and nearby I searched everything but couldn’t find the necklace or bracelet.”
"Could it be that they were torn apart and placed somewhere?" Chi Feichi continued to guide in a low voice, "That evening, the boy was playing wildly at home and made the house a mess. All he had to do was take apart the pearl necklace and bracelet. Into some things that the maid packed away with certain things while she was packing them away.”
"Is this possible?" Mouri Kogoro frowned and thought, "But there is more than one pearl. No matter where you put it or what it is mixed into, so many pearls will be very conspicuous..."
Conan recovered from the shocking discovery and hurriedly reminded, "Uncle, the day before yesterday was the Setsubun Festival. In traditional customs, you need to scatter beans to drive away evil spirits and pray for blessings, right? Starting from that evening, Mr. Funamoto and Touji had a lot of fun together. I’m tired, maybe I’m throwing beans to ward off evil spirits, the beans are round and look like pearls, don’t they?”
"Idiot! They are just very similar, but there are some differences," Mouri Kogoro said with a speechless expression. "The beans are a little flatter, and they are not as shiny as pearls. You can still tell them when they are mixed together, right?"
"That's right," Conan sighed with fake regret, "It would be nice if there was something to hide them and only expose them a little bit. That would make people ignore the difference."
