Conan: Above force, everything is truth!

After hearing this answer, Takanashi Noboru beside him also slowly asked: "Could it be that your motive is... Uekusa took Ishikuri's words seriously and died after jumping from the second floor into the snow?"

Umejima Machi carefully glanced at Momozono Kotone, "Although Ishikuri did say something stupid like 'There is such a thick snow, it will be fine even if you jump from the second floor', but..."

Momozono Kotone shook her head, "The night when Uekusa's body was moved away, I couldn't sleep at all, so I went to the balcony to change my mood."

"Just then, I saw Ishikuri digging the snow frantically downstairs, as if he was looking for something."

"At first, I thought he just couldn't accept that Uekusa died because of his irresponsible words, so he kept digging the snow where Uekusa fell, trying to find Uekusa."

"But later, I found out that he was looking for his scarf. After finding the scarf, he also smiled with relief."

At this point, Momozono Kotone's eyes showed a hint of hatred, and the people around him seemed to understand something.

Umeshima Machi and Takanashi Noboru stared at Momozono Kotone in disbelief, "Could it be that Ishikuri..."

"Yes, that's right! Uekusa didn't jump down by himself, he was pushed down by Ishikuri! Before he fell, he unconsciously grabbed Ishikuri's scarf."

Speaking of this, Momozono Kotone shed tears, "I think Ishikuri didn't intend to kill Uekusa. He should have wanted to push Uekusa into the snow and pull him up when he was exhausted."

"But I didn't expect that the two-meter-thick snow was like a bottomless swamp, swallowing up Uekusa's physical strength... When we found Uekusa, he had already..."

Tatsuno looked at Momozono Kotone in surprise. He didn't expect that she still believed that Ishikuri didn't kill Uekusa on purpose.

This shows that Miss Kotone herself is a very kind person, and she subconsciously thinks that the people around her are also very kind.

However, this can also be seen from the fact that her two friends have been speaking for her.

Although Tatsuno has just met these people for a short time, he doesn't know the personalities of each of them.

But from the questioning of several people by Officer Yokomizo just now, it can be seen that these two friends of Miss Kotone are relatively cautious and afraid of trouble.

If they did not really trust and like Miss Kotone, they would never stand up to speak for her.

Such a kind person who is loved by her friends can actually think of using murder as a means to solve the problem, which shows that she absolutely loves that "Mr. Ueki" deeply.

Xiaolan and Sonoko on the side seemed to have thought of this, and their eyes were full of sympathy and regret when they looked at Miss Kotone.

Conan was staring at Toru Amuro at this time, with a solemn expression.

As he judged, Toru Amuro's reasoning ability and knowledge reserves are obviously beyond ordinary people.

Why does such a person have to "lower his status" and worship Uncle Mori as his teacher?

In addition, he saw his watch just now and heard his own address to Tatsuno...

Although he just smiled and said that he was "impolite", there was no smile in his eyes when he said this.

Conan's brain was also working fast at this moment.

'Who is he? Why did he have to deliberately contact Uncle Maori? ! '

'Has he guessed something from what happened before? ! '

'...'

Thinking over it, although Conan felt something was not good, he also found a reason to comfort himself in his heart.

Even if Amuro Toru found that he was a little 'strange', it would be fine, as long as he could find a way to get away with it later!

After all, generally speaking, it is impossible for anyone to guess that their body has been shrunk by strange drugs.

As long as he can find a way to leave an impression like 'Conan is just a strange kid' to Amuro Toru, he should be able to get away with it.

...

After talking about the motive for the murder, Momozono Kotone cried silently for a while, then she wiped her tears and looked down at Conan with apology.

"But I failed after all... I deliberately threw the racket away to ensure that Ishikuri would choose to eat ice cream cake."

"I thought that as long as I could hurt someone a little, I could take the opportunity to invite them to the villa and increase the number of people eating lunch, and Ishikuri would naturally take the initiative to ask for ice cream cake..."

"I didn't expect the racket to hit the child, and I didn't expect the person with the child to be the famous detective Maori Kogoro..."

At this point, Momozono Kotone closed her eyes, "Maybe I am doomed, and I have fallen into a swamp-like road of destruction where the more I struggle, the deeper I fall."

Not long after, when Momozono Kotone's mood eased a little, Officer Yokomizo took her to the police car.

Before leaving, he's subordinates also found the spare key of the victim's room from the melted sports drink.

The case was completely over.

The sun was about to set, and after Tatsuno and others came out of Miss Kotone's villa, they were ready to return to Sonoko's villa to cook dinner.

Sonoko also invited Amuro Toru to go to her villa, but he refused with the reason that "I have something to do in the evening and I have to drive back to Mika immediately."

Before saying goodbye to Tatsuno and others, Amuro Toru smiled and looked at Tatsuno and Conan, and looked at each other.

Although it seemed that he was just smiling and saying goodbye to the two.

But both Tatsuno and Conan read the meaning of "unusual" from his eyes.

Not long after, in Sonoko's villa.

Because he wanted to see if his cooking skills had regressed, Tatsuno took the initiative to take on the responsibility of cooking dinner.

Maori Kogoro noticed the beer in the refrigerator with his sharp eyes, and immediately went back to the room with a few cans of beer with a smile on his face to "drink alone".

Sonoko and Xiaolan were happily playing chess in the living room.

Ryuno had just finished cleaning up the ingredients when he saw Conan coming over with a bitter face.

"Takeda, I think there's something wrong with Amuro Toru. I suspected before that he deliberately appeared next to Uncle Mori..."

"Oh? So do you think, is his problem bigger or yours?" Ryuno chuckled.

Ryuno's seemingly casual question made Conan silent for a few seconds.

What Takeda asked seemed to make sense...

Since he had long suspected that Amuro Toru had a problem, why did he have to anesthetize Uncle Mori in front of him?

In that case, is it not him who has a problem, but himself? !

...

At the same time

In a white Mazda car.

Amuro Toru was thinking while driving.

He always felt that Conan was a little strange.

Generally speaking, the first thought in a child of his age after seeing the murder scene should be fear.

But this child was not afraid at all, and he even always excitedly walked to the side of the victim and carefully observed the situation around the deceased.

At first, he thought it was a problem with Maori Kogoro.

Conan may have witnessed countless cases under the influence of this "famous detective".

So he was not afraid, and even imitated Maori Detective in solving cases.

But the more he observed, the more strange he felt.

Conan always seemed to find some important content and clues related to the case.

Today, after seeing the scope on Conan's watch and hearing him call Tatsuno, he suddenly had an absurd idea.

- Speaking of which, every time a case occurred, Conan would rush to the "front line".

But every time Detective Maori "slept" and began to reason, this child would always suddenly "disappear".

Could it be that...
