Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 1048 Reasoning

Everyone came back to several suspects.

But at this time a small episode occurred.

"Hey! Don't move!" Takuya Kuma suddenly stared at a clerk angrily.

The clerk was startled and quickly stopped what he was doing. He was just about to clear the things on the table.

Kuma Takuya came to the table with an unhappy look on his face and picked up a bag of popcorn that the clerk was about to take away: "Next time, don't take away other people's things without permission! I haven't eaten my popcorn yet. It’s over!”

When Hattori and Conan saw this scene, they looked at each other and smiled meaningfully at the same time.

Hattori Heiji coughed lightly: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I have good news for you. We already know who the murderer is!"

The three suspects immediately looked over with solemn expressions.

Hattori Heiji smiled slightly: "First of all, I want to explain one thing, that is, one of the three of you told a lie!"

"Lie? What lie did you tell?" Ivy Kengo asked.

"It's just the kind of game you watch." Conan laughed: "Some people clearly went to watch a game of another sport, but they lied to us."

Hattori Heiji didn't show off, and looked directly at Kuma Takuya: "This liar is you - Mr. Kuma Takuya!"

Kuma Takuya's expression changed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did I lie?"

At this time, the commentator's excited exclamation suddenly came from the TV in the coffee shop: "Goal! The Big Osaka team's competition player, despite the pressure of being away, successfully scored a beautiful goal!"

Hearing these words, Kuma Takuya's expression froze.

Hattori Heiji said: "You also realized it, right? You said [visitor] at the time, but in football, the visiting team should be [away]."

"Also, supporters in football are not [fans], but [supporters]."

"The words [visitor] and [fan] are often used in baseball. In other words, you are not familiar with football games at all!"

Cold sweat broke out on Kuma Takuya's forehead, but he continued to argue: "That...that's because it's my first time to watch football today, so I'm not used to it..."

Hattori Heiji approached him and asked quietly: "So, please tell me, what is the number of the player who finally scored the key goal?"

Kuma Takuya was suddenly speechless.

Hattori Heiji chuckled: "Can't you answer that? Even if you can use your mobile phone to know the results and general situation of the game, the player's number is not within the published range."

Takuya was silent for a long time.

Hattori Heiji looked at Kuma Takuya: "So, you who lied are undoubtedly the murderer who attacked Mr. Kunisue!"

"I have a question!" Xiaolan raised her hand slightly and said, "Didn't Mengyu say that the game was boring? Why was Mr. Kunisue so excited?"

"It's very simple!" Conan said with a smile: "Think about it, why is it that Mr. Kunisue stuffs all his things into the pocket of his right trousers, but the pocket of his jacket is empty?"

"This..." Xiaolan thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Could it be that the pocket was not empty, but contained something important, so Mr. Kunisue put everything else in his pants? in the pocket?"

Conan shook his head: "That's not entirely true. In fact, those things were not stuffed in by Mr. Kunisue."

"Eh? If it's not Mr. Kunisue, is it the prisoner? Then why did the prisoner do this?" Xiaolan asked confused.

"Because the trouser pocket was originally filled with other things, which made the pocket bulging, that's why the murderer put so many things in the trouser pocket to cover up the abnormality of the pocket." Hattori Heiji replied.

"So, what was that thing before? Will it make your pocket bulge?" Kazuye asked.

Hattori Heiji smiled and said: "To be able to be carried in a pocket, and to make Mr. Kunisue so happy, and to get it on the field, I'm afraid it's only..."

"The only one left is the home run baseball, right?" Conan gave the answer.

Xiaolan suddenly realized: "I see, if that's the case, no wonder Mr. Kunisue is so happy!"

"But why did Kunisue-san invite his friends to meet at this coffee shop? Wouldn't it be safer to just take the ball home?" Wawa Ye was puzzled.

"This is very simple!" Meng Yu said with a smile: "If someone came home and took a baseball and told you that it was a home run hit in a certain game, would you believe it?"

"I definitely don't believe it! Isn't this too ridiculous?" He Ye replied immediately.

"So, Mr. Kunisue also considered this issue, so he decided to meet at this sports cafe." Meng Yu said with a smile.

He Ye was startled.

"That's right." Hattori Heiji nodded: "Because there is a TV broadcast here. Although the cameras generally ignore the audience throughout the game, the cameras will definitely capture the home run hit into the audience."

"That means if someone catches that home run ball, it's going to be caught on camera," Conan added.

"Oh? Now it's time to play the home run!" Mengyu looked at the TV above.

Everyone looked up and saw the camera lens gradually coming to the auditorium following the home run ball.

Then the screen switched for a while, and finally the final landing point of the ball was locked.

Kazuya's eyes immediately widened: "It's Mr. Kunisue!"

In the picture, Mr. Kunisue is raising his right hand high with excitement, and in his hand, he is holding the baseball!

"Look! Behind him... isn't that Mr. Kujian?" Xiaolan also exclaimed.

When everyone took a look, sure enough, in the row behind Mr. Kunisue, Kuma Takuya was sitting there with a look of resignation.

Zhuo Zai didn't say a word for a long time, but his expression gradually became gloomy.

Hattori Heiji pointed to the popcorn in his arms: "If I guessed correctly, that baseball should be hidden in this bag of popcorn now, right?"

Officer Takagi immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Can you let us check it?"

Kuma Takuya remained silent.

"I'm sorry." When Officer Takagi saw this, he directly put his hand into the popcorn.

A few seconds later, a baseball appeared in his hand.

A hint of surprise flashed in Officer Takagi's eyes, but he still tried his best to maintain a dignified expression and said to Kuma Takuya: "Mr. Kuma, do you have anything else to say?"

Kuma Takuya sighed: "Yes, I did hit that person. I really need this baseball."

"What? Are you a fan of that player?" Hattori Heiji asked doubtfully.

Kuma Takuya shook his head: "No, it's not me, it's... my girlfriend who has passed away."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
