Conan's Silence in the Dark

"Mr. Māori, Mrs. Maori has not been seen for a long time. Oh, Xiao Jing met again! After Sato arrived, he greeted Xiao Jing, Kogoro and others with great energy.

"Some time ago, I heard that you encountered something unhappy, but now it seems that Officer Sato has been resurrected!" Kogoro and Sato said.

"Well, it's already over, and it's not my side that is responsible for that case. And because I solved a murder case with the help of your daughter when I came, I was also punished, I just drilled the tip of the bull myself, haha. Sato, who said with a big grin, laughed a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay, sometimes I make mistakes, but in the end I'll solve the case!" This time the case is also wrapped up in me! Kogoro began his own declaration of solving the case with an unshakable nature, which made Conan and Xiaojing on the side a little speechless.

Has Uncle Maori been like this all the time? Conan asked Xiao Jing with his eyes.

Xiao Jing sighed as a default, at least she didn't make a lot of trouble when she was with her father before.

"The victim was Mr. Daisuke Maeda, the head chef here, who died after being hit in the back with a blunt object. It was discovered that it was Miss Kinoko, who said that after everyone heard a faint noise at that time, about two minutes later, she went to the separate cooking room to inquire about the progress of Mr. Daisuke's cooking. The structure found that the cooking room was open and Daisuke fell inside, and the other staff members could testify. Takagi came over to report to Sato about the investigation.

"It must have been the prisoner who immediately fled in the opposite direction after attacking Mr. Daisuke." Kogoro speculated.

"When we went to visit the kitchen just now, Mr. Daisuke was still cooking." Xiaolan said.

Then the time of death should have been during the time when Xiaolan and her family went to visit the kitchen, and Mr. Man also received a threatening letter these days. Someone must have wanted to make this store unsustainable, that's why they did this kind of thing! Kogoro said with an expression that was definitely like this.

"Really? Mr. Man. Sato hurriedly confirmed to Man.

When Sato and Kogoro and his group discussed the case, Xiaojing found that Conan had indeed disappeared. I hadn't noticed it just now, but now that the shadow of sweets in my mind waved away, I knew that Conan must have gone to the scene.

Xiao Jing also quietly left the lounge and came to the independent kitchen at the scene, and now several staff members are collecting evidence, and the deceased has also been carried away, leaving a white humanoid pattern.

Xiao Jing observed and saw Conan squatting in front of a tomato thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jing asked.

Conan looked back and saw that it was Xiao Jing and pointed to the crack of the tomato.

"There's something strange about this rift, it's not like a crushed shape." Conan said.

"This is torn from it, and you can see that the roots of the cracks on both sides are obviously inserted into something." Xiao Jing squatted down and looked at it carefully and said.

"What did Mr. Man just ask you for?"

"Because in the past few days, Mr. Man received a threatening letter saying that the food in the full house could not be eaten, and asked Man to close the shop for rectification." Conan said casually to Xiao Jing.

"Oh. Is that why I approached my father and mother for help? "

"Part of this is in it, although it is said that it is an invitation to participate in the tasting. Since I wanted to be the manager of the store with peace of mind, I wanted to choose someone with the best cooking skills as the head chef, and I heard that the main competition was between Mr. Daisuke and Mr. Nanfune. "

"So the beneficiary is Mr. Nanfune?" Xiao Jing followed Conan's clues and said.

"At least there is a motive, and we detectives cannot make conclusions when we have not found conclusive evidence." Conan said this sentence with great momentum.

"My father has already gone down." Xiao Jing has the expression that you are a fake detective.

"Uh.... Your father is an exception! "

"Huh?" Xiao Jing stood up and looked around, and looked up to find that there seemed to be something in the ventilation fan.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked.

"I think we were all wrong." Xiao Jing said.

"What did you find?" Conan immediately asked.

"Mr. Daisuke, whom my sister and I saw in the kitchen at first, may have died. Just hung by something and did not fall. The front window completely blocked Mr. Daisuke from the heat of the cooking, and my sister and I saw that it was actually just the silhouette. Xiao Jing gestured to the exhaust fan above and said.

"If you say that, I understand!" Conan said with a sudden realization.

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

"It's not."

"Hey, what do you know?" Xiao Jing asked with some disappointment.

"I know the method of killing, please how can the prisoner be so easy to reason." Conan said with some headache.

"Well, I know you're pretty good, detective. So what's the technique? Xiao Jing was still a little curious about the technique, at least she hadn't discovered it yet.

"Wait a minute." Saying that, Conan ran to the staff on the side.

"Uncle, Uncle Maori said there may be some clues there, can you please help take a look?" Conan said cutely.

"Did Mr. Maori say that? Okay, I'll take a look. Sure enough, the staff removed the exhaust fan after hearing the daimyo of Maori Kogoro, and found a rope inside, and the triangular knot on the head of the rope had red liquid on it.

"Well, the rope was found, but what used to create the illusion that Mr. Daisuke is not dead."

"It's the tomatoes there." Conan explained to Xiao Jing.

“？？" Xiao Jing said that she still didn't understand.

"The prisoners first froze the tomatoes and then punched a hole in the middle, and the ropes at both ends were passed through and knotted to form a Lu character structure. Then the other end of the rope was tied around Mr. Daisuke's arm and two ropes were tied to the exhaust fan. "

Then the exhaust fan rotated slowly, driving the rope to produce a not very heavy pull, and Mr. Daisuke was immobilized because of the tomato connection. Then, when the tomatoes soften, the rope is pulled away and rolled back into the exhaust fan, right? Xiao Jing continued.

"Well, that's right." Conan nodded to confirm Xiao Jing's conjecture.

"Then the murderer should be Mr. Man." Xiao Jing put her hand on her lips in thought.

"Huh?" This time, it was Conan who was surprised that Xiao Jing locked the murderer so quickly.

"You see, the only person who can be in Mr. Daisuke without making a fuss is the head chef. Although the cooking room is separate, it is not completely soundproofed. "

"Well, that's right." Conan also nodded in agreement.

"And then, isn't the beneficiary of this alibi trick the head chef?" He forged threatening letters to find my parents as witnesses, using this time difference to perfectly prove that he did not have time to kill. Xiao Jing said her two reasons.

"But the head chef agreed to let Xiaolan and you visit the kitchen, so there is a risk of being discovered by you." Conan voiced his doubts.

"Normally, we as visitors don't disturb the chef who is preparing the dishes, so the head chef just pretended to be the real thing, so let's go and visit."

"Although what you said has some truth, I always feel that something is not right." After listening to Xiao Jing's reasoning, Conan felt that there was some reason, but he felt that something was wrong.

"You tell me the details of your side over there, and I'll see if I can find any clues." Conan asks Xiao Jing to tell him the details of her visit to the kitchen with Xiaolan.

Later, after Xiao Jing told Conan about her side, she also learned about the threatening letter and the things that Man talked about with his parents.

"Xiao Jing, Conan can't run around!" Xiaolan appeared at the door at this time, obviously looking for the two children.

"Sister / Sister Xiaolan."

"If you don't pay attention, you will really run around." Xiao Lan took Xiao Jing and Conan out of the kitchen one by one.

"I came to eat Chef Nanfune's cooking, and I made a reservation. What the! How could this happen? So can't you eat Nanfuna's cuisine? Want to postpone? Hey, that's all there is to it. Xiao Lan and the others who had just come to the living room were attracted by the sound of the front desk.

"Did someone just come specifically to eat Mr. Nanfune's cuisine?" Xiaolan asked after leading the two closer.

"Yes, Chef Nanfune's cuisine has been widely praised recently. It is said that after eating, I have an unspeakable sense of happiness and receive many appointments. The greeter at the front desk said.

"That's really awesome." Xiaolan said enviously to Nanship's cooking skills.

"However, Nanfune's cooking skills suddenly became powerful some time ago, and I don't know what secret is used."

Conan seemed to know something after hearing her words.

"Dad, how's it going? Have you found out the murderer? Ran took Conan and Shizune to the lounge, where Goro and Sato were still discussing the case. The rest of the room had left first to continue working.

"Well, we've found a clue. The rope was found in the exhaust fan, and he checked with Officer Sato that the modus operandi had been found. Mr. Daisuke, whom you and Shizune saw back then, may have died. Kogoro and Sato have also deduced the modus operandi based on the rope and clues at the scene.

"Does Father already have a goal?" Xiao Jing asked.

"That's right, I think it's Mr. Man. But Ying Li said that Mr. Man had been explaining the threatening letter to her before I came, and did not leave, so Mr. Man also had an alibi at that time. Kogoro said with some embarrassment, after all, his reasoning was completely denied by his lover.

"So the prisoner should have someone else, and the investigation has reached an impasse." Ying Li concluded.

"That means everyone except Mr. Man is suspicious?" Xiao Jing said.

"Well, that's probably the case now." Sato thought for a moment and said.

"If Mr. Nanfune had taken us to his personal cooking room at that time, it would not have been so troublesome." Xiao Jing's brain was also a little unable to turn, and she muttered a little abandoned.

"The personal cooking room is only allowed by the head chef and the head sous chef, so isn't it normal that Nanfuna didn't take you in?" Wait a minute! After Conan finished speaking, he immediately thought of something, and looked like he had caught something.

"Huh?" Xiao Jing looked over suspiciously.

"Xiao Jing, I already know who the murderer is!" Conan pulled Xiao Jing aside, and Conan's small movements were seen by Xiao Lan and shook his head helplessly. She thought Conan was going to take Xiao Jing to be naughty again.

Conan then told Xiao Jing his reasoning.

"Uh... That's true, but that's your guess. What about the actual evidence? After listening to it, although Xiao Jing felt that the reasoning was very appropriate, there was still a lack of conclusive evidence.

"If I hadn't misreasoned, the evidence would still be on the scene!"

"Then let's go to Officer Takagi to verify what you said, I think the identification department should be more sensitive to this aspect."

"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Man right away to help arrange it!" Conan also immediately began to confirm his reasoning and began to act.

"Xiao Jing, where is Conan?" Xiao Lan saw Xiao Jing come back alone and asked without seeing Conan's figure.

"Well, he went to the toilet." Xiao Jing deliberately nodded and thought for a while and said.

"Conan!" Xiao Lan saw Xiao Jing's appearance and knew that Xiao Jing was lying, and she planned to wait for Conan to teach her sister a good lecture!

"Xiaojing, a good boy can't lie!" Xiao Lan turned to look at Xiao Jing again.

"Conan went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and said he would bring me some when he was ready." Xiao Jing immediately stated her purpose.

"Really." Xiaolan was a little helpless about Xiao Jing's idea of continuing to consume sugar.
