Stay away from Conan

"Ah! Look! Those three guys!"

At this moment, because of the fingerprint issue, Xiaolan paid attention to the three guests in the lounge whose identities were not very certain. Suddenly, Xiaolan noticed something and said to everyone:

"The man with bangs has bandages on his little finger and ring finger. The man with glasses and beard has a band-aid on his left ring finger. The man with sunglasses keeps his left hand in his pocket..."

"This behavior is just like not wanting others to take the fingerprint of their left ring finger..."

As soon as Xiaolan finished speaking, Maori Kogoro immediately said this thoughtfully.

So, the groom Ping Zhenghui listened to everyone talking about this, and suddenly he became very angry and said:

"I understand! I'll call those three people out and let you question them and check their fingerprints! That way you'll know there are definitely no robbers here! There aren't any suspicious people among the guests I invited!"

It seems that Taira Masaaki is a little fed up with Kogoro Mori and the police's attempts to verify the guests' fingerprints, and he is ready to just let the police check it directly.

"No, no need, Mr. Taira Masaaki, don't be angry. Officer Megure, it is indeed inappropriate to check the fingerprints of guests in this situation, so forget it for now."

As a result, at this moment, after thinking seriously for a while, Miyano Akemi whispered a few words in Officer Sato's ear using the identity of "Gao Yuan", and suddenly gave this advice to Officer Megure and others.

"Ah? But, brother Akechi... wasn't it you who suggested trying to find that guy who sneaked in before the wedding ceremony? Why now?"

Officer Megure was a little confused about Gao Yuan's change of attitude and asked in confusion.

In response, Gao Yuan simply said:

"Since Miss Yihuli said those three should be her friends, it won't be difficult to verify it a little bit. Besides... I have some ideas. Let's talk about it after we go back."

So, when Inspector Megure heard Gao Yuan say that he had some ideas, he was puzzled, but he still believed in Gao Yuan's judgment, so he didn't say much, but after a moment of silence, he nodded to show his agreement.

Kogoro Mori was obviously a little unhappy with Gao Yuan's behavior. After all, at this point, simply checking fingerprints would basically be enough to determine who the criminal was, but he insisted on stopping. What would he do if the robber and murderer really took action?

However, since Inspector Megure has agreed to Gao Yuan's suggestion, Maori Kogoro can't say anything. And it is true that if the bride and groom do not agree, the practice of forcibly checking the guests' fingerprints cannot be implemented...

Just like that, seeing that they didn't need to check the guests' fingerprints, the bride and groom were obviously a little relieved, and then the groom Ping Zhenghui said:

"There will definitely be no problem with the guests we invited."

Then, the one who walked in front returned to the original lounge with Inspector Megure and the others.

On the way, "Gao Yuan" glanced at Officer Sato, and when he saw Officer Sato nodded slightly, Officer Sato leaned close to Officer Shiratori's ear and whispered something. Then the two of them followed directly behind the bride and groom.

Conan, who noticed their actions, couldn't help but ponder, because he realized that Gao Yuan must have known something...

…

"Brother Mingzhi, what do you want to say?"

After returning to the lounge where the bride and groom were originally, Inspector Megure really wanted to know what Gao Yuan knew, so he looked very worried and asked directly to "Gao Yuan".

In this regard, after returning here, Miyano Akemi looked around and confirmed that Officer Sato and Officer Shiratori, as well as the police officer who was originally guarding the door, were also guarding the door and were on guard because Officer Sato had said something to him when he came in just now.

In this way, Miyano Akemi began her reasoning as "Gao Yuan" -

"In fact... what Miss Yihuli and Mr. Ping Zhenghui said just now makes sense. The robber and murderer was not among the guests present. Even if we check their fingerprints, there will be no results."

"Why?"

Suddenly, "Gao Yuan" directly denied the possibility that the robber and murderer might have killed a guest and used his invitation to sneak in. This inevitably made Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori feel very confused, and they couldn't help but utter such a voice.

In this regard, Miyano Akemi casually explained:

"I am very sure of this. Because these two newlyweds... especially the bride, Miss Yihuli, were observing the guests just now. Only those three were not sure about their identities. So according to common sense, the only people who might have problems are those three.

"But don't forget, before this, when we were with Miss Miyamoto Yumi, who pretended to be the bride, those three had taken the initiative to come forward and greet the bride. If they were the robbers and murderers who sneaked into Miss Yihuli's house half a year ago, they probably wouldn't do this. After all...

"Ms. Yihuli has heard the other party's voice!"

"yes!"

Immediately, as these words came out, Inspector Megure suddenly realized something and exclaimed:

"That man threatened Miss Li and the others half a year ago. Miss Li must remember his voice. If he was the robber and murderer, he would not have taken the initiative to greet the bride. This would have directly exposed his identity!"

"Well, that's what I said. How could there be such a robber among the guests we invited?"

After hearing this, the groom Ping Zhenghui said very proudly, and then looked at "Gao Yuan" with satisfaction——

After all, he first prevented the wedding from being cancelled, and then explained why there were no suspects among the guests, which was perfectly in line with his wishes.

Then, Ping Zhenghui immediately said to Yi Huli beside him:

"Look, everything is safe. Our wedding will go on as planned. There is no need to cancel it..."

"Regarding this..."

Just as Yihuli was listening to Ping Zhenghui's words and happily imagining the scene of the wedding ceremony, Gao Yuan's voice sounded again and continued:

"Ms. Yihuli, there is something I want to tell you, could you come over here?"

"Ah? Ah! Okay."

Facing Gao Yuan's request, Yi Huli's thoughts returned from the happy imagination just now. Then, out of basic trust in "Gao Yuan", although she was puzzled, she still walked forward. She didn't know what "Gao Yuan" wanted to say to her -

"Actually... Miss Yihuli..."

Seeing Yihuli walking forward and distanced herself from Ping Zhenghui, Miyano Akemi finally got to the point using the identity of "Gao Yuan" -

"Although the robber and murderer is not among the guests, he has already been here! Mr. Ping Zhenghui!" (End of this chapter)
