Chapter 352 Maori Kogoro: I have three reasons...
"At the time, there was a 'cleaning in progress' sign on the door of this restroom."
"So you just left?"
Inspector Megure asked when he heard this.
When he said this, Suzuki Sonoko blushed, shook her head and said,
"No, I couldn't hold it in any longer at that time, so I knocked on the door."
"But, no one responded from inside, so I just stood at the door and waited."
"As I waited, fireworks started to be set off outside. I heard the noise and ran to the nearest window to watch the fireworks."
"Just at this moment, I saw a strangely dressed man wearing a hooded coat coming out of the toilet."
When Suzuki Sonoko said this, Inspector Megure and others were suddenly shocked.
Officer Megure also hurriedly asked,
"And then? Did you see what that person looked like?"
"No, no."
Suzuki Sonoko showed a trace of regret in her expression.
"I just glanced at him casually at the time, and he was wearing a hooded coat and a scarf covering his face."
After hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said, Inspector Megure felt a little sorry, but he didn't care too much.
After all, based on his many years of experience, these cases would never be solved too easily.
"Cough cough,"
Officer Megure cleared his throat and said,
"Although it's a pity that Sonoko didn't see the murderer's appearance, at least we can be sure of one thing."
"That is, the murderer not only fired the gun when the fireworks were set off, but also disguised himself. It is obvious that he came prepared!"
"So, this is a very cruel murder!"
Inspector Megure used passionate words and said some very useless nonsense, but it should have played a role in boosting morale.
Seeing that everyone was shocked by him, Inspector Megure said to Sano Izumi and the other three seriously,
"Now, please follow our police officers to the four rooms for interrogation."
"After all, you four are the most suspicious right now."
"I think that if we interrogate you, we can get some information, such as who originally suggested that you go to this amusement park together."
Inspector Megure spoke very seriously, but the expressions of Sano Izumi and the other three changed.
Sano Izumi couldn't help but speak up.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, officer! We four decided to go to the amusement park together!"
"Hey, Miss, it's not too late to talk about this kind of thing when you're recording your statement later."
Takagi Wataru reminded somewhat awkwardly.
Izumi Sano was still thinking about what to say, but among the three people beside him, Oda Kuni remained silent and had a cold expression, but Komatsu Yoriko and Misawa Yasuharu also looked unhappy.
It was obvious that they were very averse to the police's separate interrogation.
Inspector Megure also noticed their discomfort, but there was nothing he could do as this was the necessary process for the police to handle the case.
Just as Inspector Megure was about to say a few words to comfort the four people, Maori Kogoro's voice came from the side.
"no need!"
Inspector Megure and everyone else turned around when they heard the voice, only to see Kogoro Mouri with his head slightly lowered, his eyes closed, and an expression that looked as if he was in deep thought.
When Inspector Megure and the others came, Maori Kogoro raised his head, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
"That's not necessary!"
"I understand it all!"
"what?!"
Everyone was shocked, and Inspector Megure showed an excited expression in a very routine manner.
"Brother Maori, are you telling the truth?!"
"That's right,"
Maori Kogoro nodded slightly and showed a confident smile.
"Actually, when I saw the crime scene just now, I already had a plan in mind, but I still wanted to see everyone's performance and listen to everyone's opinions."
Kogoro Mori's serious and steady words rang in everyone's ears.
After hearing what he said, someone in the crowd's expression changed slightly.
Even Conan and Hakuba Matsu couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the confused detective Mouri Kogoro has changed his previous poor reasoning and started to really put in his effort today?
Just listen to him continue to talk,
"After hearing what Sonoko said, I am even more certain that the murderer who brutally killed Chihiro Itami with that shotgun is—"
"Ms. Sano Izumi!"
"You are the murderer, there is no doubt about it!"
When Maori Kogoro said this, Sano Izumi's face changed drastically. She trembled slightly at first, then immediately calmed down and asked Maori Kogoro loudly,
"Hey, hey, hey, what gives you the right to say that to me?!"
"Don't talk nonsense without any evidence. I will sue you..."
"Humph!"
Maori Kogoro snorted coldly and smiled contemptuously.
"There are three reasons why I say you are the murderer."
Three, three reasons?!
Sano Izumi thought to herself that this was not good. Could it be that this famous detective had seen through her trick?
After all, if he fell into his own trap, there should only be one reason.
"The first point,"
Maori Kogoro's confident voice came,
"The murderer hung a sign on the door of the women's restroom, which was the crime scene, saying 'clean up', and then he lay in wait for the victim to arrive."
"That means the murderer must be a woman!"
Kogoro Mori's words were powerful, but the content was a bit confusing.
Even Inspector Megure, who always liked to follow his thoughts, didn't understand this time.
No, why is the murderer lying in ambush here, he must be a woman? No one has come, why can't he be a man?
And if he said he had made an appointment with Chihiro Itami to come to the women's restroom, it is also possible that the man asked the woman to pass the message on. This is all possible.
However, seeing that Maori Kogoro seemed to have a good reasoning, no one interrupted his reasoning and just listened to him continue,
"The second point is the relationship between you and the victim!"
"You and the victim have always had arguments, and it can even be described as irreconcilable, right?"
As Kogoro Mori spoke, his eyes were still fixed on Izumi Sano.
Sano Izumi was very angry when he looked at her like this.
"What are you talking about? Are you going to identify me as the murderer based on these so-called evidence and reasons?"
She was really speechless. What Mouri Kogoro said could be applied to other people, but she was just accused like this. It was really unfair!
"Hehe, of course not!"
Maori Kogoro smiled evilly, turned his head slightly, and looked at the wall on the side.
"The most crucial evidence is actually on the wall next to the victim's cheek!"
"Look!"
Everyone turned their heads following Kogoro Mori's actions and words.
