Chapter 306: Forbidden to Be a Riddler
"Officer, don't get me wrong. I just wanted to find out what kind of battle strategy he was going to use before the duel. Unfortunately, it was useless in the end."
Shimizu Takashi said with a nonchalant smile.
"Um,"
Inspector Megure nodded, and then he saw Shimizu Takashi bend down and touch the ground with his palms, as if he took or put something.
So, Officer Megure immediately asked,
"Mr. Shimizu, what are you doing? Did you pick up something from the ground?"
"I just dropped my lighter and picked it up from the ground."
Shimizu Takaho smiled and shrugged.
After listening to Shimizu Takashi's explanation, Inspector Megure did not have too many doubts.
Not long after that, the competition began.
Miwako Sato pointed at a person holding a camera in the picture and said, "Huh?"
“Isn’t this the waiter?”
As she spoke, she looked at the waiter beside her.
"What were you doing there? Was that a camera in your hand?"
"Yes, it is."
The waiter said with fear and trepidation,
"Because this game is really exciting, I couldn't help but want to record it and watch it carefully when I get back."
"Ok?"
Inspector Megure also became confused at this time.
"Didn't they say that Mr. Shimizu was being beaten by Mr. Bidou? What's so exciting about such a one-sided match?"
"Um, this, this..."
The waiter was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, and finally managed to say,
“Maybe it looks more intense.”
After he said this, Inspector Megure and others were still a little confused, but they did not continue to ask.
At this time, just as the waiter finished speaking, Takao Shimizu beside him turned to look at him.
"Have I seen you somewhere before?"
"No, no."
The waiter turned his head and whispered,
"You've got the wrong person."
"Yeah."
Shimizu Takashi smacked his lips and said nothing more.
Officer Megure and the others continued to watch the surveillance footage, commenting on it as they watched.
"Yeah, it does look very intense, and there are more and more people coming."
"Yes, Xiaolan and the others also left the racing area and came here to watch the competition."
"Hey, come to think of it, there were only Teacher Judy and the deceased, and they were both sitting on their game consoles?"
Officer Megure said so.
"Yes,"
Judy also smiled.
"However, at that time, my attention was focused on the game console and I didn't notice what was happening next to me."
"Oh okay."
Inspector Megure seemed to have some ideas. He touched his chin and raised a question.
"However, having said that, it seems that no one can prove what you said."
"But I think Teacher Judy must have been sitting on the game console the whole time."
When Xiaolan saw that her teacher was suspected by Inspector Megure, she also expressed her own opinion.
"That's right,"
Suzuki Sonoko also affirmed,
"When we saw something was wrong, we immediately rushed to the guy's side. Teacher Judy arrived after us."
"I see."
Inspector Megure nodded slightly.
"More than that,"
Xiaolan also helped to add,
"When we watched later, Teacher Judy was still playing the racing game and had achieved a new highest score."
"Then it looks like Teacher Judy is not a suspect."
Inspector Megure also came to a conclusion at this time.
"It's probably impossible to kill someone midway and get the highest score in the game."
As he spoke, Inspector Megure became confused again.
"But, in this case, who could be the murderer?"
At this time, Takagi Wataru pointed at a figure that flashed by next to Oto Kengo on the surveillance screen.
"Officer Megure, look!"
"Ah, this is it?!"
Inspector Megure was also surprised.
"At this time, someone actually appeared behind the victim!"
Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko also came over, and they both let out a "huh" sound at the same time.
"Isn't this the uncle who spoke to us before?"
Suzuki Sonoko said.
"Um,"
Xiaolan nodded.
"It was the uncle who had been playing the mahjong machine. He also criticized the deceased gentleman severely!"
!
After listening to what Xiaolan and Sonoko said, Inspector Megure and others felt their eyes brighten.
"Takagi, summon this person here immediately!"
Inspector Megure gave instructions to Takagi Wataru.
"Yes, officer!"
Takagi Shigeru immediately responded and walked outside.
At this time, Bai Masong took a look at the waiter's shoes, seemed to have thought of something, and walked out the door.
Everyone continued watching the videotape and did not notice Bai Masong leaving.
However, Conan noticed it and followed immediately.
"Brother Bai Ma!"
Conan tugged at Bai Ma Song's trouser leg.
Bai Masong was speechless when he heard Conan's call. "Kudo Shinichi, have you been small for too long? You have already adapted to it!"
Calling him "brother" all the time doesn't fit your persona as a high school detective.
However, Bai Masong didn't say much. After all, he was ten years older than Kudo Shinichi, so he deserved it.
"what happened?"
Bai Masong leaned down and asked lightly.
"Did you find any clues?"
Conan came closer and asked curiously.
Although it was a question, Conan's tone was affirmative.
This guy Bai Masong must have made a discovery, otherwise he wouldn't be running around.
"Well, I have some ideas."
Bai Masong nodded, agreeing with Conan.
"You also spotted the murderer?"
Conan asked quickly.
"Is that the guy? You should know his methods, right? The evidence should be there, but I don't know where the things he used are now."
That person, that place, those things...
Bai Masong listened to Conan's words and felt very upset.
He is really...
call!
This little kid, at such a young age, always acts as a riddle teller.
"collapse!"
Hakuba Song flicked Conan's forehead.
"Ouch!"
Conan covered his head and glared at Bai Ma Song.
"Baima, why did you hit me suddenly?!"
Bai Masong looked at Conan's painful expression, smiled slightly, and felt much better.
He said calmly,
"Next time don't be a riddle man, just say what you want to say."
Conan seemed very aggrieved when listening to Hakubamatsu's words. He and Hattori Heiji had always said this before.
Moreover, everyone is a master of reasoning, so you will understand.
The more Conan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. However, he dared not speak out and could only agree obediently.
"Oh well."
