Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 236 Maori Kogoro is just like that

"Inspector Megure, this is just as Miss Yingzi said, this is a case of robbery.

I think the process was roughly like this: the murderer pried open the lock of the emergency entrance on the first floor from the outside, sneaked into the building, and then climbed the stairs to the 8th floor.

When passing the stairs on the 8th floor, the murderer happened to meet Miss Mika coming out. This was beyond the murderer's expectation. Before Miss Mika could scream and cause any noise, the murderer stabbed Miss Mika to death.

After this happened, the murderer could no longer break into the house. So he had no choice but to return to the 8th floor stairs and escape outside.

Kogoro Mouri's analysis was quite smooth, and it could be said that it was done in one go. At first glance, it seemed quite plausible.

After hearing Kogoro Mouri's well-reasoned analysis, Inspector Megure recalled Kogoro Mouri's live reasoning yesterday that shocked the whole country.

Following the ideas provided by Kogoro Mori, he called a few police officers and gave them instructions.

"Okay. Let's investigate this area. And Ms. Toya, we need to collect your fingerprints. Please cooperate."

After Inspector Megure gave the police officers his orders, he was not completely influenced by Kogoro Mouri. He naturally did not let go of Toya Eiko, who needed to be investigated.

To be honest, as far as Inspector Megure is concerned, he personally thinks that Toya Eiko is more suspicious, but he can't resist the brainwashing of Kogoro Mouri's analysis and reasoning.

After all, Kogoro Mouri is a famous detective now, so he needs to be given some respect. That's why Inspector Megure arranged people and started the investigation at the same time according to Kogoro Mouri's ideas.

However, Officer Megure's action of collecting Toya Eiko's fingerprints completely angered Toya Eiko, and she questioned loudly.

"Mr. Officer, are you saying that I am also a suspect?"

This is too much. Eiko Toya didn't expect that the fat police officer would be more difficult to deal with than Kogoro Mouri.

After hearing this nonsense from Kogoro Mouri, he immediately followed her train of thought and began to think of the case as a case of robbery and accidental murder.

And this Inspector Megure actually cast a suspicious eye on her and was investigating her as well, which really made Toya Eiko feel very difficult.

So when she heard that Inspector Megure was going to collect her fingerprints, she immediately became angry and jumped up to question Inspector Megure's motives.

When she first learned that Kogoro Mouri was at the scene, she was worried that Kogoro Mouri would sabotage her actions.

Judging from the current results, Kogoro Mouri is the one who cooperates with her the most, while Inspector Megure is still skeptical and has not yet ruled out her suspicion.

The person who gave her the most headache was Fujiwara Hiroshi. That man had questioned her before the police arrived and was almost telling everyone that she was the murderer.

They said her acting was poor, that she was the first to discover the shoe prints and was highly suspicious, and they were implying something about her in their words.

Moreover, every word he said was not nonsense, but pointed directly to the key point of the case, which made her tremble with fear, as if Fujiwara Hiroshi saw through her.

That's why she just used her identity as the chairman to try to drive Fujiwara Hiroshi away. With this person around, she was afraid that her tricks would be exposed.

After all, Toya Eiko is just a fashion designer, not a criminal designer, so she thinks that the techniques she came up with are very complete and have been carefully considered.

However, when Fujiwara Hiroshi analyzed the case earlier, her words and actions were full of loopholes. She seemed too anxious and too eager to guide the direction of the case.

So her foresight became her weakness. It seemed as if she knew everything in advance and was guiding everyone.

It was precisely because of Fujiwara Hiroshi's previous questioning that she reflected on her own words and deeds, feeling that she had gone too far and knew too much.

So after Inspector Megure arrived, she no longer used the previous method of guiding the police to follow her thoughts. Instead, she answered whatever the police asked.

Instead, there was the lively guy, Kogoro Mouri, who directly became the mouthpiece for Toya Eiko, saying everything she wanted to say but was unable to.

Although Kogoro Mori's behavior undoubtedly helped her, she still despised him in her heart.

This famous detective, is this his level? He's just so-so. Even a criminal rookie like Toya Eiko could fool him.

She felt that she had worried for nothing before. Kogoro Mori was just a name in name only and was not to be feared. The person she was really afraid of was Fujiwara Hiroshi.

Ever since Inspector Megure came, he hasn't said a single word to her, including no longer revealing his previous suspicions about her.

This aspect made Toya Eiko feel very confused. She didn't believe that Fujiwara Hiroshi would not take any action at all, and she also felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.

"No, we're trying to find the suspect's fingerprints, so we need to collect yours to eliminate any interference."

Inspector Megure explained.

After hearing this answer, Toya Eiko breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she was too sensitive and overreacted. In fact, she was not afraid of investigating fingerprints because she had already wiped them before.

However, Toya Eiko thought about it and felt that this was an opportunity. She had to keep Fujiwara Hiroshi busy, otherwise Fujiwara Hiroshi would stay by her side.

It was like a poisonous snake lurking beside her, which could attack her at any time, and that would really cost her her life, so she made a quick decision and prepared to say something, but Kogoro Mouri on the side was more active.

"Ms. Eiko, basically, you will not be a suspect, don't worry." Maori Kogoro had already spoken, comforting Toya Eiko. After all, this was a routine collection by the police. Most people had not experienced it and would think that they were regarded as suspects.

"Mr. Officer, I understand. I will cooperate. But do we only need to collect my samples? Do other people also need to collect their samples?

Especially that gentleman over there with a cold expression. Of all the unfamiliar faces that appeared in the company today, he's the most suspicious."

When Toya Eiko saw that Kogoro Mori was willing to speak for her, she suddenly became proud and pointed at Fujiwara Hiroshi not far away and said to Inspector Megure.

In fact, Toya Eiko's idea was very simple. She just wanted to find something for Fujiwara Hiroshi to do through the police, so that when Fujiwara Hiroshi was dealing with police inquiries and collecting fingerprints, he would not have the opportunity to target her.

All I can say is that Toya Eiko's ideas are very silly and naive. When it comes to criminal design, she is as immature as a baby. She even took the initiative to provoke Fujiwara Hiroshi. How desperate she is.
