Chapter 138: Naruhodo!
While talking, Kogoro Mouri tied Mr. Higashida's hands and tied them to the damaged wooden door handle.
The tied-up Mr. Higashida could only sit in front of the toilet, leaning on the wall of the compartment, with a downcast look. He really wanted to sneak away after Officer Takagi left. After all, a policeman took a group of children to go reversing the case, no matter how you look at it, it feels unreliable.
Sato Miwako was observing this Mr. Higashida, but suddenly she felt an extra finger on the back of her hand, sliding it lightly on it, Miwako immediately reacted, this is Kogoro Mouri's hand.
Miwako didn't dare to react too obviously. It was not good to be seen by Mr. Higashida, so she didn't break free.
Kogoro Mouri smiled triumphantly, and carefully handled Miwako's delicate hand.
Although she often practiced marksmanship, she did not have any calluses on it. Her palms were very well maintained, smooth and white, and felt soft to touch.
Quietly, there was a blush on Miwako's face, her purple eyes couldn't help but glance at Mouri Kogoro, and said softly: "Mouri-kun!"
Kogoro Mouri pretended not to hear her, and he didn't let go of Miwako's little hands.
Officer Takagi, who led a group of children out of the Art Museum, looked firm: Officer Sato, wait for me, I will definitely find the murderer and rescue you!
When he thought of holding the murderer and rescuing Officer Sato, and how Officer Sato look at him with admiration and then took the opportunity to ask her out, Officer Takagi couldn't help smile with happiness.
When Haibara on the side saw this guy's expression, she couldn't help but feel a little troubled. Is this police officer really reliable?
Takagi led the Juvenile Detective Team to the Izakaya. He disguised himself with a hat. Conan asked about the Izakaya owner's situation that night.
The proprietress said, "Mr. Higashida was drunk that night, and then kept saying that he would teach the woman a lesson. I didn't expect something like that to happen later."
Haibara on the side quickly asked: "Then he went back alone?"
The lady boss shook her head and whispered: "No, he went back with Mr. Kitagawa over there." She motioned to a guest holding a newspaper.
Mr. Kitagawa has a mustache and is smoking a cigarette and reading the newspaper.
Officer Takagi lowered his head and said to Conan: "That was the first witness at the crime scene. He and Mr. Higashida and Ms. Masami worked in the same company because neither Mr. Higashida nor Ms. Masami went to the company the next day. So he asked the apartment manager to open the door, and only then did he find the body."
After hearing the words of Officer Takagi, Haibara kept calm and kept asking the Izakaya proprietress for other details.
At this time, Mr. Kitagawa put out the cigarette, then put down the newspaper, took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table, and walked out of the izakaya:
"Boss, I already put the money on the table."
Upon seeing this, Officer Takagi hurriedly chased him out. He held the officer's record book and kept asking: "Mr. Kitagawa, let me take a moment of your time, can I ask you two or three questions?"
Kitagawa's eyebrows were drooping, and he didn't look at Takagi. He said impatiently, "I told the Metropolitan Police Department what I should say. One of my colleagues died and one was arrested. Now I feel very upset. Okay, please don't disturb me."
After that, he left straight away, and Conan and Haibara felt something was wrong when they saw this scene.
...
In the men's toilet on the eighth floor of the Art Museum, Kogoro Mouri and Miwako Sato interlocked, and they sat next to the toilet.
Fortunately, the toilets on the eighth floor have not been used for a long time. The cleaning staff have cleaned it every day, so it is very clean and there is no smell.
Speaking of the hygienic aspects of Japan's public places, it is very good. It is exaggerated to say that the cleaning staff even dared to lick his mouth after cleaning the toilet.
Mr. Higashida in the front turned his back to the two of them, with his head drooping, looking worried.
Kogoro Mouri rubbed Miwako's little hand with his thumb: "Miwako, in the Moon Shade Island, You said that you want to race with me. But I didn't expect that after returning to Tokyo our first date will be on the toilet and there was even a suspect beside us. Sure enough, it should be this kind of picture when the police and the detective get together, hehe..."
There was hearty laughter from Kogoro Mori. He turned to look at Miwako but saw Miwako flushed and frowning. There seemed to be water mist lingering in her purple eyes, and she kept clamping her two slender thighs from time to time.
Kogoro Mori couldn't help being surprised. Is it possible that Miwako is also a sensitive type?
However, Kogoro Mouri continued to observe and saw that Miwako seemed to be enduring something with an anxious look. He immediately understood that she wanted to go to the bathroom!
Yes, the two have been in this toilet for more than two hours.
When Mouri Kogoro saw Mr. Higashida who was an eyesore in front, he couldn't help frowning: For the sake of Miwako, I can only let you sleep.
Mouri Kogoro stood up directly, and a whip kick was directly on Higashida's neck. Higashida fainted immediately. With Mouri Kogoro's knowledge of martial arts, this force was enough to make Higashida sleep for seven or eight hours.
But Mouri Kogoro still felt unsafe and spent 3,000 points to redeem a Sleeping Talisman from his system mall.
Sleeping Talisman: It can make you sleepy after being pasted, and you can wake up after you take it off. The time is 24 hours.
Kogoro Mouri stuck this talisman on Mr. Higashida's body, and then kicked him directly out of the toilet cubicle.
Miwako Sato couldn't help exclaiming: "Mouri-kun, what are you doing!?"
"It's nothing, I just made him faint, also so as not to wait until he hears any strange noises or smells any strange smell! With him fainted, I feel more at ease." Kogoro Mouri smiled, but Miwako Sato couldn't understand what Mouri was saying.
"Moreover, I think Mr. Higashida disturbed the solitude between me and Miwako, so I took the initiative, Miwako, you won't mind it right!?" Mouri Kogoro raised Sato's left hand and kissed her.
Miwako's face was flushed again.
In fact, it's not that Kogoro Mouri can't escape, there are too many things that can be exchanged in his system mall, and the handcuffs are not broken because they are the precious relics of Miwako's father, but it is very easy to break the thick iron pipe.
It's just that he was afraid that the iron pipe would break and spew out something unspeakable. That was a sad reminder, so Kogoro Mouri suppressed his desire to escape...
Unexpectedly, after waiting, he will witness Sato's embarrassment. This is really interesting.
"Oh, Miwako, why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?" Kogoro Mouri smiled, and his right hand directly covered Miwako's melon seed face.
This little face has light makeup and is beautiful. It's something that is worthy of being the flower of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Miwako's pretty face flushed a little bit, and the heat continued to rise from her cheek.
"Wow, it's really hot. There is water mist in your eyes, Miwako, why do you look a little uncomfortable!" Kogoro Mouri kept teasing the Metropolitan Police Department Flower Girl in front of him, and his mood was invigorating.
Kogoro Mouri pretended to be inferential: "Let me speculate, Miwako, your brows are frowned, one hand keeps pressing on your lower abdomen, and your legs are clamped from time to time. As I expected, yes, you should be thinking about it. The toilet!"
Miwako immediately recalled the "strange sound, weird smell" that Kogoro Mouri had just said after knocking out Higashida.
She reacted and broke out with shame, her little face flushed almost purple, and finally, she couldn't help but cast a white look at Kogoro Mouri: "You.., I haven't seen how powerful your reasoning on a case is, but your reasoning is very good at these things."
Kogoro Mouri smiled triumphantly: "This case is very simple, no reasoning is needed! Besides, compared to Miwako, this case is not important at all!"
The gentle and magnetic voice instantly moved Miwako's heartstrings, but when she heard about the case, she worked hard to calm down and quickly asked: "This case seems not very simple, what do you think?"
"If it is true what this guy said, this secret room was really not done by him, but there are Mr. Higashida fingerprints on the doorknob, the lock, and the murder weapon. There is only the possibility, that is he is being framed. The most likely person is the one who went to drink with him that evening."
"If you lock the target, and then look for clues, it will be very simple to reverse the case. After all, there are very few people in this world who can commit perfect cases."
The light of wisdom flashed on Mouri Kogoro's face. Miwako Sato was fascinated by it.
She even forgot to urinate. She couldn't help but said, "Mouri-kun, you mean that Mr. Kitagawa, who had a drink with Mr. Higashida that night was the suspect!?"
"I have never seen this Mr. Kitagawa, but if I were to investigate, I would have started from him." Kogoro Mouri shook his head.
"No, I have to talk to Officer Takagi." Miwako quickly pulled out the phone, "Oops, the phone is dead, Mouri-kun, let me borrow your phone."
"I'm sorry, I accompanied Ran to the martial arts training ground today, and I didn't take it with me." Otherwise, I'm afraid that the beautiful Miyamoto traffic policewoman has already made several calls.
