Chapter 300 The ‘designated’ suspect
But Officer Nakai did show some interest. "Oh? I wonder if you can show me Detective Maori's reasoning skills today?"
"Yes, yes. Although I am here to attend the concert today, it would be a great honor to be able to see the reasoning of the famous detective Maori Kogoro!"
Some people around even echoed it.
Being praised so highly, Kogoro Mori felt embarrassed and had to agree shamelessly.
Conan, who was standing aside, chuckled in his heart twice, then swept his sharp eyes through the crowd, and saw a few people whose expressions changed after hearing the name of Uncle Maori.
Such a big reaction, could it be related to this case?
After everyone agreed, Kogoro Mori came to the corpse and squatted down, observing with a serious face.
Conan also took the opportunity to sneak next to the corpse.
Then he saw a wisp of cotton in the dead man's shoes, and a look of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.
Is this cotton? How did it get into my shoes?
After looking at the corpse, Conan slipped over to the chair where Blake was sitting and took a few more looks.
Based on the position of the needle hole, Conan saw a little trace of glue on the left leg of the chair.
If the needle is placed in this position in advance, it is indeed possible that the deceased will touch it.
But the problem is that there are too many uncontrollable factors in this method, and it is impossible for the murderer to be so precise that no accidents will happen.
Moreover, under what circumstances did the murderer take the needle away?
Wait, the murderer didn't necessarily put the needle on the chair leg and wait for the victim to put his foot up there.
If it was a direct attack, then the people sitting around Blake would be suspects.
When Conan thought of this, the police also brought over several people sitting next to Blake.
They are Kasuga Sadako sitting on his left, Yokoi Masato sitting on his right, and Nelson, who is also a foreigner, sitting right behind him.
Kasuga Sadako, who had her hair braided, hugged her elbows with her hands and looked indifferent. She didn't seem to care about Blake dying next to her.
Masato Yokoi, who looked like a gentleman, glanced at Kogoro Mori from time to time with a slightly flustered look.
His appearance made Conan confused, and he paid more attention to him.
Nelson seemed helpless and sad, his eyes occasionally falling on the dead Blake.
How should I put it, the behavior of these three people makes people feel that... they are quite suspicious.
"Excuse me, was my teacher really murdered?" Nelson asked Officer Nakai in a strong native accent.
"It's not clear yet, but the blood test results will be out soon, so I would like to ask you to come out in advance and experience what it feels like to be treated as a suspect." Officer Nakai said calmly with his hands folded.
Conan: ...
This police officer is really...
He looked at the three suspects "designated" by Officer Nakai and found that they all had the same plush pendant the size of a baby's fist hanging on their wrists. So he asked curiously with the innocent appearance of an elementary school student, "What is this? Do you all have it?"
Kasuga Sadako glanced at the pendant and said casually, "Oh, you mean this? This is a small gift that everyone who attends this concert can get. Why, little brother, you don't have one? Do you want me to give mine to you?"
As she spoke, she took off the pendant, then bent down slightly and handed it to Conan.
