Chapter 168 I Know Who the Murderer Is

Seeing the familiar cover, Toju Kento's eyes burst out with hatred. He clenched his fists tightly, but still said harshly: "Irene is the only woman Sherlock recognizes. How could she laugh at Sherlock? Hiroyuki Kanaya Publishing this book with Toshiaki Fujisawa is an insult to Irene and Sherlock!! But even so, I won’t kill anyone, so don’t be kidding me!”

Nobuhiro didn't answer. Like Conan's previous reasoning, he went through the timeline and pointed out what Tojuken had done behind everyone's back during this period.

"That's not right!" Without Shi Yan's quibbles, his girlfriend retorted first, "According to your reasoning, the murderer was still the person who killed him at ten o'clock in the evening, but I have stressed many times that Yan Ren was resting in the room at that time! "

"Really?" Nobushige looked into Tojukento's eyes very seriously, "Then let me ask you again, did the rain stop when you got up at night?"

"I said I don't know when the rain will stop. Anyway, when I woke up, it was already..." Tojukento suddenly hesitated.

Nobushige chuckled and said: "It rained at two o'clock in the morning, and it was not heavy, so it was able to leave water stains on the signal tower that was put away at 2:30, and it has remained until now.

"And the reason why you think the rain stopped at that time, I'm afraid the real reason is that it didn't rain when you committed the murder at ten o'clock, right?"

This is the way humans think. They always feel that it didn’t rain at ten o’clock and it didn’t rain when we woke up in the morning, so it must have not rained in between. Just like you were playing with your phone when your parents left, and you are still playing with your phone when they come back, your parents will most likely think that you have been playing with your phone all day.

Toshiken was stunned by Nobuhiro's words. Omu Ayako looked at him in disbelief, with a strong hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"But..." Omu Ayako made her final struggle, "What about the sound of the door closing that I heard at 2:05 in the morning?"

Nobushige didn't answer, but looked at Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro sighed slightly: "Actually, I saw the door open when I passed Miss Omu's room at night, so I closed it for her."

It's also his fault that he was worried that leaving the door open would make Oki Ayako notice what he was going to do later, but he didn't expect that he would instead provide an alibi for Tojukento.

Just when the lounge seemed a little quiet due to the impact of the facts, an authentic Kansai tone suddenly broke in from the door, breaking the rare calm tonight:

"I know who the murderer is!!"

"Hey Hey hey……"

Hattori Heiji rushed into the lounge, his face full of confidence and excitement, while Conan was chasing Hattori hard on his short legs.

Really, even though he doesn’t want to be in the limelight in front of Toru Amuro at all, it’s still very annoying that Hattori Heiji takes his achievements as his own!

Hattori Heiji's excitement was poured cold water on everyone's "Are you stupid" looks as soon as he entered the door.

He looked at Nobufan in confusion and repeated, "I know who the murderer is."

"Yeah." Nobuhiro nodded patiently, "I know too."

"Ah?" Hattori Heiji felt deeply tired and on the verge of crying after a brief moment of shock.

Why did Kudo find the murderer earlier than him this time?

After the last diplomat incident, Hattori Heiji already recognized Kudo Shinichi's strength. At this time, he did not think that Kudo could be wrong at all. It was most likely that his reasoning speed was too slow.

Conan, on the other hand, didn't think much about it. He was very surprised and said: "It turns out that Brother Asano already knew that Tojuken was the murderer, but I... Brother Hattori also found evidence."

"That's enough -" Tojukento, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted loudly, "Don't bring any more evidence. I was the one who killed Hiroyuki Kanaya, I admit it!!"

Conan: "...??"

This time the murderer didn't want evidence? ? ?

Hattori Heiji immediately reacted: "You must have found some other evidence! What happened? We searched Toju Kento's room before we found the evidence, and I remember that you were just talking to Miss Iwai Hitomi before. Let’s go to the top of the building and open the signal tower. Could it be that the signal tower has any clues?”

Hattori Heiji and Conan didn't think it was an invasion of privacy to randomly enter other people's rooms and rummage around, and the others didn't seem to react at all.

Nobushige once again expressed doubts about the values ​​​​of Ke Xue's world, but he still answered Hattori Heiji's question very cooperatively: "Yes, I did identify the murderer based on the signal tower. But what evidence did you find in his room?" "

"That's it." Hattori Heiji put the found exercise book on the table. "The kid over there and I discovered that Toju Kento didn't answer the Sherlock Holmes test questions. It's very strange. If he doesn't want to participate in the final test, Why is the event coming? And if you want to participate, it is impossible not to write every question. So there is only one explanation, and that is that Tojuken knew that Hiroyuki Kanaya would die, so answering the questions was completely unnecessary."

Toru Amuro didn't care about Hattori Heiji's words. Anyway, he had already investigated this detective who was as famous as Kudo. Now he is more interested in the boy who is very keen at a young age, or in other words, he should be very interested in the parents who named their children Conan and raised their children to be like this.

In his mind, the only ones who could do such a thing seemed to be Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko.

Feeling Toru Amuro's serious gaze, Conan smiled bitterly.

Really, since you want to be in the limelight, don’t bring him with you!

However, Toru Amuro quickly shifted his attention from Conan to Nobushige.

It's not impossible... He heard that Kudo Shin had helped adults solve several cases when he was a child, and Conan looked so much like him.

And if Conan is indeed the child of Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko, or the illegitimate son of Kudo Yusaku and a woman named Edogawa, then Asano Nobushige, who has been by his side as a guardian, is very suspicious.

Toru Amuro silently raised Asano Nobushige's suspicion level by another level in the little notebook in his mind.

"Well, this matter has finally been resolved." Nobuhiro breathed deeply, "We can return to Tokyo after the police come and take the confession."

"No, it's not over yet." Hattori Heiji suddenly darkened his face.

Um?

Everyone looked at him, but Hattori Heiji turned his attention to Toru Amuro.

He said seriously: "Let's talk about you next, Mr. Amuro. What did you do when you got up at two o'clock in the morning the night before yesterday?"

Amuro Toru's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Hattori Heiji calmly and paused for two seconds before saying, "I just went to the bathroom..."

"Impossible." Hattori Heiji directly denied, "You tapped my shoulder from the right side. The right side is the stairs leading to the hall, and the bathroom is on the left, right?"

"Wait..." Toshiaki Fujisawa was confused, "So you were up late the night before yesterday?"

Hattori Heiji nodded: "Well, when I went to find Asano, I happened to meet Mr. Amuro who had just returned. Because our rooms are connected and we didn't pass by Miss Iwai, she didn't hear it."

Toru Amuro listened to Hattori Heiji's words in silence, thinking in his mind how to cover up his actions the night before.

Conan's curiosity reached its peak, and he was keenly aware that what Toru Amuro refused to say must be important, and might be related to Toru Amuro's true identity. If you follow the clues, you might be able to figure out whether he knows his identity and whether it has anything to do with Gin's organization.

"Now that Toshiken has pleaded guilty, other matters should be considered personal privacy, right?" Nobushige suddenly said.

Toru Amuro looked at him in surprise.

Nobuhiro leaned against the window, his hands casually put in his pockets, and his tone was very relaxed: "Just pretend that Amuro couldn't sleep at night and got up to look at the stars."

"..."

Not only Hattori Heiji and Conan, but also Toru Amuro, the person involved, were shocked by Nobushige's words.

Why did Asano Nobushige speak for him like this?
