Megure and Kogoro Mori soon returned to the scene.
And Conan was circling around the piano.
"What are you looking for?" Nan Ling squatted down and watched Conan groping around under the piano flexibly.
Damn, being short actually has advantages?
"The figure I just saw seemed to be looking for something under the piano..." Conan raised his head and felt around, "Ah, I found it, it's right here!"
"Huh?" Nan Ling struggled to squeeze himself under the piano and began to regret why he had to give himself such a high height-enhancing pad.
When he was taking on the identity of Nan Ling, he was very resentful of his original height, so he made himself taller.
I didn't expect it to be a burden.
That's right, I can carry out many infiltration missions because of my body shape, so it is easier to hide...
"A hidden secret door?" Nan Ling reached in and felt around. "There's nothing there. You..."
He looked down at Conan, ready to ask him if he had any idea about this.
Then Nan Ling saw an operation that was even more magical than licking the water on the ground.
Conan picked up a little white powder scattered on the ground with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, and immediately showed a shocked expression.
Hey, don't put everything under your nose!
"What if it's poisonous?" Nan Ling grabbed Conan's wrist and said, "You better be careful."
"It's not dangerous." Conan said with certainty, "This is heroin."
Nan Ling:?
Nan Ling: ???
Nan Ling: ?????
You...this...this skill of identifying drugs with your bare hands...using only your nose, did you also learn it in Hawaii?
Nan Ling felt like he was torn apart.
"You...smelled it?" Nan Ling's voice was shaking.
Of course it was because of surprise.
"Yeah." Conan still looked like he didn't think there was anything wrong with him, "What's wrong?"
"...It's okay. You're awesome." Nan Ling praised expressionlessly.
Conan felt a chill all over his body, "Don't say such things with that expression..."
"Oh, really?" Nan Ling still had no expression and his voice was flat, "No, I think you are amazing."
Has the stimulation been so great that you have lost your expression? !
"Um... did you see who that person was before?" Conan tried to bring the subject back.
"Hmm? I see it clearly." Nan Ling came back to his senses, "It must be the village chief's secretary."
The tone is quite confident...but how can you really see the person clearly in such a dark environment?
Isn't this quite capable?
This is also a clue, but if it is him...
"If that's the case... I suspect that he and the former village chief, in collaboration with the dead pianist, smuggled this stuff." Conan rubbed the white powder on his fingers.
"Is that so?" Nan Ling seemed a little listless. "It's quite exciting."
"Your expression is completely opposite to your tone."
"What are you two talking about hiding under the piano?" Mao Lilan poked her head in. "Inspector Megure wants everyone to gather together."
…
"Inspector Megure, the photos of Mayor Kuroiwa at the scene have been developed." A policeman walked in with a stack of photos.
Conan, who was puzzled by the problem in his little notebook, saw a new clue and hurried over.
Nan Ling took this opportunity to walk to Asai Chengmi's side.
"Excuse me?" Nan Ling looked harmless.
"Eh?" Asai Narimi, who had avenged his great vengeance, was immersed in his own emotions. Hearing this, he turned to look at this unfamiliar person, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
" Ah... I want to ask you something," Nan Ling didn't want to expose his identity as the murderer right now, "Do you think the law can solve all problems?"
"Why... are you asking this suddenly?" Asai Narimi blinked in confusion.
"It's a social survey." Nan Ling lied without changing his expression.
"I see." Asai Narimi lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Of course the law is important, but there are things that cannot be solved, right?"
"You think so." Nan Ling thought for a moment, "What if you encounter such a thing yourself?"
"Me?" Asai Narimi wrung his hands nervously, "I will probably take my own actions?"
He smiled casually when he said this, "Like those dark night heroes? Ah, actually I was kidding."
Nan Ling also laughed along, "Dark Night Heroes sounds interesting. "
"Yeah?"
"Of course," Nan Ling smiled, "but what if you run into someone who doesn't like Dark Night Heroes? The kind of person who sees the law as the final answer?"
"Ah..." Asai Narimi was much more relaxed than at the beginning. "If such a person exists, he must be a very happy person, right?"
"Indeed." Nan Ling nodded in agreement, "So?"
"Well, it's a bit of a pity." Asai Narimi smiled sadly, "But I will still stick to my own beliefs."
"...I understand, but if you get caught, wouldn't it be a pity?"
"That can't be helped." Asai Narimi smiled brightly, "I don't think it's a pity. Because at least I'm on the path I chose."
Nan Ling nodded slightly.
"But if you want to leave now," Nan Ling glanced at Asai Chengshi's toes, which were now pointing towards the door, "I would advise you to wait a while. You will still have time to leave later."
"why--"
"——Officer, I already know the truth!" Kogoro Mouri's voice sounded on the radio.
"Listen for a while, this is the last scene of the drama." Nan Ling gently held Asai Chengmi's wrist.
"……good."
Conan, disguising the voice of Kogoro Mori, is explaining the smuggling of the village chief's secretary.
"…But he is not the criminal. He would not have arranged the murder scene next to the piano used for smuggling."
"So……"
"The second case that caught my attention was the murder of Kuroiwa village chief." Conan continued to output.
"Logically, the death of the deceased occurred several minutes before the discovery, but when Conan fell on the code written in blood, the code did not disappear."
"It takes about fifteen to thirty minutes for human blood to coagulate." Nan Ling said calmly, "If it were me, I would probably add some additives or something."
Asai Narumi's eyes were complicated.
"But there is only a blank space of five minutes and thirty seconds at the beginning of the tape?" Inspector Megure did a great job of supporting the actor.
"That's using rewind," Conan said, "Please look at the photo. There's a glowing button next to Mr. Kuroiwa..."
Asai Narimi lowered his head, "As expected of a famous detective..."
