The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 547 Mummy = Werewolf

"Wait a moment, Mr. Maori."

Shuten-doji, who had returned to the banquet hall at some point, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Kogoro Mori's thoughts.

"The murderer is not Mr. Mummy, but someone else."

"Oh?"

Kogoro Mori turned and looked at Shuten-doji.

Since Shuten-doji was holding Hakuba Matsu's face at that time, Mori Kogoro was still very convinced of him.

"White Horse, what do you mean?"

The mummy was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes when he saw that someone finally stood up to speak for him.

Finally, fortunately, the police officer in charge of this matter, Hakuba, is still a normal person, unlike the Maori detective who can't listen to anything...

"Why do you say the murderer is someone else?"

Even though Maori Kogoro changed into a vampire's outfit and attended such a unique party, he did not forget his role as the supporting actor and was very dedicated to setting up the stage for Shuten Douji.

"You have to know that there are only seven Devil Cards, and the few people who had Devil Cards at the time, that is, we were all in this banquet hall."

"Except for this Mr. Mummy, of course!"

"So, this case is very simple. Mr. Mummy took advantage of the time when we were in the bathroom and sneaked onto the deck to hide. Then he waited until the ghost captain started talking and found an opportunity to kill him with one strike!"

"Tell me, is there anything wrong with my reasoning?!"

"That's a big problem, Mr. Maori!"

Shuten-doji is different from the real Hakuba Matsu. He denied Maori Kogoro's statement with an exaggerated expression.

"If this is true, why did this mummy leave the devil cards at the scene, especially when he knew there were only seven devil cards."

"Don't mention that perverse thinking to me. It can't be used as a reference for normal reasoning!"

"But......"

Kogoro Mori wanted to say something.

However, Shuten-doji spoke even faster.

He said to everyone with a hint of sarcasm,

"Please, everyone!"

"Don't you realize that this mummy's actions are very similar to someone else's?"

"The overlap is about 99 percent!"

huh?

Looks like someone else?

When Shuten-doji said this, Kogoro Mori, Sonoko Suzuki, Medusa who seemed to know a little bit about everything before, and the mummy, were all stunned.

His (the mummy's) actions are very similar to someone's?

Is there another person who has been imitating the mummy's behavior?

"It's a werewolf."

The invisible man stepped forward at this time and explained the confusion to everyone in a calm manner.

Werewolf?

The invisible man's words made everyone subconsciously turn their attention to the werewolf who was standing aside and watching the show quietly.

The werewolf, who originally thought he was safe, took a step back unconsciously, but immediately steadied himself.

After everyone took a look, they looked away.

Then, Kogoro Mori and others began to subconsciously compare the behavior of the mummy with the behavior of the werewolf.

They found that...

"The mummy went into the bathroom, and Mr. Werewolf went into the bathroom, too,"

Shuten-doji looked at the wolf man who seemed a little uneasy with a half-smile.

"Then Mr. Mummy said he rushed out of the toilet and said he passed behind the Hunchback of Notre Dame, but the Hunchback said he didn't see him."

"As for the werewolf, Mr. Maori, when we entered the toilet, we happened to see Mr. Werewolf rushing out of the toilet in a hurry, didn't we?"

"Ah, yes."

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then nodded, and then he took over the conversation and continued to recall,

"Afterwards, the mummy said he had been in the ballroom and was right next to us."

"And the werewolves..."

"The werewolf is also in the banquet hall, and right next to us."

Suzuki Sonoko also followed up with this and spoke very excitedly.

Maori Kogoro nodded slightly, then looked at Shuten-doji.

"But, White Horse, this doesn't mean anything."

"As for the toilet matter, both of them went into the toilet, so it's normal for them to come out."

"As for everyone being in the banquet hall, that's even less of a problem."

"Almost all of us were in the banquet hall at the time. If someone was not there, that person would be more likely to be the murderer, right?"

"If the mummy was the murderer, he would definitely not say that he was not in the banquet hall!"

After Kogoro Mori finished speaking, Suzuki Sonoko, a fence-sitter, felt that his words seemed to make sense.

The werewolf felt a lot more at ease when he heard the famous detective Kogoro Mouri defending him.

However, after hearing this, Shuten-doji shook his head speechlessly, and added with a tired heart,

"You missed a detail."

"Mr. Mummy also said that Producer Fukuura once asked him to perform some unique movements."

Unique moves?

After hearing what Shuten-doji said, everyone began to unconsciously recall what the mummies had said Producer Fukuura had instructed them to do.

"I remember he seemed to say,"

Maori Kogoro frowned and tried hard to recall.

"He seemed to be saying that the producer asked him to drink..."

"Yes Yes!"

The mummy nodded hurriedly, snatched the topic that Maori Kogoro was talking about, and began to speak to everyone very sincerely.

“At that time, Producer Fukuura asked me to go drink!”

"To drink a specific drink!"

"By the way, Mr. Maori, you patted my shoulder very kindly at that time! How can you say you didn't see me?"

"Drinking, patting the shoulder..."

Kogoro Mori's face looked heavy. If everything else could be explained as coincidence, then drinking, especially the fact that he patted someone on the shoulder, seemed more private.

After all, if the mummy was the real criminal, he would not have known what happened to the werewolf without installing a bug or other surveillance equipment on the werewolf. After all, the criminal could not have been at the banquet at that time.

"So,"

Shuten-doji slowly opened his mouth.

"If we rule out the possibility that the mummy installed surveillance equipment on the werewolf."

"Then there is only one possibility, Mr. Maori. The werewolf we saw before is actually a mummy!"
