Chapter 545: The Wise Maori Detective
Chapter 545: The Wise Maori Detective
Now, after seeing the incident with the mummy, Kogoro Mori immediately realized that he must not fall into the trap of reverse thinking!
The murderer must be this mummy!
"Please!"
The mummy was helpless. He spread his hands and sighed.
"Detective Maori, I'm really not the murderer!"
"And...and I don't have time to kill the captain!"
"I've been in the banquet hall the whole time! We should have been together the whole time!"
The mummy tried very hard to defend himself, and his arguments seemed to be well-reasoned.
However, the more he said this, the less Kogoro Mori believed it.
"You mean in the banquet hall?"
Maori Kogoro squinted his eyes and looked at the mummy with disdain, as if to say, "Do you think I am a fool?"
"We were also in the banquet hall, how come we didn't see you?"
"This this..........."
The mummy's voice gradually became stiff. Fortunately, his head was now wrapped in bandages, otherwise he would have broken out in a few drops of cold sweat for Kogoro Mouri to see.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The mummy said hurriedly,
"How could you not see me?"
"I was right next to you, Mr. Maori, at the time!"
The mummy said this, but Kogoro Mori still looked like he didn't believe him.
Seeing this, he changed his target and hurriedly found the Hunchback of Notre Dame to testify for him.
"Hunchback of Notre Dame, you must have seen me, right?!"
"We both went into the bathroom together! You can't say you didn't see me!"
At this point, the mummy was very sure that someone wanted to frame him. After all, it was impossible for his tarot cards to disappear without a clear reason.
Therefore, his testimony about the Hunchback of Notre Dame now urgently needs him to tell the truth.
However, the Hunchback of Notre Dame still had a dull look on his face. He said in a serious tone,
"We did go into the bathroom together."
"But,"
He looked at the mummy with a strange look.
"I didn't see you come out."
"Wha, what?!"
The mummy was stunned. He was so anxious that he stuttered and spoke quickly.
"Big brother, did you remember it wrong?"
"When I was running out, I passed behind you!"
"How come you didn't see me?!"
After he said this, he immediately looked like he had thought of something and grabbed the hunchback's hand.
"Yes, yes, I remember now!"
"Yes, someone broke the mirror, so, that's why you didn't see me!"
"Yes, yes, Detective Maori, it must be like this!"
As he spoke, he looked at Kogoro Mori with sincere eyes.
Kogoro Mori was unmoved by this and just watched the mummy perform quietly.
However, he still asked casually,
"You said someone broke that mirror?"
"Didn't your staff break the broken mirror themselves?"
"Of course not!"
The mummy denied it.
"How could we possibly break that mirror?!"
"Producer Fukuura has never given us such an order!"
The two mummies next to him also agreed, saying that what the mummy said was right.
Although the producer assigned them many tasks, he did not mention the breaking of the mirror.
After hearing this news, the mummy thought that Maori Kogoro would be a little less suspicious of him, but he didn't expect Maori Kogoro to blurt out,
"If it looks like this, then you are even more suspicious, aren't you?"
"N-Nani?!"
The mummy was completely stunned by these words.
No, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Don't you agree with what I said? Why are you still staring at me like this?
Maori Kogoro was very "patient" to answer Mr. Mummy's questions.
"Think about it, since the producer didn't ask you to break the mirror, and most people wouldn't break the mirror, then there is a possibility!"
Maori Kogoro looked wise, staring at the mummy intently.
"There is only one possibility, Mr. Mummy, that you broke it yourself!"
"As for why you broke the mirror, the reason is very simple. It was to prevent the werewolf and the Hunchback of Notre Dame who were also in the bathroom at the time from seeing you sneaking out from behind them!"
"And if they don't see you go out, they will naturally subconsciously think that you are still in the bathroom!"
"This is the alibi you left behind to kill Producer Fukuura!"
"No, it's not..."
The mummy stammered, then looked at the werewolf eagerly.
"Werewolf, werewolf, you should have seen mine, right?"
"I was right next to you at the time, and you kept howling like a wolf. I remember it all clearly!"
"I guess, I guess you and the Hunchback of Notre Dame must have discovered our identities, right? That's why you keep howling beside me. You probably want me to pay attention to you, right..."
The mummy spoke quickly and anxiously to the werewolf. He just wanted to hear someone say that he saw him at the banquet, so that he could get rid of the suspicion of going out to kill the captain.
However, the werewolf gave him a cold look.
"Excuse me, Mr. Mummy. I'm so sorry."
"I was really trying my best to perform the wolf howl, but I didn't see you."
"me......"
The mummy wanted to say something else.
However, Maori Kogoro interrupted him directly.
"Mr. Mummy, you don't have to say anything!"
"No one present here has seen you! Because you were not here at all. You were on the deck ready to assassinate Producer Fukuura there!"
Hearing what Kogoro Mori said, the mummy's face turned red, and she wanted to say something but stopped herself, but in the end she didn't say anything.
He felt that there was no way he could defend himself against this famous detective.
The mummy now thinks that this Maori detective should not be a detective, he should be a lawyer.
