Chapter 15 Conan is here, no surprises

"Hosono! Hosono!"

"Hosono fell into the river!"

The amusement park staff's shouting stopped Xiaolan from teaching Conan a lesson, and Xiaoai also looked towards the river. Tanigawa looked at the bow on Conan's neck with greedy eyes.

"This trip to the amusement park may end just as it begins." Tanigawa said to Ai.

There were casualties, so the amusement park must be closed today. Tanigawa had really wanted to have fun for a day, but it was all because of the Grim Reaper who followed him.

Conan didn't notice Tanigawa's disdainful look, broke free from Xiaolan's hand and ran to the river.

There were people by the river recording the situation with a camera, and no staff came out to stop them.

Kamen Rider fell into the river during a high-altitude bungee jumping performance and has not been found for twenty minutes.

"Shall we go back?" Xiao Ai asked.

"You need to have more sense of social responsibility." Tanigawa looked at Ai and accused her.

Ai: ???
Social responsibility? Is it appropriate for you to say this?

"What do you want?"

"This is definitely not an accident, but a premeditated murder. I want to find the real murderer and clear the deceased's name." Tanigawa showed extraordinary qualities.

Ai said that Tanigawa must have other purposes.

"Brother Tanigawa, don't you also feel that this is an accident?" Conan came to Tanigawa and said.

"Of course." Tanigawa nodded.

Conan is here, no surprise.

"Brother Tanigawa, look there. There are burn marks on the inside of the rubber. This is undoubtedly a murder case." Conan pointed to the rubber tied to the feet of the high-altitude bungee jumping machine.

Xiaolan called Officer Megure and the police arrived at the scene quickly.

Inspector Megure checked the burnt rubber and gathered the relevant people together.

"The victim's name is Yuta Hosono, he's 28 years old. He's the founder of the HO United Theater Company. This time, he died when the rubber of a high-altitude bungee broke while he was playing the role of Kamen Ultraman." Takagi introduced the victim holding a note.

Officer Megure nodded.

"At the time of the incident, you were the one who tied rubber on the victim's feet, right?" Inspector Megure asked a man wearing a red hat.

“Yes, I will do all this work.”

"Was there anything wrong with the eraser at that time?" asked Officer Megure.

"If there was, why would I let him jump?" said Red Hat.

"Didn't Hosono die in an accident? If that's the case, why did you gather us together?" asked Okubo.

Okubo is the actor who previously played the villain role in the theater.

"No, this is obviously a murder case, and the murderer is among these people!" said Kogoro Mouri who followed the police here.

"I'm sure one of them must have a grudge against Mr. Hosono. Isn't that right, Mr. Taishima?"

"I saw that Okubo had a big argument with Hosono over the management of the troupe," said Taishima.

"Ah? Didn't you have a fight with Hosono before because you didn't pay back the money you borrowed?" Okubo immediately pointed out Taishima's conflict.

"There's nothing going on between us. By the way, Kanako, weren't you always worried about Hosono wanting to date you?" Taishima continued to reveal the conflicts between others and Hosono.

Tanigawa watched their mutual explosion with great interest. It was the first time he encountered such a scene and it was quite interesting.

Okubo, the actor who plays the villain in the Kamen Rider Theater, has a conflict with the victim over business issues.

Taidao, the man who did bungee jumping with rubber straps, had a conflict with the victim over borrowing money.

Kanako, the actress who plays the theater princess, has conflicts in relationships with men and women. She is dissatisfied with being the younger brother.

Only one person had no dispute with the victim.

Tanigawa touched his chin. There were conflicts among the four people. It was a luxurious choice of five. If you want to survive in the world of the god of death, it is very important to have good interpersonal relationships.

"I can now conclude that the murderer of Hosono is Mr. Taishima!" Kogoro Mori pointed at Taishima with confidence.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Taidao stood up excitedly.

"This rubber ring broke due to burning. You are the only one who can tamper with it."

Listening to Kogoro Mouri's analysis, Conan curled his lips and walked to Tanigawa.

"Brother Tanigawa, who do you think the murderer is?"

"It's that Ah She." Tanigawa said casually.

"What!" Conan shouted in surprise.

He investigated in many places and found the murderer after careful consideration. How did Tanigawa know the murderer's identity when he did nothing?

Conan felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, as Tanigawa's reasoning ability was not inferior to his.

Without any intention of showing off, Conan took out the videotape he borrowed from the tourist.

"This is a videotape I borrowed from a tourist. Let's take a look at the footage."

Conan gave the videotape to Inspector Megure, and then a hypnotic needle was shot into Kogoro Mouri's neck.

With a gorgeous turn, Maori Kogoro sat on the chair. Then Conan took off the bow on his clothes and began to speak in Maori Kogoro's voice.

"I already know who the real murderer is."

"Ah? Isn't Taishima the real murderer?" Inspector Megure asked while looking at the sleeping Kogoro Mouri.

"I've already told you that I'm not the murderer!"

"Before I reveal the identity of the murderer, please tell me your alibi..."

"Conan, what are you doing hiding behind the table alone?" Tanigawa pulled Conan out from behind the table, and Ai looked at Conan meaningfully.

Then he looked at Tanigawa with some worry.

Could it be that Tanigawa could notice something wrong with Conan?
If Tanigawa knew about Conan's abnormality, wouldn't he also...

Damn Kudo Shinichi, he's just a reckless bastard and he has no idea how much trouble his actions can cause!
"Brother Tanigawa?!"

Conan was dragged out and his mind was almost blurred due to nervousness.

He had clearly done this several times before, so why was he caught by Tanigawa this time?
"My bow fell to the ground and I just picked it up." Conan said with a smile.

"Really?" Tanigawa glanced at Conan with a half-smile.

Conan suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

This little episode did not attract the attention of those present, and they continued to explain their alibis.

As they talked, everyone started arguing again under Taidao's guidance.

"Okay, okay, everyone calm down and listen to what Brother Mori has to say." said Officer Megure.

After hearing what Inspector Megure said, everyone turned their attention to Kogoro Mouri, who had his back to them.

1 second, two seconds, 3 seconds... Kogoro Mori didn't speak for a long time.

Conan stood beside Tanigawa, his heart beating fast.
