Matsuda said in a very serious tone,
"In the country across the sea, there is a long-standing legend that if you hang up Conan on your exam, you're guaranteed to fail."
"Now I've not only hung up Conan, but I've also prayed to the gods. I'm sure I'll pass my driver's license test in a few days."
Chapter 93 Conan, please bless me so I don't fail my exams.
"Will it really work?" Xiaolan asked, still doubtful.
Meanwhile, Koshimizu, following Matsuda's example, began praying to the hanging Conan statue.
"My God, please bless me so that I can pass the national first-class civil service examination and enter the first class smoothly."
Seeing this, Xiaolan, who was standing nearby, thought about how her final exams were coming up soon.
Adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry," I also put my hands together and bowed.
"Conan, you must bless me so I can get good grades on my final exams..."
"Sister Ran..." Conan was left hanging in mid-air, on the verge of tears.
It's all that bastard Matsuda's fault!
Is this yet another new way to torment him?
"Matsuda, what are you doing?"
Megure was counting on Matsuda to quickly deduce and solve the case.
To his surprise, when he turned around, he saw that this guy was actually leading several girls in some superstitious activities, and he immediately flew into a rage.
"Get to work now!"
"Yes, Inspector, I'm coming right now!"
Finally free!
Matsuda was overjoyed, but put on a miserable face and ran to Megure's side.
Sato and Koshimizu were still glaring at each other, but since the main character had run away, the two could only snort at each other and go their separate ways.
……
"Senior, something's not right here."
Koshimizu also made a discovery and was about to report it to Matsuda when he noticed that Matsuda was staring at Takashi Matsuo, who was speaking to reporters outside the house.
"Does the senior also suspect Takashi Matsuo? Although he had a conflict of interest with the deceased, Mr. Sōbō, at the time of the incident, he was recording a program on the ninth floor, while Mr. Sōbō was on the fourth floor,"
Koshimizu glanced at her notebook, which she had specially prepared to become Matsuda's assistant.
“In terms of time, it would take at least seven minutes to quickly travel between the ninth and fourth floors, but Takashi Matsuo was only away from the program for four minutes. In terms of time, it was completely insufficient for him to commit the crime.”
"Hmph, it's not like you have to run down to kill someone," Sato sneered.
"Then, Officer Sato, could you please explain to us how the murderer shot and killed the victim on the fourth floor from the ninth floor?"
Yue Shui raised her chin and asked deliberately.
"Hmph, this... I haven't figured it out yet."
After Sato finished speaking, seeing that his momentum had weakened, he immediately glared at Matsuda with displeasure.
"What exactly happened? Have you figured it out yet?"
“No matter what, it can’t be as Officer Sato said,” Koshimizu retorted defiantly.
Seeing that the two seemed about to start arguing again, Matsuda quickly waved his hand.
"Yue Shui, you've probably really made a mistake this time."
“Miwako is right. The murderer did not come down; he killed the person directly on the ninth floor.”
"what?"
Matsuda's words made both women's eyes widen.
"Did I really guess right?"
Sato was taken aback, clearly not expecting that his offhand, made-up answer would be the correct one.
Although she guessed the answer, she still couldn't figure out the process.
"Murder on the ninth floor..."
Yue Shui looked more closely at the spot where the deceased had fallen; there was a window right next to it.
"Senior, could it be..." Yue Shui asked excitedly.
“Yes, that’s what the murderer used to kill someone on the ninth floor,” Matsuda replied.
"Hey, you two, stop talking in riddles!"
Sato, his face dark, pulled Matsuda to her side.
Who is the murderer?
"actually……"
Matsuda couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he whispered out the whole story of how he killed her.
"I see!" Sato exclaimed in realization, quickly pulling out handcuffs. "I'll go arrest him right now!"
"No!" Matsuda quickly stopped her. "That guy hasn't noticed yet. A crucial piece of evidence is on him. Let's not alarm him for now. Let's go take care of other things first."
"what's up?"
Sato and Koshimizu asked in unison, then snorted at each other in disgust.
……
In the original timeline, Kogoro Mouri used the live broadcast of this case to completely establish his reputation as the Sleeping Detective in Japan.
Now that Matsuda knows the outcome, he naturally won't give him another chance.
Matsuda went directly to Rena Mizunashi. After learning that Matsuda had identified the culprit and wanted to expose the killer publicly,
Rena Mizunashi immediately contacted the TV station's director, and the two parties quickly finalized an agreement to broadcast Matsuda's entire reasoning process live.
At the crime scene on the fourth floor, Inspector Megure, having once again failed to find Matsuda, stood there sulking with anger.
At that moment, the television screen in the room suddenly flickered.
A beautiful woman with bright blue cat eyes appeared in the picture.
"It's Rena Mizunashi!" Takagi exclaimed in surprise.
"Hello everyone, this is Nichiri TV. Not long ago, a murder occurred at Nichiri TV. Just one hour after the incident, Detective Jinpei Matsuda of the Metropolitan Police Department had already solved the modus operandi of the crime."
The scene shifts, and Matsuda appears on the screen.
He nodded and said on the screen,
"Memu Police Department, I already know who the murderer is."
"Really? Brother Matsuda?"
After asking the question instinctively, Inspector Megure realized that Matsuda wasn't in the room and probably couldn't hear him.
He was about to go up and ask when he heard Matsuda on TV actually reply.
"Of course it's true, Inspector!"
"What are you up to now, Matsuda? How can you hear me?"
Megure clung to the TV station, his face full of surprise.
"Don't get excited, Inspector, you're being broadcast live right now," Matsuda reminded him.
Megure turned his head and looked.
Sure enough, reporters and photographers had entered the room at some point and were taking pictures.
No wonder Matsuda could hear him talking even from his room on the ninth floor.
Having figured things out, Inspector Megure quickly straightened his clothes and tie, then said with a serious expression, "Matsuda-kun, could you share your thoughts on the case?"
That fatso, he moves really fast when he's on camera!
Matsuda chuckled to himself, then said,
"I will now reenact the murder method at the scene for everyone."
On TV, Matsuda turned around and asked a question.
"Miwako, are you ready?"
“I’m all set,” Sato replied.
Upon hearing Sato's reply, Matsuda turned to Megure and said,
"Inspector, please stand in front of the window at the crime scene now, stick your head out, and look up."
"Is that so?" Inspector Megure did as instructed.
"But what's the point of doing this..."
Just as Megure voiced his question, a colorful jet of water shot out from above, hitting him directly in the temple, and then splashed everywhere.
Just as Inspector Megure was about to pull his head back, something else fell from above and hit him squarely on the forehead.
Megure winced in pain and instinctively pulled back, while the object that had fallen from above also slid down the glass and into the room along with him.
Chapter 94 Give me this chance to become famous.
With a dark expression, Megure wiped the colored liquid off his face with a handkerchief while picking up the object that had just fallen from the ground.
It turned out to be a small water gun!
Looking at this scene, which was exactly the same as what they saw when they first arrived,
Megure and Mori and the others standing nearby were all stunned.
"Well, Inspector, do you understand now?" Matsuda asked on the television.
