The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 548 The Dumb Mummy

"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!"

Werewolf...is the mummy?

This hypothesis is very bold, but Kogoro Mori does not dare to say that it is definitely wrong.

But......

"If this is true, then how on earth was this done?"

Maori Kogoro glanced at the mummy, then at the werewolf over there, and then said to Shuten-doji in a deep voice,

"The two are dressed completely differently, and from the look of this mummy, he doesn't seem to know that he's wearing a werewolf mask."

"Mr. Maori, you forgot another key point,"

Shuten-doji is now like those high school detectives back then, confident of victory, looking superior, pointing fingers at others.

"Do you remember that Mr. Mummy and Mr. Werewolf both entered the bathroom?"

"Think about it again. If the broken mirror wasn't broken for the sake of atmosphere, then why was it broken?"

"You mean..."

When Kogoro Mori heard the tone of Shuten Doji, his brows frowned again. He felt more and more that something was wrong with this man.

Bai Masong didn't seem to use this tone before.

However, now is not the time to talk about this.

For now, we should solve the case first and then drive the boat back to the shore.

"Bingou, that's right! It's just what you think!"

Shuten-doji praised Maori Kogoro with a clever look, and then said,

"I went to the bathroom once before, so I know that there is space above and below the cubicle in the bathroom."

"So, I think this is how things should be."

"The werewolf saw the mummy enter the bathroom, and followed him and entered the stall next to him."

"Then, he poured something like hypnotic gas into the mummy's toilet cubicle through the tiny gap under the toilet."

"After he confirmed that the mummy was completely asleep, he flipped over from the space above the compartment and entered the mummy's compartment, then put his wolf-head hood on Mr. Mummy's head."

"Since both of them were wearing the same suit, at first glance you couldn't tell the difference at all."

"Besides, since Mr. Mummy's face is already covered with bandages, he shouldn't be too concerned about the limitations of his vision and face being blocked."

"Also, since the mirror outside has been broken, the mummy will not realize through the mirror that a wolf-head mask is worn on his face again."

"After the werewolf takes the devil card from the mummy, all preparations will be complete."

"After that, he just needs to wait until Mr. Mummy wakes up and ask him to help him prepare an alibi, so that he can go up on deck and prepare to assassinate the ghost captain."

"Etc., etc!"

The second supporting actor, Suzuki Sonoko, raised her hand, blinked her big eyes, and asked Shuten-doji,

"Brother Song, I have a question!"

"Exactly. The werewolf, or Mr. Mummy as you call him, came out after we entered the bathroom."

"Did he deliberately run out when a group of us came in, or did he just happen to wake up at that time?"

What Suzuki Sonoko meant was that if the mummy happened to wake up and run away at that time, then it is also possible that it happened to wake up when no one was around.

If there was no one there when he woke up, wouldn't it be impossible to prove that the werewolf was in the bathroom?

Or, if he keeps sleeping, wouldn't that be the end of him?

In that case, not only the mummy would have no alibi, but the werewolf would also have no alibi.

However, Shuten-doji smiled slightly when he heard what Suzuki Sonoko said.

"Yuanzi, you have forgotten another key clue."

"Think about it, when we entered the bathroom, before Mr. Mummy in werewolf costume came out, what other noises did we hear?"

what sound?

Suzuki Sonoko and Maori Kogoro listened to this and started to recall again.

"I see,"

Medusa thought about it for a moment, then smiled and spoke first.

"It's the howling of a wolf."

"Yes, it's the howl of a wolf."

Shuten-doji snapped his fingers again and smiled.

"I think Mr. Werewolf must have installed a remote-controlled wolf howl triggering device on the wolf head mask, and also installed a bugging device."

"He must have heard Sonoko's loud shouting in the bathroom through the eavesdropping device, and then triggered the wolf howling device."

"Because the device was located on the wolf's head, the wolf howl emitted by the device close to Mr. Mummy's head immediately scared Mr. Mummy awake."

"After waking up, Mr. Mummy thought he had accidentally fallen asleep while using the bathroom. Then he looked at his watch and realized that the show of finding the criminals was not far away. He immediately remembered the task that the producer Mr. Fukuura had given him, and he ran out of the bathroom in a panic."

"Everyone knows what happened afterwards."

"He ran to the bar and asked for a drink, poured himself a drink, and completed the task. And because mummies cannot speak, Mr. Maori repeatedly talked to the werewolf, but the werewolf did not respond."

"Then, the murder happened and the crowd was in chaos. The real werewolf who was mixed in the crowd took advantage of the chaos and tore off the wolf head mask on the mummy's head and put it on himself."

"In this way, the two changes of identity were completed without the mummy knowing anything."

As Shuten-doji's voice fell, everyone understood the whole picture of the matter.

Although this line of reasoning makes the mummy who was played with seem very stupid, it seems to coincide with the current information.

After Shuten-doji finished speaking, Maori Kogoro also transformed into Inspector Megure and looked at the werewolf with a serious face.

"Mr. Werewolf, do you have anything to say?"
