After Lin Yi took over the right to speak, he immediately began to develop in the direction that Kogoro Mouri could talk about.
And what Kogoro Mouri can talk about is nothing more than those few things: wine, horse racing, Yoko Okino, and work.
Don't even think about wine and horse racing. He's only 17 years old, and it's really inappropriate to talk to him about these things.
It's not very appropriate to talk about idols when meeting, after all, he is Ran's boyfriend, and he can't leave a bad impression on the other party at the first meeting.
As for work… Kogoro Mouri's detective work over the years has been nothing more than finding cats, finding dogs, and finding mistresses, and he doesn't like to read books very much, and it is estimated that he can't even brag.
So Lin Yi had no choice but to guide him to say his previous occupation, starting from the detective aspect.
Sure enough.
Lin Yi hit the mark!
When talking about the profession of detective, Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, talking eloquently, wishing he could tell Lin Yi all his glorious deeds as a detective at that time, so that the other party would know how awesome he was at that time.
If he hadn't resigned on his own initiative later, then the current police chief's surname would be Mouri!
Originally, Lin Yi thought that Kogoro Mouri would not be able to say anything.
However, after he listened carefully, he realized that Kogoro Mouri still had some skills.
"After I led the team to the scene, the homicide scene had already been messed up… but there was no way to do it, after all, it was a nightclub, and many people had taken drugs."
"If the homicide scene is destroyed, a lot of clues will be lost..."
"The investigation work was carried out in an orderly manner, and I found those witnesses and learned the detailed process of the matter from them."
"The process of the matter is very simple. It's just that two drunkards went crazy, and then one of them killed the other."
"Things like this… are everywhere in nightclubs. At that time, we didn't take this homicide case to heart, we just thought it was an accidental homicide."
"It's just that later… I found something at the scene, which overturned my previous reasoning… Lin Yi, do you know what it is?"
Kogoro Mouri even interacted with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi thought about it seriously and said, "Did you find a death message?"
"No…" Kogoro Mouri shook his head coolly and said, "It's the murder weapon… the murder weapon is a kitchen knife. How could there be a kitchen knife in a nightclub?"
"When I saw that kitchen knife at the time, I realized that this was a vicious murder case… so I immediately went to the kitchen of the nightclub to confirm it!"
"Sure enough, that kitchen knife was not from the kitchen, but was brought by the murderer himself…"
"We tried to lock down the murderer through surveillance, but the murderer was very cunning and chose to do it in a blind spot of the surveillance…"
"Just when the police were at a loss, suddenly I smelled perfume on the deceased's clothes… the scent of a woman's perfume."
"So I immediately gathered all the women present and found more than a dozen suspects by comparing the scents of the perfumes… I had no way to judge whether the murderer was among them, after all, the scene was very chaotic at the time, and the murderer was very likely to have run away after killing someone."
"However, after committing the crime, the murderer is very likely to return to the scene of the crime again!"
Lin Yi asked cooperatively, "Why is that?"
"Because the murderer wants to confirm whether there is any evidence left, see if there is a chance to destroy the evidence, or take the initiative to act as a witness and provide false clues, so as to confuse the direction of the police investigation…"
I have to say, a serious Kogoro Mouri really looks quite handsome.
Just then, Ran came in. She was very happy to see that Lin Yi and her father could get along!
"Come, have some tea... and some freshly cut cantaloupe."
After putting down the things, Ran said, "Dinner will be ready soon, please wait a little longer."
Kogoro Mouri picked up a piece of cantaloupe and started eating it. He nodded and said, "This melon is good... very sweet, thank you for the treat."
See that?
After Kogoro Mouri's impression of Lin Yi improved, his attitude immediately changed, and he even said, "Thank you for the treat."
"You're welcome... Among the dozen or so suspects, how can you determine if the killer is among them?" Lin Yi played the role of an audience member very well, bringing the topic back.
"It's very simple." Kogoro Mouri smiled confidently. He said, "Just let the waiter and bartender identify them!"
"Since this is a vicious murder case, it means that the killer knew the deceased."
"The killer chose to strike in a blind spot of the surveillance camera, which means that the person comes here often, so they know this place is a blind spot."
"As I expected, there are indeed three women among these dozen or so suspects who knew the deceased."
"However, these three women all said that they did not have contact with the deceased tonight..."
"Unfortunately... the killer was still caught by me in the end. Do you know how I caught the killer?"
Kogoro Mouri said triumphantly.
Lin Yi guessed, "Through the fingerprints on the murder weapon?"
"There are no fingerprints on the murder weapon." Kogoro Mouri frowned, very dissatisfied, and said, "There were so many detective novels back then... it made those criminals smarter. They all wear gloves when committing crimes."
"Then... is it the perfume on their bodies?" Lin Yi guessed again.
"No... If you subdivide the perfume they spray, you can indeed distinguish the differences, but the perfume on the deceased's body is very faint, and there is no way to subdivide it." Kogoro Mouri shook his head.
After answering incorrectly twice in a row, Lin Yi felt that he had praised enough, so he shook his head and said, "Then I don't know!"
"It's the fibers inside the deceased's fingernails!"
Kogoro Mouri said triumphantly, "After the deceased was attacked, she subconsciously grabbed the killer... Although she was broken free by the killer, it was enough to tear off a little bit of clothing fiber from her clothes!"
"Oh, oh! Amazing, amazing!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Uncle Mouri, you are simply a detective! The criminal's meticulous modus operandi was seen through by you one by one!"
"Ah, keep a low profile, keep a low profile, it's all old news... I didn't even want to talk about it. If you hadn't asked, I was planning to let this murder case be sealed in the files."
Kogoro Mouri pretended to be calm, picked up the tea, and took a hearty sip.
Looking at his smug look, Lin Yi really wanted to ask him, what about the complexity behind this case that you mentioned? Why does it sound like it's not complicated at all?
Isn't this just Conan's daily murder case?
