Mouri Kogoro's Deduction

But after a month or two, once I made a name for myself, the frequency of that state began to decrease.

Moreover, he genuinely wanted to surpass Eri Kisaki in his achievements as a detective, to show her what he had accomplished.

Perhaps subconsciously, he was in such a hurry because he had this thought.

Kogoro Mouri gave Jiang Hang a grateful look.

As expected, it has to be my brother Jiang Hang.

This kind of thing might be easy to understand, but as someone involved, he couldn't understand it so easily.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's grateful expression, Jiang Hang waved his hand.

"Actually, Brother Mori, you really need to pay more attention to Queen of Lawyers. Look at you, you've only been famous for half a year, and you've already accumulated so much pressure. Think about Queen of Lawyers, how much pressure has she accumulated in order to maintain her undefeated reputation?"

Seeing the worry appear on Kogoro Mouri's face, Jiang Hang knew that his tactic of diverting attention had worked.

I'm still as kind-hearted as ever.

Jiang Hang looked at the two newly refreshed four-star commissions in his commission column and muttered to himself.

"Let Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki reconcile" and another completely opposite "Let the two of them get a complete divorce".

The fact that the system could focus on these two completely opposite goals for a four-star commission proves that completing this commission is indeed not easy.

If he were a womanizer who didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables, he would probably be overjoyed at the request and exclaim that it was authentic.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hang was a pure-hearted warrior who never intentionally sabotaged other people's relationships...

Well, the female friends in Koharu Yoshino's original story shouldn't be considered as romantic partners.

After all, in the end of the story, she abandoned all her girlfriends to explore new territory.

In short, although it's not a five-star commission, Jiang Hang wouldn't mind getting the reward of a four-star commission for free.

He even started thinking that if he could get Kaito and Aoko, and Heiji Hattori Kazuha Toyama together in advance, they might be able to get a commission too.

Moreover, Heiji Hattori's confession history is quite tumultuous; it must have required at least a five-star request.

Unfortunately, the system didn't respond. Maybe he'll have to appear in front of Heiji Hattori with similar thoughts again before this request will come up.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri lost in thought, Jiang Hang waved his hand in front of him.

"You can think about these things slowly when you get back, brother."

"Let's solve this case first. Let go of all your worries and focus on this case. Let me witness the brilliance of the Sleeping Kogoro."

Sure enough, after being provoked by Jiang Hang, Kogoro Mouri, who had been doubting himself, was suddenly full of energy again.

"That's right, Liuli is still a suspect in this case. She's a top star now, we can't let her get involved in these messy scandals!"

It seems that Amashiro Ruri, whom Koharu Yoshino called a "healing female celebrity," is actually Kogoro Mouri's former classmate.

Jiang Hang touched his chin.

I've heard that Kogoro Mouri goes into overdrive when he encounters cases involving people close to him. I've never actually seen Kogoro Mouri in his overdrive form up close. I hope Kogoro Mouri at full strength will be powerful enough.

Otherwise, he would have to use his special Tranquilizer Dart on Kogoro Mouri, doing what Conan usually likes to do.

Compared to Conan's inefficient Tranquilizer Dart that only take ten minutes to wake him up, Jiang Hang's Tranquilizer Dart are high-dose, enough to make someone sleep for seven or eight hours without even realizing it.

As Kogoro Mouri introduced his former classmate, now a big star, to Jiang Hang, the two of them walked into the villa.

Not long after he stepped through the gate, Shizuka Sakaki came over to report to him with the intelligence she had just obtained.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri right next to Jiang Hang, she hesitated for a moment.

After all, what she just asked was indeed somewhat unfriendly to Kogoro Mouri.

However, Kogoro Mouri simply waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about these things.

The previous difficulties were nothing to him, and he was insignificant. As long as he could find the truth of the case, no one would doubt him anymore.

So Shizuka Sakaki sincerely recounted the detailed events she had learned from the crew members, including what each person had said and their expressions at the time.

"During the filming of the scene where the body is discovered, the deceased suddenly asked Mr. Mori, who had not read the script, a question. He probably wanted to see if Mr. Mori could analyze the situation at the scene to figure out who the murderer was."

"Then Mr. Mori gave the wrong answer, which provoked the dead man's laughter and ridicule."

"Then he was reprimanded by Amashiro Ruri, and the two got into an argument. During the argument, he accidentally stepped on the body of the supporting actor Nobuharu Nagumo, who was playing a corpse, which escalated the conflict further. Finally, he got into a physical altercation with Nobuharu Nagumo Kasumi Hahabara, and Nobuharu Nagumo's father Akira Nagumo."

"The deceased suddenly uttered some threatening words, forcing the director to abruptly interrupt filming and have everyone rest for half an hour before resuming shooting."

Chapter 524: Chapter 520: Kogoro Mouri's Deduction

Jiang Hang looked at Shizuka Sakaki and asked her to directly state what the so-called "threatening words" the deceased had said to the crew members before his death actually were.

"Let me, the person involved, speak directly about these matters," Kogoro Mouri nodded to Jiang Hang.

During filming tonight, he was challenged by the deceased, who suddenly changed his words and demanded that he deduce the truth of the case.

Having not read the script and distracted by the presence of his beautiful old classmate on set, Kogoro Mouri naturally couldn't reveal the so-called truth.

Then he was mocked by the deceased, who said that the so-called famous detective was nothing special. Then he went on to attack Kogoro Mouri's old classmate, Amashiro Ruri, saying that she should have found some more famous stars instead of recommending such an incompetent detective to the production team.

At this point, Shizuka Sakaki added a sentence.

"Mr. Mori also forgot to mention that Kazami Yoshiki mentioned your Your Name, Jiang Hang, at that time, saying that whether it was the Sleeping Kogoro or the Eagle-Eyed Detective, they were all just empty names and could not compare to the detective he had helped design and personally played."

Hearing Shizuka Sakaki's words, Jiang Hang's lips twitched slightly.

It's one thing for you to criticize Kogoro Mouri, but why do you have to drag me into it as well?

Although he was indeed known as one of the Tokyo Twins alongside Kogoro Mouri in the first few months after he became famous, his recent involvement in cases and appearances on the news and television have made him almost as popular as Shinichi Kudo before his disappearance.

He hadn't heard the term "Gemini" for quite some time.

Now that Kazami Yoshiki is dead, Jiang Hang has no chance to do anything he wants.

After all, respect for the dead is paramount.

He muttered this to himself.

Jiang Hang continued listening to Kogoro Mouri continue.

Then, when Yoshiteru Kazami was criticizing Kogoro Mouri Kazami Yoshiki, Kogoro Mouri's old classmate stood up for him.

"I was very close to Liuli when I was in middle school, but we haven't seen each other since then. I never expected that I would be able to make a guest appearance in this TV series. It was actually Liuli who recommended me to the production team."

Amashiro Ruri's status is much higher than that of Kazami Yoshiki, an idol who was once out of fashion but easily made a comeback through luck. Therefore, her tone is naturally more intense when defending Kogoro Mouri.

During the argument, Amashiro Ruri mercilessly called Kazami Yoshiki a washed-up idol, a childish brat who gets entangled in trivial matters and can only gain satisfaction by belittling others to increase his own popularity.

Hearing these words, Jiang Hang stroked his chin.

Wasn't Amashiro Ruri supposed to be a healing-type celebrity? It turns out that these are just public personas. She's quite good at swearing, isn't she? If she swears a few more times, she could become a sharp-tongued celebrity.

Of course, according to Kogoro Mouri, it was because Amashiro Ruri cared about her old classmate that she said those things.

In short, it was Amashiro Ruri's words that completely ignited Kazami Yoshiki's anger.

Just as Amashiro Ruri said, he threw a tantrum on set, even smashing several props prepared by the crew, and in the process, he stepped on Nobuharu Nagumo, who was playing a corpse.

Then, because Nobuharu Nagumo, who was lying on the ground, subconsciously cried out, he went a step further and kicked him, saying, "How can a dead person cry out? If you're playing the role of a corpse, then do your job properly."

Then another actress Kasumi Hahabara, couldn't stand it anymore and went up to criticize Kazami Yoshiki too far.

Kazami Yoshiki then brought up Kasumi Hahabara's past scandals in front of everyone, and even mentioned whether she was now planning to get involved with Nobuharu Nagumo, a third-rate actor.

Next is Nobuharu Nagumo's father, Akira Nagumo, a relatively well-known veteran actor in the industry. Although he has never played a leading role, he has played major supporting roles in many works and is considered a highly regarded supporting actor.

Seeing his son being stepped on, he grabbed Kazami Yoshiki by the collar, telling him to show some respect for others.

As a result, Kazami Yoshiki, who was grabbed by the collar, directly revealed to Nobuharu Nagumo that after joining the film crew, the old man, Akira Nagumo, had been having a rendezvous with a lover much older than him almost every night, and that he already had some clues about the lover's identity.

After mocking the actors in the crew, he also said that if they didn't have eyes, he would spread all the gossip.

It wasn't until this point that the director of the film crew finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Even if Kazami Yoshiki's father is an investor, he shouldn't act like this.

We're all celebrities, and everyone who's gotten this far has some secrets they can't hide. If this guy really exposes all of these things, then no one will be willing to make a cameo appearance in this show that relies on celebrity cameos to gain attention.

After all, who would be willing to do something like this—just a cameo appearance here only to have their negative news exposed?

So they had the staff pull the actors apart, and then let the crew rest for a while before resuming filming.

Kazami Yoshiki, with a villainous expression, uttered the classic, brainless villainous line, "Think about how you got this job, and figure out how you should talk to me," before going to his lounge to sleep.

After listening to Kogoro Mouri's explanation, and with Shizuka Sakaki's additions, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh slightly, saying that the deceased this time did seem to have really gone too far in courting death.

He would come online and start criticizing anyone he didn't like, and even Jiang Hang was affected.

If a real conflict arises, they directly use someone else's secret as leverage to force the other party to back down.

In the Conan series, these actions are like giving someone their final declaration, no wonder they die such a tragic death.

After hearing the full story, Jiang Hang understood what had happened.

Leaving aside Kogoro Mouri, who, although he had a motive, could not possibly be the murderer.

Kazami Yoshiki attempted to attack Amashiro Ruri, then proceeded to mock Nobuharu Nagumo, Kasumi Hahabara, and Akira Nagumo in turn, before finally being killed by having his throat slit with considerable ferocity.

The body was eventually discovered at the crime scene by Amashiro Ruri.

All four individuals mentioned above are potential suspects, and Amashiro Ruri, who discovered the body, is currently the most likely suspect.

At this point, the most suspicious person can usually be eliminated.

However, considering that she is also Kogoro Mouri's classmate, the suspicions surrounding her cannot be cleared yet.

After all, there have been cases before where Kogoro Mouri attended a class reunion, only to find that his former classmates had become murderers after a case occurred.

"However, that guy is indeed one of the investors in this production team, which is why he knows so much inside information."

Kogoro Mouri spread his hands, indicating that this was all that had happened.

"What did you do while the crew stopped filming?" Jiang Hang nodded, then asked another question.

"After that, I chatted with Liuli for a while. She comforted me and we talked about our middle school days for about twenty minutes."

"As the break was about to end, the snow outside started to fall harder, so she called a group of people out to look at the snow again."

"So how did she end up at the crime scene?" Jiang Hang keenly noticed this question.

Kogoro Mouri seemed somewhat reluctant to discuss this topic, but after hesitating for a moment, he told the truth.

"According to Ruri herself, after she called us all out to see the snow, she felt that she might have isolated Kazami Yoshiki too much. In order to prevent Kazami Yoshiki from continuing to go crazy, she decided to go Kazami Yoshiki and ask him if he wanted to go out to see the snow together."

To her surprise, when she opened the door, she found Kazami Yoshiki lying on the sofa covered in blood. She screamed, attracting everyone's attention.

The reason given by Kogoro Mouri is indeed quite subtle.

Judging from Amashiro Ruri's attitude towards Kazami Yoshiki on set, she had just severely criticized his unreasonable behavior, but now she took the initiative to ask him to go see the snow together. In just half an hour, her behavior was too inconsistent.

Kogoro Mouri wanted to make amends for his female classmate.

"After all, Liuli is a healing-type celebrity. In order to make the audience feel healing, she must adjust her own mood as quickly as possible, right?"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri struggling to come up with an excuse, Jiang Hang felt that it was not as good as the reason he had just used to comfort Kogoro Mouri by saying that he was under too much pressure.

However, Jiang Hang didn't pay any attention to it, and instead asked Kogoro Mouri what he was thinking.

"So, among the four people who had arguments with the deceased before their death, who do you think is most likely to be the murderer?"

Jiang Hang looked at Shizuka Sakaki, Shizuka Sakaki then added her own comment.

"Although many crew members were called out by Miss Liuli to see the snow at that time, none of the four of them had a clear alibi half an hour before the incident."

According to their explanation, apart from Amashiro Ruri, the other three were either memorizing their lines or resting with their eyes closed in their rooms at the time.

When Jiang Hang asked him this question, Kogoro Mouri thought about it seriously for a while.

"I still think it's unlikely that Liuli is the culprit."

His tone was more firm this time.

It seems that his actions weren't based on trust in his classmate, but rather on some genuine considerations of his own.

"As I just told you, after filming stopped, I chatted with Ruri until the last five or six minutes when she left my side to go find Kazami Yoshiki."

"Based on the calculations, she probably only had less than 5 minutes to commit the crime."

"To find the murder weapon, kill Kazami Yoshiki, and then hide it so that the police still haven't found it within 5 minutes is a bit too short a time."

Jiang Hang nodded, thinking that although Kogoro Mouri's statement wasn't entirely accurate, five minutes was indeed not enough time for an ordinary person to handle such matters.
