Chapter 124 I Taught You
Everyone came to Maeda Satoshi's room.

Just as the police began their search, Conan stood on a chair, opened the French window, and brought in a strong wind.

"You little brat! What are you doing?"

Uncle Maori yelled angrily, closed the French window, and tidied his hair that was messed up by the wind.

Conan walked to the side, leaned against the window, and thought to himself: "I probably already know the configuration of this room. Mr. Jiang Yuan fell to his death from that balcony..."

"This is a closed room murder case..."

Just as Conan was thinking about the murderer's modus operandi, Officer Yokomizo's words caught his attention.

"What is this medicine?" Officer Yokomizo asked, holding a plastic sheet with pills in his hand.

"This is just an ordinary sleeping pill. I put it in my pocket because I have been suffering from insomnia recently." Sayama Akiko did not show any panic on her face. She calmly asked, "Is it not okay?"

"Let me see it too!"

Officer Yokomizo smiled and was about to say "It's okay" when Conan suddenly interrupted, ran over and took the plastic sheet from Officer Yokomizo's hand.

It has to be said that in terms of attitude towards Conan, Inspector Yokomizo is obviously friendlier than Inspector Megure.

If the person handling this case was Inspector Megure, he would never let Conan take the evidence so easily. However, Inspector Yokomizo allowed Conan to do so for Uncle Mouri's sake.

"Okay, let's check the next room."

Officer Yokomizo didn't pay any attention to Conan. After saying something, everyone headed towards other rooms.

After everyone else had left, Ze Yu smiled, looked at Conan, and said meaningfully: "Ehara Tokio fainted, someone changed his clothes and pushed him off the balcony..."

"You should understand what I mean, Conan?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded gently, put the plastic sheet in his pocket, and said solemnly: "This is a sleeping pill. Perhaps Jiang Yuan's coma is related to this."

As a famous detective, if Conan can't even understand the meaning of Ze Yu's almost explicit hint, then there's no point in continuing.

Ze Yu rubbed Conan's head with satisfaction and messed up his hairstyle, turning it into a mess, which made Conan speechless.

…………

Next, everyone investigated many rooms in succession. Although there were no specific discoveries, it was not a complete failure.

Everyone knew some gossip.

For example, Tokio Ehara and Hideko Kamijou were a divorced couple, and Tokio Ehara was a hacker.

"that……"

In Kamijou Hideko's room, Conan took out a plastic sheet containing pills from her bag. They were the same type as those of Sayama Akiko, both sleeping pills.

"What kind of pill is this?" Conan asked innocently, holding up the plastic sheet in his hand.

"Please, don't touch my things!" Kamijou Hideko walked over anxiously and snatched the plastic sheet from Conan's hand.

Conan asked, "Is this cold medicine?"

Kamijou Hideko replied, “Of course.”

"I thought it was a sleeping pill..."

Conan gave a fatal blow, and Kamijou Hideko widened her eyes in horror, as if she wanted to say something.

Uncle Maori came over and punched Conan on the head, snorting unhappily: "Stinky boy, why are you butting in on me?"

"It's so late, the child should go back to his room and sleep, don't meddle in other people's business!"

Uncle Maori grabbed Conan by the back of the collar and threw him out of the room.

Ze Yu watched this scene with a gloating smile on his face, and did not make any move to stop it. He even took out his mobile phone and took several photos of Conan who was thrown out of the door at an angle that no one could notice. "But we haven't investigated that room yet..." Conan was very anxious and wanted to resist Uncle Maori's expulsion. He quickly looked at someone in the room and cast a look for help.

Ze Yu gave a look that said 'I can't help you, so just fend for yourself', and then Conan watched himself being locked outside the door.

"Xiaoyu is still as unreliable as ever!"

Conan sighed.

…………

Half an hour later...

The police pushed open the door of the room, attracting everyone's attention, and Conan appeared again.

"Officer Yokomizo, we have already taken all the remains from the victim's room."

"There's something strange on the anti-theft lock..."

“It’s Scotch tape.”

Next, Conan put on a good show and performed a trick to prove how he locked the anti-theft lock in the room from outside the room.

The tool is very simple, just the most common transparent tape.

"I see!"

After seeing Conan's method, Officer Yokomizo was a little excited, his face flushed as he said, "As long as we use this method, this room will become a secret room!"

"I can't believe it." Uncle Maori put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head in confusion, glanced at Conan, and muttered, "You little brat, you can come up with such an idea."

"This is because..." Conan laughed dryly and touched his head. Just as he was about to casually brush it off, he was interrupted by Ze Yu who was standing next to him.

"I taught Conan." Ze Yu said calmly, without any strange expression on his face, looking calm.

It was as if the methods of committing crimes that Conan knew were really taught by him.

"So that's how it is." Uncle Maori suddenly realized and said, "I knew it. If no one teaches him, how can this kid become smart?"

Conan turned around angrily and looked at Ze Yu.

You stole my limelight!

Although he was rescued, he was not happy at all.

"Mr. Aragaki actually knows this method?" Officer Yokomizo looked over and asked expectantly, "Then do you know who the murderer is?"

"I know." Ze Yu nodded.

Conan suddenly felt a little melancholy.

He knew that Ze Yu never spoke empty words. Since Ze Yu said it himself that he knew who the murderer was, then Conan's previous efforts were in vain.

He was so close to finding out the murderer's identity, but someone else got there first. How upset he felt!

"what?!"

Officer Yokomizo was very surprised.

He just asked the question tentatively, but he didn't expect that the other party actually knew the identity of the murderer.

Even Uncle Maori cast a hesitant look and asked, "Are you reliable?"

"My reasoning should not be far from the truth." Facing Uncle Maori's suspicion, Ze Yu's attitude remained calm and he said softly, "Before I came to stay in this hotel, I once investigated. In this season, every night, the wind will blow continuously. This gust of wind is called 'Princess Wind' by the locals. It is one of the attractions here."
