Upon hearing this, the real estate agent heaved a sigh of relief, then came back to his senses, as if remembering something, and said, "I remember now, Detective Maori, you are known as the Cleanser. It is said that your stand-in can absolutely clear others of suspicion. Then, could this light on me be the legendary light of innocence..."
Maori Kogoro laughed three times: "My name as the Cleanser is indeed related to my Stand ability, but it is mainly because I can completely clear the suspect of the crime through careful reasoning. This is the origin of the name, and the light on you is the protection I give you, which can further demonstrate your identity as an innocent person. Even Inspector Megure recognizes this..."
However, Conan keenly noticed the embarrassment in Mouri Kogoro's laughter. It was obvious that his words were not sincere. Then Conan reasoned a little and felt that Mouri Kogoro's stand ability might be able to point out someone who was definitely not the murderer!
In fact, it's almost the same even if it doesn't work. The ability of Maori Kogoro's stand, [Confused Bottle], is called "Confused Identification". Its ability is very simple "Through a random reasoning, forcibly designate the suspect of the case. Only non-murderers can pass, and those who pass can obtain the protection of innocence..."
Thanks to this stand-in, Kogoro Mouri has become famous recently, mainly because Inspector Megure likes to call him to solve any case recently.
The reason is not complicated. No one would refuse a stand ability transmitter that can eliminate a suspect 100%. If you are lucky enough to identify the criminal at the beginning, it would be a super surprise.
I don't know if it's luck or something else, but ever since Kogoro Mouri figured out the ability of his Stand, he has never identified the murderer on the spot with just one shot.
But no matter what, Kogoro Mori deserves the title of the Sinner.
Conan remained silent. In fact, in his opinion, this real estate agent was extremely suspicious. Not only did he have a sufficient motive for committing a crime, and his excited and pleased look when he glanced at the victim inadvertently, there were other points. For example, after the real estate agent came in, he inadvertently showed his familiarity with the office.
Conan walked over and asked innocently, "Uncle, you seem to be very familiar with this office..."
The real estate agent's face twitched when he heard this: "Indeed, I am familiar with this office. Then one day, because I refused to cooperate with layoffs, the president kicked me out and replaced me with someone who was willing to cooperate..."
If the motive for a crime is a BUFF, then this real estate agent should have almost had all of his BUFFs stacked up. No matter how you look at it, he should have launched a powerful attack on the president.
Conan pretended to be innocent and asked, "Uncle, you just said you have an alibi, I'm curious..."
But before Conan could ask, Maori Kogoro knocked him on the head and then picked him up: "He is not the murderer, why are you asking so many questions?"
Conan was naturally a little unwilling. At this time, the real estate agent also said in a nonchalant tone:
"That's fine. Although you, the exonerator, have confirmed it, it would be better if there was more evidence. The day before the incident, I was drinking at the bar. I had been drinking since yesterday until just before I teleported here. The store was monitored the entire time, and I was there the entire time, except for a short time to go to the bathroom."
You've been drinking for so long, but you're not drunk, not even tipsy?
Conan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized that this was a somewhat deliberate and unnatural alibi, or in other words, it was a deliberate act to leave evidence.
Afterwards, Conan remembered the information contained in the glow stick, which said that the beasts of the 666 Legion had a special crime style. At that time, Conan didn't understand it, but at this moment, Conan had an idea and then fell to the ground.
After getting up, Conan looked behind him with a grin, and sure enough, another ray of materialized light hit him hard on the forehead.
Maori Kogoro noticed this and said, "This is strange. Aren't the aura sticks rarely appear? Why is there another one? Or do you have a special physique that makes you prone to this kind of thing?"
Maori Kogoro walked over, picked up the spiritual stick, and then felt the information contained in it, and then muttered:
"The Legion of Six-Six-Six Beasts believes that only by sharing sins with each other can they build the highest respect for the great existence as a group, as a crowd, as the six-six-six beasts. What does this mean..."
After hearing this, Conan immediately understood that this was an exchange crime.
132. There is only one truth (alternative version)
The murderer should have been the real estate agent. He had both the motive and the conditions to commit the crime. However, through the medium of the Legion of Six-Six-Six Beasts, he only provided information, and then others committed the murder on his behalf.
Conan turned his head and saw that, as expected, when Kogoro Mouri recited this information, the real estate agent looked embarrassed and seemed a little shaken, but then he calmed down. It was obvious that he was prepared.
When Conan saw this, he guessed that the Legion of Six Six Six Beasts must have given them special instructions or training before carrying out the exchange crime.
As long as he insists that he knows nothing and relies on his alibi, then this case has nothing to do with him.
Conan now understands why the mystery of this case is so huge. It is not because of the criminal methods, but because of the form of crime.
Friends who often commit crimes should know that in conventional cases, both the police and detectives basically start their investigation from the network of relationships around the victim, and facts have also proved that this is effective. More than 80% of the cases are basically committed by people within one's own social circle.
After all, those roaming criminals are not familiar with the victims and cannot figure out many things.
There are very distinct characteristics between random crimes and premeditated crimes, and the power of exchange crime lies in the fact that it presents premeditated crimes in the form of random crimes.
When a crime is committed in this way, it is easy for the police to find that after a thorough investigation, they have identified the person with the greatest motive and suspicion, only to find that his alibi is impeccable. Or, after a thorough investigation, they think someone is the murderer, but find that his network of relationships with the victim has no overlap at all, and that he does not meet the basic conditions for murder.
Although he understood this, Conan still found it extremely difficult because he had never encountered such a case before!
In the past, the criminals he faced, even if they were wealthy, basically committed the crimes themselves and would not let others do it for them.
In other words, Conan had never dealt with serious gang crimes before. The only time was the siege at the winery. Although the siege was large-scale, it did not require much technical skills. Basically, the whole family, young and old, attacked at once.
In a hurry, the only way Conan could think of was to persuade the police to detain the mystery enthusiast and then keep a close eye on the real estate agent, because according to the principle of exchange crime, the real estate agent would definitely commit crimes for others.
But Conan then came to his senses and realized that the biggest problem with this method was time!
According to Japan's judicial system that favors procedural justice, even if this mystery enthusiast is detained, if no solid evidence is found at the scene, as long as he finds a decent lawyer, it is easy for him to get away with the crime on the grounds that the motive for the crime is unclear and the basic conditions for murder are not met.
If the Legion of Six-Six-Six Beasts notices that the mystery enthusiast has been detained and temporarily postpones the case that the real estate agent must handle, the situation will be very troublesome. Just waiting quietly for a few months will be enough to wear out the patience of the Japanese police. After all, the police have limited manpower and do not have much time to squat at the door of the real estate agent's house every day to watch and look for possible breakthroughs.
Although he felt the situation was difficult, Conan became more motivated and his detective spirit burned brightly.
In the past, this form of crime exchange was actually difficult to appear, because it was a cheap mutual aid version of hiring a killer, and it definitely required a strong middle link to coordinate and ensure enforcement. Otherwise, if one party committed a crime, the other party would simply not go, which would be very funny. Generally speaking, even if there was such a strong middle link, there was no need to do such a troublesome thing. Wouldn't it be better to just set up a killer intermediary platform?
It is in this age of stand that, relying on the convenience of stand abilities and the low and extraordinary cost of crime, criminal associations such as the Legion of Six-Six-Six Beasts, which are based on the style of crime exchange, have room to be born and grow.
But this is both his success and his failure. Conan feels that in this era of the great stand in the sixth world line, there must be corresponding methods of investigation and solving cases.
Conan's understanding is also well-founded. A confused detective like Kogoro Mouri can also play an extremely powerful role through his stand ability. Others, especially his younger brother, Inspector Megure, who has been running around various crime scenes for decades and has recently become famous, must be more capable.
But before that, Conan still has to find a way to convey the information he knows!
Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri, who was holding the magic stick and thinking hard, and then wandering around the crime scene trying to find some clues. He was thinking about how to communicate with him, but at this moment, the office suddenly shook.
Conan turned his head and saw that outside the office window, the fog of crime was becoming more and more turbulent, sweeping like a wave. Faintly, the sound of fierce fighting echoed. Kogoro Mouri's expression changed and he rushed out.
Pushing the door open, I saw a giant spider surrounded by black fog, which was becoming more and more terrifying. It was constantly fighting with Inspector Megure's stand. The battle was extremely fierce. Both sides didn't even take the main path, but directly crashed down the wall and came in from the other side.
After a long battle, Inspector Megure was already covered in wounds and looked a little depressed. When he saw Maori Kogoro appear, he quickly shouted, "Brother Maori, have you found any clues?"
Maori Kogoro waved his hands suddenly and shouted: "Found it!"
Conan suddenly cried out inwardly, "Oh no!", because what Kogoro Mouri was waving in his hand was actually the "suicide note" that had been placed on the desk!
The power of the crime fog barrier, through this prop, formed a strange interference force, demonstrating its own existence, and Kogoro Mouri didn't know when he was caught.
Inspector Megure shouted, "What's the clue?"
Maori Kogoro said: "The victim had killed someone due to workplace bullying before, and now he felt guilty and hanged himself..."
The next moment, strange and indescribable ripples spread from the suicide note. In Conan's sight, the visibility of the surrounding scenery suddenly dropped by more than one level, as if the light was swallowed up by an invisible force.
The huge black spider let out a strange laugh at this moment, and its figure became somewhat unreal.
A certain mysterious power spread in everyone's heart, even Conan was no exception. At this moment, in his mind, the conclusion that the executive hanged himself because he had a change of heart became extremely strong and clear, as if it was the only and unquestionable truth.
Officer Megure looked a little drowsy, but the drowsiness did not last long. He then pulled himself together and said, "It turned out to be suicide? Well, the cause of death of one victim has been found out, and the substitute of the criminal has been weakened by the clues. Brother Mori, you did a good job. Keep going..."
"Inspector Megure, be careful. You've fallen into a trap. This is not suicide. The murderer's stand has not been weakened, but strengthened."
Perhaps because some truths had been uncovered before, Conan was still able to resist the false cognition. At the same time, he also noticed that the big spider becoming illusory did not mean that the big spider was weakened.
On the contrary, the giant spider with an illusory figure seemed to have merged with the surrounding criminal fog and became far more powerful than before, and couldn't help but warn out loud.
Inspector Megure did not question it because the evidence soon appeared. The big spider suddenly waved his hand and slashed with powerful force. Inspector Megure and his stand were blown away and hit the wall directly.
Officer Megure finally came to his senses: "The clue that Maori found was actually a trick you set up?"
The spider substitute laughed strangely and said, "What's the point of knowing this? When the tricks I set are revealed one by one, the direction of your investigation will be completely misguided, and all the truth will be completely blocked. You will forget everything, and the tricks I gave you are the only true conclusion. So, you might as well accept your fate honestly. By the way, Officer Megure, you and that Detective Maori are not as strong as I thought. Could it be that the cases you solved before were actually false cases whose truth was blocked by the fog of crime?"
Inspector Megure's expression suddenly changed at this moment, and there was anger in his eyes!
Because what Big Spider said was an accusation that all the cases he had investigated in the past were a bunch of false and wrongful convictions.
But Inspector Megure was not interested in refuting with words. He glanced at Maori Kogoro, then perked up and shouted:
"Brother Maori, I didn't expect that although you didn't find the correct clue, you found something more powerful. Hurry up and throw the light stick to me..."
The spider stand-in only then discovered that Maori Kogoro was holding two aura sticks, and then he looked surprised: "Aura stick, what is this?"
Maori Kogoro hurriedly threw the light stick over, and when Inspector Megure took it, he immediately became nervous:
"Humph, a low-class criminal like you certainly wouldn't know. You thought that you were in the crime fog barrier, and everything was on the side of the criminals. But you didn't know that the truth you wanted to bury and seal was also a kind of power. It would not easily succumb to darkness and crime. In the dark, it would use various means to bring down enlightenment and become a sharp blade that would tear apart the fog..."
After a pause, Inspector Megure continued:
"Your true identity is a member of the Six-Six-Six Beasts Legion!"
His identity was exposed, and the fog of crime suddenly stopped, its upward momentum being interrupted. However, Big Spider still insisted:
"Just knowing this is useless. Our 666 Beast Corps is managed in a flat and secretive manner. Except for the most mysterious leader of the group, no one knows my true identity. And knowing my power affiliation will not help solve the case at all..."
Inspector Megure snorted coldly: "Useless? That's just because you don't know the real use of the spirit stick. Let me show you why I am called the Brother Hero..."
Inspector Megure squeezed the stick suddenly, and it was shattered into pieces, turning into countless streams of light that merged into his stand.
"The greatest function of the aura stick that contains the power of truth and enlightenment is not the information contained inside, but to stimulate the Stand and allow it to enter a super-explosive state. At this stage, the Stand's ability will be greatly improved. My Stand's ability was originally only able to imitate the Stand abilities of my brothers to a certain extent, but in this super-explosive state, it allows me to go a step further..."
In the original work, the detective had a flash of inspiration and immediately found the key to the puzzle. The meaning behind this was essentially an explosive leap in luck. Now, in today's era, this point is presented in a more intuitive way, and it even exerts a power far beyond the past.
Inspector Megure's momentum became more and more fierce. Big Spider was a little afraid, but soon became fierce again: "What if I go one step further? I am invincible in the fog of crime!!!"
"Invincible, that's because you haven't seen my strongest brother yet. Come out, brother Kudo Shinichi..."
Inspector Megure shouted, and the stand behind him suddenly glowed with light, disintegrated into countless crystals, and then reassembled frantically. Finally, it reassembled into a majestic human figure. Seeing this, the big spider was suddenly stunned:
"What, you can actually summon the Stand Ancestor Kudo Shinichi!? Hey, Officer Megure, it's normal for the leader of our army to face this kind of treatment. Isn't it a bit too much to use it on me?"
Conan was also stunned at this moment. He didn't expect that Inspector Megure could actually summon him through a stand!
Although the figure was a little blurry, its appearance, clothing, and expression were exactly the same as his own in the past. If it were any other time, Conan would definitely think that someone had made a wax figure of himself.
Of course, there are still differences. When Conan asked himself if he was at his most proud, he was never as arrogant as Kudo Shinichi, who was summoned by Inspector Megure through his stand. He was really cool and domineering, and his arrogance was the most prominent.
Officer Megure shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, Kudo brother, come on, let this low-class criminal see your unrivaled reasoning skills!"
At Inspector Megure's command, the summoned Kudo Shinichi stand suddenly moved, stretched out his hand and pointed at the big spider stand:
"there is only one truth!"
In an instant, in the perception of the onlookers and even Conan, the world seemed to have changed. With Kudo Shinichi's finger, the heaven and earth seemed to be constantly collapsing, turning into infinite pressure, pressing on the big spider.
At this moment, he has been locked in and has nowhere to escape!
Then, Kudo Shinichi's substitute suddenly jumped out, almost teleported, and kicked out with a whip kick.
The big spider had nowhere to hide and was kicked hard. Half of its body was almost blown up. The power of the kick continued through the big spider's body, blowing up at least a quarter of the scattered corridors and even the diffuse fog of crime.
"You are the murderer..."
After another sentence, Kudo Shinichi's stand-in kicked out again, and the big spider rolled in the air while spitting blood crazily, like a football, and fell heavily in the distance. The power of its legs was still endless, and it blew up another quarter of the corridor and the crime fog.
After these two kicks, Kudo Shinichi's stand slowly disappeared and returned to its original form. Inspector Megure seemed to have consumed a lot of energy, but he still panted and said:
"Although my Stand ability is still not enough to fully summon Brother Kudo Shinichi, even so, you, a low-level criminal, have also witnessed Brother Kudo Shinichi's world-famous reasoning!"
The big spider did not answer, because he was lying on the ground spitting blood, looking like he was half dead, but when Conan saw this scene, he just wanted to say, Officer Megure, did you have any strange stereotypes about me, Kudo Shinichi?
I, Kudo Shinichi, am not the bad guy who would shout that there is only one truth while performing moves like the God of War Kick on the criminal and then use this to conduct physical reasoning on the criminal.
Apologize to Kudo Shinichi, now, immediately!
But Conan also did not deny that Inspector Megure, the chivalrous brother, was indeed very valuable. After summoning Kudo Shinichi's substitute and kicking him twice, the whole case underwent a drastic change.
The prisoner's stand-in was kicked half to death, and even the entire case was kicked away in half!
The crime fog that had thinned by half was not just a reduction in concentration, but it had directly changed from a tsunami-like upward momentum to a lingering downward momentum.
The chaotic corridors and murderous doors around them collapsed one after another. This was the result that the crime barrier could no longer be maintained. Returning to the original floor, everyone present felt the pressure dropped drastically. The aura and strength of the big spider that had originally stepped into the B-level field plummeted, and no one knew to what level it had fallen to.
What's even more terrifying is that Inspector Megure is holding a magic wand in his hand, and he looks like he may summon his brother Kudo Shinichi at any time to kick the criminal twice.
However, Inspector Megure did not do so in the end, because if he did it again, the criminal might die on the spot at any time.
"Show your true identity and surrender. This is my last warning. Otherwise, I will continue to attack you. But by then, your life will be like a candle in the wind..."
For detectives, the only way to solve a case may be to find the truth, but this is not the case for the police. Although the truth has not been uncovered yet, they have the legitimate power to use force to beat the criminal half to death, and then arrest him and listen to his confession, which can also solve the problem.
"Damn it, damn it. I was so close to success, but I met Kudo Shinichi. Is this my fate? No, I will never give in. I can continue. Even if I have to pay a price, I will continue..."
Although the big spider was spitting out blood, it was still roaring ferociously. But at this moment, the reasoning enthusiast (!?) appeared. He stood in front of the big spider, holding a piece of debris in his hand.
"The criminal turned out to be you. Well, if you have anything to say, come back to the police station with me..."
Inspector Megure shouted, but at this moment, Conan's pupils shrank because he sensed an extremely familiar feeling from the fragment held in the hand of the mystery enthusiast (!?).
Moriarty's power is concentrated in it.
"Great Being, please look at me. I will offer you everything and please you with this crime..."
The mystery lover shouted, and then the fragments in his hand burst into an evil light. The big spider substitute suddenly collapsed, and along with the crime fog, it flowed towards his body. Gradually, his body gradually transformed from a human body into an alienated black outline.
At this moment, a gentle laugh was heard from a higher dimension:
"Oh, interesting. So in the new world line, my body exists in the world in the form of fragments?"
133. When I woke up, I found that the broken jade was actually me
