Chapter 189 Conan, You're Still Small
Mori Kogoro and others went upstairs, and were startled by the situation.
"Ran, hurry, Call the police!"
Police had received Emergency Call before, and were just preparing to search for the Thug who had been thrown out by the Door Panel, when they heard that something happened here again, and arrived quickly.
Inspector Megure arrived with his team, Chi Feichei had just finished treating the Injury on his Arm.
The arm of his white Shirt was torn, Blood stained a large area red, looking shocking, but it was not very serious, just a cut, simple cleaning, hemostasis, and bandaging would be enough.
Conan told Inspector Megure about the Situation at that time.
"Oh? The Sword fell from the Chandelier?" Inspector Megure looked up at the Chandelier, and then looked at the Sword nailed to the Floor and the Blood next to it, "It really was dangerous, if you hadn't Dodged in time, it would have been dangerous if it pierced your Body..."
"It's not just that, Inspector Megure," Conan pointed to the fallen Piano Bench, "At that time, the Tuning Fork was pressed underneath, Brother Chi went around to pick it up between the bench and the Piano, the space to Dodge was very small."
"This Sword was originally in the hands of the Bronze Statue, right?" Inspector Megure said, "Then, this is a Murder Trap deliberately set up for Murder!"
On the side, Kana Miho hid behind Yoshinori Kana, her Face was ugly.
Finished, her Plan was completely ruined...
"But, who would want to Murder Hassashi this kid?" Mori Kogoro pondered for a moment, with a look of sudden realization, "I know! It must be the Thug who was smashed away by the Door Panel, he actually didn't fall off the Cliff, and sneaked back into the Home, hiding somewhere all along, seeking revenge on Hassashi!"
Chi Feichei had just bandaged himself and put on his Coat, and was Silence upon hearing this.
Criminal's best friend - Mori Kogoro!
"But," Conan reminded, "How would the Thug know that Brother Chi would come to this Room, and would also touch the Piano? If it was aimed at Brother Chi, if he didn't come over, or if someone else arrived here before him, wouldn't it be someone else who died?"
"This..." Mori Kogoro was immediately choked.
"At that time, Mr. Chi suddenly proposed to borrow the Piano Room," Yoshinori Kana said.
Gerald Tenma also said, "Originally I was going to use the Piano, if it wasn't for Mr. Chi, I think it would be me lying there, I don't have such good skills to Dodge the falling Sword."
Mori Kogoro pondered, "In other words, the Culprit is actually targeting Mr. Gerald? Who would do this?"
Conan wandered around the Room, if he had seen the Situation at that time with his own eyes, and he still couldn't solve the Method, it would be too embarrassing for the name of Famous Detective.
Moreover, Gerald Tenma came to the Piano Room, also because Kana Miho proposed to listen to Gerald Tenma sing Song, plus Kana Miho's Subtle Move before, and the Relationship between the two, the Culprit is already very clear.
Even the Evidence, after knowing the Method, he also easily found it under the Piano lid.
But...
Conan was not in a hurry to use Anesthetic Needle on Mori Kogoro, taking advantage of others' inattention, he went to the Sofa, looked up at Chi Feichei who was sitting calmly on the Sofa, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what you said... it's not just because Madam Meifang cheated on two boats and you disliked her, there's something else, is it referring to Madam Meifang wanting to Murder? You knew it long ago?"
"No, yes," Chi Feichei answered two questions.
He didn't dislike Kana Miho because she wanted to Murder, he couldn't accept Murder, and his hands might not be clean either.
As For knowing... he did know it long ago.
"You came in one step ahead of Mr. Tenma, just to prevent him from being Murdered, right?" Conan looked up at Chi Feichei, his Face a little ugly, "You clearly knew there would be a dangerous Trap inside, why weren't you more careful?"
"You want to ask if I was Intentionally injured, right?" Chi Feichei saw through him.
Conan was Silence, he didn't think Chi Feichei would know what the Trap inside was, but Chi Feichei was not a reckless Human, knowing there was a Trap, he should Report to Police or carefully Inspection, instead of messing with the Things inside.
If Chi Feichei was unaware, it was really dangerous.
If Chi Feichei was Intentionally injured, it should be because of disgust, wanting to injure Oneself, to pursue Kana Miho's Responsibility...
But it's still very dangerous, okay!
Chi Feichei did not answer, but instead said, "Conan, do you know there is a word called White Lotus?"
Conan was puzzled, "White Lotus?"
"Desire to get Man's love, pretending to be weak and innocent on the surface, but actually sinister in heart, dressing Oneself up as a victim," Chi Feichei calmly said softly, "If White Lotus is just for loving a Person, then I wouldn't dislike it, but, if it's for capturing Men, self-satisfaction?"
Conan was stunned, half-moon eyes, "I say, do you Fellow have Germophobia of Emotion?"
"Ten years ago, Madam Meifang cheated on two boats, separated from Mr. Gerald for some Reason, and then married Mr. Yoshinori," Chi Feichei was not in a hurry to answer Conan's Problem, and continued, "Her cheating on two boats has nothing to do with me, I don't mind it, but, do you know what's going on with Mr. Yoshinori and Mr. Hideki?"
Conan became a little curious, "Does Mr. Hideki really like his own sister-in-law?"
"You can ask, Madam Meifang should have Said to Mr. Hideki... no, it should be with a Face of Grievance and pity, saying that Mr. Yoshinori and Secretary Miss Tokudaiji are unclear, she doesn't know what to do, etc., disguising Oneself as a weak Person, and at that time, Mr. Yoshinori and Miss Tokudaiji probably didn't have any special Relationship." Chi Feichei said.
"So in Mr. Hideki's eyes, his Elder Brother is a Fellow who married a good Wife but doesn't know how to cherish her, his sister-in-law is a pitiful and weak Woman, who needs care and protection.
As for Mr. Yoshinori, Madam Meifang has always been a gentle and considerate Wife, but, Mr. Hideki is no longer his lovely younger brother, but a hateful Fellow who covets his sister-in-law.
Even, the Rumors of Mr. Yoshinori and Miss Tokudaiji's ambiguous Relationship in the Company, may not have been spread by Madam Meifang, even, she has not done this for the first time.
This kind of Woman, treats all Men as her playthings, all Women are her enemies, she should be held in the palm of the hand and cared for, and not just by one Person.
If there is a lack of Men's attention around her, she will use any Means to get it, even if it will destroy other people's family affection and Friendship, she doesn't care, it is because of this that I feel very disgusted."
Conan felt that his worldview was a bit subverted, and doubted, "How can you be sure she is this kind of Person?"
"Actually, everything is traceable, from Madam Meifang disguising Oneself as a victim, to some of her actions and Words, and then listening to Mr. Hideki and Mr. Yoshinori quarrel, and the strange Atmosphere between several people..." Chi Feichei paused, "Conan, You're Still Small, it's normal if you can't understand."
Conan really wanted to Say that he was not Small, but, although his original Body was High School Student, he really couldn't see these Things, he was annoyed for a moment, "These are just Deductions, right?"
"Do you want to verify it?" Chi Feichei saw Conan nod, and continued, "This kind of Person is used to pushing Responsibility to other people, disguising Oneself as a weak Person, when the Truth is exposed, she will imply that she is innocent, she wants to Murder, all because of Mr. Gerald's fault, and also because Mr. Yoshinori's Relationship with the secretary is ambiguous."
"Then you really were Intentionally injured?" Conan asked in a low voice.
"Sorry, maybe it was because I thought of some unpleasant Things before, my Emotion was not very good," Chi Feichei said in a low and calm Tone, "And also at the Venue, looking at Madam Meifang's pretentious appearance, I suddenly felt a little unhappy."
Conan almost couldn't catch his breath, he originally wanted to scold Chi Feichei.
This Fellow doesn't know where Danger will come from and courts death, and isn't afraid of really dying? How much does he have to dislike Kana Miho? Is it worth it?
But, hearing Chi Feichei Say 'Sorry' and remembering that Chi Feichei's Emotion was indeed not very good before, the anger in his heart suddenly broke out again.
Just felt suffocated...
"Then you can tell Mr. Hideki and Mr. Yoshinori..."
"It's useless, they have already fallen into blindness," Chi Feichei Analysis, "If I talk to them, they will instead think that I am smearing Madam Meifang, you can also understand that the root Reason for my unhappiness is actually because I saw three stupid Men, and felt that they lost Men's Face."
Yes, he is just unhappy, so Kana Miho wants to Murder Gerald Tenma, he just won't let Gerald Tenma die, but he doesn't want to stop the Incident, making it easy for Kana Miho, so he might as well get injured Oneself, and pursue Responsibility to the end.
Actually, this Injury is not even as bad as that fight with Kyogoku Makoto.
Don't say what big Man don't bother with Woman, he is disgusted enough by three stupid Men and a White Lotus tonight, can't he vent his anger?
If Kana Miho herself had no intention to Murder, who could trick her?
Speaking of which, he is already considered to have saved Gerald Tenma's life, and also made Kana Miho's Punishment not be sentenced so heavily.
If it were any Woman who dared to play with him like this, he would definitely chop her to death without discussion!
Conan also thought that Chi Feichei was doing a good thing, and Kana Miho was not considered innocently tricked, it was all deserved, helplessly looking at Chi Feichei, "You won't do Reasoning, right?"
Chi Feichei nodded.
"Then I will go to verify." Conan was a little unconvinced, dropped a Sentence, found a Corner and gave Mori Kogoro an Anesthetic Needle.
After a dance, Mori Kogoro slumped to the Ground, and started Reasoning, the Culprit was Kana Miho, and the Method was using Silk Thread.
Before, using a Gypsum Statue to self-direct and self-act a scene of Oneself being attacked.
"I think, Madam Meifang should want us to See the Gypsum Statue, confirm that she was attacked, and provide Testimony that 'that was a Man whose facial features were somewhat like a foreigner', so as to lead Suspicion to Mr. Gerald Tenma, but unfortunately it was Destructive by Hassashi, we didn't have time to See clearly what it was, and the Gypsum Statue was smashed and flew down..."
"However, Mr. Gerald was soaking wet when he came, which is enough to arouse Suspicion, Madam Meifang also put the Book on the Bookshelf on the Ground, pretending that this was knocked down during the struggle when attacked, so that we would discover that Photo, let us know her past with Gerald, and we would associate it with the fact that she received threatening Phone Call and secretly taken Photo at the same time, and also received Bouquet that was the same as in Mr. Gerald Tenma's Lyrics."
"You mean Meifang Intentionally created the illusion that Gerald was threatening and attacking her?" Yoshinori Kana said dissatisfied, "Why? Why did Meifang do this?"
"To prepare for Murdering Mr. Gerald Tenma afterwards!" Conan said in Mori Kogoro's voice, in a deep and serious Tone, "She wants you to suspect that the Person harassing her is Mr. Gerald, and then chase after Mr. Gerald to question him, you have an argument here, and then Mr. Gerald dies, you are the most likely Person to Murder! Setting up the Murder Trap is also because of this..."
Using Silk Thread, pass it through the Small Hole on the Sword hilt, pass the String through the Chandelier, and hang the Sword up.
One end of the String is wrapped around the Second Floor railing, pulled to behind the Piano Bench, tied with a small knot, put on the Tuning Fork, and the Tuning Fork is pressed on the Piano Bench that is laid down, and the other end is tied with heavy Things, hanging down Outside the window.
Afterwards, Kana Miho went Downstairs, proposed to let Gerald Tenma sing Song, Gerald Tenma would come to the Piano Room to tune the Piano, and Yoshinori Kana would also follow because of resentment.
After the two quarreled, Gerald Tenma was in the Room, preparing to tune the Piano, found that the Piano Bench was down, the Tuning Fork was pressed under the bench, and there was only a distance for one Human between the Piano Bench and the Piano, he would be like Chi Feichei, Go To, squat down or lie down, and reach out to pick up the Tuning Fork.
Once the Tuning Fork is pulled away, the String has nothing to hold it, the Sword will fall, and the Human squatting or lying in that Place that only accommodates one Person, it is difficult to Dodge and will be pierced through the heart.
Afterwards, the String is dragged away by the heavy Things Outside the window, falling into the sea off the Cliff, and Yoshinori Kana becomes the number one Suspect.
