Conan: Silence in the Dark
Chapter 45
The
next afternoon, when the incident came to an end, he came to the detective office to discuss John's incident with Kogoro, after all, Kogoro was also a direct discoverer, and the two were also old acquaintances.
"We're back*2" Shizue and Conan also returned from school shortly after, and Conan saw Mumu and Kogoro on the couch and knew that the case must have been over, and he ran to listen to their conversation without putting his schoolbag down.
Xiao Jing put the schoolbag away, sorted out the books on her small desk, and returned downstairs.
"Father, hasn't my sister come back yet?" Xiao Jing looked at the other rooms.
"Your sister and the garden went to play and won't come back until later. Excuse me, but did Sakaguchi say that? Didn't you say anything else?" Kogoro replied to Shizue and said again.
"Yes, not at all, his assistant was present at the time, which proves that he was not lying. Mumu looked at his notebook and said.
"Please use it. Xiao Jing carried two cups of tea on a tray and placed them in front of Kogoro and Mu Mu.
"Thank you. Mu Mu politely nodded to Xiao Jing in thanks.
"I remember my sister said last night that a junior high school student in the Sakaguchi family committed suicide, is it a relative of Sakaguchi?" asked Xiao Jing, holding her hands behind her back.
"Well, it's Sakaguchi's son. I heard from a colleague about that incident, and it seems that I can't think about it for a while because of being bullied by my classmates. Mu Mu replied.
"Could it be that the person who bullied his son at that time was Xiao Gang?" asked Kogoro at this time.
"Yes, it really is. I also heard Sakaguchi say that his son's diary wrote about being bullied by Xiaogang, and he wrote that he committed suicide because of this. Sakaguchi must have hated Xiaogang when he read his son's diary, and Sakaguchi's wife died very early, and his son can be said to be his only relative. However, I heard Sakaguchi say that when he saw Xiao Gang who kept crying and making amends during the wake, he still forgave him. Mumu confirmed Kogoro's conjecture.
"Was Xiao Gang the only one who bullied his son at that time?" Kogoro then asked.
"It seems that yes, not long after that incident, Xiaogang transferred to Kansai because of his father's work. Then, two years later, Koyo was admitted to a university in Tokyo and returned to Tokyo again, and moved next door to Mr. Sakaguchi this spring. "
"It's fate. Kogoro sighed when he heard the words of the eye.
Mr. Sakaguchi didn't expect to see Xiao Gang again, and he seemed to be taken aback. However, I heard from my neighbors that Sakaguchi seems to have forgotten about the past, and often invites Xiaogang to his house for dinner. "
"But in fact, I think Mr. Sakaguchi still hates Xiaogang."
"Is that so?" asked Kogoro.
"I think Mr. Sakaguchi secretly trained John to attack people with a specific code. And last night Mr. Sakaguchi used a code to tell John, and then John carried out the attack, and Mr. Sakaguchi's revenge plan was finally realized. Kogoro reasoned.
"That's not the case. Memoku rejects Kogoro's reasoning in a very affirmative voice.
"Why are you so sure?".
"Have you forgotten, when we made a transcript for Sakaguchi today, we asked him to put aside what he said on the phone. And John, who was next to him at the time, didn't react at all. Memakura told Kogoro the reason.
"Really?" Kogoro asked with his head bowed in frustration as his reasoning was rejected so quickly.
"I think it's a wonderful reasoning, father. After listening to Kogoro's reasoning, Xiao Jing felt that this reasoning was still worth referencing.
"Well, the Maori brother doesn't have to be discouraged so quickly, maybe it's something else. Mumu also said comfortingly.
"What are you thinking?" said Jing turned to Conan as he brooded
"I also think that Sakaguchi may have used John to carry out his revenge plan. "
"Agree with my father's reasoning?".
"Well, I think it's a code, and there's still a suspicion here. Conan nodded in reply.
"It would be nice if we could go and see it. Jing understood what Conan meant, saying that there might be something else or sound on the scene as a reflex condition.
"You're right!" Conan immediately agreed to Jing's proposal.
"Uncle, I'll be back right away when I go out. "Conan is indeed a true doer, threw his bag in the hallway and ran out.
"Ugh...... This little ghost. Kogoro didn't even react, and Conan had already run outside.
Xiao Jing was a little speechless when she watched Conan run out, this washing machine is really a fully loaded case in his head? Are you really like those people in your previous life who said that your IQ is 150 and your EQ is 015?
"Then I also said goodbye, and I made an agreement with my in-law today to go back early. With a rare shy expression, he got up from the sofa and said.
"Then I won't keep you. Kogoro also got up to send him off.
"Goodbye to the Mumu Police Department. Xiao Jing followed Kogoro to send the eyes out of the door.
About an hour later, Conan returned to the office.
"Conan, where have you been?" asked Xiaolan, who had already returned before Conan.
"I went to Mr. Sakaguchi. Conan changed into his indoor shoes in the hallway.
"What are you going to do in Sakaguchi?" asked Kogoro as he pressed his finished cigarette into the ashtray.
"I was going to see John again, but unfortunately John was taken to the police station. Conan gave the excuse he had come up with.
"Cut, I thought you little ghost was looking for a clue. Kogoro seems to be a little used to Conan's behavior, at least Kogoro didn't guess wrong this time.
"Father, what clues you expect a schoolboy to find is problematic in itself. Xiao Jing said as she looked at the cartoon playing on the TV.
"That's right, haha. Kogoro also felt that his requirements were a little too high, and smiled awkwardly.
Conan listened to the conversation between Xiao Jing and Xiao Goro with a wry smile, and sat on the sofa like Xiao Jing and watched the anime playing on the TV in front of him. No, it's rare for you to have the same hobby as your peers, right? Is it easy for me to pretend to be a primary school student? Knowing that I am a new one, you still come to ridicule me for ..........
"But I went to find out today that the host of Sakaguchi's wireless phone is a wired microphone, but last night I only put the wireless handset in the living room, why is this?" Conan naturally went to investigate clues, and in order to solve the case, Conan didn't bother to bother with Xiaojing.
"Hmm. Why is that. Xiao Jing expressionlessly repeated Conan's hint of selling cuteness, which may be a curious question in the eyes of Xiaolan and Xiao Goro, but in Conan's eyes, it seems to be saying, you continue to die, for fear that others will not know that you are a new couple, right?
"There must be a reason for this!" Kogoro seemed to think of something.
"Because it was a wireless phone that could be moved, Xiao Gang walked up the stairs. You see, it's impossible to get a wired microphone to the second floor, so Sakaguchi put the wireless handset microphone in the living room!" explained Kogoro as he pointed to the phone on the table.
"So Dad, do you still think that Mr. Sakaguchi called John to attack Xiao Gang?" asked Xiao Lan, who was cleaning up the garbage, as she emptied the contents of the ashtray into the prepared garbage bag.
"That's right, the phone call made me even more convinced!But I still don't know what that important attack code word is, damn it!" Kogoro clenched his hand unwillingly.
"By the way, our house clock won't ring. But Mr. Sakaguchi's bell rings every hour. Conan continued.
"Clock? By the way! It was exactly eight o'clock when John attacked Kogon, I see! My detective Mori Kogoro solved the puzzle with ease! Hahaha! I gave Mumu a call. At Conan's prompting, Kogoro felt that he had solved the mystery and began to get carried away again.
After receiving the call, Mumu asked Officer Sato, who was still at work, to deal with it on his behalf, and Sato contacted Mr. Sakaguchi to verify Kogoro's reasoning when it was still dusk and before the night was shrouded.
Kogoro and Sato and Sakaguchi gathered in the backyard where John was placed.
"What are you trying to say? Officer Sato. Sakaguchi asked with some displeasure.
"We want to do an experiment, Mr. Sakaguchi. Sato gave Takagi a look, and Takagi ran to the cage where John was kept.
"Now, as I instruct, I beg you to repeat what I said to John last night. Sato saw that Takagi had already stood up, and wanted to say to Sakaguchi.
"It's... All right. Sakaguchi hesitated but agreed. Xiao Jing could see from his expression that he already knew that the police were still suspicious of him.
When Takagi saw Sakaguchi agree, he took out a tape recorder from his pocket and played the pre-recorded clock on the hour.
Everyone watched John's reaction quietly, except for Xiao Jing who glanced at it and turned to look at Sakaguchi.
"It's useless. Sakaguchi didn't see any panic at all, just the nervousness of a normal person being suspected.
Conan, who was next to him, showed a questioning expression to Jing after hearing Xiao Jing's whispered words.
"Mr. Sakaguchi, please get started. Sato waited for the clock to sound and let Sakaguchi start.
"Okay. Sakaguchi replied in a whisper.
"John, how are you? How are you? John. Sakaguchi repeated what he had said on the phone.
"Excuse me, be louder. Sato saw that John didn't react, so he asked Sakaguchi to amplify his voice a bit.
Sakaguchi repeated again loudly. But John remained unmoved, and only called John twice in response.
The experiment ended with Kogoro and Conan's expressions of disbelief.
"It's weird, it shouldn't be wrong. Kogoro, who returned to the office, collapsed on the sofa and was still struggling.
"Sure enough, it's a father who uses his dog to avenge his deceased son, you think too much. Xiaolan said to Kogoro.
"There's nothing we can do now, but when we investigated, we found out that Sakaguchi had taken John out every Sunday for the past three months. Mr. Sakaguchi is saying that in the suburbs, Big John can let go a little. Takagi said, taking out the case notebook. By the way, Takaiki and Sato are now sitting opposite Kogoro, while Shizuki is sitting on Sato's lap and is being held by Sato.
"He must have used that time to train John!" Kogoro still refused to give up.
"But we don't have proof. Sato blocked Kogoro's words back.
"One more thing to tell you, though I'm sorry, I'm sorry that John will be executed tomorrow night. This is an order from above, there is no way. And Mr. Sakaguchi has already agreed. Sato said apologetically touching Xiao Jing's head.
"Although I don't know much about the breed of John, the lifespan of a large dog is generally about 9 to 12 years. John must be almost dead age, so Sakaguchi will agree. Xiao Jing was unmoved by Sato's movements, still staring at the book in her hand.
"Anyway, I've always thought that Xiao Jing is very knowledgeable since I saw her!" Sato said.
"Because Xiao Jing has liked to read all kinds of books since she was sensible, she was holding the books in her father's or mother's study while the other children were playing, and we were also shocked before. Xiaolan replied for Sato.
"Maybe Xiao Jing will be a big teacher in the future. "Here the teacher is saying that he is very outstanding in a certain field.
"I would be a lawyer just like my mother. Xiao Jing was not shy to say her goal.
"Like Eiri-sensei?".
"Hmm. Xiao Jing replied in the affirmative.
Sato and Takagi then exchanged pleasantries with Kogoro for a while and then left.
