With Senichi leading him, Conan easily passed the police guard.
As soon as they entered the warehouse, Senichi and Conan found that the four suspects, Dr. Agasa and Police Officer Megure were all in the warehouse.
"Huh? Why are you all here?" Senichi asked aloud after seeing a few people.
"Shugo's leg is seriously injured, we have to send him to the hospital." Director Mikami explained.
"His foot is injured like that, I'm afraid he won't be able to play Godzilla for a while..." Agasa looked at the pained expression on Shugo Matsui who was being supported up, and couldn't help but regret.
"Not to mention Godzilla, even the roles of ordinary people can't be played anymore." Adachi held Matsui's arm, looking annoyed.
I don't know if he is talking to Dr. Agasa, or if he is alluding to Matsui giving up Godzilla and wanting to play an ordinary role.
Of course, although he looked full of resentment, he still cared about Matsui
Seeing that Matsui was about to be taken away with the support of several people, Conan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Matsui, didn't you show us Godzilla's claws at noon? Are there any feet?"
"Of course there is!" Matsui asked in cold sweat, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay." Conan laughed and the two fell silent.
Watching several people carry Matsui away, Conan immediately searched for something in the column marked "Knife Object", but soon felt a pain in his fingers.
When he took out his finger, there was a long gash cut by a knife on his index finger.
"Wait...if this is the case, then the culprit can only be that person!!!" Conan turned to look at the four people who were walking out the door, with a solemn expression.
"So that's what happened..."
Senichi on one side also showed a clear look, and at the same time lamented Conan's powerful reasoning ability. Although he accidentally reminded him, it was the other party who reminded him afterwards.
If Conan hadn't found so many clues afterwards, Senichi wouldn't have seen the truth of the matter.
"It's just that he is too self-disciplined... thinking that I have seen through everything..."
Senichi felt amused while feeling dissatisfied with this situation.
He hopes to have the real strength and confidence to face all this, not a loft in the sky, otherwise he will be exposed sooner or later.
At this moment, he was even more eager to become a real famous detective. He didn't want to follow Conan every time and only find the truth after being prompted by the other party.
Although his current strength is not as good as the opponent's, fortunately, time is on his side. This chaotic timeline allows him to continuously learn and enhance his own abilities, and the system brings the possibility of quickly becoming stronger.
"It seems that the case can be concluded." Senichi said with a smile to Conan.
"Ah, then I'll leave it to you." Conan looked at Senichi and said, "With you here, I don't need to appear."
"Well, leave it to me." Senichi waved his hand to stop the four people who were about to leave.
"Sorry, I can't let you leave for now." Senichi looked at the bewildered crowd with a smile: "Because the criminal is among you!"
"Nani!!" Police Officer Megure said in shock, "Is what you said true? Senichi-kun!?"
"Of course." Senichi nodded and smiled, "How can I talk nonsense about things I'm not sure about."
"Then Senichi-kun, as a person who has personally experienced it, should know, right?"
Police Officer Megure looked solemn, "You chased after the criminal wearing a Godzilla holster, but he disappeared behind the rooftop.
Only the prop suit was burning and fell on the ground downstairs.
If you know who the culprit is, you must solve this mystery first! "
"Well, the method is actually very simple, it's just that we fell into inertial thinking for a while and didn't see it right away. "
Facing Officer Megure's question, Senichi chuckled and began to explain: "I thought about it again, when we went to chase the criminal, Tomomi-san, Conan and I only saw the criminal's tail.
This tail is a real tail, because the other party was wearing Godzilla's holster, and Godzilla's tail disappeared at the turn.
But in fact, none of us saw the criminal actually go up the stairs with our own eyes."
"But there are painted footprints on the stairs. This is an indisputable fact. From the corridor to the top of the stairs leading to the roof, there are his footprints!" Officer Megure continued to ask questions.
"This is the key point of this method!" Senichi looked at Police Officer Megure and asked, "If I say that those footprints were made by the criminals in advance to pretend to climb on the roof, Officer Megure, Will you believe it?"
"How can I believe it?" Police Officer Megure said angrily, "If those footprints had been in the corridor from the beginning, they would have been discovered long ago, wouldn't they?"
"But what if he only put footprints on the staircase leading to the rooftop?" Senichi asked rhetorically.
"There are steps leading to the rooftop. Generally speaking, very few people would go there. Right? And the reason why I am sure of this is because the murderer made a big mistake! "
"A mistake?" Police officer Megure looked at Senichi and said, "That is to say, you have evidence to show that those were the footprints printed by the criminal in advance?"
"right!"
Senichi affirmed: "The evidence is that there are traces of Godzilla's tail brushing the paint on the ground in the aisle, and on the steps leading to the roof, there are only clean footprints and no traces of the tail dragging the paint!
I'm afraid the criminal didn't think of this at all!
That is to say, after the criminal fled to the corner and out of our sight, he didn't go to the rooftop at all, but quickly came to the bottom of the stairs and took off Godzilla's leather case!
Afterwards, he took the costume and went to the utility room at the corner of the stairs, lit the Godzilla leather case and threw it from the window to the ground.
In this way, we who were chasing after the footprints would naturally feel that the criminal escaped to the rooftop.
But there were no people on the rooftop, only the burning Godzilla leather case that fell to the ground!
So it became a strange case of 'the criminal disappeared on the rooftop' !!"
To put it simply, this is more like another manifestation of "one leaf blinding the eyes". People only see the leaves in front of them, but ignore the surrounding affairs.
In this case, those painted footprints not only guided the actions of Senichi and others, but also made them ignore other very simple possibilities.
Because they were in the middle of the chase and the time was short, they saw the footprints spreading upstairs, so their brain directed their body to follow without hesitation, but ignored the direction downwards of the stairs.
And this is exactly what the criminal wanted to see.
