Chapter 648 Detective Koshien

Reichenbach Building, rooftop.

Professor Moriarty stood here, feeling the chill of the foggy city, squinting his eyes, as if he was feeling something.

"The sky here is really getting darker, but it's no wonder."

"The game is about to end, and then everything will disappear."

"At least if I disappear into the darkness, I won't notice anything, and naturally I won't feel any pain..."

No, there is no pain at all. After all, data deletion only takes a moment.

Just like the building under your feet, it took him several months to build it from scratch, but if you want to blow it down, it will only take a few minutes.

He turned his head and looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu behind him, and finally spoke.

"The table contains all the contents of this game. You can take a look at it first. If you think you can pass it, then the game will begin. If not, then... we will start over."

"Tonight is not a time-poor place, but I have plenty of time."

...are these the rules of the game?
Nanatsuki Koshimizu glanced at the professor, then walked past him and came to the table.

She reached out and picked up the folder on the table, turned a page, and then raised her eyebrows.

"Detective Koshien? What is this? A program plan?"

"Is this what the game is about? What are the conditions for clearing it?"

Professor Moriarty said calmly.

"Find the murderer in this script and all the information about the murderer, including the reason for the murder."

All the information? Are you kidding me? This is impossible to complete?

The female detective was just about to complain about Professor Moriarty.

How could she possibly accept such fake game content?

However, as a detective, she had to investigate first before she could have a say. She planned to patiently read all the contents before making a decision. Anyway, she had plenty of time now.

The worst that could happen to the court is that they ask for a day's adjournment to investigate. When she was defending Xiang Yuanguang, she often used such means to delay the verdict in order to investigate new clues.

"Detective Koshien, suspect Detective A, Detective B, Detective C, Detective D, elementary school student..."

"Detective A, wearing a peaked cap, with burnt skin and a Kansai accent, claims to have solved more than a thousand cases since childhood, has outstanding reasoning ability, and is good at kendo..."

"Detective B, wearing a white suit, has a police background, studied abroad, is related to Kaito Kid, and joined Detective Koshien because of the suggestion of a close friend..."

"Detective C, with a gloomy expression, is very confident in his own reasoning. Once he states his reasoning, it is absolutely impossible for external forces to change his original reasoning..."

"Detective D, wearing black sunglasses, a cyan jacket, likes to listen to music with headphones and earrings. The high school he comes from has strict school rules, even the length of his bangs is limited..."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu's voice became smaller and smaller, and she suddenly looked up at Professor Moriarty with a somewhat unfriendly expression.

This is simply reporting her household registration! What Detective D? Wouldn't it be better to just use her name?

Detective A should be Hattori Heiji, and Detective C is probably Tokitsu Junya, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

Detective B...I'm not sure, but that elementary school student wearing blue clothes, red bow tie, and black-framed glasses is definitely the Edogawa Conan who often runs around with Xiang Yuanguang!
"Are you saying that I am the murderer in this case? Among these people, I can only provide all the information about myself. Apart from them, no one else can meet the requirements to pass this level!"

"...Yes, then, what is the motive for the murder?"

The professor asked with a smile.

"...Motive for murder? How can there be a motive for murder in this fictitious case..." Nanatsuki Koshimizu found it difficult to understand the other party's thinking.

Now Tokatsu Junya's whereabouts are unknown, and no one knows where he is.

Even if his whereabouts are clear now, she can't possibly organize a Detective Koshien, gather a group of detectives on the island, and then find an opportunity to hit him to death with a hammer, right?
"Even if Detective D is the murderer, I have no reason to kill him."

"Your question is wrong. I suggest you rewrite the script!"

"...No? Have you ever thought about why you would kill Tokatsu Junya?"

The professor was not in a hurry to modify the content of the script, but just spoke to himself.

As for the answer to this question, the female detective didn't even need time to think.

The only point of contact between her and Junya Tokitsu was the Lavender Villa case in Shikoku.

But the problem is that all the people involved in the Lavender Villa case had received the legal sanctions they deserved. In other words, even if she started from here, she would not have been able to kill Tokatsu Junya.

unless……

"...Unless Kana died as a result, Tokatsu Junya and the others were not punished in any way."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu reasoned along this line and pointed at her hat with her finger.

"No, that's impossible. If that were the case, I wouldn't have any reason to go to Detective Koshien and come up with such special questions to test detectives... Yes, I'm here to find the detective behind all this."

"In this script, I didn't arrive at Lavender Villa on time, which led to a series of tragedies. I didn't even know that the detective who caused all this was Junya Tokitsu..."

The female detective looked at the professor unhappily.

"Is that so? The answer you want?"

pat.

Professor Moriarty snapped his fingers, and immediately the crow wandered away from the entrance to the rooftop, then returned to the interior of the Reichenbach Building, and no one knew where it went.

The Napoleon of crime said calmly.

"Now, the letter has been placed inside the main control room. Before you take the letter, I have one more question for you."

"What do you think was the ultimate factor that made all the difference?"

…the final factor?
Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who was about to get the letter, stopped in her tracks.

She had originally planned to travel to other places after graduating from high school, but then she received an invitation letter from Asai Narimi and became interested in visiting Tsukikage Island. As a result, she stayed in Tokyo and then went to Shikoku without stopping.

If she hadn't received the invitation letter from Moon Shadow Island, she would probably be traveling somewhere abroad? Or to some remote island... Then she wouldn't be able to rush to the scene immediately.

If you think this way...

"Think about it carefully, it's Xiang Yuanguang, right?"

"Whether he knew it at first or not, his actions ultimately helped you."

Professor Moriarty himself gave the final answer.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki heard him say.

"Then I will take back this help."
