Chapter 1000: Someone else is behind the scenes
Amuro Toru held the cup and said slowly: "The first person who picked up the boy's phone was a fat man with oily skin; the second one was a thin man with a protective gear on his neck; and the last one was an old man with a pacemaker implanted in his body."
"But only one of these three people left fingerprints. Whose fingerprints do you think they were?"
Subaru Okiya took a sip of coffee slowly, then said, "Is it the second skinny man with a protective gear on his neck?"
"After the first man with oily skin took the phone, he should have wiped it, otherwise the phone would be sticky and inconvenient for the other two to take it directly, right?"
"And the last elderly person may refuse to pick up the phone out of concern that electromagnetic waves may affect their pacemakers."
Amuro Toru put down the cup, crossed his hands and supported his chin, then looked at Okiya Subaru: "Correct answer."
Subaru Okiya immediately raised a question: "But after the second man took the phone, didn't the man who was shot also take the phone? Shouldn't there be three people's fingerprints on it? Including the boy's."
Amuro Toru said slowly: "What if we do something so that fingerprints won't be left behind?"
Amuro Toru continued, "It is very likely that the man had anticipated this situation, so he applied a protective film on his fingers with something like glue in advance, so that he would not leave his fingerprints on the phone."
Okiya Subaru put on a puzzled expression and asked, "Why would he do this?"

inside the car.
After hearing Judy's speculation, Kamal showed a shocked expression: "You put a protective film on your fingers?"
"Yeah," Judy muttered, looking at her fingers. "He must have put protectors on both hands, just in case."
Kamal was a little confused: "What does this mean?"
Judy explained: "As long as you apply the protective film on your fingers, you won't leave fingerprints on it when you pick up the Conan phone!"
At this point, Judy finally realized why Shuichi Akai couldn't hold a can of coffee at that time. It wasn't because he didn't get enough rest and was in a trance, but because his fingers were coated with a protective film, so they were too slippery and he couldn't hold it for a while!
Kamal also reacted. He said in disbelief: "In that case, the fingerprints collected from the phone..."
Judy said with certainty: "That's not Xiu's, it's Kusuda Rikumichi's!"
Kamal's guess became bolder and bolder: "So, the body that was shot in the head and burned along with the car in Kurohayama was also Kusuda Rikumichi?!"
Judy pinched her chin and analyzed in a deep voice: "I'm afraid so. Although I don't know the reason, it should be that Xiu asked Kusuda Rikudichi to wear the same clothes as himself, and then pretended to be hit by Mizunashi Rena, and then found the right time to exchange with the body..."
"I see..." Kamal widened his eyes.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange in the rearview mirror. He looked up and saw several cars that had appeared behind him and were following closely.

in the cinema.
"what!"
Suddenly, a horrifying scene suddenly appeared on the screen, and screams rang out in the cinema.
Miyano Shiho was also startled. She screamed uncontrollably and turned into Yuya's arms.
Yuya smiled and touched Miyano Shiho's back, whispering, "So Shiho is afraid of horror movies. I thought you were super brave."
Miyano Shiho subconsciously reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Yuya's waist and was about to twist it. She didn't know what she thought of, so she loosened her fingers and cursed softly, "Bad guy!"
And not far behind the two of them.
The woman in black looked at her male companion who was trembling in her arms, and lowered her dead eyes helplessly.
He raised his head and looked forward, confirming that the two people were still seated, then lowered his head and patted his companion's back to comfort him.
I told you to just guard the entrance and exit outside, why did you have to come in and watch with us?
···
"I see," Okiya Subaru crossed his arms, "This line of reasoning is indeed quite interesting. So, how did that man escape in the end?"
Amuro Toru did not answer, but looked at the TV: "Before answering this question, could you please turn off the TV? We are talking about important things, it's a bit too noisy."
Okiya Subaru politely declined, "What does it matter? I also want to know who wins the Oscar."
Amuro Toru sighed helplessly, but did not continue to force him. He said, "Because the woman who shot the man is in cahoots with him, right?"
"So, I guess he snuck into that woman's car and just ran away like that?"
"It was hidden from the eyes of the man who was in the car far away and was responsible for monitoring it."
When he said this, a mocking expression flashed across Amuro Toru's face.
Okiya Subaru was a little surprised: "Is there someone watching the scene?"
"That's right. The man who was watching didn't expect that he was being tricked, right? After all, the man who was hit just fell down with blood gushing out of his head."
Okiya Subaru seemed to doubt his ears: "Blood spurting out of the head? Can you survive like this?"
Amuro Toru crossed his arms and denied, "This is also fake. The man who was shot was wearing a black knitted hat. As long as we make a device that can spray blood from the knitted hat with blank bullets..."
"After all, isn't there a famous inventor nearby? The inventions he made are not to be underestimated."
Subaru Okiya thought for a moment, "So, that man asked his female accomplice to fire blank bullets at his head, right?"
"No," Amuro Toru denied this statement, "The one who ordered him to shoot was the man in charge of surveillance."
"Hmm?" Okiya Subaru made a confused expression just right.
Amuro Toru sneered and said, "That's because he expected that the man who was monitoring him would like to shoot someone's brain when he gave the enemy the last shot, so as to ensure the target's death."
"Wow?" Okiya Subaru was very surprised, "This man is really amazing, he looks like the protagonist in a novel."
Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes slightly, with a complicated look in them: "But, the person who made this plan was someone else."
"Someone else?" Okiya Subaru was puzzled.
"That's right," Amuro Toru stared into Okiya Subaru's eyes and said slowly, "There is someone else behind this plan. The evidence is that the man said these words before he died..."
“I didn’t expect it would come to this.”
