Establishing the Teyvat Organization in KO

Chapter 323: Hatsune Kado's Testimony

Now was the critical moment of the case, and he was about to hang up, but when he saw that it was Xia Xi who called, who was accompanying Hatsune Kato in the hospital, he guessed whether Miss Kato had woken up, and quickly answered the call.

After the call was connected, Xia Xi's words confirmed his guess.

"Great, Miss Jiamen has woken up!"

As Mouri Kogoro's voice fell, everyone's attention was suddenly focused on Mouri Kogoro.

Banba Raita also showed a surprised expression, but before he rushed to Mouri Kogoro to ask about the details, he saw Mouri Kogoro's face suddenly changed, and then frowned slightly.

The strange look he gave Banchang Lai Tai made him stop suddenly, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

Kogoro Mouri made a gesture to Inspector Megure, then moved away from the crowd, obviously not wanting too many people to hear the following conversation.

Conan looked at Kogoro Maori's actions with curiosity, and he wanted to get closer to him to listen to what Sister Xia Xi was going to say to Uncle Maori.

But unfortunately, almost everyone around is paying attention to Uncle Maori's actions, which is a bit too eye-catching now than in the past.

In sight of everyone, Kogoro Mouri walked to the corner, and then operated something on the terminal. Although the distance was not too far, no one could hear what he was saying.

I have to say that although Conan has some concerns about the security of the terminal, its privacy mode is still very useful.

I saw Kogoro Mouri standing in the corner, facing the crowd sideways, nodding from time to time, with a very focused expression as he responded to the words coming from the other end of the phone.

After a while, Maori Kogoro suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Banba Raita. At this moment, his face showed a trace of hesitation, and his eyes were full of disbelief, as if he had heard a piece of news that was completely unexpected to him.

Banba Raita was startled by the sudden gaze and looked at Mouri Kogoro somewhat at a loss.

However, gradually, Maori Kogoro's frown gradually relaxed. After he pondered for a while, his expression gradually relaxed, as if he had made up his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone.

"Mouri, what's wrong? Is Hatsune okay?" Banba Raita asked impatiently.

Conan noticed that Uncle Maori's expression was a little heavy at this time, but he was not anxious or sad, which meant that Miss Jiamen in the hospital was in good condition.

Sure enough, what Kogoro Mori said next confirmed his thoughts.

"Miss Jiamen is fine. She just woke up. Xia Xi just called me and told me that Miss Jiamen admitted that she committed suicide tonight and the escort did not do anything to her."

"But..." Inspector Megure was a little skeptical. He suspected that Hatsune Kado still had feelings for Raita Banba and gave false testimony. After all, there was indeed Raita Banba's DNA on her manicure.

The others also looked at Detective Maori with doubt.

Before Inspector Megure could express his suspicion, Maori Kogoro interrupted him and said, "I have evidence."

Then he looked at Officer Takagi Shigeya, who was more easy to talk to next to Inspector Megure, and motioned for him to take off Banba Ryouta's shoes and check them.

After watching them finish their inspection, Maori Kogoro said, "The stain under Banba Raita's shoes is the cake that Miss Jiamen accidentally stepped on before leaving the restaurant. This proves that he never left the restaurant. After all, if he walked to the crime scene when it was raining, the cream under his shoes would definitely fall off almost completely."

"So that's how it is." Takagi Shigeru suddenly realized.

"This doesn't completely prove that Banba Ryota is innocent. What if this is an 'alibi' he deliberately left behind?" Matsuda Jinpei expressed a different opinion.

"What you said makes sense. But the cake was dropped by this detective accidentally," Detective Maori looked at Amuro Toru, "He didn't know about it beforehand, so it's unlikely that he prepared it in advance. And he hasn't told anyone about this until now, so the possibility that this is a trap he set in advance is still very small."

Conan lowered his head and thought: Indeed, as Uncle Maori said, the possibility that Mr. Banba killed Miss Kaito is indeed small, but this does not prove that he is not the murderer.

The main question is why Miss Jiamen wanted to commit suicide. If this is not clear, Mr. Banba cannot completely clear himself of suspicion.

And Uncle Maori’s behavior now is completely different from usual. Is it because of what Sister Xia Xi said just now?

Damn, did she discover some clue that I didn’t?

"And Banba Yorita has no motive to kill. As for the reason..." Just as Conan was secretly going crazy, Mouri Kogoro continued to explain.

Just halfway through the conversation, Mao Xiaogoro suddenly came up to Inspector Megure with a grin on his face, put his arm around Inspector Megure's shoulders, and regardless of his struggles, he half-pushed Inspector Megure to a corner, whispering something.

Then, everyone saw Inspector Megure going through almost the same expression changes as Detective Mori.
