Chapter 789 Reasoning Kitten, Grand Debut
Haibara Cat stared at Conan warily, and of course Miyano Akemi, who was holding Sistermon, noticed it.
"What are you going to do, Conan-kun?"
"I think Sister Qiuya's cat seems to have something to say. Did it discover something?" Conan said in a good-natured tone that made people who knew his identity feel a little nauseous: "Aren't cats the best at catching mice? Why don't we listen to its opinion?"
"Shiho?" Miyano Akemi lowered her head and looked at Sistermon, but Sistermon's eyes were full of disgust and it didn't look like she had anything to say. Then Miyano Akemi realized that Conan wanted to use her sister's mouth to make inferences.
You actually want to take advantage of my sister, huhuhuhuhu... It looks like it's really fun!
Miyano Akemi instantly turned into an accomplice. She grabbed the innocent sistermon with one hand to prevent her from escaping, and with the other hand she took out the animal translator that she had prepared long ago.
Haibara Ai wanted to experience what it was like to be an ordinary cat, so she refused to wear the translator in the morning.
And now, Miyano Akemi forced Sistermon to wear a bow-shaped translator, but did not turn on the power. After all, the one who really wanted to talk was Conan, who had slipped behind the sofa at this time.
Isao Sawaguri and the three aunts thought it was just a child's fantasy, but when the adult Akemi Miyano got involved, took out something in a serious manner, and held it high to show it, they began to become confused.
The bow was placed around the neck of the forced-opening Haibara cat: "Okay, Shiho can talk now."
"Miaaaaoooo..."
Behind the sofa, Conan used a voice changer to make Haibara Ai's original voice: "Ah, you still haven't figured out the answer? Seeing that you are so distressed, this cat will mercifully answer you. Remember to be grateful and give me the dried fish, meow~"
"Eh? Is it the kitten talking?" Sure enough, all the people who didn't know the situation were startled by the sudden strange voice.
Maori Kogoro has been trained to the point where he is no longer surprised by this. "Ah, that is the animal translator invented by the doctor, right?"
"Translator?" Everyone else looked as if they had never seen anything like this.
"Ding ding ding!" Akemi Miyano held up the sistermon in her hand: "Yes, this is Dr. Agasa's latest invention, the pet language translator! It lets you know what your pet wants to say to you anytime and anywhere!"
Martin continued, "Safe and non-toxic materials, gentle and skin-friendly, resistant to chewing and no deformation. Of course, top technology must be matched with the best quality."
Miyano Akemi: "Yes, it is the perfect choice for traveling at home, visiting relatives and friends, and offering congratulations."
Martin: "So, where can you buy it?"
"This friend asked a good question." Miyano Akemi made a heart shape with her hands. "Click the link at the bottom of the screen now to order first. The first 50 users can also enjoy the styling customization service, and the first 1000 users will receive a beautiful gift box. The quantity is limited and will be given away while stocks last."
"You two are here to advertise?" Suzuki Sonoko complained, "But I'll order two first and put them on my dad's fortune tortoise, so I can see it's worth it."
"In fact, Dr. Agasa is still dealing with patent certification and other matters." Martin shrugged: "It will probably take some time to get everything done, and I can also write two years of papers in the meantime."
It is said that due to the limitations of the language ability of the animals using the translator, most animals speak one word at a time. If the examples of a certain Corgi and a certain cat are used for publicity and advertising, it seems to be suspected of false advertising.
Masumi Sera was carefully observing the cat with a bow and half-moon eyes on its face: "Come to think of it, this bow is the same as the one worn by that little brother named Conan."
Because Conan's trip to London was in the form of a Corgi, the key "I am Sherlock Holmes' disciple" scene was missing. At this time, Masumi Sera did not know that Conan was the shrinkage of Shinichi Kudo. Neither Akemi Miyano nor Shuichi Akai betrayed Conan.
In addition, because the first animal translator that Dr. Agasa got to study was the bow-shaped translator on the corgi, the translators that Dr. Agasa made later, as well as a recorder that he made for Martin some time ago, were all in the shape of bows. Martin and Akemi Miyano, two people who like to watch the fun, also strongly support this and look forward to the day when all the pet dogs on the street wear the same bows as Conan.
Martin sighed softly: "Yes, the great detective was born with a rare disease and cannot speak normally. He can only speak normally when wearing the translator made by Dr. Agasa."
"Ahem! Do you still want to listen to my reasoning?" Seeing that he was about to be 'diagnosed' with congenital cerebral palsy, Conan, who was hiding behind the sofa, quickly interrupted the topic in Haibara Ai's voice: "Didn't they say the police will be here soon? Do you still want to find the criminal before the police come?"
Haibara Cat is definitely not a qualified double-act actor. Conan's tone is lively and delicate, but she has a pair of lifeless dead fish eyes on her face. She obviously feels that Conan's tone is a slander on her image, and she wants to scratch him with her claws.
However, her body was under the control of Miyano Akemi, who held her claws with both hands and made various powerful movements along with the words, just like performing a puppet drama.
Hearing this, everyone quieted down.
Only Martin calmly comforted him: "Don't worry, if you call and order a takeaway now, it can be delivered before the police arrive."
Especially when ordering takeout from the Polo Cafe downstairs, specify Toru Amuro to deliver it, and then make sure the takeout arrives at the door before you.
Maori Kogoro pinched his chin, looking suspicious: "It's just a cat, does it really know the truth?"
Is the threshold for reasoning getting lower and lower?
Mao Lilan had already heard that it was Conan who was behind this. After hearing what Mao Li Kogoro said, she refuted it very unceremoniously: "Even a sleepwalking old man can come up with a reasoning."
"What do you mean by sleepwalking?" Maori Kogoro blushed and said, "I was just thinking. Do you understand what I mean by thinking?"
"Before I start the reasoning, I'd like to ask you a question." Conan said in the voice of Huiyuan Ai: "If you can only use one color to describe me, what color am I?"
"Ah?" Maori Kogoro looked Huibara Ai up and down for a long time and said, "You can only be considered a calico cat."
The cat that Haibara Ai transformed into was a calico cat with no special bloodline, that is, a pattern of white, black and orange randomly mixed.
There are not many special features of this type of cat. One of them is that generally only female cats have three colors, while male cats are usually only black and white or orange and white. Only a very small number of male cats with chromosomal abnormalities will have three colors.
"Yes, yes. I have three colors. I can't use one color to describe everything. It's not like some animals, like gray-white elephants, gray-black mice, and orange-red foxes. Generally speaking, one color can cover them all... On the other hand, they can also represent a color separately."
"It's lucky that cats and you humans can recognize different ranges of colors, but we happen to be able to recognize these three colors, otherwise I might not be able to solve this puzzle, meow."
Conan was hiding behind the sofa and talking. Suddenly, it got dark above his head. Apparently, someone blocked the light above his head. He looked up nervously, but happened to meet Xiaolan's eyes. To be honest, when Conan saw those deep, naturally black eyes, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly reacted and gave Xiaolan a smile.
As expected, Xiaolan smiled at him, and they exchanged glances before the smile retracted.
Xiaolan is still the same Xiaolan, but her appearance has been changed by Martin's superpowers today... Well, maybe not entirely her appearance.
Everyone was inspired by what the 'Cat' said and was shocked: "You mean, those three nicknames are related to colors?"
Maori Kogoro slammed the table and pointed at the three aunts: "What color clothes did you three wear on the day the deceased died!?"
"It's not the clothes." Conan continued in Huihara Ai's voice, "It's something more lasting. When the deceased Miss Mihong only knew them through the Internet, she had already decided on the color."
Suzuki Sonoko: "Is that your online name?"
Sera Masumi shook her head: "As for the online name, they should have discovered it a long time ago."
"That's not right, Shiho." Miyano Akemi lowered her head, as if she really thought it was her cat who was making the inferences, and asked, "Foxes and mice also have white colors, right? The gray of elephants is similar to the gray of mice."
"If we deduce colors from animals, there are naturally many choices, but when the deceased was given a nickname, he was deducing the animal from the color." Conan hid behind the sofa and argued: "Although the elephant's skin is gray, its ivory is very white."
"Ivory..." Sera Masumi suddenly became alert. After all, she was a self-proclaimed detective. It finally dawned on her when she got to this point: "It's a profession. Ms. Nibin's (long-faced) husband is a seal carver. Handmade seals are usually made of the white material that imitates ivory, right?"

"Then there was Ms. Yuchi (big teeth) who worked at the bakery. The color of the baked bread was orange like wheat. I remember that the messenger of the god Inari was an orange fox."
"Finally, it's Ms. Guangjing (Dachentuo) who helps out at the family's stone shop. I remember there's a color that specifically describes the color of stone, and it's called mouse gray, right?"
Da Chentuo nodded with a grim expression.
"Oh~~~~Souga, I guessed wrong." Martin suddenly realized that the person he thought was a mouse was actually a fox, the person he thought was a fox was actually an elephant, and the person he thought was an elephant was a mouse.
"So you are the 'rat' who visited my sister last, and you are the one who killed my sister!" Ze Lixun's eyes widened, his face flushed, and the muscles on his upper body swelled. It was obvious that he was determined to fight to the death with this 'big rat' weighing more than 200 kilograms.
"Please kneel down." The girl next to him whispered, and a pressure was suddenly exerted on Ze Lixun, making him kneel back upright.
"It wasn't me! I didn't kill anyone!" Big Rat was trying to deny it: "Wei Hong was still alive when I left the room!"
"You hu..."
"That's right, the criminal is not her." Huihara Ai's voice sounded again: "It was you who said, Mr. Sawakuri, that a guest saw her running out of your sister's room in a hurry, right?"
"And you also said that you suspected that when you entered the bathroom and found your sister's body, the murderer was hiding in the room and took the opportunity to leave from the balcony."
Ze Lixun was disappointed. Indeed, these two things contradicted each other: "So... is she a mouse?"
"It's a mouse, but a mouse is not the criminal." Conan beat around the bush: "Look carefully at the blog your sister wrote. The last sentence doesn't have a subject, right?"
"What you mean is..." Ze Lixun looked at the blog again. His sister's strange diary was an essay, not written for outsiders to see, and the paragraphs were indeed very scattered.
"The 'why is it staying here' mentioned in the deceased's blog was not a mouse, but a 'fox' that had been in the room before the mouse came, hid in the bathroom after the mouse came, and still refused to leave after the mouse left, picking on Miss Weihong - am I right, Ms. Tangdi... meow."
When the answer was finally revealed, Conan forgot about his cat-like tone in such pride that he spoke in his own aggressive tone during the checkmate moment of his deductions.
The 'big rat' suddenly realized: "So Wei Hong refused to let me use her toilet, not because she was malicious and wanted to embarrass me, but because someone was hiding in the bathroom!"
Martin held his face with his hand. "So even though I guessed the nickname wrong, I guessed the murderer right by accident. I'm worthy of it... I guess your next sentence will be 'Where's the evidence? Why can't it be the first elephant that comes?'"
"Where's the evidence? Why isn't it..." The Fox was choking back the words he had just said. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you know, then show me the evidence! It's too hasty to use a cat's reasoning to determine who the murderer is. Are you going to admit that you are not even as good as a cat?"
Conan didn't say anything, because Martin had already discovered the answer to this question, so there was no need for him to explain it.
"In fact, discovering that you are the murderer has nothing to do with nicknames or last words." Martin sat forward on the sofa, picked up three first edition signed books on the coffee table and stacked them together, then turned 90 degrees and faced the people opposite: "Your books are all first editions. If someone didn't buy pirated books, then they were printed together and have the same version."
"——Then why is it that only yours has a very smooth edge and the width of the pages is shorter?"
So when Martin was looking through their books, he noticed that only Big Teeth's book was different from the other two, which made him more certain that she was the murderer.
Sera Masumi answered quickly, "Because your book was stained with blood when you killed someone, so you cut off a small part of the side, bought a new book, removed the front and back covers, and re-stained them!"
Plop! It was time for the criminal to kneel down and explain his motive for committing the crime.
As for the motive, it was the same as Martin had expected, plagiarism. However, this time the plagiarism was not about the content, but about the "writing style". The deceased Sawakuri Miku had been imitating the writing style of "Fox", and debuted and became famous before her. As a result, when "Fox" was able to debut, the publishing house rejected his manuscript because his writing style was too similar to that of the deceased, as it was considered that there was no market space.
Although Sawaguri Xun still wanted to fight her, under Xiaolan's suppression, he could only kneel down obediently and wait for the takeaway - no, waiting for the police to come and take them away.
Miyano Akemi let go of Sistermon, and Conan tiptoed away from behind the sofa after saying the last sentence, knowing that he might be tickled.
"By the way, you got everything right." Sera Masumi patted Martin's shoulder tentatively: "There are three suspects, the identity of the criminal, and even the motive for the murder. You guessed it right."
"Of course." Martin said arrogantly, "Now you know who is the best detective in Mihua?"
Conan: You better have some shame.
