Chapter 259: The
Kogoro Mouri forced himself to break free from his daze, wiped his face with both hands, and his brain, which couldn't run fast when encountering important people, began to run rapidly.
Omura had been an optimistic guy since before; rather than depression, this guy’s biggest problem was being introverted. And this guy’s physique didn't look like the type to be assaulted.
However, this naive thought was quickly dispelled.
The assault mentioned wasn't during university; perhaps it was earlier, even when they were young and had no resistance. So, not just girls, except for me, others had the possibility.
Kogoro Mouri could only be sure now that he didn't have such an encounter, so the deceased definitely wouldn't be him.
As for the question of who had depression, it wasn't easy to see.
The more depressed people are, the more they tend to appear normal; the more serious a person’s psychological problems are, the less they can be seen on the surface.
Judging a person’s psychological problems from the surface is very stupid.
There were many clues, even very obvious ones, but they were all information only the parties involved knew.
Kogoro Mouri couldn't know who the deceased was from this information; after all, they were just university classmates, not high school, or even middle school, or elementary school classmates; they didn't know each other that well.
"Kid, I feel that you aren't joking."
At this moment, Kogoro Mouri confirmed that the kid in front of him was definitely not joking; no joke could be played to this extent.
"Isn't this something you investigated in advance?"
This wasn't just Kogoro Mouri’s question, but also everyone’s question.
To this question, Ren Amamiya didn't answer immediately, but asked a rhetorical question:
"Does doing this have any benefit for me?"
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions immediately sank.
The answer they thought of was that there was no benefit at all.
People can do incredible things for profit, but no one will do things that have no benefit and no good things for themselves.
Because there was no benefit, it couldn't be an investigation conducted in advance.
Doing so is actually meaningless.
What’s more, investigating detailed personal information couldn't infer who the murdered object was.
If the deceased could be inferred so easily, there wouldn't be so many deceased and murderers in this world.
In a situation where almost everything is uncertain, specifically investigating a person’s information is also meaningless.
Could it really be the result obtained from fortune-telling?
Conan Edogawa, who logically reached the conclusion, also had his belief in the authenticity of fortune-telling shaken.
Because it was mixed with too many uncertainties, he also knew that advance investigation was meaningless, unless it was the party planning the murder case.
But, could such a thing exist?
Specifically choosing the murder case at Uncle’s class reunion, and deliberately choosing to attack Uncle’s old classmate? This is a blatant provocation, right? And the person who did this would take the initiative to jump out and expose themselves as a fortune-teller?
This is completely a behavior of seeking death.
Of course, a more important reason is that there is no motive and no reason.
Conan Edogawa very much agreed with the topic of benefits Ren Amamiya just mentioned.
No one will do things that have no benefits at all.
He had also briefly learned about Ren Amamiya’s information; he was his classmate at Teitan High School, and usually belonged to the group of classmates who didn't fit in at school.
Living frugally, but was a representative of working and studying.
Conan Edogawa found it hard to imagine what necessity there was for such a person to plan some murder cases.
What’s more, if such planning really existed, it was aimed at Uncle, and the person who did such a thing also had hatred for Uncle.
So it was even more necessary to rule out the situation of deliberate planning.
Thinking in a circle, Conan Edogawa felt that fortune-telling was the most normal answer.
But it was this thought that made Conan Edogawa feel his CPU was fried.
He was a detective who seriously talked about logic.
A detective believing in fortune-telling, does that look like anything?
"Mr. Mouri, are you still interested in the murderer?"
"Yes. Of course I am!"
The news about the deceased was too closed off; Kogoro Mouri really couldn't think of who that person was. He also needed to understand the fortune-telling content of the murderer; maybe he could know which one of the old classmates it was from the murderer’s fortune-telling.
And at this moment, Kogoro Mouri’s expression was much more serious than at the beginning.
He began to believe in the results of the fortune-telling.
To this, Ren Amamiya just smiled slightly, began to pack up the tarot cards, and re-shuffled and cut them.
Then he began to tell the fortune for the subsequent content, randomly drawing three cards from the deck.
The Lovers (Reversed), The Sun (Reversed), The Devil (Upright).
"The murderer’s 18-year love marathon had no result. Half a year ago, because the long-term love could not get a response, he finally had to choose to give up, established a relationship with another opposite sex through others' introduction, but what followed was the endless harassment faced by the murderer’s fiancée, and the crazy threats from the former love object."
"In the end, the murderer still made a difficult decision; he was prepared to solve it once and for all, and completely solve the person in this gathering."
Good guy, the murderer revealed a lot of news, but the key content was still unknown.
Kogoro Mouri took a deep breath.
The murderer and the deceased had an 18-year love marathon, but the question of who these two people were still left people confused.
Even a married person like Yukio Ayashiro couldn't be completely ruled out of suspicion; if this fortune-telling pointed to an affair, it would be completely wrong.
A lot of the content about fortune-telling had actually been deleted; personal information sounded like a lot, but the key parts were hidden.
But there was one point Kogoro Mouri was very clear about; if it really went according to what the fortune-telling said, then this old classmate reunion was probably really going to have something big happen.
This made Kogoro Mouri’s face have a bit more irritability.
"Kid, can’t you say more about the content of the fortune-telling?"
