Maginot Line.

Construction began in 1928 and was completed in 1940. It cost a total of 5 billion francs. It was an iron wall built by France to resist the German army.

As a result, the German army directly bypassed the Maginot Line and launched a surprise attack from behind, completely reducing the entire defense line to a display, thus becoming the second greatest "French military miracle" after the "French military ceremony".

Today, the Maginot Line has become a well-known attraction that drives local tourism.

"Magino" is also used to describe difficulties that appear to be insurmountable, but are actually vulnerable and even lose their effectiveness.

"Hello, Europe's Maginot Line"

When Qin Zhibo applied this word to Lei Katis, everyone present's eyes widened, and the scene became tense for a while.

Especially Ray Catis, as a football star from Europe, he naturally knows what the Maginot Line of Defense means.

It means nothing can be prevented!

Ray Katis was angry inside, his mustache trembled and his eyebrows knitted together unconsciously.

But even so, he did not dare to have an attack.

Because his physical condition had long been eroded by drugs, he had no choice but to lower his worth and go to the United States to play football.

As we all know, there is a fly in the ointment, so when playing football in the United States, the intensity of the game will be lowered, which will also allow the drug-taking body to adapt.

If he continues to suck, Ray Katis will have no choice but to find a weaker place to play.

Now that he was being mentioned as the "Maginot Line", Ray Katis knew what was going on and could only force out a smile.

"Sir, it's an iron wall, not Maginot"

"Oh~" Qin Zhibo pretended to have just found out, and nodded suddenly, "Forgive me for not being very good at English."

Conan on the side looked at Qin Zhibo's poor acting skills and couldn't help but think too much.

Poor English?

This might be fine to fool other people, but Conan knew that Qin Zhibo was a language expert proficient in Japanese, English, French, and Chinese.

And except for "Magino", everything else you spoke was obviously in Japanese!

Conan looked up at the two people. One was his favorite football star and the other was his trusted detective. It was really difficult to handle.

Qin Zhibo's hint about sushi just now pointed out that the unscrupulous reporter's message before his death was Ray Katis, who wore the No. 8 jersey on the court.

But even so, Conan still left some room in his heart.

Maybe a coincidence?

Or was it framed?

This possibility is very low, but Conan is willing to believe it.

He couldn't imagine that the football star he had admired for many years, the Ray Katis who fought on the football field, was actually a murderer.

But judging from Qin Zhibo's knowing provocation, Conan also confirmed Qin Zhibo's opinion.

Qin Zhibo is a detective with extremely strong observation and reasoning abilities.

When reasoning about a case, Qin Zhibo will not deliberately do such actions that have nothing to do with solving the case. He is a very pure person.

In other words, Qin Zhibo has determined that Ray Katis is the murderer.

But why?

Why not just tell the truth?

As long as the pre-death information is released and the police conduct a careful investigation of Ray Katis and check the smoke reaction, the murderer should be able to be identified.

Conan's eyes narrowed slightly as his mind recalled the gentle side shown by Qin Zhibo in the last attack on a female idol.

In order not to make Mao Lilan sad, he did not tell the police immediately after learning that Yue Yexue was the murderer.

It was precisely because of Qin Zhibo's "show mercy" that Yue Yexue and Kaoru Kusano settled their differences, and Xiaolan's mood was not affected by this incident.

This time Qin Zhibo also solved the pre-death message at a glance, but he did not tell the police directly, but gave various hints.

Could it be

Does he want me to end it myself?

Conan's eyes widened slightly as he suddenly realized it, and he looked at Qin Zhibo in disbelief.

This is obviously giving yourself a chance.

As a detective, instead of watching others arrest your favorite idol, it is better to personally prove whether the crime against him is true or not.

Thank you.

Conan glared sharply and ran out of the room.

When Hattori Heiji saw Conan running away, he quickly chased after him.

"Hey, Conan"

Unlike Conan, he has nothing to do with football, and he is even less familiar with Ray Katis.

He mainly wanted to ask, since Qin Zhibo had revealed the hints of his message before his death, did this reasoning showdown still count?

When Qin Zhibo saw Conan running away with an extremely serious expression on his face, he also knew that Conan was enlightened.

Since Conan was busy solving the case, Qin Zhibo didn't want to go downstairs. Going down the stairs could easily cause abdominal injuries.

So, Qin Zhibo asked the hotel waiter for a chair, sat quietly in the corridor and drank tea.

Not far away, Lei Katisi was very wary of Qin Zhibo at first.

After all, referring to the "iron wall" as the "Maginot Line" seems to have a certain meaning.

But I was even more surprised when I saw Qin Zhibo suddenly giving up and sitting on a chair drinking tea.

what happened?

Didn't the detective solve the case?

Although Ray Katis didn't know what was going on, the mixed-race detective seemed to have begun to lie down.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the only detective in the room who was still working.

I saw Mouri Kogoro, who was wearing a white suit, holding his chin, still thinking hard about the message before his death.

Suddenly, Mouri Kogoro had an idea and thought of the "answer".

"band"

"3 sang."

"Band-san, that's right! It's Mr. Bando!"

Through transliteration, Kogoro Mouri came up with a very accurate name.

"Very good, just find a person named Bando among the invited guests!"

When Ray Katis heard this answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

try to find!

Let him find enough!

On the contrary, Qin Zhibo, who was listening attentively in the corridor at the door, was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Kogoro Mouri was half-blinded by a strange combination of circumstances.

He got it right, but not completely, which led him to come up with a completely wrong answer.

In fact, sometimes, Qin Zhibo felt that Mouri Kogoro was as wise as a fool and could occasionally hit the right answer.

Even if you don't get the correct answer, you can always get the wrong answer accurately. This is also an ability.

This can also be seen from his rather strange character card with erratic upper and lower limits.

But most of the time, Mouri Kogoro is more than mentally retarded.

On the third floor, Conan and Hattori Heiji came to the room where Ray Katis was responsible for turning on the lights.

In fact, even without Qin Zhibo's prompting, the unscrupulous reporter would have died in the area that Ray Katis was responsible for, and would have been subject to considerable suspicion.

However, because Ray Katis turned off the lights in the room on the third floor first, gunshots soon came from the fourth floor.

This tiny time difference became evidence to exonerate Ray Carter.

If the murderer is Ray Katis, he must find a way to turn off the lights in the room on the third floor on the fourth floor.

What is intriguing is that this third-floor room is facing the stairway leading to the fourth floor, which is a very coincidence.

Hattori Heiji and Conan worked together, and Hattori Heiji, who was tall enough, confirmed whether the light switch in the room had a voice control unit or a timer switch.

Conan rummaged around the room for a while and found nothing unusual.

But when he walked out of the room, Conan glanced at the closet next to the entrance.

Conan was quite impressed by this kind of hotel room wardrobe.

Yusaku and Yukiko came back a while ago and pranked themselves with Dr. Agasa.
