Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia did not hold back his praise, and said with a smile, "A very brilliant deduction. You have made great progress, Watson."

Uizawa Tsuneo, who was standing to the side, also realized what was happening and looked at Chen Anxia and Watson, exclaiming in amazement, "Even seeing your reasoning again, I am still amazed by your reasoning."

"Again?" Chen Anxia caught the detail in the words and asked with some curiosity.

Without hesitation, Tsuneo Uizawa explained, "I was right behind you when you boarded the plane."

“Back then, I personally witnessed you determine the identities of these two police officers based on their clothing and behavior, and deduce that their purpose in going to Los Angeles was to extradite international criminals.”

Upon hearing Tsuneo Uzawa's words, the people present, already shaken by Watson's reasoning, were further stimulated and shocked.

In particular, Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

They couldn't imagine how Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng could deduce the purpose of their trip.

This was Hua Sheng's debut performance, and also Chen Anxia's stage.

"Shinichi, Watson is amazing! He's just like the real Dr. Watson!"

After regaining her senses, Ran Mouri looked at Watson with amazement.

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's words, Shinichi Kudo shook his head seriously and replied, "No, Dr. Watson's reasoning ability in the Sherlock Holmes stories is not as strong as this Watson in front of me."

Indeed, Shinichi Kudo, who had read the Sherlock Holmes stories countless times, knew very well that Watson's deductive reasoning ability at this moment far surpassed that of Dr. Watson in the book.

This is actually normal, since Dr. Watson in the book is not a detective, but a doctor and Holmes' assistant.

Ran Mouri was stunned for a moment after hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, and then looked at Watson with even greater amazement.

Ran Mouri knew how much Shinichi Kudo liked Sherlock Holmes, so she had no doubts about what Shinichi Kudo said.

Shinichi Kudo ignored Ran Mouri's expression and looked at Watson with a serious expression.

To be honest, if Chen Anxia had made the deduction, Shinichi Kudo might not have been so shocked.

Shinichi Kudo had personally experienced Chen Anxia's reasoning ability two years ago.

But the one who just made the deduction was Watson, just like Dr. Watson in the book, who followed Chen Anxia and acted as Chen Anxia's assistant.

The fact that Watson possessed such terrifying reasoning abilities, even putting immense pressure on Shinichi Kudo, left him utterly astonished.

Besides that, what bothered Shinichi Kudo the most was Watson's behavior just now.

After finishing his reasoning, the first thing Watson did was to ask Chen Anxia to evaluate his reasoning.

Judging from what Tsuneo Uzawa just said, this was not something Watson did intentionally because of the occasion, but rather it was just their usual routine.

This also means that Chen Anxia may have intentionally cultivated Watson's reasoning ability.

So, from what level could Chen Anxia have cultivated Watson with such reasoning abilities?

Shinichi Kudo didn't know.

But Shinichi Kudo knew that Chen Anxia's reasoning ability was definitely superior to Watson's.

Because Hua Sheng's reasoning was actually Chen Anxia's daily test for him.

As for the answer, Chen Anxia already knew it and had already given it.

Thinking this, Shinichi Kudo felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

Shinichi Kudo felt as if there were two great mountains in front of him, one of which was so high that its peak could not be seen at a glance.

These two towering mountains stood in his path of detective work, making them insurmountable.

However, this only fueled Shinichi Kudo's fighting spirit even more.

Shinichi Kudo believed in himself and vowed in his heart to overcome these two mountains in this case.

On the other side, Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi were also deeply troubled.

They were all amazed, even horrified, by Watson's reasoning, and by the fact that Chen Anxia and Watson had deduced the purpose of their trip through deduction.

Because of this, a thought even arose in their minds: to have Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng take charge of solving the case.

After having this thought, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but lean closer to Inspector Megure and whisper in his ear, "Inspector Megure, their reasoning abilities are so strong, should we ask them to help us solve the case?"

Unlike Wataru Takagi, Juzo Megure, as a police officer in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, knows and thinks about much more.

Megure knew very well that the reason why the Osaka police were in such turmoil two years ago was not only because of the wrongful conviction, but also because of Chen Anxia's actions, which caused the police to lose face and made the public doubt the police's capabilities.

Megure also knew that if he invited Chen Anxia and Watson to help solve the case now, he would definitely be scolded by his superiors when he returned.

This is because it is a tacit admission that the police are inadequate and therefore need to rely on the strength of Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng.

Thinking it over, Inspector Megure's expression turned serious, and he replied softly, "Let's put this matter aside for now. We'll investigate the case ourselves first, and if that doesn't work, then we'll ask them to take action."

Inspector Megure was naturally unwilling to admit his shortcomings, but he was not a pedantic person either.

In Inspector Megure's mind, if he and Wataru Takagi truly couldn't solve the case, then even if he faced reprimands from his superiors upon returning, he would still seek help from Chen Anxia and Watson.

This is Inspector Megure, a police officer with a strong sense of responsibility and justice.

This is why, in the original work, Inspector Megure allows Kogoro Mouri to intervene in cases.

Just as Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi were exchanging quiet words, Amano Tsugumi, who had been struggling with her thoughts, suddenly spoke up, "Actually, I think I've heard Kazuhiro mention this before..."

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing Amano Tsugumi's words, somewhat puzzled.

Only Chen Anxia's gaze sharpened slightly, as if he had realized something, and he looked at Amano Tsugumi with his deep eyes that could see through people's hearts.

Amano Jimei, who dared not meet Chen Anxia's gaze, continued under everyone's watchful eyes, "That time, it was Kazuyo who accidentally revealed to me after getting drunk that he had taken some photos of Chen Anxia."

"The next day, after He Yang sobered up, I asked him out of curiosity. But He Yang's expression immediately changed, and he said that there was no such thing. So I didn't pay any attention to it."

Upon hearing this, Tachikawa Chizuru, who was standing nearby, was taken aback and asked, "Ketsumi, are you telling the truth?"

Noboru Sakunuma said in surprise, "This must be Kazuyo's drunken ramblings. Otherwise, given Kazuyo's personality, if he had really taken such a photo, he would have come to us to show it off long ago."

Upon hearing this, Amano Tsugumi replied, "I don't know."

As she spoke, Amano Tsugumi added seemingly unintentionally, "Perhaps Chen Anxia and He Yang have signed some kind of contract, which is why He Yang is keeping quiet."

If Watson's reasoning was to eliminate Chen Anxia's suspicion, then Amano's words at this moment are undoubtedly increasing Chen Anxia's suspicion.

Chen Anxia knew very well that Amano Tsutomu was doing this on purpose.

Moreover, Amano Tsugumi's approach was also very clever. First of all, she did not say with certainty that this matter existed, because she did not have any evidence to prove its existence.

Amano Tsugumi simply brought up the matter, saying she didn't know either, but deliberately led everyone to think in some possible directions.

In this way, as long as Chen Anxia cannot prove that this matter does not exist, the suspicion against Chen Anxia cannot be cleared for the time being.

That's right, Amano Tsugumi did this not because she really wanted to frame Chen Anxia.

Because, in terms of the time of the crime, Chen Anxia simply did not have the opportunity to commit the crime, a fact that Amano Jimei was well aware of.

As for why Amano Tsutomu did this, it was to prevent Chen Anxia from being cleared of suspicion for the time being.

In the current situation, only suspects who are already suspected in a case are unable to get involved.

Consequently, Hua Sheng, who had a close relationship with Chen Anxia, ​​was naturally unable to get involved in this case.

And that was Amano Tsugumi's true purpose.

Amano Tsutomi, a huge fan of Chen Anxia, ​​is well aware of Chen Anxia's reasoning abilities and is also very afraid of them.

The reason for the fear...

There's no mistake, she's the murderer!

Chapter 383 A Single Sentence, A Thunderclap! (Please Subscribe!)

This time, even Shinichi Kudo noticed something was wrong.

Although Amano Tsugumi's reasons were reasonable, there were still loopholes in them.

The biggest loophole is that Daying and Yanghui kept their mouths shut.

It's worth noting that Da Ying and Yang Lian dared to brazenly boast about their dealings with important US senators, so how could they possibly keep quiet about Chen Anxia's affairs?

Even if they did have a contract, Da Ying and Yang could still boast about it. After all, words are no proof, as long as they don't expose the photos they have.

Moreover, Amano Tsugumi's statement is unsubstantiated.

Amano Tsutomi was unable to provide evidence to prove what she said, and it seemed more like she deliberately put forward this view to increase the suspicion against Chen Anxia.

Thinking it over, Shinichi Kudo fell into deep thought, wondering to himself, 'But why would Amano Tsugumi do this? Isn't she a fan of Chen Anxia? Why would she deliberately exacerbate the suspicion against Chen Anxia?'

'Could she be trying to frame Chen Anxia?'

'But Chen Anxia had no opportunity to commit the crime. Even if she framed him, it only gives Chen Anxia a motive to kill the victim; it cannot be used as evidence that Chen Anxia is the murderer.'

So, what was her reason for doing this? Did she know some inside information? Or did she have a compelling reason to do it?

Ultimately, Shinichi Kudo came to the conclusion, certain in his heart, 'Amano Tsugumi, she is definitely hiding something...'

At the same time, Inspector Megure turned to Chen Anxia and asked, "Chen Anxia, ​​do you have anything to say about this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia calmly replied, "Just as she cannot prove what she said, I cannot prove what she said either."

"But once we get off the plane, the police can investigate the communication records of Da Ying and Yang to see if there are any communication records with me or people around me, and then they will know whether what she said is true."

After a slight pause, Chen Anxia continued, "Even if what she said is true, it only increases my suspicion. Judging from the timing of the crime, it is impossible for me to have killed the victim."

As he spoke, Chen Anxia looked at Megure and asked, "If I say I already know who the murderer is, will the officer let me examine the scene and look for evidence?"

Chen Anxia's words struck everyone present like a thunderclap, leaving them with expressions of shock and disbelief.

The person most shocked by this was none other than Shinichi Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo was well aware that after the incident, Chen Anxia had not entered the crime scene to investigate, nor had he listened to the suspect's statement.

Under such circumstances, with such limited information, and among the four suspects present, how could Chen Anxia possibly deduce who the murderer was?

Not only Shinichi Kudo, but also Juzo Megure and Wataru Takagi knew the ins and outs of it. They found it hard to believe and couldn't imagine how Chen Anxia could deduce who the murderer was under such circumstances.

Even Hua Sheng, who knew Chen Anxia best, was shocked by Chen Anxia.
