There were burn marks on the towel.

Its effects are obvious.

The murderer was probably trying to remove the gunpowder reaction.

Inspector Megure was naturally well aware of these common-sense facts.

Just as he was about to explain his next plan, Eri Kisaki spoke very methodically:

"Officer Chiba, could you please check the gun for the killer's fingerprints?"

"Could you please do a ballistic test as well?"

"Yes." Chiba Kazunobu nodded immediately in agreement.

Then, Eri Kisaki continued:

"Officer Takagi, could you please investigate whether any suspicious individuals have appeared in this area?"

"Yes," Officer Takagi replied immediately.

"Um?"

After they finished responding, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute..." Inspector Megure started to speak.

But he had only uttered half a sentence when Yukiko Kudo interrupted:

"Oh, right."

"Please compare these three bullets with the one that was previously placed under the pillow."

"good."

Although they sensed something was off, the two still agreed.

Seemingly oblivious to Inspector Megure's strange expression, Eri Kisaki continued:

"Inspector Megure, please bring the forensic personnel and come to the living room with me now."

“After the incident, I gathered everyone in the house in the living room.”

"First, check if anyone has a reaction to gunfire, then ask them questions."

After saying that, Eri Kisaki left the study.

"Hello..."

Inspector Megure, who is in charge of this case, feels that Eri Kisaki is the one in charge here.

Although what he said was very logical and it was indeed something that should be done right now.

But he always felt like he didn't have much of a presence.

Everything he wanted to say was said.

“...”

He decided to ignore it.

Solving the case is the priority.

At this moment, Yukiko Kudo said a few words on behalf of Eri Kisaki:

"Inspector Megure, please don't worry about these things."

"Eri is also working very hard to solve the case."

"No matter what, this concerns a huge sum of ten million!"

"Ten million?"

Inspector Megure, unaware of the details, was somewhat puzzled.

But Yukiko Kudo would never say such a thing.

She nodded and immediately changed the subject:

"Hurry up and go to the living room."

"Eri should be waiting too."

"Um."

...

The scene then shifts again.

Inside the firm.

Uncle Mori, tied up like a crab, kept wriggling on the sofa.

It's clear he's trying to save himself.

Uncle Mori had his brows furrowed, and his expression was hard to describe.

He squeezed his legs together, struggling incessantly, while shouting loudly:

Is anyone there?

"I need to use the restroom!"

"I...I can't hold it in any longer!"

At this moment, the thing that Guangyou had worried about happened.

But Uncle Mori's cries for help were destined to go unheard.

...

Everyone in the house underwent a smoke reaction test in the living room.

While waiting for the test results, Kōyū told Conan about his discovery.

"Three times?" Conan frowned.

While in the monitoring room, Mikio Fujieda was shot and fell to the ground.

They heard two gunshots outside the audiovisual room.

Three shell casings were found nearby.

The quantity matches.

If what Kōsuke said is true, then the reason why Fujieda Mikio suddenly collapsed at the beginning cannot be explained.

Even if you're just stretching, you shouldn't fall to the ground and be unable to get up.

However, this is indeed valuable news.

The test results came out quickly.

As expected, no gunpowder residue was detected on anyone.

This outcome was something everyone had anticipated.

So I wasn't too disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, Eri asked everyone to explain what they had been doing from the time the crime occurred until the body was discovered.

During this time, Ueki Kusahachi went to the room to get the key.

Guangyou and the others can all testify to this.

Meanwhile, Fujieda Soka went to call the police and an ambulance.

She stayed in her room until Eri called her to the living room.

This drew criticism and suspicion from Inspector Megure:

"Your husband was shot, and you're still in the room?"

"Shouldn't we go check it out?"

It's normal to have doubts.

No one has seen Fujieda Suka during this period.

Without proof, she is indeed a suspect.

"Because the gunman might still be nearby!" Fujieda Souhi explained.

This reason is reasonable.

Not content with merely defending herself, Fujieda Motoka also said to Inspector Megure:

"Moreover, I saw the scene of Mikio falling down on the screen together with the butler, Mr. Ueki."

"If we're talking about suspicion..."

She turned to look at Fujie Shiranui and said loudly:

"The most suspicious person should be A-Fan, who left the monitoring room before us!"

Although she said that partly because she disliked Fujige Shige.

But what they said was not wrong.

When Fujieda Mikio collapsed, Fujieda Shigeru had already left the monitoring room.

He did have time to commit the crime.

But Conan ruled him out as a suspect:

"It wasn't him."

"He came to the audiovisual room with us."

He was outside when the gunshot rang out.
