However, not everyone has this ability and opportunity.

Therefore, when Guangyou thinks, he does so from the perspective of an ordinary person.

But he had only just begun when Doi Kōzō, who had been silent all along, suddenly shouted out the window:

"What are you guys doing there!"

Not only did he shout, he also tried to climb out the window to stop him.

Two police officers were searching the flowerbeds in the courtyard.

They happened to find the location outside the window.

After being seen by Tsuchi-Kouzo, the scene just now occurred.

Tsuchi Kōzō, who was trying to climb out of the window, was stopped by police officers in the living room.

Upon seeing this, Ueki Kusahachi stepped forward and explained:

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"He was a little emotional because it was his late wife's favorite flower garden."

"But..."

The police officers were simply doing their duty.

Knowing this, I was also in a bit of a dilemma.

It was only after Inspector Megure ordered them to end the search that Doi Kozo calmed down.

Having witnessed what had just happened, Yukiko Kudo suddenly stepped forward and asked in an unusual tone:

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Doi is from Kochi Prefecture, right?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the soil and fertilizer plant, which had been ignoring him, suddenly reacted.

He turned his head and glanced at it, a hint of surprise on his face.

Then, Yukiko Kudo added:

"I used to live there!"

This gives Tufei Cultivation a sense of familiarity, like meeting fellow villagers.

He also made no attempt to hide the fact that he lived in Kamimachi, which was not far away at the time.

Upon hearing this news, Yukiko Kudo feigned surprise and said:

"Uemachi, when I lived there I often went swimming in the Kagami River."

The authentic Tosa dialect put Doi Kozo at ease.

He seemed to have forgotten that a murder had occurred, and said with a smile:

"Kagakawa is a very beautiful river in the Kochi area."

"I heard that Sakamoto Ryoma often goes swimming there!"

The two then started chatting.

Chatting was just an excuse; Yukiko Kudo actually wanted to ask some questions.

"It's true what they say, when fellow countrymen meet, their eyes well up with tears," Guangyou couldn't help but exclaim.

He was acting like he was ignoring me just a moment ago.

Upon seeing a fellow villager, his attitude immediately changed.

"Is it Tosa dialect?" Ran blinked, not daring to confirm.

"Could it be that Yukiko was born in Kochi Prefecture?" Eri Kisaki asked, somewhat surprised.

She had previously encountered clients from Kochi Prefecture, who also spoke in the Tosa dialect.

Her accent was basically the same as Yukiko Kudo's at that time.

Conan, with his half-moon eyes showing, subconsciously answered:

"no."

"When she was an actress, she became famous for playing Sakamoto Ryoma's older sister."

"That's when I learned the Tosa dialect."

"She has a talent for languages. She speaks Kumamoto dialect, Tohoku dialect, and Nagoya dialect just like a local."

(Note: This is not the Northeastern dialect of "What are you looking at?" or "What's it to you?")

It is a large regional concept within the territory of Japan.

Located in the northern part of Honshu Island, Japan.

This includes six prefectures: Aomori, Iwate, Akita, Yamagata, Miyagi, and Fukushima.

After saying all this, Conan realized the problem.

So he quickly brought out his own personal information and explained:

"I heard it from Shinichi-nii-san!"

"Huh? Really?"

Although she sensed something was amiss, the important thing at the moment was to solve the case, so Xiaolan didn't press the matter.

She simply said:

"Conan, you and Shinichi are really close."

“He never told me any of these things.”

"Hehehehe..." Conan chuckled awkwardly a few times, without responding.

Once Ran looked away, Kousuke whispered in Conan's ear:

"The murderer might be that butler."

"The evidence should be in his socks."

Upon hearing what Mitsuyu said, Conan forgot all about feeling embarrassed.

After glancing at Kōyū, he shifted his gaze to Ueki Kōhachi.

At this moment, Ueki Kusahachi stood quietly to the side.

His expression was natural, showing no sign of anything amiss.

But that's normal; if someone's expression was abnormal, it would have aroused the police's suspicion long ago.

Then, Conan asked:

Are you sure it's him?

“I’m not sure,” Guangyou shook his head and said, “but I feel like it’s the only one.”

Before Conan could ask, he explained the reason.

He mentioned the possibility of a silencer to Conan, and Conan immediately understood.

But Conan also realized a problem.

Only three shell casings were found, and Fujieda Mikio had only three gunshot wounds.

If we accept Guangyou's explanation, then the previous incident wasn't a shooting.

But if that's the case, why did Fujieda Mikio collapse without any warning?

Regarding this question, Guangyou guessed:

"What if it wasn't a gunshot?"

"After all, we have no evidence to prove that Mikio Fujieda was shot."

"To be precise, we only saw him fall down."

"The shooting hypothesis was proposed by your mother when he raised his hands."

After listening, Conan nodded thoughtfully:

"If that's the case, then it can be explained."

"Although some problems remain unresolved, there are no major logical flaws."

"All we need to know is how he made the victim collapse."

"It's up to you now."

After saying that, Guangyou sat down on the sofa next to him.

He has done everything he was supposed to do.
