As he ran down the mountain, Guangyou also observed his surroundings.

If everything goes as he thinks, then the thing should have fallen nearby.

The campervan shouldn't be too far away.

As he expected, after running about fifty meters, Guangyou found the thing on the guardrail by the roadside.

“Found it.” Guangyou squatted down in front of the railing, looking at the mat hanging on it, and said, “This is it.”

With this mat as an aid, the method he had just conceived could be implemented.

The suspect has changed from being almost certainly Reiji Fukuura to any of the three.

There was a very obvious bloodstain on the mat, which proves that the mat is related to the case.

Conan, who had followed, also crouched down, looking at the mat in the light of his flashlight, and exclaimed:

"I never expected that I would almost fall into the trap set by the murderer this time."

"It's not your fault. This murderer is quite cunning; he made two preparations beforehand." Guangyou didn't use this opportunity to tease Conan, after all, he had almost been fooled himself.

If it weren't for that mysterious intuition, he might have thought the timing was an accident, or that Fukuura Reiji was the murderer.

There's a Chinese idiom, "the pot calling the kettle black," meaning that the two of them almost fell into a trap set by the criminals, so there's nothing to joke about.

"If it weren't for Ayumi's words, we probably would still think Fukuura Reiji was the murderer," Mitsuhiro said slowly.

“Yes,” Conan nodded in agreement, then added, “However, all three of them could do that…”

“So we can’t completely rule out Fukuura Reiji as a suspect yet,” Mitsuyu added.

At this point, Takagi caught up with the two.

Seeing that the two of them were squatting on the ground, Takagi asked, "Kuyou, Conan, have you two discovered something?"

He sent a message to Inspector Megure, which caused him to be a little delayed; otherwise, he should have arrived here before Conan.

"Hmm." Kōyū stood up and nodded to Takagi. "I've discovered something related to the case."

“We found a mat with bloodstains on it,” Conan explained.

Even if the two of them hadn't said anything, Takagi had already seen the mat.

However, he was still somewhat surprised after hearing what the two said.

“A blood-stained mat!” Takagi quickly stepped forward to confirm, and said with a serious expression, “This matter must be reported to the inspector as soon as possible.”

The case has been classified as murder, but there are no clues to identify the killer.

The identity of the murderer remains a mystery.

New discoveries mean they are one step closer to solving the mystery.

Although Takagi didn't know what role the mat played in the case.

After saying that, Takagi gripped the spot on the mat that wasn't stained with blood with both hands, got up, and walked towards the campervan.

Kouyu and Conan followed behind him.

"Unfortunately, we haven't found any evidence to confirm the culprit's identity yet," Conan said to Mitsuyu as they walked.

"Mm." Kōyū nodded.

"We can only observe their reactions using that mat," Conan said with some regret.

This method isn't very reliable, but given the current lack of a clear identity for the murderer, we have no choice but to give it a try.

There's nothing we can do about it.

...

"What? A pad stained with blood?" Inspector Megure was somewhat surprised, then his expression turned serious.

He certainly knew that the mat was related to the case.

At this moment, Inspector Megure wondered what role the mat played in this case.

Based on his many years of experience as a police officer, this mat was probably used to move a body.

The body was wrapped in a mat to move it without attracting attention.

The bloodstains on the mat were probably there at that time.

But what exactly happened still needs further investigation.

“Yes.” Takagi nodded, his expression the same as Inspector Megure’s, and said seriously, “This mat is hanging on the railing about fifty meters down from here.”

"I understand," Inspector Megure nodded in response.

“Hey, isn’t this the mat we used to use when we went camping?” Fukuura Reiji recognized it at a glance.

He knew this mat all too well.

They used this mat when they went camping before.

"These are your mats?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure turned to Reiji Fukuura and said, "Could you all come over and confirm this?"

“Of course,” Fukuura Reiji replied.

Takuto Ii and Haruka Tendo, who were sitting in the car, also heard this, and then the two of them got out of the car with Reiji Fukuura.

The three surrounded Inspector Megure, while Mitsuyu and Conan observed their expressions from the side.

“Yes, this mat is ours.” Fukuura Reiji confirmed again.

“Yes, it is indeed ours.” Iihe Takuto stepped forward, took a closer look, and said, “Because there is a hole in it, we haven’t used this piece recently.”

"But how could it be there?" Haruka Tendou wondered.

Meanwhile, Mitsuyu and Conan were having a discussion.

"This won't do. None of these three people have shown any particular reaction," Conan said, frowning. "I can't figure out who the murderer is."

However, he was not disappointed by this, he just felt it was a bit troublesome.
