“Kuyoshi is right.” Dr. Agasa continued to play his role as a “tool”.

Meanwhile, Conan, hiding behind Professor Agasa, continued to use his bowtie-shaped voice changer to deduce the truth:

"After murdering Miss Tai Mei, the killer used that knot to wed the tassel decoration in the gap of the skylight..."

"This was used to secure the body to the roof of the car, making her body arched into a 'ku' shape."

"The reason why the murderer opened the skylight before killing Ms. Tai Mei was to make the crime plan go more smoothly."

"A little smoother?" Inspector Megure thought for a moment and then understood what he meant.

Indeed, doing so would make the process simpler.

It saves a lot of trouble and also saves a lot of time.

This also means that the probability of being discovered by others will be much smaller.

The worst thing about doing this kind of thing is getting caught.

If discovered, you either have to kill the person immediately, bring them to your side, or just watch helplessly as they run to the police.

Both are troublesome.

Therefore, if you can avoid being discovered, then don't let anyone find out.

Since this campervan does not have a remote sunroof control, the only sunroof switch is located in the driver's seat.

So if they didn't do that, after killing Shirafuji Yasumi on the roof, the murderer would have to climb down to the driver's side and open the sunroof.

After opening the sunroof, the murderer would have to climb onto the roof of the car again, stuff the knot into the gap, and then come down to close the sunroof.

After so many steps, this is finally the end.

This process is undoubtedly troublesome and very time-consuming.

Not only is climbing up and down difficult, but the chances of being discovered are also greatly increased.

The campervan is right next to the campsite. If it gets discovered by someone, all that setup will be for nothing.

“I understand.” Inspector Megure suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to the three suspects, and asked, “If I remember correctly…”

"I remember you said that the first time you passed through here, you opened the skylight to watch the fireworks..."

"Excuse me, who opened the skylight?"

The entire campervan has only one switch to control the sunroof.

Based on this method, the murderer is likely the person who opened the skylight, or the person who had someone else open the skylight.

Reiji Fukuura also realized this.

He did not hide it, because he knew that hiding it on such a matter would be very suspicious.

This behavior would be asking for trouble, so he didn't hesitate and confessed directly.

"If you're asking who opened the sunroof, then of course it was me, the one who was driving," Fukuura Reiji said, before abruptly changing the subject.

"However, it was Qinghua who asked me to open the skylight."

“This…” Haruka Tendo quickly explained, “I just wanted to share some wonderful memories from last year with everyone.”

"Because that's the only place where you can see the fireworks, and the time is very short, that's why I asked Reiji to open the skylight."

This reason is perfectly reasonable, and Inspector Megure can completely understand it.

It's perfectly normal to share beautiful scenery, delicious food, or other wonderful things you see with your friends.

Like him, if he finds out which restaurant is good, he will make a point of taking his wife there for a meal.

but...

At that moment, Inspector Megure thought of another possibility.

If the murderer had anticipated that someone would open the skylight...

The situation is different then.

This is double insurance.

First level:

The prisoners deliberately left tire tracks on the mountaintop and damaged the fence, creating the illusion that someone had accidentally rushed over the fence and fallen down.

In fact, this alone could fool many people; even he initially thought it was an accident.

It was only after so many suspicious points were discovered that doubts began to arise.

Without Conan and Mitsuyu's reminder, suspicious points might have been discovered during the subsequent investigation, but at the time, the case would likely have been classified as an accident.

By then it will be too late; the murderer will have plenty of time to escape or cover up their tracks.

For example, that mat; if the murderer had the time, he could have easily disposed of it.

Anyway, this area is a forest, so it's quite simple to deal with; just find a place to bury it.

No one could find out.

Second level:

If someone discovers something suspicious and knows it was murder, not an accident.

The murderer would use a pre-arranged backup plan to shift the blame onto someone else, ideally making someone else take the fall for him.

In most people's minds, if all clues point to a certain person, and that person has ample opportunity to commit the crime, then...

Then this person is basically the murderer, no doubt about it.

If a person cannot produce evidence to clear their name, then whatever they say will be seen as mere sophistry by others.

It's all to excuse myself.

Throughout history, many people have been wronged.

Even in modern times, this situation has occurred.

Even the courts have made mistakes.

Some people end up in jail because they can't produce evidence, and the real culprit is too well-prepared, leading all the evidence to point to them.

This case is similar to that.

The murderer first faked an accident, and if the truth came out, he would use the backup plan he had made to frame someone else during the subsequent investigation.
