He was more rational than the other two.

But to be honest, he also felt that Fukuura Reiji was somewhat wronged.

But there's nothing we can do; without evidence, no matter how aggrieved we act, it's useless.

What if he really is the murderer, and his feigned grievance is just a deliberate act?

If appearing aggrieved could clear one of suspicion, then everything would be in chaos.

Beside the three, Kōyū shook his head and muttered to himself, "It seems Inspector Megure still hasn't grasped the key point."

Before the mat was discovered, Inspector Megure's reasoning was reasonable.

Even Conan initially thought so.

However, if we continue to reason in this way after discovering the mat, we will find that the mat was not needed in this case at all.

The initial crime scene was on the roof of a campervan, so there was no need to move the body.

In other words, wrapping the body in a mat would become meaningless and completely unnecessary.

What else can this mat be used for?

I can't do anything.

If it was useless, why did the murderer deliberately take the mat out and let it get stained with blood?

This is clearly illogical.

Moreover, finding this mat in this area is unusual in itself.

This is where they're headed, and the killer knows it too.

Therefore, the murderer could not have left such a thing here.

The only explanation is that the mat was used in the killer's plan.

To put it bluntly, if the deduced method of the crime didn't involve the use of that mat, then the deduction is most likely wrong.

This is exactly the outcome the murderer wanted to see.

It must be said that the murderer was very cunning, had a very good plan, and made very thorough preparations.

However, the murderer still overlooked something crucial, leaving a loophole that was difficult to explain.

After all, the murderer had little experience in this area, and in the heat of the moment, some mistakes were bound to happen.

If it weren't for this loophole, even Conan probably wouldn't have been able to identify the culprit in such a short time.
