Conan pointed upstairs with a serious expression.
"It's the balcony on the 19th floor where we live..."
"Luckily, I was afraid that Xiaolan... Uncle would worry, so I didn't say anything. Otherwise, wouldn't the truth of this case have been buried?"
Holy crap! The 19th floor!
What's the difference between falling into a swimming pool from a height of nearly 80 meters and falling directly onto a concrete floor?
How come you're unharmed while I fell into the sea from a 4-meter-high embankment and almost broke every bone in my body?
Oh, you're the main character. Never mind then.
Yoruichi Toyama mentally ranted a bunch of complaints, but didn't say anything more.
Akechi then turned to Akiko Sayama, who was being handcuffed by the police officers, and asked calmly, "Ms. Sayama, do you regret it?"
"Regret?" Akiko Sayama said with a chilling smile, "What do I have to regret? I avenged my brother and killed that scumbag..."
“But your life is completely ruined too,” Yoruichi Toyama couldn’t help but say. “And Mr. Maeda broke the law to protect you.”
Akiko Sayama's shoulders trembled slightly, but she still said firmly, "That stupid man, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been exposed!"
"Hey, Mr. Mori, and officer, do you think my life would have been ruined if it weren't for Maeda's meddling?"
"I can't stand him anymore! I hope we're not put in the same police car later!"
Despite her cold words, those closest to her—Yoichi Toyama, Akechi, and Conan—clearly saw tears welling up in her eyes.
The wise voices were thus softened.
"Don't think that you can live with a clear conscience just because you kill someone and get away with it."
"The weight of life is something that normal human beings cannot bear."
“I have seen many criminals who have committed murder, and no matter how long they have been in hiding, the vast majority of them become surprisingly relaxed the moment they are arrested, as if they have finally been freed.”
"If Conan and Mr. Mori hadn't exposed you today, do you think you would have been able to escape the guilt of murder in the future?"
"Would you marry Mr. Maeda carrying this nightmare, making him marry a murderer?"
"Would you let your brother's spirit in heaven know that his sister has become the same kind of person as the one who drove him to his death?"
"I..." Under Akechi's persistent questioning, Akiko Sayama finally couldn't keep up her gloomy demeanor any longer. She covered her face with her handcuffed hands and burst into tears.
Most of the police officers present breathed a sigh of relief.
Prisoners whose psychological defenses have been breached are much easier to interrogate.
However, a wise voice rang out again.
"Send someone to search Mr. Jiangyuan and Ms. Sayama's room again."
"W-what?" Detective Yokomizo, who was still immersed in the tragic story of Akiko Sayama avenging her brother, was a little confused.
“Wise Inspector, hasn’t the criminal already confessed?”
"That's all thanks to the detective's reasoning," Mingzhi said calmly. "Do you really need to ask someone else to perfect the chain of evidence?"
"If that's the case, I don't think the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Department would need to pay so many people's salaries."
"Let alone Mr. Mori, just Miss Ran and this little Conan are enough to get all of your jobs done..."
Before he could finish his sarcastic remarks, Detective Yokogawa stood at attention, his face flushed, and saluted. He then turned around to assign tasks to his officers.
Satoshi Maeda, who was also handcuffed, chased after Akiko Sayama toward the police car.
The other tourists, having watched the entire mystery show, returned to their rooms with deep emotions, waiting to leave this terrifying murder hotel at dawn.
At this moment, Kogoro Mouri yawned, wobbled up from his chair, and welcomed the praise from his relatives, friends, and admirers.
Conan, who had been constantly under Akechi's watchful gaze, seized the opportunity to run off behind Kogoro.
Like a real little brat.
Akechi glanced at Yoruichi Toyama.
"What a show," he said with a smile and a low voice.
"But what exactly is going on with that child?"
