In the dim light of dawn, several white, rolled-up objects lay haphazardly on the ground, giving rise to very unsettling associations for those who had just witnessed the murder scene.
And Conan was explaining things to everyone.
"These are substitutes that Uncle Mori asked the police to make based on the weight and height of real people, and they were dropped down from different rooms on the 19th to 21st floors..."
"So it's mimicking the situation at the time of the crime?" Detective Yokomizo was the first to realize.
Upon closer inspection, each of the mannequins made of rolled-up blankets was marked with the room number of the person participating in the "Dark Baron" event.
Moreover, each of the rolled-up quilts landed very close to the bronze knight statue at the main entrance.
Upon closer inspection, sure enough, another dummy had been pierced through the bronze sword held aloft by the knight, just like before.
"So, the thing that landed on the bronze statue must be the quilt roll from Mr. Jiang Yuan's room 2101?"
As Yokomizo walked over, he was surprised to find that the number on it was 1901.
"Is this the room of Mr. Maeda and Ms. Sayama?" he shouted.
"What's going on? Where's the one in Mr. Jiangyuan's room?"
It turned out that the quilt roll labeled room 2101 was found four or five meters away from the bronze statue.
The group returned to the main hall full of doubt, listening to Kogoro's voice explaining the function of "Himekaze".
Under the strong winds blowing at high altitudes, Mr. Jiang Yuan's body would inevitably shift in mid-air as he fell.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to fall from his own room onto the statue.
"In other words, it is very likely that Mr. Jiang Yuan did not fall from the balcony of his own room."
"And the crime scene in his room was deliberately staged by the murderer."
The voice of "Sleeping Kogoro" continued to ring out, and Akechi stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"That child," he asked Yoruichi Toyama, gazing at Conan's figure hidden behind Kogoro's chair, "is he a voice-changing master like you?"
"Actually, it should be said that it's the power of Detective Conan." Yoruichi Toyama smiled and shrugged.
"Just like the equipment he used to take down Mr. Mori just now."
Mingzhi nodded deeply.
"A drug that can instantly anesthetize an adult through intramuscular injection... I can't even imagine what would happen if it fell into the hands of criminals..."
“Then you should be glad,” Yoruichi Toyama replied, “Those devices were probably provided by Conan’s friend, the professor, and didn’t end up on the market.”
And it seems like other people can't use it either...
Science is not something just anyone can master!
Just as everyone was marveling at "Sleeping Kogoro's" reasoning, Akechi turned to them and spoke up.
"However, Mr. Mori's experiment was largely accidental and cannot be taken as evidence."
Kogoro's voice paused for a moment, then he chuckled.
"That's right, this is just an experiment to give everyone a direct understanding."
"However, I had already guided Conan to solve the mystery of the locked room in Mr. Ebihara's room before that."
"The tape residue on the door's security hooks at the scene indicates that the secret room was deliberately faked."
“In that case, Mr. Jiangyuan may not have fallen from his own room, but from any of the rooms currently being tested.”
"However, what Mr. Maeda did became the decisive clue pointing to the real culprit..."
Similar to the reasoning that Akechi had given to Yoruichi Toyama before, Kogoro also identified Satoshi Maeda through the suspicious points of the reappearing "Dark Baron".
And because Maeda Satoshi was trying to divert the police's attention and cover up someone's motive, they deduced that the real culprit was his fiancée, Sayama Akiko.
The two people identified were quite shocked.
Maeda Satoshi had anticipated being recognized, so his actions were full of flaws. Unexpectedly, this became the final link in locking down Sayama Akiko.
And in front of Xiaolan, who was desperately trying to prove his innocence, he couldn't bring himself to say something as irresponsible as "I did all of this."
After a long silence, Akiko Sayama finally burst into a fit of maniacal laughter.
"You foolish man! I never imagined that you would ruin my carefully planned operation!"
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, she readily confessed to her crimes and explained her motive for killing Egawa Tokio.
Jiang Yuan, this programmer, is a despicable person.
Another tourist present, his ex-wife Hideko Kamijou, broke up with him because he repeatedly stole or plagiarized other people's programs.
Three years ago, Akiko Sayama's brother suffered a business crisis after his software "Teaching Research Association," which he had devoted himself to developing, was stolen and released by Ebisu. Ultimately, he committed suicide due to his debts.
Akiko Sayama is determined to take revenge because of this. She pretends to have the "Dark Baron" virus software, poses as an event organizer to lure these people over, and then gets Jiang Yuan drunk and pushes him off the building.
When she heard that the famous detective Kogoro Mouri was also participating in the event, she was worried that she would be exposed. So she dressed up as the "Dark Baron" and pushed Conan from the balcony into the swimming pool, trying to force them to leave early.
"I didn't expect Mr. Mori to be completely unmoved and eventually expose my plan. You could say it was fate."
"I've given up completely," Akiko Sayama said so somberly.
Conan, no longer needing to solve the mystery, stepped out from behind Kogoro Mouri.
"Hey, Conan!" Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but ask him, "Where did you get pushed off from? Why won't you tell me?"
