Today is the engagement party of Kaoru Kusano and Osamu Kenzaki.
Everyone came here because of these two people, so they are the undisputed protagonists today.
The protagonists at general parties or gatherings are the "key targets of attention" in the case.
For example, if one of the couples is cheating on the other, they might choose to kill their partner at a party or ceremony.
For example, a couple is together, and one of them angers the pursuer, so they kill their loved one in revenge, or in order to get their loved one, they kill his or her significant other, etc.
Anyway, no matter what, in the world of science and even in the world of reasoning, the universal law is that the higher the risk of a party, the higher the risk for the relatives, friends, parents, and protagonist of the party.
If you are lucky enough, you may encounter a funeral or a murder besides a happy event, but it is good enough if it does not involve you. As for the psychological trauma, it is nothing compared to your life.
So when Tang Ze heard that they were going to attend a party, it was natural that he could not help but include the two protagonists of today's party as the focus of his attention.
After concentrating his mind, Tang Ze was able to observe a lot of information with his keen insight.
For example, although Kaoru Kusano and Osamu Kenzaki are lovers, the intimacy they show is somewhat unfamiliar.
Take the time when Kaoru Kusano hugged Osamu Kenzaki, for example. The man was completely passive. After his arm was hugged, he seemed to be afraid to move and did not make any movement.
If you hug Tang Ze's arm like Ayako did, he would touch the other person's hand.
Even if they put it down later because the posture is awkward, this brief intimate contact is natural. Sometimes the two people don't even notice it, it is a completely subconscious action.
As for Kenzaki Osamu, apart from hugging her arm, there was no intimate interaction at all. Generally, men take the initiative in physical contact, and Kenzaki Osamu doesn't look like the kind of person who is particularly shy and needs women to take the initiative.
Because he maintained his focused concentration, combined with Tang Ze's insight, micro-expressions, and body movements of both parties, Tang Ze was able to interpret so much information from this short interaction.
Combining this information with the clues he recalled from Kogoro Mori's words, Karasawa basically locked the roles of the couple in his mind to Kenzaki Osamu and Kusano Kaoru, and the victim was naturally self-evident.
Among the remaining four women, it goes without saying that the heroine Xiaolan will never be a suspect (Note 1). In the thousands of episodes that Karasawa has traveled through, even Kudo Shinichi has been considered a murderer, but Xiaolan has never been.
From now on, except for special events, such as the future theatrical version making a fraudulent preview plot that Xiaolan is the criminal for the sake of gimmicks, Xiaolan will basically be "invincible and immune to all sins."
And Yoko Okino only acts as a "case trigger", filling in the case background to guide the protagonist to participate in the case, and then she is useless as a tool
At most, when there are only two suspects, we can make up the number and do the "classic three-choose-one" game.
So after excluding these two,
Only Takeno Yuki and Hoshino Terumi are left.
Having said that, Tang Ze once again turned his attention to the few people who were chatting happily on the side.
"I never thought that, Xiaoxun, you are the youngest among us, but you are the first to get married." Yoko Okino said with great emotion.
"Yeah, I find it incredible too. I always thought that Sister Xiaohui would get married first." Kusano Kaoru said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, I remember you, Huimei, said you seemed to have someone you liked?" Yue Yexue looked at her with a smile, "How's it going? Have you confessed to him?"
"No, nothing has happened..."
Hoshino Terumi slowly exhaled a cigarette and said calmly, "And rather than letting me step into the grave of marriage, it is better to just keep a distance and observe each other... After all, this way my dream will not be shattered..."
"What do you mean by that?" Kusano Kaoru said angrily upon hearing these suggestive words.
"Everyone, 'Detective Samonji' is about to begin..."
At this moment, a man with glasses and freckles on his face walked out from the inner room and said, "Didn't everyone say we should watch it together? Don't miss it..."
"Hmph! I'm going to take a shower so I won't watch anymore!" When Kaoru Kusano saw the other party come out, her face turned cold and she immediately turned around and left, "Call me when you're done watching!"
"Ah...but the food is so hard to prepare...it will get cold soon..." The man heard what Kusano Kaoru said and said in a gentle voice: "Besides, it's rare for everyone to get together for a meal, wouldn't it be more lively this way..."
"You're so long-winded!" Kaoru Kusano seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. She raged, "Didn't I say I wouldn't watch it?! Jianxiong, you're just an agent. What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"Sorry, I'm sorry..." Although the other party got so angry, Jian Xiong was not angry at all. He just said sorry softly and looked at the other party's back with great determination.
And Kaoru Kusano, who was standing by, seemed to have not heard anything at all and walked towards the bathroom. She even ignored Kenzaki's obstruction and closed the door and went into the bathroom.
"It seems to be the same old thing."
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Yue Yexue couldn't help but laugh, "I feel embarrassed to watch a work I've participated in with everyone else... This kind of personality is what's called a tsundere in these popular light novels."
"Yeah, yeah... That's the same reaction we expected..." Okino Yoko echoed her friend, trying to break the awkward atmosphere. "By the way, let's do that now, shall we?"
"Wait... When I heard you say that before, I thought you were joking... Are you really planning to do this for real?" Hoshino Terumi said with a surprised expression.
"Yes, that's right~ That's why I had to ask you to come~" Yoko Okino said with a smile.
"Then we'll go to the living room first. Call us later..."
"Then Yoko, give me a head start~"
Hoshino Terumi held her forehead, seemed to accept the fact, and walked towards the living room with Yue Ye Xue.
As a bystander, Tang Ze saw what had just happened and a confident smile appeared on his face.
The last two pieces of the puzzle are in hand!!
First of all, this agent named Makuma is probably the person that Kusano Kaoru wants to stimulate.
Judging from Kaoru Kusano's sudden temper, this is basically certain.
As for the remaining suspect, Tang Ze had no idea at first.
But after hearing Hoshino Terumi's words of unrequited love, Tang Ze not only did not deepen his suspicion of her, but directly ruled her out!
As a participant of "Conan Encyclopedia" (Note 2), after the other party said that, Tang Ze was immediately triggered to recall some key information of the other party!
Hoshino Terumi's crush is Kudo Shinichi!!
