The group returned to the monitoring room.
Upon reviewing the surveillance footage from the time of the incident, Inspector Megure spotted Tsuchio Kozo squatting among the flowers, busy at work.
However, after the incident, Soo-fei Kōzō disappeared from the surveillance footage.
All you could see was the beam of the flashlight shining back and forth.
The house does have surveillance cameras installed, but not many.
Therefore, Inspector Megure said regretfully:
"If every room had surveillance cameras installed..."
"When? Where? Who did what? It will all be clear at a glance."
However, this is not possible due to privacy concerns.
After all, this is just at home.
However, these surveillance videos are not entirely useless.
However, some very useful information can still be deduced from it.
Looking at the surveillance footage, Yukiko Kudo said:
"However, judging from this surveillance footage, it is unlikely that an outsider committed the crime."
"And the possibility of internal crimes has increased considerably."
She also explained:
"Because there are clearly so many surveillance cameras in this house."
"But we didn't capture any suspicious figures at all."
“This way, we can narrow down the suspects to people who know the location of the surveillance cameras,” Eri Kisaki added.
After listening, Inspector Megure nodded in agreement:
That's right.
The only remaining suspects were the maids.
However, the maids were always in pairs when the incident occurred.
Therefore, Eri Kisaki made a suggestion:
"How about we narrow down the suspects by looking at their motives?"
“Yes,” Yukiko Kudo echoed, “those maids might know something.”
"Um... you two..." Inspector Megure felt like he had very little presence.
Before he even got involved, the two of them had already arranged everything.
But it's alright, solving the case is the priority.
...
"Oh, right, Conan."
As if she had discovered something new and interesting, Ran asked Conan with some surprise:
Why are you being so well-behaved today?
“You used to be almost always running around on location.”
"This... um, yes!"
Not knowing how to explain, Conan could only respond to Ran like this.
He actually wanted things to be the same as usual.
However, Eri Kisaki and her mother were quite capable and said everything he wanted to say.
So he had nothing to do.
He doesn't have ADHD, so he's just like this now since he has nothing to do.
"It's rare to see your presence so weak," Guangyou teased softly with a smile.
This kind of situation is quite rare.
In the past, Conan was usually one of the most noticeable characters.
He ran around the crime scene, discovering all sorts of evidence.
Then, just like reading a script, you connect all the clues, deduce the truth, and catch the murderer.
Today, with Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo present, he said everything he wanted to say.
Otherwise, he would definitely still be running around asking questions.
Conan was also quite helpless.
He shrugged and said:
What can I do?
"They've said everything I wanted to say, what else can I say?"
Although reasoning is not what Yukiko Kudo is best at.
But at least she has a husband who is a world-renowned mystery writer.
Having been exposed to this environment from a young age, their reasoning ability naturally wouldn't be weak either.
Her title of "Baroness of the Night" is well-deserved.
Eri Kisaki is also good at reasoning.
Perhaps not as good as Conan, but definitely not bad either.
The case is relatively simple, and much of the information is obvious.
Therefore, the two did not encounter any difficulties.
But it must be said that this case does indeed have a strange air about it.
Especially after hearing Guangyou say that the gunshots may have been fired three times, not just twice.
Conan lowered his head and pondered as he recalled the details of the case and the clues he had discovered.
He walked out of the monitoring room while pondering the problem.
Xiaolan and Guangyou followed behind him and went out as well.
...
After watching the surveillance footage, everyone returned to the living room.
Following their previous idea, Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo began questioning the maid.
The question was very direct.
Ask the maid directly which of the four people had a conflict with Fujieda Mikio, or who hated Fujieda Mikio the most.
The maids often gathered together to chat during their breaks.
I know a lot of information.
One of the maids said that the person who hated Fujieda Mikio the most was the butler, Ueki Kusahachi.
Because Fujieda Mikio had forced him to clean a warehouse that had long been unused and was covered in dust.
This triggered his asthma attack, which hasn't subsided yet.
Some maids said it was Fujieda Shigeru.
The maid said:
"Even if the master inherits all of the lady's estate."
"But Young Master Fan originally grew up in this house."
"This house is his home."
"But the master actually had the nerve to charge Young Master Fan rent."
Upon learning of this, he suddenly remembered that Fujieda Shigeru had previously said that he was a "tenant living under someone else's roof".
He didn't quite understand at the time.
Now I finally understand.
This reason also made Guangyou think to himself:
"If it were me, I would definitely retaliate."
He lives in the house where he grew up.
However, a young man who married into the family inherited the estate and then demanded rent from him.
If he didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be Guangyou.
Besides Fujieda Shigeaki, Fujieda Soka is also a suspect.
