All of the previous discussions were just Guangyou's speculations, or rather, his wild ideas. Without evidence, no one can draw any conclusions.
If Guangyou's idea is wrong, that's fine, but if he guesses right, it will provide some clues for solving the case.
Solving cases isn't about how difficult they are, but about having no ideas or direction. It's exactly the same as solving math problems; if you don't have a plan, you can study for a year and still not solve it.
Even if this approach turns out to be wrong in the end, at least it was put into practice.
Conan had already run to the bathroom, ready to tell Inspector Megure their guesses.
Considering the inaccuracy of his guess, Conan didn't tell the truth, and only revealed half of the information, mentioning that the man had called the deceased.
As for the bankbook, Conan plans to put it in a conspicuous place so that the police can find it themselves, so that Inspector Megure won't drag him out again.
After listening to the information provided by Conan, Inspector Megure nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Takagi, "Takagi, take a few people and investigate the nearby music stores... and don't forget the restaurants or cafes with pianists."
"yes!"
After giving a strong and energetic reply, Takagi led several police officers to conduct an investigation in the vicinity.
Having achieved his goal, Conan made up an excuse to leave the vicinity of the bathroom. He wanted to search a little longer to see if he had missed any clues.
Meanwhile, Kōyū couldn't just sit on the sofa waiting for the police to close the case; he was currently searching for clues on the second floor with Ai.
His investigation focused on Yuri Kuroki's bedroom, or more accurately, the bedroom of the Kuroki couple. However, since Kenji Kuroki was usually not home, this bedroom was basically used only by Yuri Kuroki.
The room wasn't very big. There was a double bed in the middle, a flat-screen TV on a cabinet opposite the bed, and a dressing table next to the TV with some cosmetics on it.
The drawer under the dressing table was open, and Guangyou knew without a doubt that this was Conan's doing; the bankbook must have been found in this drawer.
Standing in the somewhat messy room, Ai looked around and asked, "Is there anything else we need to look for?"
Without looking up, Kōyū, who was searching for clues, replied, "Keep looking, maybe Conan will miss something."
Upon hearing this, Ai decided to stay in the room to help Kousuke search for clues. Just as she was about to begin, her gaze was drawn to the photo hanging on the wall above the bed.
The people in the photo weren't the main point; it was just that the theme of the photo was somewhat unusual, and it was this theme that made her imagine some scenes.
"Ai, what's wrong?" As soon as Kōyū turned around, he saw Ai standing there in a daze. Following her gaze, he also saw the photo hanging on the wall, and then he smiled.
The sudden laughter snapped Ai out of her reverie. Seeing Kōyū standing beside her, she hesitated for a moment before exclaiming, "This outfit is quite nice."
Looking at the photo, Guangyou said seriously, "You look even better in it. Sooner or later, you'll be dressed like this, arm in arm with me in a suit."
Ai was very satisfied with this reply. Thinking about the important matter at hand, she smiled and urged, "Alright, alright, let's continue looking for clues."
"oh."
Kwang-yu originally wanted to continue, but she skipped over the topic.
However, judging from her expression...
Does this count as agreeing?
...
Unfortunately, Kouyu and Ai didn't find any useful clues in Yuri Kuroki's room, so they moved to another place to continue searching.
This time, they searched Kuroki Tetsuya's room. Kouyu didn't have high hopes for this room; he didn't think there would be any clues inside, so he just went in for a quick look.
At this moment, Ai stood in front of Tetsuya Kuroki's desk, looking at the photo album spread out on the table, and sighed, "No wonder that child wanted to hire a detective."
Hearing this, Guangyou also stepped forward for a look, then nodded in agreement: "You can tell at a glance that this family used to be quite happy, what a pity..."
The photo album was spread out and filled with old photos of the Kuroki family, taken on lush grass, at the beach, or in an amusement park. No matter the location, the smiles on the faces of the family of three always looked so happy.
The happy smiles of the three people in the photo reminded Ai of some past events. She murmured, "Actually, I'm quite envious of him. After all, he enjoyed it for a while, while I..."
At this point, Ai paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Never mind, everything is different now..."
Upon hearing the first half of Ai's sentence, Kōyū thought she was being sentimental again, so without hesitation he opened his arms and hugged Ai into his embrace, saying softly, "But you have me, silly girl."
"Don't worry...didn't you hear the second half of what I said?" Ai sighed, but a warm feeling washed over her at the same time. "Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think, especially since I'm..."
"Besides, I have you by my side now..."
She spoke very softly, but because they were close, Guangyou heard her clearly. Hearing this, he felt a weight lifted from his heart.
She said she wasn't as fragile as he thought, and Kōyū agreed, but that just meant she wasn't that fragile. The word "strong" was still a long way off for her. After all, Ai was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
