At that moment, Guangyou glanced in the direction of the wooden house.
He vowed that if Conan called him again this time, he would go find Conan and have a civilized chat about life and ideals as soon as the case was over.
Fortunately, Conan grasped the right balance. This time, it was his turn to deduce: "We can use the tree. As long as Mr. Kondo jumps down from the observation deck first, puts Mr. Hirai on that tree, and then pushes Mr. Hirai down after he has safely climbed down."
