"Who should we pass this message on to?" Eri asked, somewhat puzzled.
It was only then that Yukiko Kudo realized the problem with her words.
She couldn't possibly say that she was relaying the message to Conan, so she could only say:
"Of course I'll tell you, Eri!"
"Is that so?"
Unaware of the truth, Eri Kisaki believed it to be true.
She laughed and joked:
Can I feel happy?
This contains an element of praise.
Passing this hint on to her implies that you trust she can solve the case quickly using it.
In a way, it's praising her intelligence.
Who doesn't like to be praised?
"No, you can't," Yukiko Kudo refused with a smile.
After listening to this conversation, Guangyou couldn't help but sigh:
"Yusaku Kudo's reasoning ability is truly extraordinary."
Of all the people he had ever met, Yusaku Kudo had the strongest reasoning ability.
There is no other.
He had never even been to the crime scene; he only heard the details and known clues over the phone and knew the truth about the timeline.
It has that "armchair detective" feel to it.
If Conan is likened to Sherlock Holmes, then Yusaku Kudo is like Sherlock's older brother, whose deductive reasoning abilities surpass Sherlock's.
—Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft
...
The investigation has been ongoing for a long time, but there are still no results.
Many people were getting impatient.
Among this group was Fujieda Shigeaki.
As the true master of the Fujieda family, she was being asked for rent by a gigolo who had married into the family.
Just like the maids said.
He was not particularly saddened by the death of Fujieda Mikio.
On the contrary, it felt quite pleasant.
Not only because of what happened to him, but also because of his sister who passed away from illness.
I've been in the living room for so long, but there's still no result.
He wanted to go back to his room as soon as possible to continue writing the manuscript that he hadn't finished.
So he asked Inspector Megure:
"Officer, can we go back now?"
Although these individuals are not considered highly suspicious, they have not been completely ruled out as suspects.
Letting a few people leave first would be against the rules.
Furthermore, what if we need to destroy the evidence?
That's why Inspector Megure deliberately pretended to be thinking and temporarily avoided the question.
But this is only a temporary solution.
This problem cannot be completely avoided.
He was thinking about how to get these people to stay obediently in the living room and wait for the investigation results.
Just then, Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu, who had gone out to investigate, pushed open the door to the living room one after the other.
In Inspector Megure's eyes, these two were undoubtedly the saviors who could resolve this situation.
He seemed to have forgotten about that question and asked it proactively:
"Brother Takagi, Brother Chiba, have you discovered anything?"
“The residents in the vicinity all said they didn’t see any suspicious persons,” Takagi Wataru reported the results.
Immediately afterwards, Chiba Kazunobu also reported on the situation on his end:
"The ballistic test results are not yet available."
"Upon comparison, it was found that the bullets used to kill and the bullets used to intimidate the victims were fired from the same gun."
"There is just one very puzzling aspect."
"Of the three bullets removed from the victim's body, one of them had a faint mark on it for some reason."
This conversation was not deliberately kept quiet.
Upon hearing this, Conan became even more certain of his thoughts:
"Kuangyou is right, they did use a silencer."
"That person is the most suspicious."
"The first shot was masked by the use of a silencer and music in the room."
"Then they removed the silencer and fired directly, just so we could hear the gunshots."
"Meet with us again and create your own alibi."
He heard that notification too.
However, with Guangyou's reminder, that hint is no longer needed.
He now knows the truth of the case.
They're just short of finding the culprit.
According to procedure, he was supposed to anesthetize someone.
Then use a voice changer to deduce.
The criminal was finally caught.
But Uncle Mori didn't come today, so this vest can't be used.
His mother happened to be there today...
Just as he was thinking this, a fist "lightly" landed on his head.
He turned his head and saw that it was Yukiko Kudo.
"What are you doing?" Conan asked helplessly.
To avoid being discovered, Yukiko Kudo crouched down and whispered:
"He had an expression that said, 'Only you know the truth about the case.'"
Rubbing his head, Conan said with dissatisfaction:
"What does it matter?"
"Anyway, I already know."
The next second, Yukiko Kudo smiled and covered her mouth with her hands.
Then I heard her say:
"Shin-chan, then hurry up and tell me!"
"Don't you also need a detective character to tell the truth?"
Although Yukiko Kudo didn't say it, Conan immediately saw through her intentions:
"You're not thinking of calling yourself 'Baroness of the Night' again, are you?"
"Then they'll create some grand spectacle, make some dazzling entrance, right?"
Despite Conan's suspicions, Yukiko Kudo responded with a smile:
"Shin-chan, don't worry!"
"I'll solve this in a cool and low-key way this time!"
Although he doesn't quite trust his mother, Conan does need a detective role.
