Conan's other self

"Four...should be enough, right?"

In the corridor, Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai each carried two adjustable table lamps that they found from the house.

"That's enough," Fengyuan replied, "She only used it for a small amount of time."

The "she" in this sentence obviously refers to Kudo Yukiko.

"Speaking of which, I probably understand," Haiyuan Ai returned thoughtfully with Feng Yuan to the living room where everyone gathered, "Your reasoning ability and calmness come from your father, and your pushiness and acting skills come from you. It’s inherited from my mother…”

"Hey, how can I be so pushy?"

"Ah, I'm very impressed," Haibara Ai listed them one by one, "The time I met the blue castle while camping, the time I bumped into a kidnapper while watching an animal show, and the time I watched a football match a few days ago... you all said I made some superfluous remarks and gained quite a bit of limelight..."

"That time in the middle was just to attract the other person's attention..."

Feng Yuan defended in a low voice, how can something that attracts attention be counted as the limelight?

"Really?" Haibara Ai was noncommittal, "I think you are actually the same as Edogawa. The difference is that you have suppressed your desire to be in the limelight..."

The living room arrived quickly.

Inside the house, Fei Yingli was questioning everyone, and the Mumu Police Department was watching.

Except for the delighted Kudo Yukiko, only Conan looked at them speechlessly, and no one else noticed that they came in with anything.

Maplehara and Haibara Ai put their things in the corner, and Kudo Yukiko whispered to them. After a while, another police officer walked into the living room.

"Police department!" the police officer shouted as soon as he walked in the door, "We caught the suspicious man wandering around the yard!"

"What!?"

This is a major clue, and the police department is a little surprised.

The police officer stepped aside, revealing the suspicious figure who followed behind him. The man said nothing.

"Well, he is Mr. Tufei, the gardener..." Xiaolan explained helpfully.

"Gardener? But it's too dark even for pruning flowers and trees..."

"..."

"That's how it started..." the police officer who just came in said, "If you ask him, he won't say anything..."

"Because tomorrow is the birthday of the deceased ex-wife..." Seeing that Mr. Doi still didn't speak, Xiaolan continued to help explain, "Mr. Fan told us that he is maintaining this yard with special care..."

"And he shouldn't be a criminal. When Mr. Mikio was killed at two minutes past eight o'clock, he was in the yard far away from the audio-visual room."

"Ah?" Police Department Memu looked at Fei Yingli who was speaking.

"It was all captured on surveillance. I also asked him to come here, but he was immersed in pruning and didn't come over," Fei Yingli said, "It is said that seeing is worth seeing, do you want to take a look? The video tapes are all saved..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a slight click sound, and then the lights in the living room went out, and the place fell into darkness.

"what happened?"

Police Department Memu asked subconsciously.

Judging from the sound, it was obvious that someone pressed the switch and turned off the light. Everyone looked towards the light switch at the door.

Then the next moment, the light from several desk lamps placed along the arc gathered together, like a spotlight, illuminating a beautiful figure.

"That's right!" Under the illumination of the light, Kudo Yukiko slowly took off the necklace around her neck and shook her long hair. "The prisoner used surveillance to deceive us, making us think that Mr. Mikio was caught outside the window. threatened with a pistol and then shot..."

"Y-Yukiko?"

"But it's a pity..." Kudo Yukiko pretended not to hear the surprised and confused shouts from the Megure Police Department, and continued, "This cannot be hidden from the detective's eyes..."

"...This is about the reputation and dignity of my Baroness of the Night..." Kudo Yukiko paused, "!"

"..."

The living room was quiet for a moment.

Then there was another soft click.

As a detective assistant, Maplehara helped turn on the lights again. Haibara Ai calmly disconnected the power strip used to power the desk lamp and put it on the ground.

Conan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Although he had guessed it, it was still too shameful. Even if he was just looking at it now... he didn't know where these two guys found so many lights...

"Ahem."

The performance seemed to be too good. No one on the stage spoke, so there was no praise. Kudo Yukiko had no choice but to clear her throat to wake everyone up.

"Yukiko, are you..." Fei Yingli was a little surprised.

"Already know who the prisoner is?" Xiaolan followed, also a little shocked. I've just finished asking, it's too fast. As expected of Shinichi's mother, she's really amazing...

"Yes, I totally understand!" Kudo Yukiko gestured OK to everyone.

"So, what did the prisoner do?"

"You just said it was surveillance...could it be because of this?"

Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi also reacted.

"The deception started a long time ago," Yukiko Kudo shook her index finger proudly, "When the prisoner placed the two notes and empty bullet casings under Mr. Mikio's pillow, he had already misled us... to make us think that the prisoner Planning to shoot with a pistol..."

"But, Hi's lawyer said that Mr. Mikio was held up by a gun and raised his hands..." The Megure Police Department looked between Hi Eri and Kudo Yukiko, "Isn't that right?"

"It's like this, we all saw it," her mother seemed to be suspected, Xiaolan quickly helped to speak, "right, Conan?"

"Um, um..." Conan responded awkwardly when he was suddenly mentioned.

"It does look like that," Yukiko Kudo glanced at Conan whose scalp was numb with a half-smile, "Did you notice, Police Department, the book Mr. Mikio was reading before he was killed was still properly folded and made a bookmark? Where is the rope used..."

"In other words..."

"Usually, the rope is clipped to the finished page of the book... Would a person holding a gun still perform such leisurely movements?"

"Indeed, indeed..."

"If it were the police department, what would you do when you want to take a breather after reading a book?"

"Well, turn your head, move your shoulders, tap your waist, etc... and then stretch..."

Megure Police Department and Officer Takagi performed a series of actions in coordination, and then they were both stunned for a moment, "Hey, hey... could it be..."

"Yes! Mr. Mikio raised his hands, it was not because he was held back by the pistol, he just stood up and stretched after sitting for a long time!"

"Ah haha... don't talk nonsense," Soka Matsueda sat on the side and retorted, "And Mikio also collapsed because he stretched?"

"It's not a problem of stretching, but a problem caused by sitting for a long time..." Yukiko Kudo explained, "There are people like this. After sitting for a long time, if they stand up, they will become confused or their eyes will turn black...

That is a phenomenon caused by people who have been sitting for a long time suddenly standing up, and the cardiovascular load is overloaded, so the blood pressure and pulse suddenly drop..."

"But this time is too accurate..."

"There is this kind of medicine, and its name is..."

Kudo Yukiko paused and realized that she had forgotten her words.

However, she was well prepared and immediately pulled Hui Yuan Ai next to her and held her in her arms, "Let my little assistant teach you some science!"
