Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Then they told Inspector Megure their plan.

They then returned to the murder scene.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Hattori Heiji said as he brought Inspector Megure to the scene.

"You kid, you actually already know who the murderer is?" Kogoro Mouri said in surprise.

"Ah."

"We already know who the murderer is." Hattori Heiji said seriously.

"Who?" asked Morizono Yurie.

"The one who first killed Uncle Shigematsu, then turned this place into a secret room, and finally escaped easily was you, Mr. Sakuraba." Hattori Heiji said, pointing at Sakuraba Yuji.

"What!" Everyone was shocked and shouted in unison.

"Impossible, Mr. Sakuraba would never kill anyone." Katagiri Kaede said to Sakuraba Yuji.

"I can't believe it." Morizono Mikio turned his head to look at Sakuraba Yuji and said in disbelief.

"Let me ask you, how do you explain the method used in this closed room murder case?" Kogoro Mouri turned his head and asked.

"Of course." Hattori Heiji began to describe the method of killing.

Basically, it is to use a thin rope with a piece of tape attached to it, tie a looped knot on the other end of the tape and then hang it on the door lock.

The thin rope passes through the hole on the glass, and someone can hide behind the door and lock it by simply pulling it lightly.

It is also very easy to recover. Just pull the rope hard and it will come out of the hole.

"And there are traces of blood-stained gloves on the door lock," Hattori Heiji reasoned.

"Yes, there is indeed blood on it." The appraiser next to him nodded.

"Since there is a hole, the police will find out immediately if they investigate," said Kogoro Mouri.

"That's why Mr. Sakuraba punched Mr. Kikuto, just to break the hole in the glass." Hattori Heiji said.

"That's because Kikuto's words were too harsh." said Morizono Yurie

"Whatever the reason, it will be the same because Mr. Sakuraba will always be on the lookout for opportunities to break the glass."

"However, unfortunately, the cave has been preserved," said Hattori Heiji.

"But even so, we can't be sure that it was Sakuraba who killed someone." Morizono Mikio said in confusion.

"Then please think carefully. The murderer escaped from this balcony to the bottom. As for whether he can escape easily, just let Officer Takagi help demonstrate it." Hattori Heiji continued.

"Hi." Officer Takagi tied a rope around his waist and flipped over.

"How is it, Brother Takagi?" Several people walked to the windowsill and looked down at Takagi Wataru, and Officer Megure shouted.

"It's much simpler than I thought. Anyone with a little skill can flip it down." Officer Takagi said, looking up and waving from the second-floor window sill.

"So it's impossible for Mr. Morizono, who has a weak leg, to do such a difficult task."

"It's even more impossible that Katagiri Kaede and Ms. Morizono haven't practiced karate."

"None of them can do it, let alone Mr. Kikuto who is afraid of heights."

"The only one left is Mr. Sakuraba, who is very agile and can even climb trees and catch cats."

"You are the only one who has this possibility." Hattori Heiji reasoned one by one.

"In other words, after you kill Shigematsuki here, use the same method you just used to lock the floor-to-ceiling window. Then jump from here to the second floor, and then return to the scene pretending nothing happened." Hattori Heiji pointed at Mr. Sakuraba and said.

"No, it definitely wasn't me." Sakuraba Yuji shook his head. He was clearly looking for a cat with Katagiri Kaede at that time.

"I didn't kill anyone at all." Yuji Sakuraba said trembling all over.

"That's right, Mr. Sakuraba would never kill anyone." Katagiri Kaede suddenly said loudly.

"Huh?" Several people asked in confusion.

"Because, because when he heard that scream, he was actually with me." Katagiri Feng said courageously.

Everyone present looked at Katagiri Kaede in shock.

Love is a light, so green that it makes you panic.

Xingchen thought to himself, this is expected, but I didn’t expect she would dare to say it out loud.

If it had been like this from the beginning, there wouldn't have been the tragedy we're experiencing now.

"Is this true?" Officer Megure asked in surprise.

"Yes, the two of us have been walking around the house looking for the cat."

"If that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier?" Officer Megure asked puzzledly.

"Because she doesn't want others to know about their relationship." Hattori Heiji explained for them.

"Relationship?" Inspector Megure looked at Hattori Heiji and asked in confusion.

"They are both wearing the same pendant, which clearly proves that their relationship is unusual," Hattori Heiji pointed out.

"I see, you two are a couple."

"So, you thought of killing Mr. Shigematsu because Mr. Shigematsu and Mr. Morizono mentioned this marriage to ruin your relationship." Kogoro Mori understood everything instantly and said.

"No, it's definitely not me." Sakuraba Yuji took a step forward and shouted.

"Let's go to the police station first if you have anything to say."

"Please wait a moment, I was really, really with him at that time." Katagiri Feng stepped forward and said anxiously.

"I'm very sorry, the testimony of anyone who has a close relationship with the suspect cannot be used as a reference," Officer Megure refused.

"What." Katagiri Feng said in despair.

"Okay, take the person away." said Officer Megure.

"Yes." Takagi Shigeru, who had crawled back at some point, nodded.

"It's not me, I didn't kill anyone, please believe me. I really didn't kill anyone, I really didn't!" Sakuraba Yuji turned around and was taken away by Takagi Shigeru and shouted at them.

"Mr. Sakuraba, Mr. Sakuraba!" Katagiri Feng couldn't help crying when he saw Sakuraba being taken away.

"Come, wipe your tears." Morizono Kikuto took out a handkerchief and walked to Katagiri Kaede and said, "Actually, I've been waiting for this moment."

"I am willing to wait until you forget that man." Kikuto Morizono said affectionately when he saw Katagiri Kaede turning his head.

"How disgusting." Xingchen touched his arms and whispered in disgust.

"I really didn't expect that Sakuraba would kill Shigematsu." Morizono Mikio said, leaning on a cane.

"I can't believe it either." Yuri Morizono shook her head.

"Even if you can't believe it, this is the fact." Hattori Heiji said, leaning against the door frame.

"He killed the good old man Shigematsu-san. He is just a murderer in human disguise."

"Heiji..." Toyama Kazuha always felt that there was something wrong with Hattori Heiji's reasoning this time.

"I think, as long as the murder weapon and those things are found, the murderer will confess his crime." Hattori Heiji said.

"Ah, you said you haven't found the murder weapon yet." Kogoro Mouri said with some disbelief.

"We'll take our leave now. We'll continue the search for the murder weapon tomorrow." Officer Megure walked up to Mikio Morizono and led the team away after speaking.

"In that case, it's almost time for us to say goodbye." Kogoro Mori also stepped forward and said to Mikio Morizono.

"But, uncle, it's so late now."

"How about we just spend the night here?" Conan said with his head in his hands.
