Yoko Shinide said that her mother-in-law is old and she can't take care of such a big house by herself, so she wants to hire someone to help as a maid.

She then mentioned Chiaki, who is Tomoaki Aida's biological mother.

He also said that Qianjing was the only one who took care of the family before.

Gao Mushi suddenly asked: "Then where is the old man's room?"

She pointed on the map and roughly said that Grandma Xinde's room was the largest room on the second floor past the kitchen, and the maid Xiaoguang's room was right next to it so that she could take good care of Grandma Xinde.

Conan supported his hands on the table and looked at them in deep thought for a while. He just sorted out the clues and speculations given by Xingchen and combined them with his own understanding.

Indeed, only the crucial evidence has yet to be found.

Conan raised his hand and suggested, "In that case, Officer Megure, let's show everyone what they do when the power goes out."

"That's true." Inspector Megure nodded and said, "It's a good idea to do this now while the memory is still fresh."

"Then let's go call everyone over." After saying that, Conan took Xingchen's arm and ran out.

.....

"Hey, you seem to be quite familiar with bandaging." Tomoaki Shinide said when he saw Mouri Ran's skillful bandaging technique.

"Yes, because when I was a kid, there was a bad kid who got hurt every other day, so I got used to bandaging him."

"But that was a long time ago." Mao Lilan said as she bandaged the wound and accidentally got her hand scratched by a pin.

"Hiss~!" Mao Lilan couldn't help but retract her fingers, raised her hand and saw the wound on her fingers.

Seeing this, Tomoaki Shinide came over, took Ran Mao's hand, checked the wound and said, "Really? How could someone who was bandaging himself get injured?"

"However, this minor injury can be cured by just cleaning the wound and putting a band-aid on it."

"Well, this." A blush appeared on Mao Lilan's cheeks, and she was about to speak when she thought of the clothes.

Suddenly the door of the treatment room opened, and Xingchen and Conan appeared at the door.

Mao Lilan shouted: "Conan, Xiaochen. You are here like this."

"Inspector Megure asked me to ask everyone to come over." Conan opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of confusion, and then he reacted and said with his hands behind his back.

Xingchen thought to himself with shame, wouldn't this lead to even more misunderstanding?

"Okay then. I'll be there right away." Shinide Tomoaki let go of his hand and nodded.

He also instructed: "By the way, Xiaoguang."

"Could you please help me get a bandaid from the shelf?"

"Okay." Bao Benguang nodded.

After applying a bandaid to Mao Lilan, the group went back to the kitchen. However, Conan and Xingchen left the group again because Conan came to the main switch.

"This is the place where Sister Xiaoguang must have broken a vase." Xingchen said, looking at the familiar place.

"Really."

"Well, Dr. Arata came over at that time, scolded her and said he would kick her out if she continued to make mistakes."

Conan touched his chin and nodded, but did not respond to Xingchen.

Instead, he walked towards the kitchen.

Xingchen tilted his head and looked at Conan's leaving figure. Looking at his expression, he understood something this time. Isn't this a proof question?

On the other side, Inspector Megure re-enacted the scene when the incident happened.

However, he did not find anything wrong, so Kogoro Mouri put forward a guess: it is possible that the murderer crossed the yard and went to the victim's bathroom.

This made Arata Tomoaki unable to bear it any longer, so he spoke out loud. Basically, they didn't find any trace and were just speculating.

In his opinion, Inspector Megure and his team were just interested in this accident.

During this time, Xingchen and Conan came to the second floor, and they both found the fragments on the ground.

Xingchen picked up the fragments and observed them for a while before muttering, "Oh, that's how it is. The extra time that Sister Xiaoguang had is the time that has come up."

"Chen, didn't you notice?"

"The chawanmushi that was broken before has disappeared." Conan said with a smile.

"Eh, I really didn't notice that." Xingchen touched his chin and said. This way, except for that person, everyone else had a perfect alibi.

Conan walked into Hikaru Hoshimoto's room, opened the cabinet and saw the chawanmushi inside and said, "Sister Hikaru, you hid the chawanmushi in this place because you were afraid that Dr. Shinde would kick you out of the room. The truth came to light."

Conan then told Xingchen about his ideas.

"Is this really possible? What if the person on the other side firmly denies this matter? You can't expect everyone to have a conscience." After listening to this, Xingchen looked at Conan with confusion and put forward a hypothesis.

"Besides, she has already killed Dr. Arata."

"....." Conan touched his chin and thought, evidence, yes, in addition to motive, the most crucial evidence is needed to define a person's crime.

"Don't you think you have changed a bit, Conan?" Xingchen continued while looking at the chawanmushi in the cabinet.

"In the past, you have always used absolute evidence and reasoning that the murderer would not deny to deduce his murder methods one by one. Even if you can't do it, you can trick the murderer into telling the truth. Then you put the evidence in front of the murderer."

"Let the murderer be convinced."

"You're right, Chen, I admit that I have changed. But if she kills someone, she kills someone. I just don't want anyone else to get hurt." Conan said with a calm smile.

"Maybe I think people always have some conscience. In the previous conversation, she probably wouldn't want Sister Xiaoguang to get hurt."

"I'm willing to take a chance." Conan looked at Xingchen with a determined look. He couldn't let a murderer go free.

Seeing Conan's determined look, Xingchen's mouth trembled slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I hope so."

Afterwards, Xingchen and Conan returned downstairs and found Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri who were holding umbrellas in the yard. They were experimenting with how long it would take to go back and forth.

Xingchen leaned against the door and watched Conan raise the watch on his hand and start his performance.

Xingchen followed them silently and watched this self-directed and self-acted drama.

First, Conan came to the kitchen and informed everyone there.

It means that Kogoro Mouri has just been wet and needs to use the bathroom here. He can also experience what happened when Doctor Shinde was electrocuted.

"Is that really what Mr. Mori said?" said Tomoaki Niide in surprise.

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

Conan said that Uncle Maori hoped to gather everyone together after he finished taking a bath. He already knew who the murderer was, and now he was sorting out what happened while taking a bath.

"What murderer? You mean my husband's death was not an accident." Yoko Shinide said in shock.

"Ah, I don't know about that either." Conan said, touching his head.
