The TV station staff set up the heavy equipment and prepared for the live broadcast.

At this time, Caizi walked towards Yusaku and said, "Mr. Yusaku, it will take some time for us to adjust the equipment. Please go to another room to put on your makeup first."

“No, no.” Yusaku declined with a smile: “I have already put on my makeup, and the way I look now is enough.”

"Is... is that so?" Ayako stared at him with her big blue eyes.

Conan secretly complained in his heart: "If I put on makeup, my disguise will definitely be exposed."

"Oh, right! Mr. Kudo!" Miss Ayako half-crouched, looked at Conan and asked curiously, "I was a little curious just now, I seem to have seen this child somewhere before."

"Oh!" Yusaku's brain was working rapidly: "He is————"

"I am the famous nemesis of Kidd. My name is Edogawa Conan!" Conan said in a cute and coquettish voice, glancing at Yusaku with pride.

Yusaku scratched his cheek and continued, "He is the child of a friend of mine. He insisted on coming to watch the filming of the show."

"So that's how it is." Miss Ayako exclaimed without any doubt in her heart.

She looked around and asked, "By the way, where is your wife? When we met the day before yesterday, she told us that she would show up."

"......This." Yusaku signaled to Conan with his eyes.

Conan understood immediately and added for him: "Aunt Yukiko is not feeling well and has been lying down to rest."

"Really? That's a pity." Ms. Caizi said sincerely, "I hope she can recover soon."

Yusaku smiled awkwardly: "Thank you for your concern."

"Then, when everything is ready, we will come and call you."

"Okay." Yusaku bowed his head politely: "Thank you for your help."

Conan returned to the bedroom and looked at his parents whose condition had not improved. He couldn't help but show a worried expression on his face: "I'll call the doctor when the interview is over."

Conan came to the living room, and Yusaku was eating grapes on the table. He asked, "How is it? Has your parents' condition improved?"

Conan shook his head solemnly, his hands in his pockets, looking like a mature little adult: "They are fine now, but we have to take them to the hospital as soon as possible."

Yusaku stretched his joints. “If only we could cancel the filming of this program and call an ambulance, that would be great, but————”

Yusaku raised his head: "I can't let my benefactor be humiliated."

"Alright." Yusaku looked at Conan with a serious expression: "Tell me the whole story of the case quickly. Who knows, I might be able to deduce it."

"Yeah." Conan snorted coldly: "If you can really deduce it, I will call you brother."

"That's what you said." Yusaku crossed his legs and looked at the photo seriously.

Conan was introducing three cases to him. The left side of Yusaku's glasses was flickering slightly, and after a while, he discovered something unusual.

"Do you want me to give you some hints?"

He pointed at the photos and expressed his opinion: "At the first murder scene, there was a paper bag with something in it at the door, and at the second murder scene, there was also a plastic bag from a convenience store at the door."

"There were bags on the ground in front of the doors in both cases, but there were no bags at the door in the third case, but it's not that there are no alternatives."

Yusaku switched to Kid's voice: "I see there is a frying pan on the ground. What's strange is that the frying pan on the ground is black, but the kitchen utensils hanging on the wall are all silver."

"Anything else? Anything else?" Conan pressed, "You should have come to a general conclusion."

"Eh?" Yusaku stared at Conan blankly and said calmly, "These are the only conclusions I can draw."

"What?" Conan took a breath and said, "I almost thought you had figured out the truth of the case. It was such a false alarm. I almost called you brother."

"What does it matter?" Yusaku smiled awkwardly: "Anyway, you have already figured out the truth, so tell me the method of committing the crime and the murderer quickly."

"Okay." Conan gently held the frame of the glasses: "First, the murderer--"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

"Excuse me, Mr. Kudo." The staff member politely poked his head out: "We are already prepared, you can come over."

"Um... okay." Yusaku stammered, "I'll be there now."

"There's no time." Conan looked at him resolutely, "We'll just have to bite the bullet. You can hear my voice in the headphones, just follow my instructions."

After saying that, Conan handed the small black headset to Yusaku.

In the Mouri Detective Agency, Xiaolan was sitting in front of the TV, staring at the screen with an expectant expression, her eyes revealing joy and happiness.

"Hello, viewers. The recent mysterious serial locked-room murder cases have aroused great concern among the public."

"It's started! Dad!" Xiaolan excitedly pulled Maoli's sleeve and sipped the orange juice in her hand. She didn't dare to take her eyes off the screen for fear of missing anything.

"We have a special guest on the show tonight to broadcast the puzzle-solving process live. Can you hear me? Anchor Mengchuan?"

"Hello everyone!" Ayako greeted them gently with a smile on her face: "I am now at the home of the world-renowned mystery novelist, Mr. Kudo Yusaku."

"And what about that little devil?"

"Conan said he will stay at the doctor's house tonight and he can watch it live now." Xiaolan explained patiently, but Maori on the side had an unconvinced expression on his face.

He drank his beer gloomily. "Really? I'm a famous detective, but I have to listen to the reasoning of a novelist here. It's really absurd!"

Caizi smiled professionally, holding the microphone, and continued: "Next, we would like to invite Mr. Kudo Yusaku to tell us about the serial locked room murder case."

"Teacher Kudo! Now everyone is saying that this case is a serial murder case, but the three victims died in different ways, and they have no connection with each other. Is this really done by the same murderer?"

"That's right!" Yusaku said confidently, "All of this was done by the same person!"

"The locked-room methods used in the three cases are exactly the same, and the three victims all have something in common."

"What?!" Caizi was shocked when she heard it: "Really...really?"

"Yes." Yusaku nodded: "I'm sorry, I can't show you the scene photos provided by the police. There is a bath towel hanging on the bathroom cabinet with a magnifying glass pattern printed on it."

"In the second victim's house, there were many figurines he made himself, carrying magnifying glasses. In addition, the third victim's watch was in the shape of a magnifying glass."

"As for this magnifying glass, it is the logo of the online game Dungeon Holmes. I think these three victims are all players of this game."

"Eh?" Miss Caizi looked at him in surprise: "I didn't expect there was such a game."

"Hmm?" Yusaku turned from defense to offense, staring at her with a meaningful smile: "Strange, Miss Ayako, you can't not know."

"Huh?" Conan, who was hiding under the table in front of Yusaku, and Miss Ayako were both shocked.

Conan was a little confused because those words were spoken by Yusaku, that is, Kid himself.

Not far from Kudo's house, a silver-gray BMW was parked in the alley. Baijiu was holding a walkie-talkie, staring at the picture presented by Yusaku's glasses, and silently reasoning.

At the same time, a three-dimensional map of Kudo House has been generated above the screen in the car.
