After Ikezawa Yuko came out of the bathroom, she still said nonchalantly:

"I've already told you that I'm not the murderer. How long are you going to doubt me?"

After saying that, Yuko Ikezawa took out a cigarette from her bag, picked up the peculiarly shaped Statue of Liberty on the table and lit it up. Seeing this, Conan had an idea and took the lighter from her.

Holding the peculiar lighter, Conan said in surprise like a child, "Wow, what a special lighter. Sister, you said you have never been here, how do you know that this little Statue of Liberty is a lighter?"

This sentence directly opened up the confusing incident, and everything began to become clear. Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori immediately looked sharp and asked.

"Yes, how do you know so much? You know where the toilet is at hand, and you also know that the Statue of Liberty is a lighter?"

Ikezawa Yuko quickly defended herself, "My friend has the same Statue of Liberty, so of course I know about it."

"Which friend is this? Who is this friend?"

A trace of sweat appeared on Ikezawa Yuko's face. She seemed not very good at lying. She stammered, "Uh, yes..."

Seeing that she was speechless for a long time, Maori Kogoro continued to ask, "You even know where the toilet is. You must be very familiar with this place. You must be the murderer, right?"

Maori Kogoro continued to reason as if he had opened a cheat, "In order to destroy Miss Okino Yoko's reputation, you killed a man in Miss Yoko's room and framed Miss Yoko, right?"

"No, it's not like that." Hearing Maori Kogoro slandering her like this, Ikezawa Yuko quickly shook her head and denied loudly, "It's not like that, I didn't kill him!"

"Because this man tried to attack me, I was just defending myself, so I resisted, but he didn't die."

Ikezawa Yuko continued, her expression somewhat decadent, "I did come here a few times. I stole the key to Yoko's room in the lounge, and found scandalous evidence about her in Yoko's room. This was originally my job to expose her."

"But, but today when I entered Okino Yoko's room, a man suddenly broke in and tried to attack me. After I resisted, I finally escaped from here safely with great difficulty."

Maori Kogoro was somewhat biased towards Okino Yoko in this matter, because Miss Yoko was his idol. Seeing Ikezawa Yuko shirking her responsibility, he could not help but snorted, "I think you killed him because you were forced by the situation."

"I've already said that I didn't kill anyone, why are you still putting it on my head?"

Just as an argument was about to break out, one of Inspector Megure's men ran over and interrupted the conversation between the two. "Officer, with the help of Consultant Tomie Kawakami, the identity of the victim has been found out. The deceased's name is Fujie Akiyoshi, he is 22 years old this year, and after graduating from Konan High School, he worked in Kakunobe Commercial City."

Maori Kogoro felt familiar when he heard "Kounan High School". He held his chin and analyzed it, and then said, "Isn't the high school Miss Yoko attended Konan High School? Miss Yoko?"

Agent Eiichiro Yamagishi quickly covered up and said, "That's a coincidence, right, Yoko?" As he said that, Eiichiro Yamagishi couldn't help winking at Miss Yoko.

However, Yoko did not accept it. Instead, after some self-reflection, she said loudly, "Actually, I know this person."

"Ah, Yoko, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yamagishi Ei couldn't help but say, his expression puzzled.

Yoko ignored him and continued to speak out, "I don't just know him, this person... was my boyfriend in high school, I know him very well."

"Ah, what?" Everyone was stunned.

Okino Yoko turned around to face everyone and began to bow and apologize, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yamagishi. I really don't want to hide it anymore."

Officer Megure couldn't help but speculate, "Could it be that you, as a public figure, wanted to end your former boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so you killed him?"

"No, it was Fujie Akiyoshi who proposed the breakup. He was the one who proposed the breakup. I will not kill him for this!"

Here, the case once again reached a stalemate.

Conan's mind was racing, wondering who the murderer of Fujie Akiyoshi was.

Jiang Chuan Shang couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up from the corner, stretched his numb legs, went to the intact chair, and overturned it to the ground, revealing the dent hidden on the floor next to the chair.

He called Seshomaru over and said, "Sesshomaru, come here, the room is so hot, I think you need to cool down."

Seshomaru looked at him, speechless, but had to cooperate anyway. He walked briskly to Egawakami and handed the other end of the rope to Egawakami with his mouth.

Jiang Chuan Shang took the rope buckle, patted Seshomaru's head affectionately, and praised him with reward, "Ah, you are such a good dog, aren't you, little Conan?"

After noticing a series of actions by Ekawakami, Conan had already discovered the dent on the ground, so he obediently came to Ekawakami, checked the dent, and with Ekawakami's hint, he finally figured out the reason.

On the other side, Kogoro Mori began to suspect that Mr. Yamagishi Ei was the murderer.

So Conan had an idea and picked up a plate on the ground, which just happened to hit Mouri Kogoro. Mouri Kogoro was hit on the back of the head and immediately lost consciousness, and his body fell on the sofa due to inertia.

No one realized that Kogoro Mouri had fainted. Instead, they heard Kogoro Mouri start to talk and reason, so they listened carefully.

Jiangchuankami looked at Conan's series of actions and couldn't help feeling ashamed. He and Seshomaru asked soul-searching questions, "What an idiot!"

Why is it so simple and crude? There are so many loopholes. As long as you look down and check the number of people, you will know that Conan is missing. As long as you check Kogoro Mouri again, you will know that he has fainted.

However, no one would go and check, including Jiang Chuan Shang. The rules did not allow him to do so, otherwise everything would be messed up.

By then, everyone will know that the person who is better at reasoning than Kogoro Mouri is a first-grade elementary school student Conan, and this Conan does not exist at all, so it is necessary to doubt who he is.

By then, when Conan is in the newspaper, the Black Organization will know that Kudo Shinichi was not dead, but had become smaller and powerless, which would make it easier for them to assassinate him.

In this way, the whole Tokyo will be occupied by the dark people like the Black Organization. People will suffer and people will die every day.

There will be no justice and light in this world, and everything will belong to darkness.

The world consciousness will collapse and cease to exist, because this is not in accordance with the law of yin and yang. Under the light, there must be a shadow, this principle is understood by everyone.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan Shang would not let this situation happen, otherwise he would have to bear the final consequences.

Alas, I'd better just be a passerby. I'm here on vacation.

Jiangchuankami thought about it, pulled Seshomaru aside, and went to the kitchen to find a bowl to give him water to drink.

Conan also began his reasoning, using his bow tie to adjust his voice to the same as Kogoro Mouri's and began to speak.

"Actually, that's not what I want to say. For example, Mr. Yamagishi, if Mr. Yamagishi Ei was the murderer, you should have prepared your alibi in advance when you asked us, the police, to investigate. The same goes for Ms. Yoko, because she is the first suspect, the owner of the house, so she is not the murderer either."

Inspector Megure listened and nodded in agreement with "Mouri Kogoro's" reasoning, "Since these two have been ruled out, the murderer must be Miss Ikezawa Yuko."

"Mouri Kogoro" continued, denying Inspector Megure's statement, "The murderer is not Miss Ikezawa Yuko either, because if it was her, she would not have said that she had met the victim before."

"Who is that?"

"Mr. Yamagishi, you took a hair from the deceased's hand when you pretended to fall. I saw it. Why did you do that?"

"Ah, no, I didn't kill him?"

"No, I'm just saying, how could a person with a fatal wound on his back grab the murderer's hair from the front? This is incredible, so it's not homicide, but the murderer wants us to think that the deceased was murdered by him, and was killed by Miss Yoko, forming a false accusation."

"What? If you consider it a homicide, then that means..."

At this point, everyone could no longer keep up with Conan's imagination and could only wait for Conan to continue reasoning.

"That's right. The murderer is the deceased Fujie Akiyoshi himself. Death can be divided into two types: homicide and suicide. Either the crime was committed by an acquaintance or the murderer planned it himself. Mr. Fujie was a suicide who planned it himself, framed others, and created a scandal."

"Ah, what? Who would stab a knife into their own back and kill them with one blow? That's impossible. No normal person could do that." Inspector Megure asked in confusion. He still had some understanding of the methods of death.

A normal person can barely reach his hand behind his back to scratch himself, but he is simply unable to stab a knife into his back with enough force to kill himself instantly, because if a normal person puts his hands behind his back for a period of time, his arms will become weak and only his fingers will have strength left, so he cannot kill himself at all. At most, he will only suffer a shallow wound.

So Conan explained to everyone the principle, such as how to kill him from behind, "It's because Mr. Fujie used the principle of ice. It's just a simple trick."

"Mr. Fujie fixed the kitchen knife upright on the ice and set the air conditioner to high temperature. He then took a hair from Ms. Yoko's comb and held it in his hand. Then he stood on the chair and lay down. He would die on the spot. As the air conditioner was running at high temperature, the room would be very hot and the ice would melt faster. So when we saw it, we would find that there was a knife stuck in Mr. Fujie's back. The reason why there were traces of moisture on his body was that the moisture was the traces of melted ice. Therefore, the murderer was Fujie Akiyoshi himself."

"The evidence is the dent next to the body and the intact chair, and the flaw is the hair in Fujie Akiyoshi's hand."

"hair?"

"Yes, the hair. Mr. Yamagishi thought that Mr. Fujie was killed by Ms. Yoko, so when he pretended to fall, he took the hair and hid it."

"Oh, I see!"

Miss Yoko listened and asked in confusion, "But why did Mr. Fujie do this? Why did he risk his life?"

Conan could only explain, "This, maybe that's why he still loves you, because you and Ms. Ikezawa Yuko's back are very similar, Mr. Fujie thought she was you, just like she attacked, ah, no, he wanted to talk, but was violently resisted by Ms. Ikezawa Yuko. You said before that someone was following you and sent you postcards, but he felt that he still couldn't win you back, so he became desperate and resentful, and committed suicide in your room."

"The reason why you felt there was a change in the room was because Ms. Ikezawa Yuko entered your room to look for something, and the two of you just happened to meet today."

Okino Yoko was a little emotional and asked, "But he was the one who dumped me, why do you still hate me?"

At this time, Mr. Yamagishi revealed the truth, "You are wrong, Yoko, he didn't want to break up with you voluntarily. It was actually me who asked him to break up with you. For your future and work, you couldn't let your fans know that you were in a relationship, so I persuaded him to break up with you."

"Ah, how could this happen!"

Once again, Inspector Megure's men came running over to deliver the message, "Officer, we found a diary in Mr. Fujie's house."

So everyone checked Mr. Fujie's diary and found that Mr. Fujie was full of depression after breaking up with Yoko. He expressed his deep love for Yoko and could not forget all the good memories with her. So he wanted to win Yoko back and he could not live without Yoko.

The matter ended here, and Inspector Megure began to summarize the reasons for the whole case:

"In other words, this is an emotional tragedy caused by lies, misunderstandings, and coincidences. Well, the case ends here."

At this time, Kogoro Mouri also woke up from his coma and was held down by Inspector Megure.

"Mr. Maori, your reasoning today is really brilliant. I'm impressed by you, you great detective!"

Jiang Chuan Shang came out of the kitchen, clapped his hands and said, "What a pair of infatuated man and resentful woman, love really makes people blind and lose themselves. Wouldn't it be better if they explained it clearly at the beginning? They insisted on sending anonymous postcards, which really made things worse."

Conan jumped out from behind the sofa and looked at Jiang Kawakami with a frown, "Brother Kawakami, you sound very experienced when you talk like this, have you dated many people?"

"Little boy, don't meddle in adults' business. It's none of your business whether I've dated before or not. Even if I haven't, I've seen enough of them to know more. Also, I'm single, so don't spread rumors!"

Egawakami warned, pretending to be angry, and quickly left with Seshomaru in tow.

Conan rubbed his head and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Oh, I'm so tired."

"Well, Conan, where did you go just now? Why didn't I see you?" said Mao Lilan. She looked a little worried, as if she was thinking about something sad.

After everyone left, Ran Mouri walked holding Conan's hand and shed a few tears.

"Ms. Okino Yoko is really amazing. She can cheer up after such a thing. Mr. Kawakami is right. Love can really make people lose themselves. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to be strong."

After saying this, Mao Lilan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Conan remained silent, not knowing how to comfort her.
