The world of science is unscientific

The other person was reading a book, just as described by Ueki Kusahachi.

"You can see it very clearly. This kind of equipment is really advanced."

Yukiko Kudo was quite surprised. A lady sat in the chair, her beautiful face and well-proportioned figure, and her overall demeanor was very pleasant.

Yusuke Suzuki could only say that these surveillance devices were barely adequate.

After all, the organization has been using surveillance for a long time.

The equipment at Base 4 is more advanced than what's here.

Organization, the god of scientific research!

Hearing Yukiko Kudo's words, Kusahachi Ueki still lamented, "These are still not enough."

"Is this a map?"

Conan braced himself on the table and peeked out.

Seeing that her son was having a hard time, Yukiko Kudo simply picked him up and held him in her arms.

"Thank you, Aunt Yukiko."

Yusuke Suzuki instinctively stepped forward and flicked her forehead, saying, "Call me 'older sister'."

"Yes... thank you, Yukiko-neechan."

Yukiko Kudo, who had been wearing a stern face, suddenly brightened up, so it seems that Suzuki Yusuke really wasn't to blame.

My own son can be quite annoying sometimes.

And... Shinichi looking so pitiful is just so cute~~~~

Resisting the urge to pinch Conan's cheek, Yukiko Kudo turned her gaze to the floor plan. After searching for a while, she pointed to a room with her index finger, "This is the audiovisual room, the monitoring room is here..."

Eri Kisaki said softly, "If something happens, it won't be easy to get there quickly."

She turned around and asked, "Who usually watches these screens?"

“It was confirmed by me and the maids in turns,” Ueki Kusahachi replied, then pointed to a screen and said, “By the way, that person is not an outsider, he is the gardener here, named Tsuchi Kōzō.”

That's a great name.

Yusuke Suzuki took out his phone and glanced at it. "It's getting late."

He meant it was time to eat, but the Fujieda family clearly misunderstood him.

Fujieda Shigeru explained, "He must have continued tidying up just to be on the safe side, because tomorrow is my deceased sister's birthday."

Actually, Suzuki Yusuke could understand Tsuchi Kōzō's intentions without his explanation; he knew it as soon as he arrived and heard what Ueki Sōhachi had to say.

The gardener had feelings for the deceased lady.

Yusuke Suzuki understood this because Wendy and Dale in England had similar feelings for him.

However, this kind of feeling is destined to go unrequited.

He had just come to his senses when he noticed that Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo were questioning Ran Mouri, looking quite agitated.

He thought about it for a moment and remembered.

They were asking who the name was on the ticket in Kogoro Mouri's hand.

This ticket was from that beauty pageant years ago; it wasn't particularly special.

However, when the princess and the queen each have 10,000 votes, this one vote becomes crucial.

Who wrote "The Clumsy Detective" again...?

I can't quite remember.

However, judging from their past practices, it's probably going to be about Yukiko Fujimine.

Chapter 352 Why are there so many plague gods in the territory he manages?

"Who is it! Whose name is written on that piece of paper!?"

"Is it Eri, or me? Who is it?!"

Faced with their persistent questioning, Ran Mouri became a little nervous, "But, that piece of paper got all torn and tattered because Dad threw it straight into the washing machine..."

"Are you serious? You have to tell the truth."

"It's okay, Xiaolan, you don't need to worry about your mother."

Seeing that Ran Mouri truly didn't know, Yusuke Suzuki said, "Teacher's wife, why don't you just ask the teacher directly?"

At this moment, Ueki Kusahachi suddenly spoke up to attract everyone's attention, "Master's hands... why is Master raising both hands?"

Yukiko Kudo reacted quickly, "Isn't someone in that room with a gun?"

“That’s impossible,” Ueki Kusahachi said, his wrinkles rubbing together. “I was the one who brought the coffee in, and I made sure I locked the door from the inside when I came out of the room.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fujieda Mikio collapsed to the ground on the monitor screen.

This is...being shot!?

Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo quickly assigned tasks, then pushed open the door and ran out.

What's the use of being anxious now?

Yusuke Suzuki didn't even bother to complain. He should have gone over the moment he saw Mikio Fujieda raise his hands.

"Brother Yusuke, hurry up!"

Conan turned around and called out, then followed Ran Mouri without looking back.

Despite being urged, Yusuke Suzuki still didn't want to run and chose to walk instead.

Just then, Fujieda Shigeru came out of his room looking completely bewildered.

"What happened?"

"Your brother-in-law has been murdered."

Yusuke Suzuki strolled past him, casually remarking something.

"What!?" Fujie Shige also rushed over.

However, when Yusuke Suzuki arrived, a group of people were still standing at the door shouting.

As soon as Conan saw him, he panicked, "Yusuke-nii, come quick! The door won't open!"

"Let me do it."

Ran Mouri took a deep breath, but then two more gunshots rang out from inside the house, startling her and causing her to deflate instantly.

As everyone was shocked, Suzuki Yusuke finally reached the door.

He glanced down, reached out and easily removed the doorknob, and the group filed in.

"The key, the key is here..."

Ueki Kusahachi, who went to retrieve the key, arrived late.

He glanced at the door.

Where's the lock?

He turned his head again and found it clutched in Suzuki Yusuke's hand.

this......

He was just glad that he had acted quickly enough, otherwise he might have been caught red-handed.

Inside the house, the crowd gathered around the body of Fujieda Mikio.

"The worst has happened..."

Eri Kisaki's expression was solemn, as was Yukiko Kudo's.

"Anyway, everyone should leave here first. I hope no one will leave our sight alone before the police arrive."

Eri Kisaki exudes an undefeated queenly aura, and everyone in the Fujieda family obeys her every whim.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Ueki Kusahachi again, "Butler, I'll go with you to find the rest of the servants."

Yusuke Suzuki pursed his lips. He had to leave again after unlocking the door, so he might as well linger on the road a little longer. Anyway, Ran could handle breaking down doors.

I picked up my phone and checked; there was still nothing unusual at Professor Agasa's place.

Conan ran over and tugged at his trouser leg. "Yusuke-nii, did you notice anything strange when you came over?"

Strange?

Yusuke Suzuki thought for a moment and said slowly, "No, I was walking at the back, and no one's behavior was problematic."

Is that so...

Conan lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Previously, both Fujieda Soka and the butler Ueki Kusahachi had indicated that the person who would kill Fujieda Mikio was someone from this family.

However, the gunshots just now have shifted suspicions to the outside world.

After all, when Fujieda Mikio collapsed, everyone except Fujieda Shigeru was in the monitoring room, so they had alibis.

So, could the murderer be Fujieda Shigeru?

It doesn't quite look like it, but there is definitely a motive.

Seeing that Conan was deep in thought, Suzuki Yusuke went inside to check on the body.

He was shot three times in the chest.

However, the corpse's expression was not quite right; it didn't seem like the person was facing a death threat when they died.

His memory of the case was limited to knowing the culprit, and that was only because Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo appeared in the same scene, making it more memorable.

As for the other plot points, I only watched them on my first viewing. On my second and third viewings, I basically skipped them because I wanted to focus on the main storyline.

"Did you find anything else?"

Conan stopped thinking and walked over. After examining the body, he didn't find anything wrong with it.

"A perfectly normal corpse."
