Therefore, Ueki Kōhachi is highly suspected.

However, there was a full three minutes between the first shot and the subsequent two shots. Wasn't this something the murderer did to create an alibi?

correct.

Conan suddenly remembered the book that Mikio Fujieda was reading before he died.

The book was placed neatly on the table, and bookmarks were made from the thread in the book.

How could someone be in the mood to do something like this when they were being threatened with a gun?

Furthermore, didn't Fujieda Mikio raise his hand a little too high at the time?

To normally express surrender or compromise, one should simply raise both hands above the ears; there's no need to raise them completely.

Just then, Eri and the others returned.

Chapter 355 I always feel like I'm surrounded by hidden big shots

"Have you figured it out?"

Yusuke Suzuki leaned close to Conan's ear and asked a question.

The tone was quite sincere.

Even if Conan had preconceived notions, he would be embarrassed to say that Suzuki Yusuke was being sarcastic.

“It should be soon…” Conan jumped off the sofa. “Now that you’ve completely sorted things out, why don’t you go and solve the case? Uncle still has eight million in debt.”

Yusuke Suzuki didn't answer, but simply raised his chin and pointed in a direction.

Conan glanced at his mother and Eri Kisaki and recognized them immediately.

He understood after a moment's thought.

Wait... what if his mom makes him deduce things from behind the scenes and then appear as the Baroness of the Night?

This feels a little embarrassing...

At this point, Eri and her companion, who were completely clueless, decided to start by investigating the motive behind the crime.

The two men asked the maids who in the house hated Fujieda Mikio the most.

Although Suzuki Yusuke was sitting far away, he could hear it clearly.

When he heard Fujieda Mikio ask Fujieda Shigeru to pay the rent, he couldn't hold back anymore.

No, isn't this a bit too outrageous?

He's still your brother-in-law, no matter what, yet he has to pay rent for living in your own house...

If you're so tough, why didn't you divorce and leave the house before your wife passed away?

After listening to their statements, it became clear that all four of them had valid motives.

He glanced up and saw that Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo's brows were indeed furrowing more and more as they listened.

At this moment, the police searching the bushes outside for any remaining evidence enraged Tsuchi Kozo.

Yusuke Suzuki was sitting nearby, so he got up and pulled him back.

With his strength, subduing someone would be quite easy; Tsuchi Kenzo was left with only his mouth still moving.

Nearby police officers rushed over to help, and Ueki Kusahachi also pleaded on their behalf, saying, "I'm very sorry, because that was the flowerbed that my deceased wife loved and cherished the most."

“That’s enough,” Inspector Megure gestured for the police outside to leave. “Let’s stop here.”

"If I'm not mistaken, you are a highly educated person, aren't you?"

Yukiko Kudo came over and started talking to Kozo Doi. When the topic of their hometown came up, Kozo Doi, who was usually reluctant to talk to others, finally showed a smile.

After chatting for a while, Yukiko Kudo walked away with a smile.

"Did you find anything?" Eri asked her friend.

"Yes, I heard some very interesting news."

Yukiko Kudo said slowly, "We heard the gunshot a few seconds after the glass shattered."

"What does this mean?" Eri crossed her arms. "Wasn't the sound of shattering glass at the same time as the gunshot?"

"I don't know, maybe they fired the gun after breaking the glass."

"But that doesn't make sense, does it? That sound should have come before the first shot, right?"

"They didn't seem to remember which shot it was. Everyone assumed it was just the sound of firecrackers set off by some delinquents nearby, so they didn't seem to care much."

Yukiko Kudo pondered for a moment, "Could it be related to Yusaku's hint?"

Have you contacted your husband?

"Yes, just now."

Upon hearing this, Yusuke Suzuki exclaimed, "No wonder he says his idol is the pinnacle of mystery fiction!"

Yusaku Ito immediately grasped the key point after listening to the conversation over the phone, while Conan was still babbling on and on.

They're really disappointing.

“Officer, shouldn’t the interrogation be over by now?” Fujieda Shigeru looked troubled. “It’s impossible for any of us to have committed this crime.”

Coming, coming, coming again!

Megure sighed, head bowed; it was time for another familiar moment.

There is no sufficient reason to keep the suspects in custody.

However, he then perked up. Usually, at this stage, the case was almost solved, and all that was left was for his brother Mori to dance and fall asleep.

...

Wait, it seems like Mori isn't here this time.

Oh, right, he also has his apprentice.

Inspector Megure cast a longing glance at Yusuke Suzuki.

The latter was taken aback by the stare.

WTF.

He's been sitting here quietly the whole time, why are you suddenly looking at him?

"Officer Megure?"

Just as Suzuki Yusuke uttered a question, Inspector Megure walked over.

"Brother Suzuki, it's getting late, shouldn't we start the deduction?"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Yusuke was greatly alarmed.

So Inspector Megure isn't such a complete idiot after all?

Did he realize long ago that he had already figured out the case?

That doesn't make sense either. Why doesn't he just go to Conan? Could it be that he's giving Shinichi Kudo some face?

A series of three questions in his mind further fueled Suzuki Yusuke's suspicions about the world.

He suddenly realized that everyone around him was a hidden master.

"Brother Suzuki?"

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's voice, Yusuke Suzuki snapped out of his daze and glanced at Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo.

Since they've taken the initiative to contact us, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to speculate?

Just as he was about to speak, Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu entered together.

"Inspector Megure, according to nearby residents, it seems that no one has seen any suspicious persons coming in or out."

"Furthermore, although the results of the bullet trajectory comparison of the pistol have not yet been released, the bullets used to kill and the bullets used to threaten the victim were both fired from the same gun."

Chiba Kazunobu continued, "However, there is one very puzzling thing: among the bullets taken from the victim's body, only one had a shallow mark on it."

After listening, Conan smiled knowingly.

So this is ah.

But how did Yusuke Suzuki know who the real culprit was and deduce the method of the crime without this information?

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my head.

He looked up and saw it was Yukiko Kudo.

"You're still pretending, with that look on your face that says only you know the truth," Yukiko Kudo squatted down and, taking advantage of Eri Kisaki's distraction, quickly said, "Shin-chan, tell me already."

"You're not trying to impress everyone by calling yourself the Baroness of the Night again, are you?"

Conan, undeterred, voiced his concerns.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll handle it in a cool yet simple way tonight."

I knew this was going to happen...

Before Suzuki Yusuke could even begin his reasoning, he was interrupted by his good friend Takagi Wataru, leaving him momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out, and Yukiko Kudo's voice appeared out of nowhere.

"We were all deceived by the real killer."

"Just like Mr. Gan Xiong might have been threatened by a gun coming from outside the window and then shot."

"But it's really a pity."

"It seems there's no way to hide it from the detective."

As two desk lamps lit up at her feet, Yukiko Kudo let her long hair down in the light.

"There's no way to hide it from my discerning eyes, the Baroness of the Night."

Yusuke Suzuki was stunned. How did she manage to stay so composed?!

As the most stylish person in the room, Yukiko Kudo subtly pressed the switch next to her.

Light was restored to the room.
