The world of science is unscientific

Ran Mouri saw that this was indeed the case, and not knowing what to do, she could only take John back.

They said they were going to the car repair shop, but since Kogoro Mouri was tired from walking around, the group simply turned back the way they came. Yusuke Suzuki also called to inquire, and the parts had not yet arrived.

Back at the villa, we enjoyed a delicious snack.

"The view here is really expansive," Ran Mouri said, looking at the sea. Suddenly, she spotted a strange ship and asked her father, "Dad, that ship looks a bit odd. Why is it tilting to one side?"

Yusuke Suzuki looked over and comforted her, "Ran, that ship isn't strange, it's just going to sink."

Ran Mouri: "???"

Mrs. Kamei, standing nearby, was even more shocked. "That wouldn't be Attorney Tachibana's ship, would it?!"

Kogoro Mouri didn't even bother with his snacks. He told Mrs. Kamei to call the police immediately, and then the three of them ran away together.

In an instant, only Suzuki Yusuke remained in the same spot, with a snack still dangling from his mouth.

"Brother Yusuke, hurry up!"

Conan turned around and saw that his friend hadn't moved at all, so he quickly called out to remind him.

Now he had no choice but to go, so Yusuke Suzuki followed.

In the evening, the police retrieved Kensuke Tachibana's body and carried it to the shore.

“It’s the middle of the night right now,” Officer Inoki said solemnly. “The recovery is progressing slowly. By the time we found him, he was already dead.”

"Huh?" Conan appeared, "Officer, when you found Attorney Tachibana, wasn't he wearing a life jacket?"

Once reminded, Ran Mouri immediately recalled, "That's not right, he was definitely wearing a life jacket when he left this morning."

"Really? Then why aren't you wearing one now?" The clueless detective realized something was wrong, and Officer Inoki speculated, "When it's hot, people take off their life jackets, which is why we often have similar accidents here."

Unexpected event?

With Kogoro Mouri and Conan present, the two gods sitting naked, and the police's pre-emptive characterization, it could not possibly be an accident!

Chapter 102 Another Scoundrel

After a moment's hesitation, Yusuke Suzuki interrupted, "Officer, it's winter now. Even if it's warm around here, it shouldn't be so hot that you have to take off your life jacket."

"That's true. Do you suspect this wasn't an accident?" Officer Inoki looked at Yusuke Suzuki. "May I ask who you are?"

"Yusuke Suzuki, this is my teacher, Kogoro Mouri."

Just after the introduction, an old man suddenly said regretfully, "I just reminded him that it's high tide and he should be extra careful when fishing, but I didn't expect the tragedy to still happen."

“Teacher, you heard that too, right?” Suzuki Yusuke looked at Mouri Kogoro. “I don’t think it’s very likely that Attorney Tachibana took off that life jacket himself.”

"Yes...yes." Kogoro Mouri also sensed something was amiss and walked towards the old man. "May I ask who you are?"

“My surname is Inuyama,” Inuyama Hiroshi said, glancing at the shop not far away. “That boat rental shop is mine, and I was the one who rented the boat to Attorney Tachibana this time.”

"To be honest, I recently had a small boat of the same type stolen. Could you please help me find it?"

"Is this true?" Officer Inoki continued to confirm.

“Many kids saw it,” Hiroshi Inuyama said, squinting, “a man wearing a red baseball cap steered the boat away.”

"We also saw the person you mentioned, over at the cape."

Ran Mouri suddenly interjected, and Conan nodded in agreement.

"Which direction did you see him walk in?"

After describing it, Hiroshi Inuyama looked at the sea and said, "That direction seems to be the scene where Attorney Tachibana had the accident."

Mrs. Kamei stated that the man had come to the villa to see Kensuke Tachibana two months ago, and the two had a big argument.

As evening approached, Yusuke Suzuki called the auto repair shop again, only to be told that the parts were still not in place and he would have to wait a little longer.

He hung up the phone immediately; it seems he can't leave until the case is resolved.

Fortunately, there's plenty of food and drink here, and the scenery is beautiful. It's not bad to stay for a while, otherwise Suzuki Yusuke would have rushed to leave again.

However, he was still quite eager to see Kogoro Mouri take down with a tranquilizer dart. After all, it had been a hundred chapters and he still hadn't seen the 'Sleeping Kogoro,' which was really a bit odd.

In the evening, Officer Inoki visited.

Although there were only a few outsiders in the villa, Officer Baba, who had come along, entered the villa under the pretext of wanting to see Kogoro Mouri's deductive reasoning skills.

"Witness my reasoning?" Kogoro Mouri was a little confused.

Officer Inoki said apologetically, "To be honest, we often hear rumors about you here."

"We've heard that you can dance and deduce while singing along to Yoko Okino's songs. Is that true?" asked Officer Baba, who looked menacing. "That's why everyone calls him 'Dancing Kogoro'."

The entire Mori family turned into beady-eyed people.

How did this rumor even start? Isn't it a bit too outrageous?

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't help but laugh. Kogoro Mouri immediately wanted to give him a fiery headbutt, but then he thought of his role as a teacher and decided to give up.

After explaining the misunderstanding, the two officers finally got down to business and shared the autopsy results.

"Sleeping pills?" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise. "Did the forensic team really find this ingredient?"

“Yes,” Officer Baba speculated. “It is estimated that he fell into the water while he was in a drowsy state after taking sleeping pills, which is why he drowned.”

Then, Officer Inoki asked Kensuke Tachibana if he had any suicidal tendencies recently.

"Of course not," Suzuki Yusuke said, seeing that Ran Mouri and Conan remained silent. "This morning, when Attorney Tachibana left, Mr. Sakuraba handed him a water glass and a bento box."

If it was sleeping pills, both Mr. Sakuraba and Mrs. Kamei, who prepared the bento, could be the culprits.

After Ran Mouri and Conan nodded in confirmation, the bumbling detective stroked his chin in deep thought. Just then, Mrs. Kamei returned from outside.

The two police officers immediately stepped forward to question her, but their tone remained gentle, without putting any pressure on Mrs. Kamei.

First ask what's in the bento box, then ask why Mr. Sakuraba was asked to deliver it.

After asking, the contents of the bento box matched exactly what Kensuke Tachibana had in his stomach. The reason Mr. Sakuraba handed over the bento box was because Mrs. Tachibana suddenly asked Mrs. Kamei to do something else.

This means there are now three suspects who may have put the sleeping pills in the car.

The rest of the group returned one after another, and Conan whispered to them, "You guys have been receiving strange letters lately, haven't you?"

Having just finished questioning, Yuichi Sakuraba had to continue explaining that they had received several threatening letters.

The threatening letters were quickly found; there were three in total, and the content was the same.

"If you don't want to be disqualified from practicing law, have 300 million ready. —TK"

The focus immediately shifted to 'T.K'.

Yuichi Sakuraba answered hesitantly, and Kogoro Mouri caught him. "Your answer is very unclear," he said, picking up a diary. "According to the diary, Attorney Tachibana knew that this guy 'T.K.' had committed some kind of crime, but still had no choice but to help him get acquitted."

Yuichi Sakuraba continued to deny knowing anything, only saying that he had accidentally seen the contents of the letter before, and was scolded by Kensuke Tachibana.

Left with no other option, the two police officers took their leave.

The police visited again early the next morning.

They found the stolen ship, and there was a red baseball cap on board. Ran Mouri and Mrs. Kamei were certain that the person they had seen was wearing that cap.

It's understandable that Mrs. Kamei knows her, but Ran Mouri is a bit strange. She saw her from so far away, so why is she so sure about making a judgment now?

However, Suzuki Yusuke didn't dare to cause trouble. After all, this was someone else's main world, and it was best for an outsider like him not to easily mess with the main character.

Soon, the police officer showed the word 'Kumata' printed on the hat, and based on the recollections of Mr. Sakuraba and another lawyer, they remembered a man named Tatsuya Kumada.

Tatsuya Kumada's name is abbreviated as 'T.K.'

As expected, an arrest warrant was issued directly, ordering the arrest of Tatsuya Kumada. This guy lived quite nearby, only a 25-minute drive from the villa.

Kogoro Mouri went out with the police, and Conan followed. Yusuke Suzuki stayed at the villa, ready to serve at any time (eating, drinking, and having fun).

The case is definitely not that simple; the final solution will have to come back to the villa.

Don't ask, the answer is experience.

Chapter 103 Incident Resolution

Sure enough, not long after, Yusuke Suzuki received a call from Kogoro Mouri, informing him that Tatsuya Kumada had hanged himself at home.

This couldn't possibly be suicide, so Suzuki Yusuke dismissed the bumbling detective's nonsense.

While he was leisurely enjoying himself, Conan was diligently investigating and gathering evidence.

Yusuke Suzuki already had a suspect in mind. Although he hadn't gone out at all and hadn't gathered any clues, Mrs. Kamei's behavior really bothered him.

Since Attorney Tachibana's death, Mrs. Kamei has seemed very flustered, her expression is always one of struggle, and she is more reserved in her actions and speech than before.

This mild-mannered person would choose to kill, and kill two at once, probably because of the word 'revenge' mentioned in the threatening letter.

Five years ago, Attorney Tachibana defended Tatsuya Kumada and secured his acquittal. Now that both of them are dead, it shows that the root of the problem still lies in Tatsuya Kumada's case.

However, this time he was determined to watch 'Sleeping Kogoro' and just relax and enjoy the ride.

On the other hand, Conan first discovered strange marks on the boat that Attorney Tachibana was on before his death, and also learned that the anchor and rope of the stolen boat were missing.

When Conan returned to the villa, Ran Mouri was cleaning, while Yuichi Sakuraba was watching John drink water.

Where is Yusuke-nii?

Conan realized he had never seen such a person before, which puzzled him.

"He's sleeping right now. Honestly, it seems like Yusuke really loves sleeping." Ran Mouri glanced at a room on the second floor, recalling some things from the past.

What a lazybones! Conan wanted to go upstairs and wake his friend up, but Mr. Sakuraba was right in front of him, so he decided to ask him a question first.

Just as Mr. Sakuraba refused to tell Conan the details of the case from five years ago, Ms. Sugimura, who doesn't work on weekends, suddenly returned.

She first exchanged a few words with Yuichi Sakuraba, and then, under Conan's guidance, revealed the whole inside story of the case from five years ago.

Masahiko Tsuruta, one of Tatsuya Kumada's subordinates, embezzled customers' funds. After being exposed, he committed suicide. However, the police later discovered in Tsuruta's diary that it was Tatsuya Kumada who had actually embezzled the funds, and arrested him.

However, when Masahiko Tsuruta died, Tatsuya Kumada had an alibi, and lawyer Tachibana defended him, resulting in his acquittal.

Yusuke Suzuki was covered by the blanket, but the sound could still reach his ears.

Now he understood. Judging from her age, Mrs. Kamei was probably Masahiko Tsuruta's mother, and the method by which she killed Tatsuya Kumada was probably the same as when Tatsuya Kumada killed Masahiko Tsuruta.

This is true revenge.
