Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

He secretly planned to go back and call Yusaku Kudo, asking him to persuade his mother to return to the United States as soon as possible, and then there would be no problem.

"Shinichi, now you'd better watch my performance!"

Yukiko Fujimine tugged at Conan's head.

Conan was taken aback. Thinking of her whispered conversation with Kitagawa Taki earlier, could it be that Kitagawa Taki had already solved the case?

……

Inspector Megure brought everyone from the villa to the living room, preparing to question them one by one.

Before he could even begin, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

Fujieda Soka asked curiously, "What's going on? A power outage?"

“We were all actually deceived by the murderer. Mr. Fujieda was not threatened by the gun in the window and then shot.”

Then, several bright lights came on.

Under the spotlight, Fujimine Yukiko ripped off her hairband and let her high ponytail fall down.

"However, unfortunately, it still couldn't escape the detective's eyes."

Conan rubbed his forehead and silently turned on the light.

Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but chuckle; Fujimine Yukiko was quite playful.

Eri asked, "Yukiko, do you already know who the murderer is?"

Inspector Megure asked urgently, "Ms. Yukiko, you said we were all deceived by the murderer. What exactly happened?"

Yukiko Fujimine said, "The murderer misled us into thinking that Mr. Fujieda had been shot and fell to the ground before we arrived at the audiovisual room."

Like a slap in the face, Conan immediately realized what Yukiko Fujimine had said.

He looked at the plant and grass, a smile playing on his lips. So that's how it is.

But soon, Conan became frustrated again because he had fallen behind once more.

Kitagawa Taki found it somewhat amusing to see Conan's expression, which looked like he'd just swallowed a fly. He had simply descended the entire flight of stairs, while Conan had to walk step by step; how could he possibly keep up?

Takagi Wataru said, "Isn't that right? The victim was shot three times in total. You were in the monitoring room when he was shot and fell to the ground first. Then you heard two more gunshots in front of the audiovisual room door."

Yukiko Fujimine raised her index finger and shook it. "No, no, no, all three shots were fired around that time."

Inspector Megure asked curiously, "Why did the victim raise his hands before suddenly falling to the ground? And you only heard two gunshots."

Yukiko Fujimine said, "Mr. Fujieda was just doing some stretching exercises to warm up his body after reading the book."

"Sometimes when you sit for too long, if you suddenly stand up, won't you feel dizzy or lose consciousness?"

Inspector Megure nodded; he had been in similar situations himself.

Fujieda Soka questioned, "But wasn't the timing a little too perfect?"

“Perhaps there’s something wrong with that coffee? Maybe it contains drugs that cause dizziness and disorientation?” Fujimine Yukiko looked at Ueki Kusahachi. “Don’t you think so, Mr. Ueki?”

Conan discovered the key point: Kitagawa Taki seems unaware of the medicine used by Ueki Kusahachi.

Isopropyl alcohol, in appropriate amounts, can be used to treat asthma and can also be used in experiments to induce absentness.

"Then the murderer is Mr. Ueki?" Xiaolan could hardly believe that this kind and amiable old man was actually the murderer.

Ueki Kusahachi, who was called out, remained calm and showed no sign of panic.

Eri Kisaki understood. "I see. As the butler, Mr. Ueki knew very well that Mr. Fujieda had a habit of drinking coffee while reading, and that he would make those stretching movements after reading. He used drugs to make him lose consciousness and faint, thus creating his alibi."

Inspector Megure still didn't quite understand, "What about the gunshot?"

Eri Kisaki explained, "The silencer was used because there was music playing in the audiovisual room at the time, and it was very loud. With the help of the silencer and the towel, we only heard two gunshots."

"I see, then we need to find that silencer first!" Inspector Megure suddenly realized and looked at Wataru Takagi.

Yukiko Fujimine interrupted, "There's no need for that. The silencer is on Mr. Ueki."

"It was hidden in his sock."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru knelt down to check. "Excuse me, Mr. Ueki."

He lifted up the leg of Ueki Kusaba's pants, and sure enough, the silencer was hidden in his sock.

Takagi Wataru took out the silencer and discovered that Ueki Kusahachi's leg had been burned. "Wait, your foot is burned!"

Ueki Kusahachi frankly stated, "This pain is nothing compared to protecting the garden that my late wife loved most."

Chapter 188 Sister Takes You for a Ride

Seeing that Ueki Kusahachi had confessed to his crime, Fujimine Yukiko winked playfully at Kitagawa Taki.

Kitagawa Taki understood and gave her a thumbs up.

Inspector Megure noticed their subtle movements; how could he not understand?

It turns out it was Kitagawa's doing. He was wondering how Yukiko had suddenly become so amazing.

Inspector Megure had gotten used to Kitagawa Taki's quick problem-solving skills.

Fujieda Shigeru sighed, "Mr. Ueki, you..."

Ueki Kusahachi had no regrets whatsoever. “This courtyard has been cherished and maintained by my wife since she was a child. I will absolutely not allow this master, who has no relation to me, to run amok in this mansion.”

Fujieda Mikio married into the family, but now he plans to sell the house.

This was something that Kusaba Ueki, who had been the housekeeper of this family his whole life and had watched his wife grow up, could not tolerate.

Fujieda Suka said unhappily, "So you're the murderer! I thought it was Fujieda Shigeru! This means I'll get half less of the inheritance. I even hired a detective to try and catch him."

As soon as Fujieda Mikio died, Fujieda Soka's true intentions were revealed.

"Mrs. Suhua, please pay the ten million yen reward for finding the murderer." Eri Kisaki took out the contract that Kogoro Mouri had signed earlier.

Fujieda Soka said, "Eh? Wasn't Mikio already killed?"

Eri Kisaki pointed to the contract and said, "But the contract doesn't say anything about protecting Mr. Fujieda's life!"

"Forget it, anyway, we have Mikio's inheritance, so ten million is nothing." Fujieda Suka crossed her arms.

Eri pushed up her glasses. "Just a reminder, all of Mr. Fujieda's assets will be frozen until the inheritance procedures for Mr. Fujieda are confirmed. You can only use your own assets to pay for now."

"what?"

Fujieda Suka's face turned green.

……

After leaving the Fujie residence, Fujimine Yukiko used the excuse of borrowing Kitagawa Taki's luxury car to let Ran and Conan ride in Eri Kisaki's car.

"Yukiko, where's your car?"

Kitagawa Taki, sitting in the passenger seat, asked.

He didn't believe that Fujimine Yukiko would be interested in his car; with her wealth, a car like this was no problem for her.

Yukiko Fujimine chuckled, "My car is still sitting in the repair shop!"

"Really?" Kitagawa Taki asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Come on, let's go for a ride!"

As soon as Fujimine Yukiko finished speaking, the car shot off like an arrow released from a bow.

Looking at the speedometer readings soaring, Kitagawa Taki reminded him, "The speed limit on this road is 60."

Yukiko Fujimine smiled confidently, "It's okay, trust my driving skills!"

Kitagawa Taki was embarrassed. Was it a problem with his driving skills?

Yukiko Fujimine lowered the car window slightly, causing her hair to fly wildly.

"Alas!"

……

roadside.

Yumi Miyamoto and Naeko Miike are on night patrol duty.

"Miaozi, what should we get for a late-night snack after get off work?" Miyamoto Yumi was fretting over what to eat.

Miike Naeko smiled helplessly, "Yumi, it's up to you. I'm fine with anything."

She had only just started work when Yumi Miyamoto was already thinking about what to eat after get off work.

Yumi Miyamoto nodded, then suddenly said, "Next week, Naoko, why don't you come to the social gathering with me too?"

Miike Naeko said, "Well... I think I'll pass."

Yumi Miyamoto nudged Naeko Miike: "Hey, Naeko, don't be shy! Go to more matchmaking events, you're sure to find the one that's right for you!"

Miike Naeko wanted to say something more.

Just then, Kitagawa Taki's car sped past them.

"Can't this guy see our police car? How dare he speed in front of me!"

Miyamoto Yumi stepped on the gas and chased after it.

Soon, we saw the rear of Kitagawa Taki's car again.

Yumi Miyamoto murmured, "This license plate number looks familiar... Could it be a repeat offender?"

……

In Kitagawa Taki's car.

Kitagawa Taki reminded her again, "Hey, Yukiko, there are police behind us."

Yukiko Fujimine glanced at the rearview mirror. "Watch me shake him off!"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head, rubbing his forehead. Even if he could shake him off now, he definitely wouldn't escape punishment.

However, let's indulge ourselves with Yukiko Fujimine for now!

Anyway, he's a seasoned outlaw himself.

Seeing that the car in front of her was accelerating instead of stopping, Miyamoto Yumi got excited and sped up to catch up.
