I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Then came the familiar screams.

Very well, a heinous murder has occurred.

Chen En's face darkened, and then he heard the crowd on the other side exclaiming about maintaining the original appearance of the crime scene and calling the police, before they quieted down after a while.

Conan then had time to call Chen En back and explain the situation.

...The situation on site is a bit complicated.

Fujieda Mikio died in his study.

According to the surveillance footage from the study, while reading, Fujieda Mikio suddenly raised his hands toward the window, and then fell to one side, dying instantly.

Based on the scene, there was a hole in the study window, possibly caused by a bullet.

It is suspected that someone shot and killed Fujieda Mikio outside the study, and that two shots were fired in total. The gunshots were heard after Fujieda Mikio fell down, and it is suspected that the first shot was shot with a silencer.

The suspects are Fujieda Mikio's wife, Fujieda Soka; Fujieda Shigeru, who was writing a novel in his room at the time; the housekeeper, Ueki Kusahachi; and Doi Kōzō, who was tending to the flowers and plants outside the window.

"Chen En, what do you think?"

Conan asked seriously.

Upon hearing this, Chen En stroked his chin and asked a question.

Who was with you when Ran Mouri scored?

Conan: ?

How did you know Xiaolan broke down the door?

Although puzzled, I still answered.

"Mr. Fujieda Shigeru was with us at the time. Fujieda Motoka went to get the landline phone to call the police, and then went back to her room..."

Chen En nodded slightly, then pulled Yuanzi, who was already drunk and had been drinking something, over. Yuanzi looked completely bewildered, and then he asked directly.

"Sonoko, among the four people—Fujieda Soka, Fujieda Shigeru, Ueki Kusahachi, and Doi Kōzō—which name do you think sounds like the murderer?"

The Queen of Deduction paused for a moment, then spoke.

"I...I don't know. If you let me hear the name, it might be Soo-fu-kozo...?"

Hearing this, Chen En nodded slightly, and then spoke directly to Conan.

"The culprit is Ueki Kusahachi, just give him a ball."

Conan on the other end of the phone: ?

Chapter 1064 Does Chen En think he's your king or queen, that he can just arrest whoever he wants?

"Wait a minute, my magical artifact was right here, how could it just disappear?"

"Which bastard is so skilled? I've been in the Tokyo magic circle for so many years, and I've never seen a magician with such proficient thieving techniques. It's truly bizarre!"

Inside a manor on the outskirts of Tokyo, one of Yusaku Kudo's friends is complaining.

He's never been robbed by any other magician in all his life.

The main problem is, what's the point of stealing someone else's magical items? Everyone's magic school is different. It's not like you know how to use them just because you took them. What kind of genius would learn so many kinds of magic just to steal a few things from someone else?

Yusaku Kudo pushed up his glasses, looking somewhat helpless.

He did manage to figure something out.

Just as this friend said, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for people in the Tokyo magic world to be so despicable as to learn multiple spells just to steal a few coins from others.

However, that was under normal circumstances; the problem is that the current situation is not quite normal.

He only knew one such scoundrel in the magical world.

However, deciding exactly where to look for it is still a difficult question...

Just as Kudo Yusaku was pondering where to look for the person.

His phone suddenly rang at that moment.

Kudo Yusaku's friend, who was standing next to him, seemed a little confused, but still gestured to Kudo Yusaku that he would go out for a moment so that Kudo Yusaku could take the call.

Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly in thanks before pressing the call button.

The voice that came through the phone was that of Yukiko Kudo.

"Yusaku, a heinous murder has occurred, what should we do?"

"Has a heinous murder occurred?"

Upon hearing Yukiko Kudo's words, Yusaku Kudo was taken aback.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, tell me what's going on first."

Just as Kudo Yukiko was about to speak.

But then they heard the police siren outside Fujie's house.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers have never been so efficient, possibly due to the increased patrols by police officers throughout Tokyo following the opening of Chen En Enterprises this morning.

Yukiko Kudo immediately said.

"Yusaku, wait a moment. I'll ask Inspector Megure to help me gather some clues and then I'll let you know."

"Soon, Shinichi will be right next to us!"

Shinichi? He's at Fujieda Shigeru's house too?

Kudo Yusaku was somewhat surprised by this.

He nodded slightly and said.

"Okay, I won't hang up. Yukiko, please collect the evidence and let me know."

Before long, Yukiko Kudo informed Yusaku Kudo of the details of the case.

The details of the case she told Yusaku Kudo were more detailed than those Conan gave, because Inspector Megure and others participated in the investigation and found the murder weapon used to kill the victim at the scene.

It was a Type 45 pistol, which was wrapped in a handkerchief and then thrown on the ground.

The forensic team has already examined the fingerprints on the handgun, but according to Yusaku Kudo, there shouldn't be any fingerprints left by the murderer. However, the current clues should be enough to solve the case.

Yusaku Kudo stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Then, please tell Shinichi for me... just say, it's a wrong road sign."

His words immediately surprised Yukiko Kudo on the other end of the phone.

We've been married for so long, and you're still here playing the riddle-solver for me.

Believe it or not, I'll drag Chen En over and beat you up.

Riddler, get out of Beika Town!

Yukiko Kudo's face darkened as soon as she hung up the phone.

She is currently in the Fujieda family's living room. The four suspects in this case have been apprehended by Inspector Megure and his men, and are seated on either side of the sofa for questioning and questioning.

From the very beginning, after making a phone call to someone, Conan kept stroking his chin, seemingly deep in thought.

Yukiko Kudo sighed, then reached out and ruffled Conan's hair, making him look up at her. She then knelt down and whispered something in Conan's ear.

"Yusaku just asked me to tell you... there's an incorrect road sign."

...An incorrect road sign?

A hint of surprise appeared in Conan's eyes.

He immediately turned to look at the book in the study, the one that the deceased Fujieda Mikio had been reading, with a bookmark on it. He hadn't noticed it before.

But now that Yusaku Kudo has said that, he immediately understands the specific reason.

It turned out to be an incorrect road sign.

While pondering the case, Eri Kisaki was curious about what Yukiko Kudo was whispering to Conan, while Yukiko Kudo vigorously rubbed Conan's head, which had been pierced by a white light.

As a mother, I knew Conan had solved the case as soon as I saw this special effect.

She was just about to use her bloodline as a mother to suppress Conan and make him tell her the whole truth so she could show off, but before Yukiko Kudo could even ask, Eri Kisaki had already come over and asked in confusion.

"Yukiko, why are you asking Conan about the truth of the case?"

Upon hearing this, Yukiko Kudo and Conan, in perfect unison, adopted an expression that said, "No, no, you're overthinking it."

Inspector Megure and Ran Mouri were also drawn to the scene, seemingly curious as to why Yukiko Kudo would do such a thing. Conan twitched his lips and said helplessly.

"I just called Chen En's brother, and he told me that the murderer is..."

He pointed to the butler, Zhimu Caoba.

"It's you, old butler Ueki Kusahachi!"

These words shocked everyone present.

Even the other three suspects were stunned and quickly asked.

Who is Chen En?

Although Chen En was indeed very famous this morning.

However, under normal circumstances, no one would associate an entrepreneur with a detective who can solve a case remotely based solely on a case description and partial evidence, especially since that detective is not very famous.

Therefore, these people really don't know who Chen En, whom Conan is talking about, is.

On the contrary, Inspector Megure got excited when he heard Chen En say that Ueki Kusaba was the murderer.

"It has to be Brother Chen En. Even though he's not physically there, he can still help me get off work sooner!"

"Mr. Ueki, please come inside!"

He immediately called to the officers on either side, preparing to take Ueki Kusahachi back first.

Immediately, Zhimu Caoba was stunned.

He had been a housekeeper for decades and had never encountered anything so strange.
