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

Not a buddy.

He says I'm the murderer, so I am the murderer! There's no reasoning, no evidence, so what makes you say I'm the murderer? Is that so-called Chen En your godfather? You think you can just listen to whatever he says?

"I immediately shouted!"

"If you say I'm the murderer, then show me your reasoning and the evidence!"

"It's a bit too suspicious that they would arrest me with just a few words!"

"Are you just randomly arresting people and closing a case?"

Chapter 1065 Solving the Case Remotely

Not only the planters and grasses disagree.

Even when the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department came along, some of the officers who had little contact with Chen En were not entirely in favor. They looked at each other, none of them daring to personally step forward and arrest him.

Only Officer Chiba and Officer Takagi are honest people; they can get started right away.

However, seeing that no one seemed to understand, and considering the reputation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Megure had no choice but to ask Takagi and Chiba to stop, coughed twice, and then spoke.

"Hey Conan, did Brother Chen En ever explain the reasoning process to you? You should take it out quickly."

"So that everyone will be convinced."

At this point, Conan's mind immediately began to race.

He had just broken into the room and, without finding any clues such as bookmarks, pistols, or handkerchiefs in the study, immediately called Chen En. At that time, Chen En told him that the murderer was Ueki Kusahachi.

However, Conan was completely baffled by this.

If the murderer really is Ueki Kusahachi, then why?

Why was Chen En able to conclude that the murderer was Ueki Kusahachi? No matter how he applied the existing evidence, he couldn't deduce that Ueki Kusahachi was the murderer.

Now the clues are gradually becoming more complete, and Yusaku Kudo has also given some hints.

Conan then realized that Chen En's initial judgment was correct.

That's right, Ueki Kusahachi is the murderer.

Because this person confused the time of the victim's death, and only he could have done it, it is possible that he is the murderer, and no one else is possible!

Conan adjusted his non-prescription glasses.

Just as he was about to ponder, he saw Eri Kisaki next to him turn her head to look at his phone and find that there was no text on it at all. This immediately interrupted Conan's deduction process, leaving him completely stumped.

He coughed twice and immediately pressed the call button for Chen En.

Never mind, since Chen En was able to solve the case from the very beginning, he should be able to explain his reasoning process now, right?

At this moment, Chen En, who was driving Suzuki Sonoko, Suzuki Jirokichi, and Suzuki Shiro back to the Suzuki Estate, didn't even bother to press the answer button on his phone and simply said...

"Noah's Ark, please transfer my phone message to the headset..."

"Who called me at this time?"

Inside the living room of the Fujie family.

Everyone waited for Chen En's reply on the other end of the phone, while Conan spoke the moment the call connected.

"A wrong road sign."

His words puzzled those around him, but after learning that it was a hint that Yusaku Kudo had given to Yukiko Kudo, everyone realized and didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just something he did on a whim.

Chen En was taken aback by these nonsensical words, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them and simply said...

"Are you calling to confirm whether Ueki Kusahachi is the real murderer?"

"I can tell you with certainty that Ueki Kusahachi is the real murderer. You only need to make one very simple judgment to know... that is the sound of gunshots."

"Conan and his friends saw Fujieda Mikio raise his hands and then fall down in the monitoring room, and concluded that Fujieda Mikio had been shot."

"This seems reasonable and consistent with the final facts, but the actual situation is not like that. The reason is that when Fujieda Mikio raised his hands and fell down in the monitoring room, there was no gunshot."

"Both gunshots rang out after everyone left the monitoring room."

"In other words, the deceased did not die from a gunshot wound when he first collapsed, but from some other factor... perhaps he was drugged, or there was a needle with anesthetic on the sofa. You can collect evidence and conduct tests to find out."

"After confirming this, we can then determine the actual time of death of the deceased."

"The two last gunshots killed the victim. These two gunshots occurred after everyone left the monitoring room and before they broke in. In other words, the suspect in the murder is the criminal suspect whose location could not be determined at that time."

“Shigeru Fujieda was with Ran Mouri at the time, so his suspicion of murder can be ruled out.”

"Fujieda Suka chose to call the police immediately after the incident. According to the police's call records, it can be determined at what time Fujieda Suka was using the landline."

"All we need to do is determine whether Fujieda Motoka had time to go outside the study to shoot Fujieda Mikio after leaving the monitoring room, and then return to her room before breaking down the door..."

"I judge that she probably didn't have that much time to act."

“She was the last to leave the monitoring room. After leaving the monitoring room, she went back to her room and took about... I guess about 1 to 2 minutes to call the police. From the time she left the monitoring room to when Ran Mouri broke down the door, it was only three minutes.”

"It's impossible to do a quick round trip and kill someone in one minute, so there are only two suspects left."

"One is planting trees and grass, and the other is cultivating soil and fertilizer."

Chen En spoke quickly.

"The soil and fertilizer are being cultivated in the flower nursery, and the monitoring system can capture images of the lights moving around."

"Admittedly, it is possible to tie lights to tree branches and use the wind to create the illusion of floating lights, but Tufei Cultivation has no chance to enter the study to create a time-sensitive trap."

“He didn’t leave the flowerbed the whole time, so it’s impossible for him to set up the trap on the sofa or coffee as I said.”

"Ueki Kusahachi could have used the excuse of needing to go back to his room to get his key to leave, circled around the study to shoot Fujieda Mikio, and then run back to the broken-down door with the key, even if it was a little late."

“The situation was urgent, and he was old, so no one thought there would be any problem if he ran slowly…”

"We just need to let the police test it out, to see how long it takes to get from Ueki Kusahachi's room to the study door. I guess even walking would be more than enough, it shouldn't take three minutes."

"Furthermore, he was responsible for delivering coffee to Fujieda Mikio in the study, and was fully capable of drugging or setting traps."

"...That should be enough, right?"

His words stunned Conan, who was holding his phone.

Dude, I thought you guessed that the killer fired a shot with a silencer.

You have no idea that the killer used a silencer.

So they directly ruled out the possibility that the victim was shot at the beginning and that the killer used a silencer, and then proceeded directly and brutally to the final truth?

If Chen En knew what Conan was thinking, he might say...

Let me give you a piece of my mind. The evidence you gave me is only half of what Yukiko Kudo gave Yusaku Kudo. I'll use the Suzuki process of elimination to help you solve the case quickly, that's about enough. What more could you want?

At this moment, even Ueki Kusahachi fell silent.

He paused for a moment, then finally asked.

"How did you know that I didn't use a silencer to shoot Master Fujieda with one shot at the beginning, and then turn around and fire two more shots as a distraction, but instead fired three shots at once, one with a silencer and two with live ammunition?"

Chen En: ?

You still have a silencer?

Having a silencer doesn't matter. No one else could fire the last two shots except you. Unless Tsuchio Kozo is an idiot, it's impossible for him to fire two more shots before Ran Mouri breaks through the goal, after one shot kills him.

Isn't that just courting death?

Chapter 1066 The Biggest Winner of the Case: Rei Furuya's Lover

The entire room fell silent after Chen En finished his reasoning.

Ueki Kusakabe had mixed feelings.

Until the very end, when the call ended, Chen En never explained how he deduced that Fujieda Kageki's initial conclusion was not that someone had shot him with a silencer.

But he still confessed.

As soon as Chen En finished speaking, Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu rushed off with forensic officers to analyze the coffee in the cup and check if there were any hidden mechanisms in the chair.

He did indeed poison the coffee—no, it wasn't poison, it was medicine.

Ueki Kusahachi added isoproterenol to Fujieda Kinoshita's coffee.

This medicine is the one that Ueki Kusahachi usually uses to treat his asthma. The only reason is that isoproterenol was detected in the coffee, and he was the only one who had ever delivered coffee to Fujieda Mikio.

The label of murderer has been firmly attached to him and cannot be removed.

Whether or not the silencer was found is no longer the most important thing.

The real, decisive evidence has been found; the silencer is merely a necessary but insufficient piece of evidence.

Soon, Takagi Wataru returned with forensic officers, looking as if they had found a treasure, carrying the coffee cup that Fujieda Mikio had used, and said that it did indeed contain special drug ingredients different from coffee.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Ueki Kusahachi.

Just then, Conan quietly approached Yukiko Kudo from behind, crouched down, and used the bow tie voice changer to speak in Yukiko Kudo's voice.

"The special medicinal ingredient in coffee is isoproterenol, which is used to treat asthma."

"And coincidentally, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi had his asthma relapse because he had been forced to clean the warehouse by Mr. Fujieda Mikio, and he happened to have this medicine on him."

"Simply testing the two drug components will determine whether this is true."

"In addition, according to the forensic examination, there were three bullets in Mr. Fujieda Mikio's body, but only two gunshots were heard at the scene... The first gunshot occurred a few seconds after the glass shattered."

"That means there must have been another shot that shattered the glass. The second and third shots were the first and second shots that we heard, just like what Fujieda Mikio asked Mr. Chen En about."
