"In this way, based on the several diagrams of the Japanese syllabary blocks provided by Mr. Nakaji Kōnan."

"The result is four kana characters: 【い、わ、と、み】... With that, the culprit can be identified!"

Can the murderer be identified then?

Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure exchanged a glance. They subconsciously rearranged the four aliases, and when they got to the third one, they both turned to look at Iwatomo, one of the suspects.

【いわとみ】, isn't that the same as 【岩富】 in the surname Iwatomi?

Iwato looked around, and finally pointed to himself in disbelief.

"Huh? I'm the murderer?"

No, Your Honor, I'm innocent!

However, this reasonable reasoning has convinced Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri.

"I said smugly."

"You mentioned it when you introduced yourself earlier."

"If the president were dead, you could inherit this toy research company. I think that's why you killed the president, trying to seize his fortune, isn't it?"

"Just admit it now, maybe you'll get a reduced sentence later."

Inspector Megure nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, let's talk about it when we get back to the station."

"I will give you time to contact your lawyer."

In this way, it seems that the overall situation has been settled.

The girls' team members immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ran Mouri smiled and said to Kazuha Toyama next to her.

"Great, Kazuha, we won."

"So you can go see the Takarazuka performance now, right?"

Only Sonoko Suzuki felt that something was amiss.

She didn't think the case was that simple, because Chen En had actually asked four questions at once, and Toyama Kazuha had only answered the last two.

How can you possibly get 100% marks if you only write 50% of the answers on a test?

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Heiji Hattori and Conan, who was being held in Heiji Hattori's arms.

Just as Sonoko Suzuki had expected.

The famous detective from Kansai and Little Robin from Batman both had serious expressions on their faces, as if they felt that this was not the real truth and that the real culprit was someone else.

She couldn't help but subconsciously think about the first two questions Chen En had just raised.

Why would a murderer deliberately give the victim the opportunity to know they are dead?

What purpose did the murderer have in giving the victim the opportunity to leave a message of death?

Looking at Iwatoshi, who was surrounded by Kogoro Mouri, Inspector Megure, and Wataru Takagi, and seemed about to be pinned to the ground and taken back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for questioning.

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly had a breakthrough in her intelligence.

She quickly pointed at Yan Fuchuang and said loudly.

"Wait a minute, Yan Fuchuang isn't the real murderer!"

"The real killer is someone else."

"Moreover, the murderer's purpose was to make the victim leave the information that Iwatofuchi was the murderer, so he specifically gave the victim the opportunity to leave this information..."

"Otherwise, if Iwatoshi had committed the crime, wouldn't he have just taken the four building blocks left behind by the deceased?"

"Or we could have simply not poured the blocks and ink on the ground in the first place, giving the deceased a chance to leave a message about their death!"

Just moments before, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri, who were about to continue their attack, turned to look at Sonoko Suzuki, their eyes filled with shock.

My goodness, is this something Sonoko Suzuki would say?

I tested it, and it seems I've become intelligent!

Does she really have the talent to become a master detective?

At that very moment, Takagi Wataru's phone rang. He instinctively pressed the answer button and held it to his ear, then turned to Inspector Megure in shock and shouted.

"Inspector Megure, Officer Chiba just told me..."

"Mr. Iwatoshi's eyewitness has been found!"

Chapter 1093 Hattori Heiji: Hehe, I must win!

Takagi Wataru's words immediately shocked everyone present.

Have the eyewitnesses to Yan Fuchuang been found?

Did someone actually see Iwafuku Chuang at the final round of a golf tournament?

Inspector Megure turned to Wataru Takagi with some disbelief and asked.

Is this true or false?

"I searched for a month and a half and couldn't find it, but then this afternoon, just when I was about to be accused of being the murderer, you found it for me? Are you messing with me?"

Where in this world do so many coincidences come from?

However, Takagi Wataru shook his head at this moment.

He said it seriously.

"It should be true."

"Because someone took photos at the crime scene, and Yan Fuchuang happened to be in one of them. A month and a half later, when he looked at the photos, he realized that he looked just like the person the police had mentioned."

"The photos have been sent to Chiba and will be delivered soon."

Even if you say that, photos can still be photoshopped, right?

Although Inspector Megure really wanted to complain.

But he also knew that it was most likely just a coincidence.

Although Toyama Kazuha's words were indeed reasonable and well-founded, the issues raised by Suzuki Sonoko and Chen En earlier could not be ignored. It was impossible for Iwatoshi Hajime to intentionally leave the deceased with the opportunity to record his death.

Even if he knew, he couldn't possibly have known that on this very day someone would accuse him of being the murderer.

Although the coincidences are so striking and somewhat strange, there is currently no other explanation.

"...It seems that Mr. Iwatomi really couldn't be the murderer."

Inspector Megure sighed and said this.

However, Kogoro Mouri, who was standing next to him, was still somewhat skeptical. He subconsciously moved closer to Iwatofuji and asked in Iwatofuji's ear.

“Hey, Mr. Iwatomi, tell the truth.”

"Do you have a twin brother who can go to the golf tournament in your place and create an alibi for you? If so, it's not impossible..."

Yan Fuchuang's face darkened.

That's enough.

Where did I get a twin brother who can go to the golf tournament in my place?

If such a person really exists, do you think the police wouldn't be able to find any information about him?

My family isn't some prestigious clan; do you think we could fool the police? You overestimate my family!

Seeing that Iwato has now obtained an alibi, the suspicion of murder can be basically ruled out.

The other three suspects immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

With Iwato's suspicion of committing the crime cleared, the possibility of murder now falls on the three of them, and the chances of the one who was originally considered the murderer are even greater.

It seems they will have to be more careful going forward to avoid being arrested by the police and implicated as murderers.

Inspector Megure turned to Sonoko Suzuki and asked.

"Since Sonoko-san just said something like that, she must have some opinions about it, right?"

"Could you share your reasoning on this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki subconsciously scratched the back of her head.

She just had a sudden inspiration and brought up Chen En's previous question; if you asked him to explain it, he really wouldn't be able to give a coherent answer.

So, Suzuki Sonoko subconsciously turned her head to look at Chen En beside her.

Finally, he made a decision, thinking that since Chen En would be there to cover for him no matter what, he might as well just do what Uncle Mori said before he fell asleep, which was also a way out.

In any case, the final result is about the same; her solving cases and Chen En's solving cases are the same.

With this in mind, Sonoko Suzuki once again reviewed the four questions that Chen En had previously raised.

Previously, only two of Toyama Kazuha's questions had been answered.

To determine the true identity of the murderer, she needed to solve the answers to the previous two questions. After a moment's thought, she spoke in front of Conan and Heiji Hattori's surprised gazes.

"...Arn just told us not to think about why the killer would deliberately leave a message of death for the victim, but to think about whether the killer would not have been able to achieve their goal if they hadn't left a message of death for the victim?"

"From that perspective, the murderer had a reason to make the victim leave Mr. Iwatomi's name."

Sonoko Suzuki stroked her chin, carefully considering the matter.

"From this perspective, the real culprit should be one of the people present who had a grudge against Mr. Iwatomi, because a page was torn off the calendar at the crime scene."

"This is something that could only have been done by one of the four people who entered the crime scene together at the time."

Her words immediately drew everyone's attention to the calendar hanging on the wall, and sure enough, just as Suzuki Sonoko had said, a page was indeed missing.

The calendar, which should have shown June, is instead showing July.

Yan Fuchuang immediately felt a tightness in his chest.
