"Mr. Fujisawa, what's wrong with you?"
"It looks like someone broke through the window and escaped."
Amidst the chaos, the lights finally came back on.
Fujisawa Toshiaki lay on the ground with a look of pain on his face, an ice pick stuck in his arm and blood flowing down the cone.
Iwai Hitomi quickly took out the medical kit and bandaged Iwai Hitomi's wound.
"Damn it, who is the murderer?" Seeing people being attacked one after another, Kawazu Ikuo frowned in annoyance.
Maria Toda affirmed, "It must be the hotel owner. After faking his death, he's been hiding somewhere in this hotel. After burning Miss Ayako to death in the garage, he attacked Mr. Fujisawa with an ice pick and then escaped by breaking the window."
Fujisawa Toshiaki gritted his teeth, seemingly convinced that his boss was the murderer. "Damn it! Why would he plot against me? I helped him when he wanted to publish his book."
"Book?"
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then walked over and asked, "Mr. Fujisawa, what do you mean by published books?"
Fujisawa Toshiaki explained: "It's the Sherlock Holmes book he published at his own expense last year. I remember the title was 'The Laughter of Irene Yardra'."
Irene Yadela?
Hattori Heiji fell into deep thought.
Maori Kogoro looked at Iwai Hitomi and said, "Ms. Iwai, the power outage is because the fuse is blown, right?"
Iwai Hitomi nodded. "Yes, I was about to plug in the coffee maker when the power went out with a sudden click."
"Can you let us see it?"
"it is good."
The group came to the kitchen. Maori Kogoro picked up the plug and frowned. "There's a thin wire wrapped around the plug. As long as someone plugs it in, it will cause a short circuit. But where did the murderer get the wire?"
"This should be it." Hattori Heiji pointed to the coffee label on the counter. "It's tied with wire, and the size is the same as the one on the plug."
As he spoke, he looked at Iwai Hitomi: "Ms. Iwai, who opened the package?"
Iwai Hitomi looked at Toju Kento and Kawazu Ikuo: "It's Mr. Kawazu and Mr. Toju."
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Tojukento and Kawazu Ikuo.
Maria Toda's eyes were filled with vigilance: "Could the murderer be among you two?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean..." Tojukento said with dissatisfaction: "Just because Mr. Kawazu and I opened the package, you think we are suspects? Don't forget, we were all together when Ayako died."
"Indeed...it is true."
Maria Toda couldn't refute this fact: "So, the murderer is indeed the boss."
Seeing that the time was almost right, Watanabe Toru wasted no time and immediately took control of Maori Kogoro's thoughts. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Toju, I have to admit that your method of committing crimes was very perfect and caused me trouble for a while. However, any crime will have omissions. Now, let me uncover the truth of these two murders."
……
Faced with the evidence pointed out by Maori Kogoro, Tojuken fell to his knees with a thud, gritting his teeth with an unwilling look on his face: "Damn it..."
Seeing that he admitted that he was the murderer, Fujisawa Toshiaki stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and glared at him, "Why did you kill me and the boss? There shouldn't be any hatred between us, right?"
Maori Kogoro said calmly: "According to my speculation, the reason should be the book "The Laugh of Irene Yadra"."
"What?" Fujisawa Toshiaki looked stunned. He was almost killed just because of a book?
Ikuo Kawazu, who is also a Sherlock Holmes fan, seemed to guess something: "It's because that book brought shame to Sherlock Holmes, so you..."
Tojuken sneered, "On the contrary, Irene is the only woman Holmes recognizes. In that case, how could she possibly laugh at him? Therefore, I absolutely cannot forgive such a thing. No... absolutely not..."
Watanabe Toru didn't know how to evaluate Kento Toju, who killed two people for a character in a book. Perhaps he was too immersed in the play and had long since lost the distinction between reality and the fictional world.
……
Maori Kogoro slowly regained consciousness and was slightly startled when he saw Tojukento kneeling on the ground. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Hattori Heiji came over and said in amazement, "Uncle, when did you find the evidence?"
After the murder, he was mostly with Maori Kogoro, but he never showed any remarkable performance. However, Maori Kogoro 767 used his unparalleled reasoning to make the criminal confess. If it weren't for his belief in science, Hattori Heiji would even doubt whether this Maori uncle had another soul.
evidence?
Kogoro Mori was stunned.
Xiaolan also came over and said in disbelief, "Dad, you've read Sherlock Holmes? You even know the relationship between Irene and Sherlock Holmes..."
Who is Irene?
Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth. Judging from what Hattori Heiji and Ran said, it seemed that he had solved another case?
The murderer is Tojukento?
I had felt that something was wrong with this guy a long time ago, but I didn't expect that he was actually the criminal. It seems that my intuition is quite accurate.
Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro suddenly became proud and laughed heartily, "As an excellent detective, any suspicious points will be deeply imprinted in his mind. After repeated analysis, he can deduce the truth of the case. As for Irene, I happen to have heard of this person..."
He cleverly answered the questions from Hattori Heiji and Ran.

202. Vermouth's Temptation
On October 5th, the weather cleared up.
Teitan Elementary School, first grade, Class B.
Kobayashi Sumiko stood on the podium, looking at the students sitting upright below.
"Last week's exam results are out. Because the questions were difficult, many students didn't get very good scores. The teacher hopes everyone won't be discouraged and will continue to work hard to achieve satisfactory results in the next exam."
After a pause, Kobayashi Sumiko glanced at Watanabe Toru and Haibara, then continued, "However, two students still received full marks on this exam. Watanabe-san, Haibara-san, I hope everyone can learn from these two students. Okay, now, please come up and get your test papers, students whose names have been announced."
After class...
Haibara and Watanabe Toru were surrounded by their classmates.
There was an endless stream of praise.
"Watanabe-san, you're amazing! This exam was very difficult. I only got 80 points."
"Watanabe-san seems to always get full marks on exams, right?"
"I'm so envious! My dad said that if I can get full marks on the exam, he will take me to Hokkaido to ski."
"Watanabe-san, if I have any questions in the future, can I ask you for help?"
The person who said this was a female classmate. Ayumi, who was originally proud of Watanabe Toru, instantly restrained her smile and frowned and said, "Toru is very busy. If you have any questions, just ask the teacher."
The girl was unconvinced: "I just asked Watanabe Toru questions when he was free."
Ayumi didn't give in at all: "Xiaotuo is a member of the Junior Detective Team. When he is free, he also has to deal with the matters entrusted by our detective team, right, Xiaotuo?"
Watanabe Toru: “…”
……
Finally, it was time to go home from school.
Watanabe Toru and others walked out of the school gate. Suddenly, a Mazda on the roadside beeped twice. After attracting the children's attention, the window slowly rolled down, revealing a bright face wearing sunglasses.
"Xiao Che." The woman gave a mischievous smile. "Are you surprised that your aunt is here to pick you up from school? Are you happy?"
Vermouth? Watanabe Toru was stunned. Why did this woman come here?
He subconsciously glanced at Huibara, and sure enough, his friend's face had turned pale, his eyes were filled with fear, and half of his body was hidden behind him.
Even though Vermouth changed her face, could she still smell the danger?
"Ah... is it Xiaotetsu's aunt?"
"My aunt is so beautiful."
"Hello, auntie, my name is Ayumi."
"I'm Mitsuhiko."
"I'm Genta."
Ayumi and the other two have already greeted Vermouth.
Vermouth responded with a smile: "Hello, it's great that our little Che has so many friends. By the way, do you want some ice cream?"
"Is it okay?" The children's eyes lit up and they said in unison, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome, everyone please get in the car first."
Seeing Huiyuan standing there motionless, looking very reluctant to get in the car, Watanabe Toru patted her back gently and said comfortingly: "Just get in the car first, it's okay."
Huibara gave him a complicated look before moving her feet.
……
After eating the ice cream, the children said goodbye to Vermouth and Toru Watanabe.
In the car, Watanabe Toru put away his childishness, looked at Vermouth and asked, "Why did you come here so suddenly? Without even saying hello in advance."
Vermouth giggled, her charming eyes somewhat seductive: "Why? Did it bother you from hooking up with those little girls?"
Watanabe Toru remained calm and did not respond to her.
She continued to talk to herself, "Curaçao is in Beika Town. That woman is really capable. She knew you were here just by looking at a photo. She is worthy of being the one that Rum has his eyes on."
"Photo?" Watanabe Toru was stunned.
Vermouth said: "It's the photo I took of you and me at the hotel last time. I shouldn't have sent it to her..."
Watanabe Toru was furious: "Didn't you promise me not to release it to the public?"
Vermouth comforted her, "Don't worry, I didn't send it to anyone except Curacao."
"Then I should thank you, right?" Watanabe Toru glared at her.
Vermouth narrowed her eyes, and stroked Watanabe Toru's face with her slender green jade fingers, raising the corner of her mouth: "This is the struggle between women."
Watanabe Toru: “…”
"Oh right." Vermouth suddenly thought of something: "I remember that among those children who were always inseparable from you, there was a boy wearing glasses. Why didn't I see him today?"
"Conan?" Watanabe Toru said, "He went to Country M."
"Country M?" Vermouth was stunned: "What are we going there for?"
"He injured his leg in an explosion. The doctors in Wano Country were unable to treat him, so he went to Country M to try his luck."
"Explosion?" Vermouth frowned: "When did this happen?"
Watanabe Toru glanced at her and said calmly, "It was the day Tequila was blown to death."
Vermouth opened her mouth and asked: "Was that cool guy there that day too?"
"Cool-guy?" Watanabe Toru looked at her deeply, a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Vermouth, did you use the wrong word? Or did you blurt it out without any precautions?"
Vermouth's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal: "It was just a slip of the tongue."
"Really?" Watanabe Toru narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Actually, you're not wrong to say that. After all, his real identity is Kudo Shinichi. It's not wrong to say he's a guy."
After Vermouth said cool-guy, Watanabe Toru guessed that this woman might have realized that Conan was Kudo Shinichi. In this case (Zhao Wang Zhao), he didn't need to hide it anymore, so let's speak frankly.
Vermouth's expression finally changed. After a long silence, she asked, "When did you know?"
Watanabe Toru sneered, "This guy's behavior is too obvious, especially when it comes to cases. He doesn't act like a child at all. I started to suspect him because one day I accidentally revealed the code names of Gin and Vodka. I still remember his expression at that time. From then on, I knew that Conan was not as simple as he seemed."
Vermouth took a deep breath and couldn't help complaining: "What a fool who doesn't know how to live or die."
Watanabe Toru remained noncommittal: "What about you? When did you start to doubt it?"
Vermouth said: "I accidentally saw the list of the experimental subjects of the organization aptx-4869, and Kudo Shinichi's name was on it." Lu.
203. Shura Field
Vermouth said slowly: "So, I contacted Yukiko in the name of 'Sharon's daughter' and asked about her son's situation indirectly, but still got nothing. That's when I thought of the little boy named Conan. He looks very similar to Yukiko's child when he was a child. Since you can restore your child's appearance after taking aptx-4869, is it possible that he is also the same? The time he appeared coincides with the time when Kudo Shinichi disappeared. So, I can basically conclude that he is Kudo Shinichi."
"Very good reasoning." Watanabe Toru applauded. "Although there is no evidence, with so many doubts supporting it, it can indeed be determined that Conan is Kudo Shinichi. But Vermouth, you seem to be too concerned about the news about Kudo Shinichi, aren't you?"
Vermouth stared at Watanabe Toru's expressionless face and chuckled, "Why? Are you afraid that I'll fall in love with someone else?"
