Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Yukiko opened the car door and gave Cao Yu special instructions.

"Don't worry, I brought some hangover remedy, it works like crazy, do you want to try it?"

As Cao Yu spoke, he took out a mini spray of sleeping pills.

It's a product from the brewery, I don't know if it works well or not, but it worked well for Yukiko and Ran Mouri.

"Great, I'm feeling a bit unwell from the alcohol."

Yukiko was confident that Cao Yu wouldn't dare to act recklessly, and seeing that he showed no signs of drunkenness, she mistakenly thought it was a hangover cure and decided to give it a try after a little thought.

Little did they know that Cao Yu was not drunk because his body had been modified by Wolf Brother's card.

"Xiao Lan, let me spray some on you too."

Before Ran Mouri could speak, Yukiko sprayed something into her mouth and nose.

Cao Yu never dreamed that things would go so smoothly.

He was originally thinking about how to drug the two of them without them noticing.

Unexpectedly, Yukiko was completely unprepared.

Under the influence of the drug, Yukiko and Ran Mouri fell into a deep sleep as soon as they got into the car.

"Anything produced by our distillery is guaranteed to be of high quality, except for that bunch of fake liquors."

"Yukiko, Yukiko, you've offered yourself up, if I don't take advantage of you, would I even be a man?"

"You can only blame your eldest son. If he hadn't almost gotten me into jail, I would have really wanted to experience what it's like to be a gentleman."

Cao Yu fastened his seatbelt, glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror, started the car, and headed towards the Kudo residence as fast as possible.

Half an hour later!

Cao Yu parked the car, took out the keys that Yukiko had put in her bag, and carried the two of them into the room one after the other.

Then, the long-planned operation was launched.

Chapter 46 Yusaku Kudo's Intuition

Xiaochunri and Private Club!

Kudo Yusaku arrived at private room 444 and revealed his identity. The club manager was very accommodating and cooperated in dispersing the onlookers and protecting the scene.

He then began collecting clues with Conan.

Nearly twenty minutes later, Inspector Megure arrived at the crime scene with his men, and his face lit up with joy upon seeing the two.

As everyone knows, in the world of Detective Conan, police officers who follow Conan see their performance skyrocket.

Even the notoriously difficult detective, Misao Yamamura, rose from a junior police officer to a police inspector in Gunma Prefecture in just six months after meeting Conan.

"Brother Kudo, have you found anything?"

Inspector Megure could tell who the big shot was, and immediately sought the answer from Yusaku Kudo.

"All three victims were killed by the killer in a very short time. Among them, Joseph Obama suffered a severed carotid artery with a sharp blade. The wound was deeper on the left and shallower on the right, proving that the killer was right-handed."

"The other two victims were shot in the heart. There were two shell casings left at the scene. One of them, near the door, was fired from one of the victims' guns, while the other two were fired by the killer."

"No murder weapon was left at the scene. As for whether any other clues, such as fingerprints, were left, we will have to wait until the crime scene is fully searched to find out."

Yusaku Kudo's gaze fell on the blood-stained maid outfit.

All signs indicate that the murderer was bold and meticulous, and cleaned up the scene after the murder, making it difficult to find clues.

"Do you know the deceased?"

Inspector Megure frowned and looked at Joseph Obama's body.

"When we arrived at the club, we happened to run into Mr. Obama at the main entrance. He was the president of a foreign trade company and had personally mentioned that he was a fan of Uncle Kudo and Aunt Yukiko."

"The two deceased were Mr. Obama's bodyguards. The older sister who first discovered the three bodies was with them at the time."

Conan took over and revealed the identities of the three victims.

In the presence of outsiders, in order to conceal his identity, he had no choice but to address Kudo Yu as "uncle".

"I see!"

"Huh, it seems like someone's missing today. Didn't the plague god Mori come along?"

Every time Conan and Kogoro Mouri meet, a case occurs, and they are almost always murder cases.

If the two frequently assist the police in solving cases, Inspector Megure would inevitably suspect that they are the murderers.

"Uncle Mori received the request and went to Tottori Prefecture this morning."

"Inspector Megure, the expressions on the three deceased are very strange."

Conan changed the subject, subtly giving a hint.

"That's really strange!"

"The deceased's eyes were wide open, and he seemed extremely angry before he died."

Miwako Sato walked to Joseph Obama's body, squatted down to examine it, and then looked at the bodies of the two bodyguards.

"The two deceased looked shocked, as if they had witnessed an unbelievable scene."

"Why are there such drastically different reactions? If it was murder for money, the victim's wallet and valuables were not missing; if it was a revenge killing, apart from the bodyguard firing a shot, there were no signs of a struggle at the scene."

It's full of mysteries and very unusual.

Among the members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division, Miwako Sato's abilities are among the best. Even she couldn't explain the killer's motive, so it was even less likely that other officers would be able to spot the flaws.

"Officer Sato, there's broken glass at the door."

With Kogoro Mouri not around, Conan lacks a suitable assistant and has to guide the police to solve the case by providing clues.

Yusaku Kudo watched Conan, not rushing to reveal his own reasoning, intentionally giving the opportunity to his son to demonstrate his abilities, and also testing whether his reasoning skills had declined.

"It's not glass, it's a wine bottle!"

After Sato Miwako finished speaking thoughtfully, her eyes lit up.

"I understand, this is a revenge killing, and it was committed by someone known to the victim."

As Sato Miwako finished speaking, Kudo Yusaku and Conan were quite surprised.

The two examined the scene and, based on the clues left behind, ruled out the possibility that it was an inside job.

But even the wisest person can make a mistake!

Now that Miwako Sato has a direction for her reasoning, Yusaku Kudo and Conan want to hear her thoughts, hoping that she might inadvertently provide new ideas for solving the case.

"Officer Sato, do you know the killer's identity?"

Inspector Megure looked on with anticipation.

"It's not certain yet, but it's pretty close!"

"The broken wine bottle at the door suggests that the murderer first killed Joseph Obama, then used an excuse to call the two bodyguards into the private room, and shot them when they were off guard."

Sato Miwako, full of confidence, stated her reasoning.

"Where's the evidence?"

"The broken wine bottle at the door is evidence."

"???"

Megure Juzo was completely confused, his mind filled with questions.

"My theory is that the killer used his position to gain access to the private room and murdered Joseph Obama when he was off guard. However, Joseph Obama did not die immediately. In a fit of rage, he threw a bottle at the killer, but missed and it shattered at the door."

"Then the murderer called two bodyguards into the private room. When he pulled out his gun to commit the crime, one of the bodyguards realized something was wrong and returned fire. In his panic, he did not hit the murderer."

"Judging from the incredulous expressions on the faces of the two bodyguards even after they died, they probably never imagined that the killer would be so ruthless."

"Imagine two bodyguards guarding the door. Apart from Joseph Obama's family and friends, who could enter the private room without being heard from?"

Based on the clues she had gathered, Miwako Sato meticulously reconstructed the events of the case.

With her prompting, the killer's identity became increasingly clear.

"You mean the young lady who first discovered the murder is the murderer?"

With his hands behind his back, Inspector Megure asked.

“Criminals usually return to the crime scene, and the first person to discover a murder is often a prime suspect.”

Miwako Sato is very cryptic.

"Yes, that's right. Even if that woman isn't the murderer, she's highly suspicious."

"Officer Sato, you are in charge of interrogating the suspect."

After a moment's thought, Inspector Megure decided to take the woman back for questioning first.

"Wait a minute, that woman has nothing to do with the murder case. Interrogating her is a waste of time."

"Conan, have you discovered something?"

Sato Miwako stopped and asked seriously.

Ever since Shinichi Kudo shrank into Conan, he has been able to find important clues every time he investigates a case at the Metropolitan Police Department, so she has long been used to it.

At the same time, Yusaku Kudo was stroking his chin, staring intently at the two shell casings next to Joseph Obama's body, and the image of Cao Yu gradually appeared in his mind.

Could he be the murderer?

When Kudo Yusaku first tested Cao Yu, he witnessed his unpredictable strength and, after careful consideration, concluded that among the people in the club, only Cao Yu could kill three people in an instant.

In a flash, Yusaku Kudo realized another crucial point.

He and Conan heard the screams and arrived at the scene in about five minutes. However, Cao Yu had been with them the whole time. Even with his excellent skills, it was impossible for him to silently kill Joseph Obama and his two bodyguards and return in the ten minutes or so that Cao Yu was in the bathroom.

Unless it can teleport.

However, even with his high intelligence, Yusaku Kudo couldn't guess that Cao Yu was a transmigrator with the help of a system, which was like a bug in the Detective Conan world.

Although he cannot teleport, he possesses a wide range of martial arts skills and his body has been modified by a system, making his speed far exceed human limits.

"Officer Sato, apart from the broken wine bottle and the three spent bullet casings, there were no obvious signs of a struggle in the private room. Mr. Obama died from having his carotid artery severed by a sharp weapon. He was bleeding heavily and instantly lost his fighting ability, making it impossible for him to fight the murderer."

"And the strange clothes on the table clearly show that the woman was playing a role-playing game with Mr. Obama, proving that their relationship is more than just ordinary."

"If the older sister were the murderer, she would have had plenty of opportunities to kill Mr. Obama. There was no need for her to choose the clubhouse and leave so many clues. Besides, the fear she showed when she saw the body was not feigned, which is enough to prove her innocence."

"Furthermore, according to the forensic examination, the deceased was murdered no more than an hour ago. During this time, the older woman was retrieving game props from the club's warehouse, a fact that the staff can also testify to."

After some analysis, Conan cleared the woman of suspicion of murder.

"If that's the case, how did the killer manage to bypass the bodyguards to enter the private room, and how did he manage to fire the shot without being noticed?"

Seeing that he spoke logically and persuasively, Inspector Megure pondered for a moment and raised a new question.

Since it is a murder case, there must be a murderer.

With two bodyguards guarding the door, it would be impossible to enter the private room easily unless one had Joseph Obama's complete trust or permission.

Therefore, Inspector Megure still suspected that the crime was committed by someone he knew.

"The murderer must have disguised himself as a waiter, tricked the bodyguards into entering the private room, threatened Mr. Obama to call the bodyguards in, disposed of the bodyguards first, and then used a sharp weapon to sever Mr. Obama's carotid artery."

"As for the gunshots, the VIPs invited to the club are all big shots in high society. Many of them like to play exciting games in secret. Even if someone hears gunshots, they will mistakenly think it is a game."

"Based on the time of the crime currently estimated, the murderer has probably already left the club after killing the three victims."

"Uncle Kudo, am I right?"

To keep his secret identity intact, Conan acted cute and shifted the blame to Yusaku Kudo.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure looked worried.

If the murderer isn't caught, not only will performance be lost, but pressure from the public will also be put on the line.

After all, it involves three murders, and if word gets out, it will inevitably cause panic.

You're not entirely right.

Kudo Yusaku's thoughts were interrupted, and he felt that Conan's performance was unsatisfactory.

"If the two bodyguards were called into the private room by Mr. Obama, they would not have had time to draw their guns and fight back when they were caught off guard. However, the fact that one of the bodyguards fired a shot clearly indicates that the two bodyguards were on guard when they entered the private room."

"I think that after the murderer entered the private room, just as he was about to make his move, Mr. Obama saw through his disguise. Mr. Obama then picked up a bottle and pretended to fight back, but actually smashed it on the door to warn the bodyguards outside."
