Stay away from Conan.

Under such circumstances, Kensuke Achiha faced Ooka Momiji's questioning and knew that there was no way to explain the truth about Nagoro Shikao's disappearance, so he readily admitted in the interrogation room of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters:
"That's right, Nagoro Shikao... I was the one who killed him. Five years ago, the day before Nagoro Shikao and my wife agreed to compete..."

"Mr. Achiha, at this point, do you still want to hide the truth for Ms. Gaoyue?"

However, just after Achiha Kensuke opened his mouth to speak, Gao Yuan mercilessly pointed out his intention to hide the truth for his wife, Ms. Gao Yue.

Thus, as Gao Yuan said this, Achiha Kensuke was shocked, and seemed a little nervous and anxious, and then said:
"What? What do you want to say..."

In response, Gao Yuan calmly retorted:
"Now that the karuta of the Gaoyuekai has been investigated by the police, you can no longer argue who killed Mr. Nagoro Shikao based on the blood and fingerprints on it. Moreover, Ms. Gaoyue's reaction after Mr. Nagoro Shikao disappeared, and the fact that she died of depression a few years later, have also revealed the truth, right?"

"Yes, the truth is very simple. Five years ago, the day before Mr. Nagoro Shikao and Ms. Gaoyue agreed to compete, Mr. Nagoro had already gone to Ms. Gaoyue to compete. As a result, Ms. Gaoyue lost to Nagoro Shikao in that match that was held one day in advance and unknown to outsiders. So Ms. Gaoyue couldn't control her emotions and killed Nagoro Shikao, right? And you helped conceal the truth and deal with the scene afterwards.

"But no matter how you hide it, the psychological trauma left by Ms. Gao Yue because of the murder has always been with her until her death, right?"

Thus, using the death of Ms. Gao Yue as an entry point, Gao Yuan's imperfect reasoning directly broke through Achiha Kensuke's psychological defenses, because the reasoning result given by Gao Yuan was almost exactly the same as the truth. At this moment, Achiha Kensuke no longer had the calmness to analyze some of the problems in Gao Yuan's words just now from the perspective of reasoning. Knowing that the truth had been completely known to everyone, Achiha Kensuke finally couldn't help it. The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for five years burst out at this moment and began to accuse Ming Qingluo:
"Ah... That's right! You're right! Five years ago, on the day before the official competition, Nagoro did come to compete with my wife, and the tape she used was the one I kept. It was a tape that my wife listened to countless times when she was practicing. Although she used one of the tapes in the competition, my wife had already memorized the order of reciting the karuta. Even though the competition was very favorable for her, she completely lost to Nagoro!"

At this moment, the emotional Achiha Kensuke slammed his fist on the table and said hysterically:
"Magoro's strength is far beyond our imagination. I don't know how scared my wife was at the time, but there is no doubt that she would not win the game the next day. The fear of failure forced her to embark on the path of crime!
"You can understand me, right? This is all Nagoro's fault! If he hadn't humiliated my wife the day before the game, this wouldn't have happened!"

After Kensuke Achiha finished venting his words, Gao Yuan, who heard this speech in person, was slightly angry and directly refuted it seriously and earnestly:
"I can't understand it. I can't understand it. Ms. Ooka, please tell me the truth you know..."

At this moment, after Ooka Hongye finally learned the whole truth about the disappearance of her master Nagoro Shikao, Ooka Hongye was also shocked, but soon under Gao Yuan's suggestion, she began to tell the truth she knew:
"That's not the case, President Achiha... The teacher didn't want to humiliate Ms. Gaoyue, who was the master's first love...

"Mr. Nagoro started playing karuta because he liked Ms. Satsuki. But five years ago, he developed an eye disease and the doctor told him that he only had one year left in his karuta career, so he had to force himself to compete with Ms. Satsuki.

"The reason why I challenged Ms. Gaoyue the day before the competition was because I wanted to let her know my strength and then prepare to lose to her in the official competition. This way, I would have a legitimate reason to disband the Nagoro-kai and allow my disciples, including me, to join the Gaoyue-kai..."

Ooka Momiji told this sad fact with some sadness, which made Achiha Kensuke stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

At the same time, Gao Yuan continued with these words:
"So, to tell the truth, Ms. Gaoyue killed Mr. Nagoro without knowing it...

“Although it may not be nice for me to say this about a lady who has passed away, I still want to say it!

"You are clearly inferior to others in skills, but you put the blame on others. Not only your late wife, but also you and Mr. Achiha are the same -

"You killed Mr. Nagoro, and Ms. Gao Yue died of depression because she couldn't get over it. But now you are saying this like a victim. Don't you feel disgusted?" After saying what he wanted to say, Gao Yuan didn't plan to stay here any longer, so he turned around and left the interrogation room.

Anyway, Achiha Kensuke has said everything he needs to say, so let the police decide the rest...

Thus, after the body of Nagoro Shikao was found, the case that had remained unsolved for five years finally had a result. Although it was impossible to hold the deceased Ms. Satsuki responsible, Achiha Kensuke had to pay the price for concealing the matter.

As for what happened afterwards, the police did not choose to disclose the real truth to the public, but the Satsuki-kai was unable to maintain its position in the karuta world and eventually disbanded.

Just like that, Gao Yuan's original purpose of this trip to Kyoto was achieved.

"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."

"Comprehensive evaluation of case closure: C"

"Knowledge: S"

Social: C

"Courage: D"

"Settlement completed, overall score reaches C, reward 20."

"Bounty: 4110"

Looking at the settlement panel with no suspense at all, Gao Yuan didn't care. After all, he didn't come here to get any bounties, but just to prevent something that could have been prevented from getting out of hand. As for the bounty to be settled -

It seems that the next promotion challenge is not far away...

At the same time, compared to the situation on Gao Yuan's side, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji accidentally encountered a child kidnapping incident when they were visiting Kyoto together, but the incident soon did not cause any disturbance and was immediately resolved by the two of them.

Just like that, this trip to Kyoto is coming to an end... (End of this chapter)
