The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Just as the atmosphere at the scene was becoming a little strange, Yuya Aragaki quickly spoke up to break the silence.

Seeing that everyone was looking at Aragaki Yu, Conan finally showed a relieved expression.

However, while he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression also became confused.

I had only just discovered something suspicious, so why had my mother already deduced this much?

Could it be...

After his gaze swept over everyone present, Conan nodded with absolute certainty.

That's right, it must be my dad giving my mom advice behind the scenes!

"Isopropyl alcohol is a drug used in experiments to induce absent seizures. It is usually prescribed to patients who experience absent seizures or dizziness. After taking it, it will induce absent seizures in the patient, and then the cause of the absent seizures can be investigated." As Yuu Shingaki flipped through the drug instructions he had found on his phone, he explained the drug's effects to everyone.

At the same time, he secretly kept this in mind.

After all, I have to deal with all sorts of people from time to time these days.

It features detectives, police officers, and even some strange individuals like the FBI or other organizations.

Write it down; it might come in handy someday.

"I see, so you used that drug to make him lose his senses, then raised his hand to make everyone think he had been shot, that's how it was!" Eri Kisaki suddenly understood her thoughts and confirmed with Yukiko Kudo.

“That’s right.” Yukiko Kudo nodded, exchanged a glance with Eri Kisaki, and continued, “At that time, Mr. Mikio Fujieda had not yet been shot.”

Chapter 599 Queen of the Law

"But the murderer felt that this was still not enough, so he used a single sentence to lead us all in the wrong direction."

After confirming the above points, Eri Kisaki immediately identified the murderer.

That was the butler, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi, who had drawn everyone's attention to the monitor screen by shouting "Master, raise your hands!" in the monitoring room.

Although Eri Kisaki did not reveal the suspect's identity, most of the people present were not fools.

As a result, many eyes were also drawn to the butler, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi.

And Mr. Ueki Kusahachi's unpleasant expression seemed to confirm this.

“That’s right. Only Mr. Ueki knows that Mr. Mikio has a habit of drinking coffee while reading, and also knows that he stands up and does stretching exercises while reading.” Yukiko Kudo looked at Souhachi Ueki and explained the source of the medicine, “If used in appropriate amounts, this medicine can also be used to treat asthma.”

"..."

Now, there's no need for Aragaki Yu or Conan.

Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki took turns describing the details of Mr. Kusahachi Ueki's crime.

Everything was as clearly as the two of them had witnessed, and the sequence of events was remarkably logical.

……

"In short, find that silencer first!" Inspector Megure, who had grasped the key point from Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki's words, immediately turned to Inspector Takagi and gave the order.

Just as Inspector Megure was about to send Inspector Takagi and his men to search for a silencer in the vicinity.

Aragaki Yu's sudden remark surprised and delighted Inspector Megure.

"I don't think that's necessary, Inspector Megure."

As he spoke, Aragaki Yu glanced at Ueki Kusahachi, whose face was growing increasingly pale, and said, "Because that silencer should still be on the butler's person."

"what?"

As the butler, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi, shifted his leg awkwardly, Aragaki Yu's gaze also fell on his right calf.

"What!?"

As Inspector Megure exclaimed in surprise, his eyes followed Aragaki Yu's gaze and landed on the right leg of the butler, Ueki Kusahachi.

Officer Takagi, understanding the situation perfectly, quickly approached Mr. Ueki, squatted down, and pulled up his trouser leg.

Sure enough, as Officer Takagi slightly pulled up Mr. Ueki's trouser leg, a silencer hidden in his sock was exposed to everyone.

Inspector Megure finally realized why Mr. Ueki Kusahachi had refused to sit down.

If he sits down, his trouser legs will inevitably be pulled up a bit, and the silencer he was hiding will easily be exposed to everyone's view.

"Found it! It's a silencer!"

Just as Officer Takagi was excitedly pulling the evidence out of Mr. Ueki Kusahachi's sock, he made another discovery.

"Wait a minute, your feet are already burned, aren't they?"

Officer Takagi stared in astonishment at the bright red marks on his leg from the scald from the silencer.

After being fired from a pistol, the silencer becomes very hot due to the high-speed friction of the bullet.

To save time, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi hid the high-temperature silencer in his sock.

The scalding hot muffler will naturally leave burn marks when it comes into direct contact with the skin.

The fact that Ueki Kusahachi, an elderly man with white hair, remained unmoved despite such pain deeply touched Officer Takagi.

Although he had never directly touched the scalding hot muffler.

However, he had also been burned by empty bullet casings during shooting practice, so he could understand what kind of pain that was.

However, despite the surprised expressions of everyone present, the butler, Mr. Ueki Kusahachi, did not show any unusual expression.

He even calmly surveyed everyone present before speaking slowly and deliberately: "If it's to protect the courtyard that my deceased wife loved most, I can tolerate this minor injury."

He squinted, his expression unchanged, as if he were stating something perfectly obvious.

"Protect the courtyard?" Inspector Megure looked at Mr. Ueki Kusahachi with a puzzled expression.

“Yes.” Ueki nods. “This courtyard has been cherished and maintained by Madam since she was a child.”

His voice choked with emotion, filled with memories, "Even now, I don't believe that my wife has left here for somewhere else."

“I will not allow a man who has no connection with me to do whatever he wants in this mansion.”

As he spoke, Ueki Kusahachi's voice gradually became more resolute.

It was clear that his actions were not impulsive.

The people present looked at him, each with their own thoughts, and their feelings were quite complicated.

Even Conan, who is filled with a sense of justice and despises murder, couldn't think of anything to refute him for a moment.

Just as the atmosphere at the scene began to fall silent and heavy again.

Fujieda Suka, who had been sitting on the sofa, spoke with a hint of disappointment, "What? So you're the murderer? I thought it must have been my younger brother, Fujieda Shigeru, who did it!"

Perhaps it's because my inner hopes have already been shattered.

At this point, Fujieda Soka no longer tried to hide anything, saying, "Wouldn't that mean I'd get half the inheritance?"

The next second, she leaned back on the sofa, glanced at Fujie Shigeru with regret, and muttered, "I even hired a detective to try and catch him red-handed."

After witnessing Fujieda Soka's performance, the others present were speechless.

Having a wife like that, Fujieda Mikio must be incredibly unlucky. I don't know what he saw in this woman.

“What a huge failure~” Fujieda Suka said with a strange tone.

Finally, Eri Kisaki couldn't stand it anymore. She slowly walked to the sofa, looked at Fujieda Suka lying on it, and forced a smile. She "kindly" comforted her, saying, "Regarding the distribution of the inheritance, if Mr. Mikio has no parents or siblings, it should all be inherited by you and will not be given to his ex-wife's brothers."

Compared to solving a detective case, she, as a lawyer, is clearly better at legal matters.

Indeed, when it comes to this kind of issue, she is the real expert, being the queen of the legal profession.

Fujieda Suka, who had been somewhat disheartened, became excited upon hearing her words.

She clasped her hands together and excitedly approached Eri. "Oh! Is it true? I misunderstood. This is wonderful!"

Everyone: "..."

Chapter 600 Conan Comes Knocking

"However, this is only if Mr. Fujieda Mikio did not leave a will."

Unlike Fujieda Suka, Aragaki Yu heard the real point in Kisaki Eri's words and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing Aragaki Yu's words, Fujieda Suka had a bad feeling.

If it weren't for the fact that Aragaki Yu is quite handsome, she would have almost jumped off the sofa upon hearing those words.

Eri Kisaki glanced at Yuu Aragaki with some surprise, not expecting that this guy would grasp what she was trying to say so quickly.

She didn't actually know whether Mr. Fujieda Mikio had left any medical instructions.

Of course, she didn't care at all.

So she was just "kindly" reminding Fujieda Suka.

Compared to this matter, she certainly had more important things to do.

Once the work is done, it's time to collect payment.

"In short, I still need you to pay me a reward of ten million yuan for catching the murderer."

When Fujieda Motoka heard Eri Kisaki demand that she pay the remaining amount, her expression turned somewhat grim. "Huh? Why? Mikio has already been murdered, hasn't he?"
