The world of science is unscientific

With nothing else to do, Conan could only 'monitor' Suzuki Yusuke while he was ill.

During dinner, everyone talked about their favorite magicians.

Both Araki Yoshinobu and Doi Takaki expressed their liking for Kuroba Toichi.

And 'the vanished Pani,' also known as Toshiya Hamano, then said that he liked Yasushi Tsukumo.

The mature and beautiful Tanaka Takahisa, who is also the murderer in this case, said that she preferred Kinoshita Yoshiro, who had already accumulated many honors at the age of 20.

That's the downside of being a time traveler. Suzuki Yusuke already knew the culprit and even remembered the methods, so he lost the fun of deduction.

He glanced intentionally at Doi Takuki and said, "I admire Kaito Kid."

So, how about it? Faced with a little fan like me, if I threaten him with knowing his true identity later, can you learn the art of disguise and voice changing from Kaito?

Kaito Kuroba, disguised as Takuki Doi, suddenly tensed up for no reason. This guy's eyes... could it be that he has already figured out that I am Kaito Kid?

"Seriously, everyone except Kaito Kid is gone. I like Sanada Ichizo, what about you guys?"

Mako Kuroda looked at Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri.

As expected, Sonoko Suzuki decisively chose Kaito Kid.

"You two siblings like the same magician," Araki Yoshino sighed softly.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri was rushing back to the battlefield.

Chapter 10 I, Shinichi Kudo, have not lost.

With the escape artist and the shadow mage still nowhere to be seen, Conan, whose cold was getting worse, became drowsy.

"Little brother, come on, take some medicine."

Kaito Kuroba, disguised as Takaki Doi, brought over the cold medicine.

Conan, who had taken the medicine, was even more sleepy, so Suzuki Yusuke simply took him back to his room to rest.

A while later, everyone discovered that Hamano Toshiya, who hadn't come for dinner, was dead.

The windows of Hamano Toshiya's room were wide open, and the body lay in the snow. The view around him was unobstructed, and there wasn't a single footprint beside him.

Doi Takuki was the first to arrive at the scene, while Conan, who had been woken up and forced himself to follow, looked grave.

"This is a crime that humans without wings could not commit, which means... it's an impossible crime!"

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't help but admire the famous detective, who wouldn't leave the front line even with minor injuries, and didn't want to miss a case even in his condition.

After everyone analyzed the situation on the spot, Tanaka Kikue declared sternly that she wanted to leave this place.

So everyone walked down the mountain together.

It's no use, the bridge has already been burned down.

Yusuke Suzuki followed behind the crowd, treating it as an after-dinner stroll.

Sure enough, the group of people who saw the bridge burned down looked extremely grim.

"The telephone lines were also cut."

Tanaka Takahisa immediately said, "We also have cell phones to use!"

Doi Takaki said dejectedly, "It's no use. This place is beyond the communication range, which means we've been completely isolated from the world below by this murderer."

Back in the living room, everyone fell silent.

Yusuke Suzuki was trying to recall the method of the crime; the ropes were strung together, and he couldn't quite figure it out.

No worries, we'll figure it out soon by following Conan's investigation.

"Brother Yusuke, what are you thinking about?"

Conan suddenly moved closer to him.

"Think about the methods used by criminals."

Before Conan could continue, Sonoko Suzuki said dejectedly, "It's all my fault, because I was the one who made Hamano perform the impromptu act in the first place."

"If Hamano hadn't been locked in the room alone, I don't think he would have been killed."

"He only became this way because I chose him..."

At this point, Sonoko Suzuki's eyes were already brimming with tears.

"It wasn't you who caused this."

Everyone looked at Suzuki Yusuke, who had spoken up; it seemed the older brother was comforting his younger sister.

Sonoko Suzuki was taken aback, but seeing the unwavering trust on her older brother's face, she felt a great sense of reassurance.

Kaito Kuroba didn't want his little fangirl to feel guilty, so he smiled and comforted her.

“You were blindfolded at the time, and you randomly picked cards to mark. You were just helping Hamano with his magic tricks. There’s no reason for anyone to blame you.”

Sonoko is his magician's assistant?

A flash of inspiration struck Conan, as if he had grasped something crucial.

"Let me reveal the identity of the murderer."

? ? ? ?

Everyone looked at Suzuki Yusuke in surprise, while Conan, who had just started to get a clue, was also completely bewildered.

Who...who is the murderer?

They've already found him? That's incredibly fast! Could this guy be a fraud like Uncle Kogoro...?

Okay, let's listen to this first.

Yusuke Suzuki stood up leisurely. He decided to come clean, otherwise Sonoko would have to get another injection later. "Ms. Tanaka, don't you want to tell us your motive for murder?"

Tanaka Takahisa was taken aback, but quickly concealed her panic.

"It seems Mr. Yusuke suspects I am the murderer. However, I didn't have time to commit the crime. I was boiling water at the time, and it took me eight minutes to burn firewood."

"To tidy up the woodpile within eight minutes, then go to Mr. Hamano's room to commit an impossible crime—isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

Yusuke Suzuki walked up to Takahisa Tanaka, bent down and said, "No, no, no, you just need to boil the water in advance."

“But,” Tanaka Kikue scoffed, “I was just lucky to be assigned the job of boiling water.”

"happen?"

"You're just using Sonoko to assign tasks that were already planned."

"What……"

Everyone was surprised, and the composure on Tanaka Kikue's face also disappeared.

"That's right. Mr. Hamano's magic trick was secretly propped up by Ms. Tanaka. At that time, Mr. Hamano had already drawn a mark on the back of the paper with his name on it."

Sonoko was blindfolded and couldn't see, and the pen she used to make marks had long been switched by Ms. Tanaka; it was a pen that couldn't write.

Therefore, Sonoko herself was completely unaware of the situation, and at the time, we all had the misconception that it was a random selection.

Doi Takaki chimed in, "So, Ms. Tanaka, who already knew her mission, could boil the water in advance."

"At the time, Hamano confidently said that I was the banquet manager, but his name came out instead, so he was probably surprised."

Conan's eyes lit up—that's it! His thinking suddenly became much clearer!

"That's probably a mistake he made when preparing the performance. What you're saying is all speculation. Where's the evidence?"

Tanaka Takahisa continued to defend herself.

"evidence?"

Yusuke Suzuki laughed and said, "I think that in order to divert attention, you will definitely create the illusion that someone is attacking outside, so as to shift the suspicion to the escape master and shadow mage who have not arrived yet."

"We can go out now and look for the corresponding mechanism. Based on my deduction, it should be a crossbow; you might have one on you."

Conan is now stunned. He's even figured out the method? That impossible crime method?

Is this a monster? How long has it been since the incident happened?

No, no, no, I can't doubt my abilities. I just had a cold and wasn't feeling well. I just didn't participate in the entire plot. I just didn't have time to investigate...

In short, this doesn't count; I, Shinichi Kudo, haven't lost yet!

Seeing that Tanaka Kikue had fallen silent, Suzuki Yusuke continued to press, "Now we can also try out my deduced method of committing the crime. What if it doesn't work? Right, Ms. Tanaka?"

"no need……"

Tanaka Kikue hung her head, lost in thought. She had a crossbow hidden on her body, and the marks on the outside had not been dealt with.

"Then tell me your motive."

After recounting the story of her grandfather Harui Fuden, Tanaka Kikue said with a resentful look, "My grandfather died on a whim, which was his own choice, and I don't resent you for it."

But Hamano and those two escape masters actually said things like, "This is what they call the only hope for the elderly," and "He would be happy to die on stage, haha" afterward...

My grandfather originally planned to reveal his true identity to everyone after the escape magic trick succeeded.

Congratulations on receiving 2 reward points!

There are actually two reward points?

Yusuke Suzuki was somewhat surprised. This was just an ordinary case, and there should only be one reward point. Could it be because of the presence of a special person like Kid?

I glanced at the Tsuchitak tree, which was huddled in the crowd.

……

Let's reveal Kaito Kid's identity as well.

Yusuke Suzuki reached out his hand to Sonoko Suzuki. "Sonoko, would you like to meet your idol?"

"An idol?" Sonoko Suzuki looked completely bewildered.

Kaito Kuroba sighed silently. It seemed his identity had been discovered. What a terrifying guy.

A pure white flash exploded in the room, and a smoke grenade was thrown out.

Everyone rushed outside.

Under the silvery moonlight, Phantom Thief Kid, now in his true form, stood on the third-floor windowsill, exuding an air of superiority.
