Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

On the way, Conan asked the police officer a lot about Aso's family. It had been difficult to ask in the hall with everyone present, but now, walking down the street with the police officer, he asked everything he wanted to know. He also learned more about Aso's relationship with the previous village chiefs Kameyama and Kuroiwa, as well as Kawashima Hideo and Nishimoto Ken. He also learned about how several of them accompanied Aso on piano tours around the world and how the four of them quickly became wealthy. Conan seemed to have grasped some key information.

Just when Conan followed the old policeman to get Keiji Aso's music score, Fujiwara Hiroshi, who had been silent for two days, was ready to intervene and end the case. He was not prepared to let the case continue to develop step by step in this way. If it continued like this, Asai Narumi would definitely end up committing suicide.

"Inspector Megure, Brother Mori, there's no need to go through so much trouble! Because I have already cracked the murderer's modus operandi and already know who the murderer is?" Fujiwara Hiroshi suddenly spoke while leaning against the door.

"What!?"

"Really? Brother Fujiwara!"

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri spoke at the same time.

"That's great, Brother Fujiwara, come on, let's fire the first shot of the reopening of the Mori Detective Agency from here!" Kogoro Mori said excitedly.

Everyone looked eager for Fujiwara Hiroshi to solve the mystery, but Asai Narimi was the only one who was secretly trembling. He was afraid. He wasn't afraid that he would be exposed, but that he was exposed at this time. He still had the last person, Nishimoto Ken, to avenge. He couldn't fall down at this time! Asai Narimi clenched his fists and trembled.

"In fact, this incident and the method are not complicated. He just made rational use of his special identity and interfered with key information to complete this seemingly impossible crime." Fujiwara Hiroshi stood up slowly and walked towards the crowd.

"In fact, judging from the circumstances at both crime scenes and the strength displayed, the murderer is likely an adult male. A woman wouldn't have the physical strength to drag Mr. Kawashima's body, nor the strength to strike Kuroiwa Village Chief with such force from the back, stabbing him completely. Therefore, based on these two factors, we can most likely determine that the murderer is a male."

"Secondly, the murderer deliberately left a 5-minute blank recording at the first crime scene, and then played the content of the first chapter of "Moonlight". In addition to deliberately creating a connection with Keiji Aso's curse to shock people's hearts, it was also to give himself enough time to create an alibi. The 5-minute gap was enough for the murderer to return to the memorial service as if nothing had happened and hide in the crowd to protect himself. At the same time, there is another important reason for doing this, which is to pave the way for today's case and leave a psychological hint." Fujiwara Hiroshi began to analyze and reason, and Asai Narumi trembled even more violently. He felt that it was over and he could no longer hide.

"Until now, no one has noticed the psychological trap the murderer deliberately set." Fujiwara Hiroshi paused. "Let me be frank. Today, the murderer has revealed his biggest flaw! The murder of Kuroiwa Village Chief wasn't just a few minutes before everyone discovered him. He had been dead for at least half an hour."

"What!? How is this possible?" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in shock.

"But...but Doctor Asai's examination showed that the patient died a few minutes before we found him. Could it be..." Inspector Megure said in disbelief.

"That's right, Officer Megure, it's the same as what you thought. Doctor Asai got the time of death wrong. As for the reason, I think it's already very clear, because Doctor Asai Narimi is the murderer of this serial murder case!" Fujiwara Hiroshi raised his hand and exposed the true identity of the murderer Asai Narimi.

"Ah!?" Mao Lilan exclaimed, "How could it be?! But you just said that the murderer was a man, but Doctor Asai is clearly a woman? Is there something wrong?"

"Dr. Asai must be a man. He came to Tsukikage Island disguised as a woman, probably out for revenge. You're definitely a relative of Aso Keiji. You even sent a letter to our detective agency, explaining your inner conflict: a desire to kill and punish the four of them, and a desire to help others prevent this." Fujiwara Hiroshi continued. Asai Narimi, stared at by everyone, didn't utter a word to refute Fujiwara Hiroshi.

"Doctor Asai knew that if he accepted the police's questioning one by one today, his male identity would definitely not be hidden, so he deliberately stayed up all night to guard the community center with Brother Mori and Conan yesterday, so that he could be questioned later in the order. Sure enough, when they learned that Doctor Asai had not slept all night to guard the scene, they arranged for him to be the last one to be questioned by the police. Because he knew that as long as the body of Village Chief Kuroiwa was found, the police would definitely start investigating the scene of Village Chief Kuroiwa's death directly, and no one would come to question him at all. However, there were indeed some minor changes in the middle, that is, Mr. Nishimoto had been unwilling to cooperate with the police's questioning, resulting in the "Moonlight Sonata" that could have been played at about the time he entered the questioning, but because of Mr. Nishimoto's delay, it played when Miss Kuroiwa Reiko was questioning." Fujiwara Hiroshi pointed out this point.

"This will conflict with his next plan and slightly affect it. The original plan was to convey the message 'The resentment of the fire of karma is eliminated here!', and then the last one, Mr. Nishimoto, should be arranged to be 'forced to commit suicide', and then the third chapter of 'Moonlight Sonata' should be placed next to him to end it all. Mr. Nishimoto will be the murderer of these two cases, and the case will end with the murderer's suicide. However, Mr. Nishimoto's non-cooperation forced the police to confront him for half an hour of questioning. In the end, Mr. Nishimoto ended the questioning only when he saw that the time was almost up and he had agreed with the village chief Kuroiwa. This also led to some unstable factors in this plan." Fujiwara Hiroshi pointed out that the plan was disrupted by the unexpected situation.

"At the same time, this also gave him a flaw in order to make the case finally implicated with Mr. Nishimoto. After all, Mr. Nishimoto had just arrived at the door of the crime scene when "Moonlight Sonata" sounded. At this time, the first few minutes of the tape were blank, which made it difficult to tie it to Mr. Nishimoto. Because if it was Mr. Nishimoto, these few minutes of blank space would be unclear, because during those few minutes, Mr. Nishimoto was still in the interrogation room with Inspector Megure! This is not easy to make up later. In addition, Mr. Nishimoto is a timid man. The original plan should have been that when Mr. Nishimoto came to the broadcasting room and saw the murdered Kuroiwa Village Chief, in order to prevent himself from being suspected, he should immediately close the door and leave the scene to avoid being suspected. To avoid being involved in this murder case. However, Dr. Asai probably didn't expect that when Mr. Nishimoto left the house, Conan, the brat, would follow him. When Mr. Nishimoto opened the door to the broadcasting room and saw the murdered Kuroiwa Village Chief, he collapsed at the door, unable to even walk. Conan, who followed him, was the first to notice him. Then others hurried over and saw Mr. Nishimoto collapsed on the ground, hesitating and unable to speak. So this whole set of tricks was wasted because of Mr. Nishimoto's timeline change. The only lucky thing was that this trick at least gave him an alibi. So this plan has an impact on the next plan, but it has helped him to hide smoothly.

Fujiwara Hiroshi not only exposed his methods, but also saw through his subsequent plan to pin the identity of the criminal on Nishimoto Ken, and even pointed out his plan to make Nishimoto Ken commit suicide out of fear of the crime. How terrifying! Asai Narimi was impressed.

"However, Dr. Asai still held onto a glimmer of hope, so he determined the time of Kuroiwa's death to be a few minutes before everyone was found. This was so he could look for it later and see if there was a chance to bring it back to Mr. Nishimoto. In reality, Kuroiwa had been dead for at least half an hour."

"But, Brother Fujiwara, we clearly only found a 5-minute blank period in the tape. If it was Dr. Asai who committed the crime, how could he play "Moonlight Sonata" without coming to the broadcasting room? You know, he stayed in the lounge with you after 6 o'clock and never left?" Inspector Megure raised the question directly. The key to this reasoning is this time. If this time does not make sense, all reasoning is invalid.

"That's what I just said. Doctor Asai deliberately chose a 5-minute blank period on the tape yesterday to set a psychological trap." Fujiwara Hiroshi explained.

"What!? A trap!?" Inspector Megure was still confused.

"The five minutes yesterday were indeed correct. Those five minutes were used to prove my alibi. But today's time was more than five minutes. To be precise, it was a blank space of 5 minutes. This is because Doctor Asai started playing from the reverse side of the tape where there was no sound. It takes 5 minutes to play one side of a tape, and one hour to play both sides. Doctor Asai used the automatic rewind function on the control panel where the corpse was lying to play the reverse side, and combined it with the time of death identified by himself to interfere, thereby concealing the real time of death and buying time for his next actions. I remember that before 5 o'clock, Doctor Asai asked Brother Mori when he would be questioned, and when he learned that he was the last one in line, he went out on the pretext of washing his face because it was still early. In fact, he should have used this time to complete the killing of the village chief Kuroiwa and set up the crime scene." Fujiwara Hiroshi finally mentioned a time point in Asai Narimi's action line.

"Yes, that happened before 6 o'clock." Kogoro Mouri testified.

"Then I have also obtained the proof of the time of death of Village Chief Kuroiwa and the evidence of Doctor Asai's method." Fujiwara Hiroshi raised the photo in his hand. This was the photo Fujiwara had just taken when he told the evidence personnel to speed up the cleaning of the crime scene.

"First of all, if the time of death of the Kuroiwa Village Chief was really a few minutes before everyone discovered him, then the blow that Maori brother gave Conan just now should have destroyed the bloodstains. However, when Maori brother quickly picked up Conan, the music sheet written in blood was not destroyed, which means that the blood had dried up by then. It takes at least half an hour for blood to flow out and dry up, so this is the most powerful evidence. If the murder happened just a few minutes ago, the blood would definitely not have dried up so quickly."

Fujiwara Hiroshi did not give everyone too much time to think and began to prove the most crucial evidence.

"Secondly, the photos I have thoroughly confirm Dr. Asai's guilt. The first photo was taken when we first entered the crime scene. You can clearly see a strange red glow beneath the shoulder of Kuroiwa Village Chief's body. Then, in the second photo taken after the body was lifted up, the red glow disappeared. That's because Dr. Asai, acting as a temporary medical examiner, approached the body for examination and, while no one was paying attention, turned off the rewind button on the control panel that enabled this technique. From the position of the body after it was moved, we can see that the button that was lit at the time was the rewind button I mentioned. This is the most direct and ironclad evidence for my reasoning. So, at the crime scene surrounded by heavy police, the only person who could have done all this was you, Dr. Asai!"

Faced with Fujiwara Hiroshi's series of well-reasoned reasoning, Asai Narimi was completely unable to refute it. While everyone was fascinated by Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning, he slipped out of the door and ran quickly towards the community center.

Fujiwara Hiroshi certainly knew what Asai Narimi wanted to do. He deliberately used deductions to solve the case in advance when Asai Narimi killed Nishimoto Ken and was determined to die, but he did not want Asai Narimi to commit suicide again.

Asai Narumi came to the community center, found the gasoline that had been stored before, and quickly poured it out. Just as he took out the lighter and was about to light it, Fujiwara Hiroshi, who arrived in time, chopped the lighter down with a knife, and caught the fallen lighter with his other hand and closed it.

"Don't play around with this dangerous thing!" Fujiwara Hiroshi said to Asai Narimi.

"Why?! Why did you save me? Since you know everything, you might as well let me die in this sea of fire like my father, and let this sea of fire like my father be my final destination." Asai Narumi said with a heart of devotion.

"Do you think that I pointed you out through reasoning before you killed Nishimoto Ken just to get you to come out and commit suicide?" Fujiwara Hiroshi said sternly.
