Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Ah!? How could this happen!" Fuze Tatsuji broke out in a cold sweat.

"So where were you last night?" Officer Yokomizo looked as if he would take you back to the police station if your answer was not satisfactory.

"I'm in Tokyo! Yes, I returned to Tokyo last night. I've been staying with Hiromi since I came back." Tatsuji Fuzawa answered with all his might, trying to use his loud voice to cover up his panic at having his alibi exposed.

"Homi?" Officer Yokomizo asked in response to the newly mentioned name.

"She is my fiancée. We have obtained the marriage certificate but have not held the wedding yet," said Tatsuji Tozawa.

"Because she was ill, I was worried about her and went to see her. I was worried that my dad would know that I had left my job for her, so I asked someone to go on the business trip in my place. It's true! Please believe me!"

"If you had said this at the beginning, it would have been more credible. But now that you've been exposed and you say it, its credibility has dropped significantly." Kogoro Mouri suddenly spoke up.

"Also, your claim that you were worried about your fiancée falling ill and went back to see her out of concern is hard to believe. After all, your father is still lying in the woods near the villa, and you haven't even gone to see him! So you better admit it! You are the murderer, otherwise you have no reason to lie!"

"KO!" Maori Kogoro's words made Tozawa Tatsuji feel like he was going to shut himself up. He himself didn't know why he had said this alibi, and now, no one believed him when he said he didn't kill the person. He was also being targeted by the famous detective, Sleeping Kogoro. What should he do?

(What Tozawa Tatsuji doesn't know is that the key to Kogoro's sleeping state is the word "sleeping". If someone points at you while sleeping, you have no choice but to kneel down and confess your guilt on the spot. This is commonly known as the confession device. Kogoro Mouri's awake state has a completely similar effect, commonly known as the gold and water dispenser.)

Tomizawa Tatsuji had no idea that Maori Kogoro could distinguish between unconscious and unconscious states. After all, how could someone who didn't even pay attention to the typhoon on TV news pay attention to these things? So, Tomizawa Tatsuji was left speechless by Maori Kogoro's words. Cold sweat broke out, and his face turned the color of liver. "Everything I said is true. I really was in Tokyo with Hiromi last night. Why don't you believe me?"

After Fujiwara Hiroshi pointed out Tozawa Tatsuji's false alibi, he did not dwell on it. It must be true, after all, Tozawa Tatsuji is not the murderer.

Just when Kogoro Mori was about to continue his confrontation with Tatsuji Toizawa, Hiroshi Fujiwara stopped Kogoro Mori from continuing.

"Brother Maori, let's continue. None of these three brothers is an honest man." Let's just say that since your brother Maori has distributed the gold and water, Tomizawa Tatsuji's suspicion has been cleared.

"Next, let's talk about Mr. Tomizawa Yuzo. Officer Yokomizo, has the police officer who went to check on Tomizawa Yuzo's friend who called around 11:30 returned?" Fujiwara Hiroshi asked.

"Officer Yokomizo, after our colleagues contacted the telephone operator, we found out that Mr. Tomizawa Yuzo and his friend had been talking on the phone from 11:28 to 11:40 last night. It is true that Mr. Tomizawa Yuzo had some call records during the time of the incident as proof of his alibi." The young police officer saluted Officer Yokomizo and responded with the results of his investigation.

Upon hearing this, Tomizawa Yuzo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his alibi had finally been confirmed and he had passed the test. However, Tomizawa Yuzo was not one to be bullied. He had just been targeted by his own eldest and second brothers, so he rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

"Brother, it seems that our alibis have been proven to be true. Then the second brother who made a false alibi and couldn't explain his whereabouts must be the murderer of dad. No wonder you were the first one to jump out and say that you had an alibi. It turns out that you had planned it in advance! It's a pity that you should have been lurking in the woods around the villa here last night. You didn't have the chance to hear the news about the flight delays due to the typhoon, which made your alibi flawed." Seeing that his alibi was relatively safe, Tomizawa Yuzo set his sights on Tomizawa Tatsuji. After all, this second brother was the one who set the pace and wanted to put the crime of murder on him.

"So it's you, second brother. I didn't expect that you deliberately forged an alibi just to facilitate your own murder." Taichi Tomizawa didn't care which of his two younger brothers would take the blame. As long as it wasn't him, he could send the other one in jail and get more of the inheritance.

The boomerang hit him. Just as Tomizawa Tatsuji felt comfortable targeting Tomizawa Yuzo just now, he felt so uncomfortable now. These two good brothers were about to send him to prison.

"I'm so sorry to disturb you two brothers from opening the champagne!" Fujiwara Hiroshi interrupted the two brothers who were about to celebrate.

"If I remember correctly, you said earlier that your friend would call you to wake you up, and you planned to finish the painting all night, right?"

"Yes, but it's a coincidence that it happened around 11:30. The detective has just confirmed it." Tomizawa Yuzo raised his head and said proudly.

"Oh! I have some questions here, could you please explain them, Mr. Tomizawa Yuzo? As for the wake-up call of your friend that you just mentioned, from the description of the police officer, the call lasted more than 10 minutes. This doesn't seem like a wake-up call, does it?" Fujiwara Hiroshi asked slowly.

"This...this...was just a casual chat. I just woke up and talked to him in the studio to exchange some design ideas." Tomizawa Yuzo didn't expect Fujiwara Hiroshi to ask so many detailed questions, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Oh? So you were in the studio when you were talking on the phone. Then you must know that something happened around 11:30?" Fujiwara Hiroshi asked further.

"Huh?" Tomizawa Yuzo was startled at first, then quickly calmed himself down and tried to recall what happened last night. Nothing unusual had happened, so he seriously suspected Fujiwara Hiroshi was trying to trick him. After calming down, he said, "Nothing unusual happened last night. My friend called and woke me up at 11:28. We discussed illustration ideas for over ten minutes, and then I stayed in the studio until this morning."

"Ah?" Sonoko exclaimed and covered her mouth with both hands. Suzuki Ayako and Xiaolan also looked at Tomizawa Yuzo in disbelief.

Conan also realized at this time that there was something wrong with this Tomizawa Yusada. Although it was not known whether he was related to the case, he was indeed lying.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Tomizawa Yuzo looked at everyone's surprised expressions and felt something was wrong, so he asked.

"In addition to the murder that happened at 11:30 last night, there was also a power outage before the murder. The entire area had a power outage, and it took less than half an hour to be restored." Xiaolan said in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

"That's right! That's what I said just now. If you were really in the studio in the villa at 11:30, you would definitely know about it. Since you didn't know about this, it means that your alibi is also very watery. If you were really in the studio, it is impossible for you not to know about the power outage, so where were you last night? What were you doing?" Fujiwara Hiroshi asked directly.

"I...I..." Tomizawa Yuzo suddenly didn't know what excuse to make up for himself.

"So Mr. Tomizawa Yuzo, where were you at that time? I now seriously suspect that you deliberately colluded with your friends to make a false alibi, and actually went to kill your father, right?" Officer Yokomizo's stern voice sounded again.

"Officer Yokomizo, I told you none of these three brothers are telling the truth. If we want to know what he was doing last night, why don't we just go to his studio and take a look at his artwork? Didn't he work all night to finish his illustrations? Let's go and admire them together!" Fujiwara Hiroshi had already received a report from the special forces who had been protecting Suzuki Ayako. Tomizawa Yuzo had brought several middle school girls to the villa last night, all of them drugged. It seems he was up to no good. Coincidentally, he left for the shore to meet up before 11:30 and returned to the villa around 12:00, just in time for the power outage. That's why he was in the villa studio and didn't know about it.

"Ah!? This... is not very convenient." Tomizawa Yuzo definitely doesn't want the police to enter his studio. After all, his studio is full of shameful things that cannot be exposed.

"Is it inconvenient? You said you were in the studio all night last night, and you couldn't get your illustrations in, and you didn't even know about the 11:30 power outage. If the situation in your studio is also false, then combined with the information from the witnesses, we will arrest you for the murder of Mr. Tozawa Tetsuji. We can then use this as evidence to obtain a search warrant and search your studio. Consider carefully whether you will lead us there yourself, or we will obtain a search warrant to search your studio." Officer Yokomizo further pressured Tozawa Yuzo into making a choice. In reality, Tozawa Yuzo had no choice. Whether he liked it or not, the police were going to search his studio; it was unavoidable.

Thinking of this, Tomizawa Yuzo couldn't help but look at Fujiwara Hiroshi fiercely. It was all this guy's fault. If he hadn't been digging deep into the matter, the detectives would not have paid attention to the problems in his studio at all.

Tomizawa Yuzo bravely led everyone to the studio in the basement of his villa. Conan, who was walking behind him, clearly noticed that he was trembling all over, just like a death row prisoner being taken to the execution ground for execution.

"It seems that there is a big problem here, but how did Fujiwara Hiroshi notice it? Has the gap between him and me become so big?" Conan thought to himself.

With a click, the key unlocked the studio door. Following behind Tomizawa Yuzo was Officer Yokomizo, who was stunned by the sight before him. The paintings within were indeed large, depicting scenes of unspeakable beauty. He saw three people bound and restrained, and the girls in front of them looked to be middle school students, aged between 13 and 16. Their mouths were also bound, and all that could be heard were sobs. But the scene revealed the sheer brutality of Tomizawa Yuzo's actions from last night to this morning. The situation was clear, and there was no way to deny it. Tomizawa Yuzo had no choice but to bring his men. Fujiwara Hiroshi had forced him to come, and even if he hadn't brought anyone along, the police would have rushed to issue a search warrant. This was a blow to Tomizawa Yuzo, whether he showed his head or shrank back. There was no escape!

It turned out that this was Tomizawa Yuzo's studio, and that his illustrations were of this kind. This scene was so eye-catching that everyone was stunned for a few seconds.

"Ah..." Suzuki Ayako, Sonoko, and Xiaolan screamed at the same time, and their voices echoed through the sky.

This shout completely woke Officer Yokomizo up. He called over a police officer and asked them to take the girls and the child out first. The child, of course, was our little Edogawa Conan. He also quickly had the victims put down and called the female police officer to take them down to comfort them while the police officers searched the scene for evidence.

Maori Kogoro grabbed Tomizawa's collar and looked like he was going to beat him up. Fujiwara Hiroshi stopped him, shook his head, and gave him a look, indicating that Officer Yokomizo should come forward.

"Alright, alright!" Officer Yokomizo smirked at Tomizawa Yuzo, furious. "Given your situation, regardless of whether your father's death involved you or not, you're going to get at least twenty years in prison! Give us your own explanation."

"Hey! I was scolded by my father last night, and I wanted to vent my anger, so I came back from the villa next door and asked my friend to arrange to send the three of them here. They were selected by my friend and brought here unconscious. While waiting, I took a nap to recuperate. At about 11:28, my friend called and said that they would be there soon and asked me to meet them at the beach. So I took my mobile phone and went to the beach to meet them. We kept talking on the phone to communicate about the specific location until 11:40, when we finally found the correct location and met. Then it was past twelve o'clock when the three of them were transported to the villa studio. So I really didn't know that there was a power outage in the middle, and it was impossible for me to kill my father because I was handling this matter at the time." Tomizawa Yuzo stopped struggling, lowered his head, and confessed frankly.

"Third brother, I never thought that you were doing such things in secret, and those were just little girls in junior high school. You really bring shame to our family." Tomizawa Tatsuji said sarcastically.

"Yes, third brother, I feel ashamed too. I didn't expect that our family would produce a scum like you." Taichi Tomizawa also spoke.

"Enough! You two stop pretending. It's a critical moment now, and everyone should be clear about their cards. Stop pretending." Tomizawa Yuzo has given up. If he can't live well, then no one else can expect to live well either.
