Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"The police found this IOU in Mr. Yamazaki's pocket, revealing a financial dispute between him and your Fujiwara Group! And 1000 billion yen is a massive sum. The recent financial crisis has intensified, and many groups are experiencing capital constraints. According to the owner, Iwata Daijiro, your parents both died in a car accident last month. Under these circumstances, you're taking charge of such a massive group for the first time, facing internal doubts from your own staff and external pressure from Mr. Yamazaki demanding payment for such a large sum. So, based on common sense, we suspect you'll be more likely to take a risk amidst internal and external pressures!"

Kudo Shinichi walked out of the crowd with a smirk on his face, looking at Fujiwara Hiroshi and raising an eyebrow. Although he already knew that the murderer was Iwata Daijiro, he was still curious about what role Fujiwara Hiroshi played in this. This detective's curiosity was really strong. When he first met Fujiwara Hiroshi, his intuition told him that this person was dangerous and definitely not a simple person. Faced with these unknown things, Kudo Shinichi's thirst for knowledge was infinitely expanded. There was a little person in his heart who kept playing football to himself, stimulating his thinking.

Fujiwara Hiroshi did not become nervous because of Kudo Shinichi's words. Instead, he said it jokingly.

"Oh? Is that your reasoning? It seems the news media just loves to exaggerate and hype things up. Seeing someone in person is always better than hearing about them. Kudo-san's reasoning really disappoints me!"

Then, in front of everyone present, he repeated the results of his previous analysis to Yamazaki Akiji.

"Kudo-san is so amazing and clever, but he just used the clues he found without even verifying their authenticity? It seems like he's exaggerating a bit. What kind of Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era? The media really has no bottom line when it comes to hype. They picked a random high school student who solved a few minor cases and dared to use him as a model for Sherlock Holmes."

Fujiwara Hiroshi directly attacked Kudo Shinichi, even mocking him for his real damage and critical hit, saying that he was trying to scam Sherlock Holmes.

Hehehe, after I finished criticizing you, I felt so good. I told you, Kudo Shinichi, that you are a despicable person. You knew who the murderer was, but still came out to disgust people.

Kudo Shinichi rubbed his hair with both hands desperately. Damn it, it was really too damned! This guy Fujiwara Hiroshi was definitely not a simple guy. My intuition told me that he would be a guy like Moriarty!

"Back to this case, Officer Megure, if Kudo Shinichi is unreliable, maybe I can go to the scene and take a look. Maybe I can help solve the case directly!"

Inspector Megure is also a shameless guy. He was cursing Fujiwara Hiroshi in his heart before, but now when he heard that Fujiwara Hiroshi could help solve the case, he directly took Fujiwara Hiroshi's hand and said.

"Brother Fujiwara, come on, let's go to the crime scene together. This is a locked room murder case. Please, brother Fujiwara!"

Ozaki, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but get angry again when he heard Megure dare to call Fujiwara Hiroshi "Brother Fujiwara". Fujiwara Hiroshi, of course, knew Ozaki's temper and stopped him in time, saying it was okay.

On the other side, when Yoko Okino heard that they were going to the crime scene, she was instinctively a little scared, but she gritted her teeth and prepared to accompany Fujiwara Hiroshi.

Fujiwara Hiroshi was certainly aware of Okino Yoko's situation. Not everyone could be as calm as Kudo Shinichi in the face of corpses and bloody crime scenes. So Fujiwara Hiroshi told Okino Yoko to wait for him at the banquet venue, stating that he would go alone.

However, Okino Yoko insisted on accompanying Fujiwara Hiroshi, and she would go wherever Fujiwara Hiroshi went. Fujiwara Hiroshi had no choice but to take her with him. Ozaki followed behind Fujiwara Hiroshi silently, and was deeply relieved to see Fujiwara Hiroshi suddenly become enlightened in all aspects!

Ozaki believed that after experiencing the devastating loss of the Fujiwara couple, Fujiwara Hiroshi had suddenly matured overnight. He also understood that Okino Yoko could only be Fujiwara Hiroshi's lover. The Fujiwara family background meant that Fujiwara Hiroshi couldn't possibly marry Okino Yoko. Even Fujiwara Hiroshi's mother, Fujiwara Shizuko, though not the daughter of a conglomerate or a politician, was the descendant of a fallen aristocrat. Despite the changing times, the status of the family remains high in the hearts of many Japanese. Even those who have lost their wealth and influence still maintain their identity and lineage, which is why Fujiwara Hiroshi's parents were ultimately able to unite.

It seems that I need to pay more attention to Yoko Okino's various situations in the future. At present, the young master is quite satisfied with Yoko Okino, and there is a high probability that she will develop into his lover! Ozaki silently made a note of this in his heart.

Soon, all the relevant personnel gathered at the crime scene. Fujiwara Hiroshi looked around the body, saw the so-called secret room, checked the door, and observed the traces along the edge of the window. He had a rough idea of the murder method.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Fujiwara Hiroshi who was searching for clues back and forth, and his heart sank. At this moment, he heard Fujiwara Hiroshi speak.

"Inspector Megure, I already know who the murderer is."

"What?!" Inspector Megure was stunned. No, brother, you can tell who the murderer is just by looking back and forth. Is it really that magical?

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Fujiwara Hiroshi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Little guy, I've watched Conan seriously, okay? I didn't just skip around when I watched it. Based on my memory and the traces at the scene, I already have a general idea of the crime process!"

Fujiwara Hiroshi then spoke,

"This room was a locked room at the time of the crime. Since it was a locked room, our primary concern is how the murderer managed to disguise it as one. The door lock is faulty, and there are no signs of forced entry, so we can infer the murderer didn't enter through the main door. Secondly, there are no footprints underneath the room, so it couldn't have been committed by an outsider. It could only have been someone inside the villa, and someone who knew the structure of the villa intimately. They also had to meet the conditions that allowed Mr. Yamazaki to be placed in this room. Am I right? The owner of this house is Mr. Iwata Daijiro."

After hearing Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Iwata Daijiro.

Daijiro Iwata, sitting in his wheelchair, waved his hands repeatedly and retorted.

"How is that possible? I'm in a wheelchair. Even if I had normal legs and feet, I wouldn't be able to reach this scene and commit the crime."

Fujiwara Hiroshi looked at Iwata Daijiro and said, "Old Deng, I knew you were not convinced. I will make you convinced soon. And you'd better think about it first, and then you can give everyone an outrageous reason."

"Regarding your leg problem, you can ask Mr. Iwata's personal doctor later. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Iwata's leg has actually healed a long time ago."

"Next, let's talk about how Mr. Iwata committed the crime." Fujiwara Hiroshi paused, walked to the balcony, and pointed his finger at the room diagonally opposite the balcony.

"If my guess is correct, Iwata-san exited the window of that room, tied a rope around the eaves, and walked to the corner. The distance from the corner to the balcony was not far, so he could have easily jumped over. After entering the room from the balcony, Iwata-san used the rope to tie a piece of wood, securing it vertically, and then climbed back down along the rope. He then released the rope from that side, and the rope and wood, already secured here, could easily be retrieved. That's the general plan of the crime."

Everyone who heard Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning took a deep breath. Okino Yoko looked at Fujiwara Hiroshi with admiration.

Inspector Megure went to the balcony and found scratches there.

As for Kudo Shinichi, he was no longer calm. "This guy is so strong. He has basically deduced everything. If I don't take action, he will steal all the limelight." Kudo Shinichi hurriedly asked the butler next to Iwata Daijiro.

"Mr. Butler, if I remember correctly, you said that a few days ago, the villa began to make strange noises every night. That noise must come from here, right?"

"No, that's right!" the butler replied stutteringly.

Kudo Shinichi continued, "So, this must be Mr. Iwata practicing, rehearsing for tonight's murder plan. Those strange noises must be the sound of wood hitting the railing and the wall. Officer Megure, if you look closely at the balcony railing, you can clearly see more than one scratch."

After inspecting the situation, Inspector Megure said, "That's right!"

Iwata Daijiro immediately retorted, "All of this is just your inference. Do you have any evidence to prove that I was the one who killed him?"

You're a stubborn person, aren't you?! You like stubborn people, right?!

Kudo Shinichi suddenly fired a powerful shot towards the globe, forcing veteran Iwata Daijiro to reflexively stand up from his wheelchair and avoid the globe's attack!

Now, all my excuses pale into insignificance. Damn it! Young people have no moral integrity, trying to deceive a 60-year-old comrade like me. A sneak attack! I was careless at the time. I shouldn't have dodged.

Faced with this series of facts, Daijiro Iwata could no longer argue and could only bow his head and plead guilty, admitting that he was the one who killed Yamazaki Akiji.
