"Inspector, the murder weapon has been found." Takagi took out the pistol and the shell casings. "The murder weapon is a .45 pistol. There are three shell casings in total, which matches the number of bullet holes on the victim's body."

"There was also a burnt towel, which the murderer probably used to eliminate the smoke."

Inspector Megure pondered and said, "So, the murderer shot the victim through this glass window. Then the murderer could also be an outsider."

Fujimine Yukiko leaned over to Conan and asked, "How is it going? Is there any progress?"

Conan said: "There are some, but this is definitely an inside job."

"There were surveillance cameras installed in the villa, but they didn't capture the person making the death threats. Furthermore, the murderer left the murder weapon behind instead of taking it away. This suggests the murderer was an insider."

Fujimine Yukiko nodded and said with a smile: "If you find out the truth, you must tell me first!"

Conan rolled his eyes. He knew his mother was trying to act cool by using reasoning again.

After saying this, Fujimine Yukiko walked to Kitagawa Taki's side and bumped him with her shoulder.

"Taki, do you have any clues?"

"Not only that, I also know who the murderer is."

Kitagawa Taki heard every word of her conversation with Conan just now.

Fujimine Yukiko covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Huh? Is this true? It's so fast?"

The murder happened less than twenty minutes ago, and the police only arrived a short while ago, and they solved the case?

Fujimine Yukiko's eyes lit up: "Taki, can you tell me?"

"Okay." Kitagawa Taki motioned for Fujimine Yukiko to come closer and whisper, "The murderer is Ueki Souhachi..."

Fujimine Yukiko nodded repeatedly after listening to this. What Kitagawa Taki said was as if he had seen Ueki Sohachi commit the crime with his own eyes. The details were very detailed and no evidence was left out.

Conan, who was still concentrating on thinking about the case, frowned when he saw this scene.

As soon as the two finished talking, he pulled Fujimine Yukiko aside.

"Mom, are you getting too close to Kitagawa Taki? You know, he's a pretty dangerous guy!"

Fujimine Yukiko waved her hands, unconcerned: "Yeah, yeah, I know my limits."

After several contacts with Kitagawa Taki during this period, she felt that Kitagawa Taki did not seem to be a member of the Black Organization.

Seeing Fujimine Yukiko's appearance, Conan was helpless. He couldn't possibly turn against Tian Gang and control his own mother, right?

He secretly planned to go back and call Kudo Yusaku and ask him to persuade his mother to return to the United States as soon as possible, so that everything would be fine.

"Shinichi, just watch my performance carefully from now on!"

Yukiko Fujimine grabbed Conan's head.

Conan was stunned, thinking about the private conversation between her and Kitagawa Taki just now. Could it be that Kitagawa Taki has already solved the case?

……

Inspector Megure brought everyone in the villa to the living room and prepared to question them one by one.

Before he could start, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

Fujieda Suka asked curiously, "What's going on? Is there a power outage?"

"We were all deceived by the murderer. Mr. Fujieda was not threatened by the gun in the window and then shot."

Then, several bright lights came on.

In the spotlight, Yukiko Fujimine pulled off her hairband and let her high ponytail down.

"But, unfortunately, it still can't be hidden from the detective's eyes."

Conan held his forehead and silently turned on the light.

Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but smile. Fujimine Yukiko was quite playful.

Kisaki Eri asked, "Yukiko, do you know who the murderer is?"

Inspector Megure asked anxiously, "Ms. Yukiko, you said we were all deceived by the murderer. What exactly is going on?"

Fujimine Yukiko said: "The murderer made us mistakenly believe that Mr. Fujieda was shot and fell to the ground before we arrived at the audio-visual room."

A word of advice woke Conan up from his dream, and Yukiko Fujimine's words made Conan react immediately.

He looked at Ueki Sohachi and the corners of his mouth curled up. So that's what was happening.

But soon, Conan became depressed again because he fell behind again.

Kitagawa Taki felt a little funny when he saw Conan's expression as if he had eaten a fly. He went down the entire staircase directly, while Conan took one step at a time. How could he compare with him?

Takagi Wataru said: "Isn't it? The victim was shot three times in total. You were in the monitoring room. He was shot first and fell to the ground. Then you heard two more gunshots in front of the audio-visual room door."

Fujimine Yukiko raised her index finger and shook it, "Nonono, all three shots were fired at that time."

Officer Megure asked curiously, "Why did the victim raise his hands before suddenly falling to the ground? And you only heard two gunshots."

Fujimine Yukiko said, "Mr. Fujieda was just stretching and moving his body around after reading."

"Sometimes if you sit for too long and then stand up suddenly, you might feel dizzy or even lose consciousness, right?"

Inspector Megure nodded, he had experienced such a situation himself.

Fujieda Suka questioned, "But isn't this timing a little too precise?"

"Perhaps there's something wrong with the coffee? It contains some drugs that can make people dizzy and unconscious, right?" Fujimine Yukiko looked at Ueki Souhachi. "Don't you agree? Mr. Ueki?"

Conan discovered the bright spot, Kitagawa Taki seemed to be unaware of the medicine used by Ueki Sohachi.

Isopropyl alcohol, in appropriate amounts, can be used to treat asthma and can also be used in absence induction experiments.

"Then the murderer is Mr. Ueki?" Xiaolan found it hard to believe that this kind old grandfather was the murderer.

Ueki Sohachi, who was named, had a calm expression and was not at all panicked.

Kisaki Eri understood. "So that's how it is. As the butler, Mr. Ueki knew that Mr. Fujieda had a habit of drinking coffee while reading, and that he would do that stretching movement after reading. He used drugs to make him lose consciousness, thus completing his alibi."

Inspector Megure still didn't fully understand, "What about the gunshot?"

"There was music playing in the audiovisual room at the time, and the silencer and the towel were used, so we only heard two gunshots," explained Eri.

"So that's how it is. Then we have to find the silencer first!" Inspector Megure suddenly realized and looked at Takagi Shigeru.

Fujimine Yukiko interrupted, "That's not necessary. The silencer is on Mr. Ueki."

"It was hidden in his socks."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru squatted down to check, "Excuse me, Mr. Ueki."

He lifted up Ueki Souhachi's trouser leg, and sure enough, the silencer was hidden in his socks.

Takagi Wataru took out the silencer and found that Ueki Souhachi's legs had been burned, "Wait, your feet have been burned!"

Ueki Sohachi said frankly: "To protect the garden that my late wife loved the most, this little pain is nothing."
