"What?" Tanaka Kikue exclaimed.

She originally thought that Kitagawa Taki was going to use this to threaten her to do something!

"Looking at your expression, you don't think I'm going to use this as a handle, do you?" Beichuan Taki was very upset. "Alright, alright, let's go."

"Mr. Kitagawa, you know what to do..." Tanaka Kikue said as she walked to the balcony and picked up the crossbow.

Kitagawa Taki interrupted her, "How can you retract the rope without leaving any trace, right?"

"Just tie this rope to the arrow and shoot it out, and at the same time cut the rope on the balcony." Kitagawa Taki demonstrated.

This way, the rope won't leave any marks on the snow.

Tanaka Kikue sighed: "Mr. Kitagawa has seen through it completely."

"Don't do anything after this. The more you do, the more mistakes you make. Understand? I'll take care of the rest."

As long as all the evidence is cleared, it will be useless even if Conan suspects Tanaka Kikue.

"Yeah." Tanaka Kikue had no choice but to trust Kitagawa Taki, "I'm leaving first."

After Tanaka Kikue disappeared, Kitagawa Taki used the crossbow to shoot the arrow towards the distant forest according to the method just demonstrated, then he made a "soldier" gesture and retrieved the arrow together with the rope.

At the same time, the two arrows stuck in the tree trunk were controlled and retracted.

In this way, all the arrows and ropes were collected, and Kitagawa Taki stuffed them all into the space on the bracelet.

After doing all this, Kitagawa Taki returned the same way, came out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened, and returned to the living room.

Kikue Tanaka had already sat down at the dining table with the others.

Sonoko patted the chair next to her, "Taki, sit here."

"Thank you." Kitagawa Taki smiled, sat down, and asked casually: "Are Mr. Ara and Mr. Hamano ready yet?"

Xiaolan replied: "Mr. Huang forgot to change the lock of the wine cellar. He came back a few minutes ago to get the key. It should be soon. I don't know about Mr. Hamano."

Kitagawa Taki nodded and glanced at Tanaka Kikue. There was nothing unusual on her expression, and her acting skills were still pretty good.

At this time, Araki Yoshi opened the door and walked into the living room with two bottles of wine, "Ah, it's so cold!"

"The food is ready. Hasn't Mr. Hamano come down yet?"

Araki Yoshi asked as he opened the wine.

"I'll go call him!"

Kuroba Kaito stood up and went upstairs.

Less than two minutes later, he ran down again quickly, "Mr. Hamano is in trouble!"

As he said that, he ran towards the back door.

When Conan heard what happened, he no longer felt dizzy and was the first to run out.

The others followed all the way to the backyard.

Hamano Toshiya was lying in the middle of the backyard. Kuroba Kaito checked Hamano Toshiya's pulse with his hand and shouted to the people who followed him: "He is dead! Don't come over, so as not to destroy the scene!"

"Ah? Mr. Hamano is dead?"

"How could this be?"

"on site?"

Everyone spoke up, talking at once.

Conan stopped a few steps away with a serious look. There were only footprints of Doi Takeki around Hamano Toshiya.

"This is an impossible crime!"

Araki looked at Conan in surprise, "Impossible... a crime?"

Conan said in a deep voice: "There are no other footprints around Mr. Hamano, and he is about ten meters away from the villa, so this is a crime that a wingless human cannot commit!"

Kuroba Kaito, who was investigating the cause of Hamano Toshiya's death, heard Conan's words and looked back at him in surprise.

This child seems to be unusual.

"Mr. Hamano was strangled to death. The murderer must have strangled Mr. Hamano with something like a thin wire, and then used some method to bring the body here."

Kuroba Kaito slowly stood up and looked at everyone: "The murderer should still be near the villa."

In fact, he already knew that the murderer was Tanaka Kikue, because he came here to investigate the "deceptive boy".

Kuroba Kaito knew that Harui Fuden was the "Cheating Boy", but even though Harui Fuden was dead, the "Cheating Boy" was still chatting in the chat room.

But he didn't expect that Kikue Tanaka would actually kill someone.

The key is how she managed to move the body to the middle of the backyard without leaving any trace.

After hearing what Kuroba Kaito said, Kuroda Naoko covered her mouth and said, "Near the villa? Could the murderer be among us?"

"Yes, she must be the murderer!" Conan looked at Tanaka Kikue.

Conan also saw through the magic trick that Hamano Toshiya performed before. Tanaka Kikue was the hidden agent, cooperating with Hamano Toshiya.

He originally thought that Hamano Toshiya's mistake in guessing was an accident, and that Tanaka Kikue might have remembered the position of the symbol incorrectly and wrote Hamano Toshiya's name on it.

Now it seems that Kikue Tanaka did it on purpose in order to find an opportunity to take action!

But Conan still had no idea how she did it.

Kuroba Kaito said, "Anyway, let's go back to the house!"

When everyone returned to the house, they found that Conan was missing.

Kitagawa Taki saw that Conan did not follow in in the end, but went outside to look for clues.

Xiaolan was a little worried and went to find Conan.

Beichuan Taki said in time: "Xiaolan, I'll go! You stay in the living room and don't disperse."

Kuroba Kaito quickly stood up: "I'm with Mr. Kitagawa."

The two walked out of the house together.

Kuroba Kaito asked, "What do you think about this?"

"How do you see it? Of course, with your eyes." Kitagawa Taki pointed to his eyes.

Kuroba Kaito rolled his eyes, "Could you please be serious?"

"Okay, let me tell you my analysis. I think it was you who did it." Kitagawa Taki said seriously.

"What?" Kuroba Kaito almost fell down.

Beichuan Taki laughed and said, "You are the only one here who can fly, right?"

Kuroba Kaito was frowning and shook his head speechlessly.

"That kid seems a little unusual!" Kuroba Kaito didn't want to talk about the case anymore and changed the subject.

Beichuan Taki said meaningfully: "Are you talking about Conan? He is indeed a little bit unusual. You will understand if you observe him carefully."

While the two were talking, Conan, who stayed outside, had discovered a crucial clue.

He first walked around the house, then went to the forest behind it and found some messy footprints in the snow.

Judging from the shoe size, it should be a man's. Conan thinks this is just a smokescreen deliberately left by Kikue Tanaka.

Conan's idea was not wrong. Kikue Tanaka's original plan was to put the blame on the "Shadow Master", a character she created.

These footprints were left by her in advance, but the appearance of Kitagawa Taki disrupted her plan.

Afterwards, Conan discovered fresh arrow holes on the trunks of two large trees.
