Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

"Inspector Megure, how long are you going to detain me and my guests?!"

Seiba Ken, the head of the Seiba family, sat in a wheelchair with the Seiba family's butler and Seiba Ken's personal maid standing behind him. He looked at Inspector Megure in front of him and shouted in a low voice with a stern expression.

Even though Ken Seba was sitting in a wheelchair, as the head of the family, the oppressive aura he exuded was not something that ordinary people could resist.

"My guests and I don't have time to waste with you police officers conducting this kind of investigation and evidence gathering without any evidence!"

"Mr. Seiba, please calm down, calm down,"

Inspector Megure was naturally overwhelmed by Ken Seba's imposing manner, so he quickly smiled apologetically and tried to soothe Seba's emotions.

"After all, the deceased was a guest at your banquet, Mr. Seiba."

"The general manager of Yamazaki Bank was murdered here."

"In short, please be patient a little longer, Mr. Seiba."

Inspector Megure's words made everyone around him prick up their ears.

Seiba Ken, sitting opposite him, also darkened his expression once again.

"Inspector Megure, are you saying that the murderer who killed my friend, Mr. Yamazaki, is among my guests?"

Seiba Ken's voice was filled with suppressed anger, as if he would rush up and tear Inspector Megure to pieces if he couldn't get an answer.

"this......"

Inspector Megure didn't know how to answer, and he subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

At the same time, he was constantly complaining in his heart.

'Brother Kudo, where are you?!'

"You asked me to help cordon off the area and gather a crowd, and I did that. Where have you gone now?"

"Come out now, or this old man will tear me to pieces!"

Just as Inspector Megure was inwardly grumbling and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, that voice rang out.

"Mr. Seiba is right, the murderer is among the crowd."

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw a young man in a dark blue suit with a red bow tie. He looked young, even a bit naive, but full of righteousness. He walked out with one hand in his pocket.

When Ken Seiba saw the person in front of him, his first reaction was—

I don't like him.

Kenjiro Seba felt a little uneasy.

The newcomer is too arrogant!

The other person's upright posture, sharp eyes, one hand casually in their pocket, and the intense aura of justice emanating from them all indicated that they were the embodiment of justice, standing atop the peak of righteousness, ready to vanquish all evil...

"who are you?"

Seiba Ken's face darkened, and he rebuked sharply.

"Has the crime scene become so lax that any student can just walk in?!"

"Ah, Master Seiba, it's because..."

Faced with Ken Seba's reprimand, Inspector Megure instinctively wanted to explain.

However, his explanation was interrupted by Shinichi Kudo reaching out a hand.

"Master Seiba,"

Shinichi Kudo slightly raised his head, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"My name is Shinichi Kudo, and I'm a detective."

boom--

Along with Shinichi Kudo's words came a faint rumbling sound from outside the window.

The night sky looks like it's going to rain tonight, but it doesn't.

"Shinichi Kudo? That high school detective?"

"I heard he's a very skilled detective!"

"Yes, I heard he has solved many cases."

......

The rain outside the window didn't fall, but the chatter of the guests inside surged like a tide toward Ken Seiba in the center of the crowd.

"Shinichi Kudo? A detective?"

Kenjiro's eyes narrowed, his fierce gaze sweeping over Inspector Megure, and his aura erupted once more.

"Do police officers nowadays really need detectives to help them solve cases?"

"Or does having the title of detective mean you can interfere in case investigations without limit? Or even restrict the personal freedom of ordinary citizens like us?"

This is putting pressure on them!

Inspector Megure felt a chill run down his spine; Ken Seba was putting pressure on him.

The only way forward is to solve the case quickly and leave no room for criticism for Seiba Ken. Otherwise, if these "ordinary citizens" put pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Megure will not be able to handle it.

Thinking this, Inspector Megure turned his gaze to his younger brother, Shinichi Kudo.

Brother Kudo, you'd better step up!

"hehe,"

Shinichi Kudo, true to form, completely ignored Ken Seba's words, chuckled easily, and then began to speak on his own.

"The murder room was a locked room, and the door was locked from the inside. According to the scene investigation, the murderer broke in through the window of the room next door on the third floor, committed the murder, and then escaped through the window. There were no footprints left below the window."

"This shows that the murderer was not an outsider thief, but most likely someone from inside the villa!"

In just a few words, Shinichi Kudo had already shifted the focus of the case back to the internal workings of the crime.

This gave Inspector Megure and his team a reason to seal off the scene.

Seiba Ken's face darkened again. He slammed his hand on his wheelchair and shouted angrily.

"nonsense!"

"Although there were guest rooms next to the room at the scene, the windows of the two rooms were at least ten meters apart. How could the murderer have jumped over them?!"

"hehe,"

Shinichi Kudo completely ignored Ken Seba's reprimand, instead smiling nonchalantly.

"Although the distance between the windows is large, if you walk over using the eaves next to the windows, you will be less than two meters away from the balcony where Mr. Yamazaki is."

"I think anyone could manage such a short distance, right?"

"Hmph! Childish reasoning!"

Seiba Ken snorted coldly, his face already flushed red, his eyes fixed on Kudo Shinichi, and continued to question him.

"How can we get off? Even if there's a two-meter distance, the eaves are less than ten centimeters wide. If we're not careful, we'll fall off. There's no way we can do it!"

"Hmm... according to what you say, sir, it does seem difficult to do, but..."

A sly smile crept across Shinichi Kudo's lips.

"Sir, how do you know so much about the structure of your own house?"

"Ten meters, two meters, ten centimeters... You actually measured them?"

Oops!

When Shinichi Kudo said that, Ken Seba panicked immediately.

Because he actually measured it!

After all, if you're going to kill someone, how could you not be prepared?

Just as Ken Seba was starting to panic, Shinichi Kudo spoke again.

"Regardless of how you know this, sir, the method of leaving isn't particularly difficult to accomplish."

"All the murderer needs to do is carry a rope with him when he sneaks in, and tie the rope to the balcony of the room where Mr. Yamazaki died, so he can climb back up the rope."
