Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

Conan has already created an opportunity; it would be impolite for Kudo Kazuma not to seize it.

So he reached his hand through the car window and grabbed Boss Jingu.

Then, at the opportune moment, his expression changed: "It's cold!"

Just then, the car jolted and accelerated suddenly. Kudo Kazuma tried to grab the corpse of Boss Kanaya, but failed and had to let go, allowing the car to plunge off the cliff.

A huge explosion rang out, and Kudo Kazuma said to the people behind him, "The boss's body is cold; he's obviously been dead for some time..."

Although most of the people in the hotel were Sherlock Holmes fans, very few had actually been up close to a murder case. So when they heard that Boss Jingu had died, even though it was past 3 a.m., everyone was jolted awake and gathered outside.

Sleepy-eyed and yawning, Kogoro Mouri stood outside the crowd, rubbed his eyes, and irresponsibly blurted out, "It must be suicide."

Facing the gazes of the crowd, he said with certainty, "I think he committed suicide because he didn't want you to win that Sherlock Holmes book."

“Really? I think it’s murder.” Kento Toba immediately retorted, speaking eloquently, “As long as you kill the boss beforehand, put him in the car, and put it in drive, the car will move forward automatically.”

He pointed to the garage as he spoke: "The murderer likely made the arrangements in the garage beforehand..."

Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but want to give him a thumbs up.

Great analysis! No wonder he's the murderer!

Although Boss Jin Gu is gone, his spirit is still here, pointing fingers and cursing at Toba Kento...

However, if he remembered correctly, the murderer would kill more people, so he decided to ignore it and wait until all the damned ones were dead before making a move.

The group, true to their Sherlock Holmes fandom, took turns offering their analyses, each seemingly making sense of the situation.

Aside from Kazuma Kudo, who made a harassing phone call to Inspector Megure in the middle of the night, the other two people who had contact with the deceased's car were already busy searching for clues...

"Brother Edogawa, thank you so much..."

Having learned of the situation, Inspector Megure yawned and said, "It's difficult to gather police forces in the middle of the night. I'll try to get there before eight o'clock in the morning..."

Kudo Kazuma laughed heartily: "It's all thanks to the murderer, why are you thanking me? Don't worry, Inspector, there are a bunch of detectives here, the murderer will be caught soon!"

After hanging up the phone, Kudo Kazuma saw Hattori Heiji and Conan both lying on the ground, looking at the tire tracks...

I really want to go up and give him a slap on the head.

He was itching to do it.

Before he could even do anything, Xiaolan asked curiously, "Hey, why are you looking at the tire tracks?"

Conan casually replied, "I'm looking for something..."

Heiji Hattori suddenly turned around to look at Conan, and by sheer coincidence, he bumped into Conan, who was looking up.

"boom--"

Seeing the two of them covering their heads together, Kudo Kazuma shrugged.

Okay, that saves him the trouble of doing it himself.

Then look at the shocked look on Hattori Heiji's face as he stares at Conan... This guy probably guessed something, right?

Xiaolan asked, both amused and exasperated, "What are you guys doing?"

So—does Kudo's woman know?

Hattori Heiji's mind raced, but he still explained, "How would I know what this kid is up to? I was just looking for water droplets dripping from the air conditioner; it's very helpful for solving the case."

Kazuma Kudo was on the phone and hadn't heard their speculations, but he couldn't help but ask, "Who said the air conditioning was on in the car?"

Several people present witnessed Kudo Kazuma reaching his hand into the car, so they were all taken aback when they heard him say this.

Conan chimed in, "But we clearly heard the wind whistling inside the car." He then pointed to the black chicken next to him, "Hattori heard it too!"

Heiji Hattori glanced at Conan thoughtfully before nodding.

“Is it possible that the heater was on?” Kudo Kazuma said, raising his hand to his chin. “Now I understand why the murderer covered the dashboard—to make everyone think the air conditioning was on.”

A single sentence struck Conan like a bolt of lightning, and he blurted out, "The murderer did this to mislead everyone and confuse the time of the victim's death!"

After he finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets, looked up at Kudo Kazuma, and asked, "What exactly is the state of the corpse?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "The body is cold, but it's still soft, so it's probably been dead for quite some time."

Heiji Hattori's gaze remained fixed on Conan. As he watched Conan's conversation with Kazuma Kudo, he nodded and silently sighed inwardly.

I've found you, Shinichi Kudo...

In high spirits, he continued his analysis: "I originally thought the murderer was the owner of Jingu who had been killed not long ago, which would have made us, who had been waiting for people at the restaurant, no suspects."

“But… according to Edogawa, the victim might have been murdered as early as 8 or 9 o’clock, which would make us all suspects.”

Everyone froze, and one of them blurted out in a panic, "I can't take it anymore! I need to leave. There's still a car here..."

“You are… Mr. Fujisawa, right? It’s no use.” Hattori Heiji spoke again. “I checked before you came out. Someone dug a big hole in the car’s fuel tank, and the battery is gone.”

"Clearly, the killer doesn't want us to leave; there might be a second attack..."

Everyone looked rather grim. Kudo Kazuma shrugged. "I've already called the police, but they won't arrive until dawn..."

Hearing that the police had been called, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it was a group of Sherlock Holmes fans gathered together, Conan said, "Let's go look for clues," and the group of people rushed into the house.

Following behind the group, Ayako Oki unconsciously rubbed the lighter in her hand, looking as if she was preoccupied.

Kazuma Kudo and Heiji Hattori were last.

As Kudo Kazuma slowly walked inside, Hattori Heiji leaned closer and whispered, "Hey, are you and Kudo Shinichi brothers?"

Kazuma Kudo glanced at him and pursed his lips: "You don't believe me when I say I'm not Shinichi Kudo, and you don't believe me when I say I am Shinichi Kudo, so would you believe me if I said he and I are actually the same person?"

After saying that, he went inside.

Hattori Heiji: "?"

He just wanted to test whether "Edogawa Kazuma" knew that "Edogawa Conan might be Kudo Shinichi".

What the hell is this person saying?

He had just entered the room with a head full of questions when he heard Ayako Oki laugh a few times and say, "I already know who the murderer is, I know the method he used to kill, and I have the decisive evidence!"

Facing the shocked and confused crowd, she elegantly took a puff of her cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke: "I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't want everyone to hear your name from my lips, then you'd better confess your sins!"

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the door.

Hattori Heiji, standing at the door: "???"

What's the situation?

Are there any clues he doesn't know about?

For a moment, Hattori Heiji's head was filled with question marks...
