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

"Ayako! Where are you going? Don't go out alone!"

Kento Toba chased after him.

Ayako Oki said from outside the door, "Hmph, you'll protect me, won't you?"

She didn't stop walking, and Toba Kento quickly followed.

Heiji Hattori walked in, looking puzzled, and asked Conan, "What's going on?"

Conan didn't sense anything was wrong and instinctively replied, "Everyone's phones were smashed, and that treasured first edition book is gone. The hotel's security cameras are fake, so naturally they can't capture anything."

"So far, apart from Ms. Oki, we haven't found any clues about anyone else." He said this with some dissatisfaction, "Strange, how did Ms. Oki find any clues?"

With his hands in his pockets, Hattori Heiji stared at Conan and said, "We haven't had much contact with each other during the day, so maybe she didn't find the clues now, but rather got them during the day?"

Ran, noticing that Heiji Hattori's expression towards Conan was a bit off, quickly spoke up, "So, I saw Ms. Oki during the day, and she seemed a little strange then."

Conan and Heiji Hattori immediately turned to look at Ran and asked in unison, "What's strange?"

Xiaolan: "..."

When Shinichi is engrossed in a case, it's really easy for him to overlook other things...

She sighed inwardly and continued, "When I returned to my room after lunch, I saw Ms. Oki in the hallway. She seemed a little nervous when she saw me and hid something that looked like paper behind her back. It looked like the test papers you filled out."

Some people wondered, "Was she trying to cheat?"

At that moment, Kento Toba opened the door and walked in, and many people crowded around to express their questions.

Did she reveal who the murderer was?

Did you ask her secretly?

"What evidence is she referring to?"

"Tell us quickly..."

Seeing a group of people surrounding her, Toba Kento unconsciously took two steps back: "I don't know either, she hid in the restroom. And she told me that even if it were me, she wouldn't tell..."

Kazuma Kudo, leaning against the wall and yawning, blinked—it seemed Ayako Oki had guessed Kento Toba's identity as the culprit, and then…

Then she was probably not far from death, right?

Listening to the occasional discussion from the crowd, he simply lay down on the table again.

Sigh, why isn't he dead yet?

After absorbing the spiritual essence, he wanted to take a nap.

A short while later, those people said that Ayako Oki hadn't returned after twenty minutes, so something might have happened. Then... five or six men, big and small, went to the women's restroom to look for her.

What's going on?

Kudo Kazuma lay on the table for a while, and then the others returned, but they didn't bring Oki Ayako.

Conan walked over to Kazuma Kudo without hesitation, resting his chin on his hand, as if talking to himself or discussing something with his younger brother.

"Miss Oki didn't say who the murderer was. Instead, she said that she might have made a mistake... She also said that the murderer wouldn't continue killing... That's strange. Why did her attitude suddenly change?"

Hattori Heiji leaned casually against the table: "Perhaps she thought about it repeatedly while in the restroom and realized that her reasoning was wrong?"

Kazuma Kudo glanced at Heiji Hattori, who was still staring at Conan. At this point, he was too lazy to cover for his older brother and simply joined in the analysis, saying, "What if she didn't figure it out herself? Then we'll have to ask her amazing boyfriend, right?"

Heiji Hattori was taken aback. What the heck was this "magical boyfriend" thing?

Conan immediately understood what his little brother meant: "You mean, it's possible that her boyfriend, Mr. Toba, who went out with her, said something that made her choose to give up the identification?"

Kazuma Kudo, who was lying on the table, shrugged: "I was just guessing. By the way, where is that amazing boyfriend's girlfriend?"

Conan frowned, and said with some disapproval, "Going for a walk... going for a walk at a time like this is really..."

Kazuma Kudo yawned: "It's true what they say, when you travel alone, you're bound to end up dead..."

Conan: "Heh..."

Hattori Heiji: "Huh?"

"Yes, when the murderer is still unknown, going out for a walk is, based on past experience, clearly a death sentence."

Kudo Kazuma sat up straight and shrugged.

As if to echo his words, a violent explosion rang out outside the moment he finished speaking…

Since the series of explosions orchestrated by Teiji Moriya, they have witnessed multiple major explosions in less than half a month. Conan is almost developing PTSD from hearing the explosions.

Upon hearing the commotion outside, he immediately dashed out like a wild dog, leaving behind only Kudo Kazuma, who was reaching out his hand like Er Kang, and Hattori Heiji, whose eyes held a subtle expression.

"Hey, why are you looking at me?" Kudo Kazuma stood up as well. "Aren't you going to go check what's going on outside?"

When he slowly walked out, everyone had already gathered outside.

The garage exploded and is now engulfed in flames. Kogoro Mori is holding Kento Toba tightly, trying to persuade him—it seems that Kento Toba is pretending to rush in.

Seeing that Ayako Oki was also gone, Kazuma Kudo originally intended to expose Kento Toba and then go back to his room to sleep, but then he heard Fujisawa anxiously say beside him, "Hurry up and put out the fire! Otherwise, that book will..."

At this point, he seemed to realize something and quickly shut up.

Kazuma Kudo, Conan, and Heiji Hattori all glanced at him.

Kudo Kazuma raised an eyebrow. Could it be that he could receive another spirit?

The waitress led everyone to a small fire extinguisher and a water gun, and after a lot of work, they finally put out the fire in the garage.

Fujisawa was even more anxious than Kento Toba, whose girlfriend had died. He went straight to the back seat of the car—and was so frightened by a charred corpse that he fell to the ground.

Kudo Kazuma pinched his nose, stepped forward, and pulled him up, taking the opportunity to absorb the spirit of Oki Ayako after her death.

Seeing Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Kogoro Mori standing there in a line, observing without changing their expressions, Kazuma Kudo frowned and said, "I can't take it anymore, goodbye..."

After returning to the living room, Kudo Kazuma sat back in his original spot and began to doze off with his head on the table.

During this time, he vaguely heard everyone returning and discussing something, but he was too lazy to open his eyes and didn't move.

As soon as all the lights in the room suddenly went out, Kudo Kazuma sat up straight.

Hey, there really is a third soul?

Someone suggested that the fuse had blown, so Fujisawa lit a lighter and prepared to go check it out.

Relying on his exceptional eyesight, Kazuma Kudo clearly saw Kento Toba pick up an ice pick and stab Fujisawa...

It's misaligned!

Kudo Kazuma was speechless. Out of kindness, he used his [Sword Control Technique] to forcefully help Toba Kento pierce the ice spike into Fujisawa's heart.

This incompetent murderer actually needs his help. Isn't that shameful?

"Uh……"

The sound Fujisawa forced out of his throat attracted the attention of others, followed by a loud "crack" of glass shattering.

"what sound!"

In the darkness, someone asked anxiously.

Kudo Kazuma grabbed Toba Kento, who was about to put down his chair, and his amused voice was very clear in the darkness.

"I've got you, you murderer..."
