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

The police arrived quickly.

While they were handling Sumie Okazaki's body, Yusuke Sakata said to Heiji Hattori, "Regarding the driver's licenses, we've discovered some connections between these deceased individuals."

Before long, the four of them arrived at Higashijiri Police Station and obtained the clues found by Yusuke Sakata's colleague—it turned out that the four deceased had trained in the same driving school training class twenty years ago.

"Besides the four of them, the other people who participated in the training camp at the same time were councilor Goji and the wanted robber and murderer, Numabuchi Kiichiro."

At this time, the driving school also sent over photos of the training class via fax. Apart from the instructor, the other six people matched the four deceased, the village councilor, and Numabuchi Kiichiro.

Just as Conan and Heiji Hattori were comparing the six people, Kazuma Kudo pointed at the seventh person: "Is this their coach? He really looks like Inspector Sakata..."

He immediately used the [Sound Bewitching] skill to ask, "Officer Sakata, this isn't your father, is he?"

Yusuke Sakata paused for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, that is indeed my father."

Kudo Kazuma tilted his head: "If I may ask, how is your father...?"

Conan subconsciously looked at Kazuma Kudo. Judging from his expression, did he know the culprit's identity again?

Is it...

Working backward from the conclusion that "Officer Sakata might be the murderer," he suddenly noticed many details he hadn't seen before.

"Ichima!" Conan looked up and asked, "Do you think the culprit is Inspector Sakata?"

Heiji Hattori frowned: "Why? Just because Officer Sakata looks a lot like that coach?"

Before Kudo Kazuma could say anything, Conan interjected, "Of course it's not just that! We've been wondering why Ms. Okazaki would run out at a time like this, but what if the person who called her was a police officer? She wouldn't have any suspicions, would she?"

Compared to Sakata Yusuke, who has become increasingly suspicious, Conan trusts his younger brother's intuition more.

So many times, Kudo Kazuma has never made a mistake whenever he speaks.

Kudo Kazuma then looked at Sakata Yusuke and used the [Sound Bewitching] skill to ask, "Officer Sakata, you killed Ms. Okazaki too, didn't you?"

"It's actually quite simple. Just stop the car after us and get out. Then, when we're heading to the Okazaki house, call Ms. Okazaki first and tell her to get out. Take advantage of her trust in you because of your identity and kill her. It's not difficult, is it?"

Heiji Hattori sighed as well: "So, he really did switch to the exact same car, right? As long as he kills someone and drives over in another identical car parked nearby, we won't even notice that he switched cars unless something unexpected happens."

Inspector Sakata gave a wry smile and said, "What a pity, I was originally planning to kill Goji too..."

After his explanation, everyone realized that his father had been the coach of that training camp twenty years ago.

The trainees, finding his father too demanding, secretly sabotaged his brake pads, just to see how this strict person would handle an emergency.

Needless to say, Sakata's father died in a car accident. Twenty years later, the statute of limitations for the case expired, and Sakata chose revenge.

After saying that, Yusuke Sakata took out the gun from his pocket and slowly pointed it at his temple.

"Now that you've discovered my intentions, I'll stop here. What a pity, my revenge isn't quite complete yet..."

"Sakata! Stop!"

Hattori Heiji rushed forward to grab Sakata's gun, but unexpectedly, something else was faster than him.

Kazuma Kudo snatched the photo from Conan's hand and threw it away.

The photo of him managing to deflect a crossbow bolt last time has now successfully caused Yusuke Sakata's hand to hurt as well.

Taking advantage of Sakata's pain, Hattori Heiji pounced on him and successfully snatched the pistol, throwing it far away where Conan caught it.

"Don't worry, I won't let you do anything foolish."

Heiji Hattori released Sakata, who had lost his suicidal desires, and looked at Conan, saying, "Because some idiot once said, if you use reasoning to drive someone to their death, what's the difference between that and murder?"

Conan curled his lips into a slight smile, but remained silent.

"And you, Kū... cough, Edogawa, thanks." Hattori Heiji then looked at Kudo Kazuma, "Looks like you're really quite skilled."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "It was nothing."

Thanks to Heiji Hattori's efforts, Yusuke Sakata chose to turn himself in.

He revealed that he had imprisoned Numabuchi Kiichiro and originally intended to use him as a scapegoat, and of course, he also revealed the place where Numabuchi Kiichiro was imprisoned.

Upon learning the location, Kudo Kazuma immediately released his Yin clone. By the time the police found Numabuchi Kiichiro, he was already a peacefully deceased body.

No one believed that Yusuke Sakata killed him—after all, Sakata wanted to make him a scapegoat.

The autopsy failed to uncover the truth behind Numabuchi Kiichiro's death. Ultimately, it was determined that his imprisonment during that period had taken a toll on his health, coupled with the inability to replenish his water and food in a timely manner, and the constant fear he endured, leading to his sudden death.

"APTX-4848 is still useful occasionally."

In Fino's office at Organization Base No. 2, in the research group.

Kudo Kazuma asked rather bluntly, "Any more? Give me two more 4848 pills, you never know when you might need them. And five 4869 and 4892 pills too, so I don't have to come over so often to get them."

"Why do you need so many?" Fino frowned slightly. "This is poison to kill people, not candy."

"Besides, the entire action team and intelligence team need them, it's not just for you alone. You can't just say you need as many as you want, there aren't that many... um..."

Kudo Kazuma suddenly moved very close, his usually clear and bright blue eyes revealing a hint of icy coldness.

Fino unconsciously took two steps back, subconsciously distancing herself from him.

"Is it that much?" Kudo Kazuma curled his lips into a smile, his tone revealing no emotion. "Could it be that without Sherry, your entire research group has run out of new research ideas?"

Fino snorted irritably: "Yes, the research on 4869 has indeed stalled. Although the research on derivative drugs is still ongoing, it has been slowed down considerably."

“Before, no one took Shirley seriously, but now that she’s gone, her weaknesses are being exposed one by one. Rum is very unhappy about this, and I heard it even alarmed the boss. If this continues, I don’t think our medical research team and your action group that killed Shirley will get away with it!”

"Now that you know the current situation of the research team, you won't still have the nerve to ask for so much medicine, will you?"

So, Rum was actually using Sherry to target the action group?

A fleeting, ambiguous look crossed Kudo Kazuma's eyes as he casually said, "If the research team is having such a tough time, then I'll take a smaller amount. Four of each of these three medications will do."

Fino: "Huh? What's missing!"
