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

Amuro Tooru doesn't quite believe that Kudo Hajime is innocent.

But it cannot be proven that he was the one who did it.

and……

Even if it's proven, what can you do?

Cooperating with Kudo Kazuma would benefit both him and the Public Security Bureau. They couldn't just cut off Kudo Kazuma's connection because of a dead Congressman, Takada.

So, although he was a little reluctant, he still said, "Why don't you tell me the clues first?"

Kazuma Kudo presented the clues and his own ideas, and Hiromitsu Morofushi also joined in.

After hearing what he said, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Amuro Tooru exchanged a glance.

Amuro Tooru said in a low voice, "Indeed, there should be more than one culprit. As for whether the culprit's target is Ishimoto or Takada..."

Kazuma Kudo raised his hand: "Takada is dead, so I choose Takada."

Morofushi Kagemitsu nodded slightly: "I also think the murderer's target was actually Takada—if the murderer's target was Ishimoto, then he should have had a simpler method and a more suitable time to kill him, and there was no need to wait until last night's celebration."

Amuro Tooru continued, "That's right. On the contrary, as a member of parliament, Takada must have a lot of bodyguards protecting him normally, so he's more likely to succeed at a crowded and chaotic celebration like this."

Kudo Kazuma raised his hand to his chin: "So everyone's thinking is the same? Takada is the target, and Ishimoto, who received the threatening letter and injured his shoulder, is just an excuse... Wait, I think I've figured out who the culprit is, or rather, who is the real person behind it all who wants to kill Takada!"

Meeting their gazes, he held up one finger: "Think about it, the other side would use Ishimoto as an excuse to kill someone, definitely because they didn't want others to know that they wanted to kill Takada, and they didn't want anyone to suspect them. So, if Takada is gone, who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

Amuro Tooru and Morofushi Kagemitsu spoke at the same time: "His secretary?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Amuro Tooru nodded: "That makes sense. And there's another point that also explains it—if the murderer wanted to use Ishimoto as an excuse, how could he guarantee that Ishimoto would actually get shot?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu then spoke up: "The only person who can guarantee this will happen without any mishaps is the one who guided Representative Takada through the path he took to take office. That is Secretary Niikura!"

Having identified the murderer, the next step is evidence—and clearly, they're relying solely on guesswork and deduction because they have no evidence.

Having resolved his doubts, Kudo Kazuma stretched and said, "Never mind, it's too late, time to sleep. As for the evidence, let's wait for tomorrow's Conan studies to develop."

Anyway, Conan will definitely get the evidence, so why should he worry about it?

The next morning, Kudo Kazuma was woken up by a phone call from Inspector Megure.

"What? Hiraoka Shiro is dead?"

"Yes, the body was found on the stairs where he was hiding. Witnesses speculated that he fell and hit his head, which led to his death. But with your speculation last night, we are not sure if he was murdered by someone else to cover it up. We can only confirm this at the scene."

Kazuma Kudo replied, "Then let's meet here."

After Inspector Megure gave the specific address, he hung up the phone. Kazuma Kudo first went to the Mouri Detective Agency to pick up Conan before heading to the scene together.

On the way, Conan shared his deduction: "There is clearly a second murderer in this case, or rather, the real murderer. Hiraoka Shiro was just a knife used by the real murderer, and his death only further confirms this fact."

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "That's right, and the real culprit's target should be Representative Takada himself. Even... the real culprit should be Secretary Niikura."

He shared their speculations from the previous night with Conan, and finally sighed, "But we don't have concrete evidence yet, so we can't be completely certain that Niikura is the murderer."

Conan frowned slightly, clearly thinking of something again.

After arriving at the scene, Kudo Kazuma absorbed the spirit and then went to tell Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri their deductions—he told them everything except that the culprit might be Niikura.

Meanwhile, Conan, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, darted around the area and soon reached his little hand into a small hole near the corpse, pulling something out of it.

Even after confirming that Hiraoka Shiro was murdered by the real killer to silence him, the police currently have no specific suspects and can only start with President Ishimoto.

After absorbing the spirit, Kudo Kazuma originally didn't want to get involved in solving cases anymore. However, after Conan delivered a change of clothes to Mouri Kogoro, he had no reason to follow along. In order to get him to come with everyone, Kudo Kazuma had no choice but to drive him to President Ishimoto's place.

As they took the elevator to the president's office, they ran into the secretary, Niikura, who was coming down in the elevator. It was clear that he had just come from President Ishimoto's office.

When Inspector Megure arrived, President Ishimoto confessed that he had indeed been threatened by Hiraoka Shiro because of the company's falsification of accounts. He expressed deep regret that Hiraoka Shiro had tried to kill him but accidentally killed Representative Takada.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure exclaimed, "Wow, there's even a company that's falsifying its accounts!" He immediately took President Ishimoto to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Because they suspected there was another culprit, but the other culprit had not yet been found, Kogoro Mouri went to the Metropolitan Police Department with them.

After leaving only Kazuma Kudo and Conan in the office, Conan immediately asked Kazuma Kudo to help him find a remote control switch that was about the size of a lighter. The two searched around and quickly found the switch.

Looking at the two items, Conan smiled confidently: "The evidence is complete."

Before long, all those involved in the case were summoned to the scene of the first murder.

According to Conan's reasoning, the method of murder this time was quite brilliant. Therefore, Kudo Kazuma didn't hold it against him anymore and helped him complete the normal reasoning and find the real culprit.

With the real culprit brought to justice, Kudo Kazuma's mission can be considered complete.

For this mission report, he prepared seven or eight blank sheets of paper, on which he wrote only one line: "Congressman Masao Takada is dead. Mission accomplished." Then he attached a photo of the scene. That was it.

If Rum is going to complain, we'll just let him do the tasks himself from now on!

After submitting the "mission report," Kudo Kazuma returned home.

A few days later, Conan called him and asked him to go to Professor Agasa's house.

Kazuma Kudo went to Professor Agasa's house and found the three members of the Detective Boys there, playing games with Haruka Haibara. Ai Haibara was sitting to the side watching, with a satisfied smile on her face.

What do you mean?

Kazuma Kudo was speechless.

Surely we can't expect him to come and see these three unruly kids, can we?

At that moment, Conan poked half his head out of Professor Agasa's study and waved to Kazuma Kudo with a sly air.

It's rare to see Conan like this. Can Kudo Kazuma resist his curiosity?

He immediately leaned closer and noticed that Conan had a small box in his hand. Inside the box were two pills: one was a plain-looking white pill, and the other was a blue and white capsule...

Even Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

Wow, Ai's work efficiency is amazing!

Is it finished so neatly and beautifully?
