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

Ever since the short-haired woman, Chihiro, mentioned "six months ago," the atmosphere among those people has been strange, and they've even had a disagreement.

Upon seeing this, Kudo Kazuma simply activated his skill [Awakening Technique], and then discovered that among a bunch of soft white bright spots, there was indeed a bright red spot of light.

This red dot represents Sano Izumi, the long-haired woman who initially mocked the short-haired woman. A faint red arrow extends from the red dot representing her, pointing directly at the short-haired girl named Chihiro.

Moreover, the arrow became redder and more conspicuous as Chihiro spoke.

Kudo Kazuma made a guess—was he about to take action?

Even more coincidentally, the short-haired woman, Chihiro, needed to go to the restroom...

Good grief, you've actively triggered the "solo journey, I'm bound to be the one who dies" state, haven't you?

Kazuma Kudo expressed his admiration.

Immediately afterwards, Sano Izumi, filled with murderous intent, made an excuse and left, and the others who were with him also left one after another.

Conan and his friends found a good spot nearby to watch the fireworks, planning to watch them promptly at seven o'clock.

"Wow, less than ten minutes left! I can't wait!" Sonoko greeted the others. "I'd better hurry and go to the restroom before it starts."

Kudo Kazuma spent 10 points to expand the map radius of the [Awakening Technique] from 10 meters to 100 meters, and the red dot representing Sano Izumi was seen moving towards the restroom.

He was also very excited about the spiritual energy he was about to receive, just like Sonoko was looking forward to fireworks...

"Yuanzi hasn't returned yet, so we won't have time to see the beginning, will we?"

Just as Xiaolan finished her remark, fireworks burst into the night sky with a loud "bang".

"Wow! It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, it's very beautiful."

As Ran and Conan were marveling at it, Izumi Sano suddenly ran over from not far away: "It is indeed very beautiful for someone seeing it for the first time."

Kudo Kazuma noticed that the light representing Sano Izumi had gradually faded to white, so he simply turned off the [Awakening Technique].

The others who were with Sano Izumi also arrived one after another.

With narrowed eyes, she asked curiously why Chihiro and Sonoko hadn't arrived yet. As soon as she finished speaking, Sonoko's scream came from the direction of the bathroom.

"It's the garden!"

Conan, relying on his ice skating skills, suddenly dashed out and rushed towards the restroom, with Ran and Kazuma Kudo quickly following behind.

The two weren't very good at skating, so they were a little slow when they crossed. Just as they passed, they heard Conan say in a deep voice, "Ran-neechan, let's call the police."

While Ran was calling the police, Kudo Kazuma went over to take a look.

The door to the women's restroom was wide open, and a short-haired woman named Chihiro lay sprawled on the floor. There were large patches of blood on the walls in front of and behind her, and beside her, a crooked letter "S" was written in blood, clearly a signal left by the deceased.

A shotgun was lying on the floor of the women's restroom.

Kazuma Kudo whispered in Conan's ear, "Tsk tsk... S, Shinichi? Wow, could it be that she bumped into you and didn't apologize, so you used your Shinigami powers to take her away?"

Conan, speechless, gave a half-moon-shaped glance: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."

Kudo Kazuma curled his lips and said, "Whether you can speak well or not doesn't matter. The important thing is that I know who the murderer is."

Conan glanced at him, then turned back to examine the corpse—he didn't want to copy answers from his brat; that would ruin the fun of deduction.

Kudo Kazuma didn't disturb his fun-seeking, but waited for Inspector Megure to arrive with his men before going directly to him.

Inspector Megure was taken aback when he saw him, then sighed, "Edogawa-kun, right? If you're here, is that guy here too?"

"Uh, no..." Kudo Kazuma coughed and said, "Tonight it's just us young people out having fun. I'm driving, so Uncle Mori didn't come along."

"He didn't come?" Inspector Megure looked at Kazuma Kudo with a questioning gaze. "Could it be that you've been studying with him for too long and have picked up some of his Grim Reaper qualities too?"

"How could that be? There's Conan, isn't there? He's much more diligent than me!" Kudo Kazuma retorted, then quickly changed the subject. "Besides, I already know who the culprit is."

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up, and then he was dragged by Kazuma Kudo to the corridor outside the restroom.

“Inspector, look,” he said, pointing to a thin bloodstain on the floor of the corridor. “The murderer killed the victim while wearing ice skates with blades. The bloodstain on the floor proves that the guy’s ice skates must still have the victim’s blood on them.”

With this clue, and considering that only a few people who played clay shooting together had shotguns, the police quickly narrowed down the search area and found Sano Izumi.

Conan, who deduced from the coded message on the victim's phone that the murderer might be Sano Izumi, couldn't help but stare with wide eyes—this was too fast!

With solid evidence and a chain of reasoning provided by Conan, Sano Izumi quickly confessed. However, the reason she gave for killing the victim was a bit too melodramatic.

In short, girl A and boy B are friends. Boy B likes girl C and confesses his feelings to her. Girl C isn't interested in boy B, so she tells him she's with boy D. Boy B is resentful and calls boy D to confirm.

Male D and female A are boyfriend and girlfriend. At the time, girlfriend A was sick, and male D was worried that A's illness would prevent him from paying attention to male B, so he hung up the phone.

Male B was first rejected by the goddess and then ignored by the man. In a moment of despair, he committed suicide. Before his suicide, he told Female A that Female C and Male D were together. Female A believed him and, in a fit of anger, broke up with her boyfriend D. She also blamed C for her friend's death and killed C to avenge B.

This is "that incident" that happened half a year ago. Female A is the murderer Sano Izumi, and female C is the deceased Chihiro.

This whole thing is dramatic enough, but what's even more dramatic is that it all stemmed from a misunderstanding. It's regrettable, but even more baffling.

Fortunately, Sano Izumi's boyfriend, the innocent dumped guy D, truly loves her. After learning the truth, he didn't mind being dumped for no reason half a year ago and said he would wait for Sano Izumi to be released from prison.

"That's why," Kudo Kazuma said earnestly to Conan, "look, if they had just explained things clearly, would they have lost two lives? If I hadn't brought Ran with me, you'd probably still be thinking about how to keep it from her, right?"

Conan inwardly agreed with his brother's statement, but verbally refused to concede: "My situation is different from theirs. I'm keeping it from her to protect her. Besides, who doesn't have things they keep from others? Don't you?"

Kazuma Kudo gave a slight smirk: "...You're right."

So, he concealed his identity as a member of the organization, wasn't that also to protect his older brother? — If his older brother really wouldn't let him off the hook, Gin wouldn't let Conan off the hook either, then…

If his elder brother were to confront his own brother, no matter how you look at it, he would inevitably get hurt, which would be a huge loss.
