After Kudo Kazuma left the storeroom, the family maid followed him and led him to the guest room that had been prepared for him.

The row of bedding on the floor in the guest room was obviously prepared for the four men. Kudo Kazuma simply went to find the drunken Mouri Kogoro, intending to help his older brother move his father-in-law to the guest room.

But as soon as he arrived at the room, Xiaolan, Heye, and Robert returned.

Kudo Kazuma mentioned to them that Takeda Shinichi had been killed. Upon hearing that someone had died, the confused Kogoro Mori instantly came to his senses. He told the others to go back to their rooms and not to wander off, and then he went to the warehouse.

Kudo Kazuma readily complied and obediently went back to his guest room, crawled into bed, and started playing on his phone.

The rain outside was quite loud. He heard someone going out, but he didn't pay much attention.

Not long after, a low shout was suddenly heard from Xiaolan, followed by a man's scream...

A series of rapid footsteps rushed into the courtyard. To avoid any situation that might arouse suspicion, Kudo Kazuma also crawled out of bed, put on his coat, and followed them out.

Then he discovered that in the dimly lit courtyard under the rain, Robert was lying on the ground in the mud, his life hanging in the balance. Xiao Lan and Ye were each on one side of him, and they even kindly held an umbrella for him to prevent him from getting too wet.

Not only Kazuma Kudo, but also Conan, Hattori, and Kogoro Mouri ran over from the warehouse. Seeing the strange scene, Kogoro Mouri finally asked what was going on.

It turned out that Xiaolan had lost something, so Heye accompanied her to look for it.

The two found a strange white ball on the ground. Just as they were wondering what it was, someone attacked them from behind.

If they were ordinary girls, they would probably be killed by both of them here. Unfortunately, neither of them are ordinary people, and unlike in the original story where Kazuha was alone, Ran is also here now.

As a result, the person who tried to attack them from behind with a stun gun was first elbowed away by Ran, then thrown away by Kazuha, and when he tried to escape, Ran chased after him and kicked him...

"Then, Robert collapsed here..." Xiaolan patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. "I was so scared. Luckily, I was mentally prepared beforehand, otherwise this would have been too terrifying."

The Takeda family looked at Robert, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and then at the two girls who looked terrified. They all gasped – who was more terrifying?

Kogoro Mouri immediately grasped the key point: "Were you mentally prepared beforehand? Ran, what do you know?"

Ran nodded: "On our way to Misa's grave, Conan called and told me to be careful and protect myself and Kazuha."

"I think that at the time, besides the two of us, there was only Robert by our side. Conan knew that Kazuha was so capable that she didn't need protection, but he still said those things. He was probably reminding me to be careful of Robert, right?"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Conan but didn't say anything.

Kazuha leaned over and said, "No wonder you insisted on going back to get the batteries together. So that's what Conan's phone call meant? You really know this kid well!"

Kogoro Mouri walked over, looked down at the unconscious Robert, and said, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Instead, let's talk about why this kid suddenly attacked you. Also, that brat called Ran to warn her; he must have known something, right?"

“We don’t know either.” Kazuha shook his head. “We just discussed it, and it can probably only be because of this strange little white ball. After all, we’ve been looking here for a while. If it was just trying to attack us, it should have done so already.”

As she spoke, she held up the small white ball in her hand.

Conan and Heiji Hattori exclaimed in unison, "BB guns! I see!"

With the discovery of the BB pellets, the two quickly figured out the traps set by the killer. With Kazuma Kudo's help, they demonstrated the killer's method to everyone.

Unlike the original storyline where there was no concrete evidence and everything relied on Robert's slip of the tongue, this time the solid evidence is right in front of us, and it is an undeniable fact that Robert is the murderer.

only……

Everyone was baffled as to why Robert would kill someone.

When Robert woke up, they got the answer.

It turns out that Robert believed Miss Misa's death was caused by her nominal father, Shinichi Takeda, which is why he orchestrated this murder.

"Then why did you kill Negishi?"

"Because he... he said Misa wasn't her father's biological daughter, that she must have been abused, and that with such a noticeable scar on her head, no one would marry her, and she would never be happy..."

“His eyes were unfocused. I knew he was under the influence of drugs and not thinking clearly, but why did he say those things about Misa?”

"I knew her English wasn't very good, and she had been studying Japanese diligently for the past three years. She finally made some progress and rushed over to see her. I thought she would greet me with a big smile, but alas, what a pity..."

For a moment, everyone fell silent, except for Takeda Yuzo and Takeda Ryuji's wife, Yoko, who were completely bewildered: "Misa isn't Big Brother's daughter? What are you talking about?"

Kogoro Mouri said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid we'll have to ask Mr. Ryuji about that."

Takeda Yoko was taken aback and quickly looked at Takeda Ryuji: "Husband, what exactly is going on?"

"I'm sorry, Yoko, I should have told you about this sooner..."

It turns out that the doctor at the hospital told Shinichi Takeda's wife that Shinichi Takeda was infertile. Shinichi Takeda's wife did not want her husband to be saddened by this, but she also wanted to give him a child. So she approached Ryuji, who was not yet in a relationship or married at the time, and asked him to help her fulfill her older brother's wish to have children.

Seeing his sister-in-law so heartbroken, Ryuji Takeda impulsively agreed, and then, in one fell swoop, they had their daughter, Misa.

After hearing his account, Kudo Kazuma scoffed, "You should have told not only your wife, but also your daughter Misa!"

Three years ago, Shinichi Takeda learned from a doctor who had let slip that he was infertile, and realized that Misa was not his child.

As a result, he had a big argument with his wife Kinuyo, and they may have even gotten into a physical fight. Misa, who was unaware of the truth, stepped in to mediate, but was pushed over by Shinichi Takeda and fell, leaving a long scar on her head.

After that, Takeda Shinichi frequently argued with his wife, Kinuyo, and also verbally and physically abused Misa. Unaware of the truth, Misa only knew that her once loving parents were suddenly arguing every day, and that her loving father seemed like a completely different person. Unable to bear the blow, she was driven to the brink of suicide…

If Misa's biological parents had told her the truth, perhaps she wouldn't have taken the step of suicide, and her mother wouldn't have committed suicide out of guilt.
