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

"Hopeless……"

After a preliminary autopsy, Kogoro Mouri frowned and said, "In my judgment, Mr. Itakura has been dead for at least a day."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan immediately took out her phone: "I'm going to call the police."

"It seems he died of a sudden heart attack?" Kogoro Mouri observed the items on the table. "His medicine bottle is still here. It looks like he didn't have time to take his medicine when he had the attack, and he died as soon as he couldn't catch his breath."

“No…” Conan tugged at Kudo Kazuma’s sleeve and whispered, “This guy definitely didn’t die of a sudden heart attack.”

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "I can tell."

After all, Itakura Taku's soul is currently asking Soma Ryu's medium a question.

It's just that no one else could hear it except him.

After Kudo Kazuma finished speaking, he gently poked Conan with his finger, making him look at Itakura Taku's bag—inside the backpack was a disk with the word "Diary" labeled on it.

It was as if they were afraid Conan, the chosen one, wouldn't know that this was a diary.

Conan understood immediately and nodded.

After absorbing Itakura Taku's soul, Kudo Kazuma casually placed his hand on the computer desk and used the skill [Memory Recall].

When Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with his men, Kazuma Kudo immediately began his "deduction" performance.

"Mr. Soma, did you kill Mr. Itakura?" Kudo Kazuma used his [Sound Bewitching] skill, looking at Soma Ryusuke with a half-smile. "Can you tell me why?"

Anyway, he's not going to complete this mission, so at least he can give Gin some explanation.

Ryosuke Soma's heart skipped a beat at the question posed by Kazuma Kudo, who seemed to have a special aura. He suppressed the urge to tell the whole story and managed to ask with difficulty, "You... how did you know? No... how could you think I killed someone? Where's the evidence?"

Before Kudo Kazuma could speak, Conan, who had already secretly put away the disk labeled "Diary," said, "Hey~ look here... isn't this Go board a bit weird?"

“Indeed.” The first to speak was Subek, who knew Go. He looked down at the Go board next to the computer desk. “When playing Go, once you surround an opponent’s stone, you should remove it. It’s wrong to leave a stone here when it’s surrounded. Mr. Itakura knows Go and shouldn’t make such a mistake.”

Conan raised his hand to his chin and said, "What if Mr. Itakura arranged it like this on purpose? Maybe it's some kind of code."

His words left everyone else somewhat bewildered, even Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but glance at him, clearly not understanding.

Conan sighed inwardly, then pretended to be curious and approached Itakura Taku's computer.

"Huh! This laptop is so strange. Why are there so many tiny dots on its keyboard?"

Xiao Lan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, but she still went forward to take a look and found that she actually recognized it. She immediately said, "In my opinion, this should be a dot character."

Naito Sadahira explained, "That's right. Actually, Mr. Itakura and I are both experiencing a rapid decline in our eyesight, so we need to use these Braille characters to help us. I heard that he has been practicing the Braille input method recently."

"Oh?" Kudo Kazuma pointed to the Go board. "So, are these dots? Does Mr. Naito know what they mean?"

Naito Sadahira examined the board carefully: "Looking at the black stones alone, they really do look quite similar... Let me see."

He read it aloud, word by word, as he looked at it.

"The murderer is Ryūsuke Soma. The evidence is his watch..."

In a flash, everyone's eyes turned to Soma Ryusuke.

Kazuma Kudo shrugged. "Look how conscientious this victim is, even providing evidence. Mr. Soma, can you now tell us your motive for murder?"

"Or would you like to provide your watch so that the forensics department can take a look and see why a watch you bought five days ago has the fingerprints of Itakura Takumi, who disappeared seven days ago?"

These words immediately broke Soma Ryusuke's defenses.

Under the combined influence of the "Sound of Confusion" and Conan's protagonist aura, Ryosuke Soma confessed his methods and motives in detail.

It turns out that he and Itakura Taku were friends for twenty years, and twenty years ago, they even shared a common dream. Who knew that Itakura Taku had completely abandoned his dream and ignored their past promises? This was unbearable for him, so after Itakura Taku "disappeared" again, he chose to kill him.

To this, Kudo Kazuma could only curse, "Couldn't you have waited a bit longer to kill him?"

He'll just take Itakura Suguru to Gin to complete the mission, thus saving him from having his perfect record of never failing a mission broken.

After receiving the commission fees from Subek and Naito Teipai, Kogoro Mouri took the three of them out for dinner before returning to the Mouri Detective Agency.

Conan then went back to the Edogawa residence with Kazuma Kudo.

After the two brothers arrived at the study, they used the computer to access the contents of the hard drive.

Kazuma Kudo just wanted to find out where the software was, no matter how advanced it was, he just wanted to give it to Gin to get it over with.

Conan spent a long time searching based on the timeline provided by Ryusuke Soma and Kazuma Kudo, but unfortunately, they only found ordinary diaries and nothing else.

Kudo Kazuma looked speechless: "What do you think would happen if I just handed this diary to Gin and told him that the mission wasn't completed and it wasn't my fault, but simply because Itakura Takuta was unlucky enough to be killed?"

Conan glanced at him speechlessly: "Gin really won't kick you?"

He hadn't forgotten the scene he'd witnessed firsthand: Gin kicking Kazuma into the car.

Ugh……

If only he weren't a primary school student, he'd love to kick that brat of a brother.

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but look at Conan with a puzzled expression: "That's outrageous. How did you know Gin would kick someone when he's angry? Could it be... that you have the same idea as him?"

Conan sighed, too lazy to bother with his bratty younger brother.

Why not use that energy to carefully study Itakura Taku's diary?

When he turned his attention back to the computer screen, he was taken aback.

Conan had been staring at the computer screen and hadn't noticed anything wrong. But when he looked at the screen again after his mind wandered, he noticed that the spacing between many paragraphs in the diary document was inconsistent, some wide and some narrow, which was obviously incorrect.

Conan immediately selected the wider-spaced blank areas, selected them with the left mouse button, and dragged them...

The blue background and white lettering were thus revealed.

Having known the method all along but pretending not to, Kudo Kazuma immediately exclaimed, "Is this the legendary White-Reversal Monster?"

Conan: "Huh?"

What the heck is this "anti-white monster"?
