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

Conan quickly located where Domoto Shozaburo might be trapped.

Based on Hirano Takeshi's deduction of the direction from Beika Park to the accident site, and based on the time of the accident to estimate the range, he quickly found a place marked "Domoto Metal" on the map.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that this was the former factory area of ​​Domoto Metal. Because the factory was relocated half a year ago, the area has been abandoned for some time and basically no one goes there anymore.

Needless to say, with only half an hour left, they certainly wouldn't delay any longer, and the group immediately took a police car to the old factory area.

On the way, Inspector Megure also used his authority to notify Beika Central Hospital, where Domoto Shozaburo often received medical treatment, and asked them to send an ambulance as soon as possible so that Domoto Shozaburo could be rescued in time because his medication injection had been delayed.

Kazuma Kudo specifically asked Conan how he determined that the kidnapper was Akina Domoto—he thought that the time and motive for the crime were enough, but Conan thought that was definitely not enough, and he must have made a new discovery.

Conan revealed the clues he had found in front of Inspector Megure and the Domoto family.

It turns out that the window of Akinari Domoto's office opens directly to the outside, and there are still oil stains on the window frame that have not been completely wiped off. There are also paper towels used to wipe oil stains in the office trash can.

"That kind of oil stain is obviously industrial. Perhaps it couldn't be considered conclusive evidence before, but now that we know the person might be in the old factory area, that's enough to prove it—there must be similar oil stains in a metal processing factory like that. We'll know once we compare them."

"The most important thing is..." Kudo Kazuma, who was preoccupied with the spirit, shrugged, "At our current speed, as long as that old man is in the old factory area, he can be rescued. If he testifies on his own, Mr. Domoto Akinari, you know what I mean?"

The interrogation and analysis by Kazuma Kudo and Conan had already made Akinari Domoto quite nervous.

At this moment, Kudo Kazuma raised a crucial question that, even without using [Sound Bewitchment], struck right at the soul.

Domoto Akinari confessed everything he had done.

He said he couldn't stand the pressure from his wife and father-in-law anymore, and wanted to use this method to let his wife see his efforts in raising money and his concern for his father-in-law, so that his wife could feel his efforts and love and their relationship could be restored to its original state.

It was indeed him who pretended to kidnap his father-in-law. Hirano Takeshi was just someone he hired to make those two phone calls and deliver the money and medicine to the destination. Who would have thought that Hirano Takeshi would actually get into trouble?

Upon hearing her husband's words, Mitsuko Domoto couldn't help but shed tears and reveal the truth.

It turns out that Domoto Shozaburo suppressed Domoto Akinari because he admired him and wanted to motivate him. And she, along with her father, suppressed her husband, also because she wanted to motivate him in a roundabout way…

When Domoto Shozaburo was taken away by the ambulance, Domoto Mitsuko accompanied him to the hospital, while Domoto Akina was detained by Inspector Megure—Domoto Akina had already committed a crime, and unless Domoto Shozaburo woke up and presented a letter of forgiveness, he would still be sentenced.

After Domoto Akinari was taken away, Takagi volunteered to drive Kudo Kazuma and Conan, who were dressed as women, back home.

Along the way, Takagi spoke with great emotion about the case, while Kudo Kazuma scoffed, "Come on, that Domoto Akinari, he was plotting to kill his father-in-law. Otherwise, he would have told everyone the truth when that old maid tried to persuade him—even if he had only told his wife."

"He wouldn't say anything until absolutely necessary, just hoping to stall for time. Maybe if too much time passed, his father-in-law would die before he could be saved."

Takagi was stunned for a moment: "Why? That's his father-in-law. Does he really want to kill his father-in-law?"

Kudo Kazuma shrugged: "Didn't he say it himself? He couldn't stand his father-in-law's oppression."

He was utterly baffled by these people's thought processes. Is suppressive motivation really such a good thing? Even if it's a suppressive relationship, shouldn't there at least be one person responsible for suppressing and the other for motivating? The father and daughter were both giving their son-in-law the cold shoulder and using sarcastic remarks to suppress him. Wasn't the son-in-law supposed to develop a psychological twist and fight back?

Gin, that cold-blooded criminal from the Black Square, was being suppressed while he was being tolerated elsewhere. These two are not even as good as Gin. If the old man really dies, he deserves it, right?

However, the old man is not dead now, and he knows that his son-in-law kidnapped him. It's hard to say what will happen then.

Of course, that has nothing to do with him.

His immediate priority was figuring out how to kill Kashasa without arousing suspicion himself—doing it in a sushi restaurant would easily attract the police, and then he'd probably have to resort to cheat codes…

As he was pondering this, suddenly there was a "screech" sound, and Takagi, who was driving, slammed on the brakes.

Kudo Kazuma looked up curiously and realized that they had arrived in Beika Town and were not far from Beika Town.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that in front of their car stood Sato Miwako with a cold, pretty face. Beside Sato was Miyamoto Yumi from the traffic department. Both of them were dressed casually and were staring intently at Takagi in the driver's seat.

"Sato, Sato." Takagi quickly opened the car door and got out. "Listen to me, actually those two are... are..."

Takagi turned to look at Kudo Kazuma and Conan, who had also gotten out of the car, wanting them to explain themselves. However, the two, one big and one small, looked like they were watching a show, neither of them saying a word, just wanting to see how Takagi would make up a story, which almost drove Takagi crazy with frustration.

"What is it? Are they people involved in the case?" Sato asked, squinting slightly. "According to regulations, people involved in a case should be accompanied by at least two police officers, right? So why are you alone with these two girls? Can you explain why?"

"Is this a violation of regulations? Or... is this not a case being investigated at all?"

Takagi had initially intended to cover for his good friend, but upon hearing Sato's increasingly cold voice, he immediately abandoned his two mischievous friends who were only interested in watching the spectacle and quickly explained loudly, "I'm just taking them home! Besides, you know these two people; they're Edogawa-kun and Conan!"

His voice was really loud, which inevitably startled passersby.

A Porsche 356A that happened to be passing by their car swayed abnormally a few times, and with a sudden braking sound, crashed into a lamppost next to them with a "bang".

Takagi's eyes widened. No, could his voice really scare a passerby?

Miyamoto Yumi, who belongs to the traffic department, rushed over immediately. This is outrageous! How could a car accident happen like this?

Kudo Kazuma and Conan, who had just been watching the commotion, were speechless. If they weren't mistaken, the car that crashed into the lamppost...

Could it be Gin's car?

Kudo Kazuma took a few steps back and, after clearly seeing the license plate number, was speechless.

If he were to grab Conan now, steal Takagi's car, and run away, Takagi, considering they're all good friends, probably wouldn't pursue the matter of him stealing a police car, right?
