People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"Alright, Mr. Mori, we've done as you asked. You said you already know who the murderer is?"

Looking at Akemi standing in the kitchen, Itakura and the other man couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Mori, you just said that this young lady already knows who the murderer is. You're not joking, are you?"

The two men's faces were filled with distrust, and they even spoke sarcastically, which instantly ignited Ai Haibara's anger, making her face turn extremely dark.

“Mr. Mori is right, I already know who the murderer is.”

Akemi was not provoked by their remarks, and instead answered with a serious expression.

"Heh, then tell me, do you already know who that man in the forest wearing the black knit hat is?"

Surprisingly, Mingmei didn't follow their line of thought. Instead, she calmly shook her head and said, "No, we don't need to know that person's identity at all."

"Because that man wearing a black knitted hat, who is suspected of being the murderer, is not the murderer of Mr. Eryuan at all. The real murderer is hiding among us right now!"

The moment Akemi uttered those words, everyone, including Mori, looked horrified, even incredulous.

"How...how is it possible!"

"I told you long ago, it's simply impossible for us to put chocolate next to a corpse in that situation!"

Faced with the excited rebuttals from Itakura and the others, Akemi did not panic. Instead, she continued to answer seriously: "You are right, because the key to solving the mystery is not in us, but in it."

After he finished speaking, the back door of the kitchen opened, and Conan slowly walked out, accompanied by his dog named Saburo.

"Conan?!" Ran exclaimed.

"That's... Saburo?"

Everyone's face was filled with confusion, especially Mori, who couldn't understand what Akemi meant at all.

"Miss Tang Ze, you said the key to solving the mystery lies with Saburo. Could it be that you mean Saburo brought the chocolate?"

As soon as Mori finished speaking, he realized that he had been too naive. After all, how could a dog be that smart?

Just when he thought his idea was a pipe dream, Akemi unexpectedly agreed with him.

"Actually, Uncle Mori is right. The one who brought the chocolate to Mr. Nigaki was Saburo!"

"what?!"

"That's utter nonsense. How could a mere animal do such a thing? Besides, when you went out to look for Mr. Eryuan, this dog was still in the house with this little boy. How could it have had time to carry the chocolate over there?"

Seriously, I'm speechless. What's with this guy constantly arguing?

I bet those two are definitely the murderers; they kept asking questions the whole time.

[I second that. Even if he wasn't the murderer, he's probably no good either!]

Faced with the sarcastic remarks and rebuttals from Itakura and the other two, Akemi's expression turned serious. "Yes, Saburo was indeed with Conan at the time."

"Hmm? Its name is Saburo?"

“That’s right. The reason I discovered this is because Saburo has always been interested in round things. However, in the videotape that Mr. Nigaki filmed last night, Saburo didn’t react at all to the rolling ball.”

Mingmei continued to explain, "In addition, there's the matter of the previous boss taking Sanlang to sweep the graves every day. The boss's wife mentioned before that now, apart from the boss's three gravestones, all the other gravestones have been damaged."

The proprietress thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true, but what does that prove?"

Akemi looked at everyone with a serious expression and a sharp tone, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason is—the boss makes Saburo stand guard at his ex-wife's grave every day!"

"..."

"Pfft!"

"That's hilarious! Do you know that this dog has to be put back in its cage every night? If what you just said is true, then the assumption is completely invalid!"

Faced with their mockery and provocation, Akemi did not refute them, but instead turned to look at another door in the room.

There, a dog that looked exactly like Saburo slowly walked out.

In an instant, everyone's mouths gaped open in astonishment.

"That is……"

“That’s right, this is Jiro. Also, the bitten chocolate at the crime scene was brought there by him.”

"The two dogs have been silently guarding the tombstone according to the instructions left by the boss before his death. As for why they didn't let the boss's wife know, it's probably because they were concerned about your feelings as the second wife."

"I see." The proprietress quickly accepted the explanation.

My goodness, these two puppies are simply angels!

[They're so incredibly perceptive! But just a heads-up, dogs shouldn't eat chocolate. Anyone with a dog, please remember this!]

[Holy crap, they're even smarter than me!]

"If we follow your line of reasoning, then any one of us here could be the murderer!"

"What are you talking about? You saw it too, the photo with the shadowy figure that Erigaki took when he was attacked by the murderer. Those of you who weren't there during the day are the ones who could be the murderer!"

Immediately, the atmosphere became extremely tense, with both sides harboring suspicions and distrust and hostility between them.

No, that's not actually the case.

"Ok?"

When Akemi refuted him, Funakawa immediately fell silent, not thinking that what he said was wrong.

"It's actually quite simple. The photo appears to have been taken during the day, but there's something very suspicious: why didn't the murderer take the negative after killing Mr. Futagaki?"

"It's very simple. That's because the photo wasn't taken when Mr. Nigaki was murdered. It was just a casual snapshot he took on the street. As for the bloodstains in the photo, they were probably accidentally left there when Mr. Nigaki cut his finger with a kitchen knife that night."

"The murderer did this to mislead us, to make us believe that Mr. Eryuan was murdered during the day, thereby clearing himself of suspicion."

When Akemi finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but show expressions of horror.

"The murderer, could it be..."

"Hoo~" Akemi took a deep breath, her eyes scanning the crowd before finally settling on a certain person.

"If my reasoning is correct, the real culprit is you—Ms. Kanariya!"

You are the murderer!
