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

Upon arriving at Misa Setura's room, Asakawa and Yu quickly began their investigation.

During this investigation, the two discovered some differences once again!

First, they discovered some bloodstains that hadn't been found before. The bed sheets had been taken by someone, and even the lamp oil in the lamp jar had leaked out.

Asakawa Yu tried lifting the lamp jar, but that one movement made him realize something he had been ignoring all along!

So, Asakawa Yu began to check how much lamp oil was left in each of the lamp oil jars in each room.

After finally visiting everyone's rooms, Asakawa Yu knew that she had solved the so-called mystery of the locked room!

"It seems you already know how this secret room was created, boss." Miyano Akemi said, seemingly asking but actually speaking with certainty, because she knew that when her boss had that expression, it meant he already knew the truth.

"That's right, and if my reasoning is correct, then what the murderer did is truly horrifying, and it might even scare you."

"Scare me? That's impossible!" Miyano Akemi immediately objected when she heard Asakawa Yu start mocking her!

"Heh, I wonder who was so scared when they first met Dozaki Kazushi that they almost wet their pants and hid behind me. I won't say who it was." Asakawa Yu still didn't let Miyano Akemi off the hook.

“That…that’s different! Who knows if we encountered a person or a ghost back then!” Miyano Akemi continued to argue.

"Hahaha, alright, now we should go. After resolving the last little problem, this farce should come to an end..." Asakawa Yu said meaningfully, looking at the snow falling heavily through the window.

-------------------------

Afterwards, Asakawa Yu found Hiramekuro again and asked him a question from the story he had told her before.

"You mean you want to know why my friend Saeki was able to identify 'TAKAHASHI' as the person who spoke back then, right?"

"That's right, is there any basis for that?" Asakawa Yu asked, puzzled.

"The answer is simple. It's because 'TAKAHASHI' and Saeki are senior and junior. Anyone would be startled to hear the voice of a dead person."

A dead person... I was startled... Recording!

Yes, everything makes sense now. He finally understands who the ruthless 'Snow Spirit' is, who has murdered several people in this snow-covered mountain village blanketed by a blizzard!

------------------------------

"Mr. Asakawa, is there something you need to tell us at this time?" Gota Aijima asked timidly.

"Actually, the reason I called everyone here this time is because I already know the truth about everything, including the murderer who committed this crime!"

boom!

Asakawa Yu's words struck everyone like a thunderbolt, leaving them in disbelief!

"Is...is this true?" Mao Tsukie asked hurriedly.

"Of course, but to be honest, I think these people who were killed deserved to die, and I can completely understand the killer's actions."

Asakawa Yu's words once again caused a huge uproar among everyone!

"How can you say that? What about those innocent people who were killed?" Mao Tsukie protested.

"How do you know those people who were killed were innocent? What do you know?" Asakawa Yu glanced at her meaningfully.

"No matter what, killing is wrong!" Although she lacked confidence, Tsukie Mao still forced herself to say it.

"...Hahahaha, that's right. It's only natural for a college student like you, who hasn't been beaten down by society, to think like this. How pathetic! A flower like you, still living under the warm bed of your parents, would never understand the difficulties of others," Asakawa Yu mocked.

"But I'm saying, if one day your dearest person were killed by someone else, you might do something even more outrageous than the murderer."

...Bang! (Imagine the sound of a door closing and then reopening in Detective Conan!)

"That's right, this murder wasn't caused by Xue Ling, but was a premeditated revenge! The motive is the tragedy that happened two years ago!"

"At the time, we all thought the Dozaki brothers were playing two roles, but that's not actually the case. However, this mistake is precisely what hides the core of the case!"

"Before revealing who the murderer is, let me first explain the method of this locked-room murder."

"The first issue is the freezing of the body. Actually, the degree of freezing is not the core problem; a bottle of extremely cold liquid nitrogen is enough. As for why the murderer went to such lengths to freeze Ms. Setura Misa's body, it's simple: what he wanted to do was to move the body out the window!"

"No, no, no, that's not right! A living person couldn't possibly get out of a window this size," Gota Aijima questioned.

“You’re right, living people can’t actually pass through, but what about corpses?” Asakawa Yu asked in a calm tone.

"The corpse..."

As if they had thought of something, everyone's eyes began to look strange, because they all thought of the same method, a method they never dared to even think of!

"That's right. The murderer dismembered Ms. Setura's body, cutting off her head, feet, hands, and so on, and then through these windows."

"The reason the murderer kept the body stiff was to prevent blood from splattering during dismemberment!"

"The murderer first placed Misa's body outdoors at minus twenty degrees Celsius to lower her body temperature as much as possible. Then, he used liquid nitrogen to freeze the body. Finally, he used a chainsaw to cut the body and arranged the dismembered parts on the bed through the window. Finally, he used liquid nitrogen instead of adhesive to piece the body back together like piecing together a doll. The body frozen on the bed was then displayed!"

"And the body parts were hidden inside the lamp oil jar. At that time, Miss Misa's lamp oil jar actually contained her corpse!"

"What...what did you say?!" Everyone was shocked.

Before anyone could react, Asakawa Yu slowly walked into the oil can and smashed it hard on the ground!

boom!

The lamp oil canister cracked open!

"The reason this lamp oil canister cracks so easily is because it wasn't welded; it was just glued on with super glue!" Asakawa Yu continued to explain.

"The murderer hid this oil canister, and after putting it into Ms. Misa's body, switched it with the original oil canister. He then had me move it into Ms. Misa's room, and then sneaked into the room when no one was paying attention to complete this series of crimes!"

"But another thing that made me realize this scheme was the strange weight of the oil jar!"

"Mr. Yukio Yamada did not fill the lamp oil canister to avoid making it too heavy, but in order to match the weight of the body, the murderer had to fill the canister with oil! That is why I am suspicious."

People were puzzled again. If the murderer brought it in without anyone knowing, how did he take it out without anyone knowing?

"It's very simple. Now that the plan is complete, there's no need for the corpses to exist anymore. Just cut the frozen corpses into pieces and throw them out one by one. When the ice and snow melt, they will naturally become food for wild animals."

"So who is this murderer who used such a cruel method? Actually, this was a clue given to me by the deceased Mr. Dozaki Kazushi."

"When fighting the murderer, he didn't choose a more lethal weapon, but instead chose something like a mug. He was actually trying to tell us who the murderer was. The broken mug had a sunflower-like pattern on it. So, who among our group was carrying something related to sunflowers?"

"That's right, the murderer is you, lawyer Shigeki Kuronuma!"
