Model worker and his little darling

"The murderer used the same method to cross the corridor without being noticed or leaving any footprints. The snow on the left was shallow, only five centimeters deep, and only Ms. Eri Akechi was in that room."

Conan's words shocked everyone, who stared at Eri Akechi in disbelief.

Eri Akechi smiled faintly and said calmly, "That's right, I could indeed kill Ema using the method you suggested. But what about Asuka?"

Receiving a look from Conan, Ping cleared his throat.

"In fact, Shibasaki Asuka was murdered before Anzai Ema. Akechi Eri stole the divine sword beforehand, and last night she stunned and killed Shibasaki Asuka in the bathroom before taking away the blood-stained towel and the murder weapon."

"The timing was calculated in advance, and the dry ice from the cake packaging was used to stick the doll into the gap in the ceiling at the bathroom entrance. When Ran and Harumi Fukatsu arrived at the bathroom door, the dry ice had not yet sublimated, and the doll was still stuck in the ceiling."

"When we came back at 11:30, the dry ice sublimated, the doll fell down, and Ran found it, which made us think that Shibasaki Asuka was murdered after 10:30, thus confusing the order of the crime."

Officer Shin-seo agreed with this explanation.

"That does explain the appearance of the paper doll, but how do you explain the divine knife and the bath towel?"

Eri Akechi chimed in, "I've never been to a public bathhouse."

Hearing this, Pingqing patted Conan's head. "Conan, let them take a look!"

Conan nodded and began contacting Officer Ogura, who was acting as a shill.

After regaining her senses, she realized that Pingqing's action just now was a bit strange. She suddenly remembered that he used to do the same thing when teasing dogs in the park, and then rolled her eyes at Pingqing.

Hirai was confused. What was wrong with Conan this time? He hadn't done anything wrong.

Upon receiving the order, Officer Ogura immediately pushed down two small wooden planks containing a frozen knife and a bath towel, and in the blink of an eye, they slid from the roof into the bathtub.

Seeing the demonstration, the uncle suddenly realized, "So when we're soaking in the hot spring, the 'splatter' sound we hear is the sound of a wooden plank sliding into the bathtub."

"Where did the wooden plank used in the crime go?"

Just then, Officer Ogura ran over carrying the frozen belt.

"I brought the things with me."

Hirai took the obi belt and tapped it. "A frozen obi belt can replace a wooden board. In order to avoid suspicion because there were only two obi belts in the bath, the murderer used a legend. When killing Shibasaki Asuka, he put a lot of obi belts into the hot spring and at the same time put kimonos in the shrine."

"This way, the police can misjudge the order of their deaths and I can create an alibi." After saying that, he threw the belt into the bathtub.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Eri Akechi again.

The scene was successfully recreated, but Eri Akechi showed no sign of guilt. "Your reasoning skills are good, but do you have any evidence?"

Ping Qing shrugged. "The evidence is under your feet. That wound was left when you accidentally stepped on Anzai Ema's dropped earring while you were killing her, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan ran up to Eri Akechi with an earring in his hand. "I've found the missing earring. It's a designer earring that costs 20 yen."

Upon seeing the earring on Conan's hand, Eri Akechi's expression changed.

"You even found the earrings."

Hearing this, Conan smiled sweetly, "Actually, this is just a necklace that I borrowed from Harumi-neechan."

Eri Akechi glanced back at Harumi Fukatsu and smiled faintly, "I admit defeat. I did kill those two people."

Ping Qing curled his lip. Only Conan could do this kind of job of exposing the culprit. Anyone else would definitely not achieve the same effect.

Yasuda Yoriko, standing to the side, looked at Akechi Eri with teary eyes, "Eri-sensei, why did you do this?"

"You should call her Teacher Chieri. The reason you deliberately concealed your identity is because the surname Akira is very rare. We asked our friends in the Metropolitan Police Department to help us find it."

Hearing Pingqing say that, the uncle thought of Takagi, that goofy guy.

Abuse of power for personal gain!

"Moreover, you are the older sister of Suzuka Sakura, who committed suicide back then. You did all this to avenge her."

These words shocked everyone present.

Eri Akechi nodded slowly and began to recount her tragic past.
