Conan: No, why aren't you following the script?

Soon, under Robert's driving, the four of them arrived at Misa Takeda's grave in no time.

Looking at the unusually simple grave, Robert's face was covered in painful tears.

"Misa...Misa, sob sob..."

Sometimes, a man's cry isn't as clear and resonant as most people imagine; in most cases, it sounds as if his cries are being subconsciously suppressed...

His voice was low and choked with sobs.

At this time, Toyama Kazuha did not come over to disturb him. Her so-called desire to see the moonlight was merely out of concern that this foreign friend might cause some trouble by coming over on his own.

Seeing Robert sitting alone in front of the tombstone, she wisely pulled Ai Haibara along, and the two girls hid by a stream nearby, trying not to disturb the dejected man.

However, when Ye Xiang invited Kitagawa Xun to join them, she discovered that Kitagawa Xun had somehow squatted down next to Robert and patted his shoulder.

Seeing this, Kazuha knew that Mr. Kitagawa had something to say to comfort Robert, so she didn't insist anymore and simply went to enjoy the moonlight.

Once the two had walked away and Kitagawa was sure they wouldn't hear him, he sighed, reached into his pocket, pulled out a pack of tissues, and handed it to Robert.

"Thank you, Mr. Kitagawa. You are such a kind person."

Robert took the tissue and, without caring about his image, began wiping himself right in front of Kitagawa Isao.

Then, he sighed with emotion:

“Back then, Misa and I once watched the moonlight like this together. At that time, she was like an angel, always taking care of me gently, changing my dressings, and feeding me. It’s just a pity that Misa’s English wasn’t good. For her sake, I went back and practiced Japanese diligently. But… I never expected that when we met again, we would be separated by death.”

At this point, Robert looked like he was about to cry again.

Kitagawa Isao quickly spoke, suppressing his tears.

"The white moonlight, for men, that's the most lethal thing. You know how many people in this world have been heartbroken for their white moonlight. Robert, I can actually understand how you are now. But now that you've gotten your revenge, you can rest easy, right?"

"what?"

Robert was crying when he suddenly heard Kitagawa Isao say those words, and immediately, tears streamed down his face...

"Kitagawa Isao, I don't understand what you mean. I... I don't need revenge, and I have no revenge to take..."

Robert quickly wiped away his tears and tried his best to appear clueless, but in reality, he was extremely nervous.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Isao didn't keep him in suspense any longer. After a light laugh, he quickly continued:

"Do I need to elaborate? I just saw it. Before we left the Takeda residence, you opened the driver's window and fired a toy gun at the second floor of the warehouse..."

"That, that was just..."

Robert was shocked to hear this and quickly prepared to stand up and explain, but Kitagawa Isao waved his hand and pressed him back down.

"Hey, can't you let people finish what they're saying? You fired a toy gun to make Shinichi Takeda stick his head out of the warehouse, and then you used the rope you'd tied to the car beforehand to trigger the trap, just like a hunter's trap, except this trap's rope had been pre-arranged into a spider web pattern."

At this point, Kitagawa Isao stroked his chin and chuckled, "You must have heard about the spider shrine that was once beneath the Takeda family's warehouse from Takeda Misa, right? After learning about Takeda Misa's death, you were inspired to set up this trap, with the aim of killing Takeda Shinichi, the one who drove your beloved to her death. Am I right?"

"you……"

After hearing Kitagawa Isao's reasoning, Robert's eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed a few times, and finally he let out a soft sigh.

“Mr. Kitagawa, your reasoning is correct. I killed Negishi Akio and Takeda Shinichi, who died a few days ago. But I’m curious, according to my calculations, Takeda Shinichi’s body should not be discovered for at least another hour. How did you know he was dead now?”

"This is a very simple question,"

Kitagawa Isao smiled calmly, "I knew from the beginning that you had ulterior motives for coming here. Based on that, and combined with the description of the murder scene by Takeda Shinichi... to be honest, the trap you set is really old-fashioned. Many hunters in the north hunt like this, so I could see through it at a glance."

Use ropes to create a trap, and then suddenly tighten the ropes once the target walks into it...

This is a method of catching birds that Xun Ge'er mentioned in his book when he was a child. If we trace the origin of this method, it is one of the simplest traps used in ancient mountain marches. It was just that it was later used for hunting.

On the other side, Robert's eyes looked somewhat strange upon hearing Kitagawa Isao's casual description.

He had spent several days figuring this out, and now this person had seen through it at a glance, which made Robert somewhat unhappy.

However, Kitagawa Isao's poignant words were not yet finished...

"Of course, I wasn't the only one who saw through it. Just before we left the Takeda family, Hattori Heiji, who was traveling with me, secretly warned me that even though you were an uninvited guest, they still made sure to serve you your share of dinner. This means you're actually hiding something..."

"For example, you actually told Takeda Shinichi your itinerary in advance, which is why he made sure to prepare plenty of ingredients for you. However, Hattori Heiji didn't see you use the toy gun to distract Takeda Shinichi, so he just told me to keep a close eye on your movements."

"This……"

Robert was dumbfounded. His meticulously crafted murder plan had been exposed in less than half an hour, and he was now being watched by two detectives at the same time...

It seems he's really not cut out to be an assassin.

But that's fine, anyway, his mission is over, and he has avenged Misa, so he has no regrets.

Thinking of this, Robert immediately became serious and looked at Kitagawa Isao, saying:

"Since Mr. Kitagawa has seen through me, I will no longer try to deny it. Mr. Kitagawa, please call the police to arrest me. It would be an honor for me to be arrested by a detective like you."

"Look at you, always in such a hurry,"

Kitagawa Isao chuckled and shook his head, patting his shoulder. "Don't rush to call the police. Tell me about the forces behind you. Who sent you to Japan? And what missions have they assigned you?"
