"If you're going to act, you have to go all the way. I already set up your identity for you when you came here." - System.

Thank you so much!

"Two years ago, Ms. Yamabuki, who was only eleven years old, was kidnapped. Although Ms. Yamabuki's family paid the ransom, the kidnappers still brutally attacked her, severing her left leg and gouging out her eyes. This must have been an extremely painful experience. The murderer has not been caught to this day. In fact, the police were not without clues back then. All the evidence they found pointed to one person, the deceased lying on the ground, Kaneda Tsuyoshi."

"Two years ago, Kaneda Tsutomu was just an ordinary office worker. Suddenly, he received a large sum of money, quickly established his own company, became its president, and lived a life of high society. As his family, didn't you ever suspect... where did he get this money from?"

"Although there is no conclusive evidence, all indications suggest that the deceased's rapid rise to power was due to the ransom she received. In other words, the person who harmed Ms. Yamabuki in this state is the deceased, Kaneda Hijikata. Ms. Yamabuki, this gives you a motive for murder. I don't think you would appear in this hotel without a reason, would you?"

Holy crap! That's awesome! I almost believed it myself! Yamabuki Hanajin clapped his hands from the side.

Thank goodness I only came into this world at midnight yesterday.

I thought I was pretty good at bluffing, but I didn't expect you to be even better at talking nonsense than me.

"So...this young lady is the murderer?" The waiter was shocked.

"How could you be so cruel! You only lost a leg, but my father lost his life. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're young. I'll make sure you go to jail!" Kaneda shouted, "Mr. Mori, arrest her right now! She's a murderer!"

"Calm down," Kogoro Mouri said coldly. "I only said that Ms. Yamabuki is a suspect in the murder, but unfortunately, she is not the murderer."

The atmosphere froze again.

"Ms. Yamabuki had absolutely no opportunity to commit the crime. My daughter Ran can testify to that. And... Conan, show that thing to everyone."

"Here I am." Conan hopped over and pulled a bunch of broken screws from his pocket.

"These are the screws that hold the sign in place; someone sawed them off. It's not easy for an adult to saw off a screw, let alone a thirteen-year-old girl with a disability..."

"I'm appealing again. I'm twenty years old this year. Twenty!" Yamabuki Hanajin shouted.

The age displayed on the system interface contradicts the identity assigned to me by the system.

System, you've been too lax.

"Please don't interrupt my reasoning. Just now, I asked Mr. Kaneda and Ms. Kaneda separately if Mr. Kaneda had any enemies. Guess what they said?" Conan hid behind Kogoro Mouri again and started playing along.

Both Kaneda Shoichi and Kaneda Jeko glared at each other with fierce eyes.

Mr. Jin Tian said: "That woman, Du Zi, is just flaunting herself and is only after my father's money. She must have killed my father to fight me for the family fortune."

Ms. Kaneda said: "The man who was born had a very bad relationship with his father. The two often quarreled, even to the point of fighting. My husband must have been killed by his son in order to fight me for the family property."

Yamabuki Hanajin stood upright, and a little fairy beside her quietly handed her a slice of watermelon.

You can enjoy the story and the gossip.

Life can never be this happy!

Chapter 92: Detective Conan

"How dare you talk about me like that behind my back!"

“Aren’t you the same? You and my father were just a couple who married later in life. Now that my father is dead, you haven’t even thought about getting a penny of his money.”

"Husband and wife are the first legal heirs. You are just his son, what right do you have to fight me for the family property?"

"If you're so capable, let's take this to court."

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

A murder case can quickly turn into a family drama.

"Both of you calm down. My reasoning isn't over yet." Kogoro Mouri coughed lightly.

"Does this even need deduction? The murderer is definitely that bitch!"

"Does this even need deduction? The murderer is definitely this stupid kid."

The sharp-tongued young lady, Ida Shiroka, interrupted their conversation: "Looks like this is none of my business. Should I head back now?"

Kogoro Mouri interrupted Hakuka Ida abruptly.

"Ms. Jingda, it's a pity you can't leave yet. Because the one who poisoned the chicken soup was none other than you."

Conan, using Kogoro Mouri's words, reveals a shocking piece of news.

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

"You know best whether I'm lying or not. Just open your bag and you'll see, there are definitely peanut products inside, right?" Kogoro Mouri.

"You're talking nonsense! I have no grudge against him, why would I kill him?" Jing Tian Bai Xia shouted.

"Unfortunately, I had someone investigate your background. You may seem successful on the surface, but you've actually been heavily in debt for a long time. And it all started two years ago when your father's company went bankrupt," Kogoro Mouri roared.

"You...you knew everything?" Ida Byakuya collapsed to the ground. "That bastard Kaneda Tsutomu used despicable means to bankrupt my father's company. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be living such a debt-ridden life. I wish I could tear him to pieces! But...Detective Mouri, how did you know?"

"Oh! Ms. Ida, there's something called surveillance in this world, you don't know that, do you?"

"Pfft!" This was the second time Yamabuki Hanajin had sprayed coffee.

Good heavens! The Conan world now has surveillance cameras!

No, the scariest thing is that Conan can actually watch the surveillance footage.

This is unreasonable! Is my youth coming to an end?

Is Detective Conan about to end?

In this world filled with surveillance, any criminal will be brought to justice.

Ida Byakuya knelt on the ground, sobbing: "He used to be friends with my dad. When they were drinking, they casually mentioned that he was allergic to peanuts. That's how I came up with this revenge plan. I never thought I'd lose to the surveillance cameras! Wait... why am I crying? I didn't kill this bastard! Allergies don't necessarily kill people. He was killed by a falling sign. It has nothing to do with me. Good riddance! He deserved to die! Hahaha!"

"..."

"Respect for the dead, please don't get so excited." Kogoro Mouri coughed. "Next, I'm going to talk about the real murderer. It's true that Ms. Shiraka Ida put peanuts in the chicken soup, which caused Kaneda Tsutomu to have an allergic reaction, but she is not the real murderer."

Kaneda Duko and Kaneda Shiro suddenly tensed up, staring intently at Kogoro Mouri.

"The real murderer is... Kaneda, you killed your own father!" Kogoro Mori shouted.

Jin Tian was born with a pale face.

"You're talking complete nonsense. How could I possibly kill my own father? Besides, I was sleeping in my room the whole time..."

“Sleeping? I doubt it. According to my investigation, the relationship between you and your father is very bad, to the point of fighting. You stay at home and refuse to go out to work, asking your father for money. However, Jin Tiansi is a complete miser and is unwilling to give a single penny to you, his good-for-nothing son. Therefore, the two of you fight fiercely.”

"This trip to the isolated island was the perfect opportunity. You then plotted to murder your own father."

“The sequence of events should be like this: Last night, during a storm, you took the opportunity to saw off the screws on the signboard and secured it with fishing line. Whenever your father passed by downstairs, you would cut the fishing line, causing the signboard to fall and crush your father to death. You have been waiting for this opportunity, so you haven’t left the room since yesterday.”

"What...what evidence do you have?" Jin Tian shouted.

"Look at your palms."

Jin Tian looked at his palms; there were two thin cuts on each hand, which he had accidentally made from fishing line.

“I…I really have nothing to do with it…If that old man hadn’t suddenly stopped below, the falling sign wouldn’t have hit him at all,” Jin Tian shouted.

Kaneda Duko laughed heartily, "Great! Now all the family fortune is mine. As expected of the famous Kogoro Mouri, he found the real culprit so quickly. I will definitely pay you a large sum of money and ask you to be a witness in court. I will make sure this bastard rots in jail. Hahaha!"

Kinda was born and shed tears of regret.

If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

Ida Byakuya quietly raised her hand: "Does that mean my charges have been dropped?"

"Don't be too happy yet. Knowing that the other person is allergic to peanuts, you still planned to kill them with peanuts. This already constitutes intentional assault," Kogoro Mouri said.

Let it be intentional injury; it's still better than being charged with murder.

Thank goodness that the old bastard has a stupid son, otherwise I would have been charged with murder.

"Ouch! Why does my neck feel sore?" Kogoro Mouri woke up at that moment.

"Truly worthy of the famous Sleeping Kogoro, you've truly broadened our horizons." The waiter looked at him with admiration: "Could I have an autograph?"

Kogoro Mouri didn't know what had happened, but it seemed the case had been inexplicably solved. I'm so amazing!

Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes from behind the sofa.

A normal person would have noticed after being pricked so many times, right?

You've never had any doubts until now?

Are you faking it or are you genuinely stupid?

"Clap clap clap!" Yamabuki Hana had finished eating the melon and was clapping with a smile on her face.

"Thank you so much, Great Detective, for giving us such a wonderful deduction. But I feel there's a slight flaw in this deduction. Would you all like to hear my reasoning?" asked Yamabuki Hanajin.

"Flaw? You're not saying this murder was an accident, are you? The suspect has been caught, and the suspect has confessed to the crime," Conan retorted from the side.

Yamabuki Hanakami reached out and gently touched the real fox fur scarf around her neck.

Who would have thought this case was supernatural rather than a mystery?

"Now for my reasoning! Please listen carefully."

Chapter 93: Fictional Deduction, Beginning

“Detective Mori’s reasoning was indeed correct, but that was only part of the truth,” Yamabuki Hanajin began to tell her story.

"It all started two years ago. Two years ago, President Kaneda made a fortune and suddenly became rich. You all know about this, right?"

The truth is that Kaneda made a deal with the fox spirit, asking it to make him rich.

“Of course I know about this,” Kaneda nodded.

"But precisely because of this, Kaneda became lazy and wanted to squander the money his father had. But Kaneda was very unwilling, and a conflict arose between the father and son."

"During these two years, Ms. Kaneda Duko married the president, probably for that money, right? Once your husband dies, you can rightfully inherit a large sum of money."

Kaneda Jeko looked terrified: "Don't talk nonsense, we are truly in love."

“Yes, yes, it’s true love. If you and President Kaneda were truly in love, you wouldn’t have put slow-acting poison in his food.” Yamabuki Hanajin stared coldly at the young woman in front of her.

The pupils of both detectives, Kogoro Mouri and Conan, contracted.

Chronic poison?

"I'm warning you! Don't talk nonsense! I have a lot of money, believe me or not I'll sue you for defamation." Kinda Duko jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end, pointing at Yamabuki Hanajin's nose and cursing loudly.

"Your Highness, she dared to be disrespectful to you. Should I kill her too?" the fox whispered.

"No need, she can't keep jumping around for long."

"Ahem. It's no use denying this now. The police will be here tomorrow, and the truth will come out as soon as they take the body for an autopsy. Aren't you all wondering? Allergies can cause difficulty breathing, red or purple patches on the skin, and so on. But think back carefully, wasn't President Kaneda clutching his chest the last thing he did before he died? It looked like a heart attack. Actually, Ms. Kaneda Jeko had been slowly poisoning her husband since they got married. And the symptom of the poisoning was heart failure. She probably didn't even expect the poison to take effect at this time."

Kaneda Jeko's face turned pale.

So it's no wonder that the president is in the highest position; everyone around him wants him dead.

"So the truth is this: Upon arriving at the hotel, Kaneda Jeko, Kaneda Shoten, and Ida Shiraka each carried out their own murder plans. Kaneda Jeko had been slowly poisoning her husband, Kaneda Shoten, impatient, planned to use a fishing line as a trap to smash his father to death with the hotel sign. Ida Shiraka planned to exploit Kaneda's peanut allergy by putting peanut butter in his soup. No matter which plan succeeded, Kaneda was doomed. But…"

Yamabuki Hanakami paused abruptly at this point.

"But... all three plans failed."

Conan didn't understand.

"Didn't you already investigate the hotel sign? There were indeed signs of vandalism. You even found fishing line at the crime scene!" Conan asked.

“That’s right. But Kindaichi himself is not only a beast, but also an idiot. He managed to ruin such a perfect plan.” Yamabuki Hanajin handed his hand to Ran: “If you still don’t understand, let’s all come up to the third floor with me.”

Everyone went up to the third floor together.

"This is the room where Kaneda was born. The hotel sign is right outside the window. I think he used yesterday's wind and rain to cover up the sound of vandalizing the hotel sign. Do you remember how many words fell down when President Kaneda died?"

"Three."

Conan answered.

"That's right, there were definitely three. The hotel's name is Lonely Island Hotel, and the sign had four characters in total. Now only the character 'hotel' is still there; the other three have fallen off. Is that right?"

Kogoro Mouri was completely bewildered: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"So you still remember the order in which these three words fell. First, the word 'isolated island' fell from mid-air, but it didn't hit the president. Finally, the third word, 'alcohol,' fell from mid-air and hit the president right on the forehead."

Conan suddenly realized something and immediately went to check the screws on the sign.
