Everyone went to a karaoke bar not far away to sing, but they did not know that a fire would break out three hours later. They didn't even know that their president would be sent to prison the next day, no, to be exact, today.
Although everyone invited Conan to sing with them, Conan knew what his voice was like, so he refused. Genji Masayoshi did not accept their invitation either. He just sat on the sofa and listened to them sing. Xiao Lan was the least in the mood to sing.
Seeing the extremely depressed Xiao Lan, Yuan Zi said,""What's wrong, Xiaolan? Why are you so depressed?" "No, I'm not unhappy." Xiao Lan forced a smile.”Yuan Zi had a flash of inspiration. Of course, she knew the reason behind it. Yuan Zi could be considered a semi-expert when it came to matters like love. She closed her eyes and pretended to be mysterious. Not only was she considerate, but everyone also liked her. In addition, no matter what he did, he was at the top. Are you thinking about Asami-senpai?”
"Yuanzi, what's wrong?" Xiaolan blushed.”"Because it's written all over your face," said Yuan Zi with a smile. It was as if he was saying that he was really inferior to her. It was not unreasonable for Xin Yi to like her because she used to be the administrator of the football club.”Xiao Lan lowered her head and pondered. Yuan Zi immediately advised,"But don't take it to heart. Anyway, she has already dumped Shinichi. Aren't you two childhood sweethearts?”"Yuanzi, do you know?" Xiaolan lowered her head. Shinichi's favorite dish is lemon pie. I only found out about it today after hearing from Asami-senpai.”
"Xiaolan, you can't just judge things by their appearances!”Yuan Zhengmian said as he sat down beside Lan with a glass of wine in his hand. "What's the meaning of this?" Yuan Zi asked as she lay on the sofa.”"Take a whiff, what is this?" Yuan Zhengmian asked as he looked at the wine cup.”Minamoto Masayoshi swirled the wine glass in front of their noses, and the two said at the same time,""Japanese sake." "It's just a little sake mixed with plain water." Yuan Zhengmian shook his head.”"Is that so?" Yuan Zi asked. But it looked and smelled like it.”
"It's just on the surface. Although Uchida-san is very outstanding, it's only on the surface." Do you really understand her inside?”The two of them looked at Genji Masayoshi in confusion. Genji Masayoshi said,"Take you, Xiaolan, for example. You usually look like a very gentle high school girl. You know how to cook and do housework. Who could tell that you're a very muscular karate expert? Another example would be Yuan Zi. No one would be able to tell that she was the daughter of a wealthy family, right?”Yuan Zi pouted." Brother Yuan, what do you mean by this?”Xiao Lan smiled.
"So you can't just look at the surface. Even though Uchida-san said that Kudo confessed to her, it couldn't be confirmed without the other party's acknowledgment, right?”Gen Masayoshi continued. "But everyone said so at the time!" Yuan Zi said.”"Three people make a tiger," said Yuan Zheng."The more people say it, the more lies become the truth." Perhaps Uchida-san injured Kudo on purpose?”The two of them were clearly surprised by what Minamoto Masayoshi said. "That's impossible, right?" Lan asked. Why did Asami-senpai do this?”"Because she likes Kudo!" She wants to use this to save Kudo." "Brother Yuan, this is just your guess, right?" Yuan Zi asked. I don't think Asami-senpai would do such a thing.”
Minamoto Masayoshi smiled and did not answer. At this moment, Sawai Masayoshi suddenly saw that the villa opposite was on fire. Everyone was shocked, but Minamoto Masayoshi did not seem to care. Everyone immediately left the bar and drove to their rented villa.
When they arrived at the villa that was on fire, everyone shouted," Asami! What should we do? She didn't seem to have taken refuge outside.”Tomoko Hayasaka said. "Is she still sleeping inside?" Senben asked in shock.”"Should we call her to wake her up?" Miyazaki asked.”"It's too late," said Sawai."The fire has already reached there.”After hearing this, Yuan Masayoshi rushed into the fire. He cursed in a low voice," Seriously, I still have to save Kudo's woman. This is really unreasonable!"”
When she arrived at the door, she realized that it was locked. Thus, Minamoto Masayoshi punched through the door with a single punch. Xiaolan and Sawai Masayoshi, who arrived shortly after, were shocked. Ever since Conan witnessed the ability of Minamoto Masahiro's Flying Dagger, he was no longer surprised. After opening the door, Minamoto Masayoshi immediately carried Asami Uchida out. Other than the burned part of his coat, there was no other damage. As soon as she got out of the fire, Xiao Lan fainted. "I was the one who saved him, why did you faint?"”
The next day, Yuan Masayoshi returned to the fire. Although he knew the murderer and the method, he still had to gather the necessary evidence. "The fire started at 2:50?”Yuan Zhengmian asked the firefighter, and the firefighter introduced,""Yes, because the people nearby saw the smoke coming from here, they thought it was a campfire and didn't pay attention.”
"Is there any sign of arson?" Conan asked.”"No, I think the cause of the fire was the candles on the cake," the firefighter said. I think they must have forgotten to blow out the candles. The candles fell to the ground and the gift paper burned. Finally, the curtains were burned.”"Who was in charge of blowing out the cake yesterday…" Before he could finish his sentence, Sawai Masayoshi asked Hayasaka Tomoko angrily,"Who was in charge of blowing out the cake yesterday?""Why didn't you put out the candle?”
Hayasaka Tomoko was also very angry. She was afraid that she would be slandered, so she retorted angrily,"Don't talk nonsense. I clearly extinguished the candles yesterday.”Noguchi saw that the two of them were going to continue arguing, so he tried to mediate,"Stop arguing. Everyone is in a panic when they go out.”"I said I put it out, don't you understand?"”"However, we found that the candles had burned to the bottom."”
Not listening to their discussion, Minamoto Masayoshi secretly took the dirty paper from the firemen according to his memory and went to the convenience store next to the karaoke shop to do some research. After obtaining the evidence, he asked the firefighters to prepare a room for the mystery show.
Seeing that Gen Masayoshi had come to the fire with confidence, Conan asked,""Do you know something?" "Yes, everything is clear, including the murderer, the evidence, and the method."”"Tell me, who is the murderer?"”"You mean you can reason in front of your first love and be a hero?"”Conan said," Don't be such a bitch. I'm telling you the truth. Besides, she's not my first love at all." Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then forget it.”"I'm sorry. Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk."”Therefore, Minamoto Masayoshi gave some clues to Conan. For Conan, as long as there were some clues, he would know who the murderer was.
After listening to the clue, Conan's glasses flashed.""Then the murderer is that person!”Then, he looked at Genji Masayoshi suspiciously."Did you know that this case would happen?”Gen Masayoshi did not seem surprised because he was Kudo Shinichi! "No, no." If I had known that the case would happen, wouldn't I have stopped it?”"Is that so?" Conan looked at Minamoto Masayoshi in disbelief. He could not figure out Yuan Masayoshi at all. He was a good person, but he often failed to find the murderer. It was wrong to say that he was a bad person. Moreover, there seemed to be many secrets hidden behind this person. Although the feeling had disappeared, every time at a certain time, he would still show a terrifying aura that was as powerful as that of the black-clothed man Gin.
Just as Minamoto Masayoshi and Conan were talking, Xiaolan and Sonoko said that Asami had disappeared. Thus, he gathered everyone and said,""The reason why I called you here is because I want to uncover the truth of this attempted murder case.”
"Murder case? Isn't this an accident?" Sawai learned. "No, someone did set the fire on purpose," said Yuan Zheng. Moreover, the murderer is among the members who went to the bar to drink.”As expected of the members of the Reasoning Research Society, these people spoke one after another. "If it was one of us, it would take 15 minutes to walk from the karaoke shop to the villa.”Sawai Masayoshi said. "If you drive or ride a motorcycle, it'll only take five minutes," Tomoko Hayasaka said.”"But no one touched the car," Miyazaki and Noguchi said.”"If there's a time limit ignition device, then that's another matter." But if there was, the firefighters would have noticed it, right?”
"The time-limited ignition device you mentioned does exist, but it's not the kind of device we usually see. What he used was just a simple method. I'll show you how the murderer activated the device from a few kilometers away.”Yuan Zheng encouraged.
At this time, the firefighters said that the room had been decorated. "Since the firefighters have prepared everything, please follow me."”As soon as he entered the room, Sen Ben praised,"Amazing. This is indeed similar to the room where the fire broke out.”"I even prepared a fax machine," Hayasaka said.”"But what's going on?" Miyazaki asked.”
At this moment, a firefighter brought over a small cake with candles and placed it on the stool under the fax machine. Everyone was puzzled. Genmasamori deduced,""This is the cake I just bought. I'm going to recreate the situation at that time. First of all, I found that the furniture had been moved at the scene of the fire. At first, Uchida-san was lying on the sofa, but when I found her, she was lying on the floor, so someone must have moved her position. Alright, I'll explain later. Let's restore the technique first."
Then, Minamoto Masayoshi made a call to the convenience store. The phone suddenly rang. Then, a fax was sent. The paper slowly fell and burned when it came into contact with the candle. The firefighters immediately extinguished the flames with fire extinguishing agents.
"This is the technique. Do you understand now?”" I asked the owner of the convenience store next to the karaoke shop to send the fax," Gensei said. The murderer also used this method to borrow the convenience store's fax machine.”"Who would use such a simple method to kill?" Noguchi asked.”
"Although the method is simple, compared to some unique and complicated methods, this simple method is very difficult to find flaws. Using this method, we can destroy all the evidence, right, Mr. Sawai?”Minamoto Masayoshi looked coldly at Sawai Masayoshi.
Everyone was shocked and did not believe that it was Sawai Manabu. "But our president rushed into the fire today. If he wanted to kill her, why did he save her?" Miyazaki asked. And the first person who discovered the fire in the villa was the president!”"I didn't say he wanted to kill Uchida-san, did I?" Sawai Masayoshi had designed this fire to save Uchida-san. To put it simply, he wanted to be a hero saving a damsel in distress. After Mr. Sawai put sleeping pills in Uchida-san's cup to make her fall asleep, he took advantage of the time when everyone was preparing to sing karaoke to finish everything in the living room. In order to prevent Uchida from being burned by the fire, he carried her to the floor, away from the furniture. When we went to sing, he sent a fax to the villa and set it on fire. The owner of the convenience store could testify to this. Also, I found the leftover piece of paper that Mr. Sawai left behind.”
As he spoke, Minamoto Masayoshi held up two pieces of the paper and gestured,""The fact that these two pieces of paper can't be put together proves that they are two different faxes. But before the fire, only your professor's faxes were sent. How do you explain this, Mr. Sawai?”" I did use a fax at the convenience store tonight," Masayuki Sawai immediately defended himself." But the fax was for my friend." He asked me to come up with a good name for his latest novel.”
"You're unrepentant! I'm already giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf. Are you still not going to admit it?”A powerful aura immediately emanated from Genshi Masayoshi's body, causing everyone present to not dare to speak. Minamoto Masayoshi retracted his aura and continued,"What's written on the receipt? It's the receipt that I received after faxing it. There should be phone number, date, time, and other information on the receipt, right? Of course, your fingerprints." Sawai Manabu regained his composure and took out his notebook.""I clearly sent it over. I remembered the villa's number and my friend's number together, so I think I must have dialed the wrong number. Besides, I'm the director of the Dongdu University's Deduction Research Club. Why would I use such a method that I don't know if it'll work?”
"What president of Dongdu University? He's a pig's brain!”Of course, this was what he said in his heart. "That's why you've photocopied it, right?" When you were preparing everything in the living room, you used the photocopying function of the fax machine to make sure that the candle could really be lit. We all know that if you want to use the photocopier, you need to put the documents on it, so you took the fax sent by Professor Takamura and photocopied it. And you faxed it here from the convenience store using that photocopied thermal paper. But you didn't notice that the thermal paper was stained with the cream of the cake when you were photocopying, so the convenience store owner complained to me that you stuffed the sticky paper into the fax machine. And he also reminded you that the paper was placed in the opposite direction, which was of course, because you couldn't send the contents on the back. If the paper wasn't burned out, it would be discovered that there were two identical faxes at the scene of the fire, which might arouse suspicion.”
"Are you done?" Sawai Manabu flew into a rage. Before he could finish his sentence, he felt the devilish killing intent from Genji Masayoshi. With a loud thud, his knee slammed heavily on the floor. Genji Masayoshi coldly said,"I hate it when people interrupt me when I'm deducing. For this reason, I don't mind making this person suffer from schizophrenia!”Tears of fear fell on the floor. Everyone was surprised, but they were more confused. Conan thought to himself, This guy is really perverted!”
" I know you want to talk about evidence," Yuan Masayoshi retracted his killing intent." I'm telling you, the evidence is on you. It's that piece of paper." You probably didn't throw it away because you were afraid that someone would pick it up, right?”Masayuki Sawai recovered from his fear and took out the fax paper." I should have thrown this away.”
Sawai Masayoshi confessed. He no longer asked how he knew it was him like in the original novel. After being attacked twice by the terrifying aura of Minamoto Masayoshi, he was completely afraid. He told her about the rejection of his confession and said,"I just wanted to start a small fire.”"It doesn't matter. You're really an idiot to commit a crime for a woman!"”At this moment, Asami walked over, and Sawai Manabu became stubborn.""I think anyone would fall at her feet if she said a word.”Gen Masayoshi smiled and whispered to himself,""I would never do that. Women are animals, hehe!”This sentence was only heard by Asami Uchida and Conan, who were in front of him.
