"Ah?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Kisaragi Minemi at the same time.

Kisaragi Minemi had a gloomy face and snorted coldly: "You said that I am the murderer, what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? Of course," Youya smiled, "If I wasn't absolutely sure, I wouldn't be standing here."

Inspector Megure was stunned. He always felt that his brother solved the case too quickly today. Although he was also very fast in the past, today... he seemed a little anxious?

Youya explained slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, the pearl necklace that Miss Mio wears was given to her by you, right?"

Kisaragi Minemi was silent for a while, and finally nodded. Such things can be found out by checking, and there is no point in him hiding it.

"That's easy.

You design the necklace you give to Miss Mio so that it will fall apart at the touch of a finger. Then, after the lights go down, hook the piano wire on another necklace you prepared, walk behind Miss Mio, and loosen the one she is wearing."

"As long as you say something like 'I'll fix it for you' to her when she is panicking, you can smoothly put the necklace hooked on the piano wire on her."

"That's why Miss Mio didn't notice that the necklace was hooked on the piano wire. She wore the necklace with the wire hooked from the beginning, not the necklace hooked on the piano wire."

"Next, you just need to wait for the curtain to open, and the piano wire will pull Miss Mio into the air and hang her."

After Yuya's narration, everyone understood the murderer's method.

"So, what about the replaced necklace? As long as the necklace is found, it can be used as decisive evidence, right?" Inspector Megure asked hurriedly.

Yuya nodded, his eyes fell on Kisaragi Minemizu's cane: "From the incident to now, Kisaragi has never left the stage, so he has no time to discard the necklace, and he is wearing a traditional kimono without pockets or other places to put scattered necklaces..."

"Only the cane!"

Everyone subconsciously looked at the cane.

Kisaragi Minemizu snorted coldly, picked up the cane, twisted it on the head a few times, took off the lid, and then turned the cane over. With a crackling sound, several pearls fell to the ground and rolled everywhere.

Inspector Megure quickly ordered the police to collect the pearls.

"You are worthy of being the famous detective Kamiya Yuya. I underestimated you." Kisaragi Minemizu sighed, and then looked at Maori Kogoro with sarcasm, "But you, the 'sleeping Kogoro', are not as good as a young man."

The corner of Maori Kogoro's mouth twitched violently, but he was unable to argue.

"But, brother Kamiya, how do you explain the small wine glass at the victim's feet? Isn't this a serial murder case?"

Inspector Megure looked at Yuya in confusion.

Yuya nodded: "Yes and no. He also killed Oki Iwamatsu at the beginning. Remember the strange bloodstains on the photo? He should have visited Oki Iwamatsu under the pretext of giving him a painting, so that he would lose his guard and then kill him."

"As for the painting, one night is enough for him to deal with it."

Inspector Megure asked another question: "But, what about Mr. Hara? When Mr. Hara was killed, he had a clear alibi."

Yuya was silent for a while, and said slowly: "That's because someone else killed Hara Yoshiaki."

Inspector Megure was shocked: "What did you say? Who is it?"

Yuya shook his head: "With the clues I have now, I don't know who killed Hara Yoshiaki."

"When I was at the scene, I found that the small wine glass there was not stained with blood, which means that the small wine glass was put there later I'm afraid that when Mr. Kisaragi arrived at the scene, he found that Hara Jiaming had been killed. "

"As for the serial murder case, as long as one of the cases has a clear alibi, he will not be suspected, so he put down a small wine glass that was split into two next to Hara Jiaming."

"The one at Miss Mio's feet is also there. As for why it is not split into two, it is because Miss Mio is her final target. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is put down or not."

Kisaragi Fengshui closed his eyes and sighed: "It's true that heroes emerge from youth. I even doubt whether you have been following me and seeing everything I do."

Yuya smiled: "No matter what kind of case it is, as long as it is man-made, there will be clues left, and it is the job of the detective to restore the situation of the case based on these clues."

Kisaragi Fengshui sighed deeply.

"Then what about the motive? What is the motive for the murder?" Inspector Megure asked.

Yuya glanced at the painting of Mount Fuji hanging on the stage. Just as he was about to speak, a violent explosion suddenly sounded, and the whole building shook a few times. Then,The lights in the venue all dimmed.

"What happened?"

Fengjian Yingyan quickly called the security room and was shocked to learn that the basement power generation room and the main computer room on the 40th floor had exploded, and a fire broke out inside the 40th floor.

"Let's talk about the case later, evacuate now!" Inspector Megure said decisively.

"If the power generation room and the motor room explode, then even the backup power supply can't be used, right?" Shiratori Renzaburo said solemnly.

Inspector Megure frowned: "In this case, the fire elevator can't be used, right?"

Fengjian Yingyan said: "The sightseeing elevator may be usable, it is for VIPs, and the power supply is independent."

Shiratori Renzaburo hurried to the sightseeing elevator and pressed the button. The elevator door opened in everyone's expectation, and the light shone from inside and reflected on everyone's faces.

Everyone immediately smiled with joy.

"How many people are there?" Inspector Megure asked.

"9 people!"

Shiratori Renzaburo looked at the remaining personnel. Although some of them had been evacuated in advance, there were still nearly 20 people left.

If everyone took the elevator, they would need to go back and forth twice, and it might not be possible to send everyone away before the fire on the 40th floor burned up.

"Are there other evacuation routes?" Shiratori Renzaburo asked anxiously.

Fengjian Yingyan, who was familiar with the building structure, hurriedly said: "Take the fire escape stairs from here to the 60th floor, and you can go to the next building through the corridor bridge. This way it will be safe."

Inspector Megure immediately said: "The elderly, women and children take the elevator down, and the rest take the fire escape stairs. Act now!"

Although the situation was urgent, under the strong command of Inspector Megure, everyone did not panic too much and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

Although they said they were elderly and children, in fact, there was only an old man, Kisaragi Minemi, and a child, Conan, at the scene, and the rest were mainly women.

Even Mao Lilan and Miyano Shiho had gone downstairs. This was something Yuya specifically asked Takagi Wataru to do.

However, there were still more than 9 people, and by the time Conan got on, the elevator was already overweight.

There was no choice but to wait for the next one.

The elevator started to move down.

At the venue, Megure said to everyone: "Then the remaining ladies, Conan, and Mr. Kisaragi, please take the next elevator. Shiratori, you..."

Kisaragi Minemizu said: "I'll go down the stairs!"

"But..." Inspector Megure looked at Kisaragi Minemizu's crutches and hesitated to speak.

"Don't treat me like an old man!" Kisaragi Minemizu tapped his crutches and shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay." Megure had no choice but to say to Kazama Hidehiko, "Then Mr. Kazama, please lead the way."

Kazara Hidehiko nodded and said to the men who had been waiting quietly: "I will lead the way. Everyone follow me and don't fall behind." He ran to the front with a flashlight, and the others followed behind in turn.

"Shiratori, Takagi, and Chiba, you go ahead. I'll follow you later. Shiratori, please keep an eye on Teacher Kisaragi." Megure said to Shiratori and the others. He had to stay and watch the remaining women and children get on the elevator before he could leave.

Several people nodded and followed them.

The people who were in a hurry to take refuge did not notice that the high school detective named Kamiya Yuya had disappeared without a trace.
