Conan was duly puzzled at this time and said:

"Even if he runs, it's hard for him to save much time, so what can he do to use that little time?"

"It's simple because we were misled into thinking he actually parked his car in the parking lot!"

In this regard, Gao Yuan seriously stated the core of the conspiracy——

"ah?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan, Yuanzi and other insiders present could not help but express surprise and doubt at Gao Yuan's statement, while Gao Yuan continued to explain:

"A simple explanation may be a bit difficult to understand, so let me briefly summarize what happened..."

With that said, Gao Yuan began to describe the logic of the events in chronological order:

"First of all, it was around six o'clock in the evening when you followed Masahiko Michowaki to the open-air restaurant of this hotel for dinner. At that time, Masahiko Michowaki did not park his car in the parking lot, but parked directly outside the hotel in a temporary parking lot.

At the parking spot - and this, bringing you here for dinner, was the most critical step when he killed the female victim Chiharu Orimoto.

"Chiharu Orimoto also lived in this Izu Princess Hotel. At that time, taking advantage of the break of eating, Masahiko Michowaki must have disguised himself as a hotel staff, knocked on Chiharu Orimoto's door, and passed out with anesthetics

Chiharu Orimoto took the unconscious Chiharu Orimoto out of the hotel on a cart and put her into the trunk of his car that was parked outside the hotel at the time!"

"What! You mean...the deceased was..."

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Yuanzi suddenly showed expressions of horror and disbelief, while Conan frowned seriously——

"Yes, the deceased was transported from the hotel to the fireworks display in that car just like you."

Gao Yuan continued:

"After dropping you off at the entrance of the fireworks display venue, Michiowaki Masahiko said he was going to park the car in a nearby parking lot, but in fact he just parked the car next to the road next to the woods. Therefore, from

It didn't take more than a few minutes to get to the fireworks display venue, so he took advantage of that time to buy a piece of takoyaki in advance——

"Since it was still early for the fireworks display, there were not many people at the venue, so he was able to buy takoyaki quickly and put the takoyaki he bought back in the car before returning.

Join you, so in the end it took him about ten minutes."

Hearing this, Xiaolan and others' expressions suddenly became shocked, and after hearing this, Conan finally understood what happened next -

"After that, if Masahiko Michowaki finds an opportunity to separate from you again on the pretext of buying takoyaki, he can take the opportunity to return to the car parked next to the woods and heat the takoyaki with the connected electrical appliances in the car.

, then took the deceased out of the car, put on the clothes that had been prepared to prevent blood stains on her body, and killed her in the woods. In the end, she only needed to put the blood-stained clothes and the murder weapon back into the car, and take away the heated

Takoyaki, I can come back and join you again."

Gao Yuan explained.

"But...but..."

But Xiaolan still felt puzzled by this explanation:

"In that case, why did Mr. Michowaki's car end up in the parking lot? How did he park the car near the woods in the parking lot?"

"If he had driven to the parking lot after committing the crime and disposed of the evidence, he would not have been able to come back within more than ten minutes, so this situation is impossible."

Regarding Xiaolan's analysis, Gao Yuan also said the same thing, which made Xiaolan and others confused.

But what Gao Yuan said next was even more surprising:

"Therefore, what Masahiko Michowaki did was actually after committing the crime, he started the engine of the car, put down the handbrake, let the car follow the slope of the road, and drove into the sea by himself, so that he could perfectly process the evidence used.

Fallen! And the car parked in the parking lot was parked there by him a long time ago!"

"What!"

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but be surprised——

The cost of letting one car fall into the sea and preparing another car in advance...

"Steal a car?"

But at this time, Xiao Ai had already noticed the crux of the problem.

"Yes. It seems like a high price to pay to destroy one of your own cars in order to commit a crime, but for Masahiko Michowaki, it is not a price at all. Because he has a history of stealing cars, he can steal cars in advance.

By stealing several cars of the same model and replacing them with fake license plates with the same numbers, you can successfully complete this trick."

Gao Yuan replied:

"It was quite a distance from the slope of the road to the cliff near the sea. It was impossible for the police to think that the murderer would dispose of the body in this way. At that time, because the fireworks for the fireworks display were about to be set off, and the place was far away from the place to watch the fireworks,

So no one even noticed that the car crashed into the sea."

Hearing this, everyone's shocked emotions could not calm down for a long time, and with the emergence of this clue, Conan immediately clarified the truth behind the incident of Ehara Tokio falling from the building——

"After that, there was the incident of Ehara Tokio falling from the building..."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but slow down as he spoke, and said lightly as if he was helpless:

"Actually, after knowing that Masahiko Michowaki could prepare an identical car in advance, Tokio Ehara's alibi for the last time when Tokio Ehara fell from the building was easily cracked——

"He said he was going to park his car, but in fact he parked his car directly outside the hotel. The car in the parking lot near the beach seemed to be his car, but in fact he had parked it there a long time ago.

"At about 11 o'clock at that time, he parked the car directly outside the hotel, and after taking off the fake license plate affixed to the license plate, he returned to the hotel, went to the deceased Chiharu Orimoto's room, and used the deceased's key to open the door

I left the room and prepared to get rid of some things...

"Then, unexpectedly, he saw Ehara Tokio also come to Orimoto Chiharu's room..."

"What? Why is that?"

Hearing this, several people who participated in the "Mysterious Journey" couldn't help but feel curious and began to ask questions.

"Because, Chiharu Orimoto and Tokio Ehara are both hackers who came here for the 'Baron of the Night', and they had contacted each other online beforehand."

Gao Yuan explained:

"The police investigated the portable computers of Chiharu Orimoto and Tokio Ewara and found evidence that the two had secret contacts. Moreover, through those records, the police learned that Tokio Ehara promised to Chiharu Orimoto if the person involved was found.

It's evidence of the 'Night Baron', so go directly to her room to discuss countermeasures.

"Therefore, I think Ehara Tokio found the 'Night Baron' clothes in someone's room. He thought this was enough to prove who the organizer of the event was the 'Night Baron', so he put on those clothes.

, arrived at the agreed upon room, but unexpectedly bumped into Michioki Masahiko who was secretly looking for something in Orimoto Chiharu's room, so Michiowaki Masahiko pushed Ehara Tokio downstairs in order to silence him."

With that said, Takato then told the story of the police officer falling into the sea that happened the night before, as well as the alleged incident of the policeman falling into the sea in Chiharu Orimoto's photo, indicating the murder motive of Masahiko Michowaki——

"Therefore, when Masahiko Michowaki pushed the policeman into the sea, he probably noticed that the flash of the camera was photographing his side, so in order to kill him and destroy the photos, he found the man who was carrying the camera at the fireworks display the day before yesterday.

Chiharu Orimoto planned this murder, and he even went to Sonoko specifically to ask you to prove his alibi for him. At the same time..."

As he spoke, Gao Yuan said seriously:

"He probably also planned to kill Yuanzi in the end...because of the fireworks display the day before yesterday, Yuanzi must have had a camera in his hand, right?"

——This is what I learned from Kyogoku Mana. Sonoko has always carried a camera with her since she came to Izu, and Sonoko and the others also participated in the fireworks display the day before yesterday.

Therefore, it is thought that Michowaki Masahiko used the camera as a clue to identify Sonoko and Orimoto Chiharu.

Moreover, whether it was luck or misfortune, both of them had brown hair, which made Masahiko Michowaki, who specialized in killing brown-haired women, inevitably have the desire to kill...

According to what Kyogoku really saw, because Chiharu Orimoto was not easy to strike up a conversation with, Masahiko Michowaki's attempt to strike up a conversation with Chiharu Orimoto ended up being completely unhappy.

So later on, Masahiko Michowaki probably found out where Orimoto Chiharu lived in Izu, and then he tried to find a way to strike up a conversation with Sonoko, and at the same time he thought of a way to kill Orimoto Chiharu.

Unexpectedly, Tokio Ehara was unlucky enough to be involved in this incident, and was silenced by Masahiko Michowaki...

At this point, the trip to Izu has basically come to an end. Regarding the identity of the "Night Baron" that the participants of the "Mysterious Journey" were most concerned about, Akiko Sayama finally confessed to everyone.

However, because the "Night Baron" virus turned out to be in vain in the end, everyone who came for the virus still couldn't help but feel helpless...
