Stay away from Conan

"There is no suspense..."

At this time, Gao Yuan, who was in the lounge, sighed in his heart after hearing Kudo Yusaku say these words——

If it were a few of them, Kudo Yusaku would be the first to uncover the truth...

Then, let’s see if Kudo Yusaku’s reasoning is consistent with the conclusion I came to after combining Kuroba Kaito’s views...

…

In this way, when everyone at the scene heard Kudo Yusaku say these words seriously, everyone was stunned.

Among them, Conan, who had investigated the coffin but had no idea yet, was surprised to hear these words——

"dad!"

With this thought in mind, he looked at the other person, and then seemed to realize something——

Could it be that those inquiries just now were just out of politeness to give Uncle Maori some time, but in fact Dad already knew the truth?

After all, after returning to the scene, my father did not conduct any re-inspections here. He just asked the stage manager about the magic process...

——"As expected of Yusaku! Please tell us quickly!"

Officer Megure said to Kudo Yusaku with a surprised look on his face, and then towards the frustrated Moori Kogoro, Officer Megure frowned slightly——

"As expected, I can't expect you to stay awake..."

"Please, teacher!"

In this regard, the reporters were even more surprised after hearing this. They took out their cameras or notebooks one after another, preparing to record this extremely rare scene for them——

The world-renowned mystery novelist's first realistic mystery.

In this way, Kudo Yusaku did not hesitate and began to reason:

“Then, let’s start with this trick——

"This prisoner talked about the mechanism that temporarily prevented Mr. Dongzhou Zhai from turning on the control button when he was in the coffin."

"But……"

Upon hearing this, Officer Megure said doubtfully:

"Didn't you just say that there are no other agencies? And if there were other agencies, they should have been discovered during the investigation, right? Afterwards, the control button could be opened normally."

"Because the control button could not be opened when Mr. Dongzhouzhai first entered the coffin, but by the time Mr. Dongzhouzhai was rescued from the fire, the control button had returned to normal."

Kudo Yusaku explained this.

"Ah? How is this possible?"

In this way, Officer Megure and others became even more puzzled.

"It's simple...because of the ice!"

Kudo Yusaku said with sharp eyes.

"ah?"

Conan was also shocked when he heard this. This was a train of thought that he had never expected, but...

If it's frozen...

"Being frozen? How can you do it?"

Xiaolan also asked doubtfully.

"How on earth can I freeze that button?"

Officer Megure couldn't imagine this situation at all.

So Kudo Yusaku gave the answer:

"Just use a mixture of dry ice and alcohol."

"Yes! There is also this trick!"

Suddenly, after hearing Kudo Yusaku's explanation, Conan already had an idea——

"After dry ice and alcohol are mixed, the temperature will drop extremely quickly to minus 117 degrees Celsius, forming a super-cold liquid. At such a temperature, things will freeze almost instantly."

In this way, Kudo Yusaku explained the principle.

However, Mouri Kogoro and Xiaolan were still a little confused about this and asked:

"But, in a performance with so many audiences, how to..."

"You can do it with a very thin rubber balloon."

With a serious expression, Kudo Yusaku continued:

"The prisoner put dry ice and alcohol into two balloons respectively, and then put them into the coffin before the performance started. Then after Mr. Toshusai entered and set the fire, before he unchained and pressed the button, the balloons would The first step was to crack due to heat, causing the dry ice and alcohol inside to mix in an instant, causing the control button to freeze immediately.

"Therefore, in such a fire, Mr. Dongzhou Zhai would be sealed in the coffin and unable to escape. In the end, he would die due to high temperature and lack of oxygen. Finally, when we extinguished the fire and opened the coffin, the dry ice and alcohol were already there. evaporated before.

"The evidence is that the balloon dissolved by high temperature will still remain. You should be able to detect some residue near Mr. Dongzhou Zhai's feet, and you can smell the odor after the rubber dissolves."

"Then...who would do such a horrific thing..."

Xiaolan asked in surprise when she heard such a technique.

"This method sounds simple, but it will actually be affected by the heat of the balloon, the temperature of the flame, etc. If the button thaws due to the temperature before the deceased dies, there is a possibility of failure, so if you want to implement it successfully This technique requires not only being able to make the coffin for magic and being proficient in its structure, but also someone who can simply put things into this prop, and even be able to conduct multiple experiments until the day the technique is finally successful... "

Saying this, Kudo Yusaku looked at the stage manager Mr. Yabuda:

"After successfully performing this magic dozens of times, I finally waited for the day when this technique was successful...Mr. Yabuda, the prisoner who can do this is you."

With a slightly serious expression, Kudo Yusaku gave the answer.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, both Mr. Yabuda and his son Yoshiyuki Yabada were startled, and Miss Toshusai was even more surprised to see this man who had worked with her father for many years, covering her mouth in disbelief.

"How is it possible...Dad?"

Yabada Yoshiyuki looked at his father and asked, unable to believe this.

"To make the temperature of dry ice drop extremely quickly, whiskey with a purity of 46% is usually not possible. You have to use alcohol with extremely high purity. The vodka Mr. Yabada drank has a purity of up to 96%. Only this kind of vodka can be used. Only wine can do it. And I also said that from a technical point of view, the only person who can do anything to the coffin in the past is Mr. Yabuda."

Kudo Yusaku said so.

In this regard, faced with such a situation, Miss Dongzhouzhai collapsed:

"Uncle? Is he really uncle?"

In this way, Miss Dongzhou Zhai cried and asked him.

But at this moment, it seems that as the method was revealed, Mr. Yabuda's expression changed from a drunken look to a cold one. He seemed to have no intention of making excuses and admitted directly:

"That's right, it's me. I have always been intimidated by that guy Dongzhou Zhai."

Speaking of this, Mr. Yabuda sighed, and then seemed to fall into memories:

"When Mingming was young, I toured with him to perform in various places to make a living. I did everything from setting up the stage to cleaning it up by myself. At night, I often drove to the performance venue without sleeping. The fatigue accumulated every day caused me to He dozed off while driving and hit a drunk man lying on the roadside, killing him on the spot.

"But at that time, I asked the guy from Dongzhouzhai to keep silent because I was afraid, but he said that he wanted me to promise everything he said from now on. So from then on, the days of hell began, and I kept thinking about it all the time. He kept all the magic ideas as his own...

"Originally, I should be the most popular, but he was jealous of my popularity, so he simply let me make plans behind the scenes and take all the credit...

"Now, the prosecution period for that matter has passed, but because my son has gradually become more popular, he still wants my son to step aside and threatens me to make the matter public. It is in the name of a murderer that he damages my son's reputation and future!

"So, for the sake of my son, I thought of using this magic to get rid of him!" ()
