Inside the guest room, listening to Ryusuke Soma's words, everyone was "uh", and there was a black line in their heads-

Well, it's really a good thing for Ryusuke Soma to bow down and confess, but this case is solved......

Why do you always feel weird in your heart?

Speaking of which, no matter how you look at it, Ryusuke Soma was so frightened by Fukuda Haru that he confessed his guilt? If this case really wants to be talked about, wouldn't it have become Fukuda Haruki's crack?

Everyone complained in their hearts, and Officer Twilight coughed lightly first, and then began to ask routinely:

“…… Mr. Soma, have you pleaded guilty, but why did you kill Mr. Takura Itakura?"

Soma Ryusuke was stunned for a moment before he replied, "That's because ...... Because Takura Itakura, he gave up our original dream and agreement!"

"The original dream and the promise?"

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, but Soma Ryusuke nodded slightly and continued, "That's right, that's because of this! Actually, Takura and I are quite good friends. My first acquaintance with him was at a chess award meeting twenty years ago. At that time, I was just a small employee in a game company, and Itakura was just an unknown game designer, and we had a great conversation because we both loved chess, and then we agreed that we would work together to design a chess game that would beat all the chess masters......"

“…… Because of this common goal, I have been collecting chess games for all these years and borrowing a lot of money for this game, but when I approached him and asked him when he would be able to design the game, he asked me with a nonchalant face, 'Soma, how long do you think a person should wait?'...... This guy, he simply forgot about our common dream!"

Ryusuke Soma babbled about his motive for killing, and Officer Twilight frowned and asked, "...... So you're going to kill him? but...... How did you find here?"

"Well...... Soma Ryusuke was slightly stunned, and was about to answer, but Conan was already next to him and whispered: "I think he should have used the same method as Uncle Maori!"

Conan said, his tone paused slightly, and then continued to explain: "Uncle Maori, do you remember what the waitress at the front desk of the Rice Flower Hotel said when you called the Rice Flower Hotel before? When you were about to hang up the phone, the waitress said, 'Itakura-san again, he's here again' - this means that before you, someone called the front desk of the Rice Flower Hotel in the same way and asked for Mr. Itakura's room number!~"

When Conan's words fell, Uncle Maori let out a "hmm", then pinched his chin and recalled, "...... Well, it seems to be true...... Could it be that person is Mr. Soma?"

"Of course, that person is me!"

Soma Ryusuke seemed to be afraid that someone would rob him, so he nodded directly: "...... I found it in the same way as you, and Takura Itakura was shocked when he saw me......"

"I see!" Officer Twilight figured out a doubt in his mind, and then continued, "What about ...... How did you kill Mr. Itakura?"

"Well...... I went into my room and chatted with Itakura for a while, and when I realized that Itakura had completely forgotten about our dreams, I went on to kill them. Ryusuke Soma continued, "...... The day I found him, which happened to be the 20th anniversary of our acquaintance, I said I wanted to celebrate, went outside the hotel to buy red wine and sleeping pills, stunned him, fixed him to a chair with a blanket and duct tape, and left the room......"

Ryusuke Soma stopped at this point, and Uncle Mori looked down at Takura Itakura's body and said, "I see, Mr. Itakura had a very serious heart attack, and after that, he died of a heart attack, and then you found time to go back to the guest room, untie Mr. Itakura's body, and pretend to die of a heart attack, right?"

"That's right!" Ryusuke Soma nodded, "But I really didn't expect that Lupin III would disguise himself as Taku Itakura......"

“…… That's why you had that surprised look when you saw Takura Itakura in Lupin III's disguise in the hall before, right?" Conan took over, "After all, a person who has already died suddenly 'comes back to life' will be frightened like that when he sees it......"

"Yes!" Soma Ryusuke nodded slightly, then smiled bitterly, "I wanted to frame Mr. Lupin just now, but there is no need for it now! As for the evidence, as President Fukuda said, it is my watch—my watch is now stained with Itakura's fingerprints......"

After Ryusuke Soma finished speaking, Officer Twilight frowned and asked, "Is the fingerprint on your watch proof?"

"Of course, that's ironclad evidence!" Conan interjected again, "Mr. Soma said that he bought this watch five days ago, and Mr. Itakura likes watches very much, but his eyes are not very good, so when he sees Itakura-sama's watch, he will definitely take it in his hand and admire it carefully...... Those fingerprints are the evidence that Mr. Soma once found here!"

When Conan said this, he suddenly felt that the expressions of the people around him were not quite right, and suddenly found that his performance was a little excessive, so he hurriedly laughed dryly, turned his head to look at Uncle Maori and said, "Isn't that right, Uncle Maori?"

"Uh...... That's right, that's it!" Uncle Maori nodded, then looked at the board and said, "But then again, does the chess pieces on this board really indicate that Mr. Soma is the murderer?

"I want to ...... I guess it's with my feet!" replied Kuroba Kaito, "...... The deceased had strangulation marks left by wearing socks on the left calf, but not on his right foot, but there were some scratches on the ankle of his right foot, which should be that the deceased himself managed to take off his socks, and then placed chess pieces with his toes, leaving evidence......"

"Well, I see!" Officer Twilight looked down at the deceased's ankle again, and Ryusuke Soma asked expectantly, "Mr. Policeman, can you arrest me now?" Also, in this situation, I will definitely go to jail, right?"

When Soma Ryusuke's words fell, Officer Twilight and Wataru Takagi all said "uh", and then Wataru Takagi scratched his head with a dry smile and said, "...... Since you have already pleaded guilty, you will definitely be arrested! As for the verdict, although you did not directly kill Mr. Itakura, you did have the subjective intention of intentional homicide and in fact caused Mr. Itakura's death, so the murder was established, but because you did not do it directly, and your attitude of admitting guilt was good, the sentence would be lighter, and you would probably be sentenced to about 15 years——"

"-Of course, this is just my estimate, and the specific situation depends on how the judge decides!~"
