On a quiet street.
Conan Edogawa and the others walked here. They could hear the sound of cicadas coming from the trees on both sides of the street.
Today was the day of Tachibana Tachibana's performance.
It was an important first performance as the head of the Tachibana family.
Conan and the others were all invited here.
Satsuki Itō didn't come. She was the first person to know this young man.
Naturally.
She was also the first to receive the invitation.
However, this was one of Japan's most famous Yin Yang Masters. She was too busy and couldn't leave.
However, her childhood sweetheart arrived on time.
Tachibana Tachibana was already very strong.
He was the one who could take over his grandfather, the national treasure master, Tachibana Aemon, as the head of the family.
After watching this show, Mauliland's eyes were red from crying.
It was for the sad story on the stage.
This was Tachibana Tachibana's most formal performance.
After it ended, a certain young master gave this performance a very high evaluation.
A very energetic girl helped Tachibana Tachibana carry Tachibana Tachibana.
Tachibana was very satisfied with his performance.
Tachibana Tachibana took over Tachibana.
Then, the man and mannequin started to communicate.
Tachibana Tachibana was awkward.
Even though Akizuki Yonzo had already helped him.
This mannequin only used a completely insincere tone to confirm his performance after changing the topic.
Tachibana Tachibana only revealed a very faint smile.
It looked like he couldn't do anything about Tachibana Tachibana.
The two of them … If they didn't know beforehand, they might have thought that Tachibana Tachibana had a soul.
This wasn't the first time Conan Edogawa had seen him.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Today, Ji De, the monster bandit, had also come.
Actually, Strange Bandit Kidd was the one who had come on behalf of Satsuki Itō.
The young master of the Atobe family and Tachibana Tachibana had known each other for a long time. Even though he always liked to argue with Tachibana Tachibana.
He still didn't need Satsuki Itō's connection to appear.
A certain young master had said that he was willing to come here.
The young thief blinked innocently when he saw the primary school detective's gaze. It seemed like he didn't know what the primary school detective was thinking.
The primary school detective did not continue.
This wasn't anything important.
He suddenly thought of it again.
At this moment, a shriek rang out.
As detectives, Conan Edogawa, the muddle-headed detective, and Robin Nakamori immediately ran over.
That location wasn't too far from here.
That was how they judged.
She was the actress in the puppet show that Tachibana had just performed.
She was responsible for controlling a few passers-by.
She had walked over here after she had finished her performance.
In the end, she pointed into the room … There was a corpse in the room.
In a pool of blood.
In fact, there was no need to confirm this.
Just like that, a certain muddle-headed detective still ran to the side of the corpse.
He confirmed that he was dead.
And this person was an old man.
When Tachibana, who was a little later than them, also came, his expression was full of sadness.
This old man was the owner of this theater.
He was a very good old man.
Close and gentle.
An old man who had helped him a lot.
He never thought that he would be suddenly killed.
At such a time when he should be very happy.
Just like that, something seemed to gradually appear in his eyes.
He wanted to help him find the murderer.
Youjin was the first person to see through Tachibana's thoughts.
After all, Tachibana was also a detective.
He had helped Tsutomu solve many incidents.
The time of death should have been during the time of their performance.
It had been some time since then.
The people performing definitely didn't have time to do this.
Although many people came to this performance, this place was not a place where ordinary people could come to smoothly.
Under Youjin's questioning, Tachibana analyzed all these for him.
And Conan happened to hear this.
When Conan Edogawa and the others arrived, it was already a little late.
They didn't see this old man.
In that case, when all of them left, they all saw this victim.
The first person to discover this was the first person to pass through this place after the incident ended.
There was a lock in the middle.
Because that was the place where the staff here rested. If the audience outside accidentally entered, it would be inconvenient.
The first person to discover this also confirmed this matter.
She still had the key to the front door in her hand.
After she came in, she didn't have time to put it back.
All the staff here had the key to this place.
Even if this was confirmed.
The first person to discover this still had to explain himself.
And this also successfully obtained the approval of the other staff here.
Including that student Tachibana.
All the staff members were suspected.
Just like that, all the staff members here were found out.
Including the theater itself, as well as Ju Zuo Jin's play.
Among them, who had an alibi, were all checked.
In the end, everyone had an alibi.
This made Student Ju Zuo Jin ponder silently.
The current situation seemed to be very serious!
Tachibana was the only 'person' who could ease the current atmosphere.
Even though Tachibana was no longer in the mood to cooperate with him.
All the keys were on their own bodies.
They confirmed again that no one had lost their keys.
Which step did the problem occur?
Tachibana was also thinking very hard at the side.
However, he was just a puppet. Even though he was working hard, his eyebrows were already starting to fly.
He still couldn't think of any answer.
In the end, he could only wait for the answer with his hands behind his back.
Who would this old man have a grudge with?
Who would want to kill him?
This was another line of thought that could be investigated.
Conan Edogawa prepared to investigate based on this line of thought.
As for the result!
The result on his side was also very disappointing.
The victim had never offended anyone.
He was a good person.
Everyone had a very good impression of him.
For a person like him, this place had always been running so well. It was all thanks to his personality.
Everyone was willing to help him.
It was such a person's death that many people couldn't accept.
There couldn't be any other changes in the time of the murder case.
No.
There were still other possibilities.
Because when they finally separated from this person, this person left from the backstage.
No one saw him return here and lock the door.
It was more likely that he was killed on the way.
Just like that, Conan Edogawa immediately rummaged through the victim's pockets.
Then, he found something that he didn't expect.
The victim's key was missing.
If they came back from the outside, the prisoner didn't need to bring the key. That person could lock the door.
This was a key that was only needed to open the door.
Then, this person did it to make others mistakenly think that it was done by the staff here.
Then, that person shouldn't have taken this with him when he left?
This primary school detective was currently puzzled.
This was really very suspicious.
Could it be that time was too tight?
This was probably the most likely answer so far.
But no one else had passed by during that time.
Unless one of them was lying.
The primary school detective squinted his eyes and looked at the staff in front of him.
The primary school detective re-analyzed the staff's words.
Then, after that, he quietly asked Kuroba Kaito to help him ask a few of them again.
The strange thief didn't ask him why, but he just asked directly.
It seemed like he had something in his heart.
There were indeed contradictions in these people's words.
Just like that, Kurou Kudo and Conan Edogawa were discussing the details of the case.
Hey, hey.
He wasn't a detective at all.
The strange thief silently complained in his heart.
But he didn't stop studying the case.
In short, the problem must be with these people.
They were all staff here.
In fact, Conan Edogawa had another thought that he didn't say out loud. He just thought that the key might not have been taken away because of time or because they were too tight.
They wanted to mislead.
It was different from what he had thought at first that the staff here had misled him.
This prisoner was quite likely to mislead them. When they found that the key wasn't on the victim, they would mistakenly think that the prisoner came from outside.
This way, the staff wouldn't be suspicious.
