So, why did Matsumoto Kiyocho investigate this? Does he think it has something to do with the real culprit in this case?

"Wait a minute, I seem to have an impression of this case," Yusaku Kudo suddenly frowned. "If I'm not mistaken......"

"Oh?" Shuichi Akai looked at Yusaku Kudo. "Did Mr. Kudo remember something?"

"Hmm," Yusaku Kudo nodded. "I was thinking about the fire scene, so I asked my friends from the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters to participate in the field trip. And also carried out a follow-up visit to Nanako's family in Motojo. ”

"So what do we do now?" Shuichi Akai asked.

"Investigate immediately," Kudo replied. "We just went to Mitaka City, where Nanako Motogami lived, or Chiba City, where Motojo's family lived. Investigate some of the strange things that happened after Nanako Motogami's death. ”

"What do I need to do?" Shuichi Akai asked again.

"You are on standby for the time being, after all, you are the main combat force, and this crime scene that resembles the shape of the Big Dipper and the North Star clearly suggests that the next crime location is near Shiba Park." Yusaku Kudo shook his head. "Then, Conan, you go to the nearby city of Mitaka and try to visit the neighbors nearby to see if you can get any valuable clues."

"Where's you, Dad?" Conan asked.

"I'm going to visit the Honjo house again," Kudo said. "I need to see if there's anything going on over there."

…………

Yusaku Kudo, who had passed through the disguise, was wearing a black suit and holding a bouquet of flowers, looking at the door of the house where the [Benshang] sign hung in front of him and a man was waiting on the side.

Two years ago, the family suffered unbearable pain – they lost their youngest daughter, who had left the family but was still cherished by the family.

Yusaku Kudo took the flower and stopped in front of the somewhat stunned man.

"Excuse me, is this the Benjo family?"

The man standing in front of the door he knew—it was Nanako Hongami's brother, Hongami Kazuki.

"Yes," Motogami Kazuki apparently failed to see through the disguise created by Yukiko Kudo. "Who are you?"

"I'm a friend of Miss Benjo.,I used to think it was a trivial matter so I've been abroad.,Recently, I returned to Japan and was shocked to hear about Miss Benjo.。 As he spoke, Yusaku Kudo showed a look of regret. "So I hope to pay my respects to my deceased friend."

"Nanako's old friend?" Motojo and Tree were a little surprised. "Okay, please come in."

After completing the worship, Yusaku Kudo said that he wanted to ask Kazuki Motojo about the cause of Nanako Moto's death. So Motogami and Shu invited Yusaku Kudo into a small room.

"It's ridiculous to say...... "Kazuki Motojo made a very helpless expression." Two years ago, she was staying at a hotel in Kyoto, but a fire broke out in that hotel, blocking the escape route down the sixth floor. And the elevator with a load of 7 people was completely scrapped after sending out a group of survivors on the sixth floor - the sister also lived on the sixth floor, and was the only victim in the hotel who did not have time to escape at that time......"

"The only one?" Yusaku Kudo made a surprised expression again. "Why is it only Miss Ben ......?"

"I don't know," Motojo said as he took a deep breath and shook his head. "But according to them, her death had nothing to do with them, it was all because she herself failed to catch the elevator, and they didn't see any trace of her at all—despite the fact that her body was found next to the elevator."

Yusaku Kudo looked into Motogami Kazuki's eyes and said nothing.

His tone is so sincere that it sounds like an older brother who has doubts about his sister's controversial death. But his body movements tell Yusaku Kudo that he is not really excited about the incident itself, and can even be said to be quite calm.

But what he said was clearly intended to make those who heard it think that he had doubts about the cause of Nanako Motogami's death.

So, what is his purpose?

"That, sister, I think I like astronomical observations very much, right?" Yusaku Kudo asked.

"Yes." Motojo and Tree nodded.

"By the way, and then she likes the Big Dipper?" Yusaku Kudo asked again.

Before, he was with Bengami and Shu to look at the room before Nanako Motogami eloped, and saw a star map in it that put the Big Dipper in the core position - considering that this murder case also used the Big Dipper as a location clue, then it is obviously likely that Nanako Motogami likes the Big Dipper very much, and the murderer intends to honor her in this way.

"Yes." Kazuki Motojo nodded again.

"By the way, did the seven survivors come to offer flowers or anything?" Yusaku Kudo asked again.

"Nope." Benjo and the tree shook their heads. "Not a single one."

"You didn't come to offer flowers, did you?" Yusaku Kudo asked again.

"Yes." Motojo and Tree nodded.

Yusaku Kudo nodded.

The body language of Ben and Shu who answered "yes" in the first two times belongs to the same pattern, and is completely different from the body language of the last "yes".

————

Yusaku Kudo stood at the door of Motojo's house, said goodbye to Motojo and Shu, and then turned to leave.

Kazuki Moto's problems exposed in this meeting are quite serious, because he has been constantly instilling all kinds of clues to Yusaku Kudo throughout the conversation that will point the finger at Kosuke Mizutani - if Kazuki Motogami is sincere in saying this, it may be because Kosuke Mizutani is indeed a crappy criminal; But if Ben and Shu's words are full of hypocrisy, then it can only be done on purpose.

Thinking like this, Yusaku Kudo turned a corner, and then took off his suit in a blind corner that was impossible to see on the book and the tree.

This suit is not a suit in the ordinary sense, its inner and outer sides are completely different colors, and the inner and outer pockets are also designed with the outer side of the suit. As for the purpose –

Yusaku Kudo swapped the inside and outside of the suit, and then put on the suit that had changed from black to blue.

He then took off the black trousers he was wearing, revealing the blue trousers he had been wearing all along.

In the end, he tore off the outer layer of disfiguring skin on his face, and unhurriedly put on a pair of flat glasses on the last layer of disfigured skin on the inner layer - at this time, Yusaku Kudo was completely different from Yusaku Kudo, who had left the house three minutes earlier.

Turning his head back to the road where Honjo Mansion was, Kudo Yusaku leaned against the telephone pole quite relaxedly, and while using his mobile phone to send his preliminary reasoning to Conan, he aimed at the door of Honjo Mansion with his peripheral vision.
