Chapter 149: Welcome to Bocchan Restaurant, Part Two

At Bocchan Restaurant...

"Mizuno's autopsy discovered something strange about Red Shirt's body." Megure informed the others. "It's about the ladder that left by his feet. When a person is hanged using a step of that height, mot much force should be applied to the neck. However, Mizuno found signs of a rather large force being applied to the body's neck. It's possible that a third party is involved."

"Red Shirt's murder was made to look like a suicide." Mouri realized. "The culprit must be either Bocchan, Yamaarashi or Nodaiko."

After re-interviewing everyone involved in the case and finding the witnesses, Conan finally pieced together what happened.

With that, the Detective Boys took the culprit aside for a talk.

"You're saying I lied?" Toyama blinked.

"About Red Shirt and Uranari-san." Conan clarified. After all, you pushed them towards becoming romantic rivals."

"We checked." Haibara stated. "With Bocchan, Nodaiko-san and Yamamarashi-san."

"You set it up beforehand." Conan continued. "In order to frame Red Shirt for Uranari-san's murder."

"I don't know why you think I did it, but I have an alibi." Toyama reminded.

"Both the night before last when Uranari-san was killed and last night when Red Shirt was hanged, you stayed at Kiyo-san's house." Conan remarked.

"The night before you, you just happened to visit and last night because the murder scared you." Ayumi pointed out. "Isn't that what you said?"

"Because it's true." Toyama answered.

"But even if you stayed over, it was still possible for you to do this." Conan declared. "Both cases happened in the middle of the night. As long as you slipped out when Kiyo-san was asleep,"

"Kiyo-san said so herself." Haibara added. "As though she'd been drugged by sleeping pills."

"You created a fake alibi and first invited Uranari-san to the park the night before last." Conan continued. "You stabbed him to death. Then, in order to make it seem like the crime scene was here, you threw Uranari-san's body into the lake. Ultimately, suspicions fell on Red Shirt who lived in the restaurant, just like you planned. You created a motive for Red Shirt's suicide. Last night, you asked Red Shirt to meet you, knocked him out and killed him by stringing him up using a rope. Then, you made it look like suicide. If you just wanted Red Shirt's death to look like a suicide, you could have lifted the unconscious Red Shirt and wrapped a rope around his neck. You chose that method because you wanted to take revenge with your own hands. The police told us: with your strength, you could've done it."

"But if I lifted a person using the rope, wouldn't there be scrapes on the branch?" Toyama asked.

"You used ice." Conan revealed. "Ice shaped like a horse saddle. This wouldn't leave any scrape marks behind and the ice would melt by morning. But, there are traces left of the ice: the branch was strangely damp and Red Shirt's hair was also wet."

"There's one more thing that proves your guilt." Mitsuhiko added.

"You had to make sure the ice wouldn't melt before you used it." Conan stated.

"You needed a cooler and dry ice." Mitsuhiko added.

"The store employee remembered you buying them." Genta cut in.

"Since so pretty, you must've made an impression." Mitsuhiko noted.

"My alibi isn't ironclad." Toyama sighed. "I am strong and I did buy a cooler and dry ice. But why would I kill those two? I have no motive."

"You told me about your younger sister." Ayumi spoke.

"Subarachnoid hemorrhaging can appear in young people." Conan declared. "It also happens if you hit your head really hard. I looked into the circumstances of your sister's death. Her life was taken, but they'd never be charged. So, you swore revenge. And those two drunk men..."

"You were close to your sister, weren't you?" Ayumi asked.

"Yes." Toyama sobbed. "After all, she was my only younger sister. It was her birthday. Four days later, Natsumi passed away. It may not have been malicious, but those two killed my sister."

"So, you looked for them." Conan concluded.

"Madonna: that word was my only clue and it led me to this Bocchan Restaurant." Toyama revealed. "I got a job, spent six months developing their romantic rivalry, and with these hands... though ultimately, you Detective Boys figured it out. This is for the best." she admitted. "if I'm not punished, it would be a lie. If I'd forced Natsumi to go to the hospital six months ago, maybe she wouldn't have died."

"I'm sorry, but we're questioning everyone again." Megure cut in.

Toyama turned to Megure and turned herself in.
