And here is the second part of The Case with its resolution and the beginning of the real mess, enjoy! :D

"I ask you again Heito, is your alibi really true ?" Heiji looked at the older man waiting for his answer.

"I told you already ! I was at a restaurant at that time !"

He is getting angry and desperate. Good, that will make it a lot easier. Time for the second part ! Heiji turned his cap around, as was his habit when he was getting serious, and continued exposing his and Conan's deduction.

"Were you ? You have no other proof than this ticket that you could have found anywhere. All it proves is that you ate something at that restaurant at that time, not that you stayed later until the murder. And what's more you had plenty of time to get from there to here and murder your father, he was murdered at about midnight and this ticket is stamped eleven thirty six pm."

"No ! I would never do that ! I tell you, it wasn't me !"

"Then prove it Mr Toyake !"

"No ! I… I can't…"

The man seemed extremely shaken, he couldn't stop dancing on the same spot. He looked at his brother, at the young detective and at the policemen at his brother's side. He finally gave in after a minute of what seemed intense thoughts.

"O- okay, I'll tell you. No I wasn't at the restaurant at that time two days ago."

His siblings suddenly looked at him with a shocked face but before they could react he went on.

"Bu- but I didn't kill my father, okay ! It wasn't me, I was… somewhere else…"

"Where were you Mr. Toyake ? It's useless to retain this from us, we will find out one way or another."

"I… I was at Saki's house… He looked at his brother. I'm sorry but I love her, I can't deny it anymore !"

Heiji smirked; he knew something wasn't right about what that man had said in his testimony. Now, all that was needed was to know who was this Saki and the puzzle would be unveiled.

"And who might that be ? he asked."

"She- I mean, Saki Masao, is my brother's ex. They were to be married but they split up two months before the wedding. I have always been fond of her and I… I started dating her three weeks after that… We were together that night, at her house, ask her, she'll tell you ! The younger brother looked at his sibling once more. I'm sorry, I didn't want you to know because I didn't want you to hurt you Sira… I'm sorry…"

So it's like this huh, this really was well prepared indeed ! Thought both the teen detectives.

"I don't care." Said the older brother.

"Huh ? What ?"

"I don't care I said. It's over between her and me, it would never have worked anyways so I don't care, date who you want… I just hope she is better with you than she was with me that's all…"

"Hey, she-"

"No fighting !" Interrupted Heiji. "I am not finished yet, you will settle your quarrels after we are over."

"But then, who did it if it was neither of them ?" Asked detective Shiratori completely lost at this point.

"Ah that is where it becomes really interesting !" Said Heiji enthusiastically. "The murderer has planned this from a long time ago, he knew where to find the knife, and he knew that Sora was on bad terms with his father. Furthermore he framed Sora in a way that if it was found out the doubt would then fall on Heito, who would've tried to keep his relationship with Miss Saki a secret and therefore would not have had any strong alibi. So all this evidence points out at one thing : The culprit wanted to get rid of the deceased Mr. Toyake but also wanted to ruin the lives of his two sons."

"But who ?" Insisted Shiratori, getting irritated by so much suspens.

"Well the message left on the floor by the father gives us very precise indication of it, doesn't it ? It says "He did it", but haven't you noticed anything strange about it ?"

Detective Shiratori took a closer look at it, after a few seconds of staring he finally moved.

"Doesn't it seem… I don't know, clean ?"

"Exactly ! It's very clean ! Yet it has indeed been written by the victim in his dying moment with his blood and his finger, the DNA analysis told us that. So, tell me, how could a dying man write something so clean and proper as he was dying ? Why was he careful when he only had a few moments left and when his consciousness was fading ?"

The police detective shrugged, he was at a total loss. Indeed it was fishy but he didn't see what was the young man's point.

"And, last but not least, notice that it says "He did it". He wrote "He did it" and not the name of the culprit, which he knew well due to the lack of fighting bruising on his body. He didn't fight back, he knew his killer yet no name ? Why ?"

He let the question sink into everyone's mind before concluding his speech.

"It's very good question indeed: why no name ? But I think that you know the answer don't you, you who've been silent all this time, the vic's own daughter, Hayako Toyake !"

Everybody suddenly turned towards her, eyes wide.

"That's right Mrs. Toyake, you knew all about the worsening relationship between your older brother and his father and about the affair between Heito and Saki. You also knew about the knife and you had the motive to do all that !"

"N- No ! That's nonsense !" The young woman looked terrified, she had difficulty speaking. "I Would never do that to my father nor to my brothers ! I would never…"

"To your father and your brothers indeed, but the fact if Mrs. Toyake, that they are not your brothers are they ?! Well, at least not your real brothers since that man on the floor is not your father !"

Her eyes went wide in shock and she fell, crying on her knees, unable to stand.

"How… how could you know that ?" She managed to say in-between sobs.

"It's the number of wounds that tipped me off Mrs. Toyake, thirteen, the exact number of years since your mother's death isn't it ?"

She started to sob even more, tears running down her cheeks and rolled herself into a ball.

"What have I done… What have I done…" Was all she kept repeating after that, even when the policemen had to drag her to their vehicle. She was no more than a zombie.

"What a mess…" Sighed the young boy as they were walking, going back to the private detective agency.

"True. It's so sad that people have to come down to these methods to feel like justice was done. No one should have to die because of that, nor should anyone have to kill others…" Agreed Heiji.

"In the end all she wanted was to avenge the death of her mother and of her real father as it was an accident that Mr. Toyake could have prevented had he been willing to. Twelve years spent not knowing what had really happened, living in a lie… I sort of understand why she killed him, he could have saved his wife and her lover but chose not to because she cheated on him. But spending a hole year planning something like this requires determination, she was prepared to sacrifice everything to avenge her parents…"

"Yes, and she would have succeeded if only she hadn't stabbed him thirteen times… That was the only but one too many mistake that she made. It's quite sad you know…"

"It is…"

The two boys spent the next few minutes in a total silence, thinking on the tragedy that had unfolded a few days ago. It was Heiji that started the conversation again.

"Hey Kudo. The young boy shot him a glare that he ignored. Have you heared about the Phantom Thief ?"

"You mean the murder case where he is the prime suspect ? Yes I've heard of that, what of it ?"

"Don't you think it's a bit strange ? Him suddenly killing someone…"

"Yeah…" The young boy thought for a second, recalling his encounters with Kaitou Kid. It was true that the police had found his monocle covered in blood near a dead body the past week, and what's more with one of his cards in the front jacket pocket of the victim. But Conan knew him, it wasn't his style, it was too barbarian and sloppy for the "mighty" Kid Phantom. "I don't think it was him, he makes a point of honor to never injure or kill anybody. I really don't see him killing anyone."

Heiji was about to reply as they arrived in front of the agency but his phone started ringing. He told Conan to go up the stairs and that he would be there in a minute. The young boy walked up to his uncle's apartment. As he entered the room two things hit him.

First his uncle was still sleeping, he could hear his loud snores. Secondly, the computer on Kogoro's desk was on even though he hadn't used it at all in the last twenty four hours. That seemed weird so he went up to it to check, what he found strengthened his unease, a word document was opened in the task bar. Something was not right. He clicked to open it and a message was written in capital letters : Let's have fun ! V. and with it was joined a picture. A picture of a tent near a lake. What could that mean ?

Something wasn't right and it bugged him. V ? Who was V ? Then, just as it hit him he heard Heiji shout from the down on the street.

"WHAT ?! What do you mean she's "gone" ?!"

Indeed, something was wrong, very wrong…
