"Senichi-kun, Is this really effective?"
Faced with Senichi's proposal, Inspector Megure expressed doubt. "Just having them wear the 'Wolf Face's' masks and approach you, can it really lead us to the real culprit?"
"Of course, it can."
Senichi nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, Inspector Megure. When have you ever seen me do something uncertain?"
"Well..." Inspector Megure thought of Senichi's previous performance and nodded. "I'll wait and see, then."
In the face of Senichi's proposal, although the four were puzzled, they obediently cooperated after hearing that it could lead to finding the culprit.
Since everything at the crime scene remained undisturbed, there were several bags placed on the ground, and with a long table nearby, it looked like a narrow path for only one person to pass through.
Senichi sat at the back and waited for the arrival of the four.
Firstly, the original owner of the mask, Takaharu Ogami, approached Senichi after putting on the mask. "Is this okay?"
"Come a bit closer." Senichi beckoned, and when the person reached him, he nodded. "Good, that's enough."
Next were Hiroyuki Sakuma and Leonardo Rossi. After putting on the masks, both walked smoothly towards Senichi, just like Takaharu Ogami.
The last one remaining was Iwao Ushigome.
"Just need to walk to you with the mask on, right?" Iwao Ushigome revealed a smile, and his face was indescribably relaxed.
Clearly, he didn't find this difficult at all.
Inspector Megure shared the same feeling. As they approached the last person, Iwao Ushigome, Inspector Megure started to feel anxious, not knowing what trick Senichi was playing.
Unaware of what the officer beside him was thinking, Iwao Ushigome proceeded confidently after putting on the mask.
However, when Iwao Ushigome took just a few steps forward while wearing the wolf head mask. Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri, who had been anxious just a moment ago, suddenly froze and watched Iwao Ushigome's movements as if they understood something.
With the wolf head mask on, Iwao Ushigome only took two steps forward, and he already showed a clear difference from the other three who walked straight ahead.
If Takaharu Ogami and the others walked just like normal people after putting on the mask, Iwao Ushigome's walking clearly showed some hesitation and the way he looked around clearly indicated that his vision was blocked.
It looks... just like the movements of the culprit in the video!
Before anyone could react, Iwao Ushigome attempted to move forward again and directly collided with the bags placed on the ground, and then he fell to the floor.
Senichi exchanged a glance with Conan. After receiving a nod from Senichi, Conan immediately ran over to Iwao Ushigome and said, "Uncle, are you okay?"
"Huh?" Iwao Ushigome shook his head left and right until Conan tugged at his clothes, and he finally saw Conan's figure. "Ah, thanks, I'm fine."
Iwao Ushigome stood up, took off the mask, and looked at Senichi with a smile. "Detective-san, is this sufficient?"
"Yes, it's good." Senichi nodded calmly, then, in a tone as casual as chatting with a friend, he said, "This way, I'm certain that you are the culprit who killed Hyouma Nagase!"
The moment for saying the most cutting words with the gentlest expression had arrived. Iwao Ushigome, who initially thought he had passed Senichi's test with a smiling face, was unexpectedly pointed out as the culprit.
"What... What nonsense are you talking about!"
Iwao Ushigome's pupils contracted upon hearing Senichi's words. He was about to say something when Conan, standing beside him, suddenly switched to his backstabbing mode. "Exactly the same!!"
Conan, with an innocent expression and a hint of cuteness in his tone, pointed at Iwao Ushigome. "Uncle, did you see how he looked just now? Glancing around just like the culprit in the video!"
"Glancing around?" Iwao Ushigome still looked bewildered after hearing Conan's words, not realizing where he had made a mistake, but he felt something was not right.
"Haven't you realized yet?"
Senichi, while sitting on a chair, initiated the "Tactical Lean-Back" and leaned against the backrest. "Any wrestler who has worn this wolf mask knows that it actually affects the field of vision significantly.
For someone not accustomed to wearing a mask, suddenly putting it on narrows the field of view, making them uncomfortable. So, to see the surroundings clearly, one would subconsciously look around.
Naturally, tripping over something at their feet is also quite normal.
At this point, it's quite simple. Ogami is the 'Wolf Face,' accustomed to wearing the mask in every match, so he's used to this limited vision.
As for Leonardo Rossi, he is also a masked wrestler. Aside from the difference in his mask, the rest of the structure is the same, so his vision is not affected.
Although Sakuma competes without a mask, he serves as a substitute for Takaharu Ogami. It can be said that all three of them are not suspicious.
As for the one not accustomed to wearing a mask, it's only you!"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious."
After listening to Senichi's words, Iwao Ushigome realized something was wrong and felt a bit flustered but vehemently argued, "Can you conclude that I'm the culprit just based on me glancing around? Your detective work is a bit too much of a farce!"
"Of course, there's evidence." Senichi remained unruffled as he is accustomed to hearing harsh words from criminals.
He casually countered with a "slap" to Iwao Ushigome's argument. "The videotape clearly records everything. In the video, the culprit's mask has four straps at the back, meaning the culprit wore another mask beneath the wolf face one."
"Oh right!" Takagi, who was familiar with wrestling, seemed to recall something and said, "It's the kind of mask used for eating!! That way, there won't be any hair in the mask!"
Inspector Megure also had a sudden realization. "No wonder, the victim tore apart the culprit's mask in the video, but there were no skin tissues from the culprit in the victim's nails..."
"Detective Takagi, this is the mask that is worn during meals!" Conan waved a wolf face mask in his hand. "The uncle who fell just now dropped it from his pocket."
Upon hearing this, Senichi rolled his eyes, indicating that Conan was making up stories.
Conan had taken advantage of Iwao Ushigome's fall, where his vision was blocked, to sneakily pull the mask out of his pocket. Now he was claiming that it fell.
Ah, the mouth of a mischievous child!
Facing Conan's backstabbing, Iwao Ushigome quickly denied, "You're misunderstanding, kid. I initially just wanted to play a prank and scare my friends with the mask. It's not the mask the culprit wore!"
"Is that so?" Conan's eyes flashed with a gleam. In a cute tone, he said, "But shouldn't the mask be black and white? Why are there some red spots under the right eye?"
As Conan's words fell, Iwao Ushigome's rugged expression gradually distorted.
