Hattori Heiji and Conan watched Totsuki Junya leave the room.
When they turned back to look at Fujino, a trace of confusion flashed through their eyes.
The two of them felt that Fujino was being far too unusual today. He had not gotten angry at all despite that? Normally, he would have pulled out his Wooden Sword and started swinging, or at least snapped back on the spot, right?
"Since Totsuki has already figured out the method, there's nothing left for us to do. Let's go have dinner first."
"Come to think of it, I'm getting a little hungry too."
Fujino's expression remained unchanged as he made the suggestion to everyone, as though he had not cared about the provocation just now at all.
The others nodded and headed to the dining room together.
They did not care much about Totsuki Junya's conclusion.
If Totsuki Junya's deduction was wrong, they could offer their own.
If Totsuki Junya's deduction turned out to be right, then they had nothing to say.
Since it was a competition, whoever reached the conclusion first would naturally win. Everyone present had that much grace.
More importantly, they really were hungry.
As everyone headed toward the dining room, unnoticed by anyone, the shadow behind Fujino quietly vanished and turned into a dark silhouette that left its host.
Second floor.
Totsuki Junya arrived at his room, intending to set up the scene.
About a year ago, he had happened across a locked-room case and solved it.
Though the final outcome had not been very good, and it had not earned him much fame.
His conclusion had still been correct.
After looking around, he found the toolbox he had noticed upon arriving in his room.
Inside were glue, wire, pliers, screwdrivers, saws, and other tools...
