Chapter 435

In the basement, in front of the table where the phone was placed.

Uncle Mao Li stared at the phone's keypad, compared it to the displayed numbers, and muttered: "In this way, the secret message left by Mr. Kujukuri Motoyasu is 'D', 'C'... Asako?"

"The killer is Miss Asako?!"

"The killer, is it really Asako?" Sanada Ichizo muttered in a low voice.

Mao Li Kogoro frowned and pondered: "That's right, judging from the current situation, this possibility is extremely high."

"Miss Asako is Mr. Motoyasu's disciple. Assuming she tricked Mr. Motoyasu into the basement under the pretext of asking about magic techniques, then tricked Mr. Motoyasu into putting his hands behind his back, tied the ring with piano wire, and fed him poison, the method would be complete."

"Then, she only needed to cut and retrieve the piano wire when the body was discovered, which would be enough to make it seamless. As for the motive... I haven't thought of that yet."

Conan suddenly looked up at the photo of Kinoshita Yoshiro hanging on the wall.

Although it was only a guess for now, based on his intuition, the motive was definitely related to that Kinoshita Yoshiro hanging on the wall!

Conan suddenly remembered something and asked:

"The killer is Miss Asako, that should be correct. However, what does the 'DC' at the beginning mean? Perhaps there is another layer of meaning to the death message left by Mr. Motoyasu?"

"Could this be that Mr. Motoyasu pressed the wrong buttons?" Uncle Mao Li loved to talk nonsense.

Conan rolled his eyes and couldn't help but retort: "That shouldn't be possible, right? If he pressed the wrong buttons, wouldn't it be better to just press the delete key and re-enter? Besides, if it were a typo, how could it happen to be exactly the letters 'DC'?"

"Uh~" Uncle Mao Li was choked into silence.

"This 'DC' also appears on musical scores, you know." Ran spoke up from the side.

"Musical score? DC?" Conan and Mao Li Kogoro were both stunned.

Ran continued, "If this 'DC' appears on a musical score, it means 'Da Capo' or 'repeat from the beginning'..."

"What? Repeat from the beginning! Could it be... that Mao Li Asako will continue to kill?"

Conan and Mao Li Kogoro simultaneously showed grave expressions.

"By the way, Sister Asako went out with Ayano just now, right?" Conan asked.

"That's right." Sanada Ichizo nodded quickly. "Miss Asako took Ayano out to buy groceries."
