"Do you work in a securities firm? So, this house is only lived in by you two brothers?" Inspector Megure asked.
"Yes, that's right, but I bought this house. He's just staying here for a while..." Tomofumi Tanaka explained to Inspector Megure.
Conan saw something fall from Tomofumi Tanaka's pant leg, so he walked over and picked it up. "A leaf?" Conan suddenly thought of the large tree in the house's courtyard. "Could it be?"
Inspector Megure led everyone upstairs. "Hmm, we've even checked the attic and under the floorboards. Now only your brother's room hasn't been searched..."
"Oh, this... if my elder brother doesn't mind, then it's fine," Tomofumi Tanaka said, leading everyone to his brother's room. He knocked on the door. "Brother, can I come in?"
Tomofumi Tanaka opened the door and saw his brother sitting in a chair watching TV. Only when Tomofumi Tanaka walked up to his brother did he realize his brother had fallen asleep. He said to Inspector Megure, "Ah, come in, but please be quiet. My brother is sound asleep."
"Is... is that so?" Inspector Megure nodded, walked in, and began searching his brother's room. "This room really has very few things in it!" Inspector Megure found that the room only contained a chair and a television.
Tomofumi Tanaka explained, "My brother just likes to keep his room neat and tidy."
"There's a quite large tree behind the house." Inspector Megure pulled open the curtains and only then realized there was a very large tree in the courtyard, its branches reaching to the window.
"Hmm, there's such a tall tree here. If that's the case, then the leaf can be explained, but where exactly is the body?" Conan scratched his head by the window, unable to figure out where the body was.
"His brother is already dead. The one sitting in the chair now is a corpse. The body in the bathroom should be this one. Ridiculous, he thought no one would find out his brother was dead? He truly underestimated me." Yuu said to Conan, displeased.
"What?" Conan, hearing this, secretly glanced at the two. "These two must be twins. They look exactly alike. So, the 'brother' at that time must have been Tomofumi Tanaka pretending. But what was that roaring sound?"
"Hey, this was found by the phone downstairs. The voice wasn't from the second floor," Haibara suddenly pulled out a voice recorder.
"So that's how it is!" Conan, having figured everything out, understood the whole matter. "Now, how to tell Inspector Megure the truth?"
"Leave the body to me; the rest is your business." After speaking, Yuu walked towards the corpse.
"Shouldn't we not wake my brother? Let's go out first?" Tomofumi Tanaka suggested to Inspector Megure.
"Hmm, anyway, we haven't found anything..." Inspector Megure said, about to leave the room.
"You're so eager to make us leave this room, are you planning to come back later and secretly move your brother's body?" Yuu said, pushing with his hand. "Bang!" Tomofumi Tanaka's brother's corpse heavily fell to the ground.
Tomofumi Tanaka was greatly astonished to see his brother's corpse fall. He hadn't expected this to be discovered.
Inspector Megure turned around and saw that Tomofumi Tanaka's brother, lying on the ground, was completely motionless. He quickly walked over to check and found that the body had been dead for quite some time. Inspector Megure then immediately looked at Tomofumi Tanaka warily.
Conan walked to Inspector Megure's side, took out the voice recorder, and pressed play. "So noisy!! Can't you be quiet!?" The voice came from the voice recorder.
After hearing this voice, Inspector Megure looked at Tomofumi Tanaka: "Mr. Tanaka, this, you probably can't explain, can you?"
Tomofumi Tanaka, speechless, lowered his head. Just as Inspector Megure was telling the police to get handcuffs to prepare to arrest Tomofumi Tanaka, Tomofumi Tanaka suddenly raised his head, his face contorted in a crazed expression, and lunged at Yuu. "He kept eating and living off me for free, and then he even found my forged stocks and tried to blackmail me. I'm getting married soon..."
"That's not a valid reason for you to kill your own brother!!" Yuu punched Tomofumi Tanaka in the abdomen, knocking him unconscious. "After all, he's still your own brother!!!"
Looking at the unusually agitated Yuu, Haibara couldn't help but recall Yuu's tears she had seen that night. "You truly value family affection!"
Conan walked to Yuu's side, tugging on Yuu's clothes to signal him to calm down.
After putting the murderer into the police car, Inspector Megure curiously asked Yuu, "Yuu, how did you know his brother was already dead?"
"As a medical researcher, how can I not understand the human body?" Yuu explained his disguised identity to Inspector Megure and briefly talked about his experiences.
"You've truly worked hard. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. I can still help a little." After speaking with Yuu, Inspector Megure looked at the Junior Detective League. "Thank you for your assistance. Next time you encounter such a situation, remember to call the police in time!"
"Okay!" Genta and the two others replied.
Inspector Megure nodded and left in the police car.
