Inside the Hattori family's residence in Osaka...
Even though a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, Hattori Heiji eventually had to accept reality. He joined his good buddy in a state of self-doubt and was once again deeply affected by Senichi's performance.
Fortunately, for hearts that had already been through countless trials, this was just a minor setback, nothing serious. The two of them quickly regained their spirits, relying on their friendship, and began to contemplate the case.
In the end, after Hattori Heiji received the video over the internet and, together with Conan, painstakingly analyzed it frame by frame, and engaged in a series of intense discussions, they reached a conclusion.
That conclusion was that Senichi's performance in this case had reached a level beyond their comprehension.
In the terminology of the cultivation world, it could be described as "The Great Dao is Extremely Simple."[i.e When you reach a high level in some thing or skill, things become simple instead of complex]
In their eyes, this was an extremely profound application of psychological techniques. It involved profiling the criminal's state of mind at the time, observing and capturing micro-expressions, understanding the suspect's psychology during the arrest, and many other related fields, all of which had reached a point where they could no longer decipher.
Fortunately, despite not fully understanding how Senichi had executed these techniques, they had grasped the theory behind it.
Based on the video, it appeared that Senichi had seized upon the suspect's long-suppressed need to confide in someone. He had used his role as a stranger, and even the conflicts between him and Noboru's group, to make the target lower their guard.
With the assistance of alcohol, he used words, occasional agreement, and made the target feel that they were having a pleasant conversation - a fact evident in the conversation captured in the video.
For someone who had bottled up their feelings for years without anyone to confide in, the constant praise and agreement, combined with the effects of alcohol, would naturally lead them to become increasingly uninhibited.
Under the influence of alcohol, their normally vigilant mind was dulled.
Furthermore, as Senichi was an unfamiliar outsider and a stranger, chatting with him in high spirits while under the influence of alcohol, they might have felt more comfortable speaking their mind, which was something that could indeed happen.
They conducted a detailed analysis of Aramaki's background, experiences, and the psychological effects of living under such pressure for years. They also meticulously examined various details in the video. By combining these aspects, they ultimately arrived at the conclusion mentioned above!
Although they couldn't comprehend Senichi's specific actions, they deduced the evidence from the results. When it came to those incomprehensible actions, they could only attribute it to their own lack of expertise, as they couldn't understand Senichi's techniques.
It was somewhat like a martial arts master whose actions might seem ordinary to an onlooker due to the outcome of certain events.
The results Senichi achieved served as the starting point for them to deduce their final conclusions.
Then, the two high school detective prodigies who burned the midnight oil studying various psychology, micro-expression, and forensic knowledge took Senichi's seemingly ordinary actions as incredibly potent techniques..
On the other hand...
The instigator of this situation, Senichi, remained oblivious to the two students' final analysis. If he knew the outcome of their analysis, he might burst into laughter.
But at this moment, he was lying on his bed, equally unable to contain his happiness.
There was no other reason for his happiness—it was all due to the reward he had received after preventing the case.
[Prevented Revenge]
[Completion: Excellent ~ Perfect]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Master-level Skill Experience Card"]
[Evaluation: You, who peered into the full details of the case early on, did not choose to passively wait for the criminal to attack the victim but instead opted for an active approach, cutting off the source of the problem at its root.
Whether it's the law or common sense, sometimes it presents a difficult choice, a dilemma faced by detectives.
Why should the one who made the first mistake receive protection, while the avenger is subject to legal punishment? When will fairness come for the avenger?
This time, your determination to forsake the rewards and balance morality and the law led you to find the optimal solution for this current case, which is commendable!
Fate has favored you unknowingly, and to encourage this behavior, the reduced reward has been elevated!]
Seeing the rewards on the settlement panel and the evaluation below, Senichi understood why he was so delighted.
When he initially used the "Lie-Detecting Needle," he was prepared for a reduction in rewards. However, unexpectedly, despite using a system-discouraged tool, things took a turn for the better.
Although the reward was still somewhat reduced, it wasn't just a mediocre item like the Excellent-grade reward from before. It was now a valuable item lying between Excellent and Perfect.
[Master-level Skill Experience Card: After use, it can raise the designated skill level to B-rank (15 years) for one hour. After the experience with this skill ends, there will be some insights gained as a bonus.]
[Note: Will you choose to be a coward for a lifetime or become a hero for one minute?
No, with this, you can be a hero for one hour and use that time to resolve your troubles!]
Functionally, this item wasn't as powerful as rewards above Perfect grade, as it only raised skill levels to the Master rank and not the highest Grandmaster rank.
Nevertheless, it was still excellent.
Moreover, whether it was due to Senichi's current predicament of owning a "gold mine" that couldn't be mined, this item came just in the nick of time!
With this, Senichi could install the "Roar" engine into his newly purchased car!
That's right; when he saw this item...
Just imagine the terrifying power of an A-rank driving skill combined with the "Roar" engine. The title of Tokyo's Car King would undoubtedly fall into Senichi's lap.
From racing cars to breezing through high-speed trains on the Shinkansen, it would all be child's play~
Thinking about it, Senichi became somewhat impatient.
