At eight o'clock in the evening, Ekoda.
At Kuroba Kaito's house, Nakamori Aoko dressed as a housekeeper, swept up the dust on the ground, poured it into a wastebasket, and then wiped the fine sweat on her forehead:
"Phew! The cleaning is finally done! Kaito! I mean, why don't you clean it up a little bit every time? See for yourself, we actually swept out so much dust..."
"Uh... I'm sorry!" Kaito apologized repeatedly, "I'll pay attention to it in the future!"
Beside Nakamori Aoko, Momoi Keiko untied her apron, and then hummed softly: "Don't just talk but don't do anything. If you do this again, I will absolutely, absolutely never come to help again!"
"Yes, yes!" Nakamori Aoko agreed, then looked up at the clock, "Ah? It's already eight o'clock! It will take about half an hour for us to clean up, and if we go to have a big meal, it seems It’s a little too late…”
"Then what should we do?" Kaito was stunned, "How about changing the feast to tomorrow?"
After Kaito finished speaking, Nakamori Aoko and Momoi Keiko rushed to Kaito and asked with a dark face: "Do you mean to let us go home on an empty stomach?"
"How is that possible..." Kaito quickly hid back, and then an idea flashed in his mind, "...How about we order takeout?"
Hearing this, Nakamori Aoko and Momoi Keiko looked at each other and said, "Okay, let's order takeout! But we want a feast! A feast!"
"Don't worry, I understand!"
Kaito nodded, walked to the phone obediently, and dialed the number of a nearby restaurant.
About a minute later, Kaito hung up the phone, looked at Nakamori Aoko and the others and said:
"I have already ordered the food, and the boss said it will be delivered in about twenty minutes!~"
…
Eight o'clock and five o'clock in the evening, Osaka.
Downstairs at the 3K World Hotel, Xiaolan took the intercom and commanded: "Mr. Mike, the curtains in the middle room on the third floor are not open. Please go and open them; Mr. Rika, you mistakenly turned on the light in the second room on the sixth floor." It's on, please turn it off; and Mr. Lei, you haven't turned on the light on the far right on the first floor..."
"Got it! We'll deal with it right away!"
On the intercom, Ray Katis and the others answered each other. Then Conan, Xiaolan and the others first saw the curtains of the room in the middle of the third floor being opened, then the lights in the second room from the left on the sixth floor were turned off, and then on the first floor The rightmost light is turned on.
Seeing the word "K" successfully formed outside the hotel room, Xiaolan smiled slightly and was about to tell Ray Katis and the others the news. Suddenly, she heard a loud "bang" and then the window in the middle of the second floor shattered. Cracked.
Under the building, Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu all changed their expressions when they heard the voice. Then they saw the windows on the sixth, third, and first floors opened in sequence, and Rika Barre, Mike Nord and Ray Katis poked their heads out one after another and asked in shock:
"what happened?!"
"what happened?"
"That was gunfire just now?!"
Conan and the others looked up at the three athletes who were looking out the window. They all squinted slightly, and then Hattori Heiji said:
"I said, you all heard it, right? That... was indeed a gunshot!"
…
At 8:20 p.m., Ekota.
At Kuroba Kaito's house.
After finishing everything, Nakamori Aoko and Momoi Keiko washed their faces and tidied themselves up beautifully. Then they sat on the sofa with Kaito, watching TV together, waiting for the takeaway to arrive.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
When Kaito heard the bell, he immediately stood up, ran to the door in a hurry, bowed slightly to the delivery boy at the door, said "I'm sorry to trouble you," and then welcomed him in.
A few minutes later, the delivery boy placed the contents of the food box on the dining table.
I have to say that the takeout ordered by Kaito was indeed quite sumptuous, including a lot of drinks, meals, desserts, etc. Nakamori Aoko and Momoi Keiko nodded in agreement.
After setting up the takeout, the takeaway boy paid for the meal, took the food box and left.
Kaito sent the delivery boy out and returned to the dining table. He said "I'm ready" together with Nakamori Aoko and Momoi Keiko, then picked up his chopsticks and was about to start eating when suddenly the doorbell rang again.
Hearing the doorbell, Nakamori Aoko and Momoi Keiko looked curious: "Weird, the doorbell rang again. Who is here?"
"Could it be Mr. Terai?"
"You guys wait a minute, I'll go out and take a look."
Kaito stood up strangely and walked to the door. After opening the door, he saw two people wearing courier company uniforms, bowing slightly and saying: "Hello, are you Mr. Kaito Kuroba? I have your courier." …”
"What?" Kaito was stunned when he heard this, pointed at his nose, and asked in surprise, "My express delivery?"
…
8:25 pm, Osaka.
3K World Hotel, the entrance to the guest room in the middle of the second floor.
Officer Otaki squatted on the ground, looking at Ed and Mike who were lying on the ground, holding the belt with their left hand, and extending their thumb, index finger, and middle finger with their right hand in a "three" hand shape. He frowned and said:
"The time is now 8:25 pm. The deceased is Ed Mike, 48 years old, an entertainment reporter in Chicago, USA. The deceased was shot in the chest. The murder weapon was the Smith pistol that fell next to the body. The bullet directly hit the vital part. , but he did not die on the spot, but died after struggling for a very short period of time..."
Officer Otaki spoke softly of his judgment and said with a solemn expression: "...So, this weird posture that the deceased made before death should be a death message!"
"That's right." At the door of the room, Conan, Hattori Heiji, Uncle Mori, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki were all staring at the corpse, holding their chins and thinking.
Officer Otaki turned to look at the group of outsiders standing at the door, rubbed his head helplessly, and then asked: "Heiji, when did you hear the gunfire?"
"It was at 8:05." Hattori Heiji answered together, "We were standing downstairs in the hotel and came up immediately after hearing the gunshots. Mr. Ed was already dead at that time, and there was no suspicious person around. But when we heard the gunshots, we asked security to block all entrances and exits of the building. All the murderers should still be in the building..."
"Really?" Officer Otaki nodded, then turned to look at his subordinates beside him and said, "Since the deceased was shot dead, it stands to reason that the murderer should have a smoke reaction! No matter what, , first check the smoke reactions of everyone present!"
"Okay, Officer Otaki."
The subordinate next to him responded and stood up to leave. Nanatsuki Koshizui held his chin and said: "The murderer who dared to shoot and kill in a building with so many people must not be a reckless person! In my opinion, the smoke reaction may not be able to What do you think about finding the murderer?”
"Yes!" Conan and Hattori Heiji nodded, then looked at the corpse and said, "...So, if we want to find the murderer as soon as possible, we must first decipher the death message left by the deceased!"
"That's right." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, and then suddenly thought of Shu Yunwen, the fucker, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that Yunwen is not here. If he were here..."
"...The case should have been solved by now..."
