"uh-huh……"
Looking at the eager Conan, Belmod raised her index finger and shook it, with her usual mysterious smile on her face.
"I can't reveal too much, but... I can tell you that that person's code name is Ireland."
"Ireland?"
"That's right, a whiskey with a mellow taste. As for what happens next, you have to investigate it yourself."
After saying that, Belmod turned around and opened the door and got into the car.
"Ah, by the way..."
As if he suddenly remembered something, Belmod rolled down the window, looked at Conan, and said in a meaningful tone:
"As a small help to you, the organization recently transferred a member, a very, very dangerous member, especially to you.
Don't let him find out your secret, otherwise I can't guarantee what he will do to you..."
"What did you say?" Conan was a little confused.
His secret? Could it be referring to the fact that his body has mysteriously shrunk?
"Purple pupils."
Belmode pointed to his eyes.
"Purple pupils?"
"Eye color as beautiful as amethyst, be careful of anyone with purple eyes around you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Belmode started the car and rushed out of the underground parking lot with a flick of his tail.
"Hey! Wait..."
"Bye~"
"..."
"What are you looking at? Conan?"
"Ugh!"
In the detective agency, Mouri Kogoro went out for a meeting. Karasuma Ying, who had just finished washing the dishes, suddenly appeared behind Conan, startling a certain elementary school student who was meditating on the sofa.
On the sofa, information on the victims in the serial murder cases were scattered randomly. These were all brought back by Kogoro Moori.
"Huh? Is this some sort of puzzle?"
Karasumaying took a look, picked up one of the photos, and asked curiously.
"Uh...ah, Sister Xiaoying, this is a case that Uncle Maoli is helping the police handle. I was just a little curious, so I took it out and took a look. Please, Sister Xiaoying, please don't tell Uncle Maoli~"
Conan used all his strength to act cute towards Karasumaying. If he didn't do it, he would be dunked by that uncle again. It would be really painful...
"No, Conan." Karasuma Ying smiled and touched Conan's head, "But please remember to put things back in their place later, okay?"
"Ok, I know."
"But speaking of it, I always feel that the person in this photo looks familiar..." Karasuma Ying looked at the photo in her hand and frowned slightly.
The photo shows a middle-aged woman with black hair and glasses.
"No, it's not just her. I seem to have seen several people in other photos somewhere..."
Putting down the photo in her hand, Karasumaying looked at the photos of several other people, her eyebrows frowning even more tightly.
"What?" Conan was stunned when he heard this. Karasumaying had actually seen these people in the photo?
With his brain working rapidly, Conan looked at Karasuma Ying who was meditating, thought about it carefully, and tried to tell the clue that had puzzled him for a long time.
"Qixi Festival, Jing..."
"Kyoto!" An idea flashed in her mind, and Karasumaying finally remembered.
"My mother and I met them during the Kyoto hotel fire incident on Chinese Valentine's Day two years ago!"
"The fire in the Kyoto Hotel? Sister Xiaoying, can you tell me about it?" Conan asked quickly.
"On Chinese Valentine's Day two years ago, there was an accidental fire in a hotel in Kyoto. I remember that seven people in the hotel escaped, but one person was trapped in the hotel..."
"Seven people?" Hearing this, Conan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are they the same people in the photo?"
"Well, I remember it was them." Karasuma Ying looked at the six photos one by one and finally nodded.
When the fire broke out in the hotel, she and her mother were downstairs, so she had seen with her own eyes the seven people who escaped from the hotel.
Similarly, she also remembered that the police at the scene said that a woman was still trapped in the hotel, and that the boy downstairs who was crying heartbrokenly and wanted to rush up was the boy who was suspected to be the boyfriend of the trapped woman.
"Wait a minute, if there are seven people..." Conan looked at the six photos, his face became even more ugly.
Doesn’t it mean that one more person will die?
But if there are only seven people, wouldn’t it match the code marks on the mahjong tiles?
"Dingling bell~"
At this moment, the office phone suddenly rang, and Karasumaying quickly stepped forward to pick it up.
"Hello, this is Detective Maori... Huh? Mr. Maori?... Well, okay, I understand, um... you should also pay attention to your safety."
After communicating with Mouri Kogoro on the other end of the phone, Karasumaying finally put down the phone with a solemn expression.
"Sister Xiaoying, what did Uncle Maoli say?" Seeing her like this, Conan's heart skipped a beat.
She turned around and said to Conan: "Mr. Maoli said that another murder just happened. He will go with the police to the scene to check the situation and will not come back for lunch at noon."
"hateful!"
With a low shout, Conan turned around and ran out of the office quickly.
"I have to go out for something, and I'll leave it to you for the things on Sister Xiaoying's sofa!"
"Huh? Then lunch..."
"Don't eat it!"
"..."
In the car on the roadside, Bai Heqing lay on the driver's seat and called Gin.
"Moxi, Moxi, Xiaoqin, help me check someone out."
On the other end of the phone, Gin was silent for a moment, and then he said:
"Why don't you go to Ireland?"
Ireland is currently undercover with the police. It should be more convenient to check people. Why was he found?
"Oh, because I suddenly discovered that Ireland might be an undercover agent, so I'm not too worried."
"Undercover?"
Bai Heqing could feel the coldness in Gin's tone at that moment after hearing the words "undercover" through the phone.
"Don't get excited Xiaoqin, organization is the most important thing. We still need him to lurk with the police, so we can't kill him yet, at least until we take back the SD card." Bai Heqing comforted Ginjiu with a light tone.
"Hmph, how did you notice it?"
"The boss's order." Bai Heqing smiled slightly and directly issued the highest order.
He couldn't possibly say that it was actually because Ireland accidentally knew something he shouldn't know, so Shirakawa Kiyoshi wanted to find a reason to kill Ireland, right?
Even Gin, whom he admired very much, couldn't reveal the secret of the medicine without the boss's permission.
So I could only use the name of undercover to get rid of Ireland.
"I understand." After hearing the boss, Gin had no doubts.
He would not doubt it, because since he joined the organization, Bai Heqing has been the boss's most trusted cadre, no one.
For more than ten years, it has never changed.
In the past, it often happened that Bai Heqing would pass messages for the boss.
"After I get the SD card back in Ireland, I will get rid of him." Gin said, and he naturally knew the purpose of Shirakawa Qinghe telling him this matter.
"Okay, please, Xiaoqin, please remember not to be too violent."
"Tsk..."
Pouring his lips in displeasure, Gin hung up the phone.
Bai Heqing also put down the phone with a relaxed look on his face.
He can rest assured that Gin will take care of things.
Um?
anyway……
Bai Heqing always felt that he had forgotten something? It seems that I want to talk to Xiaoqin... what is it?
Well, forget it, the old man is not in good spirits, so he might as well take a nap first and talk about it later when he remembers...
