"Sato, how are you? Are there any results from the surveillance?"
"Yes, although the surveillance cameras in the restroom and corridor were destroyed in the explosion, we still found the real-time surveillance video of the deceased in the lobby based on his clothes and face.
"This is his face. I have asked someone to identify the result."
Among the ruins, Miwako Sato, who also wore gloves and stepped into the scene to help with the search, took out her mobile phone, pulled out the photo of the prisoner transmitted by her colleagues, and handed it to Katsumi Uehara.
At first glance, he has a fierce temperament that is not that of a good person. He has a very iconic beauty groove under his thick beard, and he is dressed in black from head to toe.
"Wait a minute, the clothes of the child on the edge of this photo, Edogawa Conan?" Katsumi Uehara, who glanced at the classic Conan skin on the edge of the photo, raised his eyebrows and made sure.
"Yes, I just asked, Conan, the kid, met the black-clad deceased on his way to the bathroom with Nakajima Hideaki, a development department employee of Mantendo Company.
"Not only that, but the person who first discovered that the black-clothed deceased died in the explosion was also Conan, judging from the testimony of witnesses at the scene. This kid, if someone hadn't grabbed him immediately, he would have been the first to rush. Enter the explosion site."
Speaking of this smart child, Miwako Sato also turned her head and looked at the figure outside the cordon, who was being restrained by Mao Lilan's hands, and her words were astonishing.
She had seen how extraordinary this child was when Moses was separated, and he could even help the police save people, which was not something ordinary primary school students could do.
"He wanted to rush into the explosion site?"
Katsumi Uehara, who was pulling away rubble from the scene, paused for a moment, glanced at the face of the deceased in the photo, and felt completely relieved.
Considering so many factors, it must be that the eucalyptus in the agave from the distillery has not escaped.
It can only be said that there is a gap between real wine and real wine in a distillery that can be blown up by an ordinary person. Tequila's status in the organization is estimated to be inferior to that of Vodka's full-time driver.
"In that case, let's go and ask about the situation."
Katsuki Uehara, who felt much more relaxed, stood up slowly, picked up the cordon and walked towards Mao Lilan's location.
Sato Miwako frowned and pointed to the other side: "Uehara, Detective Mori and the others are over there."
"I know, isn't the Memu Police Department over there asking questions? There happens to be another client here, so I'll ask too."
Taking advantage of his height advantage, he looked condescendingly at Conan, whose expression changed slightly as he approached. After saying hello to Maori Lan, Uehara Katsumi squatted in front of him with a smile: "Conan, you are the first One who found the deceased killed by a bomb?”
"Ah, um, I was in a hurry and wanted to go to the toilet, and then I saw the explosion."
His eyes were full of innocence, and his childish voice pretended to be what a child of this age should look like. Conan couldn't help but tighten Xiaolan's hand beside him, looking shocked, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart:
Fortunately, fortunately, the bug was recovered before the police arrived.
learn from mistakes.
Although he is now very careful about his fingerprints, the bug with his fingerprints in the police station has been replaced. But if another listening device of the same type is found at the explosion site, it is difficult for the police not to think of the previous Shinkansen explosion and become extremely sensitive.
That would be a mistake. This was not a situation he wanted to see.
"Uehara, confirmed. Surveillance showed that the deceased was carrying a suitcase engraved with the Mantiantian Company logo when he left the hall. However, only some debris and a Mantiantian Game Company logo could be found at the scene. It is speculated that the prisoner The bomb should have been placed in the box and set to detonate as soon as the box was opened."
Although she didn’t understand why her partner would ask an elementary school student for first-hand information about the scene, after receiving another report from her colleague, Miwako Sato immediately handed the report to him——
"According to the current information, the deceased should be one of the people in the gaming industry who was invited to participate in the Mantian game exhibition.
"Hideaki Nakajima, a member of the development department of this company, developed a mystery game based on the famous detective Kogoro Mori, which was highly praised by the company, thus convening this game exhibition.
"However, what is confusing is that the deceased was not an employee of Mantiantian Company, but when he left the lobby, the surveillance showed that the suitcase he took from the front desk had the logo of Mantiantian Company."
"In other words, the murderer is among all the Mantendo Company employees in the venue today?" Uehara Katsumi, who originally wanted to ask Conan to see if he had solved the problem, stood up, took the report handed over by his partner, and looked at He turned to the game company employees who were surrounded by chaos outside the cordon.
"Have someone check the surveillance system at the suitcase storage area to see if they can find this man in black."
——? !
Conan, who was still congratulating himself on his quick move, was suddenly startled when he heard this——
Game company employees?
Suitcase storage?
Wait a moment!
I remember when the man in black took the suitcase away from the front desk and showed the number tag, the front desk staff said it was No. 98?
Anyone who deposits their suitcase at the front desk will receive a corresponding number plate after depositing it.
Conan remembered clearly: before the police arrived, he had passed by the front desk, and happened to hear the front desk staff call the deceased in black - "Guest No. 98."
But now that I think about it carefully, the number plate Mouri Kogoro got after depositing his suitcase was No. 96, and Maori Lan's number plate was No. 100. In other words, the person who killed the members of this organization was the original owner of No. 98!
No - that's not right.
I remember the content of the phone call I heard at that time, the man who called himself Tequila and the vodka on the other end of the phone said "the deal is done", if it was just a deal...
Conan looked at the original owner of No. 98 - the man who went to the toilet with him, but ended up getting lost in the corridor and bumping into the dead man in black, Hideaki Nakajima, a member of the development department of Mantian Game Company.
if it is like this……
Conan, who subconsciously entered a state of thinking, glanced at Katsumi Uehara, who was talking to Miwako Sato, and quietly released his hold on Xiaolan's hand. His young body was as slippery as a loach, and he kept running around the venue.
"Hey, sister, I would like to ask you, from the beginning of the conference to now, is the only one who has come to pick up the box is the dead one?" Conan, who ran all the way to the front desk and completely escaped from the prison, began to stop hiding.
"Yes, little brother."
very good!
After receiving a positive answer, Conan's mouth curved with confidence, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the object of his suspicion.
If this is the case, it still means that the person who traded the agave has not yet taken away the trading box, which means——
The real murderers are the three people with numbers 97, 98, and 99 whose number plates are between Uncle Maori No. 96 and Lan No. 100.
Moreover, if he only made a deal with the member of the black organization, he should not kill anyone at the conference he was responsible for.
In other words, what the murderer really wanted to kill was the person who should have actually taken suitcase No. 98. However, he did not expect that Suitcase No. 98 was taken away by Tequila, which resulted in a manslaughter...
Conan's mind was like a flash of lightning. All confusion disappeared in an instant. He took a walk back to the police area and saw Mouri Kogoro, who had just vomited from the bathroom and was listless.
After noticing him, Megure Jusan was walking towards Mouri Kogoro with Uehara Katsumi and others——
"Brother Maori, how much did you drink last night? Are you feeling well?" With his capable subordinates at hand, Megure Thirteen was not in a hurry to rush Kogoro.
small book booth
After all, Uehara Katsuki has already deduced that the murderer is most likely an employee of Mantendo Company, so all he needs to do next is to conduct a simple suitcase inspection.
Conan quickly walked around the pillar behind Mouri Kogoro and turned off the anesthesia watch. He quietly revealed half of his head, raised the watch, and aimed his sights at Kogoro's neck——
"Thank you for caring about the police department. I'm fine."
"How about I send you back to take a rest first, Detective Mori?" Uehara Katsumi crossed Megure Thirteen, stepped forward and supported the shaking Mori Kogoro——
stop!
Mouri Kogoro, who should have fallen down smoothly, took a step back because he was being supported, causing Conan's anesthesia needle to be empty——
Then he accurately hit Uehara Katsumi who was taking a step forward!
——? !
Oops!
Shot wrong? !
Conan's expression suddenly changed as he was hiding behind the pillar, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Damn it, why did you shoot this policeman? !
Caught off guard, Uehara Katsumi couldn't avoid the anesthesia needle that was so thin that it was invisible to the naked eye. Suddenly, his vision went dark and his consciousness fell into a deep sleep.
"Uehara?!"
"Brother Uehara?!"
Katsumi Uehara, who lost his balance, staggered and bumped into a pillar, then sat down and lowered his head.
The sudden abnormality caused Miwako Sato and Jusan Megure to exclaim in unison.
Seeing that Miwako Sato was about to take action, Conan immediately picked up the bow-tie voice changer and recalled Katsumi Uehara's voice——
"I'm fine, Sato. I just feel a little tired, so sit down and take a rest."
