"Don't be nervous yet, the safety mechanism of this pistol is pretty good, and it also has a decocking handle to prevent the hammer from accidentally touching..."
As Ye Gengyi spoke, he took action. He kept the direction of the muzzle unchanged, directly pulled the slide to load the gun, pressed the decocking handle on the front of the handle with his thumb, and said without any emotion in his tone. :
"It's okay to be nervous now."
The machine yellow rubbed against the metal, making a clicking sound. Feeling the coldness rushing towards their faces, Conan and Secretary Nojima, who were facing the muzzle of the gun, felt great fear in their hearts.
It was as if death was right in front of me.
However, nothing happened in the silence, until the two people's hearts and tremors gradually calmed down.
Ye Gengyi spoke again at the right time: "Mr. Nojima, aren't you going to explain?"
"I, I don't know..."
It seems that because of being too nervous, Secretary Nojima's voice became a little hoarse, and even he himself was startled when he heard it.
"Cough cough cough..."
He hurriedly cleared his throat and added hastily: "It's true."
"Brother Gengyi, otherwise we should put down the gun first..." Conan smiled dryly and moved his body, as if he wanted to persuade.
Ye Gengyi ignored the detective boy, continued to look at Secretary Nojima and praised:
"As expected of the CEO's secretary, he has seen a lot of big scenes. Faced with this kind of situation, he still has room to think about whether to lie..."
He left his seat, came to the door and touched the secretary's pocket:
"Well... there are no weapons. Let me guess, you must be thinking that since the TV station staff outside have called the police, I will definitely not dare to do anything to you. Moreover, when the police arrive, you You can also tell them what is happening in this office at this moment. But it is a pity..."
With the word 'pity' exited.
His eyes also became extremely deep:
"You don't know the content of a letter that has been read by three contestants in a row. You don't know the source of this pistol in the drawer. Could it be that you have picked it too clean?"
"But I really..."
"That's enough. My compliments are limited to this, because you are only capable of deceiving this elementary school student wearing glasses."
Ye Gengyi interrupted directly: "If you don't know, then how do you know that this pistol belongs to President Kojima? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the first reaction be that I, a stranger, brought it in?"
The air became silent for a moment.
Conan opened his big eyes and suddenly stared back at the middle-aged man beside him.
Secret cold sweat broke out on Secretary Nojima's forehead, and his expression finally showed the frustration that ordinary people feel when their lies are exposed. His lips moved slightly as he explained:
"Yes... I know that this pistol belongs to President Kojima, because... I was the one who purchased it, but! Please believe me, the fact that he stepped on the stairs and fell down really had nothing to do with me! "
After a few minutes of buffering, his voice was no longer hoarse, but still very deep.
He looked up at Ye Gengyi with eyes full of sadness, and the corners of his pursed mouth turned a little blue due to excessive exertion.
It doesn’t sound like he was lying this time... So, the previous series of actions were just actions to protect one’s own safety...
Ye Gengyi made a brief analysis, then walked back to his desk and took out a scrawled notice letter from the drawer.
Speaking of which, I really can't blame him.
After all, I was originally just here to investigate the 'empty stamping' incident, but I found a pistol and this letter in the victim's drawer:
[We, the world's first-class warriors with a foot of five feet, have confirmed their leadership - the band of thieves, a hundred ghosts walking at night. ]'s notice letter.
It is a reasonable judgment to suspect that the other party is a gang with dangerous weapons.
"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade?!" Conan came over, saw clearly the signature on it, and exclaimed: "Isn't this... the thieves and murder group!"
How come this kid knows everything? And... I can't change my habit of being startled every time.
When Ye Gengyi saw this piece of paper, he searched for the 'Hundred Ghosts of Night Bandits', but found no valuable reports at all.
However, considering that President Kojima is over 70 years old, it may be another incident from the past.
He pushed away the big head that blocked his view, tapped the table with his fingers, and signaled Secretary Nojima to come over. Although he didn't say any more threatening words, his eyes were filled with a kind of "You don't know, try another one?"
By the way, the reason why Ye Gengyi didn't take action now was not only because he didn't find any weapons on Secretary Nojima, but also because the person following him was Conan.
This kid's moral bottom line is very flexible. He is willing to conceal criminal evidence for the FBI because it is beneficial to both of them. If he were just to speed up the investigation, this kid might not be willing to help in front of the police.
Fortunately, Secretary Nojima was quite cooperative. He only glanced at the scrawled paper and whispered:
"I don't know how much you know about this 'Mr. Kojima Championship'... You will regard the wild boar scroll as a prize. It's not that the president accidentally lost the butterfly and deer as mentioned on his blog. In fact, those two scrolls It was stolen by the Hundred Ghosts of Night Thieves half a year ago. At that time, the Boar Scroll happened to be sent for repair, so it was able to escape..."
"Are there any victims?" Conan's heart trembled.
Even if you don't care about the two scrolls, which add up to more than 100 million yuan, but... it was the thieves and murderous group who stole them!
If President Kojima's family had been killed, then today's tournament, the pistol and the notice letter found by Genichi would most likely be a complete revenge.
At this time, Conan remembered the stairs and elevators that Brother Geng had always cared about.
Could it be that... Brother Gengyi has noticed the abnormality of the situation since then?
He was obviously the one who went to confirm the passage in person!
The gap...is that big?
Thinking of this, he became slightly distracted.
On the side, Secretary Nojima shook his head and sighed:
"No one was killed, whether it was the president, his wife, or the servants in the villa, they were all knocked unconscious by the sleeping gas... Only the president's pet dog had its throat slit with a sharp blade by the leader of the thieves group in the courtyard. "
That murderous group only killed one dog? !
It wasn't that Conan had no sympathy for other living beings, he just felt that it was very ridiculous and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"I really don't know this. But I heard from the president... because he didn't inhale a lot of sleeping gas at the time, so he still had a little bit of consciousness. It seemed that he heard the leader say something like this before he left... …”
Secretary Nojima paused and repeated: "For the sake of sharing the same surname, I will spare your lives... maybe we are distant relatives."
Same surname... Kojima. It turns out that this is the reason for holding this tournament, but there is still something strange. If it was an incident that happened half a year ago, and I was active as a high school student detective Kudo Shinichi, why didn't I remember it at all...
Conan frowned and expressed his doubts: "Such a vicious incident happened, why didn't there even be a report in the media?"
