The scene of the incident in front of the stairs.
President Kojima has been carried to an ambulance by skilled medical staff.
Since the police call was made a little later, when Ye Gengyi, Conan and Secretary Nojima returned here, they did not see the police.
However, the investor's 'financier father' was allegedly pushed down the stairs. Such a bad incident naturally attracted the attention of the TV station leaders.
Of course, due to various considerations and lack of professionalism, they did not show up. Instead, they respected Secretary Nojima's deployment before leaving, emphasizing that on the premise of safety first, they arranged for their all-powerful subordinates to stay. While waiting for the ambulance crew to arrive at the scene, they should also guard the three suspects as much as possible to prevent them from leaving.
Thus, there was a scene where Ye Gengyi, Conan and Secretary Nojima saw three suspects blocked in the corridor by TV staff.
】
It would be better if the person didn’t leave...
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about how to find out the leader of the Hyakki Night Thieves who was hiding among the three.
Speaking of which... the word "品" for "一品" on the notice letter was too sloppy, and the three "mouths" were all drawn in an elliptical shape, so if you lay the paper sideways and read it, it would look very awkward. Like Arabic numerals 801 or 108...
Huh? Wait, 108?
I remember when I went to the sushi restaurant yesterday, Genta seemed to have mentioned that his father was an Edo man.
One hundred and eight...one hundred and eight...the Roman pronunciation is hyakuhachi, and when Edo men wanted to pronounce 'hya', they often pronounced it as 'sya'...syakuhachi...shakuhachi.
It turns out that if it was the leader of the theft gang, the only reason he came to participate in this tournament was to win the final championship prize.
Therefore, before he had a dispute with President Kojima, he must not have noticed that there was a problem. He only thought that he had a chance to win, so it was impossible and would never deliberately answer the test questions wrong, otherwise he would not have taken away the card with 'First Grade' written on it. paper and pushed the person down the stairs.
Conan walked and sorted out his thoughts.
The clues were already very obvious, and it didn't take long for him to target the murderer on player No. 147, Kojima Iwakichi.
"But what to do? He must have destroyed the piece of paper... Assuming that President Kojima dies, the police will have no evidence and only rely on these reasonings, and it will be impossible to investigate a person. In that case, I’m afraid that before the Kojima Group exerts pressure, Kojima Iwakichi will flee overseas..."
Damn it! You know he is the murderer, but you can't bring him to justice?
Conan couldn't help but think of Gin's members of the black organization. They clearly witnessed each other's crimes, but were helpless and unwilling to do anything about them.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the bathroom sign on the side of the corridor.
Of course, now is not the time to hide inside and cry on the excuse of having an upset stomach.
But Conan suddenly remembered the structural layout of the Japanese TV station in the floor plan diagram!
Because there are so many studios and in order to reduce unnecessary pipes, even the high-end office temporarily used by President Kojima on the third floor does not have a single bathroom!
In front of the public restroom on the third floor, it happened to be waxed and blocked.
In other words, if he wanted to destroy the piece of paper with 'First Grade' written on it, the murderer would have to come to the public restroom on the second floor, hide it in the lounge, or... swallow it directly!
There is a way!
"Brother Gengyi, listen to me..."
Conan made up his mind and was about to ask Ye Gengyi to cooperate with him to first make Kojima Iwakichi nervous, and then lied that the exam paper with "First Grade" written on it was actually made of highly toxic material in order to be beautiful and beautiful. Made of wood.
At that time, even people with a particularly strong psychological quality will have some changes in their expressions when they hear that they have taken poison by mistake.
In this way, through observation, I can judge whether the other party swallowed the piece of paper or tore it into pieces and hid it somewhere else on the third floor!
As a result, his words had just begun.
To the side, a figure quickly rushed towards the three suspects in front.
Hey hey! What does Brother Gengyi want to do? ?
Conan was shocked before his brain could function.
The next second, he saw a scene that stunned him.
"Leader of the Hundred Ghost Night Parade, go to hell!"
There were no hysterical roars, just calm, low-pitched declarations that contained strong murderous intent.
At the same time that these words reached his ears, Kojima Iwakichi also saw the young man with an indifferent face, saw him looking directly into his eyes, and saw him taking out a pistol from his pocket.
No wavering or self-doubt.
The guilty-minded leader of the Hundred Ghosts Night Thieves group let out an 'Ah' in horror, turned around and ran away.
He felt like he was going to die.
Goosebumps appeared on the body that was tense due to fear.
As he ran forward, his breathing became more intense, and his desire to survive almost overflowed from his chest.
However……
The gunshot never rang out.
In the senses, the young man with the strong posture did not catch up.
He stopped, turned his head stiffly, and saw the man in black standing in his previous position, talking to the man wearing reading glasses who was also one of the promotions.
In an instant, Kojima Iwakichi was completely stunned.
Here, I heard Ye Gengyi introduce himself.
Genta's father, Motoji Kojima, shows a cheerful personality that is different from his appearance.
He first stretched out his hand to shake Ye Geng's hand, and then said with a "haha" laugh:
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I often hear Yuanta mention you! Hahaha... That kid has caused you a lot of trouble."
"You're welcome. It just so happens that the doctor likes fun."
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly: "Originally, we made an appointment to come over and cheer for you, but depending on the situation, this event is destined to not be able to continue."
As he said that, he put the pistol back in his pocket and looked at the leader of the thieves group who still looked a little surprised:
"Don't run away, the police will be here soon."
"You...what nonsense are you talking about?" Kojima Iwakichi's expression suddenly changed, he stopped his subconscious retreat, and forcefully defended himself: "I saw you holding a pistol and charging over with murderous intent. Just now...just now it was just Scared!"
"Yeah?"
Ye Gengyi took out his hand from his pocket, walked forward, and said:
"Before not knowing whether President Kojima was pushed down the stairs, ordinary people would stand there in astonishment like them after hearing those dramatic lines... Only you, the person involved, can understand the pistol It’s true and what exactly I was trying to do just now.”
"You...don't come over!"
Staring at those cold, emotionless eyes that only he could see, Kojima Iwakichi's pale face was full of horror.
No, no... This person could really kill him at any time.
Strong uneasiness filled his nerves just as he tried to escape again.
Ye Gengyi's simple words made his legs feel as heavy as lead, and his whole body froze in place.
"Run. Whether you die in an accident or commit suicide by jumping off a building, it has nothing to do with me. After all... I was just walking in the corridor. Who can provide evidence to prove that I am chasing you."
