Stay away from Conan

"Edogawa!"

Seeing Conan's panicked face and running towards the source of the explosion so desperately, Xiao Ai subconsciously wanted to stop him.

But when she thought of the sound coming back from the bugging device and guessed the possible situation, Xiao Ai couldn't help but run over -

No way! That explosion distance!

Somewhat unbelievably, following Conan, Xiao Ai quickly arrived at the location where the explosion occurred - in front of a toilet door on this floor -

At this moment, because of the explosion, the entire toilet was in a mess. The partitions, walls and other objects inside were all shattered all over the floor due to the impact of the explosion.

The surviving people around them all looked frightened, as if they had escaped a disaster. They looked at the explosion scene in horror, and were too scared to approach it at all.

But unlike them, Conan showed an unwilling expression and rushed straight into the explosion site and began to search everywhere.

Behind him, Hideaki Nakajima, Koji Ueda, and Yunobu Takeshita, who also came after hearing the explosion, saw the horrific explosion scene and Conan rushing in, Yunobu Takeshita couldn't help but said in a hurry:

"Wait a minute! Little brother! It's dangerous!"

However, Conan completely ignored such advice, and soon he saw something that surprised him from the ruins of the blown-out compartment——

That's a shoe.

It's the same shoe "Tequila" is wearing.

Moreover, under the shoe, Conan also saw the sticker-type tracker that he secretly glued on——

"Little brother, it's very dangerous here, get out quickly!"

Takeshita walked behind Conan at this time and advised with some fear.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Conan turned his back to the people behind him, took back the tracker on the sole of his shoe, and then punched the ground with great displeasure——

"That guy was actually involved in this explosion... Damn it! It took a lot of effort to find such a little clue, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen!"

With such a sigh in his heart, Conan lowered his head and stood up expressionlessly. As if suppressing his extremely unwilling emotions, Conan slowly stood up and walked out of the explosion scene——

"How's it going? He...has really..."

Seeing Conan's expression at this time, Xiao Ai stepped forward anxiously and pulled him aside, asking in a low voice.

In response to this, Conan nodded with a low expression, then looked at Xiao Ai with some seriousness, and couldn't help but ask:

"Do you know anything about 'tequila'?"

However, it seems that because "Tequila", the organization's codename, died inexplicably, Xiao Ai still felt a little unreal about this sudden scene, so she did not immediately respond to Conan's inquiry. respond——

"Um……"

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Ai finally came back to her senses and said with some disbelief:

"Although I have never seen him, I have at least heard of this codename...'Tequila'. As far as I know, although he is a member with a codename, his status in the organization is not high, but because of his work He is very reliable, so he has won the trust of many high-level officials... Moreover, I heard that he is also a very skilled killer... I really can't believe that such a person would die here..."

"yes……"

Conan also nodded in agreement with some seriousness, then reached out to touch his chin, thinking deeply and said:

"Did he get involved by chance...or was he deliberately designed to be silenced..."

"Quiet?"

Regarding this statement, Xiao Ai couldn't help but think deeply for a while, shook her head, and responded:

"It shouldn't be possible. Based on what I just heard, it seems that he was helping Gin and the others to complete the deal with someone. There is no reason for the organization to kill him before handing over the items in the deal... …”

"trade……"

Hearing Xiao Ai mention this, Conan couldn't help but think of something and murmured:

"Speaking of which, he said that before the explosion..."

——Why can’t you get in... Huh? Is it open?

"In this case, could this incident..."

Conan seems to have some ideas, he said...

…

"terrorist?"

When Officer Megure received the report and came to the scene and heard the report results given by Takagi Wataru, Officer Megure couldn't help feeling a little nervous and said.

"Yes. According to the president of Mantiantian Company, who is holding a press conference on this floor, he received a strange threatening letter two days ago."

Takagi Wataru said, handing the threatening letter as evidence to Officer Megure.

Taking the letter and looking at the threatening words pasted on it with words cut out from newspapers, Officer Megu couldn't help but said angrily:

"In that case, why didn't you call the police immediately when you received the letter?"

"It seems that the president thought it was sent by a hostile company and wanted to disrupt the press conference as a prank, so he didn't call the police, but he didn't expect that it would actually happen today..."

Hearing Officer Megure's furious roar, Takagi Wataru, who was the first to bear the brunt, couldn't help but respond with a helpless expression.

"So, can we pinpoint the location of the explosion now?"

For a moment, Officer Memu, who felt very dizzy, looked at the technical police officer who had completed the preliminary investigation of the scene and asked involuntarily.

"Yes, police department. The explosion occurred in the sit-down restroom by the window. I think a bomb may have been installed on the restroom door or somewhere, and then after someone opened the door and entered, the mechanism was triggered. This detonated the bomb and caused this incident."

The technical police officer in charge of the on-site investigation came to this conclusion after analyzing the conditions at the scene.

"That's a terrorist attack that kills people immediately and causes panic..."

Hearing this, Officer Memu frowned deeply, and then asked:

"Has the identity of the victim been found out?"

"this……"

In response to this, the police officer in charge of the investigation couldn't help but look embarrassed and said helplessly:

"Because it was blown to pieces, nothing sufficient to prove the identity has been found so far. We can only learn from the witnesses at the scene that before the incident, a tall man entered the toilet..."

"That's it..."

After hearing the word "blown to pieces," Officer Megure also felt that it might be difficult to confirm the identity of the victim. However, for the sake of safety, Officer Megure still asked the person who had entered the scene. Nakajima, Takeshita, and Ueda asked:

"So you who were the first to come over after the incident, did you see any suspicious characters?"

"Well...there is no suspicious person..."

When Officer Megure asked this question, Koji Ueda looked around at Nakajima Hideaki and Takeshita Yunobu, and then answered with some lingering fear.

"Um……"

"yes……"

Hideaki Nakajima and Yunobu Takeshita also responded.

"But if I have to say it, this little brother entered the scene earlier than us..."

Koji Ueda suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but pointed at Conan who had slipped here at some point and said.

"Ke...Conan!"

In this regard, when Officer Megure saw Conan appearing here, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression and said:

"How will you be here?"

"Ah, Officer Megure, I seem to have seen the deceased!"

Conan couldn't help but raise his head and explained.

"Really! Conan!"

Hearing this, Officer Memu couldn't help but become extremely serious and asked him.

"kindness."

Conan nodded and said:

"As for the tall man, I accidentally bumped into him in the corridor over there just now. He was an uncle over two meters tall, probably from Kansai... By the way! I also saw him Got a briefcase over the counter!"

"briefcase?"

Upon hearing this clue, Officer Megure turned to look at the technical police officer on the side and immediately asked:

"Have you found anything similar to a briefcase?"

"Yes……"

The police officer couldn't help but nodded and confirmed:

"We did find the remains of what appeared to be a briefcase... and we also found a key and a sign."

With that said, the police officer took out a round iron sign that had been bent by external forces from a pile of evidence collected on the side. On this sign, there was a "Mantian Game Company" printed on it. trademark——

"It's true..."

When he officially saw the sign and noticed that it was bent outwards, Conan was convinced that his reasoning was correct, so he quietly walked away while Officer Megure and the others focused on the sign. .

"this……"

Looking at the trademark he got, Officer Megure couldn't help but look at Nakajima and the others aside, frowning and asking:

"Is it your company's trademark?"

"Ah, indeed...this is the same as the trademark on the briefcase issued by our company."

"Then who has this briefcase?"

When Officer Megure heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"As long as they are from our company, they are all there..."

Ueda couldn't help but say.

"So, the deceased who can hold this briefcase must be an employee of your company?"

Having said this, Officer Memu felt that the situation had finally turned around.

"That's right..."

Ueda said a little embarrassed. At the same time, he couldn't help but look at the other two colleagues and asked a little strangely:

"But, are there any Kansai people who are two meters tall in our company?"

"have no idea……"

Takeshita thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Could it be...a guest who came here today?"

Nakajima tentatively suggested a possibility.

"Um……"

Hearing the answers from these three people, Officer Memu pondered for a while, and then couldn't help but say:

"Since Conan said that the victim took the briefcase at the counter, let's go to the counter and ask first!"

With that said, Officer Megure led some police officers and Nakajima and the three of them towards the check-in counter in front of the venue.

At the same time, Conan, who had left the explosion scene in advance, had already arrived at the counter of the check-in office. He jumped on the counter, put his hands on the table, and asked the waiter:

"Excuse me, apart from the very tall man in black clothes, is there anyone else here to pick up the items?"

"Ah, this... let me take a look..."

When asked by a little boy, out of politeness, the waitress looked at the withdrawal record and then replied:

"Except for that man's accident, no one came to pick up the luggage..."

"real?"

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but reveal a smile——

From this point of view, we will immediately know who is trading with "Tequila"...and maybe we can get more clues from him!

Thinking like this, Conan was about to say thank you and leave, but the waitress thought of something, and said casually with emotion:

"By the way, that person is indeed very strange. He just left the things and came to pick them up right away..."

In this regard, Conan was further convinced of his conjecture, so next——

"There is still a chance! The clues are not all broken!"

Feeling a little surprised in his heart, Conan smiled and ran away.

However, Xiao Ai, who had been watching Conan's actions the whole time, had a slightly solemn expression.

Looking at the mobile phone in her hand, Xiao Ai tried to continue dialing Gao Yuan's number, but the message sent back from the mobile phone was always a prompt tone like "the other party has turned off"——

"Gao Yuan...where are you now..."

Thinking that Hirota Masami's name was mentioned in the call between "Tequila" and Vodka just now, Xiao Ai couldn't feel at ease no matter what -

"Since...Gin and the others are not in Japan right now..."

Recalling that the previous phone call seemed to mention that Gin and the others were not in Japan, and "Tequila" who was assigned to go to Hirota Masami's house tonight died unexpectedly, then maybe...

Thinking like this, Xiao Ai opened the address book on her phone and looked at the contact information of only a few people except for a few members of the Youth Detective Team. Finally, Xiao Ai dialed Dr. A Li's number...

"Xiao Ai, are you here? Where are the Conan people?"

Shortly after Xiao Ai finished the call, Xiao Lan's voice suddenly came from behind. Looking back, she saw Xiao Lan walking towards her with an anxious look on her face, leaning down and asking.

At the same time, due to the explosion, the ongoing press conference had to be suspended, and all the participants were called into the hall for questioning. Of course, Mouri Kogoro, who still looked dizzy due to hangover, also stopped. He came out of the venue and leaned against the wall listlessly.

Xiao Ai, who was about to reply casually, suddenly saw from her perspective that Conan was hiding behind a pillar on the side, holding the watch-shaped anesthesia gun and pointing it in the direction of Kogoro.

At this time, Xiaolan was constantly looking around, as if looking for Conan, and was about to see where Conan was at this time——

"Edogawa seems to have gone over there."

Xiao Ai couldn't help but say this, pointed in another direction, and diverted Xiao Lan's eyes.

"Huh? At this time, don't run around!"

Xiaolan seemed a little worried when she heard what Xiaoai said, and walked towards the direction Xiaoai pointed.

Then, as if he noticed Xiao Ai's actions, Conan fired the anesthesia needle directly at Kogoro without hesitation——

"Officer Megure, I already know the truth about this whole thing!"

While Officer Megure was asking questions in the hall, Mouri Kogoro's voice came from the wall on the side.

"Maori brother!"

Seeing Kogoro actually appearing here, Officer Megure said as if he had found a treasure, and then hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"You know what this terrorist attack is about!"

"No, Officer Megure, this is not a terrorist attack, but a premeditated murder!"

Using Kogoro's voice, Conan hid behind a pillar and explained.

"Murder!"

Hearing this word, Officer Memu was surprised and couldn't help but ask:

"Then...do you know who the murderer is?"

"We don't know yet...but if we do one thing, the murderer will be revealed!"

Conan suppressed the emotions in his heart, but still urged with some urgency:

"As long as all the Mantian employees present today take back the briefcases they left in the storage room, we will know who killed that man with a bomb!"

"Everything?"

Officer Megure frowned.

"Yes, everything."

Conan said affirmatively.

…

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

While Conan and the others were deducing the explosion at the Rice Krispies Hotel, Gao Yuan's light blue "MINI" car was driving very fast on the road from Tokyo to Shizuoka.

In the car, Shirozuka Jade pouted with a depressed look on his face. Looking at Gao Yuan who was driving the car almost to the maximum speed limit of the road, he couldn't help but say:

"Even if you want to confirm the news, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right Mr. Mingzhi? And..."

As he spoke, Shirozuka Jade covered his lips with his hand, closed his eyes slightly, revealed a blurred look, and made a yawning sound. Then he put his hand down and murmured:

"Don't you think it's a bit overwhelming to ask a girl like me to accompany you to such a far place in the middle of the night? Besides, even if you have passed this time, there probably won't be anyone at Nanyang University, right?"

"Because the situation is urgent, I have no choice but to do it, Shirozuka Hisui-san!"

Gao Yuan stepped on the accelerator to maintain the speed of the car, and replied eagerly:

"What you said is too important to me...so I need you to go with me to confirm."

——And, there is one thing, now that I think of it, I must deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that it will change if it is too late!

"what the hell……"

Regarding Gao Yuan's words, Shirozuka Jade was slightly dissatisfied as she kicked her legs in the car and muttered angrily:

"Everyone has been despised by you, but you still don't trust them..."
