Stay away from Conan

"So, now all the Mantian employees present have retrieved their briefcases from the storage room, but how to determine who is the murderer?"

Under the coordination of the president of Mantendo, all the Mantendo employees present were soon called together, and according to the instructions of Officer Megure, they all took their briefcases with their number plates. return.

However, looking at the current situation, Officer Megure still couldn't understand it. He turned to look at Mouri Kogoro and couldn't help but ask with doubts on his face.

"Officer Megure, didn't you notice?"

He quietly poked his face out from behind the pillar and looked at the briefcases held by the Mantian employees present. When he noticed the style of the briefcase in the hands of one of them, he couldn't help but smile, and then changed his voice to the bow. The machine continued to speak in Kogoro's voice:

"The briefcases used by employees of Mantiantian Company are all uniformly equipped by the company and bear the company's trademark. But now, the briefcase in someone's hand does not have that trademark..."

Having said this, Conan couldn't help but pause, and then said in an extremely serious tone:

"Mr. Nakajima, the briefcase you have been holding carefully since just now, can you explain why there is no Mantian Tian Company trademark on it now? When we first deposited it, we could see that it clearly It’s trademarked!”

Hearing this, Nakajima Hideaki's expression changed drastically, showing a panicked look, but he still subconsciously wanted to protect his briefcase, and his body couldn't help but take a half step back——

"Nakajima! Could it be you..."

Seeing Nakajima's reaction, President Mantendo couldn't help but asked with a look of horror.

"No, it's not me..."

Quickly waving his hands, Nakajima denied in a panic:

"I'm not a bomb-planting prisoner."

"Then let me check the briefcase!"

Seeing this, Officer Memu naturally saw that something was wrong, and then stepped forward with a serious face and said.

"no!"

Subconsciously, Nakajima held the briefcase in his arms and categorically objected, but looking at Officer Megure's expression, he couldn't help but panic and wanted to explain——

"this……"

"What does this have to do with it? Why don't you just show it to the police officer? There won't be anything important anyway."

Ueda on the side looked at Nakajima's coquettish look and couldn't help but said.

"But if there is a plan for a new game in it, just take it out like this..."

Takeshita wanted to explain at this moment, and then Nakajima immediately continued on the topic:

"Yeah, that's why we can't let others..."

Nakajima tried his best to explain, but Ueda grabbed the briefcase and shouted sharply:

"Idiot! You want to be treated as a suspect!"

But Nakajima still held the box tightly and didn’t want to let go——

"Let go!"

Seeing this, Takeshita looked at them grabbing the briefcase with a horrified look on his face, and then saw that the lock of the briefcase was not locked——

During the fight between the two, the lock of the briefcase was opened, and the contents inside were immediately poured out——

"ah!"

Subconsciously, Nakajima shouted when he saw this.

Ueda was very puzzled when he saw his excited expression.

As for Takeshita, after seeing the briefcase being opened, his face turned livid and he shouted in horror——

"Help!"

Then, subconsciously, Zhuxia squatted down and held his head, as if he was avoiding something.

——"Huh? Why is it all money?"

Seeing the piles of brand-new banknotes wrapped in paper tape that fell out of the briefcase, Nakajima squatted nervously and hugged the banknotes, as if he wanted to put them in his arms to protect them. Ueda Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel confused.

After hearing this, Takeshita turned his head to look at Nakajima with a face full of disbelief, and also showed a puzzled look on his horrified expression——

"Hmph... Officer Megure, how are you? This is really a good show!"

Looking at the current situation, Conan finally figured out all the details, so he said this.

"Brother Maori, what is going on? I am confused by this?"

Faced with the events that happened one after another before him, as well as the unusual reactions of Nakajima and Takeshita, Officer Megure scratched his head and asked completely incomprehensibly.

"What's wrong? Don't you understand this? Mr. Takeshita, you are the prisoner who planted the bomb!"

Conan shouted loudly in Kogoro's voice:

"It was precisely because he thought the bomb he planted in his briefcase was going to explode that he reacted this way."

"Bomb in briefcase?"

Officer Megure became even more confused about this statement.

"Yes, the logo on the briefcase found at the explosion site was curved toward the outside. This means that the impact of the explosion came from the inside, that is, the inside of the briefcase... Let me explain it from the beginning!"

Conan began to explain in Kogoro's voice:

"What I found strange at first was that I heard Conan say that he heard that the number plate used by the murdered man when he picked up the items from the storage room was actually the number '98'. You know, when he was queuing, The number plate I got in line was number '96', and the number plate Xiaolan got was exactly '100', so based on the situation at that time, the number between the two of us should be the middle number who jumped in the queue at that time. Mr. Shima, Mr. Takeshita and Mr. Ueda are the right ones.

"That means the person with the number plate '98' should be one of the three of you. But if that's the case, then why did the man go to the check-in office to pick up something with the number plate '98'? "

"Could it be that one of them happened to lose the number plate and the victim picked it up, and then the victim tried to claim it by pretending to have it?"

Officer Megure guessed.

"No, if that's the case, then one of them should have no number plate in his hand, which means it is impossible to withdraw anything from the depository. But the current situation is that they all have number plates in their hands. , and they all received things, so Officer Memu, what you said may not exist."

Kogoro's voice explained:

"Therefore, it is more likely that the two of them exchanged number plates than they lost their number plates. In other words, the briefcase in Mr. Nakajima's hand was actually the one the victim kept in the storage room. . About this, just ask the waitress at the check-in office and you will know!

"After all, the number plate Mr. Nakajima went to pick up the briefcase happened to be the last number among the number plates distributed. And because the victim's height was very distinctive, the waitress remembered it very clearly - the victim was after depositing his things. After that, I came back immediately to pick up the items.

"So, I think Mr. Nakajima knew the victim who was killed in the bombing, right? You are putting things in the storage room like this, and then secretly exchanging the things you brought by exchanging number plates—— That’s what’s called underground trading!”

"So that's it!"

Officer Memu suddenly realized, and then he thought about it and realized something was wrong——

"That's not right, Brother Mori. If you think about it this way, then the person who stored the bomb in the briefcase shouldn't be Mr. Nakajima who made the deal with the victim? How can you say that it was Mr. Takeshita who planted the bomb?"

Officer Megure said in confusion.

"That's another question, Officer Megure."

Conan continued in Kogoro's voice:

"At the explosion site, in addition to the trademark on the briefcase, wasn't there also a key to the briefcase? Officer Megure, which briefcase key do you think it is used to open?"

"Of course it's the briefcase at the scene, otherwise..."

He said it naturally, but when he thought of Kogoro's tone of voice, Officer Megure still changed his words in confusion:

"Isn't it?"

"Officer Megure, won't you know if you try it?"

Conan spoke in Kogoro's voice, but he couldn't explain the reason for his judgment——

The words "can't get in" and "it's open" that I heard on the bug should refer to the fact that the key did not match the keyhole of the briefcase, but the briefcase was not locked.

But since this was what was overheard, Conan couldn't say it openly, so he could only say it in a roundabout way.

"Technology Section!"

In response, Officer Megure quickly called the technical police officers at the scene and asked them to quickly compare the keys at the scene with the remaining keyholes found.

Due to the small size of these two things, they were directly blown away by the impact when they were exploded. Instead, they did not receive too much pressure and caused obvious deformation.

Therefore, after careful comparison, the police officers from the technical section came to a very definite conclusion:

"Officer Megure, this key cannot open this lock."

In response, Officer Megure quickly asked Kogoro:

"Brother Maori, what is going on!"

"Officer Megure, the format of this key is the same as the key to the briefcase issued by Mantendo Company, so this key is obviously used to open the lock on the briefcase... I think this is also the key that Mr. Nakajima and Mr. Was it given to the man along with the number plate? But now, since this key cannot open the lock on site, it can only mean one thing - the briefcase that the man got at the check-in office was not a fake one. Mr. Shima’s briefcase!”

Conan explained in Kogoro's voice:

"And if you want to know what's going on, you just need to find out who holds the briefcase with the key, and everything will be clear..."

"I see……"

Before he finished speaking, Takeshita Yunobu, who was still squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up with a cold face and said in disbelief:

"The explosion just now was the bomb I planted... Unfortunately, I also fabricated the threatening letter and wanted to pretend it was the work of a terrorist. I didn't expect..."

"Takeshita..."

Seeing this and hearing Takeshita's words, Ueda and Nakajima looked at him in disbelief.

"I want to find a briefcase that can be opened with this key... I think, if I guess correctly, it should be the one in my hand. It should be the Nakajima briefcase!"

As Takeshita said, he threw the briefcase directly to Officer Megure.

In response, Officer Megure stretched out his hand in a panic to pick up the briefcase. Taking this opportunity, Takeshita turned around and ran towards Nakajima. Then when Nakajima looked confused, Nakajima was pushed to the ground by Takeshita. Then Takeshita strangled his neck tightly and roared with a ferocious expression——

"Nakajima! You should be the one who should be killed! It was you who killed Yoshimi! Now, I have killed an innocent person anyway, so I have nothing to worry about!"

Shouting, Takeshita tried his best, even the veins on his face were bulging, and he strangled Nakajima's throat, watching him struggle with his face turning red due to the gradual suffocation.

However, after all, there was a police scene here. In full view of everyone, the police on the side immediately took action. Three or four police officers together forcibly pulled Takeshita away from Nakajima. At this point, Takeshita could only yell hysterically and was beaten. The police took away——

"so……"

After listening to Takeshita's words, Officer Megure finally understood the truth of the matter——

"Yes, it was Mr. Takeshita who wanted to blow up Mr. Nakajima with a bomb, so he should have installed the bomb in his briefcase, and then secretly used his number plate to follow them after they stored the briefcase in the storage room. Mr. Nakajima's number plate was changed, so that when Mr. Nakajima got the briefcase back, it would naturally be the briefcase with the bomb that Mr. Takeshita had prepared. After that, Mr. Nakajima opened the briefcase himself. will be blown up by a bomb."

Conan concluded in Kogoro's voice:

"It's just that Mr. Takeshita didn't expect that Mr. Nakajima didn't pick up his briefcase. Instead, he used the number plate to make a transaction with the victim, which resulted in the victim's death."

"So, the deceased died in vain..."

Officer Megure couldn't help but sigh a little bit about the truth of this incident. Then he looked at Takeshita who was being taken away and kept shouting the name "Yoshimi". He couldn't help but turned to Nakajima and Ueda and asked:

"Who is Liangmei?"

"She was the manager of our boxing club in college. She committed suicide after being dumped by Nakajima..."

Speaking of this old incident, Ueda also explained helplessly.

"Suicide? But why did Mr. Takeshita do it for this girl..."

Officer Megure said in confusion.

"Because Yoshimi was Takeshita's girlfriend originally, and they have been dating since middle school, but she didn't expect that she would be attracted by Nakajima when they arrived at university..."

Saying this, Ueda also felt a little resentful towards this old friend whom he had known for many years -

"So, Mr. Nakajima who narrowly escaped death?"

At this moment, Kogoro's serious voice sounded again:

"It's your turn to explain your affairs!"

"ah?"

Nakajima originally lowered his head in panic because of Ueda's words, but when Kogoro's words came out, his expression suddenly became extremely flustered——

"The man in black who made the deal with you...who is he?"

Roaring loudly, Conan shouted urgently, as if his suppressed emotions were about to burst out at this moment——

"this……"

Hearing this, Nakajima, who wanted to speak, took half a step back with a look of horror on his face, his eyes widened, and he seemed to feel an aura that frightened him even more——

"You chose such a covert method to conduct the transaction, and you also received such a generous reward... The transaction you conducted must be a shameful transaction!"

However, when Kogoro's voice sounded again, the tone in his tone had lost the strong emotion just now, and instead sounded a bit like a girl's tone——

It turned out that when she realized that Conan's emotions were about to become uncontrollable, Xiao Ai hurried to Conan's location and snatched Conan's bow-tie voice changer. She didn't give him a chance to continue speaking, so Xiao Ai took the rest. The following content was asked in this way.

In this regard, seeing Xiao Ai's reaction, Conan, who had suppressed his emotions and wanted to ask in one breath, wanted to take the voice changer back again, but saw Xiao Ai suddenly look coldly with a warning look in his eyes. After looking at himself, Conan, who didn't want to get involved with Xiao Ai, snorted coldly and simply ran out from behind the pillar. He took the key from Officer Memu's hand and was about to open the briefcase——

"Conan!"

Officer Megure couldn't help being shocked by Conan's behavior, but when he saw that the opened briefcase contained a series of documents with various names and relevant resume introductions, so Officer Megure also He asked Nakajima in confusion——

"What are these things? Why did that man spend so much money to buy these things!"

As a police officer, Officer Megure seemed to sense something was wrong.

"These... I secretly brought out from the company... a list of outstanding computer software designers around the world... I don't know why they spent a lot of money to acquire these..."

Seeing that the matter had been exposed to the police, Nakajima simply confessed.

Listening to the tone of his words, Conan frowned slightly and asked directly without hesitation:

"Them? Who are they! How much do you know about them!"

In response, Xiao Ai turned off the voice changer behind the pillar with a helpless expression, and let out a long sigh——

After all, he still couldn't stop him... However, this person named Nakajima probably didn't know what was going on. After all, the organization would not casually disclose information about the organization to unrelated people...

"I really don't know anything..."

Probably because of today's successive encounters, Nakajima was mentally exhausted. After being questioned by the children, he simply confessed:

"It's just that the location of each meeting is fixed, which is the bar called 'Cocktail' on the top floor of the Dahei Building on Mihua Street."

After hearing this, it seemed that he finally found some useful clues. Conan simply ran out and ran towards the outside of the hotel——

"Edogawa!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ai looked panicked and hurriedly chased Conan——

A "cocktail" bar? That is a common meeting place for the organization, and it is also said that it is suspected to be the base of an intelligence expert of the organization. If you go there so rashly...

Unable to imagine the consequences, Xiao Ai knew that she had to stop Conan.

However, when Conan arrived at the door, he saw Dr. Ari's golden Beetle parked at the door——

"PhD!"

Seeing that Dr. Ali was here, Conan opened the car door directly, got into the car, and hurriedly shouted:

"Dahei Building on Mihua Street! Send me there quickly!"

"Xin, Xinyi..."

In this regard, Dr. A Li was a little surprised that Conan suddenly got into the car, but he saw Xiao Ai coming out of the hotel quickly, and after getting in the car, he shouted directly to Dr. A Li:

"Dr. Ali, you must not go to that bar..."

"Stop talking!"

Conan saw Xiao Ai trying to stop him like this, and shouted at Xiao Ai very angrily:

"I finally found some clues, how could I just give up like that!"

"Bang——"

However, as soon as Conan finished speaking, a huge explosion sound came directly from the distance——

"That direction...is the Dahei Building!"

Conan said in shock.

Because the Rice Flower Hotel where he is now is at one end of Rice Flower Street, even with the naked eye, Conan can see the top floor of a building not far away. There is billowing smoke and fire at this time. It seems that something has happened. explode!

"Doctor, come over quickly!"

Although he had already guessed what happened, he was still a little unwilling to do so. Conan shouted to Dr. Agasa.

But now that the matter has come to an end, Xiao Ai no longer wants to stop him - anyway, if he goes there now, he will definitely find nothing!

So, when Conan and others came to the downstairs of the Dahei Building and saw that the entire top floor of the building was blown up, Conan, who was very unwilling, thought of another clue -

That is, the university professor named Hirota Masami!

…

"Although it happened unexpectedly, I had a plan after all... Hey, don't worry if you leave this kind of thing to me."

At this time, outside the Dahei Building, a man wearing a light-colored suit, short blond hair, and dark skin was talking on the phone. He walked straight through the crowd and said to the person on the other end of the phone...
