Chapter 500 The hidden mastermind behind the scenes. Please vote for me.
After locking in the suspect, Conan's mind cleared and he remembered one thing:
"No wonder I always feel like something is wrong - it's my skin color!
"The administrator stays in the mountains all year round and is exposed to the sun. His skin should be as dark as that of the college student, but the administrator we met did not have much traces of sun exposure on his skin.
"Before, the light in the rest stop was dim, coupled with his white beard and hair, his abnormal skin color was not obvious. I thought it was because I had been looking at Brother Amuro for a long time, and suddenly I felt whiter when I looked at other people... so
It seems that the administrator is probably not a real staff member, but a fake."
Toru Amuro: "...?"
Although what this kid said was true, his fists became hardened as he listened...
He clicked his fingers and decided not to argue with the child.
At the same time, I thought to myself: In addition to the administrator who is responsible for preparing dinner and tea, other people also have the opportunity to throw sleeping pills into Jiang Xia's drinking water - just like this strange child sitting next to Jiang Xia during dinner...
And there is another question here. If the administrator put the medicine, why didn't he just put the medicine in the tea, knock everyone down, and then easily kill the client?
Looking at it this way, the administrator's suspicion has become smaller, and the suspicion of other people has increased - well, that's right, such as the strange kid next to him.
Toru Amuro thought of another little boy he had met.
The child who loves wearing scarves seems to like using anesthetics. In this case, wouldn't it be very reasonable for a child who likes to throw sleeping pills to come out now?
Toru Amuro briefly speculated on conspiracy.
Then for the time being, this suspicion of being mixed with private goods was put aside.
Putting aside the prejudice, I thought rationally that the attacker only targeted Jiang Xia, probably because he didn't want to reveal his identity immediately - if everyone was drugged, then unless everyone present was silenced, he would be responsible for drinking water the next day.
The administrator will immediately arouse suspicion. But if we only deal with Jiang Xia, if the attack just now is successful, then once Jiang Xia dies, no one will know that he drank sleeping pills before the autopsy. The administrator is convenient for drugging.
His identity is not easy to immediately arouse suspicion, and his behavior is much calmer.
And on another matter, the administrator is indeed more suspected than Conan:
"If the administrator is a fake, the motive behind the attack on the male college student would make sense - the student often comes to climb mountains and probably knows the real administrator, so the fake administrator received a call from the student to ask about the weather.
After the phone call, I realized that my identity might be exposed, so I took action in advance..."
In short, regardless of whether the fake administrator is a silver fox or the "home invasion murderer and robber" played on the radio, his problems seem to be quite big.
Fortunately, after the assassination attempt failed, their identities were not revealed, and there were other tourists around, the silver fox and the robbers should not act rashly.
Toru Amuro looked at the dark forest outside the cave.
They had just followed Etsuko Tokura's voice all the way here, and they didn't know the direction. Now if they went out in the dark, it would be easy to get lost. Besides, there are women and children here who need to be taken care of.
——Etsuko Tokura doesn't seem like she can act immediately. If she is carried behind her back, if the silver fox or the home invasion murderer is not at the rest stop but wandering in the mountains, they will easily be attacked because they will not be able to take action.
, suffered an accident.
If everything goes normally in Jiangxia, the problem of manpower shortage can be easily solved.
But Jiang Xia is now being plotted by an unknown mastermind. Although sleeping pills are not as incapacitating as anesthetics, they will inevitably be in a trance during the drug's effect, and their movements will be slower than usual. It is really dangerous to go out like this.
"Let's wait here for a moment." Toru Amuro looked at his watch, "It will be dawn in less than half an hour. We will find a way back then."
This might actually save more time than going out directly.
Jiang Xia nodded.
Conan has no problem with this either.
Etsuko Tokura hugged Jiang Xia and blew the mountain breeze for a while. The fear triggered by the dark rest stop gradually disappeared.
There is no signal here, no novel, and little progress in reasoning.
Conan looked at Etsuko Tokura boredly, remembering that this was a writer who was very high on his appreciation list, and took the initiative to chat: "No wonder you like to use the word 'narrow secret room that is difficult to escape' when describing some horror scenes."
The plot, it turns out you are afraid."
Toru Amuro has also read the novels of Etsuko Tokura.
Hearing this sentence, he looked at Conan: "There are many Chinese characters in Miss Tokura's novels, and most of them don't have phonetic notations. Can you understand them?"
"..."
Conan regained his composure and smiled, reflexively pulling up a shield: "My Chinese scores are very good, and when I can't understand, I can ask Brother Jiang Xia to read to me, hahaha."
"Oh." Toru Amuro said thoughtfully, "Is Jiang Xia so free?"
Conan froze slightly.
I almost forgot, this seems to be the boss of the office where Jiang Xia is working. It doesn’t seem right to say this in person...
So he hurriedly patched up: "Most of the time, I look for Sister Xiaolan..."
Toru Amuro nodded and did not continue to ask this question.
After discovering something suspicious about Conan, he actually asked his subordinates to investigate this strange child.
Then he discovered that there was no household registration for "Edogawa Conan" in Tokyo, and he and his parents found no such person.
At present, various places are not fully connected to the Internet, and the situation in other prefectures and counties needs to be investigated slowly.
If after checking, it is found that there is no Edogawa family anywhere else, then the elementary school student in front of me is a gangster with unknown origin...
In addition, according to investigations within Tokyo, the people claiming to be Conan's parents seem to be abroad, and their names and identities are unknown.
The Maori family that adopted Conan was a well-rounded family. One of the couple was a detective, the other was a lawyer, and their daughter was a top student with good conduct and no problems.
Dr. Ali, who was the first to come into contact with Conan, was also a scholar with a clear life experience.
Although from these aspects, even if there is a problem with Conan, it does not seem to be a big problem, but his origin is still a huge mystery that needs to be investigated.
Toru Amuro even suspected that by continuing the investigation, he might not only be able to find problems with Conan, but also other abnormal children - such as the kid wearing a scarf who had plotted against him.
Thinking in a more conspiracy theory direction, there may be a dark organization hiding in the darkness of society that gathers genius children and uses them for some unspeakable purpose...
While he frowned in thought, he subconsciously looked at Conan.
