Chapter 222 Prelude to the Final Chapter

"Huh? Why did you two go back to your car after getting off the car?"

The Mumu Police Department looked at the surveillance video and raised their own questions.

"I just went to get my wallet..."

"Because every time we play golf, this gentleman helps us pay for it..."

The tall man pointed at the bearded man.

"Moreover, if you look closely, we don't even make any move to pull anything, right?"

"Well..." Police Department Megure recounted what happened, "Then the three of you went shopping in a department store together. No one came close to the car until someone came back to the car to pick up a mobile phone an hour later..."

The Mumu Police Department watched the surveillance video played at double speed, and their suspicions about the three men weakened.

"What if you had already worked together to strangle him before getting out of the car?"

The voice of a female high school student full of youthful atmosphere sounded in several people's ears.

The Mumu Police Department looked at the person and opened their eyes in surprise.

"Garden?"

He was quite impressed by this friend of Xiaolan who had helped them solve several cases before.

"Queen of Reasoning Sonoko is here to help solve the case!"

Sonoko put one hand on her hips and raised the other hand high and waved it.

[Although what Sonoko said makes sense, if they were colluding, they would not have rashly called the police if they were highly suspected... Moreover, the three of them got out of the car almost at the same time, and when they returned to their own car, they

There are no strange movements...]

[I don’t understand...how did the prisoner strangle Mr. Banba to death and then take the murder weapon away?]

Conan gritted his teeth, feeling that this was really incredible.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Teacher Judy staring closely at the surveillance video, and his heart tightened.

If she had to watch it again because she had no clue about the case, this woman would definitely find out that Teacher Yuan and Haibara were in the parking lot just now!

"Damn it, we have to solve it quickly..."

"Memu Police Department! Photos of the three suspects inside the car have been developed!"

Just when Conan couldn't find the point where he could break the situation, a police officer from the forensics department ran in, holding three stacks of photos in his hand.

"Put them all here!" Police Department Meguro motioned and placed the photos on the table in front of him.

Conan immediately moved closer, looking at the three stacks of photos, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

【This is it!】



In the hospital inside Dongdu Department Store.

An amiable female doctor with gray hair was examining Haiyuan Ai.

Yuan Huaiyu stood by the window nearby and looked down.

The center of his sight was the inconspicuous black knitted hat.

"Akai Shuichi..."

As he expected, when Shuichi Akai, who had been secretly tracking and protecting Haibara Ai, saw Conan appear on a TV show, it was not difficult to guess that Haibara Ai was also nearby.

The current situation is that he and Judy Stelling are closely monitoring the new doctor who has occupied Belmod's nest, and are locking in on Belmod's movements.

And after Belmode treated Haihara Ai this morning as a new doctor, she also had the biggest gain - she finally found her goal.

The picture with a cross on it that Belmore had posted behind the mirror, and which appeared to be his target, had already been circulated among important figures in the FBI.

For them, whatever the black organization wants to do, they have to find ways to obstruct, interfere, and protect the target that the black organization is about to attack.

After a period of tracking, Akai Shuichi has confirmed that Haibara Ai is Miyano Shiho, the sister of his ex-girlfriend Miyano Akemi, and Sherry, who is also a former scientist of the organization.

However, because the girl with the pseudonym Haihara Ai was often accompanied by a man whom he could not see clearly, he always kept a distance and did not dare to approach easily.

On the other side, Teacher Judy is becoming more and more interested in the girl named "Xiao Ai" in Conan's mouth.

If she remembered correctly, in the previous bus robber case, there was a little girl who kept her head down and couldn't see her face clearly.

She always felt that she had a familiar feeling about this girl, and she didn't make any association at first. However, during the process of sneaking into the new doctor's house, she suddenly realized that the woman in Belmore's photo was actually the same as that girl.

The little girls are so similar!

"By the way, Xiaolan, you just said that Conan is going to visit a girl named 'Xiao Ai' today, right? What kind of child is that?"

Teacher Judy asked Mao Lilan in a low voice while others were not paying attention.

"Xiao Ai...she makes me feel quite calm...she is more like an adult than a child..."

Mao Lilan took out her mobile phone: "I remember that I took photos when I went out with Xiao Ai last time. There should be photos saved in my mobile phone..."

Conan, who already had a clue and basically determined the method of committing the crime and the culprit, happened to not see this scene. He looked at the Megure Police Department, Sonoko, and the three suspects who were clamoring that he could not strangle Mr. Banba without anyone noticing.

said:

"In that case, how about we go back to the location of the car and take a look? Maybe there will be some new clues?"

Naturally, his words were just a cover, and his purpose was to lure his crime-solving tool, Ren Yuanzi, to a place where he could conveniently anesthetize him.

"Sister Yuanzi is a famous detective. Maybe she will make more new discoveries! Let's start with Miss Taishan's car on the far right! Can I borrow the car key?"

He gently patted the woman's Porsche.

"Ah, okay..." The woman named Taishan nervously handed the key to Conan.

Conan thoughtfully opened the car door for Yuanzi: "Please! Sister Yuanzi."

"Hmm..." Yuanzi sat on the driver's seat and glanced roughly, "It seems to be a very high-end car, but there is nothing special about it..."

Suddenly, an anesthesia needle came suddenly from behind her and laid her down on the driver's seat.

"Could it be that..." Officer Takagi and Xiaolan looked at Yuanzi sleeping, their faces growing more expectant.

"Yes, I already know everything about the method of strangling Mr. Banba who was sitting in the passenger seat, and who the criminal who killed him is..."

"But Yuanzi... do you really know? I'm just sitting in the car..." Xiaolan looked at her best friend in disbelief.

"After I sat in the car, I understood everything. Look, isn't there a very thin groove on the car window? It feels prickly when you touch it."

Yuanzi's voice was understated: "The prisoner is the owner of this Porsche Boxster - Ms. Taishan - you!"



"Oh, sir, is this little girl your sister?"

The kind-hearted old doctor looked at Yuan Huaiyu who was sitting next to Hui Yuan Ai, and warned carefully:

"Her cold is not very serious. I will prescribe some medicine for you. You should take her back and have a good rest for a few days and she should be fine. Oh, by the way, her mental state is not very good, which makes her physically weak. It may be due to the cold.

The cold wind caused her to catch a cold."

"Although I don't know why a girl who has just entered elementary school is in such an unstable mental state, I still suggest that you, her family members, spend more time with her..."

"I understand. Did you hear me? Xiao Ai, please relax and stay up less late..." Yuan Huaiyu turned his eyes from Xiao Ai to this dear doctor, "Don't worry, I will definitely stay with her more."

.”

"Hmm..." Hui Yuan Ai responded with a blush.

Not long after leaving the hospital with Haiyuan Ai, Yuan Huaiyu received a call from Dr. A Li.

"Dr. Ali, I just came out of the hospital with Xiao Ai. What's wrong? Oh? The case has been solved? That's really good... As expected of a great detective, his work efficiency is very high. By the way, he didn't do anything

Something went wrong?"

Yuan Huaiyu hung up the phone and explained to Haiyuan Ai: "Conan has solved the case. The murderer used the mechanical pull of his Porsche window to drive the fishing line and strangled the man. The motive seemed to be for his brother who died.

revenge."

"Dr. Ali said that there is a dangerous and suspicious person at the scene, the teacher Judy whom we met on the bus before. He told us not to go back to the parking lot and leave this place directly."

"In that case, why don't you go to my house and take a rest first? How are you doing now? I'll carry you on my back."

Yuan Huaiyu made a move to squat down, but Huiyuan Ai shook his head: "No need. I'm not at the point where I can't walk at all."

While talking, she inadvertently took Yuan Huaiyu's wrist and walked towards the road.



In a certain room, Belmore, who had just taken a shower, had her wet hair spread out, wearing a light gauze nightgown and a fur coat to prevent herself from catching a cold.

On the table in front of her was a newly opened bottle of wine, as well as some professional eavesdropping equipment.

She poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip, stood up and walked towards the dart board hanging on the wall.

On the dart board, a dart pierced the photo and was nailed to the wall.

"Are you ready...I'm going to find you?"

Belmore smiled and took off the photo, lit it with a lighter, and watched as the photo of Shirley, a traitor to the organization, was gradually engulfed in flames.

A smile appeared on her face, but soon the corners of her mouth drooped, and the pleasant smile turned a little bitter.

This morning, she confirmed that Shirley was the little girl in the red hat on the bus at that time, and learned that she should have taken APTX-4869 like Kudo Shinichi, and her body went back ten years...

This was a very happy thing, because she finally found her goal, which meant that she was able to make plans in the dark to get rid of the woman she hated.

only……

"If this is the case, and I am not good for Shirley, what will Mr. Chun do..."

She became a teacher in Kudo Shinichi's class after she knew that Yuan Huaiyu was shrinking. When she thought of Mr. Chun's protective measures for the students, she felt that Mr. Chun, who was supposed to be on the organization's side, seemed to be the biggest potential obstacle to her actions.

"And those guys from the FBI... I hope Mr. Chun won't interfere with me..."

Thinking of the haunting FBI again, Belmode's expression was uncertain under the flickering light of the burning photo.

After a long time, she picked up the mobile phone beside her and sent a message to a certain number.

"There was no need for you to take action... However, it would be faster for you to solve the problem with one shot... If we can cut through the mess quickly, Mr. Chun and I should not fall out with each other because of our relationship..."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Calvados..."



The case in the underground parking lot came to an end quickly. Conan and Dr. A Li both breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Yuan Huaiyu and Haihara Ai were safe and no suspicious characters were following them.

After Judy Stelling said goodbye to Xiaolan and Yuanzi, they returned to their car in another parking lot not far away.

She leaned on the steering wheel, her thoughts rushing to her mind, and a scene from her childhood came to mind again.

It was a gloomy and depressing rainy day, and she, who was still very young, took her rabbit doll and wanted to go and play with her father.

When she arrived at her father's study, she saw her father lying motionless on the ground. A woman covered in black squatted beside her father. She heard the noise and turned to look at her.

The words that the woman said at that time are still on her lips to this day, reminding her not to forget the murder of her father.

Faintly, she seemed to have fallen asleep, but suddenly woke up. After looking around and finding nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief, took off her glasses and started wiping them.

Putting on her bright and new eyes, she closed her eyes and whispered to herself:

"It's time to end this grudge..."

"Everything should be over within a week... Before that, I have to say goodbye to my identity as a teacher..."



Time flies by quickly, and what is supposed to come will eventually come.

"Untimely Halloween?"

In the Mori Detective Agency, Mori Kogoro and his daughter Xiaolan were sitting opposite each other eating dinner. He picked up a piece of rice cake and asked in a puzzled tone.

"Do you know what month it is now? Halloween is October 31st!"

"So didn't I say it? It's inappropriate..." Mao Lilan picked up the newly received invitation letter.

"Okay...what's on that invitation?"

Mouri Kogoro asked inarticulately while chewing.

"Uh... the letter says..." Xiaolan quickly scanned the content of the letter, but hesitated when she spoke, "Incompetent Detective Mouri Kogoro, the full moon night is approaching, and I invite you to participate in a game.

A thrilling party, a bloody boat party..."

"Whether you are present or not, the poor dead lamb will curse its own fate, and the sinner will go unpunished..."

Mouri Kogoro's face looked ugly, and a big "well" appeared on his forehead.

"Ha, haha!" How could he not know what this invitation letter meant, "How dare you issue a challenge to my famous detective Mouri Kogoro... Where did the bastard send me such a thing?!"

"It seems to be a foreigner's name..." Xiaolan looked at the envelope and read out the curly word.

"Vermouth..."
