"Uh...I didn't mean to..." After a moment of silence, Karl said innocently.
Miwako Sato lowered her head. The murderer on the ground was still bleeding from his neck. When he raised his head, Karl shrugged helplessly.
"Put your weapon down first."
Miwako Sato picked up the pistol that fell on the ground and became alert. She knew who Carl was. The Metropolitan Police officers had basically learned about the people around Hanyu Kiyosu.
Karl let go of his hand indifferently, and the metal table knife fell to the ground with a clanking sound.
"Conan, Officer Sato, are you okay?"
It seems like a long time has passed, but it all happened in a short period of time. Mao Lilan only heard a chaotic noise, and then the voice of Miwako Sato talking.
"It's okay, Xiaolan, but don't come out yet and wait a while." Miwako Sato said quickly.
There is Karl with unknown intentions in front of him, and there are corpses on the ground with tragic death conditions, so it is not suitable for ordinary people to participate.
Miwako Sato vigilantly took out a handcuff from her waist and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Please do not overreact. As long as you did not intentionally kill someone, there will be no problems after the situation is found out."
Karl nodded slightly, stretched out his hand for her to cuff, and cuffed the other side to her own hand.
Taking advantage of this time, Conan had already raised his wrist and started to check the identity of the murderer by the light of the flashlight.
Pulling off the murderer's mask and woolen hat, Conan suddenly saw that it was Futo Kyosuke - the psychotherapist who behaved a little strangely just now.
The power supply has obviously been cut off and why is he still wearing a mask and woolen hat in a dark environment?
Conan was a little confused.
Then he saw Mao Lilan coming out with a flashlight, and he was surprised and said: "Sister Xiaolan, where did you get your flashlight?"
Mao Lilan shook the flashlight and said, "What are you talking about? I found it in the cabinet under the sink in the bathroom. After it suddenly turned dark, light came from the gap in the cabinet. I opened the cabinet and found it."
A flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and Conan instantly understood. The murderer wanted Xiaolan and Officer Sato to pick up the flashlights themselves, so that he could directly determine the target's location in the dark!
But he didn't wait until the flashlight came on, and instead heard the conversation between himself and others. He couldn't wait any longer, so he took the risk and tried to take action directly.
That's it... no wonder he wears a mask and a woolen hat...
etc!
Conan suddenly thought of the situation at the previous banquet. When Kyousuke Kazato introduced Sawaki Koi, he mentioned that the latter told him many rumors about Onmyoji, so Kyousuke Kazato would wear sunglasses on rainy days, in the dark. Don’t even show your face!
He probably knew that Onmyoji could get clues about the murderer from the dead!
"What are you thinking about?" Mao Lilan couldn't help but ask.
Conan's face was solemn, "The murderer should have known about Brother Hanyu's ability, but he still chose to go against the odds... I'm afraid there is some reason why he had to do this."
Just as he was talking, the lights came back on, and Miwako Sato had already called the police at the venue.
Conan only felt the floor shaking violently, as if there was an earthquake. He looked up and saw a swarm of people on the other side of the corridor rushing over. They were all crazy and ferocious.
Seeing the blood on Miwako Sato's face from a distance, the police even went crazy on the spot.
"Where is that bastard? How dare you touch Miwako!!!"
"I'm going to cut him into pieces!!!"
"Miwako, don't be afraid, we are coming!!!"
"Officer Sato... I'll do it..." Takagi Wataru was caught in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by strong and sturdy men. His feet could hardly reach the ground, and he was being carried towards this side.
When the turbulent flow of people came to Miwako Sato, it was like hitting a dam, and the momentum suddenly stopped. Only Takagi Wataru, who was trapped, was still thrown out under the inertia, and landed on Miwako Sato.
Underfoot.
"Ah, Takagi, are you okay?" Miwako Sato stretched out her hand to help Takagi Wataru up, and dozens of sharp eyes pierced her.
Takagi Wataru's head was dripping with sweat, and he smiled dryly and asked concernedly: "Officer Sato is the one, are you okay? Where is the murderer? Is it the man in handcuffs?"
Karl was pointed out like this and immediately attracted the attention of all the police. Even with his psychological quality, he couldn't help but panic and couldn't help but explain:
"It was the president who asked me to monitor suspicious persons. I found out that the murderer was about to commit murder, so I stopped him, but something unexpected happened..."
As soon as the word "president" was mentioned, the policemen's momentum suddenly froze.
Miwako Sato quickly followed: "There is indeed some misunderstanding. I only handcuffed him for safety reasons. The murderer is this person on the ground."
The police officers lowered their heads to look at Fuudo Kyosuke, who was still staring blankly, and all snorted coldly, in a manner that said, "You must be dead, otherwise I will let you experience a life worse than death."
Takagi She was worried. We are all policemen. How could we have such dangerous ideas and not break the law...
Footsteps sounded again in the corridor, this time it was not a mess, Director Hakuba, Hanyu Kiyosu and others came quickly.
"Xiaolan! Are you okay?"
Mouri Kogoro rushed to Maori Lan in a panic, his tone almost crying. Although Feilili beside him was equally worried, he behaved more calmly.
Suzuki Sonoko, who was following Hanyu Kiyosu, was more calm. As long as the person was still there, Hanyu Kiyosu could treat the injury no matter how serious it was, so he was not too worried.
"Karl?" Hanyu Qing'an glanced at the scene and said in surprise when he saw the employee being handcuffed.
Director Hakuba was shocked. If an employee of President Hanyu committed the crime, it would be difficult to handle. No matter whether he enforces the law impartially or makes appropriate compromises, he would be in trouble.
"President." Calvados looked calm.
"What is going on here? Who can tell me what happened?" Director Baima asked with a frown.
The director, who had always shown a friendly attitude, suddenly spoke in a stern tone, and all the police officers were frightened. Miwako Sato also felt the pressure and quickly explained what happened.
Conan and Mao Lilan supplemented on the side, and Karl also explained a few sentences at the right time. Overall, there was no contradiction in everyone's opinions.
Everyone finally understood, so the "truth" is: Onmyoji's employees immediately discovered the murderer's intention to commit murder, and in a critical situation, they restrained the murderer with a table knife.
Miwako Sato, however, lacked vision and did not know the situation. She did not know that the murderer had been controlled, and thought she was still in danger.
Because he immediately took action to defend himself when his life was threatened, the actions of the two parties did not cooperate well, which led to the unfortunate death of the murderer.
After hearing this, Director Baima secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay, okay, but he still owes a favor. Forget it, no matter how much he owes, it's all debt. Just let the bosses have a headache.
"In this case, as long as the investigation of the case is clear, it will be fine. However, Mr. Karl may need to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate. President Hanyu, you see..." Director Hakuba asked tentatively.

Hanyu Qing'an pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There is a funeral commission tonight, and we need Karl. Let's check the case here on the spot. If there is any difficulty, I can help wake up the deceased to confront him."
After hitting a soft nail, the expressions of the police officers below were a little strange, but Director Hakuba didn't have much reaction. He nodded and said: "Then follow President Hanyu's wishes."
