216. Ah, close confinement

The third floor of Princess Hotel, open-air restaurant.

The police blocked a human wall and personnel from the identification department inspected and took photos at the scene.

At this moment, a small figure rushed out from the gap in the human wall.

Officer Henggou, who was standing by, focused his eyes, rushed over and grabbed Conan's back collar: "Hey! Kid, don't make trouble!!...Eh?"

Conan, who was lifted up, looked back and was stunned: "Ah!"

Officer Henggou frowned: "Aren't you a boy from the Maori detective family...?"

Mao Lilan, who broke free from the police-style human wall not far away, was also surprised when she saw Officer Yokomori: "Are you...Officer Yokomori from Saitama Prefecture?"

Saitama Prefecture... is the place where the prisoner almost escaped using a photo from a year ago as an alibi...

After Xiaolan's reminder, Conan finally remembered who this familiar policeman uncle was.

But isn’t Officer Yokomori from Saitama Prefecture? And this is Izu, right?

"Why are you here?" Xiaolan also asked the question Conan wanted to ask at this time.

"Ah..." After saying this, Officer Henggou was scratched and replied with a smile: "That's right, I have been transferred to the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Department since last month..."

Not only was he transferred from a rural area to a big city, but he was also promoted from a criminal police officer to the police department! The reason why he was promoted was also thanks to Mouri Kogoro who helped him solve the case and caught the murderer. So Henggou Sengo is very important to him.

Mouri Kogoro and his family were very grateful, and of course they were much more polite when facing Xiaolan.

...But this does not mean that he can allow a child to act mischievously at a crime scene!!

In the middle of speaking, Officer Henggou turned his head as if there were eyes behind him and glared at Conan who had sneaked up to the body at some point, "Hey! You!!"

At the same time, Conan took off the mask of [Night Baron], revealing the familiar, tragic face underneath.

Xiaolan, who noticed Conan along with Officer Henggou, was shocked: "Jiang, Mr. Jiang Yuan?!"

Henggou was stunned for a moment: "Do you know the deceased?"

Xiaolan quickly replied: "Yes! We are all participants of [Izu Mysterious Tour]..."

Henggou: "Mysterious Journey?"

Here, Conan, who was once again ignored because Officer Henggou was focused on understanding the activities at Xiaolan's side, concentrated on examining the body.

Wearing the clothes of [Night Baron]... there is only one glove... the belt is buckled incorrectly... the tie... a playing card of Jack of Spades...

Hmm? Playing cards?

Conan was stunned for a moment, and then, a playing card fell from his head again.

what happened?

Conan looked at it blankly, and in the night sky, a figure of a person fell among the playing cards flying in the sky. With a "bang", it landed next to the statue, and blood bloomed all over the ground.

Everything happened so suddenly, almost as soon as everyone noticed that someone was falling, the person hit the ground.

Another person died...

In front of the police...

In front of Conan and Xiaolan...

The playing cards all over the sky fell down, covering the person who had just been smashed down, covering her eyes that were fixed in death.

yes……

Akiko Sayama!!

Conan reacted immediately and raised his head to look upstairs. Unfortunately, in the rows of dazzling windows upstairs, there was no sign of anyone looking out.

But the murderer just dumped the body and must still be at the scene now!

Moreover, so many playing cards have almost given Conan the direction.

Gu Xi

That weird magician!!

Conan gritted his teeth and rushed into the building without saying a word.

"Conan!"

Xiaolan screamed and woke up the police. Seeing Conan rushing in, Officer Henggou immediately reacted and turned to his subordinates: "The murderer must still be in the building. Block the stairs and elevator quickly. Don't do it."

Let him run away!"

After saying that, Officer Henggou also rushed into the building.

After rushing in, Conan had given up on the elevator and rushed into the stairwell.

After Officer Henggou glanced at the elevator, he had the same reaction as Conan - the elevator's display showed that the elevator was rising and had just reached the 10th floor.

Normally, the murderer would not wait for the elevator while dumping the body in front of the police, so the most likely thing is that this guy would take the stairwell to other floors and blend in with the innocent guests.

Even if he did the opposite, it would be better. He arranged for people to guard the elevator to see which floors the elevator would stop. At that time, he focused on searching between these floors.

.

Of course, it would be better if the murderer was stupid enough to take the elevator to the first floor and just catch him.

Officer Henggou boasted that he had thought very carefully, but he ignored the possibility that a murderer might not be a normal person.

The murderer Shirai Soi is now taking another route - turning into an ant, attaching himself to the playing cards, following the playing cards as they sway from the 19th floor to the ground, then climb up the electric lamp and merge into Nuomi's body.

Then he fluttered and flew away from everyone's heads in a swaggering manner.



Ekoda, Shirai Suiko, who was sitting on the roof of a certain building watching Kaitou Kidd's performance tonight, suddenly sighed.

"Really, I just left for a short while..."

Baijiu, who likes to think of his puppets as humans, understood for the first time how uncontrollable the resentful spirits are.

He obviously said that he would abide by the rules of human society, but just because he had been obedient for so long, he was negligent and indulged, which led to the death of Akiko Sayama tonight.

It's also a murder. That time Shirai Sukuko committed suicide because of the bandage weirdo. It could only be considered an over-defense at best. But tonight Shirai Sake's murder was malicious...

"It seems like we need to lock him up for a while..."

Baijiu is even a little glad that there is no master in this world, otherwise, just this time, he would have to be spanked by his own master!

Master...

Shirai Zuiko raised her head and looked at the moon in the night.

As long as you still abide by Master's teachings, you will still be Master's disciple, and you will still have Master's shadow on you.

In this world without a master, Baijiu can only miss her in this way...



In Mika Town, Shirai Yui, who was working the night shift at the police station, breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression relaxed.

Great, what he was most worried about didn't happen.

As Shirai Yui's mood relaxed, the condensed air inside the Metropolitan Police Department began to circulate again.

Not far away, Takagi was hiding behind work, quietly approached Officer Sato, and asked cautiously: "Officer Sato, do you know why Shirai-senpai is in a bad mood tonight?"

Miwako Sato was also at a loss, shook her head, and looked at Yu Shirai, who was wearing sunglasses and could not see his expression, "Maybe you had a fight with your girlfriend?"

Takagi was stunned, "Shirai-senpai has a girlfriend?"

Sato quickly waved his hand, "No, I just made a random guess!"

"Oh..." Takagi smiled, and then realized that he and Officer Sato seemed to be too close. His face suddenly turned red, and he did not dare to speak or move.

Miwako Sato did not notice anything unusual about Takagi and was still paying attention to Yui Shirai.

As a woman's intuition, Sato Miwako felt that even if Shirai-senpai had a fight with his girlfriend or had a conflict with his partner, it must be someone close to him who had a conflict with him anyway. This is absolutely correct!
