217. Burning Autumn, Innocent

Running from the third floor to the nineteenth floor was too much, but luckily, basically when I reached the tenth floor, Officer Henggou’s intercom came out with the news that the suspicious person had been caught. The whole group of people, one large and one small, were out of breath.

Still taking the elevator, we returned to the open-air restaurant on the third floor.

"Where's the suspicious person!!"

"it's here!"

Faced with Officer Henggou's question, a police officer immediately answered. Henggou looked over and saw that behind the police officer who answered the conversation, there stood a young man wearing a black priest's robe, with the collar pulled high and covering the lower half of his face.

His face was covered, but the upper half of his face that was exposed looked very handsome, but his green eyes were cold.

Clergy?

Henggou Shenwu took a deep breath and walked over, "Who is he? Why do you say he is suspicious?"

"Because..." the police officer said halfway, feeling a little unable to finish his words, but finally warned the young man with his eyes.

The young man looked back at the police officer coldly, but he still pulled down his collar obediently.

I saw that the lower half of the originally handsome young man's face was actually brown, as if it had been burned by fire, and the corners of his mouth looked like two long, upturned scars extending from both sides.

It's like a fixed and ferocious smile, and the whole face is very fragmented and weird, making people's hair stand on end.

Xiaolan on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth, showing an unbearable expression.

Behind Officer Henggou, Conan had already stood frozen on the spot, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes showed fear.

It’s him! His companion with gin and vodka, codenamed Shaoqiu!!

Why does he appear here! Did he kill these two people? Why is he on the third floor!

Conan looked at Xiaolan who was only a few meters away from Shaoqiu, his heart trembling.

Why did he appear next to Xiaolan? Did he discover something?

Conan remembered Shiraijiu's warning to him.

Could it be that he was really too careless and that he exposed a flaw and was discovered by the black organization without either himself or Shirai knowing?

No, no matter what, Xiaolan must not be allowed to continue to get close to this guy!!

Conan moved quietly and went to Xiaolan's side.

Here, Henggou Sengo also shuddered when he saw Shirai Qusheng's appearance. Now he could understand why his subordinates would arrest this person as a suspicious person.

But he was a policeman after all, and he would not be frightened by a person's ferocious appearance. He quickly recovered his emotions, frowned, and began to interrogate.

"name?"

"Sakai Shiro."

"age?"

"twenty two."

"What is your relationship with the victim?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Then why are you here?"

"Watch the excitement."

"Where were you around 10pm?"

"bar."

"Is there any witness?"

"Bartender."

"..."

Officer Henggou looked at his police officer speechlessly.

The police officer shifted his gaze with some guilt.

This guy looks really suspicious...

Gut

After successfully arriving at Xiaolan's side, Conan held Xiaolan's hand while also paying attention to the conversation there.

It sounds like Shaoqiu is really not the murderer, but is this really the case?

At this moment, a policeman came out of the building with a man covered in blood, "Henggou Police Department, we have arrested the suspect!"

"Ah?!" Henggou, who had just been embarrassed by an innocent [suspicious person], heard another [suspect] coming and turned his head with a bad expression.

Conan and Xiaolan also turned their heads and were surprised when they recognized the person.

"Maeda-senpai?!"

In the meantime, Maeda Satoru was covered in blood and had a lot of blood stains on his face. He was brought over by two police officers with a dull expression.

Officer Henggou turned his head, "You mean, this person is the fiancé of the deceased Sayama Akiko?"

"Yes...but why, Maeda-senpai..." Xiaolan looked at Maeda Satoshi at a loss.

During the day, the two of them still looked like they were loving each other. Why now, Miss Sayama died violently and Senior Maeda was covered in blood, so why are they like this?

Just before that, Maeda-senpai was watching the stars with him. When he left, he mentioned Miss Sayama in a helpless and doting tone, hoping that she would calm down...

There were tears gathering in Xiaolan's eyes.

What on earth is going on tonight, Shinichi...

Xiaolan looked at Conan with tears in her eyes, and Conan was looking at the body of Akiko Sayama.

Although Akiko Sayama fell from a high building and her body was incomplete, Miss Sayama was not thrown to death because of the scar on her neck that was enough to cut her artery!

Taking advantage of the time when Officer Henggou was interrogating Satoshi Maeda, Conan carefully came to the body of Akiko Sayama without disturbing anyone, and carefully looked at the scars.

The scars were cut flat, showing that they were cut with a very sharp tool at an extremely fast speed.

Most importantly, these playing cards covering her body!

The front of these playing cards are common playing card colors on the market, but the pattern on the back is a pattern of intertwined black and white. Looking at it for a long time will make people feel dizzy, and the back has this pattern.

Conan had only seen playing cards in the hands of one person, that street magician!!

Conan turned his head, wanting to tell Officer Henggou about this discovery, but as soon as he turned his head, he suddenly saw a pair of green eyes, looking at him coldly.

It’s Shaoqiu!

Conan's blood ran cold.

Yes, there is another person from the black organization here. If he behaves too prominently, he will be suspected...

what to do……

By the way! Uncle Maori!!

Conan turned around, tugged on Xiaolan's clothes, and asked innocently: "Sister Xiaolan, where is Uncle Maori?"

Xiaolan was stunned. First she was disgusted by Conan's cuteness, but she quickly realized that Conan might have discovered some clues, but it was difficult to disclose them to the police directly, so she wanted her father to help...



Speaking of which, where is dad?

Xiaolan looked around blankly, but did not see Kogoro Mori among the crowd of onlookers.

At this time, a woman wearing fashionable and bold clothes came over and said, "If you want to find Mr. Maori, he should still be in the bar on the second floor~"

"Eh? Miss Kamijou?"

Conan didn't care about that, he just grabbed Xiaolan and ran away: "Then let's go find Uncle Maori as soon as possible~ He is so powerful, if he comes here, he will find clues in no time!"

"oh oh……"

Conan smiled and pulled Xiaolan and ran away. When passing by Kamijou Hideko, due to his height advantage, he could easily see the traces of tears left behind Kamijou Hideko's sunglasses at the corners of his eyes.

...Crying? For whom?

Conan looked back blankly, but saw Shaoqiu's figure again. He was so frightened that he quickly turned around and pulled Xiaolan away quickly.
