Bai Matan put his hands in his pockets, raised the corners of his confident mouth slightly, and continued to reason.
"Also, I just checked the surveillance in the hotel and found that no one left the venue during the power outage."
"In other words, after the murderer knocked out Chairman Suzuki, he first hid him somewhere in the venue, and then waited for an opportunity to take him out of the venue."
"As for how to take him out..."
…
At the same time, on the other side, Conan, San Xiaozhi, Sera Masumi, Mao Lilan, and Suzuki Sonoko were looking around in the kitchen for the whereabouts of President Suzuki.
Before the police arrived at the hotel, Conan and Detective Baima had already thought of the surveillance in the hotel corridor.
By calling the surveillance camera, it was discovered that after the power outage ended, a dining car was pushed out of the venue by the figure of a hotel waiter dressed as a figure.
Conan still remembered that before the power outage, the main food area of the venue had just been decorated, and it was impossible to take it down so quickly.
Moreover, there is a storage space under the hotel's dining car, which can just fit an adult.
So, Conan and the White Horse detectives split up into two groups. One went back to the venue to call for help, while the other went to explain the situation to the police.
"Conan, did you find it there?"
"No, what about you?"
"Me neither..."
Sera Masumi is dressed in a neutral outfit, but she does have a bit of heroic spirit.
Since the Akai couple and Brother Xiu who were finally reunited had gone on missions outside, even though Baima Tan had recovered, she still stayed at Baima Tan's house for a while.
This time she also followed Baima Tan to attend the banquet.
Unfortunately, she happened to be using the restroom when the power outage occurred and was not at the venue.
At this time, since all the chefs in the kitchen were summoned to the police for questioning, the banquet was also suspended, so the order of dishes was neatly placed on the operating table.
Yuantai, who was already hungry, stood on tiptoe and looked at the delicious food on the countertop. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and drooled out unsatisfactorily.
However, the most basic moral integrity must still be maintained. Yuantai finally defeated his appetite and looked back.
Suddenly, a familiar fragrance entered his nose.
He twitched his little nose and smelled it carefully, and found that it was the aroma of eel rice.
This time my restless heart could no longer be contained.
Yuantai instantly switched to police dog mode and began to crawl forward, following the scent into the depths of the kitchen.
When he came to a cupboard, he finally saw the eel rice that he had longed for...the sauce.
I saw a smear of soy sauce-colored kabayaki eel sauce stained on the metal door of the cabinet.
As a qualified foodie, he now has reason to suspect that the cabinet is full of eel rice.
But when he opened the cabinet door, he found that it was not eel rice.
It was a middle-aged man lying inside with his eyes closed. The middle-aged man had a thick beard under his nose, his mouth was taped with tape, his hands were tied, and he was in a coma.
This person seems to be the missing President Suzuki.
…
After a while, President Suzuki was sent to the hotel infirmary and gradually regained consciousness.
Under the questioning of Officer Megure, President Suzuki told the story of his kidnapping.
In fact, there is no telling what happened. He was in a coma throughout the entire process, and the suspect's appearance was not seen.
However, when President Suzuki made his statement, he said that just last week at the golf course, President Mitsuka, who was playing golf with him, was also kidnapped and disappeared for a while.
After the police arrived, they found her in the bathroom of the golf course. And President Mitsuka is also one of the sponsors of this Tokyo World Sports Games.
However, perhaps because she was frightened, the female president of the dessert company did not attend today's banquet.
This new situation made Conan, Hakuba Tan, and Sera Masumi raise their chins at the same time, looking like they were thinking calmly.
Mao Lilan, who was standing next to him, was also stunned for a moment when he saw the three people's synchronized movements.
At this moment, a calm and calm voice sounded from behind the screen near the door of the infirmary.
"Officer Memu, this case may be related to the kidnapping case that occurred on the eve of the opening of the Boston World Sports Center 15 years ago..."
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Officer Memu was stunned for a moment, and then looked back.
I saw a polite middle-aged man wearing glasses walking in.
This person is Kudo Yusaku.
"Brother Yusaku!"
"When did you come back? How long do you plan to stay this time?"
As we all know, behind every successful man there is a silently supportive woman.
But behind Mu Mu, there are countless brothers who silently support him.
Kudo Yusaku is the first generation of "younger brother" Jinchuuriki. Although he has retired from the "younger brother world" for many years, he still holds considerable weight in Megure's heart.
"I just returned to Japan recently and will stay for a while..."
Kudo Yusaku did not exchange too many pleasantries with Megure, but went straight to the topic.
"Officer Megure, 15 years ago in Boston, the United States, there was also a case of serial kidnapping of senior figures of sponsors of the World Experience Association. It is almost exactly the same as what happened to President Suzuki today."
"As for the specific situation, let the professionals explain it..."
As Kudo Yusaku finished speaking, an old man with a goatee and gray hair walked in from the door.
"This is Mr. James, an FBI investigator from the United States. He came to Japan this time just for this case..."
"Hello everyone, my name is James Blake..."
James nodded to everyone in the room and then began to introduce the case 15 years ago.
It turns out that on the eve of the World Sports Games in Boston 15 years ago, three senior sponsors were kidnapped.
The first is a senior executive of a Japanese confectionery manufacturer in Atlanta.
The second person is a senior executive of the Chicago Consortium.
The third is a top executive at the Detroit automaker.
"Among them, only the victim in the third case was shot to death at the station after escaping from the criminal."
"Although the victims of the first and second kidnapping cases were later rescued safely, for some reason they remained silent and refused to cooperate with the investigation when asked about the suspect's information."
"Afterwards, after extensive investigation, we focused the suspect on a sushi chef in Boston."
"His name is Ishihara Makoto, and he once participated in a banquet held by the Boston World Sports Center as a banquet chef."
"And when the victim in the third case was killed, someone saw him near the scene."
"In addition, his fingerprints were also matched on the murder weapon pistol found afterwards..."
James paused for a moment in his narration.
Bai Ma looked for clues and continued: "I have also heard about this case. It is said that the motive for the crime was a terrorist act to counter the commercialization of the World Experience."
"Those companies whose top executives were kidnapped also immediately stopped sponsoring the World Sports Association..."
