Chapter 373 Two flowers bloom, one on each side (4k updates)
The reception desk for the memorial service was outside the banquet hall. Due to the murder, the police immediately blocked the door to the outside world.
If you want to go out and find the owner of the purple handkerchief, you must pass the police blockade.
Conan was more or less a popular member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division. In order to avoid being recognized by the police at the gate as a child from the Mori family and then reporting it to Officer Megure, Conan put on the hood of his sweatshirt.
This kills two birds with one stone. The glasses he took off were given to Haibara Ai so that the people in the organization would not be able to recognize her. And after he took off his glasses and put on the hat, the police would not be able to recognize her either.
After everything was safe, Conan took Haihara Ai's hand and asked the policeman guarding the door to go out to pee.
Seeing the innocent child who wanted to go to the toilet, the policeman didn't have any doubts and let him go directly.
But as soon as the door opened a crack, the reporters who heard the news rushed inside along the crack to take pictures. The crackling flashes of flashlights and the noisy questioning caused quite a commotion.
The police rushed out to maintain order, but the movement still attracted a large number of guests in the banquet hall to look here.
Among them was Qin Zhibo, who was wandering around the banquet hall.
Since the case took place at a banquet with a complicated environment, Qin Zhibo could not find the investigation point quickly.
Hearing the commotion at the door, I subconsciously turned around and saw two little ones at the door of the venue.
There was a kid in a blue hat, so he couldn't tell who he was because he was carrying his back, but the brown-haired little loli next to him, who was leaning sideways to avoid the flash, was recognized at a glance.
Miyano Shiho!
Although he was wearing glasses, Qin Zhibo could tell at a glance that the child was Miyano Shiho, whose pseudonym was Haibara Ai.
How did she get here?
Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled, thinking that he didn't see Haihara Ai's current guardian, Dr. A Li, at the banquet.
Even if it is a daily team-building activity for the youth group, it would not be so crazy to come to the memorial service of the deceased to organize team-building activities, right?
Just when Qin Zhibo was puzzled, the kid with the blue hat had already grabbed Hui Yuan Ai's hand and slipped out through the crack in the door.
The police immediately closed the door and the two disappeared from Qin Zhibo's sight.
Qin Zhibo briefly analyzed in his mind that Haiyuan Ai, who usually did not wear glasses, suddenly put on glasses, and the dominant action of the kid with a blue hat next to him.
As a little adult, can Haihara Ai be easily dominated by a child?
Is that Conan?
Squeezing out from the reporters at the door, the two little ones breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Conan let go of Haiyuan Ai's tender little hand and hurried to the counter to ask the receptionist.
This time, Conan did not bluntly use his scientific ability to answer questions, but said that he had picked up someone else's lost handkerchief and wanted to return it.
After flipping through the registration book for a while, the receptionist replied gently: "Little brother, I found it."
"Currently, these are the eight people in the venue who have received purple handkerchiefs."
Conan glanced around and found that seven of the eight people were guests who had spoken more in the venue just now.
There was only one person whom Conan never paid attention to from beginning to end.
Michael Bay.
He doesn't seem to be a particularly famous foreigner. I don't know him.
Conan smiled confidently, because his intuition told him that Pisco was among these eight people.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the banquet hall, and people inside rushed out like a swarm of swarms.
"They're out!"
"Very good!"
Officer Mumu failed to stick to his true intentions and chose to let him go under pressure from many guests.
Anyway, these are all respectable people, and it will not be difficult to find them in the future.
The delighted reporter hurriedly took the microphone and went to interview, but when faced with the manipulation of the microphone, the guests who were already in a bad mood because of seeing the dead became even more irritable.
"I don't know! Get out of my way!"
"Wouldn't you ask the police about this kind of thing?"
The black wave woven by people in suits and leather shoes rushed outwards, for fear of being called back by the police for investigation, which would waste time and affect reputation.
This made Conan, who was in the torrent, a little panicked and worried about a stampede.
The black organization didn't kill me, but it would be bad to be trampled to death by these people in black clothes.
"Damn it! Let's get back to the doctor's car for now."
Conan turned his head and was about to take Hui Yuan Ai's hand, but found that Hui Yuan Ai, who was standing next to him just now, had disappeared.
"Haiyuan?"
"Haiyuan! Where are you!"
Having lost Haiyuan, Conan was a little flustered and quickly started looking around.
However, there was no response at all in the turbulent flow of people. Haiyuan Ai completely concealed his traces, whether it was active or passive.
Just when Conan was at a loss, a big hand gently patted the young shoulder from behind.
Conan looked back and found that it was a blond and blue-eyed man in a suit, looking at him with a kind smile.
"Kid, where is the little girl next to you?"
What came out of the man's mouth was pure English, which immediately reminded Conan of the foreigner registered in the registration book just now.
There were basically no foreigners attending this memorial service. Apart from the big star Chris Wynyard, the only one left was the man named "Michael Bay".
One of the Pisco candidates!
Thinking of this, Conan's eyes suddenly stared, and there was a dull pain in the back of his head.
"I don't know"
Conan also subconsciously answered vaguely in English, and then ran away in a panic.
Seeing Conan quickly blending into the crowd, Qin Zhibo was a little disappointed.
In fact, when he was first released, Qin Zhibo quickly searched for Conan in the crowd.
But when he saw Conan shouting in panic among the crowd, Haihara Ai beside him had disappeared.
Therefore, out of concern, Qin Zhibo wanted to provide some help without revealing his identity.
But he never expected that Conan would be so wary of strange foreigners and would not want to accept his help at all.
In this case, Qin Zhibo decided to continue investigating the case and try to track Sharon Wynyard.
Losing Haibara and being startled by a foreigner who was one of the Pixar candidates, Conan quickly ran to a nearby toilet and dialed Officer Megure's private number.
This time Conan did not play with mysticism, and directly used the voice of Kudo Shinichi, demanding that the person who obtained the purple handkerchief be detained immediately, and there is a high possibility that the murderer of Councilor Tonguchi was among them.
Officer Megure wanted to ask why Kudo Shinichi knew about the case that happened here, but Kudo Shinichi on the phone didn't answer at all and hung up the phone directly.
Although he didn't understand, but out of trust in his brother, Officer Memu still did it.
After sending toolman Memu to detain the Pisco suspect to delay time, Conan also hurried downstairs to find Dr. Ali who was staying behind.
Because Dr. Ari's car has a device that can communicate with "Superman Glasses".
Qin Zhibo is following Sharon Wynyard.
At this time, Sharon Wynyard, who had just come out of the hotel, was standing at the front door of the hotel, smoking an Aixi cigarette elegantly against the cold wind, as if she was waiting for someone to pick her up.
Although Qin Zhibo did not see her directly killing anyone, as she was a female killer, Qin Zhibo believed that as long as she continued to follow her, she would definitely gain something.
This is no coincidence!
However, just when Qin Zhibo was so confident, Officer Takagi came out of the hotel and stopped Chris Wynyard.
Just when Qin Zhibo was wondering if the police had any new discoveries that could identify the murderer, Officer Mu Mu also appeared in front of him.
Two foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes stood out among the crowd full of Asian faces and were the first to be taken to the hotel office.
Officer Megure sent a police officer who could speak English to communicate with the two and explained the current situation.
It turned out that the police had grasped some information and needed to interrogate relevant personnel.
This made Qin Zhibo a little surprised. He didn't expect that Officer Mu Mu could be so brave without the help of detectives, and he really found the key person in the case.
After a while, professional baseball team owners, music producers, female writers, etc. were also brought over by the police one after another and temporarily placed in the office, waiting for interrogation.
One of the professional baseball team owners had a bad temper and kept asking the police why they had only called them back for questioning, and whether they were looking down on them.
Others also followed suit, and under pressure, Officer Memu could only say that they were all the guests on the register who had received purple handkerchiefs, and there were circumstances indicating that the murderer was one of them.
When Officer Memu said this, everyone could only settle down and wait for the police investigation.
After some time, the last of the eight people, the car company boss, Kenzo Masayama, was brought over by Police Officer Takagi.
As soon as he entered the office, Masuyama Kenzo glanced at everyone in the room with a confused look.
"What are you looking at? I've been waiting for you, come here quickly."
The owner of the professional baseball team, who had been kept waiting for a while, was a little unhappy and spoke unkindly.
Officer Memu explained the situation to everyone, and then began to interrogate.
Just when Officer Megure was about to call Kenzo Matoyama, who was relatively close to him, to be the first to interrogate him, Chris Wynyard suddenly stood up from his seat.
“Please, ladies first”
Officer Megure was stunned by this request, but he still agreed and interrogated the women present first.
Under the leadership of Officer Memu, Chris Wynyard was the first to enter the small office inside.
On the beige floor, Hui Yuan Ai suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from a coma.
Covering her groggy head, Hui Yuan Ai sat up and observed the surrounding environment.
This is a strange room with two rows of large shelves. The shelves are packed with cargo boxes. There is a faint aroma of wine in the room, and behind it is an unused fireplace.
At this time, an anxious cry came from the spectacles on my ears.
"Haiyuan! Haiyuan!"
Haiyuan Ai responded weakly, "Is it Kudo?"
"Yes! It's me! Where are you now?"
"I"
When Conan asked this question, the memory fragments that had been dusted for a long time came out, making the headache that was already a bit worse due to the cold even more severe.
"呲"
Haiyuan Ai clicked his teeth.
In her memory, Haiyuan Ai only remembered that she was scattered by the crowd, looking at Conan who was anxiously looking for her a few meters away, as if she was so far away.
I wanted to reach out to answer the call, but my mouth and nose were covered with a handkerchief from behind, and the drowsy chemical substance made me fall into a deep sleep.
When I wake up again, I will be in this place.
"This seems to be a wine cellar."
"In the corridor just now, someone took advantage of the chaos and knocked me unconscious from behind, and then brought me here."
When Haibara Ai said this, Conan in Dr. Ali's car was suddenly startled, "Hey! Is that the person you are talking about?"
"Yes." Haibara Ai, who was in danger, was more calm than Conan, "I think he is the member of the organization who dared to kill people in a venue closely monitored by the police."
“Pisco”
This made Conan even more panicked, and he quickly asked if the member of the organization was still around.
Hui Yuan Ai looked around, stood up and once again made sure there was no one else, he calmly replied: "The organization weirdo is not here now, but the door is locked."
Then Haibara Ai rationally analyzed how she was brought here. The organization members put on cleaning staff clothes and transported themselves here in boxes.
This made Conan, who was more worried about Haiyuan's safety than the truth, a little impatient.
"Don't worry about that, the most important thing now is that you find a way to escape from that wine cellar first!"
Facing the anxious Conan, Haibara Ai, who had always been frightened by black organizations, was not so scared now.
Once I accept my weakness, then I
Hui Yuan Ai raised his hand to press the headset on the temple of his glasses and explained the secret of Drug A.
"Kudo, listen carefully and remember what I say."
"The drug that rejuvenates us - the AP in APTX-4869 refers to Apoptoxin, which means programmed cell death."
"To put it simply, cells have a self-destruction mechanism. Normal people can survive by inhibiting this function, and this drug can trigger the programmed death mechanism of cells."
"Haiyuan." Conan on the other side was shocked that Haiyuan Ai could be so calm, but after thinking about it, he realized the reason.
"Stop talking! If you really want to say it, tell me slowly after you escape from there!"
However, Conan's roar did not summon Hui Yuan Ai's will to survive, but instead explained the aftermath in a more open and honest manner.
"If I'm not wrong, I will never have a chance to talk to you again in my life."
"They have seen my shrinking virtues this time, and they will definitely investigate who I have been in contact with during my shrinking period."
"When the time comes, let alone Dr. A Li who took me in, they will ruthlessly eliminate anyone who has anything to do with me."
Haiyuan Ai calmly announced the death of everyone who came into contact with him, just saying "After I leave, you will be me".
However, at this moment, Conan roared angrily.
"Don't give up so easily! We still have Qin Zhibo!"
"As long as we tell him the matter, he will definitely help us! With his ability, organizing and so on is not a problem."
"And Uncle Mouri! My father! Hattori Heiji! Officer Megure. Anyway, you believe me! There are still many good people in this world!"
"You can't kill all the good people!"
In order to encourage Haibara Ai who wanted to give up, Conan started to talk nonsense and moved reinforcements everywhere, as if he really wanted to fight the black organization for the final decisive battle.
At the same time, Qin Zhibo, who was waiting for interrogation in the hotel office, watched Sharon Wynyard open the door and walk out after the interrogation was completed.
After walking out of the office inside, she immediately winked in the direction of Kenzo Masayama while sitting on the chair.
