Shuji Tsushima was grabbed by the hem of his clothes by a primary school student again.
"What a coincidence, Conan." He stretched out his hand and patted the primary school student's dog's head.
Although it looks light and fluffy, it is useless at all.
But actually...
The primary school student's face was already twisted in pain.
"We meet again, what's wrong with you?" he asked gently.
Edogawa Conan: It hurts...
What is this guy Tsushima doing? Why is he patting me on the head so hard?
Really, how could I have offended him?
Toru Amuro and Mu Midorikawa remained silent throughout the whole process, acting as backdrops.
Even when he saw the figures of Mouri Kogoro and others, he didn't have any trouble.
"This kid is really close to you." Atobe Keigo's words contained a hint of teasing.
"I ran over as soon as I saw you." Akashi Seijuro also echoed.
"Yes, Conan really likes Tsushima-kun." Mao Lilan, who hurried over from the side, agreed with a smile.
Edogawa Conan Dead Fish Eyes: Hey, hey——
What are you thinking about?
This guy just beat me up!! Can’t you see?!
"I didn't expect that there would be children who would like to play with me so much..." the black-haired boy said with a hint of reminiscence.
"Thank you so much Conan." The young man smiled lightly and had melancholy eyes.
Edogawa Conan:...Oh.
Then can you be gentler next time you hit me on the head?
At this moment, all the lights in the venue went out.
A beam of light hit the hosting platform.
"Next, we will ask a guest to come on stage and say a few words to everyone." The host said, holding the microphone.
"He is a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Masao Takada," the host introduced.
Then a beam of light accurately shone on a man in the venue.
Attracted the attention of the whole audience.
Everyone laughed and applauded.
Shuji Tsushima also applauded perfunctorily.
"I thought..." Atobe Keigo raised his eyebrows in confusion and looked at Tsushima Shuji.
Why?
I thought Tsushima Shuji would not applaud congressmen with different stances.
"Hey...I am a polite person." Shuji Tsushima responded while applauding.
"Indeed." Akashi Seijuro slowly clapped his hands and agreed.
Councilor Takata was led by his secretary to the presiding platform.
The light moved at his pace like a shadow.
Just when Representative Takada passed by someone.
A gunshot was heard inside the venue.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard.
Wait until all the lights in the venue come on.
Representative Takata is dead.
President Ishimoto, who passed by him, was covering his shoulders with fear on his face.
Screams sounded as expected.
The guests began to flee.
The corner where Tsushima Shuji and others were sitting was incongruously quiet.
"Sir, if I say I'm used to it..." Keigo Atobe rubbed his eyebrows.
Several banquets he and Tsushima Shuji attended before also had accidents.
What they all have in common is the presence of the Maori detective.
There were several banquets where Tsushima Shuji was not present, and only the Mori detective was present, but accidents still happened.
So, I'm really used to it.
The Maori detective seemed to have a special connection with the accident.
Toru Amuro and Mu Midorikawa standing aside: Yes, we are used to it.
"You still have to be careful." Akashi Seijuro said in a tactful tone.
Didn't say stay away from the Maori detective.
"I will check the guest list first in the future." Keigo Atobe said, rubbing his eyebrows as if he felt tired.
"It will take a lot of time to wait for the police to come." He seemed to feel a little impatient.
The elementary school students had already rushed to the body.
"Genius detective, it's up to you now." Atobe Keigo said to Tsushima Shuji.
He looked like he was looking forward to watching a good show.
"It seems I can watch Tsushima's mystery show again." Akashi Seijuro said with a smile in his voice.
"Akaashi-senpai, Atobe-senpai——" The young man raised his hands helplessly.
"Mr. Maori is probably more famous than me. If he is here, it would be better not to steal his limelight." The young man looked like he was thinking about the other person.
"That's what I said, but I see that Mr. Mori seems to have no clue..." Akashi Seijuro looked at the place where the accident occurred.
"But since Tsushima you don't want to steal the limelight from the other party..." Atobe Keigo paused for a moment.
"Then let's discuss it ourselves." He suggested.
"President Ishimoto received a threatening letter and invited Detective Mori to investigate."
"As a result, Representative Takada was killed at the banquet."
"President Ishimoto was also slightly injured by a bullet that passed by."
"If you think about it normally, most people would think that the murderer's target was President Ishimoto who had received the threatening letter. It was just that the bullet missed and hit Representative Takada." Atobe Keigo analyzed with reason.
"But compared to Mr. Ishimoto, I think Representative Takada is more likely to be targeted." Akashi Seijuro also analyzed.
Shuji Tsushima listened to their analysis and silently pitied President Ishimoto for half a second.
Your status is completely inferior to that of Representative Takada.
"The threatening letter received by President Ishimoto is more likely prepared by the murderer in order to divert the attention of the police. The murderer's target was Representative Takada from the beginning." Akashi Seijuro continued to analyze attentively.
"After all, if the target is President Ishimoto, you shouldn't shoot in the dark, especially a sniper rifle." Keigo Atobe continued his analysis.
"The only target that can be seen in the dark is Representative Takada who was illuminated by the lamp at that time." He lifted his bangs and spoke calmly.
Shuji Tsushima applauded silently.
"As expected of Atobe-senpai and Akashi-senpai." He said with emotion.
Behind them, Toru Amuro and Muya Midorikawa nodded silently.
These two chaebol sons are completely different from those second-generation playboys who are not in the mainstream.
It's indeed excellent enough.
"But we can't guess the specific method." Akashi Seijuro said with gentle eyes and an unhurried attitude.
"But you can still guess the murderer." Keigo Atobe raised his eyebrows.
"Who do you think the murderer is, Atobe-kun?" Akashi Seijuro asked gently.
"Hmm, I think it's Secretary Arakura." Atobe Keigo said without hesitation.
"What a coincidence, I think so too," Akashi Seijuro said calmly.
"The outside world believes that Secretary Arikura is the successor of Representative Takada." Atobe Keigo just said something with unclear meaning.
"I killed my boss in order to advance, and in order to advance smoothly, I had to carefully use various distraction methods so that no one would think that he was the murderer..."
"After all, once you are discovered and arrested by the police, you will not be able to get promoted." Akashi Seijuro said calmly.
The two of them just guessed the reason for the murder and the murderer one by one.
"What do Tsushima think of the reasoning between Atobe-kun and I?" Akashi Seijuro suddenly asked Tsujima Shuuji.
"Hey..." The young man touched his chin and thought for a moment.
"You can be a detective," he praised.
"We just know a little bit about these situations." Akashi Seijuro shook his head.
"Detectives rely on evidence and techniques to solve cases. Atobe-kun and I were just having fun," he said.
"Indeed, Akashi and I's guesses are all based on our understanding of the situation, and there is no concrete evidence." Keigo Atobe nodded and admitted.
