In the dark room, a dark figure sat in front of the computer.
On the computer screen, an enlarged photo of the banquet was displayed.
This banquet was very high-end, and the attendees were all Europeans in suits and ties, except for a few Asian faces.
When the mouse wheel expanded, the Asian faces became clearer.
One of the innocent girls has long hair that resembles "horns", and the boy beside her is also quite handsome.
There was also a middle-aged man with a mustache and a lively eyebrow, and an old Mediterranean man with a big belly sitting next to him.
At this time, the mouse wheel further expanded the photo, and finally stopped on the face of the handsome young man.
The dark figure covered his left eye, using only his remaining eyeball to carefully observe the young face in the photo.
After a while, his body gradually relaxed, he leaned on the chair behind him again, and murmured in a deep voice.
"Kudo Shinichi...?"
After he finished speaking, he picked up the phone next to the computer and entered a text message.
send.
…
Kudo House, storage room on the first floor.
Conan stood in the corridor with his head slightly lowered, thinking alone.
Although the murderer has been caught now, the winner has not yet been decided.
First, we need to get the memory card, and second, we need to find the undercover agent lurking among the police.
Although Qin Zhibo had said before that this matter was not the highest priority, once the memory card was obtained by his side, the policeman who was replaced by the organization's undercover agent would completely lose its value.
I'm afraid my life will be at risk by then.
Although it is not clear who the police officer being replaced is, he still has to find a way to rescue the person.
While Conan was thinking, Qin Zhibo also walked out of the room.
Conan immediately raised his head and looked into the crack of the door just before closing the door.
The murderer was seen tied to a chair, his head drooping listlessly, and there were some red marks on his face.
It seems that Qin Zhibo resorted to lynching after all.
But there is no other way, only extraordinary measures can be used in extraordinary times.
Conan is still very open-minded when it comes to breaking some minor laws in the process of handling cases.
"How about it?"
"Everything has been explained..."
Qin Zhibo went to the toilet to wash his hands and briefly explained the motive of the entire case.
It turns out that there is no direct intersection between the man named "Honami Kazuki" and the victim.
He once had a sister, Nanako Motojo, who eloped with a man named Kosuke Mizutani a few years ago and left home.
On the Tanabata Festival two years ago, Nanako Motomi and Kosuke Mizutani stayed at the Vega Hotel in Kyoto.
That night, a major fire broke out in the hotel, and his sister Honami Nanako died.
Mizutani Kosuke escaped because he happened to be out at that time.
However, since the year before last, every time the Honami family holds a memorial service for Nanako, they have received 7 bouquets sent anonymously.
Kazuki Motogami suspected that this incident was related to the death of his sister, so he investigated the senders of these seven bouquets of flowers.
At the painting exhibition of the painter Shindo Sumire, he happened to encounter a conversation between Shindo Sumire and Ryuzaki, and then he learned that the person who sent the anonymous bouquet was a tenant who stayed at the Vega Hotel on the day of the fire.
At that time, a total of eight people had to take the elevator downstairs, but the maximum capacity of the elevator was only seven people.
So Nanako took the initiative to step out of the elevator, and was eventually killed in the fire.
In this regard, Kazuki Motogami believed that these seven people caused the death of his sister, and their sin was unforgivable.
In addition, he collected the relics of seven people in order to blame the person he thought was the culprit - his sister's boyfriend, Mizutani Kosuke.
If Mizutani Kosuke hadn't persuaded his sister to elope, his sister would not have died.
In order to persuade Mizutani Kosuke to surrender and commit suicide, he told Mizutani Kosuke that these seven people had teamed up to kill Nanako.
Mizutani Kosuke has already agreed.
"Originally, he wanted to hide this from me, but in fact, with a little reasoning, you will know that the matter is not that simple."
"If these seven people pushed his sister off the elevator, at most one or two people would send anonymous bouquets, not everyone..."
In order to make Kazuki Motomoto understand the consequences of lying, Qin Zhibo chose to educate him with fists.
Conan was slightly moved after hearing the murderer's motive.
The people his sister risked her life to save were all killed by him...
At this time, Qin Zhibo changed the subject, "I rescued a person in a park in Kanagawa Prefecture. This person is probably saved by now."
"I believe that the police will soon get this information and know the identity of the murderer and that the murderer is probably abducted."
"In order to save the police officer who was replaced by the organization, it is time to make a choice."
What Qin Zhibo said is exactly what Conan was thinking about just now.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you first go to his home in Chiba Prefecture. The memory card and other victims' belongings are now buried in a park near his home."
"I want to pretend to be a 'murderer' and surrender to the police..."
After hearing Qin Zhibo's plan, Conan suddenly looked startled.
His task was relatively simple, but Qin Zhibo's surrender as a "murderer" meant he had to face police siege.
Of course, Conan also knew that this was the best way to fish out the organization's undercover agents.
Because once the murderer appears, the undercover organization will definitely find a way to contact the murderer alone in order to obtain the memory card.
At that time, whoever appears alone in front of the "murderer" will be an undercover agent of the organization!
"no!"
Conan's little face was full of seriousness, "What if you..."
"Don't you have confidence in me?"
Before Conan could finish speaking, Qin Zhibo asked.
"Do you think I'll lose to that 'Irish' guy?"
"..."
Conan fell into silence because he really couldn't imagine Qin Zhibo losing to someone.
And in order to rescue a certain policeman who was imprisoned by the organization, this is what someone must do.
"Okay, since there is no objection, let's do it."
"And I do need some time to prepare..."
Qin Zhibo patted Conan on the shoulder and left.
…
Tropical Paradise, a large number of police cars surrounded the entrance of the park.
The police, headed by Megure and Matsumoto administrators, entered the park and conducted a search. In addition, they interrogated and interrogated all the staff in the park, and finally came to a conclusion.
"It seems that the connection between the murderer and the victim is not because of this paradise..."
"But……"
Just as Mumu was about to open his mouth to analyze, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
I picked up the phone and answered it, and there was exciting news on the other end.
"What? The insider has been found!"
"Well...I know..."
As soon as Megure hung up the phone, the manager behind him, Matsumoto, stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
Megure immediately reported: "The painter named Shindo Sumire has been found. She was kidnapped by the murderer and taken to the sports park in Ayase City, Kanagawa Prefecture. She is currently protected by the local police..."
"Kidnapped by the murderer..."
Manager Matsumoto murmured, "Does that mean she knows the identity of the murderer?"
"Yes." Megure nodded firmly, "The murderer's name is Kazuki Motogami, and he is the brother of one of the victims in the fire accident at the Vega Hotel in Kyoto two years ago."
"The other victims were all tenants of the same hotel that year..."
Manager Matsumoto suddenly interrupted Megure, seemingly not interested in the specific motive, and changed the subject and asked: "Since this person named Shindo Sumire has been kidnapped by the murderer, why can he still escape?"
Megure was obviously stunned by Manager Matsumoto's sudden change of subject, and then replied: "It is said that a kind person saved her..."
Manager Matsumoto asked in a deep voice, "Have you found that kind person?"
Mu Mu shook his head, "No..."
Upon hearing this answer, an elusive light flashed through the slits of Manager Matsumoto's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.
Just then, Memu's phone rang again.
Mu Mu picked up the phone, and as soon as he heard this sentence, his expression changed drastically.
"What!"
"The murderer surrendered!"
Manager Matsumoto, who was standing nearby, immediately looked sideways and cast a scrutinizing gaze.
"...I know, we'll be there right away..."
Megure hung up the phone and immediately reported to Manager Matsumoto.
"A man who called himself 'Honjoi Kazuki' surrendered to the Metropolitan Police and said that he was already in Tokyo Tower."
"However, he requested that only one policeman must go up to the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower to meet him, otherwise he would commit suicide."
Matsumoto's eyes narrowed slightly again, and then he announced.
"Okay, everyone rush to Tokyo Tower immediately!"
…
On the dim road, a yellow Beetle was driving.
Although the accelerator has been pressed almost to the bottom, due to the vehicle's performance, this Beetle is still not very fast.
"Shinichi, what should we do if we find the memory card that contains the organization's undercover list?"
Although Dr. Ali knows that this is a key item to defeat the organization, Conan has never said how to use it specifically.
"I don't know either..."
"We should leave it to Qin Zhibo, he should have a way to handle it."
Conan thought of the meeting in London. If investigation organizations from all over the world cooperate, then the importance of this list is self-evident.
But even so, the value of this list is only to pull out the wedges that the organization has planted in various investigation organizations, but it cannot truly shake the big tree of the organization itself.
Thinking of this, Conan felt a little tired inside.
But this is at least a good start...
"Doctor, when you came out, didn't that guy Haiyuan ask you where you were going?"
At this time, Conan suddenly asked Haihara Ai.
Dr. A Li controlled the steering wheel and said: "Xiao Ai is staying at Dr. Chengshi's house tonight and won't be back..."
Conan nodded slightly, "Oh..."
Fortunately, Haihara Ai is not here.
Because tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
…
Tokyo Tower, Observation Deck.
Qin Zhibo stood alone in front of the glass of the observation deck, watching the police cars arriving below one after another, surrounding the area below.
If I hadn't been the real murderer, I would have felt like I was at the end of my rope...
Qin Zhibo stood in front of the glass, stretching his waist.
Looking through the slightly reflective mirror, it was not Qin Zhibo's real face, but a human skin mask.
This is the human skin mask of Kazuki Motojo.
Although it is a temporary product and not realistic enough, it is enough in this dim environment.
Suddenly, a beep came from the elevator in the corner of the observatory.
bite--
The crisp sound echoed in the silent exhibition hall.
Qin Zhibo turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a burly figure walking slowly.
The leather shoes made a short sound on the floor tiles, and the neon lights outside the window gradually revealed the owner of the figure.
This man has a tall build, a rough mustache and a diagonal scar on his left eye.
It’s the Chief of the 1st Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police Department, Administrator Kiyonaga Matsumoto!
"Matsumoto" came to stand five meters away from Qin Zhibo, and then asked in a deep voice: "Are you the murderer of the serial murder case?"
"Matsumoto" narrowed his eyes slightly and put his hands in his pockets, looking at ease.
Qin Zhibo was still standing by the railing of the observatory. He did not answer his question, but asked: "Who are you?"
"Matsumoto" stood there, silent for two seconds, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sinister smile.
"I am Ireland."
"Matsumoto" suddenly revealed his identity, which caught Qin Zhibo off guard.
Although I had already calculated that no matter who the policeman came, it was definitely Ireland.
But I didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to reveal his identity.
"What did you say?"
Qin Zhibo pretended not to understand and asked with a puzzled expression.
Ireland's mouth was still grinning ferociously, "Stop pretending, I know you already know my identity..."
"And I also know your identity."
"The famous detective Qin Zhibo..."
As soon as the words fell, the entire atmosphere in the observation hall fell into a deathly silence.
Although Qin Zhibo tried his best to remain calm under the human skin mask, his heart was still a little messy.
How does he know my identity?
No……
When did he know my identity?
Noticing Qin Zhibo's slightly dilated pupils, the smile on Ireland's lips became even more wanton.
"Hmph, do you think only detectives like you who think you are smart can reason?"
"I had some suspicions as early as when I saw you searching around the police conference room after the first search meeting."
"That gesture looks like searching for a bug..."
"Then you left in a car with that kid, which further deepened my suspicion."
"That brat, Edogawa Conan..."
"No, it should be called Kudo Shinichi, right?"
Having said this, Ireland looked around the observation hall for a while.
After making sure that no one else was ambushing around, he continued.
"I have found out the identity of that kid. He is high school detective Kudo Shinichi."
"Not killing Kudo Shinichi, or even failing to discover the true identity of that brat, was a major mistake by that guy..."
"Although that kid doesn't seem to be here, as long as you are caught, he will have to show up, right?"
"I'm going to catch that kid and bring him to 'that adult', and let that dead cold-blooded guy become a stepping stone for me to ascend to the top..."
