When Xiaolan stepped down from the hosting stage, she was overjoyed.

Not only did she get Ray Katis autographed, but the other party also signed his name on the jersey that was supposed to be sold as a gift, and gave it to Xiaolan as a signed jersey.

Conan knew that Ran would give the signed jersey to "Shinichi Kudo", and he couldn't help but be very excited.

The jersey that Xiaolan brought was the No. 8 jersey, which made Kazuye a little puzzled: "Isn't that Ray Katis a goalkeeper, the goalkeeper's back number should be No. 1, right, but why is he No. 8?" ”

At this time, it was naturally time for Conan to come out and show his football knowledge: "Ray Katis was originally a midfielder, and then switched to the goalkeeper position. He wore the number eight when he played in midfield, so he continued to use the number eight when he became goalkeeper. ”

At this time, Heiji also spoke: "I didn't expect that foreigner to be quite generous, and he actually gave a signed jersey directly, and it would be very expensive if such a dress was sold." ”

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Actually, as a condition for giving signed jerseys, he also asked me for a request. ”

Xiaolan said as she showed everyone the walkie-talkie in her hand.

Looking at the walkie-talkie in Xiaolan's hand, Hattori, Conan, and Kogoro didn't understand what Katis wanted Xiaolan to help with.

At this time, Zero had already finished talking to Lingxiang and came over to Xiaolan. Seeing the walkie-talkie in Xiaolan's hand, she thought about it, and seemed to have some impressions of the upcoming case, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't remember any details.

What a hassle......

At this time, the unscrupulous reporter Ed McKay walked up to Zero, only to see him holding a plate full of sushi in his hand, and said to Zero while eating sushi: "Oh, you are the beautiful detective Kaneda Ichiko who repelled Lupin III, I have heard of your reputation even in the United States, and I am really fortunate to see the lineup today, it is really a rare beauty in the world." But I'm very skeptical, so many well-known detectives and police officers are at a loss for Lupin III, how can such a little girl of yours manage to repel him? As we all know, Lupin III's biggest problem is lustful, and you shouldn't have any ulterior relationship with him. ”

Sure enough, this is a very annoying guy. If it weren't for the public eye, I would definitely beat him up first.

After thinking for a while, Zero opened his mouth and said to Ed: "Mr. Ed McKay, I see that your seal hall is black, and I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster, I advise you to be more cautious." ”

"What does it mean that Yintang is black or something, is it the divination of the East? Ah, I see! You little girl, isn't it possible that you are threatening my personal safety? ”

"No, I'm admonishing you sincerely. After all, your character must have offended a lot of people, so I told you to be careful, is this wrong? ”

Ed sneered and said, "In this world, no one can threaten me. ”

With that, he stuffed another piece of sushi into his mouth and swaggered away.

Yes, no one can threaten you, only someone can kill you. I've kindly reminded you, you can't blame me if you don't take it seriously and end up being killed.

As for the murder, if it can be stopped, Zero will still stop it, but this time Zero has no impression of how the case happened, so there is no good way.

But then again, I was humiliated in front of someone just now, and I reminded the other party to be careful of the impending danger, tsk, is there anyone in the world with such a good conscience as mine?

Just as Zero was praising himself a little narcissistically, Xiaolan took Conan and the others to the door of the hotel, and Zero saw this and followed out with Ersan. Maya and Akua have been feasting in the restaurant, and Zero has been ignoring them.

After arriving outside the hotel, Xiaolan said to Kartis through the intercom, "Mr. Kartis, I'm outside the door." ”

The hotel is a six-storey building, with restaurants on the ground floor and guest rooms on the second to sixth floors. On each floor of the second to sixth floors, there are five windows on the side of the main entrance of the hotel, which means that there are five rows and five columns, a total of 25 windows, arranged in a square on this wall.

At this time, some of the twenty-five rooms were lit up, while others were pitch black.

"I see!" This is Kogoro said, "Those three guys want to use the lighting of the room to make a K-shape." ”

If you want to use room lights to form a K-shape, then let the lights of all five rooms in the first column, the middle room in the second and third columns, the second and fourth rooms in the fourth column, and the first and fifth rooms in the fifth column be lit, and the rest of the rooms will be turned off.

"I see...... "Heiji Hattori said, "Ray Kartis asked you to do you a favor, let you check the lights, and then use the walkie-talkie to notify them." ”

Xiaolan nodded, and at this moment, Katis's voice sounded from the intercom: "Miss Maori, how is the light on?" ”

Xiaolan then looked up at the windows, observed for a while, and then reported: "The room in the upper left corner is not lit, but the room next door that should not be turned on is lit, it must be a mistake." There was also a room in the middle where the curtains were closed, so that no light could be heard. Finally, the room in the bottom right corner has not been lit yet. ”

After that, the voices of the three came from the walkie-talkie one after another.

Ricard: "I'm in the room where the lights are on wrong, and I'm going to turn the lights off right away and go next door to turn the lights on." ”

Mike: "I'm in a room where the curtains weren't opened, and I'm going to open the curtains now." ”

Katis: "I'll go to the room in the lower right corner and turn on the lights. ”

It didn't take long for the lights to be turned off, the curtains to be drawn, and the lights to be turned on, and a big K was finally formed.

Katis's voice came over the intercom again: "How's it going, Miss Maori." ”

"Everything is fine, the K is done."

While Xiaolan was speaking, a gunshot rang out, and then I saw that the windows of the third row of rooms on the third floor were broken, and broken glass shards were scattered all over the ground, causing the guests outside the hotel to take shelter.

Not long after the gunshots rang out, the three foreigners poked their heads out of the window, looked around and asked in alarm.

“what’s up！”

“What happened？”

“Gun fire？”

While the three of them were screaming, the guests were also shouting in panic.

Reika Hasami's expression was slightly flustered, isn't it, why are you so unlucky, and you have encountered an incident again after the last Snow Yasha murder? Although Yoko Okino was also a little uneasy, she calmed down a lot after all, and it seems that she has encountered this situation many times......

Conan and Heiji immediately ran into the hotel, ran up the stairs, and rushed to the room where the window was broken.

The door to the room was open, and not far behind the door was the scene of bad reporter Ed McKay lying on his stomach, bleeding profusely.

Ed was motionless, his eyes wide open, he was supposed to be dead, and he couldn't blink a blind eye.

Conan and Heiji walked over to the corpse and crouched down to observe, carefully taking care not to get blood on the soles of his feet.

And at this time, Zero also came to the door. Seeing Ed's corpse, Zero silently probed, and his own admonition really couldn't change the outcome of Ed's killing.

"You're so late." Pingji noticed Zero, and couldn't help but taunt. This guy obviously didn't run up, but walked up quickly.

When Ling Zi heard this, he said indifferently: "The murderer is armed with a gun, what if I, a weak woman, rushed up and took a picture with the murderer, and was shot dead and injured by him." Isn't it enough to have the two of you charging ahead? ”

Hearing Zero call herself a weak woman, both Heiji and Conan couldn't help but roll their eyes. Are you still a weak woman? If you are weak, I am afraid that there is no woman in this world who can be called powerful.

"Did you find any clues?" Zero asked.

Heiji didn't want to deal with Zero, but Conan responded, "Not yet, but the deceased's actions may be some death message." ”

Zero looked at Ed's hands, only to see that his left hand was holding his belt, his right hand was the ring finger and little finger bent, and the other three fingers were straight, which looked a bit like the gesture of the number 3, but it was not exactly (the Japanese gesture of 3 is to hold the thumb and little finger, and the index finger, middle finger and ring finger are extended, and China is divided differently by region, some areas are to hold the thumb and index finger, and some areas are also to put the thumb and little finger).

Death message...... Zero thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

However, looking at Conan and Heiji's appearance, he couldn't figure out the meaning of this death message for the time being.

At this time, Pingji suddenly said to Zero: "By the way, I saw the deceased chatting with you just now, what did you two talk about?" ”

Zero glanced at Heiji, and said angrily: "Why, after suspecting me of being a monster thief Kidd last time, Hattori Detective shouldn't be suspicious of me again this time, right?" You know, I was standing with you when the gunshots rang out. ”

"It's just a routine inquiry, so if it's not inconvenient, you can tell me."

"It's just an inconsequential conversation, he wants to dig up some news about me."

"The two of you seem to have been chatting for a long time, can you talk more about the content?"

Hearing this, Zero walked up to Pingji, looked into the other party's eyes, and said, "I won't tell you." ”

The content of the dialogue really can't be told to Pingji.,I said that Ed's guy Yintang is black and has a bloody disaster.,If you want Hattori to listen to it, you might have what kind of associations you will have.。 What's wrong with you standing with us, maybe you're going to hire a killer, or how would you have predicted Eddard's death?

Zero refuses to answer, which makes Heiji very depressed, but there is nothing to be done. Don't say that she is a detective, even if the police ask Zero, if she refuses to answer on the grounds of privacy, the police can't force her.

One after another, people came to the door of the room and wanted to check the situation in the room, but they were all blocked by Hattori and only let Mori Kogoro inside.

It didn't take long for the police to arrive, led by the Osaka Police Station's Otaki Goro Police Department.

Otaki Goro is very burly, and when he sees Heiji, he immediately greets the other party. After all, Heiji, as the son of Hattori Heizou, has also been taken care of by the Otaki Police Department many times, and the relationship between the two can be said to be quite harmonious, much closer than the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and the Twilight Police Department.

For Maori Kogoro and Conan, Otaki naturally already knew each other, so Heiji focused on introducing Zero to him.

Of course, with Heiji's current attitude towards Zero, of course, it is impossible to say too many good things, so just say Zero's name and add the sentence "She is also a high school detective" and it will be over.

When Zero saw Otaki Goro, he also checked his attributes first as usual.

Otaki Goro – Force: B+, Intelligence: B-, Intimacy: D+.

The overall rating is OK, it's a good cop. But what's going on with the intimacy of this D+ at first sight, I haven't heard that Otaki Goro is a womanizer, could it be a hidden pervert attribute?

Otaki hadn't finished listening to Heiji's introduction, and as soon as he saw the zero in front of him, he immediately shook the other party's hand and said excitedly: "You are Miss Kanedaichi, I have already seen your deeds on the news." Alas, you can resist a world-class monster like Lupin III, you are really powerful, you can say that you have become my idol! ”

Pingji looked dumbfounded directly, Uncle Otaki, what are you doing? What's more, "You've become my idol", you're a long-famous policeman, don't show such an expression of a star-chasing fan, do you know that you will make me lose face when you say this......

Zero is not too surprised by this gesture of the Otaki Police Department.,After all, there was a D+ intimacy when we first met.,I thought the other party might have a hidden lustful attribute at first.,Now it seems that it should be because of my past glorious deeds and I have a fan-like idol worship feeling.。

There is a police department-level policeman who has become his fan, and the vanity in Zero's heart is naturally greatly satisfied, and his expression can't help but be a little proud, and his nose can't help but be a little upturned. And when Heiji felt the change of zero, he was even more unhappy, and his teeth grinded and rattled.

Hmph, isn't it just to resist a Lupin III, what's the big deal? If I were on the scene, let alone resisting that guy, I would definitely be able to arrest him on the spot. Wait, this time I'm going to solve the case before you, and let Uncle Otaki take a good look at who is the detective with the stronger reasoning ability.

Sensing Heiji's psychological fluctuations, Conan hurriedly persuaded him: "Hattori, keep a normal mind, once the mentality is not right, it will affect the reasoning." ”

"I see, I can still handle this bit of proportion." Although he said this, there was no sign of relief on his expression.

First, the police confirmed the identity of the deceased, and the deceased's name was Ed McKay, 48 years old, a native of Chicago, USA, and a newspaper reporter.

Then the body was examined, and I saw that the police officers of the forensic department were busy for a while, and then reported to Otaki: "The deceased was shot in the chest and died, judging from the friction marks of blood on the floor, after the victim was hit by the bullet and fell to the ground, he still lay on the ground and struggled for a while before dying." ”

Otaki nodded, and asked Heiji again, "Heiji, do you know when the gunshots rang out?" ”

"I looked at my watch as soon as the shots rang out, and it was 8:05."

Later, Hattori explained the specific details to Otaki, and the three owners of the K3 Hotel at that time shuttled through the rooms on the second to sixth floors of the hotel in order to make the room lights show the shape of a K-shape, and Xiaolan told them the specific situation through the intercom. At that time, he waited outside the hotel with Xiaolan and others, and some guests also watched the lighting arrangement outside the hotel, and some guests continued to eat in the restaurant. However, there should be no guests on the guest floor, and the only ones on the second through sixth are Ricard Barrera, Mike Norwood, Ray Katis, and Ed Mackay, who is unknown why he appeared on the guest floor.

"So, should one of these three foreigners be the murderer?"

Kogoro Mori agreed: "Those three people really hate the reporter, and there should be a motive for the killing." ”

"Probably not." At this point, Conan interjected, "The prisoner was killed in room 303, and before he was killed, Mr. Barrera turned on the lights in room 601, Mr. Norwood opened the curtains in room 403, and Mr. Kartis turned on the lights in room 205. The actions of the three can be said to have been completed almost at the same time, and not long after their actions were completed, the gunshots rang out, and then the three quickly put their heads out of the window, and the room they were in was at least one floor away from the victim's room, and it was impossible to complete the action of turning on the lights or pulling the curtains in such a short time, and then ran to room 303 to kill the victim, and then returned to the original room and stuck their heads out of the window. ”

"So who will be the murderer?" The Otaki Police Department muttered.

"In my opinion, it's one of the guests." Conan continued, "Mr. Mackay was invited into this room, shot him, and then fled the scene before my brother and my second brother arrived. ”

"If this is the case, there are hundreds of guests on the scene, and it will be very difficult to check the guests one by one, and if the time drags on for a long time, it will not be easy to find out the murderer......

At this time, Ping Ji spoke: "The victim left a death message, if you can decipher her death message, you may save a lot of work." ”

I took a nap in the afternoon, and I slept for three and a half hours, sorry for the late update.
