18 Killers
At that moment, Shigemitsu Kazama had already thought that the sleeping pills in the drink that the deceased drank with his bodyguards could actually be put in through ice cubes-
As long as the ice cubes are made with water mixed with sleeping pills, then naturally, when the water from the ice cubes melts into the drink, then the purpose of putting sleeping pills into the drink can be achieved.
And it just so happened that the ice cubes in the drinks they drank were from Yuuki Ona and Kamai Ryu.
In addition, at the time of the crime, neither of them had an alibi, and at the same time, they also had the T-shirt printed with the trademark of the "KEI no Okama" company, so the suspicion of the two of them is extremely great.
Now, the crux of the remaining problem is where the most important murder weapon is......
The police officers at the scene had been searching around the area for a long time but had not found the murder weapon, and the items that could be used as murder knives in the stalls of the two of them had also been examined, but none of them were murder weapons.
So, if the real murderer is among the two of them, where will the murder weapon that killed Mr. Soma Ji be hidden by them?
Since the location of the murder weapon has not been found just now, Shigemitsu Kazama thinks that the investigation of the case may have fallen into a misunderstanding, and the scope of the murderer should not be limited to the people at the scene, after all, the people who have the "KEI no Hill" T-shirt are not only those at the scene, it is possible that the murderer is an outsider, and he has already escaped with the murder weapon.
But now, as Conan's words to Yuuki Ona reached Shigemitsu Kazama's ears, all of a sudden, Shigemitsu Kazama seemed to understand something-
"What? I don't understand what you're saying, these are just ordinary ice cubes! ”
In this regard, in the face of Conan's speculation, Yuuki Ona replied calmly.
But the corners of Conan's mouth smiled slightly, and then said:
"In that case, then melt that ice and show me, it just so happens that there is hot water here......"
"Miss Yuuki, I'm going to get a piece of ice from here!"
And at this moment, without waiting for Yuki Ona to respond, Shigemitsu Kazama, who had already figured everything out, walked directly to the stall, in front of the styrofoam box with ice cubes, and was about to start and take out the ice cube that melted the fastest-
"No, no!"
Seeing this, seeing Shigemitsu Kazama rushing up to take the ice cubes like this, at this moment, Yuki Ona's face finally panicked, and he wanted to stop Shigemitsu Kazama's move.
However, Shigemitsu Kazama didn't give Yuuki Ona a chance to react, so he grabbed the ice that had melted very much, and asked the police officers on the side to prepare a basin of water, pour hot water into it, and then throw the ice into it, and use the hot water to boil the ice-
"This is the fastest ice cube to melt!"
With a serious expression, Shigemitsu Kazama said as he watched as the ice cube sank into the hot water.
"Stop!"
At this time, it was completely too late for Inna Yuuki to stop it.
After the ice cubes were submerged in the hot water, Shigemitsu Kazama and Mamoru Hito looked down at the ice cubes in the basin with solemn expressions, waiting for the ice cubes to melt -
Then, the two of them saw that the ice cube did not melt and become smaller from the outermost part as usual, but it was obvious that as the ice cube melted at an accelerated rate in the hot water, a hole was directly melted on a certain surface of the ice cube, and when this hole was melted, it was obvious that the internal structure of the ice cube also began to melt rapidly.
By the time the inside of the ice cube has melted into a space, the outer shell of the ice cube has not yet completely melted.
And, as the inside of the ice melted out of this space, along the opening, a transparent object also slipped out of the ice block—
"Ice? Wrong! It's a glass knife! ”
Shocked to see that the item that slipped out of the ice was a transparent knife, Shigemitsu Kazama and Mamoru Hito, immediately understood everything-
"You hide the glass knife in a container made of ice cubes, and in order to hide the outline, you fill the inside of the ice cubes with cold water, and then put on the lid made of ice cubes. In this way, from the outside, this ice cube is no different from other ice cubes.
"However, because the inside of the ice cube is actually filled with cold water, not the actual ice, this ice will melt earlier than the other ice cubes over time, and more water will seep out!"
With a serious expression, Conan summed up the method of hiding the murder weapon.
"Miss Yuuki, did you kill Mr. Soma?"
And because of the appearance of this glass knife, Shigemitsu Kazama immediately questioned Yuki Inna.
"Why did you kill him!"
Mamoru Hito asked with a shocked expression.
In this regard, at this moment, in the face of the questioning of the two policemen, Yuki Inna's expression became a little hideous, and he said very unwillingly:
"Yes! I killed people! I heard that if you commit a perfect crime, you can get 100 million yen from a certain organization, so I will do it! ”
"Organization...... Not again! ”
Listening to Yuuki Inna's answer, Conan was shocked at once, but he didn't expect this incident, listening to the description, it was actually related to the organization mentioned by the murderer in the case of Asakatsu Yamanaka last time.
"Organized! Where is the organization! Please let us know more! ”
And naturally, it was because of the investigation of the last incident, there was information about the murderer being commissioned, and the two criminal policemen who wanted to come to Soma Ji, after hearing this, also immediately reacted to the connection, so Huo Tomori hurriedly asked Yuuki Inna-
"How could I possibly tell you."
However, in a cold tone, at such a time, Yuuki Ona replied:
"I still want to live......"
"Whoaaaaaaaaa
While Yuuki Ina was talking, a commotion came from the drink stall on the side-
"The news says that the 'KEI no Hills' company has gone out of business!"
"Our company!"
Surprised to the point of disbelief, in front of the drink stall, the two company employees wearing "KEI no Oka T-shirts" said this unacceptable fact-
"The general manager was just killed, and the company went out of business in a blink of an eye!"
In this regard, hearing their conversation, Shigemitsu Kazama and Conan were both incredulous about the change in the state of affairs-
"yes, I can't name the organization."
At this time, after the employees of the "KEI no Okama" company said this, Yuki Ona said with a hideous and terrifying expression:
"Let's call it 'X'...... 'X' is extremely powerful, and if you want to track them down from a small criminal police like you, they will only be completely destroyed, so I advise you not to investigate deeply."
"You ......"
"What did you say!"
Hearing this, Shigemitsu Kazama and Mamoru Hito asked with indignant expressions.
"Once you know the name of that organization, you will come out of nowhere and kill you...... It's like Soma! ”
With a sneer, Yuuki Ona said.
"What kind ......of organization is that?"
And in this regard, listening to Yuki Inna's description, such a huge force......
In Conan's mind, the image of Gin once again involuntarily emerged......
……
"Soma was killed, and the hill of 'KEI' went out of business......"
At the same time, in the building of the "KEI Hill" company, the employees who saw the "KEI Hill" were panicked because they learned that the company had closed down, and at this moment they no longer mopped the floor, but packed up their things, and it seemed that they had completed the cleaning, and reached out to press down the brim of the overalls hat, and their thoughts were a little sudden-
"Lucky or unfortunate...... You guys are in too much of a hurry, so ...... Gave me a chance!
"So what do you do next? So-called, 'killers'? ”
