225 The little mourning of the captives
As the figure started the search by typing "Sherry" into the search bar on that particular webpage on his phone, the page jumped, revealing personal information about Shiho Miyano.
And among them, the figure pays the most attention to the photo of Shiho Miyano -
In this way, after seeing the brown hair of Shiho Miyano in the photo, the figure turned his gaze to Xiao Ai's side again, and noticed her hairstyle, faintly, the figure showed a look of surprise on his face......
……
"Hey! Where are you going? ”
At this time, Conan, who was being dragged away by Xiao Ai, asked with some puzzlement.
In this regard, Xiao Ai, who was going to take Conan to the crowd, said solemnly:
"Run! Staying here is a waste of time, and it's dangerous. And if we are found out by Officer Twilight, how are we going to explain why we are here? ”
But in this regard, Conan broke free of Xiao Wai's hand, shook his head, and said seriously:
"No, at least wait until I investigate! It was now certain that Pisco was in the room, and that he had killed the Swallowing Councillor, and that the other party had not used the drug...... Therefore, with the police at the scene now, it is possible to directly confirm his identity and control him, ......"
"Don't be stupid!"
Hearing this, seeing that Conan was still planning to tease here, Xiao Ai's eyes suddenly widened, and he almost said to Conan in some hysteria:
"What can you do in this situation, where the other party still successfully completes the killing of the target under the protection of the police? If we are not careful, we may all be exposed! You know the consequences! ”
"Of course I do!"
With his hands clenched into fists, his body trembled a little, and in the face of Xiao Ai's question, Conan couldn't help but reply solemnly:
"But ......"
Saying that, looking at Xiao Ai's expression, Conan was very unwilling, but in the end he just said:
"Give me a little more time, and if I can't find a clue, we'll leave!"
As if pleading, Conan said.
In this regard, seeing Conan's resolute choice, Xiao Ai looked around, but did not find anything abnormal around, and the people present were also being interrogated by the police at this time, so in desperation, Xiao Ai had no choice but to nod and say to Conan:
"Only for a short time. When the time comes, we'll have to leave anyway! ”
Seeing this, Conan nodded slightly, and then tried to start investigating the vicinity of the scene......
……
And at the same time, on the police side-
After confirming that Shigehiko Swallowguchi had died on the spot, Officer Twilight began questioning the people around him.
Among them, Yasuo Sanyasu, the owner of the professional baseball team, saw that the police came in such a timely manner, so he couldn't help asking:
"You police are coming pretty fast!"
"Because I received an anonymous report that there would be a murder here tonight, that someone was going to take the life of a member of the Koukou Councillor here."
In this regard, when questioned, Officer Twilight recalled that when Shinichi Kudo contacted him, he mentioned that he must not say that he reported the case, so Officer Twilight casually said "anonymous report".
After saying this, Officer Twilight began to ask the people present:
"When the chandelier fell, who of you was closest to Councillor Swallow? Were there any suspicious people around him at that time? ”
As she spoke, she saw that among the people present, the actress Chrisswin Yard did not seem to understand Japanese, so Officer Twilight asked an English-speaking officer to negotiate with her.
Later, the people present all replied that they had not seen any suspicious people, and among them, the university professor Yoshiji Taruchi was a little afraid to talk about the fact that he was almost affected and even his clothes were scratched.
In this regard, faced with such a situation, and the investigation at the scene did not find any clues worthy of investigation, Officer Twilight couldn't help but fall into thought.
At this moment, based on the current situation, the music producer Naoya Tarumi said impatiently:
"It was an accident! The crystal chandelier fell because the chain was old, and the politician happened to be underneath, so it suffered. I don't think there's any reason to keep us in this lethargic, nasty venue, right? ”
It seems that he is a little dissatisfied with the police's forced way to keep everyone at the scene, and at the same time does not want to continue to stay near the scene of the incident, the music producer can't help but say.
But at this time, Kenzo Hakuyama, the head of the automobile company on the other side, said:
"But, didn't someone report in advance that there would be a murder? I guess before investigating us, we should find out who reported the letter, right? Why did this person know that the Swallowing Councillor would be killed here? Don't you police think it's too much of a coincidence? Maybe that person might be the murderer......"
"It must be a prank!"
In this regard, regarding Kenzo Kashiyama's statement, the master of ceremonies, Maikura Naomichi, said:
"Because there are rumors of bribery among the members of the Swallowing Mouth, it is normal that it will attract a lot of disgust......
"That's how it should be!"
Hearing this, the three-bottle Yasuo was a little indifferent and started to eat the food on the table:
"It's just a prank phone call that happened to be an accident...... It can only be said to be retribution, right? ”
"Heh, you still ate in front of the corpse?"
Seeing this, Naoya Tarumi couldn't help but say.
"I didn't do anything bad, I had nothing to fear. And I'm hungry too......"
As he spoke, Yasuo Sanju scooped up a spoonful of food with a spoon and sent it to his mouth, but after seeing that he chewed a few times, he seemed to have bitten something hard, and suddenly his expression changed, and he spit the hard object in his mouth to the ground, and then he was angry and wanted to call the chef over.
And in this regard, Conan, who noticed the situation here, saw what was spit out by Yasuo in three bottles, and found that it was a fragment of a crystal chandelier light chain, so he couldn't help but wrap it in a handkerchief and pick it up, and his expression was puzzled-
"This kind of thing, how can it be there?"
Solemnly, Conan looked at the plate of food in Yasuo's hand with three bottles.
"In short, Councillor Swallow was crushed to death by a falling crystal chandelier. If this is really murder, then someone must have tampered with the chandelier beforehand, and then took advantage of the slide show to pull the Swallower under the chandelier and let the chandelier fall...... In that case, you police officers just need to check the chandelier and the ceiling to see if there are any hands and feet? If not, it would have been an accident......"
At this point, writer Minoru Nanjo expressed her opinion, and after she noticed that the police had found nothing, she couldn't help but say:
"But it seems that there is no such trace here. So, officer, if you have a clear investigation, can you let us get out of here sooner? ”
Suddenly, with Minori Nanjo's speech, everyone present for a while also agreed with her statement, and asked the police to let herself and others leave quickly.
In this regard, looking at the chaotic scene, Xiao Ai felt that it was time, and pulled Conan to leave:
"Since there are no clues, let's hurry up......"
"No...... There are still clues! ”
Smiling slightly, Conan said proudly.
"Just that fragment? You can't find a murderer at all! ”
Xiao Ai replied seriously.
"And what if there are two clues?"
As he spoke, Conan took out the handkerchief he had obtained at the time of the crime, pointed to the text written on it, "Remembrance of the Director of Sasumaki" and said:
"This is supposed to be the handkerchief that the owner of the handkerchief received when he came here...... And as I have just observed, everyone gets a different color of the handkerchief, so it is actually very simple to find out the owner of this handkerchief! ”
"Do you want to say that the owner of this handkerchief is a prisoner? What proof do you take? ”
Xiao Wai said solemnly.
"Not so sure...... But I don't think it's zero-related to events, you say? ”
Somewhat confident, Conan guessed.
Seeing this, Xiao Wai was a little helpless-
Isn't it just a bit of a word!
But then Conan thought for a moment and continued:
"Anyway, we're going out, so let's stop by the door and ask who got these purple handkerchiefs!"
In this way, seeing that Conan was finally planning to leave, Xiao Ai didn't say much, and the two walked quickly towards the door guarded by the police, thinking that they should be able to go out immediately if they found some reason as children-
However, at this moment, Officer Twilight couldn't resist the pressure of the people in the field, after all, he really couldn't find the possibility of murder, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was unexpected.
So, just as Conan and Xiao Wai were about to go out, the blockade of the scene was lifted at this moment-
Then, as the door opened, the reporters who had gathered outside the door at some point, as well as the guests who were swarming to leave the scene, suddenly blocked the door.
In this regard, Conan and Xiao Ai could only take the child's body and forcibly squeeze out-
However, in the midst of this chaotic crowd, a hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Ai and covered Xiao Ai's mouth with a handkerchief stained with medicine.
Immediately, Xiao Ai, who realized that something was wrong, was suddenly startled, but her consciousness began to blur due to the drug, and looking at Conan who was desperately squeezing out of the crowd in front of her, Xiao Ai finally lost consciousness...... (End of chapter)
