"Rum?"

In the canteen of Rice Flower International Hospital, after hearing Belmode mention this name, Bai Hejing was puzzled for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered what Belmode was referring to.

"Are you talking about Rum's recent actions in Europe?"

I remember that two days ago, Shirakawa Qing did seem to have mentioned to her that Rum wanted to make some big moves in Europe recently.

It is said that he discovered a very special ore in a small country in Europe through some channel, and I heard that this ore can release quite amazing energy under the stimulation of some way, and in short, it can be used to make bombs.

According to Rum, this particular ore is a very effective weapon that can easily wipe out a village when detonated, even if it is just a small piece the size of a thumb.

The country where this ore was excavated is called the "Kingdom of Andrew", which is a very small country in southern Europe that still retains a feudal monarchy.

According to Rum's idea, he wanted to dispose of the current king of the country directly, and then support the organization's own people to take the throne and directly control the small country from the top.

After all, although the Kingdom of Andrew is small, it is also a country that is officially recognized internationally, and if you want to carry out a coup d'état in such a country, there are many internal and external influences that need to be taken into account.

In particular, the current king of Andrew's kingdom is also called "Holy King" by his people, and it is not easy to overthrow such a well-known king in the country.

As far as Bai Hejing knows, Bai Heqing did not express any support or opposition to Rum's action, and it seems that he does not want to intervene.

It is estimated that the main leading cadres of the organization in various European countries will also hold an emergency meeting in the next two days to make a final discussion on this matter.

This is also a practice left over from the time of Regel.

At present, the main leading cadres of the organization in European countries have basically been promoted by Bai Heqing.

Over the past decade of the Regel era, Shirakawa Kiyoshi has given them a great deal of power in their respective regions.

Except for the promotion, appointment, dismissal, and punishment of cadres, almost all other matters can be discussed by them, and after a common plan is reached, they can submit it to Bai Heqing, who will make the final decision.

And this time, these cadres probably want to adopt this plan to deal with it.

In the final analysis, it is the unstable foundation of Rum in Europe and the United States.

In the past decade, Shirakawa Kiyoshi has thoroughly refined the organization and management of Europe and the United States, and this inertia of the Regel era cannot be reversed by Rum in the short term.

"Yes." In the headphones, Belmode's voice said: "Last night, he made it clear that he would support Rum's action this time. ”

[Make it clear?] 】

Bai Hejing was a little surprised, she still had an indifferent attitude before, which was obviously wrong.

"What does he think?"

"What do you think?"

Although she was speechless about her mother's riddler character, Bai Hejing didn't bother to complain anymore, just connected what Belmode said before and thought about it for a while, and she sensed the meaning of Bai Heqing's move.

"He's deliberately exposing himself."

But it's another trick of the fisherman.

It's just that last time he fished with rum, this time he used himself.

In just a moment, Bai Hejing figured out the joints.

Last time, Bai Heqing at least prepared a bait, but this time he probably won't even prepare a bait, so it's probably a straight hook and hard fishing.

As for whether he can catch a fish in the end, it doesn't matter, for Bai Heqing, as long as he can see the shadow of the fish clearly this time, it will be the success of the plan.

Only when he knows what kind of fish is hidden under the deep pool, can he make appropriate arrangements in the future.

"So, you really don't know where he is now?" Bai Hejing asked again.

If her speculation was correct, after Shirakawa Kiyoshi made it clear that he would support Rum, his fishing plan had already been arranged, and the sudden disappearance was only to increase the authenticity of the fishing plan.

Next, he just had to wait for the fish under the deep pool to emerge on their own.

"How could I lie to you about such a thing......" Asked repeatedly by Bai Hejing, Belmode sighed helplessly.

Bai Hejing has not been very close to her since she was a child.

This child is too similar to her father's previous personality......

"Did he leave anything behind?" Without continuing to ask about the topic, Bai Hejing asked instead.

"During the time he left, the affairs of the Tokyo headquarters were handed over to you and Gin to co-preside over it." Belmode said.

"Understood." Bai Hejing just nodded, her tone was flat, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest.

She wasn't surprised, she had guessed the answer before she even opened her mouth, and she had only asked Belmode to make sure again.

"Goodbye."

After getting all the information that he wanted to know, Shirakawa Jing, who felt that there was no need to talk any further, decided to cut off the communication.

As if she felt that the word was a little too cold, she added another sentence at the end.

"I'm hanging."

"Okay."

After hearing Belmode's reply, Bai Hejing cut off the communication, picked up the empty plate, and left the corner.

[In other words, does the father not really care if Rum's operation can be successful?] 】

Thinking about this in his heart, after thinking about it for a short time, Bai Hejing finally made a decision.

“……”

On the other side, after Karasuma Ying and Conan returned to the studio, Officer Sato, who was still at the scene of the death, greeted him.

"Xiaoying, are you back?"

"What's wrong? Officer Sato? ”

"The officers of the Forensic Identification Bureau have just uncovered two important pieces of evidence, one of which is the costume worn by the victim, which has indeed suffered considerable damage to the chest area.

Although there is no anomaly on the surface of the costume, its internal structure has long been damaged and shattered immediately after the slightest impact. ”

"Is it artificial?" Karasuma asked.

"Well, and inside the costume worn by the victim, the forensic department has extracted the complete fingerprints of his stuntman Katsu Komiya, in addition to the victim himself." Miwako Sato replied.

"Then the second point is the layer of air cushion that was smashed by the victim, according to the report of the forensic department, there are also traces of vandalism on that layer of air cushion, and the smooth hole is indeed caused by some kind of sharp object.

Not only that, but there are also adhesive tape marks on the breach that the vandal has pasted with tape, and such an air cushion also only needs a little pressure to fall off immediately, and it cannot withstand the impact caused by falling objects. ”

As soon as Miwako Sato finished speaking, she saw Wataru Takagi walking over with a person.

This person has a strong physique, but he has a face that is angry, and it is Katsuragi Doshin's stuntman Katsu Komiya.

"Officer...... Well, do you have anything to do with me? Komiya Katsu looked at Miwako Sato with a serious face, and her face was full of fear and panic.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Komiya, I just wanted to ask you something."

"Good, good ......"

Miwako Sato showed a hint of a smile, and after Komiya Katsu barely relaxed a little, she asked directly.

"After our investigation, we found that the costume on the victim had serious signs of vandalism, and we also extracted your fingerprints from the damaged parts inside the costume, Mr. Komiya, can you explain this?"

"Uh, that, this, I'm ......"

Being directly pointed out by Miwako Sato, Komiya Katsu looked a little flustered, he subconsciously raised his hand, looked around, and finally lowered his head again, looking dejected.

Seeing this, Karasuma Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Komiya, although it is not yet possible to conclude that you are the murderer.

But because you are very suspicious, if you have nothing to explain yourself, the police can arrest you until the real murderer is found, or your murderer's identity is completely confirmed.

So, if you want, we also hope that you can make it clear here and clear your name. ”

After returning from the warehouse, Karasuma Ying knew very well that Komiya Katsu could not be a murderer, he did not have the necessary conditions to become a murderer, at most he was an accomplice to assist the murderer, and this is what she needs to distinguish at the moment.

"I see......" Under Karasuma Ying's persuasion, Komiya Katsu sighed again, and finally spoke, "Well, I did have the costume that destroyed Katsuragi......"

"When was it? Producer Shibata also said he had seen ......," Conan asked.

"Did the original producer see it too? It was two days ago, when I was in Katsuragi after work, and a man quietly ran to the warehouse to try to break his costume...... But、But! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Gongsheng suddenly became excited, and said loudly:

"But I went back after reconsidering! I didn't think I could do this kind of thing, so I repaired the costume again!

Besides, I was afraid that Katsuragi would wear this costume in the future, so I put it in the pile of costumes that needed to be maintained!

Police officer! Trust me! I'm a bit of a trick on the costumes, though! But I changed it back right away! I really don't know why Katsuragi is wearing this costume today! ”

"I see, Mr. Komiya, please calm down first."

Turning to a certain forensic officer behind him, Miwako Sato looked at Komiya Katsu again and asked:

"Then Mr. Komiya, what was the motivation that prompted you to do this in the first place? Is it also trying to murder Mr. Katsuragi? ”

"No, it's not......" Komiya Katsu heard this, and his face returned to that angry look, "Although Katsuragi is a junior in the troupe, he is not only tall and handsome, but also has the style of a big star.

If he can grasp this opportunity for Oniemar, he will definitely be able to soar to the sky.

Compared with him, although I am a senior, I am not as good as him in height or appearance, and I always play the role of some monsters, I really envy him......

So, I was just trying to make a little accident and get him hurt a little bit......"

"So you lied that you were injured, and you also manipulated the costume just to make Mr. Katsuragi get injured while filming?" Karasuma asked.

"Yes, that's what I originally thought, but when I went back, I thought that Katsuragi would perform that difficult jump himself, and I was really afraid that something would happen to him, so I went back and changed it back......"

"So, Mr. Komiya, did you also do something about the air cushion that was smashed through by the victim?" Miwako Sato asked.

"It's not me! I really don't know what the situation is with that air cushion! Komiya Katsu replied excitedly, "I just want Katsuragi to get hurt a little!" Falling from such a high place, if there is a problem with the air cushion, he will definitely die! How could I possibly do such a thing! ”

"Understood, so do you have any clues you can give us about this air cushion? For example, who moved it out? Has anyone ever approached it on purpose, done something to it? ”

"If you move out, you will be moved by several staff members, and as for getting close to it, it seems to be ...... Yes! Right! ”

Suddenly remembering something, Komiya Katsu hurriedly said: "It was when I went back to the warehouse to repair the costume two days ago, and Kawada happened to come out of the warehouse at that time!" ”

Yumi Kawada, an avid fan of Katsuragi Doshin.

"Because Kawada is not in charge of the things in the warehouse, I also curiously asked her what she was doing in the warehouse, but at that time she didn't say anything, and left with a gloomy face, and ...... And then there's Shibata Producer! ”

"Is there anything wrong with him?" Karasuma asked.

"Producer Shibata came early this morning, and when I came to the studio with two other staff members, I saw him touching and touching the air cushion alone, and he looked very nervous when he saw us!"

"Understood, we'll investigate this later, Mr. Komiya, you can go back first."

Miwako Sato nodded and asked a police officer to take Katsu Komiya back.

"Officer Sato."

At the same time, the officers of the forensic department, who had been ordered by Miwako Sato before, also returned from outside.

"We have just checked, and there are indeed a large number of traces of liquid glue sewing on the chest of that costume, but on top of these glue marks, there are more and more serious traces of man-made damage......

"In other words, after Katsu Komiya destroyed the costume for the first time and glued it with glue, the costume was damaged a second time and more seriously?"

"Yes."

"Sister Xiaoying, is it possible for actors to confuse the two between the costumes that are in normal use and the costumes that need to be repaired?" Conan asked suddenly, making a final confirmation.

"It's impossible in this crew."

Knowing what he was asking, Karasuma replied, "I just saw it in the warehouse, and the two are stored separately and marked in detail, so there is no confusion between the actors." ”

In other words, there is no such thing as Katsuragi Doujin accidentally picking up the costume from the pile of costumes that need to be repaired and wearing it again.

But Katsuragi Douzhen was indeed killed in that costume today, so there is only one possibility.

Two days ago, after Katsu Komiya threw the costume into a pile of costumes that needed to be repaired, a man came to the warehouse and destroyed the costume a second time, and at the same time hung it back on Katsuragi Doujin's hanger.

When will this be? Who did it?
