"Finally caught up." Looking at the back of Narumi Asai, who was manipulating the music of the personality mask, Akemi Miyano sighed.

"Leader is sometimes unreasonable. Even if we have sufficient combat power now, it will be too difficult to break into the core of the temple in such a short period of time. As he spoke, Hoshikawa Teru, whose hand was still in the shadow of the statue, couldn't help but yawn, "Fortunately, this guy's hall doesn't have an overly complicated structure. ”

"After all, it's just a producer with a fat brain, and it's normal to lack imagination and artistic cells." Akemi Miyano commented pertinently, "It is good to be able to imagine a royal residence like Hampton Court Palace for himself, which proves that he has also watched the movies he produces." ”

"Yes, but not much." Noah, who was standing on the sidelines monitoring the situation, couldn't help but shake his head, "Hampton Court Palace has more than 1,000 rooms and a huge garden area, so he is more in line with what he imagined a 'luxury palace' to look like." ”

"A lot of producers are like that." Kimie Shimabukuro, who graduated from a film-related major, commented pertinently, "At least he has read the script...... Or at least I've seen some movie design. ”

"It looks like it's almost time." Akemi Miyano looked down at her phone, "Lunar, slow down." ”

Asai Narumi glanced at Kawabata, who was strangling his neck in embarrassment and could no longer let out a cruel word, and stopped the action of making demons.

In the past few days, due to immersion in too high-intensity battles, his combat ability has been fully exercised, and the use of this move has become more and more comfortable.

Although they don't kill people in most cases, there are always some hard-mouthed guys who don't believe in evil and need a little bit of a monster thief to shock, and he will cooperate with Noah from time to time to make the target really feel the experience of life being threatened.

Although the method does sound extreme, as long as it is effective, he doesn't mind what kind of method is used.

It can only be said that suffocation is really a very painful experience, the feeling of oxygen being squeezed out of breath little by little, like watching life leave oneself, is the terrible feeling that is closest to near-death.

As long as he doesn't slip his hands and really make trouble, he can indeed exert a strong psychotherapeutic effect.

Shadow who had regained his ability to breathe gasped for breath as he shuddered and crawled towards the nondescript throne behind him, carefully observing the group of intruders in front of him.

Akemi Miyano was still staring at her phone, and after a few minutes, she spat out something that made him desperate.

"Well, that's okay, go ahead Lunar."

————

After a short period of shock and shock, a table of people who had already called the police and called an ambulance could only flatten Shiro Kawabata, who was spitting black mud.

…… Then I watched him lie on the ground and continue to spit black mud.

He would vomit for a minute or two in a row, and his face would turn red to the point of purple cyanosis, making people think that when he was going to die in the next second, he would resume breathing and gradually return to normal.

And when they thought that Shiro Kawabata should be spared, he would fall back in pain and spit black mud.

In less than ten minutes, the wooden floor of the restaurant had been spit out by him, and the oil-like viscous liquid had covered more than a square area, and the cleaning staff would have to have a headache.

Indeed, if he was really poisoned by potassium cyanide, at least he would die clean and hygienic, and there would be no strange remnants.

"Shouldn't we change him to a lying direction?" After the panic, seeing Shiro Kawabata enter another cycle of spitting black mud, Mao Liran couldn't help but ask, "If he keeps being like this, will he choke on what he spits out?" I've seen cases of being drunk and drowning in their own vomit......"

Shiro Kawabata, who began to vomit dirty substances again after a while, made her feel some associations such as river mussels spitting sand.

Of course, no matter how you look at it, these substances secreted by the other party, uh, are a little viscous, but they are far from suffocating, but it is reasonable to see him continue to spit black water like this, and give birth to such worries.

"No, it should be really strange that he has so much water to spit out?" Mori Kogoro rolled his eyelids and patted his forehead, "It's better to get to the hospital as soon as possible." ”

He had seen more than one person who had died of this symptom.

These deceased are often diagnosed with heart palsy, organ failure, and other causes of death, as if they were killed not by some external force, but by something "inside" - this is the answer given to him by the search lesson after the return of Moonshadow Island.

After that, Toshihiko Takasugi, who also experienced a similar situation and survived in the end, also went to the hospital for a detailed examination after the wedding, but there was no physical injury.

However, the chubby producer in front of him, theoretically, as long as he didn't reach the critical point of destruction, might not have any big problems, but this look, it looks like he vomited a little too much.

"What the hell is it...... "Mori Kogoro sighed.

After repeated checks, it was confirmed that this guy just had a heart rate that had been at a high speed, and Conan, who really didn't have any other conditions, couldn't help but lower his head when he heard this, and observed the black mud at his feet for a while.

Good question, or pretend to be a little bit and go back to Gray Yuan to take a look......

But neither killing him, nor doing anything else, Joker, what the hell are they doing?

"This is ......" turned around and wanted to find some clean towels on the table, at least for the face of black and gray, looking at the very scary Kawabata Shiro wiped it, suddenly found that under the turntable on the table, no one cared about, revealing the corner of a piece of paper.

She reached out and pulled it out, and next to her, Izo Kaizo, who had been watching Shiro Kawabata with cold eyes, suddenly widened her eyes when she saw where she pulled out the card.

This was exactly where he was supposed to be smeared with poison.

"Notice...... Seeing the logo on the back of the card, Mao Lilan, who had really seen it many times, pursed his lips helplessly, looked down at the embarrassed Kawabata Shiro, and turned it to the front.

She had always felt that the strange thieves were good, and deep down she didn't think that they would really kill this man, as for why did she bother him so much......

Maybe this guy offended them, or something that angered them?

However, the front of the notice letter is not the familiar content of the notice letter cut out of various printed words, but three genuine newspaper clippings.

The first, and the largest one, is a news report on a certain movie that was a big hit and topped the weekly box office, although the title of the movie in the title number was painted with a black pen, but just looking at the high-spirited Kawabata Shiro in the news picture, you can guess its content;

The second one is a little earlier, and the accompanying picture is still Shiro Kawabata, with a slightly deliberately contrived lamenting expression, and the content is about the heroine of the film, who performs with a dedicated attitude and refuses to use an action stand-in, and dies unexpectedly in the explosion scene at the end of the movie;

The third one is more concise and clear, with only one piece of news headline cut out -

"The second part of XXXX is about to start filming, and the original team will create it with all their hearts, and the continuation will be amazing! 》

"Well, it seems that the actress who died during the filming of the last movie didn't die in an accident, right?" Handed the teaser letter to his father, Maoriran guessed.

"At least, that's what the group of thieves thinks." Mori Kogoro glanced at the things in his hand a few times, and looked inquiringly at Shiro Kawabata, whose face was covered with black mud again, "Regarding this issue, Mr. Kawabata, you ......"

"I killed it, I killed it!" Seeing the gap to resume normal breathing, Shiro Kawabata, who had been strangled by the repeated void on the ground for ten minutes, let out a scream like killing a pig, "I think that the movie lacks selling points, and the audience is very dissatisfied with the casting of the female lead, so I will ...... a little on the props Mutter! ”

After only saying these two words, Shiro Kawabata covered his neck again and began to kick his legs helplessly on the ground.

Kanagawa prefectural police officers who hurriedly walked into the door with a group of people: "......"

What kind of scene is this, the scene of the soon-to-be-killed person shouting and repenting?

Conan, who turned his head and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the strange thief hiding in the crowd of onlookers or among the restaurant employees: "......"

Will this be counted as a trick? No matter how you look at it, it's the scene of torture.

Tang Ze, who was about to send a message to his teammates on his mobile phone: "......"

Sorry, I didn't catch it, you can vomit a little longer.

————

"I've said it all, that chubby producer will be fine." Mori Kogoro patted his head and looked at the policeman in front of him, feeling a little tricky.

Because he ran a little far this time, it wasn't the members of the search class he was familiar with, and it was obvious that most of the police officers had little experience in facing the monster thieves in their hearts except for the search lesson in Tokyo.

If this is the twilight police department, he reached out and touched Kawabata Shiro's snort, and when he heard the other party start to repent without hesitation, he reflected on his crime like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and it is estimated that he didn't say a word, and let the doctor carry the person away, and he was too lazy to do the record.

It's nothing more than this guy offending people, or who made him unlucky, bumped into Maori Kogoro, who was wandering around, and became the object of change of heart of the strange thief group.

Not only have they seen more, but they have also dealt with more, and when their business is busy, there are not enough interrogation rooms for temporary detention, so they have to assemble the line and send the registered person directly to the detention center to support their daily operations.

Fortunately, thanks to the unconventional efforts of the Monster of the Heart, the security situation in the Tokyo area has indeed improved visibly.

Unfortunately, not only has the workload of the police not decreased, but their overtime hours have increased due to the extra paperwork, investigation and arraignment work......

The square-faced police department glanced at him coldly, unmoved: "Why, it was you who poisoned him, so you concluded that he would not die?" ”

"I didn't poison it, or rather, I don't think anyone did." Kogoro Maori crossed his arms and shook his head heavily.

The Henggou Police Department indifferently pointed to the black mud that was not very evenly smeared with traces of struggle at his feet, and motioned to his subordinates to come over to take pictures and collect evidence.

Needless to say, his meaning is also obvious - "It's all like this, you say it's not poisoning?" ”

"Anyway, the person who did it must be among you who ate with the victims." The Henggou Police Department turned to a few of them, "You explain your relationship with him." ”

"Several of us and he are the main creators of the movie because our female lead actor was accidentally injured before the filming of the movie started......" Ito, who was halfway through the words, remembered the words of Shiro Kawabata, who was carried away, and his voice couldn't help but pause.

If Lihua's death was really deliberately done by Shiro Kawabata for the sake of the topic of the movie, then is this situation really an accident?

He couldn't help but become suspicious, and exchanged glances with the other two colleagues.

"And then?" The Henggou Police Department looked at their strange faces, secretly added a little suspicion to them in their hearts, and continued to ask.

"We met a few times, whether we wanted to discuss countermeasures and see whether to change the actors, or give up the project depending on the situation." Pushing his glasses, Kitaura Kyogo took over, "As for these four, it was Kawabata who suddenly fell in love with this girl who came here to eat, so I invited the group of them to come over for dinner by the way." ”

The Henggou Police Department turned his head, looked at the four people here, and raised his eyebrows: "This bearded gentleman, how do I think you are a little familiar?" ”

Do you finally recognize it now? Mori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief: "It's natural. I said that I have experience, and Mr. Kawabata will be fine......"

"Do you have a criminal record? Or is it some fugitive wanted criminal? The Henggou Police Department interrupted him, "Generally, what can impress me is not a good person." ”

"Huh? What nonsense, I'm a detective, have you heard of Kogoro Maori? Kogoro Maori's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

"Well, and it's only here that you have a criminal record." Tang Ze also nodded.

"Hey......" Conan, who was very sure that Tang Ze was talking like this, wanted to make a mess for the police, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Since Shiro Kawabata confessed to the sins he had committed, Joker is not an indiscriminate murderer, and should soon let this guy go.

Tang Ze would say this, obviously because the matter would soon be closed in other forms, which was deliberately amusing people.

"You ......" The Henggou Police Department, who heard this, squinted his eyes and glanced at Tang Ze's face.

Is this a deliberate provocation, or is it amusing the police?

But no matter what the case is, he is not a policeman who likes to be ridiculed, and he will not give face to these nonsensical bear children.

"Henggou Police Department!" Behind him, the officer of the forensic department, who was busy checking the dining table, shouted.

"Henggou? Are you a cross ditch? Maori Kogoro sighed, "Did you change your hairstyle?" I said how do you look so familiar. Good people pretend not to know what we do. ”

"You're talking about Yokotsu in Shizuoka Prefecture, that's my brother." The face was a little uglier and the Henggou police department looked over, "The difference between me and him is that he is a very easy-going person, and I have never trusted you detectives or anything." ”

Unceremoniously putting the sentence aside, he looked at the subordinate who called for him, confidently waiting for the expected answer.

"No toxic reactions were found." The officer who was in his sight stepped back half a step without a trace, and replied stubbornly.

"Huh? Are you sure, is there a problem with the type of test strip you bring? Yokogou frowned deeply.

"Perhaps, yes......" the officer replied expectantly.

“…… Don't get complacent. The Yokogou Police Department turned his head and glared at Mori Kogoro, "Even if a rare toxic substance is used, it can only be deceived for a while." ”

"Do you have any prejudices against detectives?" Maori Kogoro frowned unhappily, "I've explained it all, it's the work of the group of people from the Monster of the Heart's Thieves." And even if it's really poisoning, there's no reason to say that I, the person who met him on the first day today, did it to him? ”

"Who knows, on the first day I came to dinner, I happened to meet the crew, and I happened to be taken by the crew at a glance, there is such a good thing in the world? Maybe you colluded with someone and came here on purpose......"

Before Yokogou's speculation was finished, his cell phone rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, it was determined that it was the group of people who accompanied Kawabata who was taken away by the doctor to the hospital, Yokozo raised his eyebrows confidently, picked up the phone, and pressed the speakerphone.

He knew that the possibility that the murderer was this detective was very small, but he did watch this group of detectives who were sprinkled in the media all day long and accepted praise unhappy for a long time, and it was not bad to make the other party eat a little deflated.

Especially the guy named Akechi Goro, who came to us more than once, and his high-spirited appearance made people dissatisfied, and he actually called him a prince or something, are the people in the media blind?

"Hey, Yamada, what are you talking about over there......" he said with a raised voice and some pride.

"Henggou Police Department, that ......" a slightly nervous voice came from the phone, "the inspection is basically over, although there are still a few reports that have not come out...... However, the hospital thought that Mr. Kawabata was fine. ”

"What did you say?" When the Henggou Police Department spoke, his eyes involuntarily fell on the marks on the ground.

"Well, it seems that there was some muscle strain due to the overly forceful movements, and the neck muscles spasmed, but the doctor was inclined to believe that it was caused by the victim, uh, the patient neglected to exercise, and suddenly burst out with a lot of force." The subordinate's voice was dry, and he seemed to feel a little embarrassed.

The Henggou Police Department tensed his face, glanced at Maori Kogoro, who raised his eyebrows and wrote "Look at what I said" on his face, and then looked at the camera behind him who was still holding the evidence bag, and looked at his subordinates with blank eyes, and suddenly felt a subtle sense of difficulty riding a tiger.

He thinks that any police officer who has undergone long-term training, after seeing such a scene, must be to organize people to protect the scene and collect physical evidence, even if it is later confirmed that it is an accident or misunderstanding, others must praise their dedication.

But he just said that in order to scare this impatient middle-aged detective......

"If I had to say that there was a murderer, it would probably be me." Also hearing the words of the police officer at the hospital, Isokaizo let out a breath and suddenly said, "I did it, I went to the website of the strange thief group and submitted Kawabata's name." ”

As he spoke, he bowed his head slightly in the direction of Tang Ze, and the corners of his mouth under his beard were a relieved smile.

It seems that the kid is right, there is indeed a better solution, he thought.

Maybe there will be a change, probably in the early hours of the morning
