"I've found two clues here," a moment later, Conan, who was avoiding the crowd, whispered to Kaedehara on an earring-shaped phone to exchange information, "one of them is a purple handkerchief. ”

"The crystal lamp fell, and before the light came on, the handkerchief fell from above, and landed right on my side. The upper left side of the handkerchief is embroidered with the words "Sasumaki Director's Memorial", which may be the handkerchief that the owner of the handkerchief received when he came here. ”

"I just observed that most of the people in the scene had this handkerchief, but the color was different, and it was probably based on the idea of director Sakumaki's masterpiece "Rainbow-colored Handkerchief", and the seven-colored handkerchief was distributed to the guests.

"I'm going to check it out at the counter later, so I can find out who has the purple handkerchief."

"The second clue is a fragment of the crystal light chain, which was just found in the food, you should have noticed, right?"

Conan ended his big call with a question.

"Hmm." Kaedehara responded briefly.

"What makes me wonder why the pieces of the light chain fell there." Conan continued, "If it fell to the ground because of aging, it shouldn't have been played so high. ”

"I have an answer to that question." Kaedehara replied, "Remember the flash before the crystal lamp fell?" ”

"Of course."

"Immediately after that, I heard the sound of silencer-mounted gunfire."

"Gunshots?" Conan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "No wonder... So it makes sense, the prisoner made the fall by shooting the light chain with a gun, and then the handkerchief is to hide the fire of the shot in the dark..."

"The police were on the scene from the start, so he didn't have a chance to dispose of the gun. The gun should still be on him by now, and the fingerprints on the handkerchief, the gunsmoke reaction on his body," Conan's face showed a confident smile, "Kaedehara, this guy named Pisco is really careless." ”

It hasn't been disposed of by Gin yet, so it can be seen that Pis doesn't do these things very often, Kaedehara thought to himself, and then added:

"And the flash at that time, judging from the time and direction, the camera most likely captured his shooting action. It was supposed to be a professional camera, and the scene was full of people who came to attend the memorial meeting, and there weren't many people who would bring this kind of thing. ”

"That's right, but that's not in a hurry." Conan said that the person who secretly photographed the photo did not necessarily cooperate with the police for his own benefit, "as long as you know who is holding the purple handkerchief, you can find him." ”

Recalling the location of the handkerchief he picked up and the location of the fragments of the light chain, Conan already had a vague guess in his mind.

"I'll go check with that."

The door to truth is at hand.

Conan pulls on his coat and goes to the door, expertly lying to the police officer guarding the door of the venue that he wants to go to the bathroom.

Because the other party was just a child, the police officer didn't think much about it and opened the door. But to his and Conan's surprise, as the door was opened, a continuous stream of flashing lights blinded them.

"Wait, what do you want to do?" The police hurriedly blocked the gate with their bodies to prevent the reporters who rushed to the scene from entering.

"Is it true that Councillor Swallow is dead?"

"I heard it was an accidental death..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Conan took advantage of his height and quickly slipped out and breathed a sigh of relief.

The officers in the back struggled to close the door again, and Conan went to the service desk next to him and asked about the purple handkerchief.

"The man with the purple handkerchief?"

"Hmm!" Conan nodded, "Because I picked up a purple handkerchief and wanted to return it to someone." Conan said, "Are these handkerchiefs what are they used for later?" ”

"Originally, it seemed that at the end of the memorial meeting, I would ask someone with a certain color to give a testimonial..."

"Can you tell me their names? I'm going to give the handkerchief back to the person who gave it back. ”

"Okay, I'll take a look." This kid is so cute, the service staff thought to himself, and flipped through the registration book, "Hmm... The couple left not long after they came with the group... So there are those who are there at the moment...", she turned the notebook and handed it to Conan, "Come on, just these seven." ”

……

Inside the venue.

"The case is almost settled?" Gray Yuan asked softly.

"Hmm." Kaedehara replied, "However, I'm worried that there might be other members of the organization on the scene. ”

"That's in line with what the organization has always done." "Normally, there will be another member of the organization on site to make sure the operation goes smoothly. ”

"Don't take it lightly, Kudo." After a pause, Gray Yuan reminded him.

"I'm a little guessy."

Gray Yuan looked at it curiously.

Kaedehara explains:

"If you want to kill people in this way, you have to take the initiative to go to the crystal lamp. I think Pisko was probably threatening him, saying that if he wanted to get a chance to live, he would have to wait there.

Or maybe I'll talk to him at that time and help him. But there is only one such opportunity, and tomorrow the Swallow Councillor could be arrested, and if they fail today, it will be difficult for them to find an opportunity.

Therefore, if another member of the organization wants to ensure that the operation goes smoothly, he is most likely near the Swallowing Councilor. ”

Gray Yuan Ai subconsciously looked towards the crystal lamp, but the next moment the brim of her hat was pressed down by Kaedehara.

"Don't look. It wouldn't be good if that person perceived your gaze and saw you in reverse. Kaedehara said.

There are always some people in the Kexue world who have a very strong perception, such as those sniper masters who can sense that someone is aiming at them from a distance of thousands of meters.

Of course, he didn't know if those people would be able to do it in reality, but he didn't want to gamble.

Gray Plains turned his head obediently.

Except for the fact that he had to come along, Gray Plains Wai was exceptionally obedient and quiet today...

Is it because of the dream?

Kaede Hara thought to himself, but on the other side, the Twilight Police Department couldn't control the scene.

The field is basically full of rich and powerful people, and it is difficult for the Twilight Police Department to control the situation. And after the reporters tried to pour in, the crowd who did not want to be exposed to the flash on such an occasion became impatient.

Soon a group of people attacked the Twilight Police Department.

Thinking that it might cause a commotion if the people on the field were left behind, and that the death of the Swallowing Councillor was like an accident, the Twilight Police Department relented and agreed to let the group out.

Conan is out there now, and he'll notice. So Kaedehara wasn't worried.

"Let's go out too."

Watching the foreign actress walk out in the crowd, Kaedehara said to Gray Yuan.

Gray Yuan snorted, and then saw Kaede Yuan take out the mask in his pocket.

"At this time, no one will notice if you put it on again."

“……”

Glancing at Kaedehara angrily, Gray Yuan still obediently took the mask, pulled down the scarf slightly, and put the mask on.

Kaedehara helped her straighten the hat that had just been crooked by herself, and carefully looked at Gray Yuan's mourning.

She now wears a hat, sunglasses, scarf, and mask, and her sunglasses cover up better than tracking glasses. Kaedehara felt that even if Conan came over, it would be difficult to recognize her at a glance.

With their preparations ready, the two of them headed outside.

There were a large number of reporters crowded at the door, and the people at the scene didn't want to be stopped by the reporters at the end, so the scene was a little crowded and chaotic.

They were in an inconspicuous corner before, and when they went out, they were also at the very edge of the crowd.

Standing and waiting for the person in front of him to go out first, Gray Yuan's heart was a little more steady.

Although she didn't think that the people of the organization would be caught as easily as Kudo and Edogawa thought, the matter in front of her was almost over, and they didn't encounter Gin, nor did they expose it...

Nor was it exposed ...

Ash Yuan froze again.

Once again, she felt the aura of the members of the Order, and it was not far behind her.

But before she could think about it, she felt herself being held again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
