Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 546 The Place of Convergence - Nanyang University

"Edogawa!"

Seeing Conan panicked and running towards the source of the explosion so recklessly, Xiao Ai subconsciously wanted to stop him.

But thinking of the sound from the bug just now, and guessing the possible situation, Xiao Ai couldn't help running over——

No way!The distance point of that explosion!

Unbelievable, following behind Conan, Xiao Ai soon came to the place where the explosion happened—in front of a toilet door on this floor—

At this moment, because of the explosion, the whole toilet was in a mess, and the compartments, walls, and other objects inside were all shattered due to the impact of the explosion.

The surviving crowd around them all had lingering fears on their faces, as if they had escaped a catastrophe. They looked at the scene of the explosion in horror and did not dare to approach it at all.

But unlike them, Conan rushed straight into the scene of the explosion with an expression of unwillingness, and began to search around.

And Hideaki Nakajima, Koji Ueda, and Hironobu Takeshita, who also came behind because of the explosion, saw the horrific explosion scene and Conan who rushed in just like that, Hironobu Takeshita couldn't help but hurriedly said:

"Wait a minute! Little brother! It's dangerous!"

However, Conan completely ignored such advice, and soon, from the ruins of the bombed compartment, he saw something that surprised him——

That is a shoe.

It was the shoe Tequila was wearing.

And, under the shoes, Conan also saw the sticker-shaped tracker that he secretly stuck on——

"Little brother, it's dangerous here, hurry up and get out!"

Takeshita walked behind Conan at this time, and advised with some lingering fear.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Conan turned his back to the people behind him, recovered the tracker on the sole of the shoe, and then punched the ground heavily——

"That guy was involved in this explosion like this...Damn it! It took so much effort to find such a tiny bit of clues, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen!"

Sighing in his heart, Conan lowered his head and got up expressionlessly, as if suppressing his extreme unwillingness, he got up slowly and walked out of the explosion scene——

"What's the matter? He... really has..."

Seeing Conan's expression at this time, Xiao Ai stepped forward anxiously and pulled him aside, asking in a low voice.

Regarding this, Conan nodded with a depressed expression, then looked at Xiao Ai with some seriousness, and couldn't help asking:
"Do you know anything about 'Agave'?"

However, it seems that because "Tequila", which had the code name as an organization, died in such an unknown way, Xiao Ai still felt a little unreal about this sudden scene, so she didn't respond to Conan's inquiry immediately. Response——

"Um……"

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Ai came back to her senses, and said in disbelief:

"Although I haven't seen it, at least I've heard of this code name...'Tequila', as far as I know, although he is a member with a code name, but his status in the organization is not high, but because of his work He is very reliable, so he has won the trust of many high-level people... Moreover, I heard that he is also a very skilled killer... I really find it hard to believe that such a person would die here..."

"yes……"

Conan also nodded in serious agreement, then reached out and stroked his chin, thinking deeply:

"Did it happen to be involved... or was it deliberately designed to get rid of it..."

"Quiet?"

Regarding this statement, Xiao Ai couldn't help thinking for a while, then shook her head, and responded:
"It shouldn't be possible. According to what I heard just now, he seems to be helping Gin and the others to complete the deal with someone. There is no reason for the organization to kill him like this before handing over the deal... ..."

"trade……"

Hearing Xiao Ai mentioned this, Conan couldn't help but think of something, and murmured:
"Speaking of which, before the explosion, he said something like that..."

——Why can't I get in...huh?open?
"In that case, could this incident be..."

Seems to have some ideas, Conan said so...

……

"terrorist?"

When Police Officer Megure came to the scene after receiving the report, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard the report result given by Takagi Tsubasa.

"Yes. According to the president of Mantiantang Company, who is holding a press conference on this floor, he received a strange threatening letter two days ago."

As Takagi spoke, he handed the threatening letter as evidence to Police Officer Megure.

Taking the letter paper, looking at the threatening words pasted on it with words cut from newspapers, Police Officer Mumu couldn't help saying angrily:

"In that case, why didn't you call the police immediately when you received the letter?"

"It seems that the president thought it was a prank sent by a hostile company and wanted to disrupt the press conference, so he didn't call the police, but he didn't expect it to be true today..."

Hearing Police Officer Megure's furious roar, Takagi Sato, who was the first to bear the brunt, couldn't help but respond with a helpless expression.

"So, can we find out the location of the explosion now?"

For a moment, Police Officer Mu Mu, who felt very dizzy, looked at the technical police officer who had completed the preliminary investigation of the scene, and asked involuntarily.

"Yes, the police department. The explosion happened in the sitting toilet next to the window. I think it may be that a bomb was installed on the door of the toilet or somewhere, and then after someone opened the door and entered, the mechanism was triggered. That detonated the bomb, which caused this incident."

After analyzing the situation at the scene, the police officers of the Technical Section who were in charge of the site survey came to this conclusion.

"That's a terrorist attack that kills people immediately and causes panic..."

Hearing this, Police Officer Mu Mu frowned deeply, and then asked:
"Have you found out the identity of the victim?"

"This one……"

Regarding this, the police officer in charge of the investigation couldn't help showing embarrassment, and said helplessly:

"Because it was blown to pieces, I haven't found anything sufficient to prove my identity. I can only learn from eyewitnesses at the scene that before the incident, the person who entered the toilet was a tall man..."

"Is that so..."

After hearing the word "bombed to pieces", Police Officer Megure also felt that it would be difficult to confirm the identity of the victim. Nakajima, Takeshita, and Ueda asked:

"Then, those of you who came here first after the incident, did you see any suspicious characters?"

"Well... there is nothing suspicious..."

Asked by Police Officer Megure, Ueda Koji looked around at Hideaki Nakajima and Hironobu Takeshita beside him, and then replied with some lingering fear.

"Um……"

"yes……"

Hideaki Nakajima and Yushin Takeshita also responded.

"But if I have to say it, this little brother entered the scene earlier than us..."

Ueda Koji suddenly thought of something, he couldn't help pointing to Conan who sneaked here at some point and said.

"Ke... Conan!"

In this regard, when Police Officer Megure saw Conan appearing here, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression and said:

"How will you be here?"

"Ah, Officer Megure, I seem to have seen the dead!"

Conan couldn't help raising his head and explained.

"Really! Conan!"

Hearing this, Officer Mu Mu couldn't help but become extremely serious and asked him.

"kindness."

Conan nodded, and then said:
"For a tall man, I accidentally bumped into him in the corridor over there just now. It was an uncle who was over two meters tall, and he was probably from Kansai... By the way! I also saw him Got a briefcase over the counter!"

"briefcase?"

Hearing this clue, Police Officer Mumu turned to look at the technical police officer at the side, and immediately asked:

"Have you found something similar to a briefcase?"

"Yes……"

The police officer couldn't help but nodded and confirmed:

"We did find what appears to be the remains of a briefcase... Also, we found a key and a sign."

Having said that, the police officer took out a round iron signboard that had been bent by external force from a pile of evidence collected at the side and said, and on this signboard was printed a full name of Paradise Games Company. The trademark of -

"Sure enough..."

When he officially saw the signboard and noticed that it was bent outwards, Conan was convinced that his reasoning should be correct, so he quietly walked away while Officer Megure and the others were focusing on the signboard up.

"This one……"

Looking at the trademark he got, Officer Megure couldn't help looking at Nakajima and the others beside him, frowning and asking:
"Is it your company's trademark?"

"Ah, indeed...it's the same as the logo on the briefcase issued by our company."

"Then who has this briefcase?"

Officer Mu Mu couldn't help asking after hearing this.

"As long as they are people from our company, there are all of them..."

Ueda couldn't help but say.

"In that case, the deceased who can hold this briefcase should be an employee of your company?"

Having said that, Police Officer Megure feels that the situation has finally turned around.

"That's right..."

Ueda said in a bit of embarrassment, and at the same time couldn't help looking at the other two colleagues, and asked a little strangely:

"But, does our company have Kansai people who are two meters tall?"

"do not know……"

Takeshita thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Could it be... a guest who came here today?"

Nakajima tentatively proposed a possibility.

"Um……"

Hearing the answers from all three people, Police Officer Mu Mu pondered for a while, and then couldn't help saying:
"Since Conan said that the victim took the briefcase at the counter, then go to the counter and ask first!"

With that said, Police Officer Megure led some police officers and Nakajima and the three of them towards the storage counter in front of the venue.

At the same time, Conan, who had left the explosion site in advance, had already arrived at the counter of the depository. He jumped onto the counter, put his hands on the counter, and asked the waitress:

"Excuse me, besides the tall man in black, is there anyone else who has come to pick up the deposited things?"

"Ah, this... let me take a look..."

Asked by a little boy, out of politeness, the waitress looked at the withdrawal record and replied:

"Except for that man's accident, no one came to pick up the luggage..."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help showing a smile——

From this point of view, we will soon know who is trading with "Tequila"... and maybe we can get more clues from him!

Thinking of this, Conan was about to thank him and leave, but the waitress thought of something, and said casually as if feeling emotional:

"By the way, that person is indeed very strange. He just left the things and came to pick them up immediately..."

In this regard, Conan was further convinced of his conjecture, and then——

"There is still a chance! The clues are not all broken!"

Feeling a little surprised in his heart, Conan ran away with a faint smile.

However, Xiao Ai, who witnessed Conan's actions the whole time, had a slightly dignified expression.

Looking at the mobile phone in his hand, Xiao Ai tried to continue dialing Gao Yuan's number, but the message sent back from the mobile phone was always a notification sound like "the other party has shut down"——

"Gao Yuan... Where are you now..."

Thinking of the fact that Masami Hirota's name was mentioned in the call between "Tequila" and Vodka just now, Xiao Ai couldn't feel at ease no matter what—

"Since... Gin and the others are not in Japan now..."

Recalling that Gin seemed to be mentioned in the previous call, they were not in Japan, and "Tequila" who was assigned to go to Masami Hirota's house tonight died accidentally again, so maybe...

Thinking in this way, Xiao Ai opened the address book in her mobile phone and looked at the contact information of the few people on it except for the members of the Boy Detective Team. In the end, Xiao Ai called Dr. A Li...

"Xiao Ai, are you here? Where are the Conan people?"

Not long after Xiao Ai finished making the phone call, Xiao Lan's voice suddenly came from behind her, and when she looked back, she saw Xiao Lan walking to her side with an anxious face, leaning over and asking.

At the same time, due to the explosion, the ongoing press conference was forced to be suspended, and all the participants were called to the hall for questioning. Coming out of the venue, he leaned listlessly against the side wall.

Xiao Ai, who was about to reply casually to this, suddenly saw from her perspective that Conan was hiding behind a pillar on the side, holding the watch-shaped anesthesia gun, aiming at Kogoro's direction.

At this time, Xiaolan is also constantly looking around, as if looking for Conan, and is about to see where Conan is at this time——

"Edogawa seems to have gone over there."

Xiao Ai couldn't help saying this, and pointed in another direction, diverting Xiaolan's gaze away.

"Hey? At times like this, don't run around!"

When Xiao Lan heard Xiao Ai say this, she seemed a little worried, and Xiao Lan walked towards the direction Xiao Ai pointed at.

Then, seeming to have noticed Xiao Ai's actions, Conan fired an anesthetic needle at Kogoro without hesitation——

"Officer Mumu, I already know the truth of this whole thing!"

While Police Officer Megure was inquiring in the hall, Kogoro Mori's voice came from the side wall.

"Brother Maori!"

Seeing that Kogoro appeared here, Police Officer Meguro said as if he had found a treasure, and then hurried forward and asked:

"You know what's going on with this terrorist attack!"

"No, Officer Meguro, this is not a terrorist attack, but a premeditated murder!"

Using Kogoro's voice, Conan explained while hiding behind a pillar.

"Murder incident!"

Hearing this word, Police Officer Megure was very surprised and couldn't help asking:
"Then... do you know who the murderer is?"

"I don't know yet...but as long as I do one thing, the murderer will be revealed!"

Conan suppressed the emotions in his heart, but he still urgently urged:

"As long as all the employees of Mantiantang who are present today get back the briefcases they deposited in the storage room, they can find out who killed that man with a bomb!"

"Everything?"

Officer Mu Mu frowned.

"Yes, all."

Conan said with certainty.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

While Conan and the others were reasoning about the explosion in the Rice Flower Hotel, on the road from Tokyo to Shizuoka, Takato's light blue "MINI" car was driving at high speed.

In the car, Chengzuo Jade pouted with a depressed face, seeing that the car was almost driving to the highest speed limit of the road at this moment, she couldn't help saying:
"Even if you want to confirm the news, don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Wise? And..."

Saying that, Chengzuo Jade covered her lips with her hand, closed her eyes slightly, showing a blurred look, and yawned slightly, then put her hand down, and murmured:

"It's late at night, don't you think it's a bit difficult for me to accompany you to such a far place with a girl? Besides, even if you pass this time period, there is probably no one in Nanyang University, right?"

"Because of the urgency of the situation, there is no other choice, Shirozuka Jade-san!"

Gao Yuan slammed on the accelerator to maintain the speed of the car, and replied eagerly:
"What you said is too important to me...so, I need you to follow along to confirm."

——And, there is one thing, since I remembered it, I must deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that it will change if it is too late!
"what the hell……"

Regarding Gao Yuan's words, Chengzuo Jade kicked her legs in the car a little dissatisfied, and muttered angrily:
"You have seen them all, but you still don't trust them..."
