Chapter 21 Another pounce

Conan originally wanted to run over to find Masami Hirota alone after the battery was fully charged, but was dissuaded by the doctor. No matter how you think about it, this matter is very dangerous.

Conan was persuaded in the end, and reluctantly returned to the Mori Detective Agency.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Kogoro Mori's voice from inside, "No! Straighten your hands again!"

Uncle Sunglasses' voice came out, "The murderer is you!"

"Speak louder!"

"...", Conan silently opened the door and saw two people standing in the living room posing, "What are they doing?"

"I'm doing special detective training." Bai Shu leaned against the door, shrinking his presence, trying to be a quiet and handsome man, "Do you want to try Conan?"

"No need." Don't even try, Conan turned around and ran away now.Going deep into the enemy camp alone is always friendlier than bringing a few pig teams.

But he held back in the end.

Conan interrupted the "Detective Special Training" of the two, and made up an excuse just now, "Uncle Maori, I saw that uncle with a strange chin just now."

"What?!" Mori Kogoro immediately turned his head, "Where is it? Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

Conan showed the way, and several people drove to the destination at high speed.

But at this time, Mori Kogoro felt a little regretful again, and muttered to himself, "Can you believe the child's words?"

Bai Shu squeezed into the back seat with Xiaolan and Uncle Sunglasses, struggling to speak, "It's okay to go and have a look, after all, we don't have any other clues."

The car eventually stopped in front of a hotel.

Several people got out of the car and looked at the luxurious high-rise building in front of them, "Is he really here? There are so many rooms, how can I find them..."

Conan has rushed into the building.

Mori Kogoro yelled, but couldn't stop, so he simply ignored him.He walked to the front desk with a picture of the tall man, trying to get some news from the hotel staff.

Maybe it was because the aura of the two of them was too bluffing, the front desk hesitated for a while, but still found the information, the man lived in Room 802.

Conan had already reached the elevator entrance, he silently listened to the message, raised his hand and pressed the elevator.

Under his expectant gaze, the elevator finally came to the first floor.

The door opened, and Conan was about to rush in, when Bai Shu suddenly pulled him from behind.

Almost at the same time, a person came out pushing a small cart.

It was a young lady wearing sunglasses, a beret, and a dress. She was very maturely dressed. On her small cart, there were three large boxes half a person's height piled up.

The elevator doors all slid open, and after seeing the people outside the door, the woman was stunned, and the small cart in her hand also swayed, and the boxes on it almost collapsed.

Bai Shu stepped forward suddenly, pressed down on the topmost boxes, and stabilized them.

"...Thank you." The woman met his gaze, feeling a little guilty for some reason, she nodded towards Bai Shu, lowered her hat, and quickly left with her luggage.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't hit it, otherwise if the box was knocked down, it would take a lot of time.

Eh, but...how did Bai Shu know there was someone inside?

Conan raised his head in doubt, and looked at Bai Shu. The latter seemed to know his question, and knocked on his forehead, "Isn't it common sense to go down first and then go up?"

"... Oh." Conan held his forehead and believed it for the time being.In fact, usually he would wait for the people in the elevator to get off first, but this time it was about human life, he was too impatient and forgot to consider these situations for a while.

The remaining three also rushed into the elevator, and the group quickly reached the 8th floor.

Mori Kogoro confirmed the house number, stood at the door and hammered the door aggressively, "Hey, don't hide, I know you are inside, you have the ability to kill people, you have the ability...Huh?"

Bai Shu passed him, held the doorknob, pressed it, pushed it, and the door opened.

The door wasn't locked at all.

"...", Mori Kogoro silently withdrew his hand that smashed the door, a little embarrassed.

Conan was about to slip in through the crack of the door, but the scene inside made him stunned for a moment.

——In the room, the tall man was leaning against the closet, with a hideous face, a large pool of blood was spat out on his chest, and a can of drink was tightly clutched in his hand.

The door was fully opened, and Mori Kogoro had a bad feeling when he saw this scene. He rushed in to check, but found that the person was dead.

There was a faint foul smell on the can of drink. Mori Kogoro shrugged his nose and frowned, "It's potassium cyanate... This guy must have committed suicide because he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience!"

"...Anyway, let's call the police first." Bai Shu called the police, sighing in his heart, no matter how he thought about it, this man would not commit suicide.

Conan stared at the tall man's wrist, and he recognized the watch with his transmitter on it—it was indeed the watch that Masami Hirota was wearing before.

Turning his head, Conan found several empty aluminum alloy boxes scattered on the ground next to him.

After Bai Shu reported to the police, he heard a piece of news from the Megure Police Department.

Although he already knew it, but in order to facilitate Conan's reasoning...

Bai Shu asked loudly in surprise, "What? Is Mr. Hirota single?! Or a native of Tokyo?!"

"How is it possible?!" Mori Kogoro was startled, and immediately picked up the phone, wanting to confirm with Megure Police Department himself.

And in Conan's mind, with the last bit of information, all doubts were connected in a straight line, and he suddenly figured it out: All of this can be linked to the 10 billion yuan robbery case that has not been solved a while ago!
——Kenzo Hirota drives the same route at high speed every day, not to relieve stress, but to rehearse his escape after the robbery.

The reason why the other two bypassed the police and asked the detectives to find someone alone was probably because Kenzo Hirota fled alone with the stolen money.

In the previous bank robbery, there were three culprits. Now, two of them have died successively. The last murderer can only be... Masami Hirota!
Thinking of that young lady with a plain appearance, Conan slowly clenched his fists.

Bai Shu squatted next to the dead man, pretending to look at the corpse, but in fact reached out his hand furtively, pinching away the furious soul from the corpse.

In order to prevent this action from being too abrupt, he pretended to analyze, "The blood on the corpse has not dried completely, and the prisoner should not have gone far."

right!Conan nodded silently in his heart, agreeing with this statement.

And he also thought of other things - not only did he not go far, that person must also be carrying one billion in cash, which is not a small amount, and he cannot easily hide it in his pocket.

Several conditions superimposed on each other, and a figure gradually became clear in his mind - the woman I met in the elevator just now, no matter in terms of body size or luggage, was very qualified!

That is probably Masami Hirota in disguise!

Conan turned sharply and rushed to the door.
