Conan: Another Famous Detective

"What news?" Conan asked.

"When Mr. Amuro got the memory card and was about to leave, he happened to meet Kazuki Honami who was about to go home, and Kosuke Mizutani was following him."

"Afterwards, Kazuki Honami packed the belongings taken from all the victims into a bag and gave them to Mizutani Kosuke."

"He said to Mizutani Kosuke [the situation has changed, we can only implement the plan in advance and take action at 8 o'clock tonight]."

"Plan..." Conan muttered, his eyebrows suddenly twitching: "Could it be that Honami and Mizutani..."

"If no one stops it, maybe there will be another [victim] tonight." Akira Hanamiya said calmly.

Conan raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's ten o'clock in the morning...there are ten hours left."

Yu Gongming nodded: "So we have to move quickly. We are going to the Metropolitan Police Department for an investigation meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon. It's time to release some information to them."

"Are you sure you want to take action tonight?" Mengyu finally confirmed.

Yu Gongming said calmly: "Well, we are almost ready. There should be no problem with tonight's operation."

Conan and Mengyu looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Okay!"

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Metropolitan Police investigation meeting.

"Manager! I have something important to report!" Officer Memu stood up and said as soon as the meeting started.

"Oh? What's the matter?" [Matsumoto Kiyonaga] sat upright and asked seriously.

"That's it!" Officer Megure said: "Miss Sumire Shindo, who has been missing since yesterday, just called us and provided us with an important clue!"

"Huh? Shindo Sumire? She disappeared inexplicably yesterday. Why did she suddenly call today?" [Matsumoto Kiyonaga] frowned.

"According to her, after she made the call, a masked man broke into her home and seemed to want to take her away by force. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and used pepper spray to get rid of the prisoner, but she accidentally dropped her phone. broken."

"Now she found a safe place to hide temporarily and then called us."

"Find a place to hide? Since you are already in danger, why don't you contact the police directly?" [Matsumoto Kiyonaga] asked strangely.

"Uh!" Officer Memu's expression became a little unnatural. He hesitated for a while and then said: "She said that there have been six victims and the police still haven't caught the murderer. She doesn't trust the police too much, and she I’m also afraid that the police will let her be used as bait, so…”

"Absurd! How could our police force citizens to do such a thing?" [Matsumoto Kiyonaga] suddenly became angry.

"Anyway, Ms. Shindo seems to have a bit of a grudge against the police..." Officer Megure said with some embarrassment.

[Matsumoto Kiyonaga] took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "So, what clues did she provide to our police?"

Officer Megure said: "She said that everything started from the fire that happened in Kyoto on Chinese Valentine's Day the year before last..."

Subsequently, Officer Megure gave a detailed explanation of the circumstances surrounding the fire at the Vegal Hotel.

All the police officers listened very carefully.

After Officer Megure finished narrating, Officer Yamato spoke first: "So, Nanako's boyfriend named Mizutani has a very serious suspicion of committing the crime!"

"I think so too!" Officer Megure agreed.

"I see..." Yu Gongming said with a look of surprise: "The red circle on the mahjong tiles implies a fire, and the black line running through the mahjong tiles should simulate the elevator door, right?"

"So, the shape of the mahjong tiles and the elevator car are indeed relatively close..." Mouri Kogoro said, touching his chin.

"Then what do the English letters mean?" Henggou asked thoughtfully.

Yu Gongming said: "Now there are only two puzzles left to solve. The first is the English letters on the mahjong tiles, and the second is the pattern of the murderer choosing the crime scene. Maybe there is some connection between the two. maybe."

"What's the connection?" Police Officer Yamamura asked.

Yu Gongming pondered for a while and said: "How about using a map to mark it."

"Takagi!" Officer Megure shouted.

Officer Takagi understood, and immediately posted a large map on the display whiteboard, and marked the locations of various crime scenes on the map.

Yu Gongming looked up at the map and lowered his head in thought.

"I know!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly shouted.

"Oh? Brother Maori, do you know?" Officer Memu's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" Mouri Kogoro stepped forward with confidence and began to draw on the map.

After finishing the painting, he enthusiastically began to explain it to the other police officers.

Yu Gongming lost interest after hearing the beginning. The uncle was basically talking nonsense and didn't get to the point at all.

The police officers present also expressed confusion and doubts about Mouri Kogoro's explanation, and they could not get what he wanted to express at all.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Gongming said: "I also have a guess..."

"Oh? Brother Hanomiya, what did you think of?" Officer Megure asked expectantly.

In his opinion, Yumiya Akira is much more reliable than Uncle Mouri!

Yu Gongming asked Meng Yu to bring his mobile phone, called up the constellation maps of Polaris and the Big Dipper, then pretended to compare them for a while, nodded and said: "Sure enough!"

"What's going on?" [Matsumoto Kiyonaga] asked.

Subsequently, Akira Hanomiya explained the relationship between the One Tube, the Seven Tubes, and the North Star and the Big Dipper. He also used the computer in the conference room to call up the constellation map for on-site comparison.

The results speak for themselves.

All the police officers immediately started talking.

"It's not bad at all!" Henggou said in shock.

"It seems that this solution should be correct." Henggou's younger brother said calmly.

Officer Megure looked at the map and said in a solemn voice: "There are still two star positions where no victims have appeared. Miss Shindo doesn't know where she is hiding now. Will the murderer continue to chase her, or will he look for the eighth victim? "

"If we carry out a wanted search for Mizutani, then he may not have time to find Miss Shindo. I think he will attack the eighth victim." Akira Hanamiya speculated.

"Who is this eighth victim?" Officer Yamamura asked.

Officer Megure was stunned for a moment, and then became confused: "Yes, according to Miss Shindo, there were seven people in the elevator at that time. Now that everyone except Miss Shindo is dead, where did the eighth victim come from?"

"I'm afraid... this eighth victim is the murderer himself." Yu Gongming said calmly.

"Huh? The murderer himself?" All the police officers looked surprised.

"Yes." Akira Hanomiya explained: "If the murderer is Mizutani, then he should be very painful about his girlfriend's death. It cannot be ruled out that he planned to kill all seven people in the elevator at that time and then committed suicide."
