Conan: Another Famous Detective

One fifteen in the morning.

Akira Hanomiya and his party returned to Kudo's house.

Meng Yu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw the group of people coming back, she immediately ushered them into Kudo's house.

After coming to the living room and sitting down on the sofa, Meng Yu first spoke: "After Ming left, Sawaki Kiyoshi has been reading there for half an hour and then rested. Nothing unusual."

She looked at Yu Gongming and asked curiously: "What's in that handbag?"

"Crossbow." Yu Gongming said solemnly.

"Not an ordinary crossbow?" Meng Yu felt something was wrong as soon as she saw Yu Gongming's expression.

"It is well made and equipped with a scope. The crossbow arrows are made of some kind of alloy and are quite sharp. If I read it correctly, it should be a military crossbow." Yumiya Ming said.

"Military use? How is it different from an ordinary crossbow?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"Ordinary crossbows are mostly made by civilians, and the craftsmanship is rough. The range is only ten or twenty meters, and the distance of more than a hundred meters is the limit." Conan explained:

"Military-grade crossbows are not only made of more sophisticated materials, but also have more complex and meticulous manufacturing techniques. The shortest range can reach two hundred meters."

"If you use certain accessories or the design is excellent enough, some crossbows can even reach a range of 600 meters, and are as powerful as rifle bullets. They are important long-range cold weapons in special operations."

"Such a crossbow is undoubtedly prohibited by law from private possession, hiding, and trading. It's no wonder that Sawaki sneaks to Dorobiga Paradise to trade at night."

After listening to Conan's explanation, Xiaolan frowned: "Why did Mr. Sawaki buy such a dangerous thing? What exactly does he want to do?"

"We don't know yet." Yu Gongming shook his head.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to tell some things now. He can only [reason] out the information logically when clues appear.

Moreover, the plot has changed a lot now. For example, Murakami's husband is not dead, and for example, Officer Megure probably won't have time for a morning run after taking care of what happened in the afternoon.

Although judging from the deck of playing cards Sawaki bought at the convenience store, his general plan should not have changed, and he still decided to fight from the King of Spades to the Ace of Spades.

However, now that Black Sakura's killer has joined, and there are variables of one kind or another, he is not sure what exactly Sawaki Fair wants to do next.

After a pause, Yu Gongming continued: "However, when I was hiding in the bedroom, I saw him answering a phone call."

"It seems that this phone call should reveal a lot of clues." Meng Yu's eyes lit up.

"That's right!" Yu Gongming smiled and nodded:

Then, Akira Hanomiya relayed the contents of Sawaki Hiroshi's phone call verbatim.

Several people listened quietly, their expressions becoming more and more solemn.

After Yu Gongming finished speaking, Conan pushed up his glasses and said, "It seems that he will carry out a certain operation at ten o'clock tomorrow, and this operation is also quite dangerous for him, and he needs someone to take care of him."

Yu Gongming nodded slightly: 'That's right, and after he finished the phone call, he immediately wound up the crossbow, as if he was adapting to this military crossbow. ’

"I think this crossbow should be used in tomorrow's operation."

"If that's the case, he should be trying to attack someone with this crossbow." Mengyu said.

"But, if he was just attacking someone, why did he contact other people to help him escape? Could it be that the person who was going to attack was closely protected?" Xiaolan analyzed.

"Tight protection..." Conan's expression suddenly changed: "Is he still going to attack Murakami?"

"Eh? Is he the guy who wants to take revenge on his father?" Xiaolan blinked.

Conan took over: "Well, didn't Brother Hanomiya say that he was the one who followed Murakami in the first place? But because of Brother Hanomiya's intervention, Murakami fell into the hands of the police."

"And after the incident at the Metropolitan Police Department in the afternoon, Murakami's protection should be even tighter."

"Then, it doesn't seem surprising that Sawaki was prepared to assassinate Murakami's father under tight police protection."

"Assault on Murakami's father?" Akira Hanamiya was stunned.

He had never thought of this possibility.

According to the original work, Sawaki wanted to kill Murakami's father-in-law in order to blame him for his murder.

To complete the framing of the crime, the Murakami father-in-law must die silently.

However, Murakami's father-in-law is now under the protection of the police, and the police have already obtained some information about the "killer" and "employer".

Attacking Murakami's father-in-law now would no longer achieve the purpose of framing him.

Is it to silence you?

All the information that Murakami's father-in-law had should have been collected by the police, and the only woman that Murakami's father-in-law had ever seen was already in the hands of the police.

The police already knew her figure and appearance, so it didn't matter whether Murakami's father-in-law said anything.

Unless, before Murakami went to the warehouse, he had met Sawaki Eira before, and even had close contact, which would have been enough for the police to suspect him!

It's not impossible.

After all, Sawaki was able to send a killer to kill Murakami's father-in-law. I'm afraid he already knew the relationship between Murakami's father-in-law and Uncle Maori. This information would definitely require a certain amount of investigation to obtain.

"Whether it's an attack on Murakami's father or an attack on Officer Megure according to the original plot, it seems to be in line with Sawaki's current series of preparations..."

Yu Gongming's thoughts were swirling in his mind, and he kept thinking about which of the two possibilities was greater.

However, the information was insufficient and he had no clue.

"Do we need to rely on the position I put in the handbag to determine his whereabouts to confirm his target?"

That's right, Akira Hanamiya secretly threw a locator into his handbag while Conan was using a football to attract Nori Sawaki downstairs.

Sawaki Taichi definitely can't just carry the crossbow around, and the bag itself has a camouflage effect. If Sawaki Taichi takes action, he should leave directly with this bag, so that his whereabouts can be locked.

"If we need to lock down the whereabouts to confirm who he is going to attack, I'm afraid time will be a little tight by then. Even if I can stop it, there is a great risk that I will be exposed to the killer's offline..."

While Yumiya Ming was thinking, Conan continued: "The current clues are still insufficient. Brother Yumiya, do you have any clues?"

Akira Hanomiya came to his senses and replied: "No, but I installed a transmitter in that handbag, so that I can lock the position of Sawaki Fairy."

"Oh? Then things will be much easier to handle!" Conan's eyes lit up!

"Don't be too happy!" Yu Gongming expressed his concerns about the killer.

Conan also frowned: "This is indeed a problem. If we are targeted by those killers, we will be in big trouble. It seems that we have to be more careful in our actions and need to formulate a complete plan."

"Of course, but..." Yu Gongming looked at Xiaolan: "Does this plan need to include Xiaolan?"
