Conan's other self

"I found two clues here." After a moment, Conan, who was avoiding the crowd, exchanged information with Maplehara in a low voice using an earring-shaped phone. "One of them is a purple handkerchief."

"The crystal lamp fell and before the light came on, this handkerchief fell from above and just landed on my side. The words [Memorial Meeting of Director Shimonaki] were embroidered on the upper left side of the handkerchief. This may be what the owner of the handkerchief said when he came here. Received handkerchief.”

"I just observed that everyone at the scene basically has this handkerchief, but the color is different. It may be based on the idea of ​​​​director Sakemaki's masterpiece "Rainbow Colored Handkerchief", seven-color handkerchiefs were distributed to the guests. .

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

"The second clue is the fragment of the crystal lamp chain, which was just found in the food. You should have noticed it, right?"

Conan ended his big call with a question.

"Yeah." Fengyuan responded briefly.

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

"I can answer this question." Feng Yuan replied, "Do you remember the flash before the crystal chandelier fell?"

"certainly."

"Following that, I heard silenced gunfire."

"Gunshot?" Conan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded, "No wonder... This makes sense. The prisoner used a gun to shoot the light chain to cause the fall, so the handkerchief was used to cover up the shooting in the dark. Firelight…”

"The police were at the scene from the beginning, so he had no chance to dispose of the gun. The gun should still be on him, as well as the fingerprints on the handkerchief and the smoke reaction on his body," Conan said with a confident smile on his face. Feng Yuan, this guy named Pisco is really careless."

It hasn't been dealt with by Gin yet, so it can be seen that Pisi doesn't often do these things, Maplehara thought, and then added:

"There were also flashes at that time. Judging from the time and location, the camera most likely captured his shooting action. It should be a professional camera. People at the scene were all coming to the memorial service, so they would bring such a thing specially. Not much."

"That's right, but there's no rush." ​​Conan said that the person taking the secret photos may not necessarily actively cooperate with the police for his own benefit. "As long as you know who is holding the purple handkerchief, you can find him."

After recalling the location where he picked up the handkerchief and where the lamp chain fragments fell, Conan already had a vague guess in his mind.

"I'll go confirm it right away."

The door to the truth is right in front of you.

Conan pulled up the hood of his coat, came to the door, and skillfully lied to the policeman guarding the door of the venue that he wanted to use the toilet.

Because the other person was just a child, the police officer opened the door without thinking. But what surprised both him and Conan was that as the door was opened, continuous flashes of light blinded their eyes.

"Wait, what do you want to do?" The police officer quickly blocked the door with his body to prevent reporters who came after hearing the news from entering.

"Congressman Tunkou is dead, is it true?"

"I heard he died accidentally..."

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

The police officers behind struggled to close the door again, and Conan came to the service desk next to him and asked about the purple handkerchief.

"The one with the purple handkerchief?"

"Yeah!" Conan nodded, "Because I picked up a purple handkerchief and wanted to return it to someone else." Conan said, "Will these handkerchiefs be used for something later?"

"Originally, it seemed that at the end of the memorial service, people holding a specific color would be invited to give a speech..."

"Can you tell me their names? I want to return the handkerchief to the person who dropped it."

"Okay, let me take a look." This child is so cute, the service staff thought to herself, flipping through the registration book, "Well... this couple left with this group not long after they came... so there are currently... She turned the book over and handed it to Conan to read, "Here, these are the seven."

…

Inside the venue.

"Is the case almost solved?" Hui Yuan Ai asked softly.

"Yes." Fengyuan replied, "However, I'm worried that there may be other organization members present."

"This is in line with the organization's usual practice." Haihara Ai agreed, "Generally speaking, there will be another organization member on site to ensure that the operation goes smoothly."

"Don't take it lightly, Kudo." After a pause, Haihara Ai reminded.

"I have some guesses."

Hui Yuarai looked over curiously.

Maplehara explained:

"If you want to kill people in this way, you have to take the initiative to walk under the chandelier. I think Pisko is probably threatening him, saying that if he wants to have a chance to survive, he has to wait there.

Or maybe they would talk to him at that time and provide help. But there is only one such opportunity. Representative Tunkou may be arrested tomorrow. 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 will most likely be near Representative Tunkou. "

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

"Don't look. It would be bad if that person notices your gaze and sees you in turn." Fengyuan said.

In the world of Ke Xue, there are always people with strong senses. For example, those sniper masters can sense that someone is targeting them from thousands of meters away.

Of course, he didn't know whether those people could do it in his reality, but he didn't want to gamble.

Haihara Ai turned her head back obediently.

Apart from the fact that she had to follow me, Haihara Ai was particularly obedient and quiet today...

Is it because of the dream?

Feng Yuan was thinking, but on the other side, the Memu Police Department couldn't control the situation.

There were basically rich and powerful people on the field, and it was difficult for the Mumu Police Department to control the situation. After reporters tried to rush in, everyone who did not want to be exposed to the flashbulbs became impatient.

Soon a group of people attacked the Mu Mu Police Department.

Thinking that keeping people on the scene might cause a commotion, and the death of Councilor Tunkou seemed like an accident, the Megure Police Department relented and agreed to let the group of people out.

Conan is outside now and will notice. So Fengyuan is not worried.

"Let's go out too."

Watching the foreign actress walking out among the crowd, Feng Yuan said to Haibara Ai.

Haibara sighed, and then saw Feng Yuan take out the mask from his pocket.

"If you put it on now, no one will notice."

"..."

After giving Feng Yuan an annoyed look, Hai Yuan Ai took the mask obediently, pulled down the scarf slightly, and put the mask on.

Feng Yuan helped her straighten her hat that had been knocked askew by him, and looked at Hai Yuan Ai carefully.

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

After making preparations, the two of them walked outside.

A large number of reporters were crowded at the door, and people at the scene did not want to be the last to be stopped by reporters, so the scene seemed a bit crowded and messy.

They were in an inconspicuous corner before, but now they were at the edge of the crowd when they went out.

Standing and waiting for the people in front to go out first, Haiyuan Ai felt a little more at ease.

Although she did not think that the people in the organization would be caught as easily as Kudo and Edogawa thought, the matter in front of them was almost over, and they had not encountered Gin, nor had they been exposed...

Not exposed either…

Huihara Ai froze again.

She once again felt the breath of the organization members, and they were not far behind her.

But before she had time to think about it, she felt herself being held back.

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