In Conan, people have a brain option system

Akikawa Sousuke returned to Sogabe Ryo's screening room and sat down next to Itakura Misaki.

"Mr. Akikawa, you've been in the bathroom for a long time..."

Itakura Misaki couldn't help but complain when she saw Akikawa Sousuke coming back.

"There are a lot of police outside the screening room. I watched outside for a while."

"Huh?! Police?"

"Yes, I heard that Director Sogabe was found dead in his personal lounge."

"?!"

Itakura Misaki's eyes widened when she heard that.

She had an unbelievable expression on her face, and it took her a long time to digest the information in Akikawa Sousuke's words.

"What's going on... In more than a month, there have been three cases of death!"

"And why is the security of the Suzuki Group so bad!"

Itakura Misaki couldn't help but complain.

——

In Sogabe Ryo's personal lounge, Sera Masumi had just informed Megure Jusan, who had come to the scene, of the clues she and Conan had found.

After Megure Jusan ordered the police officers of the forensic department to further investigate the scene, he said to Sera Masumi with a serious face:

"This time the murderer has a pistol and is extremely dangerous."

"In order to prevent others from being hurt again, we must catch the murderer as soon as possible."

Sera Masumi also nodded with a serious face:

"I will do my best to assist Officer Megure."

At this time, Megure Jusan's mobile phone rang.

He answered the phone and then raised his voice suddenly:

"What did you say?! I know!"

Megure Jusan's sudden change attracted the attention of Conan and Sera Masumi.

He put down his phone and looked at Sera Masumi.

"Another person was found dead in his lounge. This time the dead person is called Soma Miho, also a director."

"Soma Miho?!"

Conan and Sera Masumi exclaimed after hearing Megure Jusan say this name.

Both of them have an impression of this name.

"Do you know him?" Megure Jusan asked.

"Soma Miho was the first eyewitness to the accident of Tsunekazu Kosaka yesterday, and she was the one who screamed yesterday."

"Moreover, Sogabe Ryo and Soma Miho who died today and Tsunekazu Kosaka who died yesterday were all friends who sat at the same table at the dinner yesterday."

Sera Masumi said.

"Three directors who sat at the same table all died. It can't be a coincidence no matter how you think about it."

Megure Jusan frowned and also made an analysis.

"Director Sogabe's situation has basically been judged. Let's go to Director Soma quickly."

Megure Jusan had no objection to Sera Masumi's suggestion. After giving some instructions, he prepared to take people to Soma Miho's exhibition hall.

Conan also wanted to go with him.

However, just as he was about to leave, he was grabbed by the collar by Mao Lilan.

"Conan-kun, you'd better not follow him. Didn't you hear what Inspector Megure said just now, that the criminal has a gun?"

"No, it's okay, Xiaolan-sister!"

"I said no--no!"

Mori Ran stretched out her tone, put her hands on her waist and showed a serious expression.

"It's okay, Xiaolan, the criminal will definitely not stay at the scene."

Sera Masumi also came out to help Conan out at this time.

"I guess Director Soma was killed by the murderer in his personal lounge during the film screening, just like Director Sogabe, and was not discovered until he was about to give a speech on stage before the next screening."

"And Conan-kun has a keen observation ability, and sometimes he can always find details that I don't notice."

"With his help, solving the case can always be twice as effective with half the effort."

"This..."

Sera Masumi's words made Mao Li Ran hesitate, and after a long while, she nodded.

"Okay, then Sera and Conan-kun, please be careful!"

Conan and Sera Masumi both agreed, and then followed Megure Jusan to Soma Miho's exhibition hall.

After they arrived at Soma Miho's exhibition hall, they found that Soma Miho's death was very similar to Sogabe Ryo.

Both were shot in the forehead.

The only difference is that Soma Miho was shot in the elbow.

"The bullet that attacked Director Soma is the same as the bullet that attacked Director Sogabe, both are 9mm bullets, so the initial judgment is that the same person committed the crime."

Sera Masumi made a judgment after observing the shells that fell on the ground.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Megure Jusan.

"Officer Megure, please ask the police officers in the forensic department to compare the rifling of the two bullets."

Megure Jusan nodded lightly and gave the order.

Just because the bullets are the same, it cannot be determined that they came from the same gun.

At this time, the rifling needs to be compared.

Rifling is like the fingerprint of a gun. Only after comparing the rifling can we truly determine that the two bullets were fired from the same gun.

"Since the three dead people were all the people who had dinner at the same table yesterday, it means that the murderer has a grudge against all three of them, right?"

Megure Jusan analyzed again.

"No."

Sera Masumi refuted Megure Jusan's opinion.

"The way the latter two people died is different from the way Tsunekazu Kosaka died yesterday. If the same person committed the crime, then he would have no reason to choose a more risky pistol."

"Another point is that the murderer could have killed them with one shot, but he still deliberately shot them in the arms and elbows."

"In other words, the murderer wanted to cover up something with the gunshot wounds."

"Wait, wait!"

When Masumi Sera said this, Megure Jusan suddenly interrupted.

"The wounds on Sogabe Ryo and Soma Miho's arms and elbows clearly showed signs of life. Didn't the murderer first hit their arms and elbows, and then hit their heads?"

"If the murderer really wanted to cover up something, shouldn't he wait until they died before shooting their arms?"

"Shooting these non-lethal parts while they are still alive is not only difficult to hit, but it will also alert the target, causing them to scream and attract other people's attention, right?"

Megure Jusan found it difficult to agree with Masumi Sera's reasoning, thinking that doing so was somewhat illogical.

"This is because the murderer is very smart."

Conan's childish voice suddenly rang out at the scene.

It successfully attracted the attention of Megure Jusan and the police officers present.

"Like what Officer Megure said, if the murderer shot other parts of their bodies after they died, wouldn't the police be able to immediately determine the murderer's purpose through their daily reactions?"

Megure Jusan thought about it and felt that it made sense.

But he still looked a little hard to accept.

"The kid is right."

Sera Masumi took over the conversation.

"It sounds difficult to shoot the deceased in a specific part of their body and then in the head while they are still alive, without attracting other people's attention."

"But Officer Megure, have you noticed that both the penetrating wound on Sogabe Ryo's arm and the penetrating wound on Soma Miho's elbow have a characteristic."

"That is, the trajectory of the bullets flew from the air to the ground, not to the surrounding walls."

"That is to say, the murderer did not shoot at the deceased from a long distance, but at a close distance, even when the deceased took the initiative to stretch out his arms to the murderer, and suddenly pulled out a gun and shot at their arms."

"This not only proves that the murderer has a close relationship with the deceased."

"It also proves that the traces the murderer wants to cover up must be very important to him."

"Either it is enough to expose the murderer's identity, or it will pose a fatal threat to the murderer."

Sera Masumi said in a deep voice, looking at Soma Miho's body on the ground.
