Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"There is another person..."

After understanding the current situation, Nakamori Ginzo pondered, and his eyes naturally scanned the people in the hall.

"——If my guess is correct, that person should be news reporter Fujioka Ryūdō, right?"

At this moment, Dr. A Li's voice came, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"That reporter?"

After hearing such a speech, the faces of the sober gangsters changed slightly, but Suzuki Jikichiro said in confusion:

"No way, wasn't that person sent to the clinic? And to prevent them from running around, the door was locked."

"It stands to reason that it is."

Dr. A Li smiled, then looked at the tied up waitress in the hall and said:

"But if you recall for a moment, you should be able to remember that the waiter who sent them to the clinic was their accomplice!"

"!"

After being reminded by the other party, everyone present suddenly reacted.

However, Nakamori Ginzo still had some questions:

"But the other party has been infected by murderous bacteria. If the other party is really a [Red Siamese cat], is it necessary to do this?"

Of course, he does not deny that there are terrorists who are not afraid of death and even dare to launch suicide attacks, but at least judging from the actions of the [Red Siamese Cat] people they have subdued now, they are not like that. Extremists, and seem to have ulterior motives.

"This is about another speculation of mine."

Dr. Ali mentioned this, but did not explain it directly. Instead, he mentioned another matter:

"But before that, I think we can go to the clinic to see if those two people are still there, and then bring them back here."

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro on the side said dissatisfied:

"What are you trying to do, Dr. Ali? Can't you just say no?!"

Dr. A Li said helplessly:

"Of course, but their words can better prove my conjecture. In addition, I am also a little worried about the waiter who is locked up with the other party."

Indeed, if Takamichi Fujioka is really from [Red Siamese Cat], the waitress may be in some danger.

Nakamori Ginzo and Suzuki Jikichiro looked at each other, nodded, and then Nakamori Ginzo carefully left the hall with his two men.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and others accepted the commission and sat around Dr. Agasa, blocking the space on both sides of him tightly so that no one could see Conan behind him, who was using a butterfly voice changer to imitate Dr. Agasa's speech. .

During this interval, Pest glanced at Conan strangely, and then asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"What does this mean? Special performance?"

"Hey——"

Fujimaru Ritsuka motioned her to keep her voice down so that no one else could hear her, and then said with a smile:

"If it's a performance, it's a rare event, right?"

After all, Conan usually stabs Mouri Kogoro unconscious and pretends to be him. It is indeed rare to use Dr. Agasa to reason like this.

Matthew, Leonardo da Vinci, and Moriarty also observed this scene with some curiosity. This was also the first time they had seen such a situation, which was quite strange.

It's not a performance!

On the other side, after hearing the conversation between Fujimaru Ritsuka and Pest, Conan had a dark look on his face, but he didn't dare to speak out because he was worried about being exposed.

He was also a little helpless about this. Generally speaking, he was indeed more accustomed to using Mouri Kogoro's identity to reason, but this time the other party was sleeping for a long time, and he did not see some things at all.

That's why he reluctantly approached Dr. Agasa and asked him to lip-sync for reasoning. Since there were too many people in the hall, he could only ask Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others to help him block it.

Let’s get back to the point.

After a while, Nakamori Ginzo and others came back, but only brought back the infected waitress.

As soon as he entered the door, he said in a deep voice:

"Dr. Agasa's guess is correct, Fujioka Ryūdō is indeed a member of the [Red Siamese Cat]!"

As soon as they arrived at the clinic, they saw that the waitress's hands and feet were tied up and her mouth was gagged. After they rescued the other party, the other party immediately informed them of the relationship between Fujioka Ryūdō and the ghost waiter.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone turned their attention to Dr. Agasa again. At the same time, Mouri Kogoro frowned and said:

"If that's the case, isn't that guy too cruel? He doesn't even hesitate to be infected with bacteria..."

"No, he didn't have a bacterial infection."

"Eh?"

The speech of 'Dr. Agasa' made Mouri Kogoro stunned for a moment, and then he heard him smile:

"Actually, I don't think anyone was infected with the killer bacteria. In other words, the other party didn't bring the killer bacteria out of the laboratory at all."

"What——?!"×n

This sentence was so contrary to their cognition that everyone's first reaction was disbelief. Suzuki Jijiro frowned and looked at the infected waitress and producer and said:

"However, they all have obvious prickly heat. Isn't this a symptom of infection?"

"Indeed not."

Dr. Ali answered confidently, then looked at the two people and said:

"Let me confirm first. When you were smoking in the smoking room, one of you leaned his elbow on the back of the sofa, and the other put his hand on the cushion of the sofa, right?"

"Yes, yes."

The two nodded in surprise, not knowing that Dr. Ali would be so clear about it, but then, they seemed to have discovered something, and they suddenly showed surprised expressions.

At the same time, everyone onlookers quickly discovered the clues——

The places where the prickly heat rash occurred on the two people's bodies were exactly the same as the parts where the body surface was in contact with the sofa, but there was no abnormality in other places!

"If it is a bacterial infection, it should not behave like this. Their situation is more like a skin allergy."

Dr. A Li said:

"I guess what the other party sprayed in the smoking room was not murderous bacteria, but some kind of substance that could cause skin allergies, such as lacquer."

Nakamori Ginzo also reacted and suddenly realized:

"Speaking of which, Fujioka Ryūdō was the only one who had prickly heat all over his body and acted very exaggeratedly. Isn't that just a deliberate disguise by the other party?!"

"I think so too, so there is only one truth -"

"[Red Siamese cats] just lied that they had stolen murderous bacteria, but in fact they didn't! That's why they blew up the laboratory so that the police could not judge!"

"As for the evidence, as long as the solution of the so-called killer bacteria seized after the airship lands is tested, we should be able to get the answer."

After saying that, Dr. Ali looked at the subdued gangsters and smiled:

"What I said should be right, right?"

The other party's face was gloomy at this time, and although he did not speak, he gave a silent answer.

Although Conan behind Dr. A Li couldn't see their faces, he raised the corners of his mouth confidently and was very sure of his reasoning.

This was the inspiration he got from Fujimaru Ritsuka's words before.

If the other party possesses murderous bacteria, it will be difficult to explain many behaviors. On the contrary, after accepting the view that "murderous bacteria do not exist", the entire chain of reasoning suddenly becomes smoother.

There's just one more thing he hasn't figured out yet, and that's the other party's purpose.

He lied about stealing murderous bacteria, causing people all over the country to become upset. He made the matter such a big deal. What exactly did the other party want to achieve?

...It can’t really be just to steal things, right?
