Conan: Naruto

Seven seconds later.

"Conan, Haoyue."

Xiaolan shook her head and tried her best to regain her consciousness. She looked at the backs of Dongfang Haoyue and Kudou Shinichi calmly and said softly:

"Let's leave here quickly and go to dad's place, okay~?"

"Good~"

After looking at the blood-stained glass window for a long time, Dongfang Haoyue gave up thinking for the time being and still didn't realize how the prisoner sneaked into the conference room.

He responded sweetly, dragging Kudo Shinichi, who was immersed in thought, and ran towards Xiaolan, who was worried that a ghost might rush out from a corner. He clasped his hands and placed them on his chest with his fingers intertwined.

--------

5 minutes later.

The corridor outside the door of the fourth floor conference room.

Xiaolan and the others walked up the steps to the fourth floor, and slowly walked through the empty deep corridor to the open door of the conference room far ahead on the left.

Dongfang Haoyue held Xiaolan's left hand with her right hand, stuck out her head and glanced at Kudo Shinichi on Xiaolan's right, and seriously judged in her heart:

"Shinichi has not yet solved the method used by the criminal suspect, Takashi Matsuo, to sneak into the conference room... On the one hand, it may be that Matsuo's tricks are beyond imagination, and on the other hand...

Because the prisoner is someone else, our thinking is in the wrong direction.

But Matsuo’s behavior is very suspicious, how could he not be a prisoner..."

Dongfang Haoyue thought about it and walked to the door of the conference room unconsciously.

He noticed that Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro were standing side by side two meters inside the window, and then looked back at Xiaolan, who was leaning against the right wall outside the door, not wanting to face the bloody crime scene.

Dongfang Haoyue turned his head and unexpectedly noticed that Kudo Shinichi on the right was staring at the blood-stained folding glass window.

Haoyue was stunned for a moment and looked at the window carefully. He was surprised to find that the blood stains extended from the broken part of the glass to the edge of the glass but did not stain the wooden frame of the window. He thought in confusion:

“Since the blood of the deceased was splattered on the edge of the glass, why is there no blood on the wooden frame next to the edge of the glass?

According to the current narrow range of the glass being pushed outward, the wooden frame should be stained with blood, which means...

Because when Suwa Michihiko was shot, the glass was pushed outward to a wider range, so some blood spattered outside the window. "

Kudo Shinichi put his hands in his pockets, stared at the window intently, and calmly analyzed in his heart:

“There are various indications that the prisoner fired four bullets at Suwa Michihiko in the conference room, and then left a pistol and silencer in the conference room.

In this case, the only possibility that can be considered is that the criminal broke into the conference room and shot Suwa.

Wait, something's wrong! "

Kudo's new pair of eyes narrowed, staring closely at the strange distribution of blood stains on the window glass, and thought solemnly in his heart:

"The absence of blood on the frame of the window means that the window was open more when Suwa Michihiko was shot.

Could it be that...the prisoner closed the window on purpose? "

Kudo Shinichi just lost his thoughts.

"Hello, Chiba?"

Officer Memu held the phone in his right hand and put it to his ear, stared at the window intently, and confirmed calmly:

"You haven't found the person the victim called before he died?"

Officer Memu heard the response on the phone, nodded slightly, and gave serious instructions:

"Continue the investigation and be sure to find the person on the call who may have key clues."

Officer Megure hung up the phone, put his phone back in the left pocket of his jacket, turned to look at Mouri Kogoro on the right, and asked hopefully:

"Detective Takagi has already conducted large-scale routine investigations in other rooms. I wonder what Detective Mori has to say?"

"Ah...haha, not yet."

Mouri Kogoro, who was staring at the glass window with his hands in his trouser pockets, was slightly startled, and quickly stopped his endless thoughts.

He looked at Officer Megure freely and explained with a chuckle:

"There are too few clues in this murder case. No matter how good the detective is, it will take some time to locate the criminal."

"Take a moment..."

Officer Memu put his hands in his pockets and shook his head helplessly.

During this period.

Kudo Shinichi calmly looked at Officer Megure and cautiously deduced in his heart:

"It has been quite some time since Officer Megure dispatched Chiba Detective to investigate the person Suwa Michihiko called, but the person has not yet been found...

From this point of view, Suwa's friends and relatives should not be the recipients of the call.

According to this, the person Suwa called was someone he didn't have much contact with, and was more likely to be a prisoner.

But... why would the prisoner talk to the person he was about to shoot? "

Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he looked horrified.

Dongfang Haoyue solemnly admired Xinyi's handsome face, and analyzed carefully in her heart:

"According to my cosmic understanding of Shinichi's expression... Shinichi has overturned the previous misunderstood thinking model, and is now back on track and has thought of the prisoner's true modus operandi.

Wait, Shinichi's expression has changed again!

It seems that Shinichi will soon grab my wrist and run outside to look for clues and verify whether the reasoning is correct. "

Dongfang Haoyue has not yet finished her thoughts.

Kudo Shinichi grabbed the unresisting Haoyue by the wrist and rushed out of the door with short steps.

After two seconds.

"Conan, Haoyue!!"

Xiaolan looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudou Shinichi who were passing by in front of her. She was stunned for a moment and quickly came back to her senses. A pair of beautiful eyes quickly locked onto their backs as they ran towards the stairs farther to the right.

Xiaolan stretched out her futile hands towards Haoyue and Shinichi as always, and complained loudly and eagerly:

"Where do you want to go again!!!"

"Sister Xiaolan!"

Dongfang Haoyue glanced at the resolute-looking Kudo Shinichi on the right, then looked back at Xiaolan, raised her left hand high, waved it repeatedly, and said sweetly and sweetly:

"Let's go to the bathroom and be back soon!"

"But......"

Xiaolan put down her hands helplessly.

She watched in astonishment as Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi gradually disappeared under the stairs. She looked blankly at the bathroom in front of her left and said dumbly:

"Isn't there a bathroom here...?"

--------

3 minutes later.

The open space behind the Japanese TV building.

"found it!!"

Kudo Shinichi knelt on one knee on the cold stone bricks, with his back to the building, his right hand on the ground, and his left wrist resting on his upright left thigh.

He looked at the bullet inlaid with stone bricks in front of him with high spirits, and said with determination:

"There is a bullet embedded here, my reasoning must be correct."

Kudo Shinichi stood up, turned around 180 degrees, put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the bright starry sky, and asserted solemnly:

"The Road to Illusion...is right there."

"I see."

Dongfang Haoyue, who was half-kneeling on the right side of Kudo Shinichi with his back to the building, thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and calmly retracted his gaze from the bullet.

Haoyue stood up, turned 180 degrees, put her hands behind her back, folded her forearms, looked up at the vast night sky, and said in deep agreement:

"That's where the criminals used their tricks... right there."
