"It should be, but I think this person must have a grudge against Uncle Maori." Shangguan Qianxia said after pondering for a moment.

"I think so too. It seems that the criminals are targeting people Mr. Maori knows." Officer Shiratori echoed Shangguan Chinatsu.

"But who could it be?" Uncle Maori said in confusion, looking thoughtful.

Officer Shiratori took out a small notebook from his inner pocket. He flipped through it and said in a deep voice, "The only clue is the license plate number of the off-road motorcycle, but it was a stolen motorcycle."

At this time, Officer Megure opened the door and walked in. Officer Shiratori asked in confusion: "Officer?"

Uncle Maori looked at Inspector Megure and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that not only Eri, but even Professor Agasa was attacked."

"But your wound hasn't healed yet..." Uncle Maori said with some concern.

"It's already been sewn up, it's okay."

Then, Inspector Megure continued in a serious voice: "I heard that the criminal should be Murakami Jō."

"Murakami-jo..."

Officer Shiratori asked with a hint of curiosity: "Who is he?"

"He is a lone poker dealer. He killed someone ten years ago and was released on parole a week ago." Officer Megure explained in a deep voice.

Xiaolan asked in confusion: "Poker gambling dealer?"

"He's the person who deals cards to poker gamblers." Huibara Ai said softly while standing aside.

"I see, but how did you know that, Ai?"

"It was sister Chinatsu who told me." Haibara Ai raised the corner of her mouth slightly, glanced at Shangguan Chinatsu, and said with a smile.

Xiaolan turned around and looked at Shangguan Qianxia in surprise, and said with a smile: "Qianxia, ​​you know so many things."

Shangguan Chinatsu looked at Huibara Ai helplessly, and laughed at Xiaolan and said Hahaha.

"This is Murakami Takeshi ten years ago." Inspector Megure took out a photo and said in a deep voice.

Uncle Maori took a look at the photo, raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Murakami... He does have reason to hate me."

"Why?" Conan looked at Uncle Maori curiously and said.

"I was the one who arrested him."

"But isn't it natural for the police to catch bad guys?"

"That's true."

Officer Shiratori thought for a while and said, "I've heard about this too. I heard that after this man was taken to the police station..."

"Shiratori, stop talking!" Inspector Megure yelled at Inspector Shiratori.

Uncle Maori frowned, looking thoughtful. He said in confusion, "But why didn't Murakami come to me directly? If you have a grudge against me, you should come to me directly, right?"

Inspector Megure speculated to Uncle Maori: "Maybe he wants to torture you, and then slowly force you into a dead end."

Uncle Maori's expression turned serious, his eyes showing deep thought, as if he was quickly analyzing the current situation in his mind.

At this time, Conan asked Uncle Maori: "Among your acquaintances, is there anyone whose name contains the number '十'?"

"Huh?" Uncle Maori looked at Conan in confusion, as if he didn't react.

"He might be the criminals' next target." Conan said quickly.

"Ten? Ten..." Uncle Maori was startled, raised his head and said loudly: "Ms. Towako!"

Shangguan Qianxia began to think about it. According to the "Maori Elimination Method", this Towako should be fine. If not, who would be the criminal's target?

……

"Why don't you go and join them in guarding Miss Towako?" Haibara Ai's hands were typing something on the keyboard quickly, and she asked Shangguan Chinatsu who was lying on the table.

Shangguan Qianxia heard this and said to Huiyuan with a sad smile: "Why would I go to a nightclub? Isn't there that guy Conan? But I don't think the murderer should be that Murakami Jō."

Huiyuan Ai stopped what she was doing, looked at Shangguan Qianxia, ​​and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

"It's too obvious. If he really wanted to make Uncle Maori feel desperate, he shouldn't have revealed himself so quickly. This makes me feel that he is deliberately leading us to believe that the murderer is Shu Shangzhang. Of course, this is just my speculation."

"Then who do you think it could be?"

"I don't know. Forget it, let's not talk about this. When are you going to bed?" Shangguan Chinatsu tilted her head and said to Huibara Ai in confusion.

Huiyuan Ai held her chin with her hand. She looked at Shangguan Qianxia with an ambiguous expression, and with a smile on her lips, she said, "We should stay up all night."

"All night? Please, you are an elementary school student now, you should go to bed early, okay? Otherwise I will confiscate your equipment." Shangguan Qianxia said with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"Oh, don't you want me to change back?" Haibara Ai said in surprise.

"But... forget it, you are not allowed to stay up all night anyway!" Shangguan Qianxia said with a firm attitude and an unquestionable tone.

Huihara Ai still had a smile on her face, and she didn't seem surprised by Shangguan Chinatsu's decision. She said lazily, "Are you really not expecting me to change back soon? Last time someone helped me change my face shape to what it would be like when I grow up."

Shangguan Qianxia heard this without showing any strangeness on her face, and said calmly: "No, I just slightly adjusted your face shape."

Huiyuan Ai propped up her head with her hands, looked at Shangguan Qianxia with a half-smile, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Then Qianxia, ​​we..."

Knock, knock, knock. The voice of Shimi Huihara came from outside the door.

"Xiao Ai, can I come in?"

"can."

Huihara Shimi opened the door and walked in. She smiled at Shangguan Chinatsu who was sitting on the chair and said, "Sure enough, Chinatsu, you are here."

"What's wrong, sister?" Haibara Ai looked at Haibara Shimi and said puzzledly.

"Sister Zhimei, what do you want from me?"

"Hey, I've prepared hot milk for you." Huihara Shimi said to them with a smile.

Shangguan Qianxia took the hot milk, thanked her and took a sip. She stood up and complained to Huihara Shimi, "Sister Shimi, Xiao Ai said she will stay up all night to do experiments. You have to keep an eye on her."

"Shangguan!" Huibara Ai looked at Shangguan Chinatsu with dissatisfaction, with a hint of anger in her tone.

"Lululu~" Shangguan Qianxia made a face at her and quickly slipped out of the room.

Haibara Ai narrowed her eyes and watched Shangguan Chinatsu leave, her eyes flashing with thought.

"Ai!" Shimi Haibara put the milk on the table, put her hands on her hips and said to Ai Haibara.

Huihara sighed, picked up the milk and took a sip, then said helplessly to her sister: "I know, I'll go back to my room now."

"That's right, but if it happens once or twice, I won't say anything."
