Detective Conan: Orange-flavored summer

On the helicopter.

"Ai, look at our house. Look, isn't Sister Shimi basking in the sun in the yard?!"

Haibara Ai looked in the direction Shangguan Chinatsu pointed, the corners of her mouth slightly raised and a smile appeared on her face.

"Wow, Sister Xiaolan, look, it's an office."

"Yeah, it's true, Conan"

"Hahahaha, you guys can sit down now!"

……

Dongdu Airport.

Shangguan Qianxia's eyes sparkled with a smile, and she said to Huiyuan Ai with a smile: "How was it, was the trip worthwhile?"

"Not bad, right?" Although this was Haibara Ai's evaluation, there was a hint of smile in her voice.

The smile on Shangguan Qianxia's face became even more intense. She rubbed Huibara Ai's head with her hand. Really, she was obviously very happy, but she had to pretend to be okay. She was really tsundere.

"What are you doing?" Haibara Ai slapped the hand away in dissatisfaction and said to Shangguan Chinatsu with a frown.

"Inspector Megure, what are you holding in your hand?" Conan, who had turned into a curious baby, asked Inspector Megure.

Upon hearing this, Officer Megure said solemnly, "We found this at the helicopter airport where Mr. Hiroki Tsuji parked at Toudou Airport. It is the number 'ten' on a playing card."

Shangguan Qianxia raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the criminal only made one move, and whether he succeeded or not, he would leave behind a corresponding poker card?"

Then, Shangguan Qianxia shook her head and said speculatively, "Perhaps, these are just a trick. The person he really wants to kill is just one or several of the people 1-13 in the playing card."

"Sister Shangguan, do you have any clues?" Inspector Megure looked at Shangguan Chinatsu with surprise. After all, Shangguan Chinatsu had helped him solve several cases, big and small, and each time she was quick, accurate and ruthless.

"This is just my guess. Of course, there's nothing wrong with talking about it. Think about it, Sister Hime, Dr. Agasa, and Officer Megure. You all suffered minor injuries, and they were not in any fatal danger. But this uncle is different. If I hadn't discovered the bottle of problematic potion at the time, I don't need to tell you what would have happened to this gentleman, right?"

"So, I wonder if he wanted to kill only one of the people with 1-13 in their names according to the so-called poker card order, or several people, and Mr. Hiroki Tsuji is unfortunately the one who must die."

Officer Megure frowned as he thought, while Xiaolan looked at Shangguan Qian in confusion and said, "But, if that's the case, wouldn't it be enough to just kill whoever he wants to kill?"

Shangguan Qianxia raised the corner of her mouth slightly, lowered her eyes and thought, and continued with a smile: "Acquaintances, the criminal must be acquainted with the people whose names have numbers 1-13 on the playing cards, and these people happen to be people you know, Uncle Maori, or people you are not familiar with, so he disrupted the police's sight and killed the people he wanted to kill without suspecting him."

Shangguan Chinatsu paused, then she looked at Officer Megure and smiled faintly: "Do you think the murderer is Murakami Jō? In fact, this is also a suspicious point. Officer Megure said that he was released from prison last week, right?"

"Oh, yes." Officer Megure responded.

"He probably didn't have time to investigate Uncle Mori during his sentence. Even if someone helped investigate, he had the opportunity to kill Officer Megure, Sister Kissing, or Dr. Agasa, but he didn't. Even if he wanted to torture Uncle Mori, he could have made him lose his loved ones and watched people around him die one after another because of him, but he was powerless to do anything. That might be the real torture."

Inspector Megure and Uncle Mori looked at Shangguan Chinatsu in shock. If it was really as she said, then the suspicion of Murakami Jyou suddenly became very small.

Shangguan Qianxia put her hand on her chin and frowned as she said, "Of course, these are just speculations. I don't have any substantial evidence, so whether this villager is a suspect or not remains to be investigated."

"Yoshi, if it's really as Sister Shangguan's reasoning, then Mr. Hiroki Tsuji should be on the criminal's kill list. Shiratori, send some police officers to protect Mr. Hiroki Tsuji."

"Yes!"

"Mr. Hiroki Tsuji, I'm very sorry. During this period..."

"Hahaha, it's okay, officer."

Conan on the side lowered his head, the lenses of his glasses reflecting the light, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Conan looked up at Uncle Maori and said curiously, "Uncle, think about who you know who has the word nine in their name?"

"I can't think of the number nine right now, but there is an eight... Mr. Zemu, the wine connoisseur. His name is Gongping, and there is an eight on top of 'Gong'." Uncle Maori pondered.

"Yoshi, let's go meet this Sawaki now." Officer Megure made the decision immediately.

Shangguan Qianxia smiled and said to Officer Megure, "Officer Megure, do you mind bringing two more people?"

"Hahaha, of course, with your help, Sister Shangguan, solving the case is just around the corner."

Shangguan Qianxia waved her hand, smiled modestly, and said, "No, no, Officer Megure, you think too highly of me."

……

"Did the man named Murakami attack Mr. Mori's friends one after another in order to avenge Mr. Mori?"

"Yes, but..." Uncle Maori wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and decided not to say it. He actually wanted to talk about Shangguan Chinatsu's reasoning, but then he thought that there was no clear suspect and it would be pointless to say anything, so he just didn't bother to say it.

Sawaki Gongping did not ask Uncle Maori about it, after all, that would be too rude, so he joked: "By the way, Mr. Maori, you are quite patient."

Uncle Maori smiled happily when he heard this. He said with a smile, "Because I am number five, it will be a long time before it is my turn."

At this time, our curious baby Conan was already walking around in someone else's house and observing. He looked at a bottle in a cabinet and said in surprise: "It's red wine."

When Zemu Gongping heard Conan's words, he turned to look at Conan and explained with a smile: "That is called a wine cooler, a device that keeps the wine at a suitable temperature."

"There's a lot of wine in there." Conan said curiously with a surprised expression.

"Mr. Sawaki's hometown is in Yamanashi Prefecture, where he runs an orchard. There are hundreds of bottles of red wine in the wine cellar there, right?" When he said this, Uncle Maori looked at Sawaki Gongping with anticipation.

"Yes, I want to use it when I open my own shop in the future."

Shiratori looked at Zemu Gongping expectantly and asked with a smile, "I like red wine the most. Can I have a look?"
