Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

"Ok?"

Feeling the huge force coming from his left trouser leg, Sawaki Gongping was forced to stop and looked back at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, asking with a puzzled look:

"what happened?"

Actually...

Sawaki Gongping secretly observed Dongfang Haoyue and thought with doubt:

"This kid is really strong."

at the same time.

"What's wrong?!"

Maori Kogoro, Inspector Megure, and Detective Shiratori rushed to the back of Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, looked down at them, then looked at Sawaki Kouhei, confirmed that no one was injured, and asked carefully:

"what's going on?"

"Look over there."

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi released Sawaki Kouhei with one mind, turned around and pointed at the pistol-style crossbow, and said concisely and solemnly:

“There’s a mechanism!”

"Ok?"

Kogoro Mouri, Officer Megure, and Detective Shiratori all turned around, strode to the front of the wine rack, half-crouched, and carefully observed the interlayer of the wine rack. With a solemn expression, they discovered...

The trigger of the crossbow is connected to a shiny fishing line, and playing cards and the eight of spades are placed in the front left.

Maori Kogoro turned around and looked at Sawaki Kouhei, and asked without question:

"Stand there and don't move!"

"What...what happened?"

Sawaki Kohei turned around and looked at Mori Kogoro, a look of confusion appearing on his plain face.

Kogoro strode past Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, stopped to the left of Sawaki, and scanned the aisle ahead with his eagle-like eyes. As expected, he found...

Half a meter below and in front, a fishing line spanned two rows of wine racks, blocking the way forward.

Maori Kogoro pointed at the fishing line, turned to look at Sawaki Kouhei, and made a solemn judgment:

"Look, there's a fishing line over there.

If you touch it while walking, it will trigger the shooting of crossbow arrows and cause misfortune. "

"I see."

Sawaki Kouhei looked down at the fishing line, his words filled with the feeling of surviving a disaster.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi turned around, put their hands in their pockets, stared at Sawaki intently, and said calmly in their hearts:

“If we hadn’t reminded him to stop, would he have really been hit by the arrow?

Is the crossbow mechanism a self-torture trick or evidence that the culprit is someone else?

It’s a headache... Now I feel like he’s a criminal, but I also feel like he’s not...!"

at the same time.

Inspector Megure and Detective Shiratori turned around and looked at Kogoro Mori and Kohei Sawaki, their expressions becoming more serious.

The rest of the people gathered around and looked at the crossbow with different emotions.

Officer Megure came back to his senses, looked at Detective Shiratori calmly, and instructed according to police practice:

"Shiratori, put away the Eight of Spades. As for the crossbows and the mechanisms... wait until the forensic personnel arrive here to deal with them."

"Yes."

Detective Shiratori nodded slightly, took out a light gray handkerchief from the right pocket of his shirt, turned around and looked at the playing cards, wrapped them through the handkerchief and put them back in place.

Officer Megure looked at it and calmly judged:

"Everyone, we found a playing card, the Eight of Spades. According to our previous speculation, it is very likely that Murakami Jō set up a mechanism to attack Sawaki Kohei."

"So it seems that the letter was also written by Murakami-jo."

Detective Shiratori turned and looked at Inspector Megure, very calm.

Xiaolan stood half a meter in front of Officer Megure, folded her hands in front of her, looked at him and then at Shiratori, and asked in confusion:

“According to your previous thoughts, Murakami-jo wanted to attack someone my father knew through the number sequence of playing cards.

Why did Murakami skip the number nine and set up a trap to deal with Mr. Sawaki, whose name represents eight? "

"this......"

Officer Megure and Detective Shiratori looked at Xiaolan hesitantly, their thoughts turning over in a flash, and they speculated in doubt:

"Could it be that Xu Shengyi has already..."

Inspector Megure and Detective Shiratori stopped talking and looked at each other solemnly, without stating their conclusion directly.

Maori Kogoro walked to half a meter to the right of Megure, stared at him intently, and added calmly:

"Has been brutally murdered."

"all in all."

Inspector Megure looked at Maori Kogoro helplessly, then looked at the people with different emotions, and made rational arrangements:

"I will take you away from the Crystal on the water where there may be traps. Once you are safe, we will send police to investigate."

--------

After a short time.

Bright restaurant with closed door.

"what?"

Officer Megure walked steadily into the door, looked at it in surprise, and described it in confusion:

"The door is closed?

Isn't this the entrance?"

"It's right here. There's no mistake."

Detective Shiratori stood behind Inspector Megure to the left, staring sharply at the gate.

Nana Koyama was standing behind Shiratori to the right. She was not afraid of the potential criminal. She looked at Inspector Megure calmly and told him lightly:

"Before you go back, let me take the bag from the dining table~"

Nana Koyama turned right without waiting for Officer Megure's response and walked leisurely towards the dining area. She was shocked to find...

Far ahead, in the sea outside the glass wall, Xu Shengyi was floating with a deathly pale face, and a playing card, the nine of spades, was stuck on the left chest with transparent tape.

Nana Koyama witnessed this scene, her pupils dilated, and she couldn't help but screamed:

"what!!!!!"

Everyone was slightly stunned, turned their heads and followed Koyama Nana's gaze to look at Asahi Katsuyoshi, their faces suddenly changed and their expressions were horrified.

Maori Kogoro stood to the right of Inspector Megure and called out in disbelief:

"Mr. Shengyi?!"

"Nine of Spades!?"

Officer Megure looked at Spade Nine excitedly, and forced himself to regain his composure and asserted:

"It was Murakami-jo who really committed this crime."

"Officer Megure!"

Detective Shiratori quickly came to his senses, turned around, strode to the electronic lock on the right side of the door, tried to open the door to no avail, turned back to look at Officer Megure, and reported carefully:

"The electronic lock has sealed this door, I can't open it!"

"what?"

Officer Megure turned to look at the electronic lock, then looked at Detective Shiratori, and made a serious decision:

"I'm calling for backup now!"

Before Officer Megure finished speaking, he decisively took out an old-fashioned black mobile phone from his inner pocket and hung it in front of his chest. He looked down at its display screen and suddenly found that it said "No Signal". He explained with a serious expression:

"It doesn't work. There's no signal here."

Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro turned and ran to the front of the counter, bent over, grabbed the edge of the counter with his left hand, picked up the receiver of the lavender landline phone on the counter with his right hand, put it to his ear, listened to nothing, put the receiver back heavily, and described angrily:

"Damn it, the line has been cut!"

Maori Kogoro turned around, ran to the kitchen quickly and vigorously, and said goodbye loudly without looking back:

"Officer Megure, I'm going to check the emergency exit!"

at the same time.

Everyone turned around and looked at Kogoro Mori walking away with different attitudes.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stood in front of Xiaolan, not far behind Officer Megure's left, with their hands in their pockets, looking at the overall situation calmly, as if it had nothing to do with them. In fact, they were confident in their hearts and said:

"Even if all the entrances and exits here are blocked, I (Haoyue) can use water mist to cover up any surveillance, use the Heart Turning Technique to help everyone sleep, and use my divine power to send everyone away."
