As ambulances arrived one after another, the assassination mission came to an end.

The police claimed that the crowd was too crowded and that Segawa Si had suddenly fallen ill and suffocated to death.

By then, a large number of scandals about Segawa Shi were published online, as well as the actor's admission of the script. In the end, the police classified the incident as an accident and criticized the security of Nichimi TV.

Baijiu observed Segawa Si from a distance. There was no abnormality in his body shrinking, and no toxins were detected in his body.

If I hadn't met Conan, I might have thought it was just a simple "poison".

Now at least the conjecture has been verified, that is, specific conditions must be met in order to become smaller.

Could it be related to "bloodline", but are there any "blood connection" between Vermouth, Conan, and Haibara Ai?

Baijiu looked at the body being dragged away and pondered secretly.

"I'm sorry, President. If I could control the media opinion today, the stampede wouldn't have happened." Kil said dejectedly from behind.

"It's not your fault. The main responsibility lies with me. If there were more security, the tragedy might not have happened." The president sighed.

"But now the media seems to be criticizing Segawa Si. I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. He really has two faces."

"You don't have to blame yourself. In fact, this can be considered another way of 'eliminating harm for the people.'" The president said in a low voice, covering his mouth.

Baijiu parked the car outside the gate, rolled down the window and looked at Kiel.

"Thank you, President. I'll be leaving now. My friends are waiting for me. See you tomorrow." Keel smiled a healing smile.

Kiel walked to the liquor cart, instantly switching to a cold expression, and spoke lightly.

"Head to Haido-cho 5-chome."

"Why do you live there?" Baijiu looked at Kil in confusion.

"No, I received a call from a friend tonight asking to come over for my birthday party. You should know the Strawberry Duo."

"Oh! I've heard of it. It's the hottest male and female comedy duo right now. I fall asleep listening to their crosstalk every night."

"Can I go with you? I just want an autograph." Baijiu blinked at Kil embarrassedly.

"Of course, but it will only be signed by Ms. Asako," Kiel replied coldly.

"Why isn't Mr. Jiro here? As a partner, she should be here too. Besides, today is her birthday."

"I don't know about that. Maybe something happened." Keel explained.

"By the way, you did a very thorough job, Gil. You were the one who asked your informant to post those scandals online, right?"

"Yes." Keel opened his phone and sent a message.

Sure enough, there were spies of the organization everywhere. Although there were no code names, it seemed that not being greedy at that time was the right choice. Baijiu breathed a sigh of relief.

But the old man deserved it. He was bitten back by the traffic and not only lost his life, but also will be infamous for eternity.

Suddenly Baijiu realized something, cleared his throat and asked.

"What do you think of Vodka?"

"Vodka?" Kil said slowly after a moment of silence.

"Some of the practices are quite 'cute', what's wrong? What's the purpose of asking this?" Kil raised his eyebrows and looked at the liquor.

"Vodka has recently been investigating the organization's opinion of him, and he decided to transform himself." Baijiu made up a reason to fool people.

"It's good to have ideas, but deep-rooted habits cannot be changed," Kil said meaningfully.

"Vodka, I really tried my best." Baijiu said to himself.

"Is this the place?" Baijiu parked the car in the parking space.

"That's right, just follow me."

Baijiu took out a pen and paper from the car and followed Kiel up the stairs impatiently, very excited.

Kiel said sweetly, knocking on the door.

"Ms. Asako, it's me, Rena Mizunashi. I came here today at your invitation."

"As expected of a host, your pronunciation is really standard."

"Peng!!"

The door was pushed open violently, and Kil reacted quickly and stepped back instantly.

"Ms. Asa...Ms. Asako, did something happen inside?" Kil looked into the house with shock.

Ms. Asako's yellow shirt was stained with blood and she looked at them with a horrified expression.

"There's a man! He suddenly broke in from the balcony, I..."

Before she finished speaking, she covered her chest with her hands, showing a painful expression and leaned in Gil's arms.

The sirens were getting louder and louder. Baijiu and Kil looked down and saw the warning lights flashing side by side downstairs.

"Have I also been entangled by this dirty thing? How did I get involved in a murder case again?!" Baijiu fell into self-doubt.

Two familiar faces appeared in front of Baijiu again at the stairwell.

"Brother Yi Yu, how come we meet again?" Inspector Megure smiled helplessly.

"Hey, isn't this the host, Rena Mizunashi, and comedian Asako-sensei? Mr. Ichiyo, you are here too." Takagi looked at them excitedly.

"We were invited by Ms. Chaozi to attend the party, and this happened." Baijiu spread his hands

"Let's go inside and talk about it."

Walking into the house, Baijiu saw some "Xanthium" hanging on a pair of shoes, which looked like Ms. Chaozi's.

The room became messy and a man wearing a zombie mask fell to the ground, his chest stained with blood.

A blood-stained knife fell to the side, with a few drops of blood on the wooden board, and a model gun was placed nearby.

There were also some "Xanthium sibiricum" stuck to the man's trouser legs.

There were some glass shards on the ground, and it looked like the person had been dead for some time.

"Can you tell me in detail what happened when you broke in, Ms. Asako?" Megure asked.

"Okay....because today is my birthday, I want to invite Mizunashi Reina, who has been very nice to me at the company and has been taking care of me recently, to have dinner together at 6 o'clock."

"You want to make a hamburger? What is this?" Chiba asked, pointing at the plate.

"That was fruit wine. I was going to use it to make dessert. I was cutting strawberries at that time."

"I suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking. Since my mailbox had been opened recently, someone was following me, and the lock of the entrance door was broken, I went to the bedroom with a knife."

"She can't vouch for me for these waters."

Kiel nodded silently.

"He was wearing a zombie mask and opened the doors and windows. He was holding a gun and holding my arm tightly with his left hand, repeating the same thing over and over again."

"Behave yourself! Otherwise I'll beat you to death!"

"I thought it was my ex-boyfriend Numata who came to take my life, so I resisted desperately out of fear, closing my eyes and stabbing him with a knife."

"When I realized I had killed someone, I immediately called the police, and they arrived shortly after." Miss Asako trembled.

"Who is Numata you are talking about?" Megure asked.

"Numata was my boyfriend when I first came to Tokyo about 17 years ago, but we broke up very quickly because he had a bad personality."

"After our "Strawberry Duo" won the crosstalk award, we gradually gained popularity."

"He would call me again and again to borrow money, and if I refused, he would make trouble for me."

"It's the trouble I mentioned above, picking the door lock, following, and searching the mailbox."

"Then I followed Rena Mizunashi's advice and changed the door lock to a type that is not easy to pry open."

Kiel nodded obediently.

"Ms. Asako, are the bruises on your arms caused by scratches from that man?" Baijiu asked curiously.

"Yes, that's what the man did." Asako was trembling all over, staring at the table in fear.

Kiel comforted Asako gently, calming her fear.

"Takagi, take off his mask."

Takagi put on gloves and carefully tore off the zombie mask, and everyone immediately showed a surprised expression.

A handsome man with his eyes closed and blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Jiro? !!!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

"Impossible!!! How could it be!!!"

"Jiro!!! Jiro!!!"

Asako broke free from Kiel, ran to him in excitement, knelt down and cried bitterly. The whole house was filled with Ms. Asako's cries of regret.

Baijiu looked at Chaozi meaningfully, with a slight smile on his lips.

Ms. Asako gradually calmed down and sat in a chair with a dull look in her eyes.

Kiel handed the towel to Ms. Asako and said with concern.

"It's better to apply ice." Kil said softly.

"Thank you, Mizunashi Reina, you're so kind."

Asako holds a towel over her hand over the bruise, and Shiraishu notices that the hand print on the bruise matches Asako's.

"Hmph." Baijiu chuckled.

"What happened, Asako!" A fat man in a suit and sweating profusely pushed open the door and said breathlessly.

"This is the manager of the Strawberry Duo, Mr. Koujiu."

"Suddenly a man broke in with a gun in his hand, and I defended myself desperately, but I didn't expect it to be..." Asako's tears flowed like a spring.

"Officer Megure, according to the communication records on the victim's cell phone, it seems that the victim called someone at 5:45 before entering the room." Takagi held the phone in front of Officer Megure.

"Very good, let's quickly confirm who this call is from," Megure said with his hands on his hips.
