Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

The next morning, outside the Metropolitan Police Department.

Liquor was waiting for Ireland and Belmode in the car.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a crisp knock on the glass, Baijiu unlocked the car, and Vermouth handed a thick stack of documents to Baijiu.

Vermouth took off her hood, and the fragrance filled the car.

"Let's go drink under the stars. I'm afraid walls have ears, so let's talk somewhere else." Vermouth said thoughtfully.

"Ireland is not coming?" Baijiu turned his head and looked at Vermouth.

Vermouth was seen wearing a small headset on her right ear, seemingly eavesdropping on something, with the corner of her mouth curled up in a smile.

"He has to stay in the Metropolitan Police Department all the time and can only come out at night. After all, the role he plays is very important. This can be considered as a test for him before he can join the team."

Vermouth said with a faint smile, as if every word had a hidden meaning.

15 minutes later, we drove to the Starry Sky Bar.

"I'll trouble you with the investigation of this case, the organization's great detective~" Vermouth picked up the lipstick and applied it to her lips.

Baijiu took the documents and looked through them carefully, his brain working rapidly.

Except for the sixth case, the common point of the first five cases is that they were all stabbed with large knives.

Judging from the shape of the wound, the murderer should have swung his right hand vigorously, and Baijiu simulated the criminal's movements.

“All five victims were first abducted with electric batons, then killed and their bodies were dumped at the location where their bodies were found.

But why would the criminal take the kidnapped victim to another place to commit the crime? Baijiu pondered in confusion.

And why should each of them take one personal item?

“Necklaces, drawstring bags, amulets, motorcycle keychains, makeup mirrors, and character dolls.”

Is there any meaning? The memory card should be in the drawstring bag, but the murderer should carry these things with him.

There were red circles painted next to the six bodies, and English letters and vertical black lines on the back of the mahjong tiles.

It's seven tubes. Now there are only four circles left at the upper right and lower left.

Since there are only two left, it means he will definitely continue to commit crimes.

The English alphabet includes two "A"s and "EHZ" and an upside-down L.

And the document I saw that day, the information of the sixth victim "Tanabata Kyo"?

Does July 7th mean Kyoto?

It's time for us to leave. The male suspect in the serial murder case may show up in the Mihua City Mall.

Vermouth got up from the sofa and walked out of the bar with the wine in her hand.

Baijiu sat in the driver's seat, and Baijiu and Vermouth's cell phones rang at the same time.

It seems that Vermouth is indeed eavesdropping on Ireland.

Photos came in from Ireland.

Vermouth, please read the message from Ireland for me, Baijiu was thinking while driving.

"Okay, White Sherlock Holmes wine." Vermouth cleared his throat and said.

"The 27-year-old man named "Xiao Shen" killed "Xiao Zhen" in "Zhuibingling". He was stabbed and seriously injured by "Xiao Shen" a year ago."

"Xiao Shen's motive for assassinating Xiao Zhen was that he was resentful of Xiao Zhen for asking him to put out his cigarette while waiting in line at the Tropical Paradise."

"'Queue'...? Got it! ! "Baijiu suddenly realized, and his eyes brightened instantly.

"Any idea?" Vermouth lifted her thigh and looked at the liquor with admiration.

"If I'm not mistaken, these people were once in the same team."

While waiting for the bus, Baijiu snatched the lipstick from Vermouth's hand and drew circles on the document with the lipstick.

"I remember there were two kinds of mahjong tiles left beside the victim. One was the "one bamboo" of "small formation" and the other was the "seven bamboo" of "others."

"If each person is placed in the red circle on their respective mahjong tiles, the victims may have lined up in this way before."

"Drip drip."

The sound of the horn behind and the look at the lipstick in his hand sobered Baijiu up immediately.

"Sorry, sorry, Vermouth, I was too engrossed just now." Baijiu said embarrassedly, not daring to look at her out of the corner of his eye.

“Sure enough, the state when solving a case is the same.” Vermouth covered her mouth and chuckled.

"But next I have to sneak in and find 'Xiao Shen' to see if he is the murderer."

Vermouth took out a mask and high heels from her bag, took off her shoes and put them in the liquor cart, put on bright high heels, and put the pistol into the shoes.

"If there are suspicious people or vehicles following you, do everything you can to get rid of them, don't follow me."

"It seems the FBI is still unwilling to give up and is planning to show up again. Don't let them find out that you are investigating this case."

"I understand. You can trust me when doing things. Nothing goes wrong." Baijiu said confidently.

Baijiu drove the car through the mall entrance and headed towards the underground parking lot.

On the way, I saw two familiar figures, Officer Megure and Officer Takagi getting out of the car.

Following behind them were a very beautiful female police officer, a man with a scar on his face, a man who looked very similar to Suneo, and a pair of twin police officers.

"Very efficient, they're here in no time." Baijiu said to himself.

Baijiu parked the car in the underground parking lot and waited for Vermouth.

【July 7th, Kyoto】Baijiu is typing on the phone

[Two years ago, on July 7, a fire broke out at the Vega Hotel in Kyoto, and two guests died unfortunately]

[The fire started because a resident on the fifth floor left a cigarette butt unextinguished, and the escape ladder was unusable]

[Another tenant on the sixth floor was choked to death by the thick smoke. Her name was "Nanako Motogami" and she lived in "Kamiyo, Mitaka City."]

"Maybe this is a breakthrough, maybe it's for revenge." Baijiu pondered.

"By the way, I remember that Kiel was on a mission in Kyoto."

"beep."

[Hello? What's up? - Kiel]

[Kiel, are you close to the Vega Hotel now? ——White Wine]

[I'm nearby, what's wrong? - Kiel]

[Great! Can you help me go in and see how many elevators there are and how many people they can carry? — Baijiu]

[Wait a moment, I'm on my way over - Kiel]

[One elevator can only hold 7 people. What's wrong with that? - Kiel]

"Buzz buzz buzz"

From the other side of the phone came the sound of an elevator overload warning.

[Let me go out——Kil]

[So that's how it is! I understand! Thank you, Kir! - White Wine]

On the day of the fire, "Nanako Motogami" was probably forced to leave the elevator she was already on.

"Because the 'eighth tenant' wanted to take the elevator, she was dragged out by force."

The eighth tenant should be Mr. "Xiao Zhen" from "Yi Tong".

The positions of the other six people should be inside the elevator, which are different red circles on the seven barrels.

The last one should be the position where Nanako originally stood.

That's right, the shape of the mahjong tiles themselves is box-shaped, just like an elevator.

The "black line" in the center of the back should mean the elevator door, but the alarm sounded when "Xiao Zhen" finally entered the elevator.

So he kicked the other person out of the elevator, and the weak "Nanako" became his target.

The other six people either pretended not to see it or were afraid that they would be kicked off the elevator, so they acquiesced to Xiao Zhen's behavior.

Nanako, who didn't take the elevator, probably died before she could escape.

Now we just need to wait to confirm whether the list of people on the list of victims in the fire that day overlaps with these victims. Baijiu showed his signature confident smile.

“I am a genius!!”

After some time, Vermouth came out of the exit and sat in the liquor truck.

"Send me home, he is not a criminal." Vermouth lit a cigarette.

"Why is there a scratch on your face?" Baijiu asked in confusion, checking the wound attentively.

Baijiu stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the exit, when he suddenly saw an elementary school student through the rearview mirror.

Conan? Doesn't he go to school? Is he also investigating this incident? Baijiu asked in his heart with doubt.

Could it be that Vermouth didn't let Baijiu show up or disguise herself because she knew Conan was investigating the matter?

Is it to protect Conan? Or to protect me? Or is it just -

Did they deliberately let Ireland touch the "magic box" so as to get rid of him? Baijiu recalled the recent disputes in the organization.

"You mean knife marks? I got scratched when I was a hostage, but luckily I wasn't injured."

"Do you have any idea now? Liquor?"

"It's almost there, just one last step left." Baijiu said firmly.

"That's good. I have some good news too. I heard from a note."

"A painter named "Xiao Tang" called and said she knew the murderer of the serial murders." Vermouth fixed her hair.

"Where is she?" Baijiu asked anxiously.

"I've already sent Gin and the others to intercept it. The location is in Hachioji City. You can continue to investigate behind the scenes, but I feel that it is possible--"

"It's all in vain. It's absolutely true that Xiao Tang may have been killed."

Baijiu interrupted Vermouth and spoke with a firm look.
