Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

"So this is not a safe time?"

In the cafe, several people sitting opposite Judy frowned at the same time.

"Yes, the school has received a report that female students at Teitan High School have been frequently harassed by perverts on trains and buses. They are troubled." Judy frowned, looking worried. "So if you encounter the same incident, please inform the school immediately."

"How come Sonoko and I have never encountered this before?" Mao Lilan recalled and then turned her gaze to Yin Jiu.

"I'm a boy, and I usually go out with Brother Tou, so it's not easy for me to run into this kind of thing." Yin Jiu blinked in confusion, "If the other party does something excessive, Brother Tou should stop him, right?"

"Oh! A personal bodyguard?" Judy folded her fingers under her chin and said noncommittally, "But it's better to be careful. Maybe that person will pretend to be someone you know, sneak around your house, and wait for an opportunity to strike when no one is around..."

"It sounds... a little scary." Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her arms with her arms folded, and quickly became optimistic, "But if there really is such a person, he will definitely be caught by the guards near my house."

"Okay," Judy shrugged, "If you see anyone like that, please call me right away."

"Call you? Shouldn't they just call the police?" Yin Jiu had already observed the surroundings and pretended to be curious and started chatting.

"That's because Japan doesn't seem to take stalkers seriously at all." Judy smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "If you had told me, I would have taught him a lesson the American way!"

"Is it a passionate sweeping method?" Yin Jiu couldn't help but blurted out subconsciously.

"Puff! Cough cough cough cough!" Suzuki Sonoko's Coke sprayed out from both nostrils.

"Sister Sonoko, paper!" Conan handed over a tissue very tactfully, with the corners of his mouth twitching.

"No, no way?" Mao Lilan also had small eyes.

"How is that possible? I just want to beat the guy up, hahaha." There was no way Judy could admit her true thoughts and quickly waved her hand to interrupt.

The topic seemed to have reached a stalemate, but something unexpected happened suddenly.

"What? There's a weird guy hiding over there waiting for you?" The middle-aged man with his hair combed back suddenly stood up anxiously from his seat, holding his phone and yelling, "Where are you now?... I, I know! I'll pay three times! No, four times the money, so come here quickly and bring the guy's name and evidence."

... Blackmail? Or fraud?

The embarrassed people at the table subconsciously turned their eyes away, and at this moment they found their destination at the same time.

Especially when Conan heard this, his entire upper body uncontrollably leaned out of the seat.

"Clap!"

The light in the store suddenly dimmed, and several men who looked like FBI agents were shocked and almost stood up from their seats.

"The power is out?" Yin Jiu looked around in confusion, memorizing the faces of all the guests who were suspected to be from the FBI.

"No, the lights in the corridor outside are still on." The lights in the cafe went out, and the lights outside the mall corridor became brighter. Mao Lilan noticed the situation outside at a glance.

"It seems like something happened outside, a lot of people are gathered there."

The coffee shop's emergency repairs were timely, and the light was restored inside while they were talking.

Yin Jiu subconsciously blocked the light with his hand, but Conan had already rushed out.

"Mr. Maori, please call the police and an ambulance as soon as possible." Judy's attention had been scattered all around. Now, looking through the crowd, she could only vaguely see a man leaning against the end of the elevator with a little blood on his body.

-

"The deceased is Mr. Katsunori Nakajo, 43 years old. The fatal wound is in the abdomen. He is a detective..." Officer Megure checked the information and squatted beside the deceased. "It's really puzzling that such a strange mark was left behind."

'○x△'?

Yin Jiu was first choked by the strong smell of blood, but when he saw the familiar pattern, he quickly recalled the plot of the comic.

"Hey, Brother Yinjiu. Do you really not know what 'x' means?" Conan had just asked Officer Takagi, but was rejected with the excuse that "there's no need for a child to know". He had no choice but to turn his attention to the younger brother who also looked young.

"Yeah, I know a little bit." Yin Jiu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he nodded hesitantly.

"What does that mean?" Conan was puzzled and had to ask in a flattering manner.

"You'll understand this kind of thing when you fall in love in the future." Yin Jiu showed an appropriate expression, as if not leading a child astray.

Conan: “…” Why is what each one says more mysterious than the other?

Conan stood there full of doubts, reluctant to leave, but the police discovered a new clue.

"It seems that the deceased was talking to someone on the phone before his death." Takagi took out the phone from Nakajo's pocket and called the other police officers forward, "Shall I call back and try?"

The phone soon rang in the pocket of the man with the slicked-back hair.

"Is it him?" Conan quickly recognized that this was the man who had been on the phone, and his eyes immediately swept over him like a searchlight.

"It's not him. He's in a position where he couldn't have committed a crime in such a short time." Yin Jiu saw the man being immediately held down by the police, and spoke softly, signaling Conan to look away.

"Indeed, it is not. The deceased was obviously pierced through the abdomen with a kitchen knife, and then fell on the escalator and was transported up from downstairs." Officer Gao Mu came back from taking pictures and just heard Yin Jiu's analysis. He subconsciously stopped and used his fingers to follow the trajectory of the blood to simulate the route. "So the first crime scene should be at the elevator entrance downstairs. We are just taking people there for routine inquiries."

"So the murderer might actually be the person that man was investigating." Yin Jiu blinked, "He was talking to the person on the phone at the time, and his voice was very loud. We all heard it."

"Basically, the man seemed to have commissioned the deceased to investigate someone, and then the two of them had a disagreement on the price. But the main reason was that the deceased kept claiming that he was being followed by a stranger, in order to raise the price."

"So the murderer could be the employee that Laisheng Fanjiu is investigating?"

While Yin Jiu was talking to Takagi, Officer Megure had already finished asking about the general situation and now came over with his men and stood in the middle of the crowd.

"This is from Nakajo. It's a list of suspects who embezzled public funds from his company. The murderer is likely on it." Officer Megure handed the list to Takagi, "Takagi, go check their alibis."

"Yes."
