Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Beika-cho, a high-end banquet venue.

The staff turned off the ordinary lights to highlight the leader's unique status under the spotlight.

Member of Parliament, Masao Takada, is a senior figure in the Neon government who holds real power. A single word from him can influence market stock price changes.

Most of the people who attended the banquet came to curry favor with the congressmen, but there were exceptions.

For example, in the dark, Maori Kogoro was busy bragging to Conan and Xiaolan:

"But I was recognized and asked to do work just for a meal. Being a celebrity is really troublesome. Who made me a famous detective?"

About ten minutes ago, Kogoro was commissioned by a president who was also attending the banquet. His mission was to protect the other party's safety and find the bastard who wrote the threatening letter.

In recent days, President Ishimoto has received a series of horrifying letters of commission, which say that the president must be killed.

President Ishimoto, who is rich and afraid of death, promised Maori that he would give the detective a large commission after the incident was solved.

But for Kogoro, the commission fee is actually secondary.

[Hehe, Secretary Tanaka is really youthful and charming]

[Is she dating someone?]

[Maybe I can have a second chance at protecting the president.]

Sachiko Tanaka is Ishimoto's secretary, and she is somewhat similar to the young Eri Kisaki.

When discussing the commission, Mao Li's eyes were fixed on the female secretary, unwilling to move for even a second.

Xiaolan sighed helplessly at her father's lecherous look. Even if she felt dissatisfied, she couldn't show it in such a formal occasion.

Conan complained in his heart:

[Uncle Se, it’s all my credit that you can become a famous detective]

It was Congressman Takata's turn to speak on stage, with his tall secretary leading the way.

The only spotlight on the scene moved with it, allowing the members of Congress to be permanently bathed in light.

On the way to the stage, the presidents of various companies could not help but flatter the congressmen.

Ishimoto, who hired Kogoro Mori, was no exception after receiving death threats.

The big boss was about to pass by, and President Ishimoto hurried to meet him:

"Congressman Takata, the economic policies you support will surely lead Li Ben..."

Before he could finish his words, a gunshot rang out in the darkness.

Ishimoto felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, but that was all.

Because the bullet only grazed Ishimoto's shoulder, and the next moment it penetrated into Congressman Takata's chest!

The next second, the congressman fell straight to the ground, and the congressman's secretary who was in charge of leading the way rushed over to check the situation.

After hearing the gunshots, the venue staff immediately turned on other lights, and the venue was restored to light. The guests belatedly realized that a shooting had occurred.

A lady was the first to scream, and then most of the guests ran out of the venue in fear.

Kogoro walked through the crowd to check the situation and confirmed that the congressman died on the spot.

Five minutes later, the police arrived.

……

Two hours later, Lin Xuan received a call from Sato, and Police Liben asked the savior to help solve the case again.

In a patrol car, Inspector Megure personally explained the circumstances of the shooting to Lin Xuan and that the Mori family was also at the scene at the time.

The police initially determined that the murderer was the person who sent the threatening letter. He wanted to kill President Ishimoto but accidentally killed Congressman Takata.

[As expected of a Death God Elementary School Student, he dies wherever he goes]

At the same time, Lin Xuan felt a little puzzled:

"The police can find clues by checking the types of bullets. They don't need my help."

[These useless Japanese police officers, can't they investigate the case that just happened a few hours ago themselves? ]

[Leave all the cases to me, what use are you guys? ]

As long as you can solve the case before Conan, you will receive a system reward, so Lin Xuan was willing to help the police before.

But Lin Xuan is not Kudo Shinichi or Hattori Heiji, a mystery fanatic who would abandon his childhood sweetheart in order to solve a case.

The premise for Lin Xuan to help is that there must be benefits, and he must not let the case affect his life.

Inspector Megure sighed:

"Brother Lin Xuan, the Metropolitan Police Department is under great pressure in this case. Councillor Takada is quite influential in the ruling party. Our superiors have given us three days to solve the case."

Sato took over and said:

"President Ishimoto doesn't trust us. He doesn't cooperate with the police investigation at all. The president only asked Mr. Maori to protect his safety."

"Lin Xuan, I think your reasoning ability is better than Mr. Maori's. The Metropolitan Police Department has limited time, so please help me this time."

Lin Xuan could hear their thoughts. He understood that the police officer did not take him as a scapegoat, but this case was really special.

If the case is not solved quickly, politicians in the same camp as the congressman will make things difficult for the Metropolitan Police Department, and Megure Sato and other investigators will be affected.

[In that case, why not let them owe me another favor?]

Lin Xuan put forward his own request:

"I can help you with the investigation, but there is a condition. Officer Sato, please give me half of your vacation time in the next year."

The criminal policeman, who was always quick and decisive, felt his cheeks turn red after hearing this:

[Time is so tight, and you still want to joke with me? ]

[If you want me to accompany you, you can ask me in private. Why are you bringing this up in front of Inspector Megure?]

Megure originally planned to bring Sato and Lin Xuan together. When he heard Lin Xuan's request, the inspector quickly said:

"Sato, in order to solve the case as quickly as possible, you should agree to Brother Lin Xuan's request."

Sato was actually very happy to be able to spend more time with Lin Xuan, but she still had to be tough:

"Since Inspector Megure has said so, I have no choice but to agree to this rude request."

In front of Inspector Megure, Lin Xuan did not expose her.

After all, as long as this case is solved, Lin Xuan will have plenty of time to tease the cold policewoman in front of him.

At the same time, Kogoro Mouri was praised highly by the young and lovely secretary.

Although the president escaped, he was admitted to a high-end hospital due to a shoulder abrasion.

The president had an inexplicable hostility towards the police and therefore refused the protection of the police. He only hired the famous detective Mouri Kogoro to protect himself.

The murderer who attempted to kill the client is still at large, and Mao Li should have been on high alert to protect President Ishimoto.

[The beer was brought by Secretary Tanaka. It would be disrespectful to this beautiful lady if we don’t drink it.]

Kogoro finally picked up the beer on the table and said to Tanaka in front of him:

"One can, you can only drink one can. After all, I still have to protect the president tonight."

Secretary Tanaka is like a little fangirl, she is still praising Kogoro:

"As expected of a famous detective! Even his drinking posture is so unique!"

"I've heard of Mr. Maori's name a long time ago. He's even more manly than he is on TV shows."

However, when Kogoro finished the can of beer, collapsed on the sofa and began snoring, the smile on the secretary's face disappeared without a trace.

[What famous detective? He is just a scumbag in name only.]
