Chapter 304
Inspector Megure is downstairs; it will take him a while to come up after receiving the message.
Kogoro Mouri expertly took charge of the scene: "Where's the doctor? Come check on the person right away, and everyone here is a suspect..."
Just as things were about to settle into the usual routine, Conan Edogawa couldn't help but interject: "Um, since President Tokiwa didn't die this time, it should be easy to find out who the culprit is, right? The police officers seem to know something about it too."
Kogoro Mouri's remaining words caught in his throat: "…………"
Shiratori Ninzaburo also felt this was an opportunity for the police to prove their capabilities: "Yes, in fact, our police already know who the murderer is and came here specifically to stop him."
After saying that, he glanced at President Tokiwa, who had lost consciousness.
Uh... Although she was able to call for help just now, after knowing that someone was coming to rescue her, President Tokiwa seemed to have used up her last bit of strength and fell into a coma. Now she definitely can't identify the murderer.
Now that he knew who the culprit was, Shiratori Ninzaburo felt there was no need to waste time talking to him, so he turned to look at Samikawa Shinryu.
So, before President Tokiwa wakes up, have you found any evidence that can be used to arrest the prisoner? Otherwise, everyone is wasting time here, which doesn't seem like a good thing.
Despite Shiratori Ninzaburo's suggestive gaze, Senkawa Shinryu remained unmoved.
Shiratori Rensaburo: "...Hankawa?"
Han Chuan Shenliu glanced at him and made a zipping motion.
Conan Edogawa translates simultaneously: "Officer Shiratori, you just told Mr. Kankawa not to speak."
...That's what they say, but they're still pretending to be mute because of what Officer Shiratori said. Couldn't Mr. Hanakawa have chosen a more normal occasion for this kind of weird sense of humor?
They really can't distinguish between what's important and what's not!
However, this kind of personality is more like what a member of an organization should have. Members of such organizations probably only care about their own ideas and don't care about worldly opinions.
After realizing what had happened, Shiratori Renzaburo was speechless: "Kankawa... I misspoke. Tell me what you're thinking."
Han Chuan Shenliu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Master Ruyue.
Master Ruyue, leaning on his cane, met those dark red eyes and took a step back as if stung.
...That policeman named Shiratori was also looking in his direction the whole time. Did the police discover something? That's why they stopped him so conveniently...
But that's all he can do.
After all, he had switched Tokiwa Mio's necklace. Just like the child said, Tokiwa Mio is not dead now, and she will definitely be able to identify him when she wakes up. There is no point in refuting it.
He was quite surprised to learn that the man who looked like a demon was also a policeman.
Master Ruyue tapped her cane and coldly admitted, "Now that things have come to this, there's no point in making excuses. I did it."
Kogoro Mouri was taken aback.
The person who almost died was his junior, who is still unconscious. It is unknown whether the brief lack of oxygen to the brain will cause sequelae. He cannot ask her in person, but among so many people present, he is the most qualified to ask on her behalf.
"Why?! She respects you so much, aren't you her teacher?!"
Master Kisaragi's face was grim: "At the edge of Nishitama City, I discovered a small hill..."
This rhythm is familiar to everyone: the criminal begins to recall, and once the recall ends, everyone will understand his motive for murder.
Hankawa Shinryu wanted to say something, but Shiratori Renzaburo tugged at his arm, begging him to shut up.
Shiratori Ninzaburo really understands Sukikawa Shinryu.
Han Chuan Shenliu has never liked such long-winded explanations. Knowing the prisoner's thoughts, he will most likely interrupt the prisoner's emotionally charged memories and summarize them simply with ruthless and concise words.
This summary is usually dry and leaves the audience feeling like, "That's it? They actually killed someone because of this?"
This led to a prisoner who, because of Hanchuan Shenliu's disrespectful behavior, burst into tears. While being handcuffed and taken away, he complained, "I just wanted everyone to know how I feel! Why won't you even give me this chance! That kind of summary makes it impossible for anyone to understand me! In the end, I was completely taken for being unreasonable!"
That's so tragic.
Considering Master Ruyue's advanced age and inability to withstand stimulation, let's ask Hanchuan Shenliu to give us some face!
However, as Master Kisaragi continued his narration, Shiratori Ninzaburo's expression gradually became subtle.
"...This twin skyscraper has cut Mount Fuji in two! I can no longer see Mount Fuji from my favorite angle! This building has ruined Mount Fuji!"
Shiratori Renzaburo gasped and whispered to Hanakawa Shinryu, "It really is just as you said. How did you guess it?"
Hanchuan Shenliu: "That small wine glass looks like Mount Fuji. The fact that it shattered is an indication of his motive for murder. Among the suspects is a painter who likes to paint Mount Fuji. It's obvious who the murderer is."
Shiratori Ninzaburo: "..."
Standing next to Shiratori Ninzaburo, Conan Edogawa, who overheard these words, was speechless.
No, this has absolutely nothing to do with being clear at a glance!
Conan Edogawa also looked at the police files along with Kogoro Mouri. No matter how he looked at them, he couldn't have come to such a conclusion at the time. Now, by working backward, he suddenly realized what was going on.
This kind of understanding of a criminal's thought process too well can sometimes make you feel just as perverted as the criminal... Conan Edogawa thinks that it's no wonder Ai Haibara feels that Mr. Samikawa is dangerous; he might just be someone with a lot of dangerous thoughts.
Some people can control themselves, some can't; he hoped that Han Chuan Shenliu was the former.
Just as Inspector Megure arrived, Master Kisaragi had finished recounting his life story, and Shiratori Ninzaburo handcuffed him.
"I'm sorry to have caused everyone trouble." As soon as Inspector Megure entered the banquet hall, seeing the bustling crowd discussing the case, he knew the banquet was over. He hoped that President Tokiwa wouldn't complain about them out of consideration for saving his life. "Master Kisaragi, please."
Master Kisaragi nodded, seemingly undeterred by the defeat.
Looking at his unrepentant face, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but say, "Even if you kill them, Mount Fuji will still be blocked by this building!"
“I know, of course I know…” Master Kisaragi said, “I just…can’t accept…that I can no longer see the complete and beautiful Mount Fuji from my window…”
Han Chuan Shenliu: "Not necessarily. What if this building gets bombed one day?"
Everyone: "…………"
Shiratori Ninzaburo forced a smile as he tried to salvage the atmosphere: "He meant that, after all, bombings are quite common in Tokyo..."
No, he couldn't continue. There were so many bombings in Tokyo; it wouldn't sound good for the police to talk about it!
As a result, Master Ruyue actually laughed.
He gave Han Chuan Shenliu a deep look: "Then I'll take your kind words."
Others: "…………"
Inspector Megure's smile was even more strained than Shiratori Ninzaburo's: "Well, we won't bother you any longer, that's all..."
Before the words were finished, a strong tremor suddenly ran under everyone's feet, and then all the lights suddenly went out.
"earthquake?!"
In the midst of the panic, someone called to inquire about the situation: "What? An explosion? The generator room and power generation room on the fourth basement level, as well as the computer room on the 40th floor, all exploded?!"
The president's secretary was horrified: "Tokiwa Group's main computer is there! All the important data is there! If it's bombed, it will all be gone!"
That wasn't all; the security guard continued reporting on the other end of the phone: "There's also a fire on the 40th floor! Please evacuate immediately!"
Master Ruyue, who hadn't yet been taken away, stared in disbelief: "It actually... it really exploded..."
Conan Edogawa was also surprised.
This scale! And the fact that they were targeting the main computer! The one who planted the bomb was definitely someone from the Black Organization!
But if you put it that way...
After the shaking stopped, those who had heard Hanchuan Shenliu's speech all looked at him in shock.
Han Chuan Shenliu still appeared cold and indifferent, his expression unchanging no matter what happened.
In the darkness, illuminated only by moonlight, he possessed an indescribable eerie quality.
Hanchuan Shenliu said calmly, "I already warned you."
The others: "...?!?!?!?!"
—What kind of shady statement is this?!
