The center of the venue.
After Inspector Megure returned from Hanyu Kusunoki's place, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders and instantly relaxed.
He first raised his hand to Officer Takagi and said in a loud voice, "Takagi, gather all the guests together."
Then, he cleared his throat and raised his voice to announce, "Everyone, I apologize for the inconvenience caused today. You may all go home now."
As for the reporter who took the crucial photo and Kenzo Masuyama, Inspector Megure also did not stop them from leaving.
Since they already know the truth from Yuzuru Hanyu, even if the reporters publish the photos tomorrow, the police don't need to worry about being put in a passive position.
Most importantly, he was doing what Yuzuru Hanyu had instructed.
"Inspector Megure! Wait a minute!"
Conan and Heiji Hattori rushed forward, stopping Inspector Megure from releasing the man. "We've found crucial evidence! The chandelier was broken by a gunshot! This wasn't an accident!"
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure's face darkened, and his previously kind expression turned serious and cold: "Young men, please do not obstruct the police investigation."
"But..."
"No buts!" Inspector Megure waved his hand, and several officers immediately stepped forward to separate the two. "Takagi, take these two young detectives out for some fresh air."
Heiji Hattori could hardly believe his ears: "Inspector Megure! You were just..."
Just half an hour ago, Inspector Megure had affectionately called him "Brother Hattori" and asked him to help solve the case, but now he seemed like a completely different person, ignoring their discovery entirely.
Even a change of expression can't happen this fast!
“Hattori…” Conan reached out and pulled Hattori Heiji back, who was about to continue arguing. He lowered his voice and said with a serious expression, “Something’s not right. Inspector Megure’s change in attitude is too strange.”
Heiji Hattori seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly turned his head to look at the corner of the venue—where he saw Nanami Hanyu sitting leisurely on the sofa, surrounded by several beautiful women. He held a glass of red wine in his hand, gently swirling it, with a faint smile on his face, looking completely at ease.
"It's him again..."
Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth, "It must have been him!"
Conan followed Heiji Hattori's gaze and glanced at his mother, who was affectionately holding onto Nanami Hanyu's arm. His brow twitched involuntarily.
But he didn't have time to worry about that now; the most urgent thing was to stop the killer from escaping. "This is not the time to discuss this! We must stop Pisco from escaping!"
However, it was too late.
Kenzo Masuyama had already blended into the crowd and left the venue.
...
In the warehouse next to the hotel.
Pisco, having completed his mission, is packing up his equipment here.
Suddenly, a slight noise came from behind the shelf, and two figures slowly walked out. Pisco instinctively drew his gun, but when he saw that it was Gin and Vodka, his tense nerves relaxed a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the last task, and it can't go wrong.
"Is the mission complete?" Gin asked coldly.
Pisco forced a calm expression: "Of course, that traitor is already..."
“Idiot.” Gin interrupted him, holding up his phone. The screen showed the photo the reporter had secretly taken—clearly capturing Pisco shooting at the chandelier.
“This…this is impossible!” Piske’s face turned deathly pale instantly.
Gin sneered: "The organization doesn't need trash, especially trash that leaves evidence."
“Wait! I can explain…” Pisco tried to explain, but saw Gin had already pulled out his pistol.
Gin might still hesitate to kill the traitor within his ranks.
But when it comes to killing his own people, he's quick to act and gets what he wants; if you're slow, you get nothing.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
Piske's eyes widened as he slowly fell to the ground.
A loyal member who had worked diligently for the organization for half his life ultimately did not live to see the day of retirement and collapsed in this cold warehouse.
Gin holstered his gun, his eyes coldly fixed on Pisk, who lay dead on the ground with his eyes wide open. He snorted coldly, then turned to Vodka and ordered, "Destroy the scene."
Vodka nodded immediately and began to act.
Gin, on the other hand, walked to Pisco's computer, turned it on, and prepared to destroy information about the organization to ensure that no hidden dangers remained.
Meanwhile, Hattori Heiji, who had just chased after Pisco from the banquet hall in search of him, bumped into Hanyu Kusunoki and his group as they leisurely walked out of a side door in the corridor.
"Hey! Have you seen anyone suspicious?"
Hattori asked eagerly.
"Suspicious people?" Yukiko blinked. "Aren't all the people in the banquet hall suspicious?"
Hattori Heiji: "..."
What you said makes so much sense that he couldn't refute it.
Conan also chased after them, his eyes narrowing when he saw Yuzuru Hanyu: "Yuzuru Hanyu, you..."
"Oh dear, the little detectives have encountered another case?" Yuzuru interrupted him with a smile. "You're really working hard~"
Conan had a feeling that Hanyu Nan knew something, but now was clearly not the time to ask. He exchanged a glance with Hattori and went back to investigating the culprit.
"Wow, you're so energetic!"
As the two figures walked away, Sister Bei chuckled softly.
Yukiko sighed, "This child is hopeless..."
Yu Sheng Nan put his arm around the shoulders of the two beauties: "Come on, my dear sisters, I'll take you to see a great show~"
"What big show?"
Yukiko's eyes lit up, and she forgot about her son for a second.
Yuzuru smiled slightly: "The Secrets That Detectives, Organizations, and Monsters Have to Tell".
He had already written the script and was just waiting for the actors to arrive.
...
Therefore, Conan truly deserves to be the protagonist of the famous Detective Conan series.
Originally, due to someone's interference, Pisco had already left the scene by blending into the crowd immediately after completing the mission, and Conan was about to miss this excellent opportunity to meet the organization head-on.
However, fate always likes to give people a glimmer of hope in desperate situations.
Just as the two detectives rushed downstairs in a panic, Conan's gaze inadvertently fell on the familiar old car next to the warehouse.
When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you.
Even if we can't catch Pisco, catching Gin would be a huge gain!
"Hattori..."
Conan couldn't contain his excitement.
Heiji Hattori understood immediately and ran to retrieve the training sword he had brought from his motorcycle.
However, this time they learned their lesson and, to prevent any accidents and avoid Gin escaping again, Hattori Heiji even pulled out a Kamen Rider mask from the motorcycle's storage compartment.
After completing their preparations, the two best buddies exchanged a glance and walked confidently toward the warehouse.
And in places they can't see.
As the night breeze blew by, a tall figure floated silently in the air.
