"Cool guy..."
In the dark hall, the beam of light from the projector reflected on the screen, dimly illuminating Conan's face.
While Conan was in a daze, Chrissie Wynyard squatted down with a glass of red wine, not caring about the hand that was touching her thigh...
If it were someone else, Vermouth would definitely slap him.
But who could blame her for the fact that the owner of the lewd hand was her "godson"?
Conan retracted his hand in dismay, and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Godmother, you are blocking my view of the slides..."
"Isn't my godmother more beautiful than the slides?"
Vermouth showed no intention of giving way, and even teased Conan and Hattori Heiji:
"You two are inseparable..."
"Where's Xiaolan?"
"ah....."
After a long pause, Conan said:
"Xiao Lan is at home."
He has never been sure of his godmother's thoughts.
If you say that Vermouth was not kind to him, then that would be too heartless.
But if you say Vermouth is good to him...
I always feel like something is wrong.
Conan also asked his mother about Sharon and her daughter, but...
Yukiko Kudo made up an excuse to get away with it and was unwilling to talk about the past.
This left Conan confused.
Now that I think about it...
During the billion-dollar robbery, my godmother also appeared inexplicably in the bank...
Could it be...
Is she connected to the Black Organization?
Snap!
Just as Conan was thinking about it, there was a loud crisp sound in the hall, like glass being broken by a child with a stone.
"What's that sound?"
"Something fell!"
The guests were noisy, and some who were closer could hear more clearly:
"It looks like the ceiling light has fallen down!"
"Turn on the other lights in the hall!"
Snap!
The waiter pressed the switch on the wall, and the hall was immediately brightly lit.
Everyone looked over and found that it was indeed the ceiling light that had fallen, and...
Below, there was a pool of bright red blood that was slowly spreading.
"Someone was hit!"
“Call an ambulance!”
"OMG! What's Happened!"
Chrissie Wynyard looked at this scene in shock and was so frightened that she couldn't speak English.
She hugged Conan who was about to rush forward and said fearfully:
"Cool guy, it's too dangerous there, you can't go there!"
"Oh, godmother, please let me go, I'm fine, saving people is more important!"
Conan kicked his calves, trying to break free from Chris Wynyard's arms, but the more he struggled, the tighter she held him and refused to let go.
Sakaki Makoto, who was not far away, saw this scene and felt a little amused.
She is truly worthy of being an Oscar winner; that look of fear on her face seemed to come from the heart and was genuine.
Especially when she subconsciously hugged Conan...
Not only did it further demonstrate her chaotic state of mind after seeing the tragedy, it also took the opportunity to show that she was a "good worker".
This acting...
It's not common.
"Get out of the way!"
Megure Juzo squeezed out of the crowd and came to the shattered ceiling light.
He looked solemn and waved his hand. Detectives such as Takagi Shigeru behind him immediately stepped forward, carefully lifted the ceiling light and moved aside.
After the ceiling light was removed...
A dead body with its eyes open appeared before everyone's eyes. It was none other than the councilman Tunkou Shigehiko.
Wow!
The guests suddenly lost their composure and they crowded together to leave the hall. For a moment, the order was chaotic and there was no pattern at all.
"Quiet!!!"
A loud roar stunned them.
Megure Jusan looked gloomy as he checked Tsuguchi Shigehiko's breathing and pulse, and the result was as expected...
"No, he died on the spot."
That's true. The ceiling light weighs hundreds of pounds. If it falls from the ceiling, the human body will not be able to withstand it.
Except for Kyogoku Makoto.
"Takagi!"
Megure Jusan ordered:
"Report this to headquarters, seal off the hall, and no one is allowed to leave!"
"yes!"
"Brother Sakaki Makoto? Where is Brother Sakaki Makoto?"
Seeing that it was time for him to take action, Sakaki Makoto pushed his sunglasses down, threw the camera back to the reporter, and walked over:
"I'm here."
"Brother Sakaki Makoto, a murder has occurred."
Megure Jusan said seriously:
"Please investigate the scene."
"No problem, leave it to me."
This is the purpose of Makoto Sakaki's visit today, so he naturally would not refuse.
Wearing black leather gloves, Makoto Sakaki bent down and pretended to examine it.
He knew very well that there was nothing to check.
Shigehiko Tsunoguchi must have been hit to death by a heavy object.
otherwise...
How to disguise it as an isolated case?
Having said that, the process still needs to be completed.
Just as Sakaki Makoto was examining the body, Megure Juzo also led his men to interrogate the guests who were standing near Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi at the time of the crime.
The first person the police noticed was a professor at the University of Tokyo, Tawara Yoshiharu.
The professor from the University of Tokyo covered his arm with his hands. When the ceiling light fell, the protruding edge scratched his arm.
"Mr. Tawara, did you have any conversation with the deceased at the time of the incident?"
"I was looking at a slide show, how could I have time to talk to someone?"
Tawara Yoshiharu shook his head:
"If you don't believe it, you can ask other people around you."
