Filled with anticipation and a touch of doubt, Conan embarked on his journey to the International Detective Conference. The conference was held in a bustling international metropolis, bringing together top detectives from all over the world.
Upon arriving at his destination, Conan checked into the designated hotel. In the hotel lobby, he bumped into several other well-known detectives who were also attending the seminar.
"You're Conan? I've heard so much about you!" a detective from France greeted him warmly.
Conan smiled somewhat shyly: "You flatter me. I feel honored to participate in this seminar with all of you seniors."
Everyone exchanged ideas and expressed their anticipation for the upcoming seminar.
On the first day of the seminar, the organizers arranged a series of engaging lectures and case studies. Conan listened attentively, occasionally jotting down important information in his notebook.
In the afternoon, it was time for group discussions. Conan's group was discussing a transnational jewelry theft case.
“I think we should start by investigating where the stolen jewelry went,” one detective suggested.
After thinking for a moment, Conan said, "But we also need to consider the modus operandi of the theft gang and the possibility of insider assistance."
Everyone shared their opinions, and the discussion was very lively.
That evening, a welcome dinner was held. Conan made more detective friends at the dinner, and they exchanged their experiences and insights in solving cases.
However, halfway through the dinner, something unexpected happened.
The hotel's electrical system suddenly malfunctioned, plunging the entire banquet hall into darkness.
"Don't panic, everyone!" someone shouted.
Conan remained calm in the darkness, sensing that something was amiss.
Just then, a scream rang out: "Someone is dead!"
The lights came back on, and a detective who had attended the meeting was lying in a pool of blood.
The scene immediately descended into chaos, and Conan rushed forward to check on the situation.
"Don't disturb the scene!" he shouted.
The other detectives also gathered around.
Preliminary examination revealed that the deceased died from being stabbed in a vital area by a sharp object.
"This is a murder case!" Conan said.
Hotel security and police arrived quickly and cordoned off the scene.
The police questioned those present, and Conan also provided the police with his findings and analysis.
“I think the murderer is among the people who attended the seminar,” Conan said.
Other detectives also shared their opinions and speculations.
Over the next few days, Conan and the other detectives conducted an in-depth investigation into the case.
They carefully studied the deceased's background and relationships, and investigated every detail of the crime scene.
During the investigation, Conan discovers some important clues. The deceased seems to have possessed a crucial secret, which may be related to an unsolved international crime case.
"Could it be because of this secret that he was murdered?" Conan pondered.
Meanwhile, the culprit also seems to be secretly observing Conan and his friends' actions, trying to interfere with their investigation.
On one occasion, Conan found a threatening letter in his room: "Don't investigate any further, or you'll regret it!"
Conan was not intimidated by the threats; instead, he became even more determined to uncover the truth.
He and the other detectives continued their efforts and gradually identified several suspects.
During the further investigation and interrogation of the suspect, Conan, relying on his keen observation and logical reasoning abilities, finally found the key evidence in the case.
"So it was you!" Conan said, pointing to one of the suspects.
The suspect turned pale and tried to deny it, but faced with irrefutable evidence, he finally confessed to his crime.
It turns out that the suspect was a member of an international criminal organization, and the deceased possessed crucial evidence of their crimes. To silence him, he carried out the murder at the seminar.
The case was successfully solved, and Conan's outstanding talent, displayed at this international detective seminar, once again impressed everyone.
After the seminar, Conan returned to his hometown with a wealth of knowledge.
However, what he didn't know was that a new challenge awaited him...
