In the dark banquet hall.
The beam of light from the spotlight hit a middle-aged man in a suit.
Well...how should I put it...
Councillor Takada is really unique... Not to mention his appearance, he has a small head and a wide chin, and his whole face is like an oval potato.
What's even more magical is his hairstyle. He is basically bald. As for why it is basically bald, it is because he has a tuft of "comma" shaped hair on his forehead.
It's really just a small bunch, hanging down in the center of the brow.
Tang Ze said that he had never seen such unique hair before. It was so stylish...
"Come on, Senator, this way."
Accompanied by the applause of the crowd, the man in his thirties who had been discussed by Tang Ze and others before made a gesture to lead the way next to Councillor Takada.
"Amazing! You guessed it right." Ayako said in surprise, looking at the man with glasses next to Councilman Takada. "He really is the councilman's secretary, just as Tang Zejun said!"
"But the banquet organizers are also very capable. Even though it was so dark here, they were able to accurately find Councillor Takada's location." Xiaolan said while applauding.
"The positions of the councillors should have been determined from the beginning." Conan said with a grandmother: "Look, that uncle has a small microphone on his chest. Maybe it will light up automatically when the light shines on it."
"But why doesn't Congressman walk straight to the podium?" Xiaolan asked curiously as she looked at Congressman Takada moving erratically among the crowd.
"Well... maybe it's a common problem among important people." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Try your best to take care of everyone and show your friendliness. This is also a quality that a council member should possess. After all, you need support."
Conan, standing by, glanced at the place where the out-of-place man had been, but the man's figure had disappeared after the lights were turned off.
"President Ishimoto, please lend me a hand."
As the light beam moved, the congressman's secretary led the way for Congressman Takata, who had an unconventional hairstyle.
Just as Councillor Takada passed by President Ishimoto, an accident happened!
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a gunshot, the next moment the bullet passed through President Ishimoto's shoulder and then shot into the heart of the congressman behind him.
"Brother Shinkura..." Congressman Takada covered his heart where he was shot and tried to say something with difficulty, but before he could finish his words, he fell silent the next moment.
The tuft of hair on his head swung back and forth in the air as Councillor Takada swayed, and the next moment his heavy body fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing Councillor Takada's body fall to the ground, the guests finally realized what had happened and countless people fell into panic.
Even Tang Ze did not expect that this case would involve guns, and the crime happened so suddenly without any warning.
“Aa ...
Accompanied by a terrified scream in the venue, the guests at the banquet no longer had their previous composure. When they came to their senses, they fled outside with terrified faces.
While protecting Ayako, Tang Ze pulled Xiaolan and Conan together to prevent the chaotic crowd from knocking people down and causing injuries from being trampled, while quickly scanning the direction where the criminal might shoot.
Finally, Tang Ze saw a suspicious figure flash by in the room where the lights were placed above the podium.
Almost instantly, he recognized the other person as the man who had been out of place at the party.
"You and Lansang stay here!"
After giving Ayako urgent instructions, Tang Ze rushed out the next moment.
There is a blind spot on the left side of the venue's door, which is also the staircase leading to the lighting room upstairs. At this moment, the door of the lighting room has been opened, and it is obvious that the suspicious figure before has disappeared.
Conan, who followed closely, went up the stairs and took a look, and finally shook his head to indicate that there was no one in the room.
Tang Ze looked around but didn't find anyone suspicious, so he had to give up.
However, not catching the criminal does not mean that there is nothing to do. After returning to the banquet hall, Tang Ze immediately revealed his identity and began to organize hotel staff to stabilize the order at the scene to avoid a stampede that would cause secondary injuries.
………
The police arrived quickly.
Inspector Megure and Takagi quickly appeared at the venue.
But when he saw Tang Ze, he was still surprised and asked, "Mr. Tang Ze, why are you here?"
"To attend the party."
Tang Ze said helplessly: "Originally, after obtaining Feng Huyan's autograph, everything would be perfect after the banquet, but who knew such an accident would happen, and he was shot to death..."
The previous cases were basically ordinary homicides, but this shooting murder gave Tang Ze a great shock.
It has to be said that this case is completely different from ordinary cases, and it completely refreshed Tang Ze's understanding.
He had never touched a gun in his previous life. He had only seen them on TV and on the Internet. It can be said that if he doesn't join the army, he will never touch a real gun in this life in China.
But now I have just happened to encounter a shooting, and I am one of the people involved. It is not a very pleasant experience.
Damn, this isn't "Gunfight Everywhere", the guns were obtained too casually.
For Tang Ze, who had no strength or means to dodge bullets, he felt that he was too weak at this moment and was a little trembling.
"It seems that the combat power needs to be improved." Tang Ze said secretly in his heart.
Although I knew before that skills were important, it was nothing compared to the profound understanding I gained through this personal experience.
He doesn't want to be killed by a bullet one day.
"As someone involved, Tang Zejun has been very helpful. Now, please tell me about the situation at the crime scene."
Inspector Megure's words interrupted Tang Ze's contemplation, and he came back to his senses and said, "No problem, this is how things developed..."
Afterwards, Tang Ze gave a detailed account of the situation and took out a threatening letter.
This was given to Karasawa by Kogoro Mouri when he explained the whole story before Inspector Megure and others arrived.
This letter was obtained from President Ishimoto, who was shot in the shoulder, and this was the matter that Kogoro Mori was taken to discuss with President Ishimoto by Sachiko Tanaka.
The reason why President Ishimoto went to Kogoro Mori instead of the police was because President Ishimoto was very disgusted with criminals.
Secondly, if no real case occurs, the criminal department generally will not conduct a serious investigation.
There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, it is too difficult in terms of "skill".
Just like cause and effect, your crime is the cause and your arrest is the result, which cannot be reversed.
Of course, in addition to the threatening letter, Conan's previous photos also came in handy.
The man wearing sunglasses in the background of the photo was in the lighting room above the podium at the time of the incident, facing the congressman from above.
Not only does he behave suspiciously, but he also has the conditions to commit a crime, making him the current number one suspect.
