After convincing the other party, Tang Ze asked Dr. Agasa to take out the soundproof box placed in a separate room and then started a "acted" conversation facing the eavesdropping device.
Of course, because the other party already knew the identities of Conan and Haibara, in order to ensure the authenticity of the conversation without leaking important information, both of them deliberately concealed Tang Ze's identity during the conversation.
After everything was over, the two of them made a move to leave the room. Dr. Agasa took back the eavesdropping device and put it in a private room.
"Now let's discuss how to deal with this 'Halloween' party."
Conan frowned: "I also read the notice from my uncle before. It was full of provocative words. It felt more like a murder notice to me..."
"You can leave this to me." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"What are you going to do?" Conan looked at Tang Ze in confusion.
"Since it's a banquet, the scope has actually been narrowed down a lot, right? Let's finalize the list of attendees first."
As Tang Ze said this, he took out his cell phone and called Shimabukuro Kimie.
The reason for calling the other party was because the theme of this banquet was "Halloween", and all the guests were required to dress up as monsters and go on board the ship.
Now, Shimabukuro Kimie is very famous for her special effects makeup, and many movies involving ghosts will ask her to work on them, so it is normal for her to come into contact with several people attending the party.
As expected, after asking, Shimabukuro Kimie knew the details of the banquet.
This inappropriate Halloween party is held every year, and the organizer is no secret among insiders. He is a well-known film producer named Chizo Fukuura.
After learning about this from the other party, Tang Ze made another call.
"Moximoxi? How come you have time to call me now?" The gentle and smiling voice coming from the other end of the phone revealed the identity of its owner.
"Still busy?" Tang Ze smiled and said, "There's something I want you to use your connections to help me check."
"What happened?" Ayako asked after hearing what she heard.
"Someone sent me a letter saying that a murder would occur at an 'inappropriate Halloween' party on a cruise ship. It also included a warning letter, hoping I would intervene and prevent the murder."
After briefly explaining the details of the banquet, Tang Ze said, "I asked Miss Shimabukuro to find out that the organizer of this banquet is a well-known film producer named Fukuura Chizo."
"Eh? This party? Sonoko said a few days ago that she would go to this party with Mr. Mori tomorrow!"
Ayako's tone became a little anxious when she said this: "In that case, I will contact them and cancel tomorrow's banquet..."
It has to be said that although Ayako said this with a worried tone, Tang Ze only felt the word "domineering" coming at him, and the tone seemed as if she had never thought about the possibility of being rejected by the other party.
But it's understandable. If Guang Yuanzi was involved in this matter, she would at most choose to stop Yuanzi.
But since someone asked Tang Ze to stop the case, and she knew that Tang Ze would definitely not sit idly by, this approach was naturally the best solution for Ayako.
After all, if you have enough money and background, the things that most people think are difficult are actually just that...
After hearing Ayako's method of solving the problem, Tang Ze felt it was unusually familiar... After secretly expressing his feeling that "people from the same family tend to be alike", Tang Ze decisively chose to refuse.
If it were a normal time, if he could use his "money power" and connections so simply and crudely to dismantle the stage of the case and thus stop the case, Tang Ze would definitely choose this method first.
But this time it won't work. Vermouth is monitoring the situation on the ship in real time. If Tangze directly blows up the stage, then Vermouth will know that his "luring the tiger away from the mountain" plan has been seen through by Conan, and the other party has "induced" Tangze, the "uninformed" criminal, to stop the case.
This would be like alerting the enemy, which was not in line with their plan, so Tang Ze rejected Ayako's proposal and only asked him to ask for a list of guests attending the banquet.
After all, they are the organizers and they are the ones who issue the invitations. Naturally, they have a list to keep track of who they send the invitations to.
"But what do you need a party list for?"
After Tang Ze hung up the phone, Conan asked curiously, "You're not going to filter out the possible criminals from here, are you?
But now there are so many people and we don’t have any clues…”
"At least we know someone is going to kill someone, right?"
Tang Ze smiled and said, "I don't think Vermouth would want to let the organization's people kill people. If that were the case, what would be waiting for him on this 'isolated island' of a cruise ship is criminal detention after docking."
"That means Vermouth will choose a stranger to commit a crime..."
Conan seemed to have thought of something and said suddenly: "Is it the Internet? If Vermouth selects people with murderous tendencies from the Internet, then after using threats and inducements, it is very likely that the other party will become a pawn in her hands..."
"That's right, so we just need to screen everyone's browsing and comments on the Internet and find those who vent their emotions and want to kill people." Tang Ze nodded.
"I think only you can use this method." Conan scratched his head.
Conan actually remained quite calm about not being able to come up with a solution for this matter. On the one hand, it was because he had been hurt so many times, and on the other hand, it was because of the difference in their identities.
He is a detective and most of the time he has to rely on himself to fight alone, while Tang Ze is a criminal who can use the huge Metropolitan Police Department to achieve his goals.
The different identities of the two people determine that their ways of solving problems are different.
Just like when a gunman is attacked, his first reaction is to draw his gun, while a swordsman will draw his sword. Because they are too familiar with themselves, they will think about how to solve the problem from their own perspective at the first time.
If you ask the gunman to hold a knife and he doesn't have one, he naturally won't be able to solve the problem.
This situation is similar to the current situation. It's not that Conan can't think of it, but he is limited by his own identity.
Similarly, he had already found a reason to intervene in the case, which was the reason he gave to Ayako above.
By then, with the invitation letters from Sonoko and Maori Kogoro as evidence, it would not be strange even if I intervened.
Even if Vermouth came to review the situation, Tang Ze was just an "unknowing" criminal who was used to break her plan.
In this way, Tang Ze's goal has been achieved.
