Chapter 87 Suspect



They did sneak into the party, and they did find the target, but the problem now is that Conan was there...

Xi'an was skeptical about the mission's success.

However, thinking that Gin was still holding a sniper rifle in the distance, even though he felt that this mission was very risky, Xian still moved towards the target of the mission intentionally or unintentionally, planning for a reasonable encounter.

What does he want to do? Conan was extremely alert when he saw Xi'an standing at the door of the banquet. Ever since he learned about Haibara Ai's identity from Dr. Agasa that day, he was very wary of Boss Hinamori, and even had a hint of disbelief.

Although Boss Hinamori usually exudes an unreliable aura and occasionally looks very suspicious, Conan has never suspected that he is a criminal.

Conan felt uncomfortable when he thought about the fact that Haibara Ai, who claimed to be a member of the organization, was still missing. Although Dr. Agasa had clearly stated that she was a member of the organization and the one who developed the drug that made him smaller, he didn't want her to be discovered by the organization and then eliminated.

Until now, Haibara Ai's whereabouts are still unknown... When Conan thought of this, he couldn't help but look towards Xian.

"...Although the frequency is a little less, you, Hinamori, are one of those who often appear at the crime scene." Officer Megure looked at Xian with half-moon eyes, "You were just a bystander the first two times, but now you have directly become a suspect..."

So, was it that Boss Hinamori had arranged for them to enter the banquet together this time? What was his purpose?

"Brother Xian, do you remember what kind of wine President Wangcang drank? Or what kind of cup he used?" Conan continued to ask.

Xian: ...

In any case, killing is wrong. If he wants to be the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, he cannot be timid about any case. If the person was not killed by Boss Hinamori, then the murder will never be traced to him. If he really was the one who killed him... then he will try his best to find all the clues and make him get the punishment he deserves.

It was so stupid. Going on such a simple mission could still lead to an accident. And...after the unexpected incident, he even looked at his scope with such a stupid expression.

"You must immediately investigate all members who attended the banquet to find out who did it." Gin ordered coldly.

"I remember he didn't seem to have eaten anything, but he did drink a glass of wine." Xian tapped his chin, "Because when President Wangcang mentioned his brooch, he looked very excited and didn't care about eating anything. Even if he drank, he drank it all in one gulp without caring about tasting it at all."

Gin didn't want to admit it at all, but that expression made him feel even more familiar.

"Ah, he's a famous detective who became famous not long ago. He's very good at solving cases, and every time he solves a case, he looks like he's asleep, so he's called the Sleeping Kogoro." Vodka briefly explained Maori Kogoro's identity, with a bit of joy on his face, "Brother, there's no case that Maori Kogoro can't solve yet. Maybe Finlandia won't be caught!"

The police finally arrived, but the current situation is "I really am not the murderer, Officer Megure." Xian said sincerely, "I just had a few simple words with President Wangcang." So the only suspects should be the president's personal secretary next to him and the manager who followed the president to the banquet.

If it was a murder case at a banquet, he should investigate the people who had contact with the deceased at the banquet, and then select those who had a motive for murder. But now... the person died right in front of him...

While he was in a daze, Xian felt the corner of his clothes being pulled. Xian looked down and saw Conan asking him hesitantly, "Hey, Xian brother, did the president eat anything before he died?"

"...Brother?" Vodka was a little frightened by Gin's appearance, and he didn't see Gin shoot. Could it be...that Finlandia's mission failed? But he remembered that Finlandia said it was a very simple mission...

Xian was silent for a moment. No matter how you look at it, it looks like he is the murderer! !

Why did the accident happen? And the person died in front of Boss Hinamori. Could it be Boss Hinamori who did it? Is this incident related to the organization? If it is related to the group of men in black, then can he solve the case smoothly?

Xian: ...

Xian recalled that the information said that the president was obsessed with brooches, and combined with his previous conversation, he made a half-truthful explanation.

"Brother, I found a list of all the people who attended the party. It will take some time to find out the interpersonal relationships, but..." Vodka looked at the notebook he carried with him and said hesitantly, "I saw that Maori Kogoro is also on the list."

"Yes, I have never met him." Seeing his photo doesn't count, but what does the intersection of the organizations have to do with him, Rinasenshian.

"Then did you notice anything wrong before President Wangcang died?"

Xian: ...? No, wait, that's not what the script says.

Ah, Conan started to act. Xian secretly gave Conan a thumbs up in his heart, but on the surface he was still briefly introducing what he had just done.

Although he looked very familiar, for the fairness of the case, Inspector Megure still acted impartially and said to Xian in a serious manner: "Brother Hinamori, I'm very sorry. Since the person died in front of you, we need to conduct some investigations on you and may need you to answer our questions."

"It's champagne. As for the cup... let me think." Xian looked around the tables at the banquet and finally landed on a round table. "It's probably that kind of cup." Then Xian paused, "It's just the same cup, but I remember that President Wangcang directly took the cup from the waiter's tray, drank it all, and then put it back on the tray. The cup was taken away by the waiter."

Xian obediently sat in the seat next to him, and then began to daydream. After all, he was a suspect now, and it would be better for him not to show any other emotions.

After drinking... I have to look at the cup that President Amikura drinks from, but the question is, which cup is that...

After all, Conan was there, so Xian was not too panicked. Although he looked a little negative now, he should be able to recover soon and then devote himself to the investigation of the case. However...Xian's inner villain wiped his sweat. Gin, who was sniping in the distance, was probably cursing and retracting his sniper rifle, and scolding him for being a waste...

"Then how did you get in touch with President Wangcang?"

"By the way, his brooch fell off once. It seemed like it was not fastened tightly enough and then it fell off." Xian thought about it and decided to tell all the small details, including the fact that the president repeatedly touched the brooch. He didn't tell it to the police officers, but to let Conan hear it so that he could better solve the case.

"Humph, if only it were that easy." Gin sent a message to someone unknown, then put his phone back in his pocket and looked off into the distance with a heavy gaze. "If this continues, Finlandia will probably be identified as the murderer."

"At first I just made an appointment with a friend nearby, but unfortunately he couldn't come at the last minute. I happened to meet Mr. Maori again, so I followed them into the banquet."

"I see. I see." The police officer nodded and put away his pen. "Please sit over there and wait for a while. Don't leave."

Gin, where's Gin? Xian looked confused and subconsciously glanced out the window. He saw a reflection from the sniper rifle scope, but no bullet came.

Would you be very happy if someone praised your brooch? Conan moved his ears, and then immediately ran to the other two suspects to inquire about the president's brooch.

A familiar scream sounded, calling Xian's attention.

Xian: ...? Xian then watched the president foam at the mouth and then fall straight down in front of him.

The entire banquet became quiet in an instant, and then soon became chaotic again, with people screaming and running away. However, at this time, Mouri Kogoro's identity as a former detective was revealed. He quickly controlled the crowd and cordoned off the scene.

Xian: ...? Don't make such fatal complaints so casually!

Xian nodded: "Well, I understand, Officer Megure. I will do my best to cooperate with the investigation."

Of course I was deliberately trying to start a conversation… Of course I couldn’t have said this: “It’s like this, I accidentally bumped into President Wangcang at the banquet, and after I apologized, I suddenly realized that his brooch was very beautiful, so I complimented him. Then President Wangcang suddenly got excited and kept talking to me about the brooch…”

Don't be so obvious!!!

For a moment, Conan hesitated.

Xian stood there blankly, looking left and right, and suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

"Tsk." Six hundred yards away, Gin turned his eyes away from the sniper rifle scope in annoyance, took out his cell phone with murderous intent on his face, and typed, "Waste."

"Detective?" Gin frowned. Although it didn't seem very reliable, it was the only way now. Thinking of this, Gin quickly took back his sniper rifle, found his telescope, and paid close attention to the situation in Finlandia.

Although all of this is very familiar and formulaic, Conan is present, someone has indeed died, and there are even screams, but the question now is... the murderer...

"There's a murder." Gin frowned and took the time to answer Vodka's question, "The one who died is the target of the mission."

According to his plan, Xian gradually started a conversation with the president, and then calmly led him to the window where Gin could make a sniper attack. He then slowly adjusted his posture to ensure that Gin would not accidentally hurt himself.

Conan was distracted and had no idea why Xian came here. Xian didn't have time to care about that. He felt that he should hurry up and finish the task before Conan's death physique took effect. I hope Gin has prepared everything very efficiently.

"Well... no." Xian touched his chin and recalled, "He just had a sudden attack and then died." Apart from the fact that the president repeatedly touched his brooch, there should be nothing suspicious.

Conan actually doesn't want to appear as calm as he seems now. He is already a little unsure in his heart and even hesitates to solve the case at hand.

The police officer at the side was diligently taking notes: "In other words, you had no intersection with the president of Wangcang before this, right?"

But he came forward and asked so boldly... Actually, I didn't seem very surprised. I felt that this was very consistent with Conan's character. Xian thought sincerely.

Could it be Boss Hinamori who did it? To say that Boss Hinamori was a ruthless member of the organization, he still couldn't believe it. He felt like he had heard it from someone else. He couldn't imagine that Boss Hinamori, who had always been gentle, would kill people with a gun.

"Who is Kogoro Mori?" Gin frowned and looked back at Vodka.

"How could this happen!" Vodka suddenly panicked. Finlandia was a high-ranking member of the organization. Although he might not reveal any information about the organization, it would still be very troublesome if he was caught by the police!

Suddenly, the president in front of him grabbed his neck with both hands, rolled his eyes up, opened his mouth wide, and made a "ho ho" sound.

What? He was taken away? This is difficult to deal with. But there is still a question: why was it found that there was potassium cyanide on the finger of Wangcang President, but he died without eating anything? Conan touched his chin and left Xian with a thoughtful look on his face.

He clearly felt that the people around him were looking at him with suspicion. A few women even gathered together and whispered to each other. While they were talking, they looked at him as if to say, "This guy looks like a decent human being, but I didn't expect him to be a murderer."

"...Ah?" Vodka was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly, "That...that's not a good thing?" In this way, we don't have to take action, and the organization will be the beneficiary.

Ah... it's Conan. Xian was a little surprised. He thought that Conan should be a little afraid of him because of the Haibara Ai incident. Xian didn't expect Conan to ask him questions this time. He was also very considerate and told the police officer all the small details so that Conan could ask the police.

But... Conan looked at the body being carried away by the police, and finally made up his mind to start looking for clues.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Xian had already started counting down in his mind.

"Well, okay, thank you for your help."

Really... He is really not good at this kind of reasoning. Is it true that every profession has its specialties? Xian sighed in his heart. He can overcome all difficulties in pursuit of the truth. He is really worthy of being Kudo Shinichi.

Suddenly, Xian felt a strong gaze. He squinted his eyes and quickly looked in the direction of the gaze, but he only saw an ordinary police officer who was concentrating on searching for small clues on the table.

Xian squinted at the police officer for a while, then quietly poked Xiao Si and got a positive answer.

That is... Vermouth.
