The lights in the venue came back on, and the guests, previously focused on the painting of Mount Fuji, turned their attention to the source of the sound. Screams erupted as they witnessed someone being crushed beneath the massive chandelier.
Fujiwara Yuu walked quickly towards the chandelier, put on his gloves skillfully, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he glared at Edogawa Conan who was trying to move forward. Now everyone is away from here, if you run over here, won't the organization hidden in the crowd stare at you at will?
Edogawa Conan was stared at so hard that he dared not move forward. He had no choice but to take Huibara Ai towards Suzuki Sonoko and observe the people in the crowd. He did not sense the man in black with the same temperament as Gin Vodka, so he had to lean over to Huibara Ai's ear and whispered:
"Hey, Huibara, is there anyone you know here?"
"No, just be a little more quiet." Haibara Ai pushed the spare tracking glasses. She had just secretly installed a locator on Fujiwara Yuu, so that she could find him quickly if something happened.
Edogawa Conan curled his lips, feeling a little depressed. If he were an adult now, he could stand beside Brother Takashi and help him openly.
Fujiwara Yuu pulled out his police ID and began to calm the guests. He noticed Tokiwa Mio among the people emerging from behind the stage, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently, the commotion at the venue had delayed Kisaragi Minezuki's plan.
He walked quickly towards Tokiwa Mio and suggested:
"Ms. Tokiwa, could you please arrange for a few people to block the elevator entrance and fire escape? I need to make sure no guests leave without permission."
"No problem, everyone, quickly cooperate with Officer Ying Si and block all the entrances and exits!"
Mio Tokiwa hadn't expected something like this to happen at the opening ceremony. First, it was Councilman Oki, and now it's Councilman TÅguchi. How will the outside world view her Tokiwa Group? Will any councilman still cooperate with them in the future?
Thinking of this, she sighed secretly. Her plan to attract investors today was probably going to fail.
Fujiwara Yu came to the body of Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi. He looked at Kogoro Mori who came to help, and casually found two young men to help move the huge chandelier together.
Lying in a pool of blood were not only Councillor Tunkou, but also the two unfortunate bodyguards.
He carefully examined the wounds on the three dead men, confirming they weren't gunshot wounds, then looked up at the remaining half of the chain. Were the members of the organization wearing night vision goggles? No, they must have used some other method to achieve accurate shooting in the dark.
Fujiwara Yu was unsure how the other party would eliminate the smoke reaction. He reached out to take the microphone handed to him by Sawaguchi Chinami and made a request to all the guests present:
"All guests, please stand still and do not move around. I will arrange for personnel to check whether you have any reaction to the smoke. Please cooperate with the police investigation. Thank you!"
He randomly selected several people who were unlikely to be members of the organization to investigate, but after a round of inspection, he did not find any obvious smell of gunpowder on anyone, let alone any gunpowder reaction.
Conan Edogawa noticed something was wrong, so he immediately crawled under the dining table to check. Soon he found a stained black handkerchief under one of the tables. He put it close to his nose and sniffed it, and there was a very obvious smell of gunpowder.
He was about to run out and hand it over to Takagi Sosuke, but when he remembered that there were still members of the organization at the scene, he had no choice but to run behind Maori Kogoro, patted the uncle's thigh skillfully, and said:
"Uncle, I was playing under the table just now and found this. It has a very pungent smell!"
"Hmm? Let me smell it." Maori Kogoro picked up the handkerchief and put it close to his nose. The strong smell of gunpowder made him sure that this was the murderer's way of hiding the reaction of gunpowder smoke. He smiled and squatted down to rub Conan's head, laughing: "Haha, good job, little brat!"
Kogoro Mouri ran to Sosuke Takagi with a black handkerchief in his hand and told him about Conan's discovery. Fujiwara Yu felt very relieved. He didn't expect that this kid Kudo really suppressed his detective spirit and became more and more sensible.
"Officer Takashi, should we conduct a body search? If we find the handgun, we can determine who the murderer is."
Hearing Maori Kogoro's proposal, Fujiwara Yu shook his head seriously and rejected it out loud:
"No, it would be troublesome if they took someone hostage. Besides, I'm not here as a police officer today. I don't have a gun on me. It's too dangerous to act rashly."
This statement was of course a lie. If the fact that he had a gun on him was exposed, Kogoro Mouri would definitely doubt his true identity. After all, he had been a policeman and would not be so stupid as to not doubt this.
"Well, that's true. So now our only way to find the murderer is to solve the case?" Kogoro Mouri frowned and asked.
"Well, this is the only way."
Under the guidance of Fujiwara Yu, Tokiwa Mio and others began to calm the guests, while Mori Kogoro was mainly responsible for checking the fallen chandelier. As for Fujiwara Yu himself, he naturally tore off two tablecloths, covered the bodies of the three people, and took out his mobile phone to dial Date Ko's number, asking him to rush to the scene while he was on standby in front of the Twin Towers.
Kogoro Mouri, who was checking the chandelier, suddenly noticed something strange on the top. He reached out and touched it and found that it was not paint peeling off. Then what was this dark green color that did not match the gold?
Puzzled, he had no choice but to call for professionals:
"Huh? Officer Ying Si, come here, something seems a little strange here!"
When Fujiwara Yu came closer to check, he found that the dark green looked familiar, and a possibility emerged in his mind. He quickly reached out to surround the dark green, and sure enough, it was consistent with what he thought - the dark green in the dark turned into fluorescent green, which was a fluorescent agent!
So that's how it is. The murderer used this method to shoot in the dark. Although we can't be sure who the person who carried out the assassination was, at least we can be sure that the organization had that person tamper with the chandelier in the venue before the banquet started.
Just go to Tokiwa Mio and get the list of employees who set up the venue, and then compare them to determine who that person is.
Thinking of this, he knocked off the piece of fluorescent debris and put it into the evidence bag. Before he could even start looking for Tokiwa Mio, the entire venue suddenly fell into darkness again, and the building began to shake.
An earthquake? No, an explosion! Did the organization realize I'd found crucial evidence and immediately detonate the bomb hidden inside the building?!
Damn it, these lunatics actually want to blow up the building!
"Claire, can you hear me?"
Akai Shuichi's hurried voice came from the headset, and it sounded like he was running.
"I can hear you, go ahead."
"Hurry up and catch Tokiwa Mio! That guy is Vermouth in disguise! The real Tokiwa Mio is in the women's restroom on the 20th floor. I just asked Judy to evacuate her!"
"What?!"
