Chapter 188

When Date Kou and a group of police officers arrived at the banquet hall, the power supply had been restored to the entire building. Because the Mori family maintained order in time, the guests did not destroy the crime scene. The body was still in the state of death, curled up on the stage prepared for the speech.

"Brother Mori? How come I meet you at the crime scene again?" Inspector Megure complained with his eyes squinted.

"Hahahahahaha, of course the case is calling me, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro!" Mouri Kogoro didn't feel the ridicule of Inspector Megure at all. He held the back of his head and laughed triumphantly.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not complimenting you!"

Date Kou quickly and calmly scanned the banquet hall, but did not find Morofushi Kagemitsu among the guests.

Since this is a public security mission, did this guy disguise himself before coming? Oh no, I'm not good at identifying disguises. How can I help him conceal his identity later?

Conan had already completed a simple autopsy before the police arrived. Because of his small stature and the lack of light in the banquet hall, neither the guests around him nor Kogoro Mouri, who was maintaining order, noticed him immediately.

However, the power supply system of the entire building was restored to normal operation, and the entire banquet hall was brightly lit again. Conan's small figure circling around the corpse was immediately discovered by the old butler who had been paying attention to the venue.

"Hey? How did this kid end up at the crime scene again? Where are your parents? Didn't they keep you under control?"

The old butler walked up to Conan dissatisfiedly, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川)

"Ahhh, let me go!"

Conan was worried that he would be handed over to Ran again, and he would not be able to investigate the case secretly. But he remembered that the old butler was hit in the chest by him just now, and the pain was very much like a heart attack, so he did not dare to fight too hard, and he was very depressed.

Fortunately, Mao Lilan was in the corner of the banquet hall at that time, patiently comforting a frightened lady, and seemed not to notice the situation here. Mao Li Kogoro was busy talking to Inspector Megure, so the old butler had to hand Conan over to a waiter who hurried over.

"Keep an eye on this brat for me, don't let him run around again, it will cause trouble for the police." The old butler angrily threw Conan into the waiter's arms and left without waiting for him to finish his words.

Conan was gently put on the ground, secretly relieved, and then he looked at the old butler's figure leaving, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. But before he could think about it, the waiter's gentle voice came from above his head.

"Little brother, there are bad guys hiding in the banquet hall. It's very dangerous. Don't run around."

The man's gentle voice was filled with a caring smile, but when Conan heard this, he was immediately startled and the hairs on his body stood up in fear.

This sound!

There's no doubt about it. Isn't this the voice we just heard on the eavesdropping device? It's the voice of the member of the organization pretending to be the public security officer that Xingchuan and Ming went to meet alone?

Who is this person? Is he Bermode, or a member of the organization disguised by Bermode? Why is he here? What is the organization's goal in coming here this time? Is the deceased related to them?

Having had several experiences of direct contact with members of the organization, Conan was unusually calm at this time. He raised his face obediently, showing a sweet smile, and said in a childish voice:

"Thank you, big brother. Why are you here? Are you here to see the deceased uncle as well?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu kept smiling, and looked at the seemingly well-behaved child in front of him with a cryptic look. According to what Hoshikawa Kazuaki said, this child named Edogawa Conan was not as ordinary as he looked.

Not only does he possess a device that ordinary people cannot possibly get their hands on, such as a wiretap, but he can also reason and analyze clearly and logically to figure out secrets that others are trying very hard to hide, to the point where even people like Xingchuan and Ming can fall for it accidentally.

Are there really such terrible geniuses in the world?

In a very short time just now, Morobushi Kagemitsu has used the resources at hand to simply investigate the information of Edogawa Conan. Both of his parents are abroad, temporarily living in the Mori Detective Agency, and he has been on the newspaper with the Junior Detective Team for solving a case.

He looks like an ordinary, very smart kid who has been influenced by the detective environment.

However, Morobushi Jingguang would not think that one can tell everything about a person just from this superficial information. Not to mention how much can be done with this publicly disclosed information, the fact that even people as careful as Xingchuan and Ming have to remind themselves to pay attention to this in a subtle way shows that this child is not ordinary.

"I'm a waiter here, so of course I have to serve the guests. But you, little brother, why are you lingering around the crime scene? Aren't you afraid of corpses?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu squatted down and looked at the little child Conan with a smile, looking very friendly and reliable.

"Ahahaha, I often play detective games, so I'm not scared. I was just helping Uncle Maori collect clues."

Conan answered obediently on the surface, but in his heart he thought it was a pity that the other party was too cautious and he couldn't get anything out of him. He couldn't be sure who the person in front of him was, but he silently raised a cordon in his heart. If it was Vermouth, it would be better. If it was a member of another organization, if he showed anything that was not suitable for a child, it would probably arouse the other party's vigilance. Don't bring any trouble to Uncle Maori and Xiaolan because of this.

The only thing Conan was thankful for was that the other party had no way of knowing that he had installed the eavesdropping device, and even if he showed some abnormality, the other party would not be too defensive. This made it much easier for him to get away with it.

What really concerned Conan was that from the other party's squatting action just now, he could see unnatural wrinkles under the waist of his clothes. The other party still had a thick gun coil on his hand, and he deliberately came to the dead and wandered around, which made it difficult for Conan not to think of the organization's mission.

Damn, if I could know the organization's recent movements, maybe I could deduce more information from their movements. But if I connect these things with Xingchuan and Ming's identity as experimental subjects, it seems to make sense, right?

Could it be that the organization wanted to set a trap for Hoshikawa and Akira, and thought Kamimura Saichiro would be an obstacle, so the organization wanted to get rid of him? However, is this father of Hoshikawa, whom he has never even met, really that important?

Conan's brain was working rapidly.

Perhaps it was because the aura around Morobushi Kagemitsu was too gentle and harmless, and the atmosphere of reasoning at the time was too strong. Although Conan concealed the purpose of his actions, he forgot the situation at the moment and started thinking directly on the spot.

Morofushi Kagemitsu quietly watched Conan, who was lost in thought, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Even though he had prepared in advance, he was still shocked by Conan's sharp insight.

Such a young child, his answer was so flawless. Also, his eyes just glanced over the pistol on his waist, right? He even lingered on his palm for a moment. Add to that the fleeting nervousness just now, did he doubt his identity? It seems that he has recognized his voice.

Sure enough, the guy who secretly placed the eavesdropping device on Xingchuan and Ming was this kid.

However, Morobushi Jingguang was not very worried. Until the eavesdropping device was discovered, the conversations between him and Hoshikawa Kazuaki were very few. Unless the person was very familiar with the organization, it would be impossible to get useful information from these few greetings. No matter how powerful this kid was, he couldn't know the inside story of the organization so clearly, right?

But even so, this child is worthy of attention. He is so young, but he has such professional equipment in his hands. Moreover, he is very curious and most of the people he comes into contact with are dangerous people. It is easy for him to encounter danger or bring danger to others.

Morofushi Jingguang smiled gently, but his eyes became deep.

Although this kid named Conan is well hidden, he can't hide it from Zero who is an undercover agent. Even Xingchuan and Ming who have not received professional training have discovered it. But is it really okay to let him randomly test and contact dangerous people?

Moreover, the organization has already started to pay attention to Hoshikawa and Akira, and they will probably notice Conan appearing near him next. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself, it may not be a good thing. It seems that he must find time to talk to Zero about it.
