Chapter 191

People like Ryota Kamimura not only have accomplished nothing, but also cannot stand seeing others doing well. Whenever he gets a chance, he will want to hate others. However, once he finds that he cannot afford to offend the other party, he will immediately retreat with his tail between his legs. He is truly a disgrace to the family. No wonder neither his father, Sachiro Kamimura, nor the old housekeeper who is dedicated to protecting the Kamimura family, treats this person well.

Xingchuan and Ming were in no mood to pay attention to him. They just turned their eyes to the corpse on the stage and asked without emotion: "What about Kamimura Sachiro? How much did he know about this? And when did he know about it?"

"Uemura... uh, I mean, the old man probably only found out about this recently. As far as I know, the second wife was quite secretive about this matter. If my mother hadn't been involved in it, well, anyway, basically no one would know about it except me."

Ryota Kamimura suddenly felt a little scared of Hoshikawa and Akira's stern faces. Especially when they looked at him with a pair of eyes that were slightly narrow like his father's, he always felt like he was being stared at by his father. After being frightened, his previous rage quickly disappeared, and he suddenly felt a little regretful for his rash behavior. He quickly stole a glance at the old butler and Shota Kamimura's reactions, but saw that the two had sullen faces and didn't even look at him.

Ryota Kamimura suddenly felt cold in his heart. Could it be that these two guys wanted to change their minds? No, once that thing is exposed, my good days will really be over! He suddenly became restless.

Conan had been secretly observing these people, and among them, Ryota Uemura, who had been acting a little strange, caught his attention. Seeing that his reaction was getting more and more strange, Conan, relying on his young age, ran over and grabbed his sleeve and pulled it up, saying coquettishly:

"Brother, you are actually a young master of a family, so amazing! Then you must have a very expensive watch, right? Let me see it! Just take a look!"

While the other party was not paying attention, Conan suddenly rolled up the other party's sleeves, revealing his pale and skinny forearm, and rows of blue and messy needle holes on his forearm.

Conan's face darkened, thinking that it was just as he thought. This would explain why Ryota Uemura was both resentful and afraid of the old butler. The old butler must have discovered his secret a long time ago, so he used exposing him as a threat to make Ryota Uemura dare not disobey him. And judging from Ryota Uemura's previous attitude, the old butler should not be the only one who knew his secret. Shota Uemura should also know about it.

Ryota Uemura didn't take Conan seriously at first, but when he noticed that his shirt sleeves were rolled up, he immediately realized what was going on. He immediately threw Conan to the ground in anger, and quickly put down his rolled-up sleeves, vigilantly put them back in front of his chest, and glared at Conan fiercely.

Conan ran away with a wry smile, and his previous guesses became more certain in his heart. However, more and more questions appeared in his mind. Who was the murderer? How did he do it? And most importantly, where was the syringe hidden?

At this time, a police officer came to Inspector Megure and whispered, "Inspector Megure, we have searched everywhere we can, but we haven't found any syringes or anything like that. Now the only things left to check are the suspects and guests' belongings."

Inspector Megure nodded, and then said to the four suspects:

"We didn't find any syringes or anything like that that could be used as a weapon. So we need to check your belongings. Please cooperate."

None of the four suspects expressed any objection to this.

Xingchuan Heming glanced at Zhufu Jingguang inconspicuously. If he remembered correctly, this undercover gentleman seemed to have brought a gun with him when he came to the appointment this time. And according to his current membership in the organization, Xingchuan Heming had reason to believe that in addition to the gun that he vaguely discovered traces of, the other party must have other backup plans.

So, in this situation, how should Morofushi Kagemitsu deal with the body search?

At this moment, Ida Kou, who had been acting as a background, suddenly took action. He and three other policemen stepped forward and volunteered to take on the task of searching the person.

He easily took a position from a suitable angle to walk straight towards Morobu Kagemitsu, and searched ahead of his colleagues without leaving any trace. However, his casual posture looked flawless, as if he had naturally chosen a suspect to search at random.

Morofushi Jingguang looked at his reliable classmate walking towards him, a polite and humble unfamiliar smile appeared on his face, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Seeing Date Kou approaching, Hoshikawa Kazuaki naturally turned his head to Date Kou, smiled and whispered hello:

"Brother Ida! I didn't expect to see you at the crime scene again."

Date Kou just stood away from Hoshikawa Kazuaki on purpose. He was well aware of Hoshikawa Kazuaki's strong observation ability, and was worried that he would accidentally expose the secret of his acquaintance with Morobushi Keimitsu in front of him, so he simply stayed away from him on purpose to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for Morobushi Keimitsu. Now that the suspects were gathered together, he had to face Hoshikawa Kazuaki directly in order to help Morobushi Keimitsu cover up, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply:

"Yeah, what a coincidence." After saying that, he immediately frowned: "But you, Xingchuan, you just encountered an assassination, why are you running around again? It seems that Nishihara and I have to take turns to watch you." He complained implicitly, and then started the work at hand.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki was very sensitive, and suddenly noticed that Morobu Kagemitsu's eyes swept over him, and then fell on Date Kou who was looking down, obviously wondering why he was so familiar with Date Kou. However, he immediately noticed Hoshikawa Kazuaki's undisguised scrutiny, so he looked up and smiled at Hoshikawa Kazuaki innocently.

Hoshikawa and Ming paused for a moment, then looked away with a guilty conscience, suddenly remembering Hagiwara Kenji's innocent smile. He had also seen the same smile on Amuro Toru's face.

Should we say, these guys are from the same period?

Because they needed to wear appropriate clothing to attend the banquet, the four of them did not carry too many personal belongings. Of course, because someone covered for Morobushi Jingguang, the truly important or should we say dangerous things were still kept safe with him.

Just now, when Ida Ko noticed the pistol on his waist, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He was more cautious in the subsequent search, fearing that he would really find something that shouldn't be there. This made Morofushi Jingguang laugh and cry, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

I really hope that the organization can be eliminated as soon as possible! This way, I can bring safety to the people earlier, and I can return to the light one day earlier, so that my friends can rest assured.

Among the four, only Hoshikawa and Akira still had their cell phones on them. They also had wallets, keys, tickets, handkerchiefs, and discount coupons for shopping malls. Morobushi Kagemitsu was symbolically searched and found to have a waiter badge, disposable gloves, a memo pad, and a ballpoint pen. Mrs. Uemura, because of her attire, naturally had nothing on her except a watch that she always wore. In addition to her daily handkerchief, pocket watch, and keys, the old butler also had an air conditioner remote control.

"As the housekeeper of the Uemura family, I will of course make all preparations in advance for such an important moment as a banquet. In order to prevent the guests from feeling uncomfortable with the temperature, is there any problem with carrying the air conditioner remote control to adjust the temperature?"

The old housekeeper was not afraid of the police's questioning at all, and answered as if it was a matter of course. Of course, such a reason was indeed reasonable, and the police did not continue to suspect anything. Only Conan looked at the remote control and fell into deep thought.

Conan didn't think the appearance of the remote control was suspicious. What really concerned him was that the old butler took out the remote control from his chest shirt pocket, which was the place where Conan had bumped into the old butler and caused him unbearable pain.

At that time, Conan just felt a pain in the back of his head, but it was not to the point of being unbearable, but the old butler who was hit had a very strong reaction. It was precisely because of this that Conan even suspected that the other party had some kind of heart disease and was hit by him.

However, the strange thing is that the old butler recovered quickly and his movements were not affected at all. When they met again, the old butler still lifted Conan up with one hand very easily. That kind of arm strength is not even achieved by many young people, let alone an old man who had just experienced a heart attack.

So it was obvious that the old housekeeper's pain at that time was not caused by heart disease.

What then?

Conan habitually wanted to find Xingchuan and Ming to reason with them, but when he looked up, he found that they were daydreaming and not paying attention to the case from a year ago. Conan was immediately confused. He walked up, poked the other party's arm with his finger, and then asked after the other party finally came to his senses:

"Hey, now is not the time to be in a daze. Don't you want to solve the case as soon as possible and clear yourself of suspicion?"

"Hmm?" Xingchuan Heming finally came back to his senses from his focus on Baifu, looked down at Conan, and suddenly realized: "So it's Conan. Did you find any clues? Or did you think of any tricks? Tell me about it?"

Conan was speechless and refused: "How can I find clues to the case? Brother Xingchuan, I am just a child. Shouldn't the task of solving the case be left to Uncle Maori?"

Let this riddle teller just slack off, and don't tell him even if I have any clues!

Conan left Xingchuan and Ming aside, and then continued to rely on his short stature to easily avoid the sight of people around him, sneaking to the side of the items for body search, picked up the remote control and carefully checked it, and then he found a faint mark on the back. Then he picked up the watch and took a look, and unexpectedly found that the scale and pointer on the dial actually contained fluorescent components. Conan's eyes lit up and a smile of understanding appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Hoshikawa and Akinori just watched from a distance, not worrying that Conan would not be able to solve the case. He is now a suspect, and rashly participating in the investigation would have a counterproductive effect. In this case, it would be better to let him continue to watch the situation of Momotomi and Nishihara Tadahiko outside.

Come to think of it, those two guys are really worrying.
