Chapter 194

Conan had no idea what the man in front of him was thinking and that he might expose his true identity at any time. After finding an excuse to get rid of Moroki Kagemitsu, he first pretended to be playful and walked around, and then took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and quickly came to the door of the banquet hall - Conan really didn't want to meet a scary adult like the old butler again, who liked to pick up children's collars and go to parents to complain.

The door of the banquet hall was a double-sided door with delicate relief patterns on the surface, which looked quite artistic and was the decoration style that families with some background always loved. However, it was precisely because of the exquisite reliefs on the door that the traces of strange grease that had appeared here were easily caught. Conan easily found those traces.

"Strange, it looks like lubricating oil." Conan dipped a little bit in it and gently twisted it with two fingers, then put it under his nose and smelled it, and said to himself in confusion: "It should be after the whole piece of grease melted. Produced. But why is there lubricant here? "

Conan thought of the word "melt" and immediately looked up at the top of the door. Sure enough, he found a section of exposed wires in the corner of the ceiling. Conan was alert for a moment, and then he looked along the direction of the wires, and happened to see a set of emergency lights specially used for lighting in case of power outages.

Conan only felt a flash of inspiration pass through his mind quickly, instantly illuminating his entire thinking and connecting all the known clues together.

so it is!

I already know who the murderer is and how he committed the crime. Now I just need to find someone and use his words to break all the tricks designed by the criminal.

He skillfully found Kogoro Mouri in the crowd, who was trying to analyze the case with the police officers. Then he avoided the sight of others, hid in the corner beside the table on both sides, and opened the cover of the anesthetic needle on his watch.

Although Hoshikawa and Ming were paying attention to the two vests outside, they were also distracted by what was happening in the banquet hall, so they noticed Conan's little move at the first time.

Just when Conan had solved all the puzzles and was about to continue looking for Maori Kogoro to be the scapegoat, Hoshikawa Kazuaki suddenly appeared in Conan's sight and accurately blocked the route of Conan's anesthetic needle.

“Oh no!”

Conan discovered it too late. The anesthetic needle had already been shot out, and then, in front of Conan's horrified eyes, it sank into the suit jackets of Hoshikawa and Akira.

Conan's breathing suddenly froze. He watched Xingchuan and Ming's reactions with fear, and then watched them turn half a circle on the spot, tilt their bodies, and sit directly at a banquet table beside them, with their heads lowered and their bodies leaning forward, obviously already asleep.

Conan exhaled with difficulty, not knowing whether he was lucky or unlucky. Although Hoshikawa Kazuaki was indeed a good candidate for a substitute reasoning, he was also an extremely sharp person. It was impossible for him not to notice that he had fallen asleep for no reason and the case was solved, and he solved it while he was asleep.

What if he discovers something because of this, or even wakes up prematurely before the reasoning is completed, how can I hide it from him then?

Conan suddenly thought of the time when he exposed his identity in front of Hattori Heiji. It was almost the same process, and his head suddenly hurt.

This was a problem. He had no intention of revealing his identity to Xingchuan Heming. Not only because he was the son of a test subject targeted by the organization, but more importantly, Xingchuan Heming was a very difficult guy to deal with!

Conan was shaking his head in frustration, while Hoshikawa and Akira suddenly fell into a classic sleeping position, which also attracted the attention of the people around them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Conan immediately jumped out from the corner, ran quickly to Xingchuan and Ming's side, and stuck the prepared loudspeaker under his collar. Then he grabbed the bowtie voice changer under the table, and quickly adjusted the frequency of Xingchuan and Ming's voice.

At the same time, the strange behavior of Hoshikawa and Akira has also attracted the attention of the police. Inspector Megure has heard the news and rushed over.

"Brother Xingchuan? I heard that you suddenly felt unwell. Could it be that someone poisoned you again?"

Immediately afterwards, Date Ko's voice was heard.

"Hashikawa? What's wrong with you?" There was obvious nervousness in Date Kou's serious voice.

Conan had already adjusted the audio frequency at this time, and was about to say something to comfort everyone, but he suddenly choked after hearing what Inspector Megure said. He suddenly remembered that Hoshikawa and Akira were always in danger in the eyes of everyone, and he had to stabilize the situation immediately. Otherwise, as long as one person was worried and went forward to check the situation, it would definitely expose the fact that Hoshikawa and Akira were knocked unconscious by the anesthetic needle. Thinking of this, Conan did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately spoke:

"I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you all. It's just that when I was thinking about the case just now, it was as if I had received the true teachings of Mr. Maori, and inspiration came to me all of a sudden, so I made this iconic move."

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes revealing confusion. Although the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, at least their pace slowed down. It can be seen that Maori Kogoro's reputation is still very trustworthy at this time.

"Ah? What are you talking about, Hoshikawa? When did you receive my true teachings?" Kogoro Mori asked casually, holding his head.

Conan continued to talk nonsense with sweat on his forehead: "Ah, yes, I usually study with Mr. Maori, and then, I was influenced by you. Now even my reasoning level has improved. It's all because of Mr. Maori's good teaching..."

Conan's story was so painful, but before he could finish, Maori Kogoro believed it and laughed triumphantly on the spot. This made Conan's flattering words that he had finally thought of get stuck in his throat, making him feel very uncomfortable.

However, just above the table where Conan was hiding, Hoshikawa Kazuaki lowered his head, leaning forward slightly on the table, maintaining the classic "sleeping" posture, but he was complaining wildly in his heart.

It was really uncomfortable to maintain this position. I don't know how Kogoro Maori managed to hold on for so long after being anesthetized. And Conan, that kid, how could he come up with such an outrageous excuse! It's so embarrassing. How can I face people in the future?

Finally, Inspector Megure, who had long been accustomed to Kogoro Mori's occasional sleep, was the first to react. He coughed lightly and brought the topic back.

"So, Brother Xingchuan, you just said that you were imitating Brother Maori. Does that mean you already know who the murderer is?"

"Yes, I have indeed solved the mystery. I have seen through the murder caused by betrayal in this dark space that has been twisted by the murderer who exploited the loopholes in people's hearts."

"Betrayal? So, what happened during the power outage?" The person spoke in a gentle but careless voice. Conan immediately became alert.

It was the member of the organization who was disguised as a waiter! How could he be interested in the case? Could it be that Kamimura Sachiro's death was really related to the organization?

Wait! Hoshikawa is also a target of the organization. If the death of Kamimura Sachiro is really related to the organization, then is it really appropriate for Hoshikawa to solve this case? Will the organization do something to Hoshikawa because of this?

Thinking that his reckless behavior might bring trouble to Hoshikawa and Ming, Conan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Brother Hoshikawa?" Seeing that he hadn't said anything, Inspector Megure couldn't help but ask.

Conan took a deep breath and forced himself to collect his thoughts. It was too late to regret now. Although he didn't know what the impact would be in the future, at least for now, he had to deal with the situation in front of him.

"That's right, everyone. I already know who the murderer is who deliberately created darkness and took the opportunity to kill President Kamimura."

Even though he could only hide under the table, Conan's eyes became sharp, and he spoke word by word:

"The murderer is you, the old butler of the Kamimura family!"
