Chapter 237

For some reason, Xingchuan and Ming felt that since they came to the world of science, they had either been treated as suspects or were on the way to becoming suspects. It made him almost have PTSD about the identity of a suspect at the crime scene.

Especially the person who died today, theoretically, was his half-brother, which made him feel even more complicated.

However, when Xingchuan and Ming thought that if the comic book had not acted on its own initiative, none of this would have happened, they felt so angry that their teeth itched.

Perhaps because he had experienced too many crime scenes, Maori Kogoro consciously began to take charge of maintaining the scene and conducting a simple investigation of the scene before the police arrived. After hearing the accusation of Kamimura Shota, he turned around and looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki with some surprise.

"Hoshikawa? Why are you here? Are you the first witness to appear at the crime scene again?" Maori Kogoro looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki in surprise, then frowned and asked in confusion: "It can't be that you really had an argument with Uemura Yuuki because of some unknown conflict between you and him, and then accidentally killed him?"

Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked at Maori Kogoro in silence, sighed and said, "Mr. Maori, are you kidding me? You can tell by the stains on my hands and cuffs. I just came to the bathroom to wash up, and I'm not close to Uemura Yutaka. There's no need or reason to kill him."

However, as soon as Xingchuan and Ming finished their words, a rebuttal voice was immediately heard in the corridor.

"Do you dare to say that there is really no conflict between you and Yuta? But I just heard from Yuta on the phone that he bumped into you in the corridor a few minutes ago, and you two almost fought. So it is entirely possible that you harbor resentment towards Yuta and then look for an opportunity to kill him? If you want to deny it, then first explain what the wrinkles on your clothes on your chest are about!"

Several people looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young man dressed like a member of the Uemura family, striding over with an angry look on his face. Someone immediately whispered to the people around him that the man was actually Uemura Kenichi, the only cousin of the deceased Uemura Yuta who had a good relationship with him in the family, and also one of the people responsible for the preparation of today's banquet.

Everyone looked at Xingchuan Heming upon hearing this. As Uemura Kenichi said, there were marks of someone scratching his shirt on his chest, which clearly showed that he had just had a conflict with someone. And the strangest thing was that Xingchuan Heming was missing a button on his chest, which made people pay attention.

Maori Kogoro immediately looked at Uemura Yuta's clenched right hand, then took out a handkerchief and walked over, using his fingers to pry open the dead man's clenched fist, and indeed found a hidden button in the dead man's palm. Judging from the pattern and specifications, it was exactly the same as the other buttons on Hoshikawa Kazuaki's clothes.

Everyone was suddenly shocked.

Shota Uemura looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki fiercely, and as if he was venting his anger, he burst out: "Hoshikawa Kazuaki! It's you, damn it! Why did you do this? Don't you know that today is the day you need to hand over the inheritance to me? But if you do this, how can you carry out the handover later?"

Conan Edogawa whispered in Hoshikawa Kazuaki's ear: "Senior Hoshikawa, what's going on? Why did you appear here just now?"

"This is just a misunderstanding. The button had already been torn off by him when Yuta Uemura and I ran into him in the corridor. It's not what you think..."

Xingchuan and Mingzheng were halfway through their explanation when they heard another commotion outside. Someone shouted, "The police are here!"

The familiar voice made Hoshikawa and Ming turn their heads suddenly, and Edogawa Conan also turned his head in disbelief, only to see that the person who had just shouted that sentence was actually someone they were both very familiar with: Amuro Toru.

Time goes back to five minutes ago.

Just when Kagino Satoshi followed the instructions of Hoshikawa Kazuaki and reminded Morobushi Kagemitsu to be careful not to be discovered by the members of the organization, Morobushi Kagemitsu had already successfully sneaked into the hotel as a maintenance worker.

With the remote command of Satoshi Kagano, he successfully avoided several possible head-on collisions with passing guests and hotel service staff, while avoiding all surveillance and walking all the way to the room where the researcher was.

However, at the same time, Melo, a member of the organization who had just completed his mission, happened to be in the corridor on the same floor, avoiding surveillance and looking around.

He had heard from Bermode that Bourbon had provoked him again. Now that the mission was over, he naturally needed to be the first to mock Bourbon, who had not yet completed the subsequent mission and could only work for the hotel in a waiter uniform.

That guy relies on the fact that he joined the organization early and is also the ace of the intelligence team, so he always makes trouble for his mission no matter why. Does he really think that I am afraid of him?

Ha! Damn Bourbon, don't let me find an opportunity, or you will pay the price sooner or later!

In Morobushi Kagemitsu's invisible earphone, Kagino Satoshi was still reporting the latest news: "The researcher has now successfully activated the room card and should have arrived at the reserved room. Wait, he's coming out! The surveillance camera at the service desk on the floor captured him walking towards the elevator. He is probably going to take the elevator to the machine room! Mr. Morobushi, follow him!"

Without Kagamine Satoshi's reminder, Morobushi Kagemitsu had already set off for the stairwell. In order to avoid a head-on collision with other people taking the elevator, he had no choice but to take the stairs. Fortunately, Morobushi Kagemitsu was agile, while the researchers had to hold their computers all the time and their movement speed was not fast, which allowed Kagamine Satoshi and Morobushi Kagemitsu to discover his whereabouts.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Zhufu, there's someone coming from the passage on the left five steps away. What should we do?"

As soon as Kagino Satoshi's bewildered voice rang out in the headset, Morofushi Keimitsu turned around and came to the door of a guest room. At the same time, he reached out and took out a magnetic card-like object and swiped it on the door lock, and the door lock opened in response.

Just as the person in the corridor was about to reach the corner of the corridor, Zhu Fu Jingguang had already silently opened the door and entered the room like a swimming fish. When he closed the door, the figure of the person in the corridor appeared at the corner of the corridor. It was a waiter pushing a cleaning cart.

Morobushi Kagemitsu didn't know what Vermode looked like after his disguise, so he simply hid from everyone with the help of Kagano Satoshi. However, when he leaned against the door quietly, listening to the sound of the waiter pushing the cart past the door, he suddenly felt something strange.

However, before Morobushi Kagemitsu could think more, Kagino Satoshi's voice came again from the headphones.

"Ahhh Mr. Zhufu, let's hurry up and chase the researcher. He has already reached the elevator door from the other side of the corridor! Oh, he's already in! He's about to enter the elevator! What should we do now? If we don't chase him, we might not be able to catch up with him later!"

Morobushi Kagemitsu made a prompt decision: "Create a malfunction in the elevator and force it to stop running!"

Kagino Satoshi obviously hadn't thought of doing this before, and upon hearing this, he actually agreed excitedly: "Okay! This is a great idea, I've wanted to do this for a long time!"

However, Morobushi Kagemitsu was not as optimistic as Kagano Satoshi. He listened attentively, and after confirming that the waiter outside the door had pushed the cart past the door of his room, he counted another twenty seconds, waiting for the waiter to push the cart past the room farther away. Morobushi Kagemitsu immediately took off his maintenance worker's coat and put it away, revealing a normal suit underneath.

"Alright! The elevator is temporarily out of service, Mr. Zhufu, go catch that researcher! Oh no, there's someone else in the corridor outside, Mr. Zhufu can't go out now, he will definitely be discovered. What should I do? If the researcher finds out that the elevator is out of service, he will quickly try his luck in another corridor!"

However, Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's actually very easy to go out." As he said that, he reached out and quickly straightened the wrinkles. After making sure that he could wear it to go out and meet people, he raised his head and his whole demeanor changed immediately.

He simply raised his hand to open the door of the room, and then walked out of the room without any guilt, as if he was a real guest staying here. Then he chose a direction with his back to the waiter and strode away calmly.

When the waiter noticed something was wrong and turned around, Morobushi Jingguang had already turned at the intersection the other party came from and completely disappeared from the other party's sight.

"It worked! Mr. Zhufu really is worthy of being an undercover agent. His disguise just now was amazing!"

Before Kagamino Satoshi could finish his flattery, Morobushi Kagemitsu paused again, and then, just like before, he found a room nearby, opened the door, and quickly went in. After closing the door again, he stuck to the door with a serious expression and listened carefully.

Kagino Satoshi asked in confusion, "Eh? Is Mr. Morobushi hiding from someone? But didn't the waiter just now leave?"

However, Morofu Jingguang did not answer this time. He did not even dare to make the slightest sound at this moment. He just listened quietly to the movement outside.

In the corridor outside his room, which was the direction the waiter had come from before turning, a man in a black casual suit and a duckbill cap was walking towards this direction, avoiding surveillance. It was precisely because of his avoidance of surveillance that Kagamino Satoshi, who had been keeping watch for Morobu Kagemitsu, did not detect his whereabouts in time from the surveillance cameras on each floor.

At this time, even through the door, Morobu Jingguang could clearly hear the other party's footsteps, which were obviously specially trained. Before he saw the other party's figure, he had already relied on his strong hearing to detect the other party's subtle sound that ordinary people could not detect, so he immediately hid in time.

However, the other party was obviously not a simple character. He was very sensitive to the slightest discord in the corridor. As soon as he entered the corridor, he whispered in a vigilant voice: "Who is there?"

However, after hearing this voice, Morofushi Jingguang's heart sank, and he felt a sense of nervousness that the situation was about to get out of his control.

Morofushi Jingguang recognized the voice; it was the "strongest newcomer" of the organization, Mello, whom he had met once during a mission to hunt down an undercover agent!
