Chapter 242
When Hoshikawa Kazuaki was still in the bathroom cubicle, he received a call from Amuro Toru. The other party's tone was a little strange, as if he was suppressing some emotions. This was a kind of suppression that could not be found at first glance, but only those who were very familiar with and understood Amuro Toru could feel.
However, based on their previous understanding and the information they had exchanged during their previous phone call, Hoshikawa and Akira had determined that Toru Amuro was using the identity of Bourbon, a member of the organization. So he naturally believed that this sense of oppression also came from this.
However, it now appears that this is probably not the case.
Because of some special features of their bodies, Hoshikawa and Akira have extremely sharp five senses. Even the subtle sounds that others hear are very clear to Hoshikawa and Akira. But as Conan said before, why did Hoshikawa and Akira, who were in the toilet cubicle at the time, not notice any clues when the murder happened at the toilet door?
Under normal circumstances, whether someone was killing someone or moving a corpse, Xingchuan and Ming should have heard it clearly. Unless, his attention was diverted at the time, and there was a louder and clearer sound covering up the slight collision sound from the bathroom door. This is why Xingchuan and Ming's hearing was blinded and they did not discover the crime that was so close.
However, at that time, Hoshikawa Kazuaki was answering a call from Amuro Toru.
No wonder Amuro Koumei Akira was carrying out his mission as a member of the organization Bourbon, and there were probably members of the organization following him, but he insisted on calling him. At that time, Hoshikawa Kazuaki was still feeling lucky that he finally had the chance to pass on the news that Morobu Kagemitsu came to the hotel to hunt down the researcher. But he didn't expect that it was this phone call that disturbed his perception of the surroundings and delayed his time to leave the cubicle, allowing him to perfectly take the blame of the "murderer".
As for the female reporter who dealt him the fatal blow, now that I think about it, her real identity is probably the organization's witch of a thousand faces, Vermouth. No wonder she was so...happy to see him go to the bathroom when she heard his request? And she also said such confusing words afterwards.
In short, even if I didn't have this plan, she and Amuro Toru would find a way to get me there.
Amuro Toru once revealed that he would carry out a mission with Vermouth, and it seems that he was referring to the matter of framing himself. However, judging from Amuro Toru's reaction, he probably didn't know the specific content of the mission at the time, but just knew that it might be related to him, so he failed to give a clear warning in advance.
Xingchuan and Ming sighed inwardly. They had been hunting geese for years, but in the end, they were pecked in the eyes by swallows. They had always considered themselves good at arranging scripts for others, but they had never expected that now they were being arranged so clearly by others.
So now, with the organization intervening and fabricating charges against me, can I really get away with it? Even if I really solve the case and remove the identity of the suspect, will the organization let me go? No, they might just go all out and do something ruthless.
So, it was really all the comic's fault. Why did he have to understand his simple idea so deeply that it blinded his judgment and brought him directly to the organization?
At the same time, Nishizono Tadahiko also had the same feeling as Hoshikawa Kazuaki. He now deeply suspected that his mind must have been blinded by Hoshikawa Kazuaki's comic book. Otherwise, why didn't he even notice such an obvious flaw just now, and directly chased the organization member's car, stepping into the trap they had prepared long ago?
Tadahiko Nishizono chased the car that was suspected to have kidnapped Naoto Matsui for a long distance, until Satoshi Kagano reminded him in his consciousness, and then he suddenly realized that there were no hostages. He was clearly trapped by the organization. The organization had already set up an ambush on the sparsely populated road ahead, waiting for him to step in and pull the trigger on him.
Realizing this, Nishizono Tadahiko made a quick decision and immediately turned the car around to drive in the opposite direction. However, before he could drive far, he heard the sound of bullets breaking through the air behind him, followed by the sound of metal hitting the car body.
Tadahiko Nishizono didn't dare to be distracted. He dodged bullets while stepping on the accelerator towards the route chosen by Kagano Satoshi. Fortunately, he has been tracking down the lairs and gangs of various criminals over the years and has accumulated enough experience, which allowed him to barely break out of the organization's pursuit.
However, just when Nishizono Tadahiko wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Kagano Satoshi reminded him again. "Officer Nishihara, be careful, Gin is here to kill you! Don't look back, turn left at the next intersection!"
Saezono Tadahiko broke out in a cold sweat and stepped on the accelerator to the floor. Kagano Tomoya was in a panic. He had originally arranged a route for Morobushi Kagemitsu and helped monitor the location of the researchers. Now he had to arrange an escape route for Saezono Tadahiko. He was really busy.
However, because the situation on both sides was so dangerous, he could not relax on either side. Morofushi Kagemitsu naturally noticed the change in Kagino Satoshi's mentality. He had already reached the floor where the computer room was located and would soon find the researcher, so he also freed up some of his attention and said:
"What's wrong, K? Did something happen to you?"
Kagino Satoshi thought that Morobushi Kagemitsu had escaped from the organization once before, so he must be very good at this kind of thing, so he quickly told him about Nishizono Tadahiko's current situation. Morobushi Kagemitsu frowned and said:
"In this case, if there is a highly skilled sniper in the dark, it would be much easier for Xiyuan to escape the pursuit. Unfortunately, I can't get away now, so I can only contact the sniper at the public security department and rush over now."
Kagino Satoshi's eyes turned when he heard this, and he refused, "No, I've got a solution. Mr. Morofu, please go to the thirteenth room on the right side of the passage. The researcher is in there now! Oh, no, the other party has already turned on the computer, we must hurry over to stop him!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang's face darkened when he heard this. He no longer cared about anything else and immediately rushed towards the target room.
At the same time, Kagano Satoshi used his temporary control over Morobushi Keimitsu's phone to send a message to Akai Shuichi, who had completed his FBI mission and was rushing towards the banquet hall where Conan was.
At the same time when Nishizono Tadahiko realized that he had fallen into a trap, outside the lounge next to the banquet hall, Conan, like Hoshikawa and Akira, had already realized that today's murder was clearly a trap set up against Hoshikawa and Akira.
The other party went through a lot of trouble to frame Xingchuan and Ming as murderers. But why did the other party do this?
Conan didn't have time to think about it, and decided to clear Xingchuan and Ming's name first. He once again guided the police's thinking in the right direction with a few words, just like before. However, the next second, he suddenly had a terrible feeling as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast.
Conan was alert and immediately looked in a direction that he felt was dangerous. However, when he turned around, before he could see who was over there, he was blocked by Amuro Toru who appeared out of nowhere. At the same time, the chilling feeling of being watched disappeared.
Amuro Toru had a cheerful smile on his face, like a waiter at the Polo Cafe. He bent down warmly to greet Conan, and at the same time reached out to touch his head, as if he was gently comforting a child. However, Conan could feel that Amuro Toru's fingers on his head were tapping quickly and regularly.
It's Morse code!
Conan immediately focused his attention and read it carefully. The content of the Morse code was very simple, meaning: hide. Amuro Toru asked him to hide? Could it be that he was really discovered by someone just now?
Conan raised his head and looked at Amuro Toru's smiling face, but he nodded invisibly at him, and then said in a tone of praise that was obviously to help cover up:
"So that's how it is. Conan was imitating the lines from the TV show he saw a few days ago. He is indeed a very smart child. He can even memorize such a long line, and he can recite it fluently in similar cases. However, the child's detective game should be left for later. Now it's a police investigation, and we can't interrupt them in the middle of it."
Mao Lilan immediately apologized and said that she would definitely support Conan and stop him from interfering in the police investigation. Conan finally did not refute, which was rare, and he tacitly agreed with what Amuro Toru said.
He had figured it out. It was clear that Toru Amuro was now using his identity as a member of the organization to cover up his actions. And he could not let Toru Amuro's identity as a member of the organization be questioned for personal reasons.
So, the person who was targeting me just now was indeed someone from the organization, right? Only for this reason would Toru Amuro rush out to block my sight before I could discover the other person's identity. He was actually protecting himself.
However, I was just giving a simple guide to the case, why did I directly attract such blatant malice from the organization members? Unless the organization did not want Xingchuan and Ming to be cleared of their grievances. Because they were the masterminds who framed Xingchuan and Ming as murderers.
Conan turned around silently and looked at Hoshikawa and Akira who were surrounded by the police and looked embarrassed. This feeling was really terrible. He watched his companions fall into trouble and he could not do anything. In this situation, what should he do to rescue Hoshikawa and Akira from the sight of the organization?
By the way, since the direct solution doesn't work, I can seek help from outside! I don't know if Mr. Akai has finished his work at the FBI. In this situation, he is the only one who can help!
Conan immediately took out his own children's phone, shielded the screen with his body, and sent an email to Akai Shuichi. Akai Shuichi replied quickly, saying that the work on the other side had been completed, and he had kept his previous agreement with Conan and was on his way.
However, before Conan could breathe a sigh of relief, Shuichi Akai sent another message, asking Conan to delay for a while as long as possible without being noticed by the organization and ensuring his own safety. He suddenly received an emergency call for help and needed to save someone.
Conan: What's going on? Who is Mr. Akai suddenly trying to save?
