Chapter 248

The most tense stage has passed, and Kagino Satoshi finally has time to sit down and count on his fingers a few things at hand.

Morobushi Jingguang's mission to prevent the activation of artificial intelligence has been completely completed. Now there is only one experimenter left to be taken back to the public security department.

The danger of being hunted down by Tadahiko Nishizono was also resolved. Kagano Satoshi looked at the email from Akai Shuichi that only had the word "completed" written on it, and looked at Morobushi Keimitsu's face, which was smiling but still looked serious, with a guilty conscience. He didn't dare to say anything, and quietly erased all traces manually.

So the only problem left is Xiaoxing's, right?

When Xiaoxing contacted him just now, he was busy fighting on two fronts and had no time to ask more questions. He also didn't know how Xiaoxing was doing now. Thinking of this, Kagano Satoshi took advantage of the time when Morobushi Kagemitsu was cleaning up the traces he left behind and asked in his consciousness.

Kagamino Satoshi: "Xiaoxing? What's the situation over there? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Xingchuan Kazuaki: "Why, have you finished the work at hand?"

Kagino Tomo was humiliated: "It's done, it's done. Didn't I come to you right away?"

Hoshikawa and Akira looked up at the lights above their heads which had returned to normal, and then looked at Toru Amuro and Vermouth who were about to go to the crime scene to help solve the case and to help them clear themselves of the murder charges as promised. They also gave their signature gentle smile to Mello who seemed bored and just waiting for the mission to end, which successfully made him turn his head away in silence.

After taking a look at the current situation, Xingchuan and Ming sighed and said to Kagano Satoshi, "I basically don't have much work to do here. If nothing unexpected happens, I can just wait to win without doing anything."

Kagino Satoshi: "It was so smooth? Xiaoxing solved the problem so easily? As expected of Xiaoxing, she is really amazing!"

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: "No, on the contrary, I was the one who was solved. So now I can do almost nothing except waiting to be assigned."

Kagino Satoshi was confused. It was not until the two of them briefly exchanged what had happened on their respective sides that Kagino Satoshi finally understood and asked worriedly, "So, you really decided to take this opportunity to directly infiltrate the organization? But the organization is really dangerous, and it would be too rash to do so just to gain more good reviews on the forum."

Xingchuan and Ming said helplessly: "If it was just for this, I actually have other ways to achieve the same effect. But the situation is different now. Baifu's loss of contact is no small matter. His identity as a test subject is very sensitive. In addition, the organization's attitude towards me has suddenly become more important than expected. This is probably related to the sudden situation on Baifu's side. So I must go into the organization's laboratory to see the situation. Maybe he still needs my help."

Kagino Satoshi: "So that's the case. No wonder you don't have much fear of the organization's action. But in this case, I will let Mr. Morobushi retreat on his own. As for Officer Nishihara, he has just escaped from danger, so it would be best for him to go back and rest for the time being. But as far as I know, Conan has asked Akai Shuichi to come and help, and in terms of time, he will arrive at the hotel soon. What are you going to do?"

While Hoshikawa and Ming were thinking, Toru Amuro was already greeting him from outside.

"Hoshikawa, hurry up. We are going to help you clear the charge of murder. What are you doing here, the real culprit?" Toru Amuro leaned against the door, looking at Hoshikawa and Ming. He was smiling, but anyone could hear a hint of threat in his expression.

Hoshikawa and Akira found it funny. It was Amuro-sama who usually took good care of them, but suddenly he had to treat them with such an impatient look. Even he must have felt very uncomfortable.

Hoshikawa and Akira agreed and followed Amuro Toru's instructions to the scene of the first crime where Inspector Megure was. Vermouth followed naturally. Mello was nowhere to be found again. Hoshikawa and Akira guessed that the other party was responsible for hiding in the dark and secretly monitoring their actions.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki said to Kagano Satoshi, "You see, I don't have to use my brain anymore. I just need to follow the arrangements of the organization member Bourbon. So if Akai Shuichi really comes later, they will naturally be responsible for solving the problem. I can't get a say at all."

Kagino Chi worriedly said, "But Xiaoxing, if you enter the organization like this, you will become very passive. How can you complete your plan then?"

Xingchuan Heming smiled and soothed me, "Don't worry. If I'm right, my identity will really come into play when we get to the laboratory. As for now, keeping a low profile will actually make the organization feel more at ease and make it easier for me to disguise myself. After the case is solved, the organization should arrange for me to go to the laboratory immediately. You have to tell the police officer Fu that he'd better wait until the organization members and I leave before showing up. Also, remember to ask him to give me the identity of an assistant. After I destroy the organization, I will have to rely on this identity to go back to school."

Although Kagino Satoshi still felt uneasy, he still went to communicate with Morobushi Kagemitsu obediently. Hoshikawa and Akira followed Amuro Toru and Vermouth to the first crime scene discovered by the police, which was also the place where they planned to end this farce.

Because of the massive power outage that had just occurred, most of the guests at the scene had already thought about leaving. However, because the case had not been solved, they could not leave freely, so the emotions of the crowd were much more agitated than the initial curiosity and bystander mentality.

As the undisputed protagonist of the day, Shota Uemura was even more anxious. When Hoshikawa and Ming came over, they saw him pacing back and forth in the corridor with an irritated look on his face.

Shota Uemura noticed someone coming over, looked up and saw Hoshikawa Kazuaki, a hint of malice flashed across his face, and he walked up to them and said in a hateful voice: "You murderer! How dare you come over here? Do you think you can learn to detective and solve crimes just by drawing a few ridiculous mystery comics?"

Hoshikawa Kazuaki felt ironic when he saw him still harboring illusions about the organization. In order to gain recognition from the organization, Shota Uemura put almost his entire life and his family behind him. However, the organization had already given up on him from the beginning and only used him as a tool to frame them.

Hoshikawa and Akira didn't say anything, but Amuro Toru, who was walking with him, stepped forward and stood in front of him, smiling and saying to Uemura Shota:

"That's a great coincidence. Although Hoshikawa is not a detective, my original profession is a detective, so I can just participate in the investigation. And please be careful, Mr. Kamimura. Before the police have come to a definite conclusion, they cannot directly accuse someone of a crime like 'murderer'."

However, when Shota Uemura saw Toru Amuro standing with Hoshikawa and Akira, he suddenly felt as if his throat was being strangled. He looked back and forth between the two men with a pale face. Then, as if he had been hit by something, he could not help but take two steps back, muttering to himself: "You actually chose him? Impossible! Why did you give up on me? Why did you choose that poor boy who has nothing?"

As if he had received some kind of shock, Shota Uemura staggered back two steps and was about to turn around and leave. However, Hoshikawa and Akira discovered the next second that Melo, who had been hiding somewhere before, suddenly appeared in front of Shota Uemura. Shota Uemura, who was about to leave, suddenly froze in place the moment he saw Melo.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki approached Amuro Toru with some concern and asked him in a low voice: "Brother Amuro, Mello will not do anything to Uemura Shouta, right?"

With Vermouth present, Amuro Toru had to maintain his poisonous honey persona, and it was impossible for him to have a good face towards Hoshikawa and Akira. But this was in public, and with Amuro Toru's persona as a cafe waiter, he couldn't be too cold to Hoshikawa and Akira. So he immediately resumed his previous interaction with Hoshikawa and Akira, and comforted him in a very natural whisper:

"Don't worry, Mello is just trying to intimidate Shota Kamimura, so that he will confess his guilt and not say anything he shouldn't. After all, if other people knew that the organization was involved in this matter, even if no specific information was revealed, it would still bring trouble to the organization. And the organization never likes these troubles."

Hoshikawa and Akira nodded to show that they understood, and promised that they would never cause trouble to the organization in the future. Amuro Toru pretended to be satisfied with his answer, and then, together with Bermode, handed the new testimony to Inspector Megure.

Meanwhile, Shota Uemura had already followed Melo to a deserted place, and then he said anxiously, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Master Melo, did the other master just now... make a mistake? The organization clearly promised to help me get promoted, but why would that master stand with that outsider Hoshikawa Kazuaki?"

Mello did not answer him. Instead, he raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat, and at an angle that Shota Kamimura could not see clearly, he uttered a series of low sneers.

"You are already a murderer. Even if you temporarily put the blame on Xingchuan and Ming, do you think you can really hide it? The organization is eyeing the entire Kamimura family, not a piece of trash like you who needs help to get promoted. With you like this, what qualifications do you have to continue to occupy the organization's resources and training quotas?"

Shota Uemura widened his eyes in shock and could not help but take a step back, saying in disbelief: "But, it was you, Master Mello, who asked me to do this. I am only faithfully fulfilling the organization's goals..."

However, before he could finish, Melo sneered and said sarcastically, "The organization only asked you to frame Xingchuan and Ming and leave him with nowhere to go. But it didn't say that you must kill someone with your own hands, and the person you killed was your other brother. In the end, you just wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of a threat to you. You used the organization to fulfill your selfish desires, and you kept saying that it was all for the organization?"

Melo finally turned his head to look at him, but the murderous intent hidden in those cold and sharp eyes made Shota Kamimura shudder suddenly, and the words he had prepared in advance were suddenly held back and he could no longer utter them.

Melo narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You were the one who fed the medicine, and you were also the one who wielded the knife. As an assistant, I have recorded the whole process for you. Even if I helped you dump the body into the next bathroom in the end, it does not change the fact that you are the real murderer. I advise you to confess your guilt as soon as possible, maybe you will have a chance to get out of prison in the future. If you continue to be so ignorant, when the organization is forced to take action, you will not even have a chance to confess your guilt."

"You...you guys..." Uemura's face was pale, his eyes were crazy and terrified, but his expression was full of strong unwillingness. He didn't know whether he was angry or scared, his lips were trembling but he couldn't speak.

Mello didn't say anything else, but snorted impatiently. With a turn of his wrist, the cold muzzle of the gun was pointing directly at Shota Kamimura's forehead.

"Do you still despise the current situation? Do you want me to help you sober up?"

"No! No need, I already know what to do..."

Facing the threat of death, the reluctance in Shota Kamimura's heart immediately vanished. He lowered his head in fear, closed his eyes in pain, and returned to his initial obedience. But this time, he no longer had the initial greed for the family business and the ecstasy of being chosen. What was left was the deep fear of the organization's wanton playing with human lives.

Mello sneered again, then nodded in satisfaction, put away his gun, and turned to look in the direction of the police.

"So later, you know what to say to the police, right?"

Crime scene.

"What? This reporter said she can prove that the buttons on Hoshikawa and Akira's chest were really torn off before they went to the bathroom! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?" Inspector Megure widened his eyes in shock and looked speechlessly at Toru Amuro who was smiling in front of him.

"I'm really sorry, Officer. Because the image of the person being interviewed will directly affect the popularity of the topic and the effect of this interview, I had always assumed that Mr. Hoshikawa's outfit was normal, so I didn't react when I saw him, which caused trouble for you."

Vermode, disguised as a female reporter, sincerely apologized to Inspector Megure, and was easily forgiven. At the same time, Toru Amuro immediately said:

"So, in fact, Hoshikawa Kazuaki was not the murderer of Uemura Yuta. He was just in the process of the real murderer dumping the body, and he happened to be on the phone in the bathroom stall and was unfortunately caught up. Oh, yes, I forgot to say that the person who was on the phone with Hoshikawa Kazuaki at that time was actually me. So I can fully prove that Hoshikawa Kazuaki did not have the time to commit the crime."

As he spoke, Toru Amuro took out his cell phone, looked up the call records, and gave Officer Megure a shy, apologetic smile.

"So, how come even you could make such a mistake?" Although Officer Megure complained, he trusted Amuro Toru's judgment very much. He immediately reached out to take the phone and checked the call records, then checked Hoshikawa and Akira's phones, then nodded and continued:

"So, not only is the real crime scene not in the bathroom, but even the button in the victim's hand is not evidence pointing to Hoshikawa and Akira. In addition, there is no time for the crime, so the evidence that Hoshikawa and Akira are the murderers is completely invalid."

At this time, Shota Uemura had also come back. However, unlike the angry expression on his face when he left, he now looked completely lost and depressed, as if someone had drained all his hopes at once, leaving only an empty shell that had to obey orders.

Officer Megure did not notice the change in Shota Uemura's mood. He looked at him and said in a serious tone, "So, the biggest suspect now is Mr. Shota Uemura. Please tell me why the police found blood spurts left by the deceased in the room where you rested?"
