Chapter 79 Cointreau Chapter·Variation

"Mrs. Nakamichi! Please be more specific!"

"Ah...?" Frightened by Conan Edogawa's sudden shout, the woman who had just lost her husband still had tears on her face. She subconsciously recalled, "I didn't hear it very clearly. I only heard these two words..."

"You kid! You scared Mrs. Nakamichi!" Before the little boy could ask anything else, Maori Kogoro quickly punched him on the head, pushed him aside, straightened his bow tie, and showed a rare serious expression on his face. He looked very reliable, "Please use this handkerchief to wipe your tears."

The eye shadow on her face brought a different kind of beauty. Nakamichi Emi took the neatly folded gray handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks. He whispered thanks.

"It's not good to have such a beautiful face stained by tears."

This old man! He's still not in a good mood at this time!

The little detective who was driven aside frowned, turned his back to the few people and rolled his eyes in a very speechless manner, with the word "disdain" on his face, and then his eyes fell on the mobile phone with a hole shot through it.

There may be important intelligence of the organization in it, but... this degree of damage is probably completely unrecoverable. Would Nakamichi Chengji only keep such an important thing in his mobile phone?

He narrowed his eyes and searched the body of the dead man. When Nakamichi Narimi fell, the hem of his suit jacket lifted slightly, revealing his belt and shiny buckle. He saw a not very obvious bulge in the right pocket of the man's suit pants, so he reached out to touch it.

"...There's something here!"

The boy's childish cry came from the side. Inspector Megure was already used to seeing the other party shuttle around the murder scene and discover some strange and key details. The fat police officer turned his head and motioned Takagi Wataru to check.

"It's a USB flash drive!" Takagi Wataru took out the hard object from the dead man's pocket with gloves.

"Mrs. Nakamichi, do you know what's in this USB drive?" Because the deceased was most likely silenced, Inspector Megure's expression became more serious because of this thing that could store a huge amount of information.

"No, I don't know. USB drives all look the same, I can't tell..." Nakamichi Emi recalled it carefully, then suddenly thought of something and widened her eyes.

"Once! When I was sleeping, I seemed to have touched something under my pillow. It was small, cold and hard. When I asked him what it was, he didn't say anything, just said it was very important... But when I asked him again the next day, Cheng Shi seemed to remember nothing. I thought I just had a dream..."

"If that's it." Inspector Megure frowned and said to the people behind him, "Find a device that can read USB flash drives."

"I have one in my car." Takagi Wataru said beside him. Computers are generally used to receive some video files. Surveillance images are more suitable to be viewed on the larger screen of the computer than on a mobile phone. Every time he goes to the crime scene, he will put the computer in the car in case of emergency.

In less than five minutes, plainclothes police officers retrieved the laptop from the car downstairs. Several adults and a child squatted in front of the computer and carefully inserted the USB flash drive in their hands into the USB flash drive interface.

There was nothing. The data was cleaned up completely. There was even a virus software that instantly ejected from the USB flash drive into the poor laptop. Even though the USB flash drive was quickly pulled out, the old and dilapidated computer still made a roaring sound as if it was struggling to run. The screen flickered several times as if struggling, and finally retired with honor.

Takagi Shigeru's originally serious expression gradually turned into a dull one. Then, he hurriedly went up to check the notebook that had passed away, and cried, "My computer..."

Even Asuka felt that this police officer was too miserable. For some reason, honest people in this world may always carry a strange bad luck buff. The last person with such bad luck was Morobushi Kagemitsu.

"Ahem..." Officer Megure seemed to have the same idea as him, and his face showed a bit of an indescribable expression. Finally, he patted Takagi Shigeru on the shoulder and whispered, "It's considered a work injury, it can be reimbursed... From this point of view, the things in this USB flash drive are likely to have been deleted by someone in advance."

"That's it!" Maori Kogoro echoed, "I have deduced it all, it must be like this! The murderer thought that Mr. Nakamichi Chengji had important information about him, so he decided to silence him. He first sneaked into the lounge when Mr. Nakamichi was not there, deleted the information in the USB flash drive, and then took the opportunity to poison him.

After Mr. Nakamichi died of the poison, he quickly shot the phone with his pistol, destroying the information inside! But the murderer must not have expected that Mr. Matsuo would seal off the scene so quickly. As long as everyone here is searched, they will definitely find the guy who is still carrying the ** on him!"

"Now everything is clear. Good! Increase the intensity of the investigation immediately. The murderer may have hidden the gun somewhere. Those in charge of the lounge should focus on searching the possible locations of the guns. The murderer can throw away the gun, but the smoke reaction will definitely be detected! We will do another smoke test after we find the gun!"

After giving instructions to the other side through the intercom, Officer Megure finally put on a relieved look on his face and patted Maori Kogoro's shoulder vigorously, "I didn't expect that we could solve the case so quickly today, Maori brother!"

"Hahaha..." The other party laughed unceremoniously with his hands on his hips, "After all, I am a famous detective!"

No, it is impossible that he was killed by the organization. Beside the few people, Edogawa Conan still frowned, obviously not accepting this inference.

He knew the style of the organization very well. This poison that could not be released at any time was like gambling. It was entirely possible that Nakamichi Chengshi would start his speech in advance and expose all the secrets of the organization to the media before the poison took effect. That organization would definitely not adopt this method to silence people!

The most likely thing was to arrange a sniper on the opposite side of the building and shoot him before he opened his mouth. This would not only ensure that he would never spit out any unfavorable news, but also have a deterrent effect.

"How amazing!" the boy shouted at this moment, deliberately pretending to be sincere under the questioning eyes of others, "The murderer gave Mr. Nakamichi the poison at the right time, and let Mr. Nakamichi die of the poison just before he could speak. Isn't it amazing! If it was a little later, wouldn't his secret be told directly?"

"Oh, yes..." Takagi Shigeru lowered his head and thought, "If the murderer wanted to silence Mr. Nakamichi, why would he use poisoning?"

"Well, maybe he is afraid of being discovered that he is the murderer. Wouldn't it be easier to get rid of suspicion if he poisons him?" said Maori Kogoro.

"But..." Edogawa Conan quickly said in a cute way, "The murderer dared to smash the phone with a gun in public, why did he use such a sneaky method to kill Mr. Nakamichi? It's so strange..."

If his guess is correct, the organization was responsible for smashing the phone and exchanging the USB drive. As for the poison... the murderer might be someone else.

Fortunately, Mr. Matsuo sealed the place very quickly, and that guy definitely won't escape from here!

"Sir, where are you from?!"

The sudden commotion at the door pulled Conan Edogawa out of his thoughts. He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at a very familiar man running in from the banquet door.

The man was wearing a waiter's uniform, and his curly brown hair and beautiful round eyes made him look like a college student working part-time during the holidays.

The others were sent to look for the pistols hidden somewhere. There were no police or Matsuo Kazushi's bodyguards guarding the door. There were less than 20 people in the empty banquet hall, crowded under the podium, far from the door.

"Sorry - I accidentally fell asleep in the storage room." He seemed embarrassed, with an awkward and green smile on his face. "After I woke up, my colleague said something happened and asked me to come here to do something... a body search or something?"

"It's a body search." Takagi Wataru said, taking out the detector that he had just put away.

"I didn't expect there would be such a reckless guy. I thought all the waiters here were like that..." Suzuki Sonoko whispered, "But he's very handsome. He feels a bit like Mr. Amuro, but also completely different."

If you have to say, both of them are very sunny types. But if Toru Amuro is like an older brother who can do everything, then this reckless waiter is probably like a very spoiled younger brother at home.

"Yeah... where are you going, Kirito?"

"To the bathroom." Asuka Kiri walked out without stopping for a moment, then he turned his head with a helpless expression, "Sonoko... if you send a photo to Mr. Kyogoku, don't choose that one."

The girl with the headband paused while pressing the send button, and smiled twice with a pleading look as if she was caught suddenly, "Because this photo is beautiful."

"Huh?" Mao Li Ran leaned over to look, and saw that in the photo, a brightly dressed girl was smiling brilliantly at the camera, and her slender white arms were holding the white-haired boy in an apricot suit next to her in an intimate manner that did not exceed the scope of friends.

The latter carefully protected the juice in the former's hand, fearing that the liquid inside would spill out and stain the girl's skirt.

The combination of bright yellow and apricot is indescribable, as if it was specially customized.

"Sonoko--"

"Haha... I just want to see how Jin looks when he's jealous." Suzuki Sonoko smiled and waved her hands, "Because Jin usually looks dull and honest, it makes people curious about what he would look like when he's jealous. Maybe he would assert his sovereignty domineeringly!"

Then you can't push me into the fire pit. Asuka Mizuki's right eyelid twitched in shock at the little girl's behavior of selling out her teammates on a whim.

If it really gets out... I can just pack up and live in another city! A jealous Super Saiyan, it's scary to think about it.

Complaining like this, the white-haired boy did not forget the business, and continued to walk out of the banquet hall.

At the same time, Edogawa Conan was frozen in place.

That guy... if he suddenly changed his clothes, he must have something up his mind, right? ! And he remembered that when they met in the park before, the other party had a gun on his waist. Now...

he squinted his eyes, quickly adjusted the lens to zoom in, and saw a little unnatural curve on the other party's jacket at the waist.

That man is still carrying a gun! He actually broke in so openly, he wanted to...

Edogawa Conan quickly ran towards the man, making up excuses, "I'm going to the toilet--"

"Be careful--"

When he was less than ten meters away from the man, the man seemed to run too fast and bumped into Suemikatsu Sosuke who happened to be passing by the dining table. The latter's wheelchair hit the table hard. He reached out and grabbed the tablecloth to barely steady himself. The cups and plates on the table were pulled by the tablecloth and fell to the ground, turning into pieces all over the floor.

In order to minimize the impact on Suemitsu Sosuke, the man tried to dodge to the side and fell to the ground. Asuka Kiri, who was closest to the others, quickly helped him up, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" The man's face instantly turned red. He first went over to ask about the condition of the gentleman who was obviously in a very bad condition, and then waved his hand and said, "Thank you."

"It's okay, go and search him." Asuka Kiri replied coldly and continued to walk out.

"Okay." Takagi Shigeru scanned carefully with the detector, "No reaction. You can move freely, but please do not leave the top floor until the case is solved."

How could there be no abnormality? !

When Conan Edogawa looked at the man's waist again, the uncoordinated wrinkles had disappeared.

He remembered the inexplicable fall just now, and hurried to the dining table to check, but after searching underneath carefully, not to mention the pistol, the bottom of the long table that was completely covered by the tablecloth was so clean that there was not even a speck of dust.

Could it be that I really saw it wrong...?

Outside the door, the white-haired boy nodded to the police officer who was searching the decorative vases in the corridor, and walked towards the bathroom. After closing the door of the cubicle, the boy's expression, which had always been frozen, cracked.

"Tsk, I finally passed."

He took out the pistol from his waist, which still retained the body temperature of the previous person.
