[Conan] I just want to be a magician quietly

Wakagi Ryo threw Lucky 0 onto Kudo Yusaku very easily, and then stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the suburbs.

The smell of blood in the car was a bit too strong, as if a bleeding corpse was right next to him, and even the air inside the car became sticky.

Kudo Yusaku covered his mouth and nose with a little discomfort, but did not ask anything more.

Wakagi Ryo glanced at the rearview mirror and pressed the button for ventilation in the car.

"Sorry, my child didn't know how to control his severity. Please be patient, Mr. Kudo."

Kudo Yusaku:?

This direction is to the cemetery?

"The things at the book signing were also yours?"

Wakagi Ryo: No, it was just because there were too many death gods present.

"I guess so."

"Reason?"

Wakagi Ryo smiled slightly, "The manga artist I admire finally held a book signing event. Does it count as giving him an unforgettable gift?"

Kudo Yusaku: ...

This gift is indeed unforgettable. If nothing unexpected happens, Ryo-kun will never hold a second book signing event in his life.

"So, what is your purpose in stopping me?"

"Thomas Schindler, you said you would find him."

Kudo Yusaku was stunned for a second, then immediately reacted and subconsciously looked at the trunk.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yusaku, you found him."

----------------------

Book signing event

Conan lay on the ground and carefully searched for clues for a long time. During this period, he almost bumped into Hattori Heiji who was also lying on the ground looking for clues.

He patted the dust on his knees and climbed up.

"It's not a snake."

On the other side, Hattori Heiji also patted the dust on his body.

"Yes, indeed, there are no snake marks."

It had just rained a little outside two hours ago, and everyone's soles were more or less covered with dust. But there were only messy footprints around the poisoned girl, without any winding traces.

The white horse detective raised his head from the computer, "From the surveillance, no one around Miss Inoue bent down or squatted before and after she was poisoned, so we can rule out the possibility that the murderer carried a poisonous snake with him."

Conan: "In other words, the murderer used some kind of modified syringe, and deliberately made it into the shape of snake teeth to confuse the audience."

Hatsuori: "And the injured part is the calf, near the ankle. The murderer is very likely to have modified his shoes in some way, hiding the syringe in the sole of the shoe, sneaking close to Miss Inoue during the chaos, and then injecting the snake venom into her body through the syringe."

The three detectives looked at each other tacitly, rewound the surveillance video to before the scream, and found a man wearing high-top rain boots who deliberately approached the victim among the layers of figures.

The murderer who dared to poison in public had a sense of crisis.

After feeling the gaze of the Grim Reaper*3, the man in rain boots quietly retreated slowly under the cover of the crowd...

Kaito Kuroba, who had noticed the movement here early, silently stretched out a leg and tripped the man in rain boots on the road he had to take.

Then he continued to carefully use the knife to draw a few small crosses around Miss Inoue's wound to squeeze out some of the poisonous blood.

"Catch him!"

The man in rain boots fell to the ground and was suppressed by Officer Sato who followed closely behind with a scissor kick.

Kogoro Mori and Inspector Megure rushed over from the left and right to take off the thick rain boots on his feet. As expected, at the bottom of his right boot, they found two thin syringes that were fixed, the size of a fountain pen refill.

The tip of the syringe was modified to resemble the shape of a venomous snake's fangs, and there was still a little venom inside the syringe hose.

As the Detective (Death) Detective (God)*4 surrounded him, feeling the aura of the Grim Reaper, the man in rain boots, Shinichi Yamaguchi, immediately knew the situation and began to follow the procedures.

After crying, kneeling and confessing, he gave a confession that made the detectives and police present change their faces.

"What did you say?!"

Hattori frowned. If it weren't for Officer Sato staring at him, Hattori Heiji would have stepped forward to grab Yamaguchi's collar and shake him to see if he could shake some water out of his head.

Conan's expression was a little gloomy. He turned around and went to find Sonoko first. After explaining that the "running venomous snakes" were just a misunderstanding, he watched Miss Sonoko control the situation in an orderly manner, while he frowned and came to the first two bodies that died of potassium cyanide.

Hakuba took out his pocket watch, which was said to have an error of less than 0.1 seconds, and looked at it.After a while, the police temporarily evacuated the crowd at the entrance of the venue to make room for the medical staff who were about to arrive with a stretcher.

After handling these trivial matters, several detectives gathered together with a rather sad face as they watched Miss Inoue being safely sent to the ambulance.

Maori Kogoro took out a wrinkled cigarette and held it in his mouth, but did not light it, just biting the cigarette butt.

"So, our progress is back to square one. Unless the dead can talk, today's case is a dead end."

Hattori Heiji looked at the first victim, Watanabe Hirao.

According to the confession of the rain boots man Yamaguchi, he actually didn't know Miss Inoue at all, but as an unemployed vagrant who was addicted to small steel balls, he owed Watanabe Hirao a lot of money, which he was unable to repay.

A few days ago, Watanabe found him, handed him a photo of Miss Inoue and a modified syringe filled with snake venom, and told him that this woman would attend the Blue Bird's autograph session in a few days.

As long as Yamaguchi can find an opportunity to poison this woman, his 5 million debt with Watanabe can be written off.

"There are too many unreasonable places."

Hattori Heiji squatted down and looked at the two bodies placed side by side.

"First of all, the first victim, Watanabe Hirao, lent money to Yamaguchi again and again, knowing that he was an unemployed vagrant addicted to gambling, until the accumulated amount reached 5 million.

Although 5 million is not a big number, judging from Watanabe Hirao's income, he doesn't seem to be someone who can easily take out this money."

Hakuba Tan and Conan nodded in agreement.

Maori Kogoro, whose commission fee is basically around 500,000, suddenly felt like an arrow in his heart.

No, it's not a big sum of money?

"Secondly, given that Watanabe Hirao is already dead, why didn't Yamaguchi give up his plan to poison him?"

Mouri Kogoro: ...

"Maybe, because there are too many people here, he didn't see clearly that it was his creditor who died."

Conan, Hattori and Hakuba ignored the Maori elimination method.

"Also, why did Watanabe want to kill Miss Inoue? What is the relationship between Mr. Takahashi, who died after Watanabe, and them?"

Conan thought that after solving a problem, the situation would become much simpler.

But he didn't expect that the case would go around and around and return to the starting point again.

Morobushi Kagemitsu, who has been watching until now, feels a little painful in his brain because of a series of events and clues. Once again, he is sure that although his brain is still smart, he is really not a detective.

It seems that this case cannot be solved for a while. Morobushi Kagemitsu chose a place to stand against the wall and quietly watched the detectives' selfless reasoning.

Liang Jun complained about Kudo Shinichi every day, and he was right. A primary school student jumping up and down next to a corpse, any normal person would think it was wrong.

With such a high-profile action, aren't you afraid of attracting Gin's attention... Oh, because he killed too many people, Gin never bothered to remember the names of the dead, right?

That's fine.

Jingguang complained silently in his heart, and suddenly saw a flash of light on the tall building in the distance, facing the direction of here.

Zhufu Jingguang, who was not bad at sniping, immediately became alert.

He walked to the window quietly, looking like he was tired of standing and wanted to find a place to lean on and rest.

Then he secretly took out the mobile phone modified by Wakagi Liang from his arms, quietly aimed the camera at the place where the flash just happened, and adjusted the focal length to the maximum.

After taking the photo, Jingguang took back the phone, looked at the person whose face was only captured by one-third in the photo, and took a breath of cold air.

They had worked together for a while, so he was very familiar with this face.

Jingguang, wearing the skin of Wakaki Ryo, edited the text messages and sent them to Wakaki Ryo and his childhood friend Furuya Rei.

[I think I saw Chianti, she was holding a sniper outside the venue. ]
