Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"Call outside! Quick, officer!"

Nishina Nishikawa felt a slight pain in his heart. This critical situation made him feel like he was going to have a heart attack.

He grabbed Officer Megure's trouser legs tightly and begged.

Inspector Megure nodded after some hesitation, then took out his cell phone and made a call.

After a long time, I found that the call could not be connected no matter what.

Xia Chuan shook his head: "It's useless. We are fifty meters below the sea. Plus, the space is so airtight that the signal cannot be transmitted."

"Try a landline?" Conan's face didn't look very good. It seemed that the murderer wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop!

However, the result was not ideal. Not only was the elevator blocked, but the telephone lines were also cut in advance.

"What is this?" Shishido Nagaaki suddenly saw a piece of paper on the ground next to the telephone.

【Welcome everyone to my Water Crystal Restaurant. Sorry, for some reason, I can't arrive in time. Please wait for a moment. In addition, Mr. Zemu, please go to my wine cellar and take the bottle of your favorite wine from the M18 wine rack. I will give it to you as an apology for my lateness.】

"Asahi Katsuyoshi is not dead yet, he just arrived late, right?" After learning the contents of the letter, Renko Nin felt much better. Now he could only comfort himself in this way.

"That's possible, but how do you explain the elevator?" asked Peter Ford.

"Maybe it's broken. After all, we haven't started business yet, so it's normal that some equipment hasn't been debugged yet."

After saying that, Nana Oyama glanced at Natsukawa.

It's all this guy's fault. He suddenly said that Xu Shengyi was dead, which scared them so much. Now it seems to be just a false alarm.

"No, it's still not right!" Conan held his chin in his hand and thought: "Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi could have called in advance to inform everyone that he would be late, and the fact that the phone line was not connected is also very suspicious."

"Anyway, I'll go get the red wine first. I remember his wine cellar should be in this direction." Zemu Gongping's plan was just about to begin, and he naturally would not let these people leave. He turned around and went straight to the wine cellar.

Halfway through the walk, he suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, why don't we all go together? If there's anything wrong with the note, we can look out for each other."

He arranged an assassination for himself in the wine cellar. If no one else went, who would he be performing for?

The criminal plan has actually been somewhat affected. At least the problems with the elevator and telephone lines should not have been discovered so quickly.

He needs to pick himself out first!

Chapter 267 The unnecessary murderer

At this point, we can only hurry up, otherwise other problems may arise later.

"Okay, I've long wanted to see Mr. Asahi Shengyi's wine cellar. I heard that he has a collection of many precious red wines from all over the world."

"Me too. I must take photos with these famous wines later." Nana Oyamauchi said happily.

"Ahem, I want to go over and take a look too." Renke swallowed his saliva. His previous worries were much relieved with the appearance of the note. As an essay writer, he must see the fine wines of Asahi Katsuyoshi Winery to supplement his writing materials.

"Then let's all go together. We can take care of each other and there's nothing to worry about even if there's danger." Kogoro Mouri glanced at Officer Megure and thought it would be a good idea for everyone to go together.

Under the leadership of Zemu Gongping, the few of them went down one more floor and arrived at the door of the wine cellar.

"Mr. Zemu knows a lot about underwater restaurants."

"Haha, after all, I will be the manager of this place in the future. I have been here many times when it was first built, so I know this place well."

Sawaki Kouhei always felt that Natsukawa's smile was a little strange, but he still answered with a smile.

The door of the wine cellar was opened, and the cold air inside rushed out instantly.

"It's so cold." Xiaolan folded her arms and touched them. The cold wind came a little suddenly.

"This is still good, but it's not the most ideal temperature for storing red wine. The most suitable temperature for storing red wine should be between 10 and 14 degrees. Let me take a look. It's still 17 degrees here, which is a little high."

"Wow! The red wines here are world-famous and have very long vintages. It seems that Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi is indeed a wine lover!" Renke rubbed his hands excitedly, and he couldn't wait to open a bottle to try the taste.

Nana Oyamauchi standing by was dismissive of this. She was different from others. She knew that this essayist named Nishina Nishikawa was just a clown who was famous for his luck, and the food in the restaurant he recommended was really terrible.

Xia Chuan was also looking at the wine cellar carefully. The red wines in this wine cellar were indeed very rich. It seemed that there were collections of all kinds of red wines from every country.

The dazzling array of wine cabinets and wine racks are neatly arranged, holding perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands of bottles.

However, considering that Xu Shengyi is also in the red wine and Western restaurant business, this is understandable.

It's just a pity.

I'm afraid this underwater restaurant and wine cellar will disappear from this world after today.

He remembered that Zemu Kouhei finally detonated the explosives, making this ultra-modern restaurant, which had not yet opened to the public, closed to the public.

"M18 wine rack, I think it's here."

Sawaki Kouhei was scratching his head looking for the M18 wine rack, but he was actually looking for a suitable opportunity to trigger the mechanism.

He installed a trigger-type crossbow here in order to completely get rid of his suspicion and turn himself from a murderer into a victim.

Sawaki Gonghe looked back and found that the little boy named Conan was following him, as if protecting him.

I let you down.

He thought so in his heart and stepped straight into the mechanism he had designed.

Conan followed behind the other person and was alert to his surroundings. It would be good if the letter was left by Asahi Katsuyoshi. If not, then there must be something wrong with this wine cellar.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw something reflecting light under Oreki Kouhei's feet.

"Wait, Mr. Sawaki!"

As soon as Conan opened his mouth, Sawaki Kouhei's foot had already stepped on it.

At the same time, he felt a strong wind blowing beside him, as if something jumped past him.

When he came to his senses, he found that Natsukawa had replaced Sawaki Kouhei in front of him.

There was a loud crashing sound, and the M18 wine rack in front collapsed instantly. The red wine shattered and spilled, and the ground was covered with bright red liquid.

The person who caused its collapse was none other than Sawaki Kouhei.

Zemu Gongping hadn't reacted yet at this time. He just sat there in a daze, with red wine dripping on his head. The whole wine cellar was instantly filled with the rich aroma of wine.

"Fa, what happened?"

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori were attracted by the sound and ran over. They saw that Sawaki Kohei was covered in red liquid. Then they looked at the wall behind him and saw an arrow that had penetrated three-quarters of the wall. They immediately had a guess.

"Damn you Murakami-jo!"

Kogoro Mori hit the display case so hard that it almost collapsed, and he quickly stabilized it.

"It should be fine. Luckily I'm fast."

Xia Chuan patted his chest, stepped forward, pulled Zemu Gongping up, and asked with concern: "Mr. Zemu, are you okay?"

"Am I all right?"

"Is he all right?"

Conan and Sawaki Kouhei both looked at Natsukawa in silence.

Although it was well-intentioned, isn't the force a bit too much?

Although Zemu Gongping was not shot to death by the arrow, he was almost kicked to death by Xiachuan.

His butt still hurt at this time.

With this kind of force, I felt my head vibrate a little and it was a little painful.

Zemu Gongping sighed. Even without Xiachuan, he could have avoided the arrow. After all, this mechanism had been rehearsed in advance.

Of course he didn't say these words out loud, he could only grit his teeth and bear it. After all, the other person was trying to save him, and he couldn't repay kindness with evil no matter what.

"I'm glad you're okay. That arrow came with such force that I was lucky I noticed it in advance, otherwise I would have been killed by him again."

"Thank you." Zemu Gongping thanked him against his will.

Others gathered around and were relieved to find that the man was okay.

"There is a crossbow here, and there is a fishing line next to it. It looks like a mechanism that was made in advance. If you pass by here, the mechanism will be triggered and the arrow will hit your heart."

"Sure enough, Mr. Sawaki is also one of the targets!" Conan picked up the Eight of Spades next to the crossbow. Until now, he had never seen the murderer. The other party seemed to be a puppeteer, and he was like a puppet, following the rhythm.

In this way, the life or death of Asahi Shengyi has probably been determined.

To be able to do all this, the murderer must have arrived at the scene in advance to kill Asahi Shengyi.

By the way, does Murakami Takeru have any grudge against the people present?

Conan now changed his mind. He suspected that Murakami Joe might have a grudge against the people present, and was not specifically targeting Uncle Mori's relatives and friends.

Or maybe the previous ones were just a decoy, and the opponent's real target was from the Ten of Spades onwards.

Because of the attack and the broken M18 wine rack, the group no longer had the mood to drink and hurried back to the hall.

"Since things have come to this point, I won't hide it from you." Inspector Megure began to explain with a serious expression.

If we continue to conceal the truth, maybe more people will die. Instead of that, we might as well confirm with these people whether they know Murakami Takeshi or have a grudge against him.

After Inspector Megure gave a brief summary, Peter Ford frowned and said, "So this case is related to Murakami-jo. Was he the one who did it?"

"Whether it is true or not depends on whether you recognize him or not," said Kogoro Mouri.

Nana Oyama and Peter Ford shook their heads, indicating that they did not know this person.

However, Nishina Nishikawa's answer was somewhat unexpected.

It turns out that before becoming an essayist, Nishina Nishi worked as a field reporter and had interviewed the Murakami Takeshi case.

Shishido Nagaaki also had this experience. He once took a portrait of a murderer for Murakami Takeru, but it was limited to taking photos and the two had no practical communication.

"This guy you're talking about was released from prison three or four days ago, right?"

Inspector Megure: “Yes.”

"If that's the case, then it definitely has nothing to do with me."

After confirming it again and again, Nana Koyama heaved a sigh of relief, and returned to her original state, smiling and saying, "This kind of murderer and I are from two different worlds, how could he be related to me?"

"Mr. Sawaki, since Murakami attacked you, it must be because you have some grudge against him, right?"

Sawaki Kohei originally wanted to say that he knew him, but then he thought it was inappropriate. Now there are two people who know Murakami Jō, and two people who don't know Murakami Jō. It would be better for him to stand on the side of those who don't know him and disrupt Kogoro Mori's reasoning.

"No, to be honest, if Mr. Mao Li hadn't come to me today, I wouldn't have known there was such a person."

"strangeness......"

Fragmentary clues and targets that have nothing to do with the murderer. Does the murderer intend to kill indiscriminately?

Kogoro Mouri reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it, his face thoughtful as he thought about the reason.

The others were either in panic or in deep thought, only Xia Chuan looked out of the glass from time to time.

By the way, why hasn’t the body appeared yet?

He has not exposed Zemu Gongping because the body has not appeared yet.

If Asahi Katsuyoshi is confirmed dead, he will not play house with Zemu Fairy and will resolve the issue as soon as possible.

"What on earth would bring these people together?" Conan walked aside with his chin up. The case was becoming more and more strange.

His original train of thought was completely disrupted, and he already had a lot of doubts about whether Murakami Joe was the murderer.

Conan looked aimlessly at the carefree schools of fish in the ocean, with all kinds of guesses constantly colliding in his mind.

Suddenly, he felt that the light coming through the glass in front of him was blocked by something.

I thought it was a curious fish, but when I looked up, I found it was a human head.

Looking down from the head, the neck, body and feet are completely in view.

"Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi?"

Conan was horrified, he didn't expect to see the other person's body in this way. The person must be dead, it is impossible for a living person to open his eyes and mouth wide in the sea.

He also had a nine of spades pinned to his suit.

"what!"

Before Conan could warn her, Nana Koyama had already seen the body and screamed.

The whole group of people's attention was drawn to it.

Zemu Gongping sneered to himself: "The fun has just begun, it will soon be your turn!"

There are two other people who are his targets in this revenge operation.
