They are Nana Oyamauchi and Nishikana Nishina.

Among the thirteen targets, he only wanted to kill four people. The others were innocent, so he did not kill those who were not the real targets at the beginning.

The other two targets were Hiroki Tsuji, who luckily survived, and Katsuyoshi Asahi, who died in the sea in front of him.

If the next action is not discovered, he will not kill innocent people. If he is discovered...

Although the loss of his taste buds made him despair, his anger only clouded his reason, and he did not intend to go to jail.

He installed a lot of explosives in the water crystal. As long as there was a possibility that Kogoro Mori could solve the case, he would detonate them and kill everyone who might know that he had committed murder.

If there are no survivors, he will naturally escape.

"There didn't seem to be any obvious injuries on the body."

Kogoro Mori stood in front of the glass and looked out, but because he couldn't touch it, he couldn't see the cause of death clearly.

Just when he wanted to change the angle to observe better.

Suddenly a black shadow rushed past, and the corpse disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the spot.

Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure were shocked.

"The body is gone?"

"What was that just now?"

Not only the two of them were startled, but others as well.

The case was already very strange, and then suddenly this happened, it was almost life-threatening.

"It's a shark!" Xia Chuan replied, "The one that just ran to the glass and took away Asahi Shengyi was a shark."

Because the body disappeared, everyone returned to their seats in the living room and began to discuss how to leave.

With Oreki Kouhei's guidance, they found the fire escape of the water crystal, which could be used to escape in case of an accident.

However, since Zemu Gongping dared to say it, it proved that he was prepared.

The fire escape was blocked by cement and couldn't be opened even a crack.

"Asahi Katsuyoshi is number nine, Sawaki is number eight. If he didn't change the order of killing, you would be the next person to die, right?" Shishido Nagaaki had no awareness of being number six at all. He didn't know what it meant to feel grief over the death of a rabbit. He looked at Koyamauchi Nana with a smile on his face.

“Hey, are you sick?” Nana Koyama was scared to begin with, and when she heard that, she went berserk: “I’m telling you, you’d better keep your mouth shut, or I’ll kill you before Murakami-jo does anything to you!”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t get excited, I’m just talking, and when we were looking for wine just now, we checked the entire underwater restaurant, and there’s no one else here, so it’s impossible for Murakami Jō to show up.

Even if he has other means, nothing will happen as long as we stay in the lobby and wait for rescue."

This is why Shishido Nagaaki is not worried at all. As long as he can survive, the murderer cannot kill him!

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Conan was suddenly stunned.

Yes, there is no way that Murakami Joe can come to the underwater restaurant at this time.

If that was the case, he would have used other means to wipe them out at once, such as the simplest method of filling the underwater restaurant with sea water.

Why did they set up a trap to get Mr. Sawaki to go to the wine cellar? Isn't this a bit unnecessary?

Why work separately when we can solve it together?

"Could it be..."

Conan's face was solemn, and his eyes swept across the faces of everyone present. "If that's the case, he will probably do it again. I have to find him before he does it again. I can't let him kill again!"

After setting a flag, Conan began to shift his attention to the people at the scene.

"Okay, stop arguing, drink something and calm down." Zemu Gongping stood up and signaled everyone to stay calm. "I'll go get a few bottles of water, you guys wait here."

Watching Zeki Kouhei leave, Conan thought thoughtfully, could it be him?

"I remember there seems to be beer in the kitchen refrigerator. Hey, Conan, go get me a bottle."

"..."

"I want one too. Little boy, remember to bring one for me." Shishido Nagaaki greeted.

"You are the brat..." Conan nodded helplessly and headed towards the kitchen.

He just wanted to see if Zemu Gongping was really going to get water or do something else. Now in his eyes, the people invited by Asahi Shengyi in the underwater restaurant were all suspects.

(Ask for monthly ticket)

Chapter 268 I saw the murderer committing the crime!

Conan followed Sawaki Kouhei to the kitchen and found that he did not get any water but was standing in front of a cabinet.

In his hand he held a transparent glass bottle containing red powder.

He opened the bottle cap, dipped his little finger in some powder and put it in his mouth.

"Mr. Sawaki, the mineral water should be in the refrigerator." Conan reminded kindly.

"Really? I understand."

Zemu Gongping did not explain why he wanted to taste the pepper. He nodded slightly, put down the glass bottle, opened the refrigerator, took out the water and left.

After the other party left, Conan found a chair to use as a step and started to pick up the glass bottles on the cabinet.

"Ok?"

After careful inspection, I found that the row of glass bottles that the other party had just tried were all filled with chili powder.

Moreover, the pepper that the other party just picked up and tried was marked as extra spicy.

"it's wired."

Can a sommelier eat such spicy food?

Conan frowned, noted this suspicious point, took two bottles of beer and two bottles of drinks and left.

After experiencing one accident after another, everyone lost interest in visiting the underwater restaurant and discussed how to leave.

"Don't worry, Shiratori knows we are here. If we can't get in touch, he will definitely bring people here." Officer Megure comforted him, "Don't panic, as Mr. Shishido said, Murakami is not here, even if he wants to do something, he can't do it.

But the prerequisite is that everyone stays in the hall and does not run around to avoid touching any mechanisms.

Support from the Metropolitan Police Department will arrive by tonight at the latest."

After being comforted by Inspector Megure, the several invited guests present finally felt a lot more at ease.

Nana Koyama, who was originally worried that she would be the next victim, has returned to normal and even has the mind to paint her blemished nails with nail polish.

"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"

Conan found that Xiaolan was depressed. Since she came down, Xiaolan seemed to have something on her mind.

"Among the people present are all those from 2 to 8, but what about 1?"

"Hmm?" Conan was confused.

Xiaolan said to herself: "I think the 1 is referring to Shinichi, right? Did that guy come here secretly as well?"

Conan was a little annoyed that his big size made Xiaolan worry, and he comforted her softly:

"Sister Xiaolan, we have checked the entire underwater restaurant, and we can't find Murakami, let alone Brother Shinichi. And I just contacted Brother Shinichi yesterday. He is solving a case in Europe right now."

"Really?" Xiaolan obviously didn't believe it.

"Of course, Brother Shinichi should be on the train from Istanbul to Calais, France right now."

"Brother Natsukawa also knows that Shinichi is in Europe?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

By the way, why is she the only one who doesn’t know where Shinichi went?

"Of course. I just heard about it yesterday. It is said that someone died in the car and the murderer is still in the car. He is working with a famous detective to solve the case."

"Are Natsukawa-san and Shinichi also very familiar with each other?"

"That's not the case. I have a lot of friends. I heard from my friends that he was also in that car and is a suspect."

At first, Conan was surprised why Natsukawa said that he had also contacted his main account, but he rolled his eyes when he heard the rest.

What? On the train from Istanbul to Calais, France, isn't this the Orient Train Murder Case?

Fortunately, Xiaolan was not very familiar with detective novels, and most of what she knew were from what she heard about Sherlock Holmes' cases from him.

By the way, the detective who teamed up with his big brother was Poirot, right?

Although he prefers Sherlock Holmes, he has to admit that Poirot is also very good.

So Conan nodded frantically, "So Sister Xiaolan, don't worry about Brother Shinichi, he is definitely not here."

"All right......"

Xiaolan forced a smile, feeling less worried.

"Uncle Natsukawa, thank you." Conan thanked him meaningfully.

"What are you thanking me for? I just think that if Xiaolan continues to be in a daze like this, it will be very dangerous when something happens later."

"Huh?" Conan's eyes widened. He thought Natsukawa meant that he already knew that he was Kudo Shinichi and was helping him hide his identity. Could it be wrong?

Just as Conan thought of this, the lights in the hall flickered for no apparent reason.

The flashing lights combined with the secret-room-like reality of the underwater restaurant seemed a bit scary.

Boom——

Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble, and then the lights in the hall dimmed completely.

"What happened!" Maori Kogoro shouted loudly: "Everyone stand still and don't move. Be careful of hidden weapons."

"Maybe there's something wrong with the power distribution room." Officer Megure is very experienced and immediately figured out the cause of the noise. "Don't move. There must be a backup power supply here! It should start automatically in a moment."

Conan half-crouched on the ground, looking left and right. The shaking made it impossible for him to stand, and he had no time to turn on the watch-shaped searchlight.

"Wait! What is that?"

In the darkness, Conan suddenly discovered that something was glowing.

It was a light that was somewhat purple, and this color of light was particularly bright in this dark environment.

The purple light disappeared inexplicably after a brief glimpse, which seemed a little puzzling.

"Oh no, it's Nana Koyama!"

Conan secretly cried out inwardly that something was wrong, that color was very similar to the color of Nana Koyama's nail polish. He tried to steady himself and turned on the flashlight to check the situation.

However, when he turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the place where the light had just appeared, he found Nana Koyama lying motionless on the ground with a dagger stuck in her back.

"Damn it, who is it?"

The next moment, the backup power supply started up and the light in the hall was restored.

"Nana Koyama is dead..."

Kogoro Mouri's face turned green. The murderer actually dared to kill someone in front of him.

"We've clearly checked, there's no way there's anyone else here." Shishido Nagaaki was a little dazed.

He dared to tease Oyamauchi Nana only after he was sure that Murakami Jō was not here.

Now that the other person is dead, according to the order of the playing cards, he will be the next to die!

"It couldn't have been Murakami-jo." Conan said after checking, "The time from being stabbed to the light coming on was no more than three seconds. It's absolutely impossible to kill someone and leave within three seconds."

"Is the murderer among us?" Kogoro Mouri glanced at everyone, trying to find some clues from their expressions.

After examination, Nana Koyama was confirmed dead. She only screamed once from beginning to end and there were no clues.

However, because of Kogoro Mori's inference just now, everyone began to be wary of each other.

Even Inspector Megure, who is a police captain, was suspected by the invitees.

After all, the reason for getting together was too strange, and Inspector Megure concealed the situation at first, causing the invitees to be a little distrustful of him.

However, this scene is exactly what Zemu Gongping wants to see.

The more chaotic the situation is, the more opportunities he has to take action, and he still has another target.

"Well...actually, I saw the murderer in the dark just now." Xia Chuan coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention.

"How can it be!"

"Really? Brother Natsukawa!" Inspector Megure's eyes lit up. It was indeed the right choice to ask Natsukawa to participate in this case. He didn't expect that under such circumstances, Natsukawa could still find the murderer!
