Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"Mr. Hanchuan Long is dead!"

The first person to speak was Kogoro Mouri, who immediately checked the body.

"The deceased was shot in the right eye and died instantly. He didn't seem to put up any resistance, but his room showed signs of being ransacked." Conan looked at Xia Chuan solemnly, "Uncle Xia Chuan, I remember you mentioned a killer named Scoobing before, right?"

Conan had heard the name of this killer as early as the Blue Castle.

Later, he learned about this killer through Dr. Agasa.

Hanchuan Long's death was exactly the same as Shi Kaobing's killing method.

Originally, he would not easily link Hanchuan Long's death with Shi Kaobing.

But one of the two sniper bullets collected by police last night was the same model as the bullet used in the gun used by Scott.

Just now when these people were chatting on the splint, Hanchuan Long also showed a ring from the Romanov dynasty.

He searched the room and found nothing missing. The only thing missing was the antique from the Romanov dynasty.

Combining all of the above, the possibility of Shi Kaobing being a soldier is as high as 90%.

"Mr. Ryu Kamikawa died no more than fifteen minutes ago." said Kogoro Mori.

"We were on the deck just now, and no one left via the lifeboat."

After Xiachuan finished speaking, Conan turned around and looked at everyone. If his guess was correct, Shi Kaobing was among them.

But who is it?

Glancing at the impossible person, the only ones left are secretary Nishino Masato, Russian secretary Chinnikov, art dealer Inui Shoichi, photographer Kamikawa Ryu, researcher Urashi Qinglan, Kosaka Natsumi and his butler.

Seven people in total.

Considering that when leaving the art museum yesterday, Natsumi Kosaka, her butler, and secretary Masato Nishino were all at the entrance of the museum, there should not be enough time, and there are only four suspects left.

Chitnikov, Qian Jiangyi, Kanchuan Long and Pu Siqinglan.

Among these four people, one is Shi Kaobing!

At the same time, Xia Chuan was also looking at these people.

Scoobing doesn't need to be found, but Binga does.

Xiachuan suspected that Binga was hiding among these people after disguising himself.

There is a 100% chance that Binga has disguised himself, and only disguise can explain why Gin knew that Rum sent people to Neon.

The winery's disguise cannot avoid the point of Vermouth. Given Vermouth's personality, it is very likely that after helping with the disguise, she will tell Gin about it.

As the strongest traitor in the winery, Vermouth is probably no worse than anyone else when it comes to disgusting his teammates.

Rum had obviously suffered a loss.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, have you also discovered that there is something wrong with these people?"

Natsukawa's performance did not escape Conan's eyes.

"No, I'm just looking for Hattori, where are the others?"

"Uh..." Conan rolled his eyes. He should have asked about Hattori's news earlier. Why wait until now?

However, he still explained: "Brother Hattori was injured when he sent me to Osaka Bay last night. He is being treated in the hospital and may not be able to help in the future."

"It seems that swordsmanship is not as good as physical skills." Xiachuan shook his head. If it were Kyogoku Makoto, he would probably be fine even if he was hit by a car.

Conan didn't pay any attention to Natsukawa's muttering.

It's already this time and you're still making sarcastic remarks.

There were few clues at the scene and Conan was unable to confirm who the murderer was, but Ryu Kamikawa's death further narrowed the possibility of the murderer being Shikaobing.

Now it's a choice between three options, and he is very familiar with this type of multiple-choice question.

Of course, familiarity does not mean easy.

Until the Sally Beth docked in Tokyo Bay and Inspector Megure boarded the ship, Conan was unable to find any evidence.

After that, the identification of the Egg of Memory took a whole day.

During this time, Conan still hadn't thought of the answer.

Xia Chuan found some free time and called Frank, asking him to investigate the identity of the suspicious person, but the effect was average.

Everyone on the ship has a record of going abroad this month, which means they all have the possibility of being replaced by Binga.

In this case, the answer to this puzzle can only be found when we reach Yokosuka Castle...

Chapter 288: Gunshots in the Tunnel

The next day, Kanagawa Prefecture.

Natsumi Kosaka Castle is located in the Yokosuka Seaside Mountain Area.

The first time you see this castle, you will feel it is eye-catching.

"This castle seems to appear frequently in advertisements. I didn't expect it to be the property of Miss Xia Mei's family." Xiaolan's eyes lit up. What girl doesn't like castles, especially if they can take wedding photos in such a place, it would be even more wonderful.

"really......"

The same goes for Joel. A white wedding dress has already appeared in her mind.

"I've been thinking about something. Xia Chuan hasn't proposed yet..."

Joel whispered softly and couldn't help but look at her boyfriend. When the day came, she would definitely come to this place to take wedding photos.

"What did you say?"

Xia Chuan seemed to hear something, but couldn't hear it clearly.

"No, it's okay," Yoel waved his hands hurriedly.

A few people were chatting idly at the door, waiting for others to arrive.

Soon.

Chinikov, Qian Jiangyi and Pu Siqinglan drove to the scene one after another.

Conan looked back and forth.

Ryu Samukawa is dead. After returning home, Conan remembered Ryu Samukawa's camera and suspected that Ryu Samukawa's death might be related to his camera. After all, this guy had the habit of taking pictures casually. However, he got the news from Inspector Megure that the camera's memory card had been taken away long ago.

As a result, the case came to a stalemate.

But because of this, he was 100% sure that Shi Kaobing was among them.

Just as a few people were about to enter, two more cars drove into the castle.

"Officer White Bird?" Joel asked in surprise.

The person who got out of one of the cars was Shiratori Renzaburo.

"It's me. Officer Megure is worried that you might be unsafe on your own, so he asked me to come and help."

After saying that, Shiratori raised an eyebrow at Xiachuan implicitly, and his true identity was self-evident.

The other car is Dr. Agasa's Beetle.

"Hey, why is Dr. Agasa here?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Dr. Agasa who got off the car with dead fish eyes, and then saw a group of children following behind.

All members of the Junior Detective Team are present.

Including Huihara Ai!

"How could you forget her!"

Xia Chuan's face suddenly turned ugly.

Binga was at the scene, and Haibara Ai didn't know whether she would be discovered.

Just as Haibara Ai was about to get off the car, she suddenly felt a strange feeling. Her heartbeat quickened for no reason, and then her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Anya was startled in front and quickly jumped away, saying that if there was any scam, don't come to me.

"Haibara, what's wrong with you?" Genta asked curiously.

"No, it's okay."

Huiyuan Ai's face turned slightly pale. "I suddenly have a stomachache. Please sit in the car for a while."

“I found it.”

Xia Chuan's eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Dr. Agasa: "Dr. Agasa, there may be a killer coveting the Egg of Memory. You should not follow us. Take the children back later."

"Okay, I just brought a few kids here to take a look. We'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain later." Dr. Agasa nodded in agreement. In fact, he just came to deliver the glasses from the beginning.

The newly invented bulletproof glasses are particularly important when facing killers who shoot in the eyes.

The group walked into the castle. Kogoro Mori knew the nature of these little brats very well, so after Butler Sawabe closed the door, he told him to lock it again.

Then, led by Natsumi Kosaka and the butler, the group spent half an hour touring the castle.

"The magic glass was supposed to show Yokosuka Castle, but after half a day, there seems to be nothing!" Kogoro Mori seemed a little impatient.

If it weren't for the company of the beautiful girls Natsumi Kosaka and Qinglan Pu Si, he would have wanted to go home and drink beer long ago.

The weather in August was very dry, and there was no air conditioning in the castle, so I sweated a lot walking back and forth.

"Sister Xia Mei, is there a secret passage in this castle?"

Conan couldn't help but think of the blue castle.

It was also an ancient castle, and was related to the Egg of Memory. He seriously suspected that this castle also had secret passages and basements.

"Ms. Xia Mei, is there a room on the first floor where your great-grandfather often stayed?" Xia Chuan went straight to the point.

Natsumi Kosaka looked at the butler, who should know about this kind of thing.

Deacon Zebe has worked in her home for fifty years and basically knows everything.

"Yes, there is a study on the first floor. According to the deceased master, his father used to like staying in that room."

"If there is a secret passage, it should be there." Xia Chuan nodded, handed the car keys to Yoel, and then said something.

Conan didn't hear what the couple whispered to each other, nor did he care. He was more concerned about the study.

The interior of the castle is in German style. At the end of the corridor is the study. Through the window, you can see the boundless sea outside.

The layout of the study is simple. Apart from the bookshelf, there is a desk, a sofa and teacups. There is nothing special about it. If there is anything special, it may be the self-portrait.

Conan fell in love with the painting at first sight.

Given the precedent of the Blue Castle, perhaps the secret passage is also related to the portrait.

"The styles of the two castles are different. They should not have been designed by the same designer. I don't think they are related." Xia Chuan shook his head and commented.

“There aren’t any issues elsewhere.”

Kogoro Mori checked all the bookshelves, but gained nothing except getting his hands covered in dust.

At this time, Yue Er walked in quickly. She held a stick of incense in her hand and handed it to Xia Chuan.

"We'll know right away if there's a secret passage."

Xia Chuan lit the incense and walked around the room.

He remembered that the secret passage should be in a corner, but which corner it was still necessary to judge by the wind direction.

"It seems that Uncle Natsukawa has made sufficient preparations after arriving." Conan himself did not expect that this method could be used.

Soon, the incense began to shake unnaturally.

"Is this right here?"

Conan's eyes lit up, he lay on the ground and groped around, and soon found a suspicious groove.

Following the groove, a wooden block was lifted up, revealing the calculator inside.

Well, it looks like a calculator's combination lock.

Just when everyone was curious about the password, Xia Chuan walked straight forward and entered the correct password.

That is the Russian translation of The Magician at the End of the Century.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, how did you know the password?"

Looking at the dark passage that was gradually opening up, Conan fell into deep thought.

Solving a puzzle always takes a process. How come you seem to have known what this secret passage looks like?
