Stay away from Conan.

"A professional killer?"

Realizing this, Conan sensed the figure getting closer and closer to him, and his heart gradually calmed down -

At this time, I am about to meet the professional killer head-on. It is useless to be afraid. The other party was able to kill the deceased in the bathroom so decisively. Now that I have caught up with him, he will definitely not let me go. So obviously I must find a way to deal with him at this time!

And now, in this narrow space, I am not without a strategy. Regardless of the advantage of my body shape, I don’t have to worry about not being able to turn around and having to face my back to the opponent. I still have the decisive weapon in my hand!

Thinking of this, Conan took a deep breath, then temporarily turned off the flashlight function of the watch in his hand, and then slowly moved his body. After successfully turning around in this pipe, he focused on the distance that the figure was gradually approaching him——

Then, Conan sensed and calculated the distance. When he felt it was about right, he picked up his watch, turned on the flashlight function, and shone it towards the direction where the figure came from.

In this way, the strong light of the flashlight shines in this originally dark space. When the other party is caught off guard, his vision will inevitably be limited by the light, making him unable to open his eyes at this moment, and he can only stop his steps.

Then, taking this opportunity, Conan turned to his watch, activated the anesthesia gun function, aimed it in the direction of the figure, and shot the anesthesia needle directly -

In this space, at this distance, you can hit the target!

"good chance!"

In this case, Conan was certain in his heart that at such a distance, the opponent was blocked by the light, and the space was narrow enough, so it was impossible for the opponent to dodge. As long as the anesthetic needle hit, with the power of Dr. Agasa's special anesthetic potion, the opponent would definitely fall asleep immediately.

In this way, he only needs to find the nearest exit to leave, and then notify Uncle Maori and the police to come and take the unconscious prisoner away, and the incident will be settled.

However, when Conan shot the anesthetic needle, he turned the watch again and shone the flashlight on the watch towards the other party. Conan's heart almost stopped suddenly.

The other party was not knocked unconscious by the anesthetic needle!

Instead, the other party followed the direction of the light and stared at him.

"what happened?"

Seeing that the anesthetic needle had not taken effect, Conan quickly came to his senses, calmed himself down, and carefully thought about where the problem was, and then carefully looked at the other person's appearance that was clearly illuminated by the light -

The other person had hand guards tied on his hands!

Just now, because of the strong light of my flashlight, the other party subconsciously raised his hand to block the light. In this case, the anesthetic needle I shot was blocked by the hand guard!

"shit!"

In this way, Conan knew that his trump card had failed, and in this narrow space, the football belt could not be used...

Therefore, Conan is now helpless. It is impossible for him to subdue the criminal in this space with his own body. He can only try his best to see the other person's face clearly, and then use his body advantage to quickly leave the pipe and seek help outside, allowing the police to search everyone based on the appearance of the criminal they have witnessed!

So, Conan calmed down after thinking about this, and stared fiercely at the face of the criminal who was glaring at him at the moment -

This face is very distinctive.

Although I can't see the details clearly, his straight eyebrows and beard make him an Asian face, there's no doubt about that!

After observing this, Conan no longer stayed where he was. He turned around and crawled forward frantically, trying to find the nearest ventilation duct exit as quickly as possible, run out, and tell Inspector Megure and the others the characteristics of the murderer he had witnessed.

Obviously, after Conan took this action, the criminal who was originally staring at Conan also saw Conan's appearance clearly, and seemed shocked that the person who ran into the ventilation duct to track him was actually a child.

However, in addition to shock, it is clear that the murderer is more angry -

I was so angry at myself that I was actually seen by a child!

Thinking of this, after seeing Conan turn around and run away, the murderer quickly chased after him, intending to kill Conan who had seen his true face...

……

"Officer, the police officers who have arrived at the scene have already investigated the identity of the deceased!"

Meanwhile, while Officer Megure was still on his way to the Beika Hotel, the police officers who had arrived at the scene earlier had already successfully found out the identity of the deceased and reported the situation to Officer Megure over the phone - "The deceased's name is Koide Yuki, 48 years old, working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, mainly responsible for diplomatic work with neighboring countries!"

"neighboring countries?"

Immediately, upon hearing this, Inspector Megure had a very bad feeling because of the word "neighboring country", because not long ago, the Metropolitan Police Department received a report from the police of a neighboring country -

The killer from a neighboring country, "Yaohudong", who may have sneaked into Japan...

A professional killer whose true face no one has ever seen, said to be a killer belonging to the leader of a mysterious organization...

Now, an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had diplomatic relations with a neighboring country was killed by a mysterious murderer. So far, no one has seen who the murderer is. All we know is that the murderer should have sneaked into the scene through the ventilation duct and also left the scene using the ventilation duct.

This method of committing a crime really makes it impossible for people to witness such a murderer...

"Is it possible..."

At this time, not only Officer Megure, but even Takagi Wataru, who was driving, was reminded of the file he had seen not long ago:

"The murderer this time will be..."

"That's bad!"

In this regard, Inspector Megure was nervous and urged Takagi Wataru:

"We have to hurry over there and send more people! Conan is now tracking the murderer in the ventilation duct, which is extremely dangerous!"

In this way, Officer Megure, who had said this, immediately contacted for reinforcements, and seemed to be ready to send enough people to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the hotel...

……

"Damn it... we're getting closer..."

At this time, when the police had already found out the identity of the deceased, in the ventilation duct, Conan felt that the criminal following behind him was moving faster and faster, and was gradually closing the distance with him -

Obviously, although his body shape gave him an advantage in the pipe, when it came to mobility, this specially trained killer was faster.

We must find an exit as soon as possible...

So, Conan thought so, and after turning a few corners, he finally saw an exit of a ventilation duct at the end of a road, which was blocked by a metal fence.

But at this moment, seeing the exit right in front of him, Conan didn't care so much. He quickly came to the exit, used his body shape to move his body, activated his foot-strengthening shoes, and then kicked out the metal fence at the entrance...

……

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

At this time, Gao Yuan was pretending to be an ordinary hotel guest, and was taking the elevator to the floor where his room was located. Suddenly, Gao Yuan heard the sound of something falling on the elevator... (End of this chapter)
