Stay away from Conan.

"Princess, the latest news is that Mr. Koide, the official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who was in contact with us, was accidentally killed today! So this time..."

Just after the diplomats from Panasukra checked into the Mihua Hotel, the attendant of the princess of Panasukra, an elderly man with dark complexion but white hair, received a phone call and urgently reported to the person in charge of the trip, the princess of Panasukra.

In response to this, the young princess was a little surprised when she heard this, but compared to the nervousness of her attendant, she quickly calmed down and said to the attendant:

"Don't be nervous. Even so, I'm sure the Japanese side will arrange new officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact us, so the purpose of our trip will not change!"

Hearing the princess say this so calmly, the old attendant couldn't help feeling ashamed. He was deeply moved by the attitude and skills shown by the princess. In some aspects, the princess is already able to stand on her own.

After receiving the princess's answer, the attendant nodded seriously and replied to the princess:

"Okay! I understand, Princess! I will express our attitude to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs right away!"

After saying this, the attendant went out to make a phone call.

As she watched the attendant leave to negotiate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the young princess of Panasukla felt a little worried in her heart.

I'm afraid this trip to Japan won't go smoothly...

……

"The deceased was an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, mainly responsible for work related to neighboring countries. And the murderer was a mysterious killer from a neighboring country? And he even sneaked in?"

At the hospital, after Akemi Miyano pretended to be Takato and asked Maori Kogoro about the progress of the investigation, Conan, who was standing by, couldn't help but look condensed when he heard the news after the killer was caught. He felt that the problem was far from over.

After all, this matter is not as simple as a killer killing someone. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and neighboring countries are actually involved behind the scenes.

The key issue lies in the circumstances at the time of the crime. The killer killed the target when there was no one else in the bathroom. From this, we can conclude that this is obviously not a coincidence, and it is impossible for the killer to wait until the deceased happened to go to the bathroom alone before taking action. This must have been planned in advance.

The killer should have been hiding in the ventilation duct on the ceiling of the bathroom waiting for the target to enter, and then someone else should have asked the deceased to go to the bathroom. To accomplish this, it was necessary to ensure that no one else entered the bathroom during the time the killer was acting, so someone had to make sure that no one passed by outside the bathroom at that time, and that there was no one else in the bathroom when the deceased was asked to go in.

Therefore, this cannot be done by just a killer hiding in the ventilation duct!

Therefore, there must be another person who is observing the right moment to call out the dead!

Thinking of this, Conan, who had just come out of the emergency room, couldn't wait any longer. While the police were still searching the hotel, he had to seize this opportunity to let the police investigate in order to find the killer's accomplice who should also be at the scene.

So, immediately, Conan thought about it, and facing Mouri Kogoro who was angry because of his actions, Conan knew that he could not ask Mouri Kogoro to do this matter, so he turned to look at Gao Yuan who was chatting with Mouri Kogoro about the details of the incident.

However, in order not to alarm Maori Kogoro, Conan did not directly choose to call Gao Yuan over, but turned to Xiao Ai beside him and said: "Hey, Haibara..."

"Ok?"

At this time, when Conan called her like this, Ai, who had been teasing Conan's behavior, still had an unhappy expression on her face and asked back with her hands folded in front of her.

But Conan obviously didn't care about Ai's attitude for the time being, and instead said:

"I need you to tell Mr. Akechi something, as soon as possible!"

After all, now that the police think the killer has been caught, they have relaxed the blockade of the hotel scene, and it is very likely that the police will simply withdraw their team after a while.

In this case, if the police were a step late, they might have withdrawn and missed the best time.

So, just like that, through Conan's whispered narration, Ai knew what Conan was worried about, so she needed to notify the police in the identity of "Gao Yuan" to pay attention to it as soon as possible.

Therefore, thinking that she just needed "Gao Yuan", that is, her sister, to help convey the message, Ai did not delay in telling her sister what Conan needed help conveying. Her sister, using the identity of "Gao Yuan", did not think much about it and reported the matter to Inspector Megure and others who were still searching for clues at the Beika Hotel.

However, no one expected that when Inspector Megure and his team learned of the reminder from "Takato", they were ready to go and see if the killer had woken up, hoping to try to interrogate the killer on the spot and let her confess the information she knew. However, the news they received was -

The killer knocked out the guard and escaped!

——“How is this possible!”

When Officer Megure received a report from his officers at the Beika Hotel and learned that the police officer guarding the door of the room where the killer was imprisoned was knocked unconscious and the killer was missing, Officer Megure was extremely shocked and angry. Because if the other party was really the killer who had smuggled in from the neighboring country, if she escaped now, the consequences would be unimaginable. Who knows if she would continue to commit crimes?

In this regard, after being shocked and furious, Officer Megure, who had calmed down a little, immediately thought of the news that Gao Yuan had just informed him -

The killer may have accomplices in the hotel to help him.

So, after thinking about this, Inspector Megure realized one thing -

Logically speaking, how could the murderer, whose hands were handcuffed behind his back, undid the handcuffs and escape? This was obviously not something the murderer could do alone, so it was clear that there must be someone else involved in this matter, and from this point of view, the other party must be the person who assisted the killer mentioned by Gao Yuan!

It seems that we must find this person, and also be prepared for the killer's possible actions next...

——"Damn it, such a huge mistake has happened..."

Inspector Megure immediately became nervous at this moment, because the situation in the hotel was obviously very tricky... (End of this chapter)
