Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 991 Who is the Accomplice?

According to Kudo Shinichi's previous analysis, there should be two murderers.

However, also because of this analysis, it can basically be confirmed that there should be no connection between the two murderers. The second murderer is simply another murderer who imitated the first murderer's method of attack and carried out a hitchhiking murder.

So, looking at it this way, where does the term "mastermind" come from?

In addition, if it is really forced to say that the murderer who planned the whole countdown killing with playing cards is the mastermind, then it is obvious that the mastermind first attacked Police Officer Megure, Attorney Concubine, Mr. Wise, Dr. Ali, and finally killed The murderer who killed Xu Hongshu, because he started the whole plan, so the first murderer can be regarded as the mastermind.

However, now it is said that Zemu Fair is the mastermind, then there is a major contradiction with the previous analysis!
Because, when killing Xu Hongshu, Ze Mu was under the protection of the police, and it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to kill Xu Hongshu, so from this point of view, he could not be the first murderer— —

That is to say, no matter how you look at it, there is obviously a problem with saying that Sawaki is the "mastermind".

So, based on this idea, Kudo Shinichi gave a general explanation of the situation, and then asked Miwako Sato who said that Sawaki Fair was the mastermind.

Regarding this, Miwako Sato thought for a while, and felt that it was difficult for her to give a detailed explanation, so she took out her mobile phone and said to Kudo Shindao:
"Well, you'd better ask Mr. Wisely directly!"

As he spoke, Miwako Sato dialed Gao Yuan's number and dialed out——

"Hey? Is there a signal?"

Immediately, seeing Miwako Sato's call successfully dialed out, Police Officer Megure and the others hurriedly took out their mobile phones to check. After all, when they wanted to contact the outside just now, there was no mobile phone signal at all.

However, seeing Miwako Sato's phone call, Officer Megure and the others still showed "outside the circle" on their mobile phones, which made them even more puzzled. Officer Megure and others looked puzzled, so they waited until After Miwako Sato dialed the phone, after hearing that Gao Yuan had answered the phone, Officer Megure couldn't help asking:
"Brother wise! What's going on! Why is there no signal on our mobile phone, but Sato can call you! Where are you now?"

"Ah, Officer Megure."

In this regard, after hearing the question of Police Officer Mu Mu, Gao Yuan’s voice came from the other end of the phone, and then Gao Yuan first answered the question of Police Officer Mu Mu:

"You should be at the bottom of the ocean entertainment facility 'Water Crystal' right now? Here, there is only one mobile phone signal base station that can connect to the outside, so just set up the signal base station so that only the signal with a specific number can be sent out , and such a situation can be achieved!”

"Huh? Why did you do this?"

Listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Officer Mumu asked in puzzlement.

"Of course it's to make the murderer think it's time for him to do something!"

Gao Yuan explained lightly, and then asked everyone present:
"By the way, since this will contact me, how is the situation at the scene? Has the murderer been caught?"

"Yes, Officer Sato and I created an opportunity for the murderer according to your arrangement. As you expected, Mr. Sawaki attacked Ms. Nana Koyamauchi!"

In this regard, in the face of Gao Yuan's inquiry, Gao Mushe gave an answer.

"Hey? Is it fair to catch Zemu..."

However, upon hearing this result, Gao Yuan seemed to sigh in disappointment, as if the result did not satisfy him——

After all, it was originally a plan to catch another accomplice, but it was Zemu's fair choice to do it himself, which is a bit unsatisfactory.

However, since it is true that the murderer has been caught, and it was Zeki Hiroshi who took action against Nana Koyama, then just like the original work, the judgment that Zeki Hiroshi is the mastermind of the whole incident is even greater.

So, Gao Yuan on the other end of the phone thought so.

But then, after listening to Gao Yuan briefly asking about the situation at the scene, Kudo Shinichi curiously asked his doubts——

After all, according to the original inference, even if Ze Muzheng is the murderer, he can only be the second imitator at most, and should not be the first murderer.

In this regard, Gao Yuan immediately made the most critical explanation:
"Kudou-san, about the relationship between the two murderers, one is a copycat, because the murderer has a difference in choosing the target represented by 'ten'.

"We thought at the beginning that the imitator counted down the order of the murders to 'nine' before Asahi Hiroki flew the helicopter, so in order to achieve this goal, the imitator targeted me and Conan who was acting with me, He thought that attacking both of us at the same time would achieve his goal at once, so he put two playing cards in my car in advance.

"But I didn't expect that the imitator didn't have time to do it, but the real murderer attacked me and Conan before him. So the imitator thought that his goal had been achieved, and the real murderer would count down to 'nine'. He could attack Xu Hongshu immediately, so he changed his usual eye drops.

"But the accident is that Conan does not seem to be the original target of the first murderer. In the eyes of the first murderer, attacking Conan should be an accident, but the real 'ten' is Dr. A Li.

"Therefore, based on the above facts, we analyzed that there were two murderers at the time, because there was a difference in the identification of the goal of 'ten', which led to the exposure of the existence of the second imitator, right?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Kudo Shinichi asked, after all, what Gao Yuan said just now was his own guess after Dr. A Li was also attacked.

"something wrong."

Regarding this, Gao Yuan began to say seriously:

"The above inference is that we believe that the murderer is two unrelated people, and the second murderer does not know the real intention of the first murderer, so there is a deviation in the determination of the target of 'ten' Condition.

"But the question is, what if the murderer did it on purpose? What if the murderer did it on purpose to make us think that there were two murderers, and there was no connection between them?"

Immediately, upon hearing this, Kudo Shinichi's body suddenly became serious, and then he began to think solemnly——

"The order doesn't matter..."

After a while, Kudo Shinichi, who thought about it, suddenly said the sentence that Miwako Sato said after controlling Zeki Fairy, which seemed to be the key to the problem, and he also figured it out——

"That's right, the order doesn't matter."

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but affirm:

"Just like "ABC Murder", the murderer in the novel creates serial killings for the purpose of hiding the target he really wants to kill, and similarly, the murderer this time is the same, using playing cards to carry out countdown attacks, But in fact, what he really wants to kill is only a few of them. In other words, finding thirteen targets is just to mislead our judgment on the identity of the murderer. In other words, as long as it can mislead our judgment on his identity, the order It doesn't matter at all!"

"I understand!"

Nodding his head, Kudo Shinichi seemed to fully understand Gao Yuan's meaning, then looked around at the people present, and said solemnly:

"Then who is that accomplice..."
