Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 994 Where's Xiaolan?
After Gao Yuan mentioned more and more clues on the phone, Kudo Shinichi who was present could not help but have a general idea of ​​the cause and effect of this incident——

First of all, as a series of incidents, the first three targets of the murderer were Police Officer Megure, Xiaolan's mother, the lawyer, and Mr. Zhizhi. At the scene of their attack, the murderer left poker cards corresponding to their names. The items in the cards and in the hands of the characters are very important clues. It can be seen that the murderer who attacked the three of them must be the same person.

Therefore, in order to find out the identity of the murderer, the most critical clue lies in the attack that Aunt Fei Yingli suffered.

Since the chocolate that the murderer sent to Lawyer Concubine happens to be the brand of chocolate that Concubine Concubine likes most, the murderer must be someone who knows about it.

Therefore, according to Mr. Wise's investigation, since Uncle Mori and Aunt Fei Yingli have basically stopped mentioning this matter since they separated recently, if you want to find someone who knows about this matter, you can continue to search, so as to find out the earliest Maori. When my uncle was dating Aunt Eri, Mr. Sawaki, who met Uncle Mori and the others at that time, actually knew about it.

Therefore, Mr. Zemu was suspected of committing the crime.

And then, when the murderer's countdown order from the "K, Q, J" of the playing cards to the numbered cards, because there are no more images of people on the cards, the murderer stays at the scene every time he commits a crime. The item becomes the playing card itself.

It was only after the first three murders that there was a problem with the murderer's target.

Originally, my identity as "Conan" was also attacked after Mr. Zhizhi, and then I found a "10 of Spades" playing card in Mr. Zhizhi's car, so everyone thought they were the victim representing "Ten", Then it was Xu Hongshu's turn to "Nine".

But later it was discovered that another murderer attacked Dr. Ali again after Xu Hongshu pretended to be attacked, and left behind the "10 of Spades" poker card, and then Xu Hongshu himself was killed.

Because the crossbow and arrows used by the later murderer were the same as the arrows shot by Police Officer Megure and Mr. Akechi when they were attacked, so it is believed that the later murderer is the murderer of the previous three incidents , and according to my guess, my identity as "Conan" will be attacked, maybe because I kicked a football with myself and broke the window of the truck, which made him feel angry, so he temporarily chose to hit someone who happened to be in his driving path with a car Therefore, people think that "Conan" is the target representing "Ten", and there is a high probability that it is not the murderer who caused the first three incidents.

Therefore, I analyzed the possibility of imitation crimes at that time.

But thinking about it now, combined with the clues of the attack on lawyer Concubine, it is possible to find out Mr. Zemu’s suspicion. In this way, if there is no such misleading "ten" attack, and Mr. Zemu is under the protection of the police afterwards. In the two attacks that occurred next, only when Xu Hongshu was replaced with eye drops, in fact, all the attack sequences were self-consistent——

Only in this way, the suspicion of Zemu fairness cannot be cleared.

And because of the killing of Dr. Ali and Asahi Hiroki later, it makes people think that the person who caused these two incidents was the murderer who first created the first three incidents. In this case, there should have been The suspected Zemu is fair, since there is no crime in the following two incidents, it can be easily excluded from the suspicion...

So in the end, there are still two murderers. That’s right. With Mr. Ze Mu’s attack on Nana Koyama just now, he must be one of the murderers. Mr. has an alibi, so creating these two incidents requires the assistance of another murderer.

Thinking about it this way, Kudo Shinichi felt that Gaoyuan’s thoughts were so sure that Mr. Sawaki was suspicious. If the incident that happened in this submarine restaurant today hadn’t happened, the possibility of the whole thing is actually very high. The reasoning by the clues, Gao Yuan's deployment today seems to have known the answer a long time ago, and he is looking back for the clues...

As a result, when Kudo Shinichi was thinking with some doubts, he heard Gao Yuan on the phone saying that Mr. Sawaki should not do it at such a time. Suddenly, Kudo Shinichi seemed to remember something, He turned his head and looked around at the people around him——

Needless to say, Officer Megure, Officer Shiratori, Officer Sato, and Officer Takagi, of course Uncle Mori and Ran are also fine.

For the rest, Mr. Sawaki was being subdued on the spot, while Koyamauchi Nana still looked a bit terrified, and Nishina Minoru also came here to observe because of the movement just now, but...

"Where's Peter Ford!"

Immediately, he noticed that among the invited people, Peter Ford was actually not present at the moment after hearing Nana Koyama's yell. Such a situation puzzled Kudo Shinichi, and after thinking for a while, he became surprised:
"Didn't Mr. Peter Ford come over?"

"Hey?"

Immediately, hearing what Kudo Shinichi said, the other people present couldn't help but look around, and only then did they realize that Peter Ford was really not here——

"Really, where's Mr. Peter?"

Officer Shiratori also said unexpectedly.

"Isn't he lost?"

Mori Kogoro couldn't help guessing like this at this time.

"Not right..."

In this regard, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help saying:

"According to Mr. Wise's guess, for the convenience of action, the two murderers are likely to be at the scene. Since in this submarine restaurant, Officer Sato and Officer Takagi have already ambushed here, and the situation that happened was arranged by them in advance. Yes, then the possibility of another murderer hiding here is very small, the most likely situation is..."

Saying that, Kudo Shinkan looked at Zeki Fairy who was subdued at the moment, and said very solemnly:

"Just like Mr. Sawaki, pretending to be one of the targets who should be attacked, and following everyone..."

Speaking of this, everyone present was shocked——

"Could it be that the accomplice is..."

At this moment, Police Officer Mumu realized the problem, and hurriedly said in shock.

"possible."

In this regard, after Gao Yuan on the other end of the phone heard that there was one person missing, since there was no direct evidence, he could only guess like this.

"Anyway, hurry up and find Mr. Peter!"

Kudo Shinichi hurriedly said, and then everyone who realized the problem set off to find Peter Ford——

However, at this moment, with the sound of an explosion, a strong shock suddenly caused the entire underwater restaurant to shake violently, and immediately, with the appearance of the shock, the lights that were originally on Also went out again!
"What? What's wrong?"

When the darkness fell again, everyone was a little unsteady due to the vibration of the whole building, and they could only lean against the wall as much as possible to prevent themselves from falling. Officer Mumu said in surprise:

"What was that sound just now?"

"It looks like something exploded!"

Regarding this, Police Officer Shiratori, who was also leaning against the wall to stabilize his body, could not help but judge the reason for the noise just now.

"How come? Is there a bomb hidden here?"

As for such a situation, Miwako Sato said in a serious and surprised way.

"Impossible, we've checked everywhere, haven't we?"

Gao Mushe couldn't help replying, then he was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, he couldn't help saying:
"Could it be Mr. Peter?"

Just as he was talking, because of the confusion just now, Ze Muzheng, who should have been controlled by Takagi She, suddenly took the opportunity to break away from Takagi She's control, so after stabilizing his figure a little, Takagi She wanted to grab Ze Mu fair, but—

"Ah? Not good! Mr. Sawaki escaped!"

He caught the air, and then there was the sound of running in a hurry. In this dark situation, Takagi suddenly realized that although Ze Muzheng was handcuffed, he was still able to run, and he was going to take the opportunity to escape, so he couldn't help being surprised.

However, he couldn't see anything, and for a while, he couldn't grasp the specific location of Zemu Fairy except for being able to judge the general direction of the other party's departure by relying on the sound.

"Quick! Stop him!"

For a while, after hearing Gao Mushe's words, Police Officer Mugure quickly realized what had happened, and hurriedly ordered.

However, the current situation is too chaotic. Almost everyone is in this corridor now. Due to the turmoil just now, some of them stood against the wall, while others fell to the ground without the aid of light. , Police Officer Megure and others present, even if they wanted to catch the escaped Sawaki Fair, they were really powerless.

In this way, after the shock caused by the explosion just now subsided, it seemed that the backup emergency lighting device in the building was finally activated, and some faint lights finally lit up in the corridor, so that everyone present could finally see Knowing the current situation——

"Great, it's an emergency light!"

Noticing that the emergency lights were on, Officer Mugure couldn't help calming down a bit, and then immediately ordered to Officer Shiratori and others present:

"Hurry up and chase Zemu back for me!"

"Yes!"

In this way, Miwako Sato reacted first and was about to take action.

However, as soon as the words fell, there was another explosion that was more intense than before, and everyone immediately felt that the entire submarine building was shaken by the explosion——

what happened?Why are there two explosions...

"No, run away!"

And at this moment, just when Kudo Shinichi felt strange about the two explosions, he suddenly thought that he and the others were now in a building under the sea, and the movement of the second explosion just now, I am afraid that the surrounding area of ​​the building may be The structure simply won't hold up.

From this, realizing what was about to happen, Kudo Shinichi hurriedly urged:
"The water is coming in! Everyone, run to the hall!"

Now everyone is located in the corridor of the back kitchen, and the location already belongs to the interior of the building. Once the seawater from outside pours in here, it will be difficult to get out from here, so Kudo Shinichi made a quick decision and quickly suggested.

At this time, it was too late to care about the escaped Zemu Fairy, let's save his life first, and judging from the situation just now, it seemed that Zemu Fairy had foreseen that such a thing would happen, so he took advantage of the first explosion to escape.

So, after hearing what Kudo Shinichi said, they also realized the urgency of the matter, so everyone hurried towards the entrance hall——

"Ah? But..."

However, Minoru Nishina suddenly froze when he heard the words that the water was about to flow in:
"I can't swim..."

Saying this, Minoru Nishina's legs felt weak and he didn't dare to move when he thought that if he ran outside, there might be sea water coming in ahead.

However, facing such a situation, Kogoro Mori stepped forward and pulled him and ran out——

"Run and talk, do you want to wait here to die?"

Speaking forcefully, Mori Kogoro learned the fact that Nishina Minoru was afraid of water on the cable car when he came here, but even if he was afraid of water, he couldn't wait to die here, so Mori Kogoro dragged him away.

At the same time, the rest of the people also ran outside one after another...

……

At the same time, on the other end of the phone that Miwako Sato hadn't hung up, Gao Yuan heard the sound of an explosion from the underwater restaurant. From this, Gao Yuan also knew that although things had gone wrong, the place was indeed called "Water Crystal" The undersea restaurant in China was still bombed.

In this regard, although no bomb was found when he checked the submarine restaurant yesterday, Gao Yuan did not choose to be there when everyone gathered at the submarine restaurant today out of various considerations——

After all, I don't know how to swim, and if something happens to the underwater restaurant like in the original, I will be a burden.

Secondly, I was also worried that if I was present with Kudo Shinichi at the same time, it would further affect the deviation of the case, so to be on the safe side, since Kudo Shinichi was going to the scene, I still didn't go.

However, it seems that what happened in the undersea restaurant this time is somewhat related to the original work, but the deviation of the case itself is too big to be ignored...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan, who was outside the field, began to contact the water security and rescue...

……

On the other side, in the underwater restaurant, when everyone quickly ran out from the corridor of the back kitchen and was about to run into the hall, because the glass on the outer wall of the hall had been shattered by the explosion, the seawater outside the building had already shattered rapidly. into the hall.

As a result, the people who were about to run out were hit by the oncoming water flow, and they were all overwhelmed by the water flow for a while, and the whole person was submerged by the water flow, drifting with the current.

But fortunately, everyone finally came to the hall at this moment. Since almost all the glass in the hall was broken, they only needed to find a way to leave the underwater restaurant through the gap in the window of the hall, and then find a way to float to the surface to escape.

Thus, when the seawater pouring into the hall was basically stable, and in the space of the hall, there was still a gap of air above the uppermost surface of the water, everyone temporarily floated to the surface and took a breath—

"Ah, temporarily saved..."

Taking in the air on the surface of the water with big mouth, Takagi Tsutomu couldn't help saying.

"However, I still haven't seen Mr. Peter and Mr. Sawaki."

Miwako Sato looked around at the people present who surfaced, and couldn't help saying.

"Perhaps they have already escaped from the blasted exit."

Mori Kogoro supported Nishina Minoru, who couldn't swim, thinking about it.

Regarding this, Kudo Shin nodded, thinking that this might be the murderer's last means of escape, and it made sense to say so.

But at this moment, when Kudo Shinichi also looked around at the people who surfaced, he suddenly looked stunned——

Where's Xiaolan?
