Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 339 Pisco: There's something wrong with the gin!
Yokomizo Shigeo's voice was quite loud, and everyone around him could hear it as soon as he spoke.

This naturally included Kudo Shinichi, who had not walked far.

"???"

With a look of surprise on his face, he looked at the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Inspector who said the name, and almost thought that the other party had recognized him and was calling him, but the police inspector was staring at the backstage.

Yokomizo Shigego frowned slightly. He temporarily put away the police manual he used to record information and said, "We should definitely go check out the backstage area... You should stay here for now."

The latter sentence was addressed to Zhu Fu Gao Ming, who nodded calmly and continued to question people related to the competition.

"How is it possible?" Suzuki Sonoko heard what was said just now, "Why is that reasoning idiot here? He...he didn't even go to see the injured Xiaolan!"

Maori Kogoro tutted in dissatisfaction: "Who knows what that brat is doing."

Dr. Agasa looked at them with a confused look on his face. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

——He didn't know that Kudo Shinichi had entered the venue in makeup. He probably thought that this famous detective who had returned to his original appearance could not help but go to the scene to investigate like before.

"How can this be……"

Kudo Shinichi watched the police disappear towards the backstage and subconsciously wanted to follow them secretly, but was stopped by Miyano Shiho.

"Don't go." Miyano Shiho's voice was low and hoarse, with a slight tremor that she tried hard to suppress. "This is too coincidental. It might be a trap set by the organization. They used to do this often. They pretended to be someone whose life or death was unknown and went to test acquaintances to see if they were really dead by their reaction."

"..."

Kudo Shinichi glanced at her, then turned towards the backstage.

He saw Aoyagi Binguang in front of him turned his head and looked at him again. The other party had a calm expression and mouthed to him, "I'll go and take a look", then left Miss White and walked backstage.

"……Feel sorry."

Kudo Shinichi whispered to Miyano Shiho and patted her shoulder: "Whether it is a trap of the organization or not, since it is related to the case, I have to go and take a look."

Without waiting for Miyano Shiho's response, he let go of her hand and left her side again. He skillfully avoided the nearby policemen, who also acted as if they didn't see him, allowing him to easily enter the backstage.

Where……

Kudo Shinichi recalled the room layout he had noted down when he came in before, and walked towards the prop room where the body was said to have been found.

After walking a few steps, he saw the back of Aoyagi Binguang who had come in before him from afar.

In the past Skoubin case, Aoyagi Akimichi gave the emerald that was used as a hair tie to the Russian secretary, which caused the last bit of bright color on his body to disappear. Looking from behind, he was dressed in black and looked like a light black ghost.

"green--"

Kudo Shinichi wanted to call out to the other person, but at this moment, his heart skipped a beat!
"!!"

He felt dull pain coming from deep within his body, his bones were creaking and burning as if they were melting, and his clothes were quickly soaked with sweat.

Kudo Shinichi covered his heart with his hands tremblingly, his face turning pale.

This reaction...

Could it be that he was going to once again——

He lowered his head in pain, unable to suppress his gasps, so he didn't notice that Aoyagi Binkou in front of him seemed to have heard the name that had not been called out and stopped.

He turned around and looked at him quietly.

……

At the venue, Suzuki Sonoko was extremely angry that "Kudo Shinichi, who was so close to Tokyo, didn't even visit the injured Mouri Ran once, but instead came here to investigate the case."

She took out her cell phone and was about to send a message to Mao Lilan to tell her the truth, but was stopped by Dr. Agasa who was standing next to her: "Wait, could this be a misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding?" Suzuki Sonoko's forehead was throbbing with veins. "He often appears in newspapers and has dealings with the police. Could the police have mistaken him?"

"This one……"

Dr. Agasa began to sweat. He was good at coming up with puzzles, but he was really not good at explaining them, especially when there were so many twists and turns and things that needed to be explained.

"Are you talking about the high school detective, Kudo Shinichi?" An old man's voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was in a state of rage, looked over and was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Masuyama?"

Masuyama Motors is a large company, and Suzuki Sonoko has met the chairman at some banquets. When she saw the right face, she quickly calmed down.

Organization member Pisco nodded to the daughter of the wealthy tycoon in a friendly manner, and then continued to test:

"The person you were talking about just now was the high school detective? My niece is his fan. He disappeared not long ago and she was sad for a long time... Could it be that he came to the scene today?"

"Who knows." Maori Kogoro said, "He disappeared not long ago. Xiaolan said he would contact her occasionally, but I haven't seen him, and he hasn't been to school."

"I see." Pisco paused, "Are you familiar with him?"

It was too late for Dr. Agasa to stop him. Maori Kogoro nodded and said, "That brat is my daughter's childhood sweetheart..."

After saying that, he realized something was wrong. It was strange that someone came up to him and asked such a question for no reason. He looked at Pisco with suspicion.

Pisco explained calmly, "If you are familiar with Detective Kudo, could you help me get an autographed photo of him? My niece is very good in other aspects, but she is a star chaser and loves to collect autographed photos the most."

Maori Kogoro said: "If it is really that little devil, wait until he comes out and ask him yourself."

His attitude was obvious, and anyone with a little hearing could hear his dislike and impatience. Pisco had achieved his goal, so he left naturally.

But after walking to the side, he immediately took out his cell phone.

Kudo Shinichi.

Pisco muttered the name silently.

He remembered clearly that when he received the APTX assassination drug not long ago, he also received a list of people who died from this drug and their users.

——The status in Kudo Shinichi's column is death, and the person who used the drug at that time was Gin.

So what’s up with this Kudo Shinichi who suddenly appeared?

They look alike, was it a mistake by the police?

Someone pretending to be someone else?

Gin made a mistake and failed to silence the witness, and the list was tampered with by someone else?
or……

A cold light flashed in Pisco's eyes.

——There’s something wrong with Gin.

He typed in the gentleman's email address and hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to tell him directly.

Gin's status is higher than his own. If the accusation is wrong, with Gin's petty mind, he will definitely take every opportunity to retaliate. He is old and cannot bear the anger of this young cadre at all.

and so……

Pisco paused, deleted the gentleman's email and replaced it with rum.

He has been helping Rum for the past few years, and this mission was given to him by him, and Rum's status is higher than Gin. It is safer to tell the other party about this first and let him confirm it.

He typed an email, but due to his own style, he still didn't say it clearly.

[I discovered that there is something wrong with Gin...]

After typing and sending the email, Pisco put his phone away. At this moment, he heard footsteps approaching.

When he looked up, he saw Miss White passing him and walking straight towards Officer Nagano who was left behind.

"There was also a case backstage?"

she asked in English.

Pisco could tell that her pronunciation was not very standard and had a bit of a German accent.
