Chapter 91 [Cycle] End (Please subscribe, please vote)

When the smoke cleared, what appeared before everyone was a half-collapsed wall and the front of the car almost embedded in the wall.

The cracks in the wall are like spider webs.

The broken glass penetrated deeply into the body of the victim, and the sunlight refracted and sparkled like dewdrops hanging on a spider web.

Just as Inspector Megure was trying to call for reinforcements and arrange for police officers to clean up the scene of another emergency.

Two voices came from the left and right sides of the Minagawa family's door.

"Nobody is allowed to move!"

Hattori Heiji and the police team that came to support him walked out of the smoke that had not yet completely dissipated.

They all held guns, and Kogoro Maori could see that the safety of everyone's gun was on.

He immediately realized that he was in big trouble.

The man immediately tried to get his daughter to safety.

"Xiaolan! Go inside quickly, it's very dangerous here!"

When Xiaolan found out that Conan was missing, she cried and tried to search for Conan's location.

"But Conan is missing!"

"I'll find that kid! Be good! Go to the house quickly! As soon as I see him, I'll ask him to go find you in the house. It's very dangerous here!"

Xiaolan, who was frightened by the terrible scene and was a little confused, habitually obeyed her father's instructions.

After Kogoro Mouri repeatedly emphasized that her staying would only distract him and add an extra risk.

Xiaolan finally ran into the house.

"That girl is my child! I'm Kogoro Mouri!"

Inspector Megure also realized it immediately, and he shouted to the young-looking leading police officer in the distance.

"That kid is just a high school student!"

"Sir?"

A policeman behind Heiji was aiming at the running Xiaolan and tried to ask his opinion.

Hattori Heiji raised one hand and signaled to let him go.

"Our targets were all male, and it was just a high school student."

He was surprisingly calm now, as if he was born to witness such a scene.

"First, cordon off the road and have Team Two check the situation at the front of the car. The car is bulletproof and has been specially modified. The people inside are probably alive."

Soon, four police cars that came from behind were blocking the two intersections of the street.

All exits were blocked.

For Hattori Heiji, all he needed to do now was to figure out the origins of the police team he ran into.

……

"Report to the commander! We have confirmed that this police force is not from 'our side'!"

"They came to the scene because a murder occurred at the Minagawa family. The case has been solved."

If it were in the past, Hattori Heiji might have asked a few questions, or even run over excitedly to ask.

But what is more important now are the two people hiding in the front of the car.

"Those two guys are unconscious, right? I'll send an ambulance with a medical team to wake them up."

Thinking about what they might do after waking up, Hattori Heiji gave orders.

"Send four people to monitor the rescue process and restrain them without endangering their lives."

"Yes!"

Walking back to the command vehicle, Hattori Heiji decided to contact General Gorman and his father immediately.

Things have come to such a point that it can no longer be concealed.

Well, since the local police here have already intervened, let's do it to the end.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji called Sato to his side.

"That's Megure Jusan's team over there, right? Tell them to wait behind the police car."

Hattori Heiji paused, "But don't let him go, understand?"

"understand!"

……

"What? Catching two robbers caused such a big commotion."

Kogoro Mouri, who was stopped, grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Fortunately, we have closed the case on our side."

After receiving notification from Sato, Officer Megure signaled his team members to open the door of the police car parked nearby.

"Since this is the commander's order."

His tone was full of apology.

"I'm really sorry, but we're not allowed to go in or leave right now. Let's squeeze into these police cars and sit down and rest for a while."

The moment the police officer opened the nearest car door—

good chance!
Conan immediately turned on the anesthetic watch on his wrist and aimed at Kogoro Mouri who was standing next to Inspector Megure.

A silver light hit Kogoro Mori's neck.

Then, the others who had not yet taken action saw Mr. Maori stumble to his seat first.

As if he couldn't wait to rest.

Now, with the help of Conan's anxious mood hiding behind the car and his urgent desire to point out the real murderer.

[Story Timeline] We can finally continue this unfinished case.

In this small area isolated by Hattori Heiji——

The reasoning continues.

Maori Kogoro, who was sitting with his back to everyone, spoke:

"Please wait a moment."

"Inspector Megure, although the situation at the scene is very chaotic, this case is actually not closed as you said."

"Naomichi Tanaka is not the real criminal."

Inspector Megure absolutely did not want to continue messing around with this unreliable detective at this time.

"What are you talking about? This man has already admitted that he is a criminal!"

This scene is actually a bit awkward.

The action of [Story Timeline] is like abruptly inserting a clip from a mystery film into a police and gangster film.

But now that I have completed my own [story timeline], I am so strong!
So fierce!

At this moment, the [story timeline] forcibly staggers the timing of the two cases in this [cycle].

Even if faced with the resistance of reality and the alliance.

Before this cycle ends, before Conan reveals the truth about the Valentine's Day murder case—

The [Story Timeline] that has Conan's tendencies is invincible!

Even before the [story timeline], there was still enough energy to "isolate" Xiaolan alone in the Minagawa house.

After all, the impact of the [real timeline] is also real.

[Story Timeline] We must now also avoid the biggest loophole in this episode of the original novel.

If Xiaolan stayed now and listened to all of Kogoro Mouri's reasoning.

Then, she, who already has a tendency to "break the concept", will likely notice a logical loophole -

Why did Kogoro Mouri, who suddenly arrived, know what happened at the party before?
Where do those clues from different perspectives come from even though my father was not present at all?
But as long as Mao Lilan is not present.

She could only get the result that her father solved the case after the [cycle] ended.

Those doubts will always be just doubts, and will even be dispelled more thoroughly.

So everyone then heard Conan's - no, heard Kogoro Mouri's inexplicably convincing reasoning.

"Tanaka did intend to kill Mr. Minagawa, but what he didn't know was that Mr. Minagawa had a habit of pinching off the filter when smoking."

The police officer standing nearby immediately "raised" the evidence bag in his hand and showed it to everyone present, as well as to the "dual timeline" and the entire universe.

"It's actually true!" "Then who is the real murderer?!"

Everyone exclaimed immediately.

At the same time, everyone immediately agreed that it was Mr. Minagawa who personally put out the cigarette butt, and there was no other possibility.

After all, this is the reasoning result given by Conan.

The reality fluctuations caused by the fixation of this possibility can even be felt by Dr. Agasa who is far away in the underground laboratory.

The RSI value in front of him immediately jumped 5%.

The cycle is about to end.

The two timelines are about to separate with joy.

"The real murderer is——"

"Katsuhiko's mother!"

Ye Wenjie only felt that the solidified sea under his feet began to shake again.

The flames in the air brought not a burning sensation but the taste of sea breeze when inhaled into the lungs.

The RSI value jumped again, and this time the jump was faster and stronger than before.

On the screen in front of Ye Wenjie, the RSI value immediately jumped from three-quarters to almost full.

Conan continued his reasoning.

The truth and the experience at the time of the crime were revealed as if Kogoro Mouri had seen it with his own eyes.

"Everyone should remember the sushi everyone ate just now. It was the tropical fish sushi that Katsuhiko specifically mentioned that Ms. Yuriko prepared for this party."

"The toxins are in that sushi."

"But we all ate all that sushi?"

"Hehe," Maori Kogoro chuckled softly, "Because in fact, the poison that Katsuhiko was poisoned with was given to him by his mother the night before."

"Do you remember what Katsuhiko said at that time?"

“‘I tasted it the other night and it was delicious’.”

"That's what Katsuhiko said at the time, right?"

"It's February now, why are you using tropical fish to make sushi? Tropical fish are almost impossible to buy in seafood markets, and even if they are available, they are expensive because they are flown in."

"As for those tropical fish that have been frozen in advance, they are not suitable for making sushi at all."

Inspector Megure has now caught up with Kogoro Mouri's reasoning.

"That is to say, Katsuhiko's mother reserved that tropical fish a long time ago."

"That's right, Officer Megure. Do you still remember the cause of Katsuhiko's death?"

"It should be death caused by cardiac arrest."

"That's right!"

Kogoro Mouri's confident voice echoed in this small area.

"It's a carefully calculated form of ciguatera toxin, typically produced by marine microorganisms like the gambiae algae, which accumulates in large tropical fish through the food chain."

"And this toxicity is often less well-known and not usually directly fatal."

"But Ms. Yuriko specifically chose sushi for this reason!"

"In order to allow the taste of fresh fish to be revealed, the food is usually not processed too much."

"That is to say!"

Inspector Megure and everyone present turned their eyes to Minagawa Yuriko, who was already a little shaky.

"It was this attack on the nervous system and cardiovascular system that caused Katsuhiko's abnormal behavior at the party today!"

"I think Ms. Yuriko added some stimulant to the coffee everyone drank."

"For those who haven't eaten the poisonous fish, the additives added to coffee will only make people more agitated and excited."

"This explains everyone's unusual emotions today.

"And for Mr. Katsuhiko, who had been attacked by ciguatera toxins flowing in his blood vessels all day, that cup of coffee that accelerated his metabolism was the culprit that induced ventricular fibrillation and led to sudden death!"

This time, the truth is truly revealed.

For Dr. Agasa and Ye Wenjie, the previous performance of too low RSI value has completely disappeared.

"99.90, 99.95..."

The air was vibrating, and two pairs of hands, thousands of miles apart, simultaneously hovered over the holographic keys of the console.

Beads of sweat ran down his hair and cheeks. Dr. Agasa could hear nothing except the device that was always on alarm.

"RSI background value - 100."

At that moment, at the moment when the [story timeline] and the [real timeline] took action against both.

The button was pressed.

An electronic sound, a cold report voice, and some low-frequency humming sounded simultaneously.

"The [loop] has ended, and the [story timeline]/[real timeline] has been anchored."

"The RSI value is stable within the error range, and the space-time model structure at the end of the [cycle] is being sent..."

At the last moment before the end of the [cycle], the double cycle resonance began as planned.

In the office of core member Lin Sheng, Lin Sheng, who had already known the result "in advance", smiled.

Feeling the connection between himself and the two deeds buried in the timeline, he had already seen the future members of the alliance, or to be more precise, the figure outside his door who announced the good news.

For everyone in the [Alliance Cycle].

——The first crack came from above their heads, above the heads of everyone in the alliance base.

In the executive command hall close to the core layer.

Everyone saw that the space-time bridge transmission array on top of the device in the camera was shaking violently.

Six blue light bands swept into the distance along with the golden pulse emitted by the core device APTX-4869.

For Lin Sheng, he was not like the alliance members who could only see this scene with the help of instruments.

In his eyes, at the moment of moving away from the Alliance's own [Loop], a crack-like bridge of light moved towards the node where the two timelines intersected.

Immediately afterwards, the six blue light bands were instantly stretched and even turned translucent. They carefully attached themselves around the cracks like accretion disks attracted by a black hole.

The moment the first circle of golden pulse ended, like an unstoppable tide, another pulse followed, tearing the cracks further and wider while continuing to move towards two distant timelines.

In a very short moment, Dr. Agasa felt like he was being roasted, and then he felt an incomparable cold, as if even his own thoughts were frozen -

The time crystal used to hold the nuclear bomb in place at the moment of explosion was drained instantly.

The six light bands even captured the light and heat generated by the nuclear bomb explosion itself.

Because the time crystal was exhausted, the nuclear bomb was about to explode in Dr. Agasa's basement when all the light and heat it produced were pulled back.

Then a black sphere gradually expanded inside the "door".

Then frost began to form in the basement, and in the center of the Pacific Ocean, Ye Wenjie discovered that the sea water under the cruise ship began to freeze.

Fortunately, the light bands bursting out from both sides finally touched each other, reaching the limit. The energy system in the basement lit up again the next moment.

And all instruments immediately showed a "full charge" status.

The connection between [story timeline], [real timeline] and [loop] is completed.

The light band of the space-time bridge began to steadily absorb energy from the perpetual motion machine in the core layer.

Dr. Agasa collapsed to the ground, letting himself soak in the sweat that had soaked up the leg of his protective suit.

"We succeeded."

There was a hint of exhaustion and relief in his voice; it was all finally over.
