Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 51 Backstabbing Conan
"Eh? But Shizuka, you didn't find anything, did you?" After hearing Shizuka's words, Xiaolan walked beside Shizuka and asked in confusion.

"It's true that there wasn't anything found at the scene, but that doesn't mean I didn't find anything else." Tachibana Shizuka said softly to the girl beside him with a smile on his face:
"Didn't you just hear Conan say that the deceased came here to conduct illegal transactions and even spoke with his accomplices before he was blown to death?

Since illegal transactions are nothing more than buying and selling, no matter which type, cash needs a carrier."

"Is it the box that is uniformly provided by Mantiantang Company?" Xiaolan suddenly thought of the details that Conan described.

"That's right, smart." Tachibana Shizuka nodded. In any field, Tachibana Shizuka would never be stingy in praising the people he liked. If he blindly suppressed and denied them, wouldn't he become a CPU?
Perhaps because she had never been praised so directly by the opposite sex in this regard, Xiaolan seemed a little shy.

Tachibana Shizuka glanced at the blushing girl and continued, "Generally speaking, if you choose to do business in a public place like this, lockers are a good choice.

Whether it is the lockers at the train station or the lockers at the airport, they often appear in crime films or spy dramas.

So we just need to check the briefcases of the Paradise Company in the locker and we might get a clue."

"You're so awesome, Shizue." Xiaolan looked at him with admiration and praised Shizue Tachibana.

More than ten years ago, because there was a very talented detective by her side, Xiaolan could feel the power of Tachibana Seiji's analysis even more.

In fact, it’s not particularly amazing, it’s just that Tachibana Shizuka’s analysis and Kudo Shinichi’s reasoning take two different approaches.

Kudo Shinichi's reasoning is to find evidence first, and then make inferences based on the evidence.

On the other hand, Tachibana Shizuka first finds out several directions, and then searches for evidence based on those directions to find out the truth.

It's hard to say which one is better between the two, it depends more on the user's ability. Obviously, Tachibana Shizuka, who has the perspective cheat, is undoubtedly more skilled.

When Tachibana Shizuka arrived at the place, he whispered a few words to Inspector Megure, and then saw Inspector Megure's eyes light up.

Several detectives immediately went to the hotel's storage area, and then less than ten briefcases from the Mantiantang Company were piled together.

The owners of all these briefcases were gathered together by Inspector Megure, and after explaining the interests involved, Inspector Megure signaled to start opening the boxes for inspection.

Given the Japanese people's emphasis on privacy, this kind of high-profile inspection will definitely be resisted by everyone.

But as Mr. Lu Xun said, if you want to open a window in a dark room, you have to find a way to lift the roof first.

It just so happens that Inspector Megure has the ability to overturn the roof - if these briefcases are not inspected, then all the stored items in the lockers will be taken out and inspected one by one.

In the face of public outrage, no matter how reluctant the game company employees are, they have no choice but to let Inspector Megure open the box this time.

They checked about five or six boxes, and just as they were about to start checking the seventh box, Tachibana Shizuka suddenly noticed that two suspects among the group of suspects had unusual expressions.

Under the attention of the insight moment, these two people are nervous and fearful. As for the reasons for nervousness and fear,
That's naturally because one of the two people knew that the box was filled with money, while the other thought that the box was filled with bombs.

Tachibana Shizuka quietly waved to Officer Takagi who was on standby nearby, and pointed out the abnormality of the two people in a low voice.

Soon, before the seventh box was opened, Inspector Megure walked up to the two of them and shouted at them in a stern voice.

Faced with Inspector Megure's sudden suspicion, the two, already struggling with their mental health, simply admitted their "situation." Was one secretly reselling internal company information considered industrial espionage and embezzlement? The other simply planned to blow the first person up.

When they heard that there might be a box of bombs at the scene, everyone became nervous - especially the detective who was holding the box and didn't know whether to open it or not.

Tachibana Shizuka noticed that the unfortunate guy's face was completely frozen.

Officer Megure immediately began to comfort the people at the scene and immediately asked Officer Takagi to call the headquarters for support.

At the very least, bomb disposal experts from the explosive ordnance disposal team need to be present to determine whether there is a bomb in the box.

Conan looked at the "farce" at the scene and felt like he was being backstabbed.

What did Tachibana Shizuka say before? I'm not good at reasoning! What happened?
Then, with the help of Inspector Megure, this guy found the murderer!
I used his clues, listened to his description, and then whispered to Xiaolan without letting me hear it, right?!

At this moment, Conan just wanted to use his footwork to kick Tachibana Shizuka's butt hard.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do that yet, and he couldn't even watch Inspector Megure handle the case like that.

Because once this case is assigned to the Metropolitan Police Department, it will be very difficult for him to get more information, and time waits for no one! Conan has always been impulsive when it comes to clues about the Black Organization.

Here comes the needle, here comes the neck!

Maori Kogoro, who was originally watching the excitement, staggered and fell to the ground, posing in a very appropriate posture. Then he heard a loud shout from Maori Kogoro: "Wait a minute, Inspector Megure!"

"Brother Maori, are you ready to start?" Inspector Megure was pleasantly surprised at first, but then felt something was amiss: "But the murderer has already been found?"

"That's not what I want to talk about!" Conan snorted coldly and said in Maori Kogoro's voice pack: "Are you worried that the box is a bomb? Don't worry, the bomb has been detonated."

Conan shocked the audience with his opening statement, and then began his own reasoning.

Let's call the two suspects A and B.

A wants to resell company information, and B wants to blow A up. A and Tequila agree to trade at the venue. The transaction method is to exchange the boxes stored in the locker by exchanging the locker number plates.

But B also used this method to secretly exchange A's number plate at the venue and transferred a box of bombs to A's name.

Later, A and Tequila successfully exchanged number plates, but Tequila didn't know that he was holding B's bomb.

This resulted in Tequila being completely destroyed when the box was opened.

These inferences are not important. Conan said that these are just habits or they may put some psychological pressure on suspect A.

Because the following is what Conan really wants to ask Suspect A: "The black-clad man who is trading with you is organized, right?
Tell us everything you know!"
