Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 52: Punishment Before Impulse

Suspect A is Nakajima Hideaki, a scumbag who also owes a large amount of debt.

The concept of this huge sum of money is that even if Nakajima Hideaki does not eat or drink and uses his salary to pay off the debt every month, his debt will only increase due to the compound interest.

This is also the main reason why he used his identity to resell the company's confidential information.

The scumbag is the key factor that led to the suspect B, Takeshita Yushin, wanting to blow him up.
Tachibana Shizuka once thought that this guy came to Beika Town to collect stamps. If one day he really succeeded in starting his own business and gave himself the buff of the Beika president, it would probably be considered a complete success, and he would have successfully turned himself into an old general on the stage.

It’s a pity that he is not the president of a successful business now, and his identity as a scumbag does not give him any confidence in front of the police.

Faced with Kogoro Mori's questioning, Nakajima Hideaki had no choice but to tell everything he knew.

As a passive trader, Nakajima Hideaki had no knowledge of the distillery. He only remembered the place where he met with Tequila every time.

On the 20th floor of the Dahei Building, not far from the press conference hotel, there is a bar called "Cocktail".

Just when no one could react, Conan had already rushed out of the press conference hotel. He - Edogawa Conan and Kudo Shinichi, was going to have double happiness today!

Not only can he confess his identity to Xiaolan, but he can also get clues about the Black Organization. What better news could there be than now?
Kogoro Mouri, who was originally talkative, fell into standby mode because of Conan's departure. Fortunately, the melon revealed by Nakajima Hideaki later was big enough that no one noticed it.

Apart from
"How is it, Shizue? Did you see anything?" Xiaolan puppy secretly pulled Shizue Tachibana and asked quietly.

When Tachibana Shizuka saw Xiaolan, he realized that she was a child who had never done anything bad. You can't feel guilty when this thing does something bad.

The more guilty you feel, the more obvious it will be. You have to feel justified in doing bad things!

Although aware of Xiaolan's lack of experience in doing bad things, Tachibana Shizuka still obediently let Xiaolan pull her aside and seriously analyzed:

"I didn't notice anything, but I just felt that your dad seemed to be really asleep right now?"

"Huh? That's impossible?" Xiaolan was a little unconvinced, so she slowly moved to Kogoro Mouri's side.

She reached out and gave a gentle push, and Kogoro Mouri stumbled and was about to fall to the side.

"father!"
.
Conan's legs moved very fast, even faster than the cars on the street. This was not outrageous for Conan.

Fortunately, the Dahei Building is not far from the conference hotel, and after the unbearable journey, the dawn of hope will soon come.

But isn’t this dawn a little too strong?

Looking at the top floor of the building with black smoke and flames in front of him, Conan was stunned for a moment.

The downstairs of the Dahei Building was filled with people watching the excitement, and they were all pointing and talking at the top floor of the Dahei Building.

Frightened office workers continued to run out of the building, and those who had survived stood aside, gasping for breath.

What's worse is that some people even open the microphone in the street.

"Baka! What the hell are these bastards doing in my ****ing 'cocktail' bar?

Why did the explosion happen out of the blue?
I*****!!!"

Conan didn't even need to start asking questions, as this old man who looked frightened by the explosion had already revealed a lot of information.

But Conan still felt the need to learn more about it, such as when exactly the Daikoku Building exploded.

After a while, Conan walked aside in a daze. The fire department and police had already arrived at the Daikoku Building one after another, but the chaos here seemed to have nothing to do with Conan.

Just now, Conan learned the exact time of the explosion from a passerby, and this time was particularly familiar to him.

Of course he was familiar with it. Wasn't the time when the "Cocktail" bar exploded not long after Tequila was completely destroyed at the press conference?

When Conan heard this time point, it was as if all his strength was drained away. This subtle time point made him realize one thing.

Tequila must be a member of the Black Organization, which means that not long after Tequila was accidentally killed, this bar, which may have been the organization's base and had contact with outsiders, was blown up at a designated location by the Black Organization in a clean and efficient manner.

Conan was a little frightened. I wouldn't say he was very frightened.

Because this was the first time he witnessed the ruthlessness of the Black Organization from their perspective.

If a stronghold that has been run for many years is abandoned just like that, then if his identity is exposed, will the people around him really have a chance to survive?

The nervousness and anticipation of revealing his identity to Xiaolan was instantly poured with a bucket of cold water.

Conan just felt that his previous thoughts were a bit impulsive.
.
"Look, you see, I told you that Conan is so smart, he definitely won't get lost." Tachibana Shizuka pulled Xiaolan's arm and pointed at Conan who was running not far away.

Seeing Conan running towards her from afar, Xiaolan was delighted at first, but then she walked over with an angry look on her face: "Conan! Where have you been running off to again?"

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan, I suddenly felt like going to the bathroom." Conan is also a veteran actor. When faced with Xiaolan's question, he immediately answered with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Really? Even if you need to go to the bathroom, you should tell me. Your brother Jingsi and I are worried!"

There was a look of worry in Xiaolan's eyes, mainly because Conan was a kid who had to go to the toilet for no reason.

Could it be that this child has some health problems?

What Xiaolan saw was the "fact" that Conan had kidney deficiency at a young age, but Tachibana Shizuka saw something different.

After discovering Conan, Tachibana Shizuka has been observing Conan carefully. Judging from the fact that Conan disappeared after Nakajima Hideaki revealed the location of the winery, this guy must have run to the Daikoku Building to find out.

The winery's director, Tachibana Shizuka, was also quite familiar with it, so if nothing unexpected happened, Conan should see a ruin when he arrived.

Conan must have felt lost seeing the clues he had obtained being completely cut off.

But the problem is, Conan is not someone who is easily defeated by failure, otherwise he would not have been entangled with the winery for more than 1000 episodes and more than 20 theatrical versions.

But Tachibana Shizuka clearly saw Conan's dejection, which had not yet been fully recovered. Why was that?

Tachibana Shizuka suddenly thought of Conan's abnormal behavior in the venue today. It was the kind of leeway that only a winner could have.

It was unreasonable for him to have such a winner's margin, especially in front of him and Xiaolan.

Could it be that Conan had intended to reveal the truth to Xiaolan from the beginning?
