Gin doesn't want to work hard

"An explosion occurred in the stairwell."

"Someone was killed in the bombing."

"However, it is still not possible to determine who the deceased is."

"Because of the close proximity, it was impossible to distinguish the deceased's features."

"Someone died?"

Kurosawa showed a hint of surprise at the opportune moment.

Then, with some concern, he said.

Were any other people injured?

Conan shook his head.

"It seems not at the moment."

"After all, the explosion occurred in the stairwell."

Most people would choose the elevator when going up or down stairs.

"Therefore, the only victim is the deceased."

"But that's precisely why we lack eyewitnesses."

Kurosawa nodded, then asked.

"So, what did you discover?"

"I found the distinctive metal tag on the briefcase of a game company employee at the scene."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the deceased was an employee of the game company."

"As for who it is, I plan to go to the storage area to ask."

"Did someone take the briefcase before the explosion?"

Kurosawa understood and gestured for Conan to do as he pleased.

Conan then ran over to the counter and started chatting with the receptionist.

Tequila, who witnessed the entire exchange between Kurosawa and Conan: ...

surprise?

Gin, what are you surprised about?

Are there people who have died that you don't know about?

Worried?

Are you, Gin, a person who worries?

Are you still worried about whether anyone got hurt?

Tequila said it was the funniest joke he had ever heard.

Of course, as a professional assassin.

Tequila doesn't laugh.

This is his professional ethics.

It has nothing to do with Gin's threatening look!

Intuition told Tequila that he shouldn't think too much about this.

So he asked.

"Is it alright to just let that child ask?"

After all, Conan's reasoning is generally quite accurate.

The person who died was indeed an employee of the game company.

And Hideaki Nakajima did indeed take out "his" briefcase before he died.

However, the briefcase had been secretly switched by someone.

The contents inside turned into a bomb.

Although, in Tequila's opinion, Conan, being just a child, couldn't possibly think of so much.

But what if the police find out the deceased's identity?

If the investigation uncovers something, it's hard to say.

Kurosawa shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Just then, Inspector Megure and a group of police officers and guests arrived.

With something like this happening, the press conference definitely can't go on.

Guests began lining up to collect their belongings.

Because Kogoro Mouri is not in good condition.

Ran Mouri didn't intend to take their things right now.

I plan to go later when there are fewer people.

At that moment, she also saw Kurosawa.

He immediately brought Kogoro Mouri over.

"Kurosawa-nii!"

Ran called out, then said somewhat apologetically.

"I was the one who invited Kurosawa-san over."

"But this happened."

"Kurosawa-kun, you haven't had a chance to experience it yet..."

Kurosawa said it was okay.

Ran Mouri still felt a little guilty.

"How about this, Kurosawa-kun, I'll treat you to a fun-filled arcade next time."

Kurosawa initially wanted to refuse.

But seeing Ran Mouri's resolute expression, he agreed.

"Kurosawa-nii! Ran-neechan!"

Conan then jogged over.

Judging from his reaction, he must have obtained some important clue.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in front of the group, he told them what he had discovered.

"I just asked the receptionist."

"She said that before the explosion, only Mr. Nakajima took the briefcase."

"what?"

Ran Mouri gasped, feeling a pang of pity.

"Doesn't that mean..."

"Yes."

Conan nodded.

"If that's really the case, then the deceased is Mr. Nakajima!"

But in this case.

Why was Mr. Nakajima killed in the bombing?

Conan fell into thought.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the bomb was placed in a briefcase.

But Mr. Nakajima clearly took his own briefcase.

Did someone secretly plant a bomb in his briefcase?

No, that's not right!

That's too much of a movement!

Moreover, if he remembers correctly...

Mr. Nakajima's briefcase was locked.

According to the receptionist, she had not left the counter before the explosion.

According to her, several people did come to take her belongings.

But they all left quickly.

They didn't do anything particularly significant.

Thus.

Compared to stuffing a bomb into a briefcase.

It would be much easier to simply swap the briefcases.

if it is like this.

Conan compared and selected several people mentioned by the company employees and the receptionist.

He quickly located the suspect.

However, to confirm this...

More evidence is needed.
