He glanced at Xiao Shan'ai and concluded that she was dead, then looked at the cards on the ground.

"It's the seven of spades and the joker."

Shiratori was also uneasy at this time. He shouted, "It's Murakami-jo! That guy is somewhere in this building!"

"Damn it, I'm going to investigate now!"

Kogoro took the initiative to ask Yin, but before he started to act, he heard Xiaolan's murmurs.

"Where is Mr. Sawaki?"

Everyone then realized that before Oyamauchi, there was Sawaki, number eight.

Shishido said casually, "I think he went to the wine cellar. He is a wine taster after all."

Kogoro's purpose changed, and they immediately ran to the wine cellar. There, they found Winette pretending to be Zemu Gongping. At this time, she was sitting with her back against a wooden barrel, with cold sweat on her forehead. At her side - in the center of the wooden barrel, there was a crossbow arrow.

"Please pay close attention, there may be a trap here."

Winnett reminded.

Megure and the others who entered the wine cellar also raised their vigilance. After a simple investigation, Shiratori found the mechanism that automatically fired the crossbow. He observed the crossbow and concluded that it was the same crossbow that attacked Megure and Dr. Agasa.

"Officer, this is the same crossbow that Murakami-jo used."

After calming down, Winnett began to talk. After the search began, she wanted to go to the wine cellar to check out the situation, because she heard that there was also a collection of wines like Chartreuse, so she wanted to take a look, and she almost got shot. She said that not long after the crossbow arrow was fired, the power system was cut off, and because she was worried about other traps, she sat on the ground and did not dare to act rashly.

Then, Kogoro found the eight of spades near the crossbow.

"So, the Joker represents death?"

he murmured.

"Death?" Winnet pretended not to understand.

When she heard about the assassination of Oyama, she pretended to be surprised and followed the others back to the living room. Kogoro was determined to turn the place upside down and catch Murakami, so Shiratori followed him to look for him.

Megure returned to the living room and saw Shishido taking pictures of Nana Koyama's body. This made him feel uncomfortable, so he stepped forward to remind him, but he was retorted without any temper. Shishido said that he could not contact the outside world at the moment, and in this case, only Megure could perform the autopsy, and he was just taking pictures of the scene.

Megure urged him to hand it in, and the latter nodded perfunctorily.

At the same time, Conan also asked Winnet what happened. Winnet briefly described what happened in the wine cellar, omitting the details in her words to prevent Conan from quickly discovering the flaws.

This also conforms to the pattern of numbers. Conan did not doubt it for the time being, but turned to report the information about fluorescent nail polish to Megure - this was the key for the murderer to lock onto the hill in the dark.

Winnet secretly watched Conan thinking and thought that he was still kept in the dark.

When she killed Oyamauchi, she deliberately used the same dominant hand as Murakami Jō, which was her left hand. There were no accidents during the whole process because she was used to moving in the dark and left almost no clues.

……

Conan felt very complicated.

He checked the body and found that one of Xiao Shan's fake nails was missing. He thought she must have struggled before she died. He opened Xiao Shan's collar a little and found that her neck was strangled. He frowned, which means that the murderer strangled her when he killed her, and the tip of the knife pierced her heart. In this case, it should be the right hand that controlled her. Judging from the direction of the blade, the murderer should be left-handed.

Conan recalled the photo of Murakami Takeshi dealing cards, and he should also be left-handed.

Is the murderer really Murakami Joe?

He racked his brains and suddenly thought of -

"How can this be?"

He remembered the gangster who pointed a crossbow at Dr. Agasa. He was clearly using his right hand to shoot the arrow. Could it be that Murakami Jō was a person who could use both hands flexibly?

Although the number of ambidextrous people is not rare, they only account for less than 1% of the population, so it is still relatively difficult to meet such people in real life.

Just as he was thinking——

boom!

There was a noise somewhere in the building.

The power went out again.

Megure yelled, "What happened?"

"It should be the sound of an explosion. I don't know where the explosion happened!" Bai Niao explained.

Megure suddenly realized, and he quickly pointed his finger at Shiratori: "Brother Shiratori, you must protect Mr. Yongming!"

"Yes!"

Shiratori immediately rushed out, shouting Shishido's name.

Shishido turned on the lighter and a burst of fire came out: "I'm here!"

Shiratori closed the lid of the lighter and said anxiously, "Turn it off quickly. Do you want to die?"

In a dark environment, everyone else is in danger.

Winnett, who pressed the explosion button, also felt that this design was quite troublesome. Judging from the explosion just now, the pillars of the building were destroyed, but the power was not very strong. Before the building really collapsed, they just had to run to the upper floors and they would be fine - after the building sank, they would just float on the water.

After considering the pros and cons, Winnet decided to press the second detonation button.

In the dark, Kogoro greeted her, so she responded according to Zemu's idea, saying that she would go back to her hometown in the countryside to take care of her parents.

Frankly speaking, apart from being a little perverted and crazy, this guy Zemu still has some good points.

At this time, the environment was lit up again, and Megure was overjoyed: "Great, it's the emergency lights!"

Before he could continue to be happy, Winnet continued to press the second button.

The inside of the fish tank exploded.

If a window exploded, the water would burst out due to the excessive pressure, which would be even more dangerous. Zemu had obviously considered this and placed weak bombs behind each glass. In the successive explosions, the water rushed into the hall.

The current impact force is within the tolerable range.

After Winnett made her judgment, she swam upstream.

Nishina, who Sawaki wanted to kill, was rescued by Kogoro. Winette looked around and even Conan floated up.

She waited another two or three seconds.

Where is Xiaolan?

Winnet frowned slightly. Japanese schools all have swimming classes, and there is no reason for an athlete like Xiaolan to be a landlubber.

She saw Conan take an empty bottle, fill it with air, lock the mouth of the bottle, and dive again.

As for the little white mouse that Ai values, she would not just let him die. And as for Xiaolan, they also have a friendship on a daily basis, so she naturally would not just leave it alone.

Although she didn't dive directly, she still paid attention to every move in the water.

Xiaolan was stuck in the car, and then Conan put the bottle of oxygen to her lips, and then stupidly got himself stuck again.

Winnett began to dive.

That was her original plan, but she immediately saw a very graphic scene——

Xiaolan delivers oxygen to Conan through her lips.

Winnet replaced Conan with Kudo Shinichi.

Ok……

Why do I feel a little envious?

Even though it was a bit of an inappropriate time, it really felt like a movie!

At this time, Dr. Agasa's black technology came into play again, making Winnet lose all hope of rescue. Conan passed the retractable sling through the car body, tied it to the load-bearing column, and partially lifted the car. Kogoro dived and carried Xiaolan, who was beginning to drown, back to the surface of the water.

People safe is good.

Miss Winnett even felt that Kudo Shinichi should thank her.

Otherwise, you may not be able to get close to each other even after ten or eight years!

Seeing Xiaolan choking on water, Winette’s worries were put to rest. At least she didn’t need anyone to perform artificial respiration.

"Dad..." The weak Xiaolan looked at Kogoro who was holding her.

"Xiaolan, you have to thank Conan."

"Thank you, Conan."

Kogoro's prejudice against Conan temporarily disappeared, and Conan, who was grateful to Xiaolan, felt like he was soaked in boiling water, and his whole body was boiling.

"It's nothing..."

Conan said shyly, diving down to avoid blushing, blowing bubbles like a fish.

……

341 Hijacking Time

It turned out that everyone was safe and sound, except for Megure who had some problems and groaned in pain while holding his side abdomen.

"what happened?"

The white bird beside him asked anxiously.

"It seems that my wound just split open."

"What did you say?"

Winnet had forgotten all about this, and the dedicated orange police officer still went into battle injured, without showing any signs of pain before.

Winnet didn't want him to get into trouble. It was rare to find a friendly police officer who could give instructions and say a few words to an outsider like her. She had a good impression of him because he was polite and authoritative.

She held onto the decorative beams on the roof, pointed toward the water and said, “Look at that, everyone!”

Taking advantage of the chaos, Winette threw out the playing cards and continued to carry out Zemu's plan.

The key to his plan to throw out all the cards at once was to involve everyone in the explosion, but unfortunately, the person he had expected, Minoru Nishina, was still alive.

White Bird looked at the floating cards and said, "They are the cards from the two to the six of spades."

"Damn it, it turns out he wanted to kill us all in one go! What a joke!"

Shishido Nagaaki finally got anxious.

"But if we keep going like this, we'll die sooner or later. We can't find a way out now."

Ford said in despair.

"Wrong, there is an exit!"

"what?"

"Yes, that's the broken glass window."

Conan shouted, reminding everyone.

"Right, we just need to escape from there in the opposite direction to the sea."

Kogoro suddenly realized.

Hearing what he said, Nishina Minoru was not happy at all. He said pessimistically: "I can't do it! It's impossible for me to..."

"Don't get discouraged so soon! I will take you out, don't worry."

Shishido assured Nishina.

Ford said he wanted to take Conan with him, but Conan refused. "I can swim alone, no problem." He said, and then looked at Xiaolan who was not fully conscious.

Maori Kogoro looked at Xiaolan gently, and said to her in an ordinary but firm tone: "Dad will take you out later, you have to hold on for a while, Xiaolan."

Xiaolan nodded at him, expressing her trust.

Shiratori also supported the painful-looking Megure and said she would take him out of here. Winnett, who had caused the current bad situation, had no intention of making things difficult for them. She took the initiative to volunteer and said she would take the lead in swimming out and lead the way for everyone. She had memorized the structural diagram of this place and could ensure the safety of everyone present.

"Then let's go."

she said, then took a breath and dived down.

Although she was prepared to help others, the situation was much better than she had imagined. Leaving the building through the blasting opening, she could clearly see the observation facilities on the upper floor of the water crystal. Winette led the way and lent a hand to those who swam over later.

She took over Megure and helped him drain the water from his mouth and nose.

Then, Kogoro brought Xiaolan ashore. Princess Shiratori held Xiaolan in her arms and placed her on the striped ring rest belt.

Winnet looked back at the water surface and didn't see Conan floating up. She thought that with his small temperament, he would definitely be jealous when he saw Shiratori hugging Xiaolan with such a gentle look on his face. She also wanted to see his wonderful expression.

However, Conan doesn't have time to care about this now.
