Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

The emcee continued, "Please wait a moment, the memorial service is about to begin."

"Ok."

Inspector Megure thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, leading a few officers to stand against the wall on one side.

Meanwhile, the emcee had finished their opening remarks and was about to get to the main topic:

"Alright everyone, now, please join me in enjoying a precious video clip left behind by Director Sakamaki during his lifetime. As the video plays, let us pay our highest respects to Director Sakamaki."

clap clap-

As the emcee finished speaking, the lights were turned off, plunging the entire hall into darkness, with only the projector emitting a single light in the darkness.

Conan, who had just arrived at the memorial service, frowned upon seeing the scene.

"This is bad. In this situation, it's impossible to see the surrounding environment clearly, let alone find the members of the Black Organization or their target."

Just then, Yukiko turned her gaze away from Inspector Megure and the others. When she turned her head to look at Chen Feng again, she realized that he seemed completely unsurprised by their arrival, as if he had expected it.

He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know something?"

"what?"

"Don't play dumb."

Yukiko punched Chen Feng in the chest, but it didn't hurt; instead, it felt a little itchy.

"All right."

Chen Feng raised his hand and put his arm around Yukiko's slender waist: "The projection of the deceased is about to start. Don't worry about this now. Let's finish the memorial service first."

Feeling Chen Feng's hand on her waist, Yukiko struggled a couple of times in dissatisfaction, but when she couldn't break free, she gave up and let him hold her.

The videotape footage left by Shaw Brothers was projected onto a white screen, and as the footage played, the emcee's introduction echoed throughout the venue.

"This videotape is a recording of Director Sakamaki on the set of his most prized work, which was also his favorite piece..."

As the emcee's voice slowly rang out, Director Sakamaki's relatives and some of his close friends shed tears, their faces unable to conceal their grief at his passing.

Just then, a flash suddenly went off from somewhere, standing out clearly in the darkness and instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

In particular, Inspector Megure, who had come because of the report he received, naturally became alert immediately when something unusual happened at the memorial service.

The emcee paused slightly before smiling and beginning to speak:

"It seems our director, Sake Roll, is indeed deeply missed. Someone wanted to capture this memorable moment with a camera, but unfortunately, in such darkness, even with the flash on, nothing could be captured."

"Hahaha……"

The emcee's humorous voice rang out, causing many people to burst into laughter.

Everyone quickly put what had just happened out of their minds, and no one bothered to look for the source of the flash. They turned their attention back to the projection screen and continued listening to the explanation.

Inspector Megure also lowered his guard and stopped paying attention to this.

But just then...

A burst of fire suddenly appeared behind everyone.

With a whooshing sound of wind breaking and the cracking sound of shattering glass, Inspector Megure, who had just lowered his guard, instantly became alert.

"Quickly turn on the lights in the room!"

Inspector Megure spoke in an unquestionable tone, his years of experience as a police officer making him keenly aware that the series of unexpected events were by no means a coincidence!

Many people at the scene were initially frowning at the meddlesome policeman, with some even gossiping that he was being overly sensitive, constantly interrupting the memorial service and showing no manners whatsoever…

Ignoring the murmurs of the crowd, Inspector Megure ordered the lights to be turned on. The moment the lights were turned on, the doubts vanished, replaced by astonished expressions.

The giant crystal chandelier that had been hanging from the ceiling in the very center of the hall had fallen down at some point, and a person was lying under the chandelier.

"Mr. Shigehiko Tobuchi!"

The reporter who had just interviewed him immediately recognized the man on the ground.

However, at this moment, Shigehiko Tobukuro was being pressed firmly to the ground by the huge crystal chandelier, motionless, with blood gushing from his head, forming a bloody "stream" on the ground.

The surrounding crowd was stunned for a few seconds before they came to their senses and began to discuss the matter.

"What happened? How did the crystal chandelier fall down? And why did it hit Mr. Tonguchi Shigehiko?"

"I remember this light was added during the renovation a while ago, it shouldn't be this flimsy, right?"

"Who knows? There are plenty of shoddy construction projects these days. Maybe the decorators just did a sloppy job."

Conan emerged from the crowd, glanced in the direction of Shigehiko Tobuchi, and then looked up to scan the crowd.

"The series of events just now was clearly orchestrated; it couldn't have been a simple accident. The Black Organization members should still be here, but the lights were off throughout the entire place. Who is the culprit...?"

Conan frowned, unable to come up with a solution for the time being.

Yukiko, who was not far away, glanced at Chen Feng again.

As expected, Chen Feng showed no surprise and couldn't help but say:

"You didn't do this, did you?"

Snapped!

"what!"

Chen Feng subtly nudged Yukiko and rolled his eyes at her, saying, "What are you thinking? If I were doing this, my technique wouldn't be so clumsy."

Yukiko rubbed the spot where she had been hit, glared angrily at Chen Feng, and said nothing more.

She still believed Chen Feng's words.

After all, someone who is proficient in all kinds of skills and can escape unscathed time and time again despite being blocked by the US FBI and the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department, if Chen Feng really wanted to kill someone, he probably had plenty of ways to do so without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Inspector Megure walked through the crowd to Shigehiko Tobuguchi, who had been hit by the giant crystal chandelier, and reached out to probe his neck.

There was no pulse.

Although he dialed the emergency number immediately, it was clear that the victim could no longer use it.

“Our police had received a report that someone was going to be murdered here. The person who called the police used a voice changer. We thought it was a prank, but now it seems to be real. We just didn’t expect the victim to be Mr. Shigehiko Toguchi.”

Inspector Megure's face was stern as he scanned the people around him.

Takagi Wataru, Sato Miwako, and others quickly stepped forward to block the onlookers from getting close and prevent the scene from being damaged.

Chapter 303 The Phantom Thief Detective Returns

"If a voice changer was used to call the police, could it just be a simple prank, but it happened to coincide with this accident, which is why it turned into calling the police in advance?"

One of the guests tentatively spoke up.

As ordinary people, we are always willing to believe the truth that is in our favor, even if the truth does not seem very credible.

If this was just an accident, it means there was no murderer at the scene, and they naturally wouldn't have to go through the tedious procedures with the police, and might even be treated as suspects.

As expected, his words immediately resonated with many people.

"In my opinion, it's just a farce where a prank and an accident collided. It was so dark just now, how could anyone have done that? Let us go now, I have things to do."

"Yeah, the corpses here are really scary. I don't want to stay here any longer."

People were talking all at once, and it was clear that no one wanted to stay next to the corpse any longer.

Inspector Megure frowned deeply.

As a police officer, he naturally wouldn't believe such a simple explanation, but he couldn't produce any substantial evidence at the moment.

The scene froze for a moment.

Just then, the dozen or so people closest to the door finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"I don't want to stay in this awful place any longer, let me leave!"

"Me too, let's go together."

"Me too!"

As they spoke, the group rushed forward, ignoring the police officers' attempts to stop them, and headed straight for the door.

"Stop them!"

Inspector Megure was startled by what he saw and quickly spoke up.

Several police officers quickly stepped forward, closed the door again, and stood guard at the entrance. However, even so, about ten people still managed to escape from the scene.

"hateful!"

Inspector Megure cursed under his breath, "How did the killer do that?"

Just then, Conan, who had been hiding under the table, seemed to have thought of something. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came out first.

"Inspector Megure, perhaps I can help you."

"Ok?"

Inspector Megure frowned and turned his head, but the moment he saw the speaker, his frown instantly relaxed and turned into a smile:

"Brother Kudo? You're here too!"

Upon seeing "Shinichi Kudo" emerge first, Conan was furious and gritted his teeth.

"That despicable thief is actually using my name to swindle people!"

Seemingly noticing Conan's gaze, Chen Feng turned his head and gave him a smile before approaching again.

"I came with my mother to attend the memorial service for director Jiu Juan, but I never expected to encounter something like this."

"Ah, Yukiko-san is here too."

Inspector Megure then noticed Yukiko standing behind Chen Feng and quickly greeted her with a smile.

Yukiko responded with a smile.

Vermouth, who was not far away, frowned slightly.

If others don't know the true identity of "Shinichi Kudo," how could she not know?
