Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Someone who knew about their assassination attempt on Shigehiko Tomoguchi two weeks ago might actually be able to find Pisco.

Thinking of this, Vermouth glanced around to make sure that Kenzo Masuyama, also known as Pisco, was not present. She then quickly took out her phone, typed a message, and sent it to Gin:

"Pisco may be exposed. Prepare in advance and wait for my signal."

At this moment, Gin, who was still inside the building, also noticed this message.

After a moment's thought, he turned to look in the direction of the vodka and asked, "Send a message to ask where that old bastard Pisco is now? I want to see him."

"Now?"

Vodka was slightly surprised. Pisco had just finished his mission, so seeing him now would be too risky.

"Ask now, immediately!"

Hearing Gin's tone become serious, Vodka didn't dare to be negligent and quickly took out the communication device issued to them by their organization to send a message to Pisco.

Within minutes, a message came back.

Vodka glanced at the information above and then said, "Brother, he said he's in the wine cellar on the basement level."

"Let's go then." Without mincing words, Gin spoke directly and headed towards the elevator, with Vodka quickly following.

……

Returning our attention to the memorial service, Inspector Megure was overjoyed to see "Shinichi Kudo" appear.

This was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just dozing off, so he quickly said:

"Brother Kudo, can you figure out who the murderer is?"

"of course."

Chen Feng smiled and then took out a purple handkerchief from his pocket.

Those were handkerchiefs prepared for each member of the memorial service, intended for them to use to wipe away tears when they were sad. Of course, most people didn't need them.

Chen Feng unfolded the handkerchief, and in the middle of the purple handkerchief, a small round hole was clearly visible. The area around the hole was blackened, as if it had been burned.

"This is……"

Upon seeing this thing, Conan's eyes widened instantly, and in a flash, he understood!

"When we entered the venue, the organizers gave each of us a handkerchief like this. Some people had white ones, some had red ones, and some had the color I have, which is purple."

“I just checked the front desk registration form. There are a total of seven people who received this color handkerchief: Mr. Kenzo Masuyama, Ms. Chris the star, Mr. Naomichi Mugakura the emcee, Mr. Yoshiharu Tawara, Mr. Yasuo Sanpei, Ms. Mika Nanjo, and Mr. Naoshige Tarumi.”

As he spoke, Chen Feng smiled and glanced at each of them.

"I regret to inform you that the murderer is among you."

"what!"

"This is absurd!"

“I can’t accept that a tattered handkerchief can define us as suspects.”

Upon hearing that they were being treated as murderers, the people whose names were called reacted like cats whose tails had been stepped on, and immediately began to refute them.

Only Vermouth looked at Chen Feng with amusement, gently licking her slightly dry lips.

Interestingly, she even began to admire this flamboyant and haphazard thief.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Inspector Megure frowned as well: "Brother Kudo, what's wrong with this handkerchief? Is there a problem?"

"It's actually very simple."

Chen Feng stretched out his left hand, made a "gun" shape, and pointed to the spot where the previously fallen crystal chandelier was hanging.

"After ruling out the possibility that the chandelier fell off for no reason, there is only one possibility: someone used a pistol to break the chandelier's hanging ring, causing the chandelier to fall and crush Mr. Swallow's Mouth to death."

"And this handkerchief..."

Chen Feng paused slightly, then covered his hands with the handkerchief: "This handkerchief is to cover up the conspicuous flash of the pistol in the dark."

……

Chapter 304 Gin, the Teammate Killer

Upon hearing this, several people's expressions changed.

The handkerchief was given to them at the memorial service registration area when they entered, but they didn't need it, so most people had long since thrown it away.

But now this handkerchief has become evidence of murder. If they can't produce an intact handkerchief, won't they be considered murderers?

Upon realizing this, apart from Vermouth and Naomichi Mugakura, who still had his handkerchief on him, everyone else couldn't help but show expressions of panic.

Inspector Megure then approached and said, "So, these are all suspects. We'll have to ask for your cooperation in the investigation."

"Officer, my handkerchief is still here, intact. Shouldn't that clear me of suspicion?"

Upon seeing Inspector Megure approach, the emcee, Naomichi Mugakura, quickly took out a purple handkerchief from his pocket and unfolded it.

Indeed, the handkerchief was very clean, without any signs of damage.

Others couldn't sit still any longer and began to speak up:

"Officer, I threw my handkerchief in the trash can in the corner a long time ago, this is definitely not mine."

"Me too, I threw away my handkerchief a long time ago."

"Me too."

Everyone started talking at once, hurriedly trying to defend themselves, afraid that they might be arrested as murderers if they weren't careful.

Vermouth, on the other hand, looked calmly at Chen Feng, wanting to see what the thief would do next.

"Everyone, there's no need to worry."

Chen Feng spoke again at this moment, and a broken metal ring appeared in his hand. It was the ring that was used to fix the crystal chandelier to the ceiling, but it had been smashed.

"To hit the chandelier ring so accurately in the dark shows that the person had already found the right angle and was just waiting for the right moment to hit the ring precisely, even in the dark."

At this point, Chen Feng paused and looked at Naomichi Muikura, who was serving as the master of ceremonies for the memorial service.

When he saw Chen Feng looking over, Mai Cangzhi panicked, fearing that he would be mistaken for a murderer, and quickly tried to speak up to defend himself.

But before he could speak, Chen Feng spoke again:

“When the chandelier fell, Mr. Naomichi Mugakura was acting as the emcee and explaining the projected video to the guests. He was seen by countless eyes and could not have had the opportunity to commit the crime, so his suspicion can be ruled out.”

Upon hearing that he had been cleared of suspicion, Naomichi Mugura finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Chen Feng turned and continued, "Miss Chris and Mr. Tawara Yoshiharu were positioned not far from the chandelier at the time, so there was no angle for them to shoot, and they can naturally be ruled out as suspects."

Inspector Megure nodded in agreement.

"Finally, there are three of us."

Chen Feng's gaze fell on Nanjo Mika, Tarumi Naozai, and Sanpei Yasuo.

At this moment, Chen Feng reached out his hand to Yukiko, who immediately understood and handed a camera to him.

The moment the camera was taken out, a reporter in the crowd exclaimed in surprise, "That's my camera!"

"That's right, it's this reporter's camera."

Chen Feng frankly admitted: "I don't know if everyone remembers the flash that appeared when the video was playing?"

The group nodded in agreement.

"Actually, it was a coincidence. The reporter friend originally just wanted to take a few photos of the projection, but due to an operational error, he didn't turn off the flash. In his panic, he took some other photos instead."

As he spoke, Chen Feng turned on his camera and showed it to everyone.

In the photos taken by the camera, although the overall environment was dark, one could still vaguely see Nanjo Mika and Tarumi Naoya embracing each other with happy expressions, and next to them was a man smoking a cigarette, who was none other than Sanpei Yasuo.

"The time between the flash and the chandelier falling was only a few seconds. Naturally, they wouldn't have had time to quickly draw their guns and shoot at the rings in those few seconds."

"And the real murderer..."

Chen Feng smiled and pressed the button for the next page.

The next picture was immediately shown to everyone, in which a person was holding a pistol and pointing it at the ceiling, his finger twitching slightly, as if he was about to pull the trigger.

"Mr. Kenzo Masuyama!"

A person nearby exclaimed in surprise.

"I never expected it was made by Mr. Kenzo Masuyama."

"But...where are the others?"

"Did you run out with the crowd that just rushed out?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Inspector Megure no longer hesitated and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to give the order:

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! Immediately seal off all entrances and exits of the building. Also, search the building and arrest Kenzo Masuyama."

"One set received."

"Second group received."

"Group Three received."

……

At this moment, in the wine cellar on the basement level.

Gin and Vodka have already met in Pisco, which is where Kenzo Masuyama is.

Upon seeing the two people who had arrived, Kenzo Masuyama frowned and asked, "What brings you to me in such a hurry? Don't you know that meeting me suddenly like this is dangerous?"

"certainly……"

jingle--

Before Gin could finish speaking, his phone vibrated slightly.

Gin took out his phone, glanced at the messages on it, and then looked up again with a cold smile on his face:

"Of course I know it's dangerous, but I'm here to help you get out of danger completely."

"Completely out of danger?"

Kenzo Masuyama asked in confusion, "How do I break away?"
