Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

Loreleiya nodded. She understood what Li Xuan meant, so she didn't say anything else.

When they arrived not far from the crime scene, Xiaolan and the others had already stopped. In front of them were several police officers with hesitant expressions on their faces, including Blake.

"Young Master Li Xuan, please don't move forward. Someone has placed a gas that can make people unconscious somewhere in the venue." Blake saw Xiaolan and the others, and his eyes extended to see Lorelaia and Li Xuan behind them. He immediately walked over and stopped Li Xuan and the others from moving forward.

"So how do you plan to solve it now?" Li Xuan did not move forward, but he had clearly seen people sleeping all over the floor in the conference hall.

Blake's face was heavy. "We haven't determined yet what the gas that caused the coma was, but I have already had people cordon off the scene and mobilized emergency personnel."

While Blake was speaking, Maori Kogoro and the other two also arrived at the seventh floor panting. When they saw that Li Xuan and his group had arrived before them, an expression of surprise appeared on their faces.

"This? Miss Elena, you arrived earlier than us. Is the hotel elevator restored?" Kudo Yusaku immediately thought of the reason why they fell behind.

Elena covered her mouth and chuckled, "What a coincidence, the elevator was ready just as you ran up, and I took the elevator up with this super handsome guy and his female companion."

"So that's how it is. It seems like our luck is a bit bad today," Kudo Yusaku nodded, treating this matter as a problem of probability, and then began to ask Blake about the situation in the venue.

Hearing what Kudo Yusaku said, Li Xuan looked at Conan who was standing beside him. In Li Xuan's eyes, the black mist on Conan's body had already attached to Kudo Yusaku. Mouri Kogoro should have been the same, but the watch he was wearing on his wrist at this time exuded an internal energy defense that ordinary people could not see, blocking the black fog outside. Li Xuan was very familiar with that internal energy, it came from Xiaolan, and the watch was a gift Xiaolan bought for her father.

The black mist on Conan's body was very strange. Li Xuan discovered that even Xiaolan, who had been promoted to the real person realm by him, still could not see it. Xiaoying believed in supernatural things, and Xiaolan herself also entered an extraordinary realm with Li Xuan, so when Xiaolan gave a gift to Mouri Kogoro, she engraved a formation on the gift to defend against evil spirits.

Moreover, Li Xuan discovered something even more interesting. That is, as soon as Conan arrived on the seventh floor, the black fog on his body actually merged directly with the black fog that covered the entire conference hall. The black fog that was originally just fascinating the mind has now turned into a black fog that takes lives. The people lying on the ground in the conference hall are slowly having their vitality drained away.

"Inspector Blake, these are the gas masks in the hotel. We have mobilized them here," a police officer ran over with several boxes of gas masks in his hands.

After Yusaku Kudo and his team got the information from Blake, they saw police officers bringing gas masks over, so they quickly took one, opened it and put it on very skillfully, then rushed into the venue.

"Wait, Kudo, we don't know what kind of gas is inside. Gas masks may not be useful. Let my men go in first and try to rescue the unconscious person." Blake immediately spoke up to stop them when he saw what Kudo Yusaku and the other two were doing.

However, it was too late for him to stop them, as Yusaku Kudo, Kogoro Mori and Conan had already arrived at the gate of the venue.

"Blake, only by getting closest to the murderer can you find the murderer. There are many gases that can cause people to become comatose. I have seen the gas masks in the hotel. There is no damage at all. It is the highest level of anti-gas on the market, enough to block it. If it can't block it, then that would be hell," Kudo Yusaku paused, joked, and then entered the venue.

Boom!

Very neatly, after Kudo Yusaku entered the venue, he and Conan fell straight to the ground.

"Kudo!" "Kudo!" Kogoro Mouri and Elena, who was watching from outside, shouted in unison when they saw this scene.

-Elena

Chapter 426 The creepy laughter on the big screen

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Kogoro Mori wanted to squat down to check, but suddenly he felt a very uncomfortable feeling of depression and rushed out of the venue in a few steps.

The next moment after rushing out of the venue, Kogoro Mori felt the uncomfortable feeling of depression subside. He took off his gas mask and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.

"Huh, I'm alive. I almost thought I was going to die," Kogoro Mouri said, breathing heavily. The blue veins on his neck and his flushed face confirmed his statement.

When Xiaolan saw her father like this, she walked over quickly.

"Dad, are you okay?" Xiaolan helped Mouri Kogoro up with worry in her eyes.

After smoothing out his breathing, Kogoro Mouri spoke seriously, "The unknown gas inside can break through the interception of the gas mask. I run fast, but where are Kudo and that kid?"

"Uncle Kudo and Conan are still inside," Xiaolan pointed at two people, one big and one small, lying on the ground.

Blake came over and asked Kogoro Mori about the situation inside. After getting a response, his face became solemn. The most advanced gas mask on the market could not block the unknown gas in the venue. He was a little worried that the mask that would be sent by the police station later would be the same.

What's a bit strange is that Elena also came with Blake, but she didn't ask any questions. She just looked at Kudo Yusaku and Conan in the venue with a worried look on her face.

"Inspector Blake, are there any other ways to get the people in there out? For example, using a lasso," Elena quickly came up with an idea.

When Blake heard Elena's idea, his eyes lit up, "Yes, this method can be used. This matter is too important. I was nervous and didn't think of it for a while. Thank you for your reminder, Ms. Elena."

After thanking Elena, Blake immediately asked the police officer to notify the person in charge of the hotel to send up ropes and other tools.

"Inspector Blake, the hotel staff said the elevator is out of order and cannot be used at the moment. It can only be brought up manually." After the police officer called the hotel front desk, he got the news and immediately told Blake.

"Ah? There's a malfunction? Why does it happen at this time? Never mind, let them speed up. I'm worried that the situation inside will change." Blake gave the order immediately.

"Yes!" The police officer immediately began to put pressure on his teammates after receiving the order.

Less than two minutes later, several sweaty and breathless men ran up with several bundles of ropes hanging on their shoulders.

Blake simply asked someone to take the rope, connect it to a long stick and reach into the venue.

But the next scene immediately frightened Blake and the others who were watching outside.

The rope extended into the venue caught fire without any warning, and the iron rod broke and fell to the ground.

"Damn, what's going on? Try again," Blake said with a question mark on his face as he continued to give orders to his men.

The result was the same as the previous scene. The rope caught fire and the iron rod broke.

The strange scene confused the police officers present, and they all looked at their boss Blake.

Blake felt a headache when he saw the gaze directed at him.

At this moment, the large screen in the venue that had been off suddenly lit up, and at the same time, a creepy laugh came out of the speakers.

"ki! ki! ki! ki! ki!"

"Who's there!?" Blake saw the big screen light up and heard strange laughter, and he shouted quickly, his eyes fixed on the conference hall.

But no one responded to his question, and the creepy laughter continued to ring out at intervals. After almost a minute, an image appeared on the snowflake screen.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Aaron. Oh, it seems you have given me a nickname, Jack the Ripper," a man in a black robe and a white smiley mask spoke on the screen.

When the masked man said this, Blake, Maori Kogoro and others all looked surprised.

"Jack the Ripper? You imitate the criminal's methods of committing crimes. Who are you and what do you want to do? Do you know the identity of the person you attacked?" The solemn expression on Blake's face deepened and his brows were furrowed.

"Ki! Ki! Ki!, imitation? Is my existence so unbelievable to you?"

"Identity? These people are all parasites. If they all disappeared, I think this country would shine with a different luster."

The masked man's words made Blake feel like drawing his gun. They were obviously the words of an antisocial personality, but his eyes were unusually calm. He kept searching for the masked man's possible hiding place, and his mind was working rapidly.

"You want to find me? It's simple, let's play a game, and I'll be right here," the masked man laughed strangely a few more times, and then the image disappeared. The picture on the big screen turned again, and this time a dozen children appeared, looking around on a slightly old street.

"Hey, isn't that Conan? Why is he in the video?" Xiaolan immediately saw Conan observing the environment in the picture.

"Huh? It's really that kid. How come he is in the video?" Kogoro Mouri narrowed his eyes and also saw Conan.

At this time, the situation in the picture changed. A carriage rushed out directly and almost separated Conan and the others.

The carriage only appeared for a few seconds, but Blake's pupils shrank as he stared at the screen.

At this time, the screen flashed again and the masked man appeared again.

"This is my game screen, and these people are the players of the game. If they can catch me before I kill Holmes, they win. If I kill Holmes, I win. Then, I will kill them all. Kikiki, if anyone wants to participate, please come in," the masked man said, and the screen flashed again, switching back to Conan and the others' perspective.

"By the way, you seem to have accepted my witchcraft invitation, please try your best. If you lose, I will kill you too," the masked man's voice came from the speakers in the venue.

"Damn it, I have no clue at all. The murderer's method and motive, there is no trace at all," Kogoro Mouri punched the wall next to him, his face full of anger. This kind of criminal who leaves no trace is extremely difficult to deal with. When he was in the Metropolitan Police Department, every time he encountered this kind of criminal, it took a long time before he could get any results.

"Mr. Maori, please calm down. We still need you and Ms. Elena, two masters of reasoning, to help our police catch the murderer," Blake walked over, patted Kogoro Maori on the shoulder and comforted him.

After hearing what Blake said, Elena nodded and said, "I will definitely catch this murderer hiding in the dark."

Chapter 427 Judy

"I have no doubt that both of you are experts in reasoning, and we at the Metropolitan Police Department will fully assist you," Blake said, and set up a tight cordon at the entrance of the venue.

Then he asked several police officers to cooperate with Kogoro Maori and Elena to search outside the venue. Blake adjusted his state and walked up to Li Xuan with a smile on his face.

At this time, Li Xuan was sitting on the sofa not far away, enjoying the massage from Olga Marie from behind, and talking to Loreleia and the others about something.

"Master Li Xuan," Blake didn't walk too close, because the noble from the clock tower was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, so Blake stopped and spoke immediately.

Blake's words made Li Xuan stop comforting Xiaolan. He told Xiaolan about the witchcraft on Maori Kogoro. This kind of witchcraft was similar to what Black Jack said. If you touch it, you'd better not touch it. Otherwise, you will be attacked by the witchcraft, and ordinary people have no chance to avoid it.

Li Xuan told Xiaolan the solution, which was to catch the masked man in the picture just now.

Xiaolan was very confused because Li Xuan was talking about catching the masked man in the picture, but before she finished asking, Blake came over and interrupted her question.

Li Xuan glanced at Blake, nodded, and said nothing.

But Blake already knew what Li Xuan meant, and immediately spoke up to tell him his own story, "Master Li Xuan, I'm so sorry to disturb your interest. If you need to travel, I can let my subordinate Judy be your tour guide."

The Judy that Blake was talking about was his subordinate, a delicate-looking blonde beauty, who was looking at Li Xuan with eager eyes.

Li Xuan waved his hand and declined Blake's kindness, "Inspector Blake, I am quite interested in Jack the Ripper. When can you catch him?"

Blake scratched his head when he heard that, then responded in an unconfident tone, "Master Li Xuan, I don't know either. This time the murderer used methods that I have never encountered in all my years working at the Metropolitan Police Department. The most important thing is that we can't enter the crime scene right now, and many of our investigative methods cannot be used at all. We can only wait for support to arrive and then try to rescue the people inside, and then continue the search."

Blake often dealt with some financial groups and knew very well that the descendants of these people were very fond of novel things, and the descendants of world-class tycoons would never miss such fun. He came here just as a courtesy reminder.

Then, Blake spoke to Judy, who was beside him with stars in her eyes, "Officer Judy, you stay here to respond to the support sent by the Metropolitan Police Department. If Young Master Li Xuan has any questions or requests, you must respond with all your strength, understand?"

"Yes, sir!!" When Judy heard Blake's order to her, her body straightened instantly and her uniform shook a few times.

Blake nodded, turned around and went back to the cordon scene, searching outside with Maori Kogoro and the others.

When Judy saw Blake leave, she immediately walked up to Li Xuan and bowed deeply.

"Master Li Xuan, please give me your guidance. I am Judy Stelling, a first-class police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department of Britain. My third..., um..." Judy looked at Li Xuan with fiery eyes and spoke in a tone like a telegram, but when she came to the key information, she suddenly found that she couldn't say the words she was about to say.

Li Xuan felt Olga Marie, who was giving him a massage, leaning slightly towards his neck, and Lorelei, who was sitting next to him and holding his hand, still had a noble and elegant expression on her face, but her arms were moving with slight force. Li Xuan smiled and said to Judy, the mature beauty, "Hello, Miss Judy, I don't have anything to trouble you for now, I'll call you if I need anything."

"I'm waiting for your orders, Master Li Xuan." Judy found that after Li finished speaking, she regained the ability to speak, so she straightened her body again, and her uniform shook a few more times.

Li Xuan gently held Lorelei's five fingers with his right hand and rubbed them gently for a few times, "Lorelei, are you envious?"

There was a hint of unnaturalness in Lorelei's dignified expression. She just responded with force with her fingers and held Li Xuan's hand tightly. She was the same as Sonoko and the others, but very different from Xiaolan and the others. Seeing Judy's uniform shaking and the introduction, she couldn't help but perform a little magic trick at the first moment. She kept silent and made Judy lose the ability to make sound for a short time.

But Li Xuan found Lorelei's behavior a little cute. He blew his internal energy on Judy, breaking her silence. At the same time, he held Lorelei's hand and teased the beauty beside him.

"And you, Mary, I am very satisfied with your massage. If you come to be my maid, you will be an excellent maid who can be on par with Rem and the others", Li Xuan stretched his neck and squeezed the cotton.

Olga Marie felt the touch coming back and her face flushed, but she kept smiling and kneading Li Xuan's shoulders even harder.

When Judy saw Lorelei's warning look, her eager eyes and sharp thoughts calmed down a little. She just stood next to Li Xuan and chatted with him from time to time.

After a while, a dozen police officers came up from downstairs carrying bags of things. When Judy saw these people, her tone was a little reluctant, but she still paused her chat with Li Xuan and walked over, "I'm first-class police officer Judy, are you the support team?"

Among the dozen or so gasping police officers, a young man with a ferocious-looking face immediately saluted and said, "Hello, Officer Judy. I am Officer Andre Kamel, a first-class police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department. I received an order from Inspector Blake to come for support. The emergency doctor is already going upstairs. Where are the injured?"

Judy pointed to the venue, which was already cordoned off, and explained the current situation in detail.

The dozen or so people led by Andre Kamil are the risk emergency rescue team. They are all in very high physical fitness. They only rested for less than a minute before immediately putting on gas masks and instruments for detecting poison gas. After reporting to Blake, three of them were separated and walked in first.

Under Blake's hopeful eyes, the three members of the emergency team, who were equipped with the latest anti-poison methods of the British Metropolitan Police Department, fell to the ground after taking only a few steps and did not move.
