"But she lives alone, doesn't she? Why would a high school student live in a double room like this? Are kids these days so rich..."

At the base of the bedroom wall, two small suitcases were neatly placed side by side, clearly showing no signs of having been touched.

After going through half of the search process in his mind and confirming that no corner was missed, Kogoro Mouri closed the bedroom door, turned and walked out of the suite, and said to Xiaolan and Sonoko who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time.

"Okay, I've searched the entire place. The criminal shouldn't have come here. You can go in..." He suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words.

"That's why I told you that no one comes to our place. If someone really comes, with so many of us here, it's impossible not to see them." Yuanzi complained.

"No, wait..."

Only then did Kogoro Mori react.

"Why are there only two of you in the corridor? Where are the others? Where's Conan?"

"other people?"

Yuanzi thought about it and said in order.

"The little brat went to the crime scene next door with Sera and Qin to check the situation. Director Furuli seemed to have been complained by the hotel residents about parking in the wrong place, so he went downstairs to move the car. The hotel waiter also left first because he had something to do..."

"What!? That brat always likes to hang out at crime scenes and always acts on his own! I have to teach him a lesson this time!"

However, Kogoro Mori didn't bother to wait for Sonoko to finish her words. He angrily pushed open the door of the next suite and rushed in.

Then he almost bumped into a dog that happened to come out of the door.

"Oh!"

Qin Wuque jumped back swiftly to avoid it.

Kogoro Mori was able to stop the attack in time thanks to the training he had received in the police academy.

"Long time no see, Mr. Mao Li." Qin Wuque said with a smile.

"What do you mean by long time no see? Didn't we just meet at the Metropolitan Police Department last time?"

Kogoro Mori was very angry at the moment and spoke in a rough and unpleasant voice.

But his body was very honest and subconsciously avoided Qin Wuque, and instead directed its attack at Conan and Sera Masumi who followed him out of the inner room.

Even Kogoro Mori himself couldn't explain why. When he faced this sunny-looking young man who seemed to be only in his twenties, although he had an overwhelming advantage in mental age, he always felt an inexplicable sense of awe in his heart.

"Hey! What are you two doing? The police haven't come to collect evidence yet. What if the scene is destroyed? And the criminal hasn't been found yet. If you wander around, you might encounter something dangerous! Do you understand?" Kogoro Mouri scolded loudly.

"Clearly"*2

Faced with the scolding from Kogoro Mouri, which seemed furious but actually showed concern, Conan and Masumi Sera both put on a lovely smile, as if they were humbly accepting the criticism but refusing to change.

Simply put, it goes in one ear and out the right ear.

When Yuanzi, who was waiting in the corridor, saw Qin Wuque coming out of the room, she immediately rushed over to him, not even caring about her best friend who had been waiting outside with her for such a long time.

"Brother Qin, what's the situation inside? Does the prisoner know who he is?"

"The situation can only be described as quite tragic."

Qin Wuque deliberately pretended to have a very sad expression and tone.

"The victim died in a horrible way. He was stabbed in the heart and was bleeding profusely. The blood sprayed directly onto the ceiling, staining the entire ceiling red."

“No…right?”

Sonoko and Xiaolan covered their mouths in shock.

"So I told you not to come in."

Qin Wuque's tone returned to normal in an instant and he shrugged.

“It’s really scary anyway~”

"Uh……"

Putting it this way, it doesn’t seem scary at all!

No one noticed that just as Kogoro Mouri was scolding Conan and Sera Masumi, Qin Wuque and Sonoko Xiaolan were talking about the crime scene, a hook as thin as a fishing line gently hooked on the balcony fence of Suite 3004.

The next second, a small and nimble figure silently climbed up from the balcony on the lower floor.

……

Mary Akai walked quietly into the suite from the balcony. While no one was paying attention, she slipped into the bedroom and closed the door.

"Cough cough..."

A suppressed cough sounded, and Akai Mari covered her mouth with her hand.

She had inexplicably developed this coughing problem ever since she was forced to drink the poison that shrinks people, but it seemed a little different from a simple cold. If it was a simple cold, she should have recovered after so many days, instead of continuing like a sickly person.

Should we say that this is the price that humans have to pay for forcibly defying the flow of time?

It was only from her colleagues who worked in intelligence at MI6 that she learned that once she took the drug, there would be only two results: either she would become like the child she was now, or she would die tragically on the spot.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that becoming a child is the best outcome.

Akai Mary laughed at herself in her heart.

She took out her cell phone from her pocket and took a look. The call was still connected.

Mary Akai listened to almost every word of the conversation between her daughter and Qin Wuque, even more seriously than she did when she was younger and doing listening comprehension exercises in school.

What is certain at the moment is that Qin Wuque's skills are stronger than Zhenchun's, and he may even be comparable to himself. The fact that he has killed people is consistent with his underworld background, but at the same time, he is a relatively straightforward young man who doesn't like to use his brain, and... it seems that he has a pretty good personality?

After all, she was from MI6 and had only recently come to Japan. If it weren't for what happened on the Hauerworth Bridge, she would probably still be an MI6 agent in the special forces. So it can be said that Akai Mary has almost no understanding of the distribution of Japanese underworld forces.

If she had any idea about the distribution of Japanese underworld forces, she would know that there were only two underworld organizations based in Tokyo.

One is the black organization founded by Karasuma Renya, and the other is the Nimatsukai.

A more appropriate example of the relationship between the Nicankai and the Karasuma Group is the Kingdom of Lucis and the Kingdom of Niflheim in the world view of "Final Fantasy 15".

The Kingdom of Lucis——a kingdom with only one capital left.

The Kingdom of Niflheim - except for the capital of the Kingdom of Lucis, all other regions in the world are superpowers with territories of other countries.

The difference is probably about this level.

And the fact that Qin Wuque could say that Tokyo was his territory was obviously impossible for this to come from the mouth of a surviving member of the Nimongol Society.

Then the answer is obvious.

Unfortunately, the asymmetry in information caused Mary Akai to make the most wrong decision in her life.

"It turns out that we still have to meet them in person."

Akai Mari muttered to herself.

Chapter 321 How many needles are there in Kogoro Mori's neck

Such a vicious murder occurred in the hotel, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department quickly dispatched personnel to the scene to resolve the case.

As expected, it’s still the hardworking Officer Megure... and his men.

As a result, the suite, which was originally quite spacious for one person, suddenly became crowded. A large number of forensic officers from the Metropolitan Police Department rushed into the room with their own forensic tools and conducted a thorough inspection of every corner that might contain evidence of the crime.

During this period, Conan was not idle either. Relying on his rather "petite" physique, he moved around among the adults and successfully collected all the necessary evidence using his own methods.

Of course, in the end, he was successfully driven out by the forensic officers who discovered his presence...

However, judging by the satisfied expression on this kid's face when he was thrown out by the scruff of his neck, he had obviously collected all the evidence he wanted.

"nailed it?"

In the hotel corridor, Qin Wuque squatted on the ground with his back against the wall and one hand supporting his cheek. He glanced sideways at a high school student who was in elementary school and was standing against the wall next to him after being thrown out of the room by the police forensic department.

"Well~ I guess so." Conan had a big bump on his head that was smoking, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"So, the criminal is the director?"

"Eh? You know?"

Conan was definitely shocked.

To be honest, he had originally planned to keep Qin Wuque in suspense.

"Isn't this obvious..." Qin Wuque said lazily.

"Just now in the room, I asked you if you knew who the criminal was, and you told me you knew. Then it's very obvious. The criminal must not be you, me, Sonoko, Ran, Sera, or Uncle Mori. The hotel waiter didn't look like him either... Then tell me who else it could be?"

"I'm too lazy to think about the criminal's methods, but you can't stand the process of elimination," he added.

"Uh……"

Conan's brows twitched subtly, feeling that his IQ was insulted.

"Then do you want to know the criminal's methods?"

"I don't want to. I should cooperate with you in the performance, but I'll just turn a blind eye." Qin Wuque didn't give him any face.

Conan's expression froze instantly.

Can we still chat today?

"To put it bluntly, your so-called methods are just clever tricks to conceal your tracks and avoid being discovered. They have nothing to do with the real murder methods, and they have no reference value to me." Qin Wuque said, "Besides, compared to the director's methods, I am more curious about his reasons for committing the crime."

"Reason for committing the crime?" Conan was puzzled.

"Because it is not easy for any ordinary person to kill others. The education you received since childhood is domestication education, telling you to restrain your instincts and abide by the law. You can't do anything illegal. You have to try hard to act like a 'normal person' like everyone else. You have to be able to read the atmosphere, otherwise you will be ostracized by the public... Over time, you will form the so-called 'bottom line'."

Qin Wuque tilted his head and looked at Conan.

"You can't shit on the table while everyone is eating. You can't put a boiling soup basin on someone's face. Killing someone is undoubtedly against the bottom line. So, aren't you curious about what kind of reason can make a person who has been domesticated and raised in a civilized society break his bottom line to achieve his goal?"

"But I'm not in a hurry." Qin Wuque continued to hold his chin in his hand.

"It's just like your deduction method. You'll tell me the truth when you identify the murderer later, so why should I be in such a hurry? And if I remember correctly, after the deduction part, there should be a kneeling, crying and confessing part. The standard sentence structure is probably something like 'It's all his fault, etc.'... Am I right?"

"Emmmm~"

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched twice, and he was speechless for a moment.

At this time, the staff of the police forensic department had finally completed their work and were walking out with their tools and large and small bags of stuff sealed in evidence bags.

The leading forensic officer saluted Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector, we will take our leave now."

"Well, thank you all for your hard work." Inspector Megure nodded seriously in return.

Qin Wuque, who saw this scene from the corridor, nudged Conan beside him with his elbow and raised his eyebrows.

"Go ahead, it's your turn to work."

"..."

Conan slapped the elbow away in dissatisfaction, then stood up and followed Kogoro Mouri into the crime scene.

However, unlike Maori Kogoro who was still looking around for clues, although he was also looking around, he was not collecting evidence, but...

"Oh, oh, Uncle Kogoro, are you free now? I have something I want to show you!"

Switching to the childish voice of an elementary school student without any psychological pressure, Conan skipped over to Kogoro Mouri, tugged at the latter's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"Is there something you want me to see?"

Kogoro Mouri looked down with empty eyes at this annoying little brat. For some reason, every time he saw him, a burst of karma would ignite in his heart, and he would subconsciously think of the face of a bastard brat who had stolen his daughter's heart.

"Can't you see I'm very busy right now? Besides, the people from the forensic department have already searched this suite inside and out. There's no way they missed anything."

Although he said this, his body honestly followed Conan.

Conan passed through the door connecting the suite's living room and the corridor leading to the balcony. He nimbly dodged and hid behind the door, quickly took out the anesthesia watch, opened the sight, and waited for the opportunity to come.

Kogoro Mori continued walking forward without knowing that he was wearing a condom, not realizing that the back of his neck was exposed to the sight of his son-in-law.

PIU——

A familiar silver light cut through the air and hit a familiar spot.

"Hey~"

A familiar sound effect of a pre-coma action came out of Kogoro Maori's mouth, and then his body seemed to be out of control. After making a few familiar difficult spinning moves, he slammed into the door frame he had just passed by, and sat down on the ground in a familiar sitting posture, with his head lowered forty-five degrees.

Boom!
