Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

He was sure that Xia Chuan was not lying. After all, he had known him for such a long time and he seemed to have never lied. He also provided important clues every time.

Zemu Gongping was shocked. How could this man named Xiachuan see him in the dark?

"Are you trying to trick me?"

As soon as he had this thought, Zemu Gongping saw Xiachuan looking at him.

He thought to himself that it was bad, his arms were stiff and he didn't know where to put them.

"Mr. Xiachuan, did you find anything?"

Xia Chuan didn't say anything, just stared at him.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Zemu Gongping swallowed his saliva, a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he began to panic.

"I closed my eyes before the lights went down, so I adapted to the darkness faster than any of you, and I am naturally the kind of person who can see clearly at night.

Just now, I saw with my own eyes that Zemu Gonghe ran up behind Nana Koyama and stabbed her to death. "

Hearing this, the other people all distanced themselves from Zemu Gongping.

"How could it be me? You just saw it. Nana Koyama and I didn't know each other at all before."

"What he said seems to be correct." Peter Ford nodded, "How can two people who have no connection with each other kill each other? There must be a motive for killing Nana Koyama, right?

Is it that the killing was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, or does it not matter who dies, and he just wants to kill people?"

Peter Ford's thoughts were a little unfocused. Conan's mouth twitched. How could it be possible? There must be a reason for killing someone. After all, the prison sentence for murder is at least ten or twenty years. How could someone kill people casually?

"Mr. Xia Chuan, you and I just met today. Why did you frame me? I was standing here without moving. She was so far away from me, it was impossible for me to do it."

Zemu Gongping suddenly had an idea and shouted in surprise, "Could it be that Mr. Xiachuan has been the one killing people all along? I see that there is a distance between you and the deceased. You should have plenty of time to stab her and then run back to your original position."

"That's boring, Mr. Sawaki.

Your distance is still acceptable. As long as you determine your position before the lights go dark, and rush over the instant the lights disappear, you will definitely be in time."

Xia Chuan shrugged, walked to the body, and grabbed the arm of Nana Koyama, whose warmth had faded. "Since you are unwilling to plead guilty and want to frame a good man like me, don't blame me for being rude."

"Look, Nana Koyama has always had the habit of wearing manicures, but one of her manicures has fallen off. I remember that before the lighting problem, she was still trimming her manicures, and the manicures on all ten fingers were still there."

Everyone looked as Xia Chuan pointed out and discovered that the deceased had bright purple manicures on his slender fingers.

This color of nail polish looks particularly good on fair and slender arms, the only flaw is that the nail polish on one finger has disappeared.

Zemu Gongping's expression froze, but he didn't think this was evidence: "Maybe it fell at some point. After all, it was pitch dark just now. Maybe she dropped it when she was panicking, or when she was struggling after being attacked by the murderer. What does it have to do with me?"

Xia Chuan's expression turned cold, "You are right about one thing. The nail did fall off when I was struggling under the attack of the murderer just now."

Xia Chuan squatted down and looked at the ground, then said: "I don't know if you noticed that there is no nail polish on the ground. Where do you think it would have fallen if it disappeared?"

"How am I supposed to know where her nails went!"

Conan listened quietly to Natsukawa's reasoning. He felt that the nail should be on Sawaki Kouhei, otherwise there would be no need for Natsukawa to say so much.

"I guess it should be in the murderer's pocket, what do you think, Mr. Zemu?"

After that, Xia Chuan raised his hand to stop everyone from looking at his pocket, and stared at Zemu Gongping: "Mr. Zemu is so far away from the deceased, that nail will not fall into your pocket, right? But in order to verify that my reasoning is wrong, please ask Mr. Zemu to let Officer Megure check your pocket.

Of course, to be fair, after checking Mr. Sawaki, Officer Megure can check the rest of us."

Zemu Gongping narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his arms unconsciously.

He wanted to feel his pocket to see if the nail polish was there.

To be honest, he was in such a hurry just now that he didn't notice whether Nana Koyama accidentally dropped the manicure into his pocket.

"Is it okay, Mr. Sawaki?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure immediately took a step forward.

"..."

Zemu Gongping lowered his head and said nothing, his hand already reaching into his pocket.

The next moment, his expression became extremely ugly.

There was indeed a piece of object in his pocket. If Natsukawa was not mistaken, that was the evidence that he killed Nana Koyama!

Xiachuan didn't give Zemu a fair chance to speak and took out another piece of paper.

"This just accidentally fell out of Nana Koyama's bag. It contains a vehicle maintenance form from three months ago. When I came to your house this afternoon, I saw a medical record on your desk. It seems that Mr. Sawaki lost his sense of taste due to a car accident.

As a wine taster, losing your sense of taste is like losing a hand. You should hate the person who brought you misfortune, right? "

Xia Chuan raised the list and continued to explain: "There is a coincidence here. The time when you repaired your car and saw the doctor is highly consistent. We have used our imaginations to make bold guesses and carefully verify them. Is it possible that the person who caused you to lose your sense of taste in the car accident three months ago was Nana Koyama.

And it was for this reason that you just killed Miss Koyama Nana."

"Very interesting reasoning." Zemu Gongping closed his eyes as if he was feeling something. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

"Mr. Natsukawa, as Mr. Maori said, you can really help him a lot in reasoning, and you even suspected me based on just two lists. But it doesn't mean the better, sometimes being a little stupid is not necessarily a bad thing."

His eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped at Xia Chuan: "Originally, I was going to let you live, but you forced me to do it. If you want to blame someone, blame Xia Chuan. He was the one who killed you."

He put his hand into his trouser pocket expressionlessly and took something out.

What do you mean?

Conan didn't understand why, but he always felt that the thing the other party took out at this time was very dangerous. Just as he was about to speak out to remind Uncle Maori, Natsukawa held his head down.

Chapter 269: Scoring a Second Score (asking for monthly ticket)

Conan looked at Natsukawa in surprise, not knowing what this meant.

There was a sudden power outage in the hall just now. It was very likely that Zemu Gongping blew up the distribution room. The other party may have installed more explosives here, and the thing taken out was undoubtedly the remote control!

"Let him press it."

Conan was curious about Natsukawa's confidence.

In Zemu Gongping's hand, the black remote control was held high. His expression was as ferocious as a devil, and his smile and pale face looked very scary.

"Zemu Gongping, is it really you?"

Maori Kogoro gritted his teeth and said, "I treat you as a friend, why do you do this? What good will it do you to kill these people?"

"Since it has come to this, I will not hide anything and let you die knowing full well!"

Zemu Gongping held the weapon in his hand and had a plan in mind.

Before installing the explosives, he had prepared a backdoor for himself - a small breathing mask. With this thing, plus his achievements in diving, he would definitely survive.

And it is impossible for these people to survive. We are fifty meters below the sea here. The water pressure that will rush in at the moment of the explosion will be unbearable for them. Only people like me who have been diving for many years can withstand it.

"I was the one who killed Nana Koyama, I was the one who killed Katsuyoshi Asahi, and I was also the one who carried out the previous attacks. But you should be able to see that I didn't kill any of your relatives or friends, Mr. Maori.

You are just unlucky. Your names all contain numbers, which is just right for me to implement this plan.

In fact, my targets are only Hiroki Tsuji, Katsuyoshi Asahi, Nana Koyamauchi and Nishikana. "

Sawaki Kouhei smiled, which was unusual for him, but there was something crazy in his smile.

Ever since he lost his sense of taste, he has become a completely different person. He is irritable, manic, and has a strong desire to destroy.

It was this mentality, coupled with the fact that he had seen the news about Murakami Takeshi being released from prison, and he happened to have heard Kogoro Mori mention this case, that led him to plan this method of murder.

Nishikawa Nishikawa was just enjoying himself, but when he heard that he was also the target of the other party, his eyes widened.

"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"

It was outrageous that he was inexplicably targeted by the other party and he didn't even know who the other party was until today.

“Because you have posted false information about red wine several times. Do you know how disgusting your notes are? They have led many red wine lovers astray and prevented many red wines from fully realizing their value.”

Zemu Gongping's understanding of red wine is a bit paranoid, and his eyes even turn red when he talks about it.

Well, it gets even more outrageous...

Nishina gritted his teeth and glared at Sawaki Kouhei, even his fear was covered by anger.

What the hell is it to you if I write notes? If you have the ability, go and do the popular science yourself. If you don’t have the ability, and you still think that what others say is inaccurate, what’s wrong with you!

He opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw the remote control in the other person's hand, he swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth. He could only say this to himself in his heart.

“You should have figured out that I have the remote control for explosives in my hand.

Last night I installed explosives in various places in the underwater restaurant. As long as I press the remote control switch, this newly born underwater wonder will disappear from this world.

But it doesn’t matter, it hasn’t opened yet anyway, so you won’t be disappointed if you haven’t seen it. I believe that those who want to come here will understand me.”

He muttered to himself and looked up at the button in his hand.

No one dared to stop him, especially Kogoro Mori.

He had just taken a step when Zemu Gongping pointed his finger at him and said, "Mr. Maori, I know you are a judo master. If you want to fight, you have to think about whether your judo speed is faster or my speed of pressing the switch is faster."

"Zemu, don't be stubborn. It's not too late to stop now."

“It’s too late, Mr. Maori. We have known each other for so many years. You know my character. Once I make up my mind, I will persevere.

When I killed Murakami-jo that day, I had already made up my mind, and there was no way I could change it. "

After saying that, Zemu Gongping directly pressed the switch.

clatter......

clatter......

Da da da......

Zemu's face changed drastically and he continued to press the switch frantically.

"What's going on? Why can't it be used?"

This kind of despair is exactly the same as when I found out that I had lost my sense of taste.

"Mr. Sawaki, didn't you forget to reload the batteries? Or did you buy a defective product that is completely unusable?" Natsukawa pretended to be concerned.

His expression and actions looked different to Zemu Gongping, who clearly sensed that he was being teased.

It turned out to be the case.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiachuan with appreciation. He was indeed his certified high-end bodyguard who could always nip danger in the bud.

By the way, Xia Chuan really has a bad taste. He seems to like to disgust the criminals like this often.

He suddenly remembered that when they were in the wine cellar before, Xiachuan kicked Zemu Gongping away.

With Xia Chuan's strength, there should be a better way. Kicking the person away or smashing him directly against the wine rack is obviously wrong.

I'm afraid Natsukawa had already noticed Sawaki's problem before entering the wine cellar.

As for when the problem was discovered, it was probably when Natsukawa picked up Nana Oyama's repair order.

By the way, Xia Chuan's imagination is indeed comparable to his. He can even connect the case with car repair.

No, if I hadn’t been affected by the plane crash, I would have been the one who discovered the case at Zemu Gonghe’s house.

While Conan was reflecting on himself, Sawaki Kouhei was already a little collapsed.

"Impossible, this is the remote control I made myself, and the battery is also..."

He turned on the remote control and found that the space where the two AAA batteries should be was empty.

No wonder it felt a little light when I first took it out.

"When was it? When did you tamper with my remote control?"

Since Xia Chuan could say such words, it goes without saying that the person who stole his battery must be him.

I didn't expect that after all the preparations, I would have missed this point.

In fact, Sawaki Kouhei was a bit wronged. If Natsukawa hadn't known the plot in advance, he would definitely not have known to take his remote control.

Of course, if Xiachuan didn't know the plot, Zemu Gonghe would have been carried away long ago. As for unknown dangers, Xiachuan always tries to get rid of them as soon as possible.

"In the wine cellar."

"you do this delibrately?"

Sawaki Kouhei was referring to Natsukawa's kick.

"Can't you see it?" Xia Chuan nodded. "But at that time I was just suspicious and couldn't be completely sure that you were the murderer. After I saw the remote control, I took out the battery for safety reasons.

But I didn't expect you to have other means to detonate the switch room."
