Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 240 234. Grand Mix·Prelude [Happy Valentine's Day! ]

(My bosses all have partners, right?)
In the banquet hall of Beihu City Hotel, a very strange situation had unknowingly formed.

The Kudo father and son are investigating the real culprit of the murder. Under the "violent" advancement of the father and son, the progress of the investigation has gradually begun to move towards Pisco.

Pisco had been reminded by Gin to leave the banquet hall and go to the hotel's wine cellar. At this moment, he was looking for an opportunity to escape from the memorial banquet hall.

While Gin was thinking about Pisco, he was also thinking about the three FBI agents.
Gin prepared everything - there were three FBI agents anyway, so he could let one or two go and kill one first to "quench his thirst".

The FBI is dealing with Inspector Megure, and while dealing with Inspector Megure, they are also keeping an eye on Vermouth.

They were afraid that if they weren't careful, Vermouth would slip away from under their noses.

As for why the FBI didn't seek Inspector Megure's help, it's a joke. How could such a thing be possible?

They are the "envoys of the Celestial Empire". The reason they don't guide the island police on the spot in handling cases is because they have tasks on hand.

Otherwise, how could these "arrogant and powerful soldiers" from America stay so obediently in the corner of the banquet hall and accept the questioning of Inspector Megure?
Since their identities have been confirmed, when Inspector Megure asks them, they just say they are here on vacation.

As for why he went to the memorial service, he said he had never seen it in America and wanted to "broaden his horizons."

Three American FBI agents went to the memorial service in Tokyo to gain insights into the FBI's attitude that they didn't care whether Inspector Megure believed it or not, they believed it anyway.

Also because these people are "envoys from above", Inspector Megure cannot take any tough measures.

There was no evidence at the scene to indicate that the three FBI agents were related to the murder case. In line with the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Inspector Megure simply took the opportunity of the verbal lawsuit to keep the three men here.

How to deal with these three FBI agents is not something that a mere police inspector like him can decide. The situation at the scene has been reported, and Officer Megure is waiting for the latest instructions from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Among these people, Vermouth is the most tired one.

Vermouth didn't take the FBI's surveillance seriously at all.

She didn't need to act as Chris Wynyard in the island country, so after leaving the banquet hall, she would find an opportunity to disguise herself.

Then he walked past the FBI openly, leaving them to eat their farts where they stood.

Plus, Gin, who hates the FBI so much, is on his way, so it's unknown whether these three FBIs can survive today.

What makes Vermouth tired is that since Conan met his father, he has stopped pretending!
On-site investigation, searching for clues, collecting evidence, and on-the-spot reasoning. The father and son have an impeccable rapport, and even Vermouth feels that Pisco is a little dangerous.

But there are still people here who are really interested in it!

Vermouth clearly remembered that the organization asked her to monitor the Kudo couple, which was the work of Hayashi Ryoma.

Later, it was discovered that Kudo Shinichi was not dead and he even met Kudo Shinichi himself once, all of which were participated by Hayashi Ryoma.

It's hard to say about other members of the organization, but Vermouth is sure that the people from the Isshin Society at the scene will definitely pay attention to the situation around Kudo Yusaku.

How dare you be so arrogant when someone is watching you?!
Vermouth was almost going crazy with anxiety at this moment, but she couldn't go forward to remind them - once they got close to Kudo Yusaku, or if Kudo Yusaku and Conan showed any abnormal behavior.

Doesn't this just give Yi Xin a hint?
Vermouth had forgotten everything that happened at the memorial service. Now she was thinking about how to remind these careless father and son.

Vermouth finally did not forget her mission at the memorial service, and she planned to find an opportunity to remind Pisco.

It was obviously too late to destroy the evidence, but Pisco could run away first and come back later. Vermouth turned around and found that Pisco, who was at the scene just now, was gone.

[After all, he is a veteran of the organization. Is he still so sharp even at this age? 】

When Vermouth saw Pisco disappear, he secretly admired in his heart and then began to think about countermeasures.

Shortly after Pisco left, Kudo Yusaku and Conan had already locked on Pisco as the suspect.

Just when they were about to find Pisco to "communicate", they were surprised to find that Pisco was gone!
"Officer Takagi! Have you seen Mr. Masuyama?" Conan walked up and tugged at Takagi's trouser leg and asked.

"Mr. Masuyama from Baling Motors? He just said he was going to the bathroom and left."

Officer Takagi pointed to the entrance of the banquet hall and said to Conan.

In principle, these guests are all suspects in the assassination of a congressman and they certainly cannot leave at will.

But because these guests are all people of status, the Metropolitan Police Department cannot restrict everyone from leaving the banquet hall.

Fortunately, all entrances and exits of the hotel are guarded by the police, so there are no particularly strict requirements for guests who need to leave the banquet hall to relieve themselves.

"Oh no!" Conan and Kudo Yusaku looked at each other. Did Kenzo Masuyama leave the banquet hall to go to the bathroom?
That means running away!

As for the strict guard that Officer Takagi mentioned, that's all!
The professional capabilities of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are obvious to all, so it is not surprising that they let someone slip away.

"Officer Takagi, quickly send someone to find Mr. Masuyama, he is the murderer of this case!"

Conan didn't care too much and spoke directly to Takagi.

Although Takagi is a good guy, he is also a serious policeman after all. He can't just send someone to find Kenzo Masuyama because Conan said he is the murderer.

So Officer Takagi looked at Kudo Yusaku who was beside Conan.

"Conan is right. I'm afraid Kenzo Masuyama is the murderer in this case."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to find it right away!"
-
"Why are you in such a hurry to find me, Gin? The police from the Metropolitan Police Department are still investigating. If I leave for too long, my suspicion will increase."

Pisco was a little dissatisfied with Gin. He hadn't done any frontline action missions for a long time, and he felt a little unsure.

The old man was still a little nervous after all, and now he was trying his best to eliminate all unfavorable factors.

"The suspicion will increase?" Gin looked like he had heard a joke. Pisco hadn't reacted yet.

"Pisco, you are no longer a suspect. Do you know what happened?"

Gin gestured to Vodka, and then a laptop was handed over to him by Vodka.

The page displayed on the laptop screen happens to be the news currently being reprinted by many media outlets.
