Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Masuto Rei and Heiwa Masaaki are really digging more and more. Sato Miwako and others had never heard them mention these details before.

Masuto Rei glanced at Ping Zhenghui and replied, "Yes, but it was his apartment that was broken into."

"Yes, it was when she and I were out on a date and no one was home."

Miwako Sato asked, "Did you lose anything?"

"No, the computer that was turned off was turned on again."

Conan keenly believed that this information was a key clue.

At this time, Megure Jusan's cell phone rang, "Moshimoshi, it turned out to be Chiba... What? A charred body with a slit throat was found?"

Chiba Kazunobu on the other side replied, "The deceased was found in an empty warehouse along the Temujin River. He was a man in his thirties or forties, wearing a dark blue suit and a white tie. According to the report sent back by a colleague from the Forensic Department, fingerprints belonging to the serial robber and murderer were found on his left fingernail."

Megure Juzo was so shocked that he repeated Chiba Kazunobu's words, and now everyone present knew about it.

Conan analyzed the man's clothing and figured out that he was wearing a formal suit. He immediately asked, "Does the computer have a list of your guests?"

Yihu Li obviously followed Conan's train of thought, "Yes, we discussed the list of people in his apartment at that time, and we used his computer."

This means that the robber and murderer has disguised himself as a guest, obtained the invitation, and sneaked into the venue.

Megure Juzo immediately ordered everyone holding wedding ceremonies at the venue to cancel them.

"Since we know that the robber and murderer has sneaked into the venue, how can we allow ordinary citizens to continue to stay in this place?"

Sato Miwako and Shiratori Jinsaburo were about to go out to carry out Megure Jusan's orders, but were stopped by Taira Masayoshi.

"You don't have any concrete evidence to prove that the cruel man came here, so how could he ruin our and others' good life?"

Shiratori Renzaburo couldn't do anything about this man, but he still chose to continue persuading him and explained the seriousness of the matter clearly.

Ping Zhenghui must have been resentful of the robber because he had obstructed his actions. His house had been broken into before, and the computer at home that recorded the guest list had been restarted.

Today, another person was found nearby with a death condition consistent with the common methods used by robbers and murderers. All the cases can be connected together, which is very telling.

They really didn't know why Ping Zhenghui would still object.

"But you can't confirm that the deceased is the guest at our banquet."

Just at this moment there was a knock on the door.

A police officer came in with a gift box. "Officer Megure, someone asked me to pass on this gift to the bride and groom. It seems that the other party said that they hope they can open it and take a look immediately."

The gift box was placed on the table.

"Who gave it to you?"

"Because it was handed over by the venue staff, I don't know who sent it."

Megure Jusan was helpless, "How dare you bring something of unknown origin directly into this room!"

While they were still discussing, Ping Zhenghui had already bravely opened the gift box.

At the same time, the policeman also replied: "I have checked in advance."

Inspector Megure knew that he had overreacted, and he coughed awkwardly and picked up the shattered image.

Inside the gift box was a video recorder with the name of the sender, "Ms. Shimizu," labeled on it.

"This might be what Miss Shimizu sent in the chat room."

“Maybe there’s a previous video.”

"Chat room?"

Another new term has appeared, and it is hard not to attract the attention of Megure Jusan and others.

Ping Zhenghui explained: "Yes, we have been crazy about hot spring websites on the Internet recently, so we invited a few partners from the website to participate in the party scheduled to be held after the wedding tonight."

"This is the tape that will be played at the party. She mentioned that we should watch it before the official broadcast. It seems that the editing will be completed in time."

Just in case, the police should also watch it together.

The video recorder records a day when Yihu Li and Heping Zhenghui were dating.

The moment Ping Zhenghui quickly changed his clothes and opened the door again, Conan noticed something was wrong again.

Megure Juzo and the others focused on the spare key to Taira Masaki's apartment, which was placed on the light at the door.

Kogoro Mori pointed out that if it was Miss Shimizu who did it, she would be able to enter Taira Masaki's apartment without anyone noticing.

Yihu Li immediately denied it. "Ms. Shimizu repeatedly suggested that we call the police and tell them about the break-in."

"Huh? Didn't you call the police?"

"Yes, I didn't think anything was missing, so I didn't call the police. But just in case, I deliberately wrote the dates on the invitations one day later.

So even if someone saw the invitation on the day of the break-in, they wouldn’t come to our wedding.”

Miwako Sato still felt that there was a loophole. As long as that person pretended to be their friend and asked other guests, he would be able to find out the real wedding time and invite the guests out.

"Why not just let the bride and groom go out and meet the guests? If they run into people they don't know, we can control it in advance."

Mao Lilan held the opposite opinion from Conan, "What if I do this and get attacked instead?"

Sato Miwako began to think about Conan's suggestion, "There's no need to let them meet the guests. We can just go to the room next to the relevant personnel and observe secretly to confirm."

Shiratori Jinzaburo thinks that Sato Miwako's plan is feasible. If they rashly cancel all the weddings and the criminals still choose to take action, it may cause even greater chaos.

Megure Juzo arranged for Sato Miwako to share the information they had just obtained with Miyano Osamu and others, so that Miyano Osamu and Matsuda Jinpei would be alert and protect Takagi Shigeru and Miyamoto Yumi who were pretending to be the bride and groom.

When Sato Miwako ran into Takagi Wataru in the corridor, she felt helpless and asked, "Didn't I tell you to wait in the room?"

"It's okay, Sato. I've always been protecting Takagi."

Miyano Osamu also came out of the bathroom. He heard what Sato Miwako said and thought she was worried about Takagi Wataru's safety.

"Let's go back first."

Halfway through the walk, Sato Miwako was attracted by a group of newcomers.

The groom's hand was also in a cast, and the bride was tying his tie for him. This scene reminded Sato Miwako of the incongruity of Taira Masaki.

Back in the room, Sato Miwako briefly explained the latest situation.

Miyano Osamu patted his chest and assured: "Okay, we understand. Matsuda and I will definitely protect Takagi and Miyamoto."
