Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

While chatting with Vermouth, Fujiwara Hiroshi kept looking at the door, and when Councillor Tōngguchi arrived, he found an excuse to leave.

Vermouth thought Fujiwara Hiroshi was just an ordinary person, so some of her details and changes in expression were seen clearly by Fujiwara Hiroshi, which allowed Fujiwara Hiroshi to quickly lock on the target of the Black Organization.

As the memorial service was about to begin, Conan still hadn't found any corresponding clues, so he could only return to Fujiwara Hiroshi dejectedly to try his luck.

Conan himself didn't think that Fujiwara Hiroshi could find the target person of the Black Organization in such a short time, so he came to ask Fujiwara Hiroshi with the mentality of trying everything possible.

"Brother Fujiwara, after observing for a while, have you found the potential victim to be killed?" Conan suppressed his nausea and reluctantly called the target the person to be killed.

"I can't be 100% sure, there are too many people here. But from this group, I think the one with the worst complexion and the most likely to be the target of the curse is the short man over there surrounded by others.

He is surrounded by many people and is the easiest person to be targeted."

Fujiwara Hiroshi pointed at Councillor Tōngguchi and said to Conan.

"Okay!" Conan responded simply and left quickly. Fujiwara Hiroshi looked at Conan who was walking away and didn't say anything.

Conan was thinking deeply about the candidate victim given by Fujiwara Hiroshi. So after Conan left quickly, without saying goodbye to Fujiwara Hiroshi, he found a suitable position and began to observe Councillor Tōnkou.

However, Fujiwara Hiroshi revealed a lot of negative information about Conan today, so Fujiwara Hiroshi did not care about Conan's rude behavior.

The reason why Conan fell into deep thought was that he was thinking about whether the reference person given by Fujiwara Hiroshi was reliable, but he did not stop and walked towards the direction suitable for observing the movements of Councillor Tōngguchi, because Conan himself did not observe any other suitable target persons.

Now that we have this potential target person given by Fujiwara Hiroshi, it is better to have it than not, so time is urgent and Conan no longer thinks about anything else. He can only focus all his attention on Congressman Tōnōguchi.

At this time, Haibara Ai slowly approached Conan and asked.

"Do you really trust the candidate that guy gave you?"

"We can only observe this candidate first. We've been observing him for a long time, but we haven't found any clues. Don't be fooled by the fact that this guy is like Uncle Maori and is very noisy. He is better at reasoning and analysis than I am!"

Conan explained to Haibara Ai.

"Oh!? This is the first time I've heard you admit that someone is better than you. It seems like he really is quite capable!"

"Conan has his own personality," Huibara said, her eyes flickering. Previously, when Hattori Heiji from Osaka challenged him, he didn't back down at all and took the initiative to confront him. Now, he took the initiative to admit that Fujiwara Hiroshi was stronger than him, which was not easy.

"There are many people who are more capable than me, and my dad is much more capable than me. In short, in the absence of any other better options, this candidate will be the priority for now.

We'll prioritize observing the people near him. We heard Gin mention the use of that drug on the wiretap earlier. Based on this, Pisco is very likely to resort to close-quarters assassination."

Conan tried to find a breakthrough from the previous conversation between Gin and Pisco.

But obviously Conan's idea was going to fail, because Pisco mentioned at the time that he already had a plan, which meant that it was highly likely that he would not use drug poisoning.

Time passed quickly. Councillor Tunkou was a distinguished guest today as he was able to attend this event. Soon it was Councillor Tunkou's turn to come to the center of the venue to deliver a speech.

Everyone surrounded him in a circle, with Pisco beside him, occasionally looking up at his watch to check the time.

Before the set power outage time, Pisco slowly reached into his arms and placed his hand on the silenced pistol.

At the same time, he took out the purple handkerchief distributed when entering the venue with his other hand, which would be used to block the smoke reaction. Pisco checked the time again and began to count down silently in his mind.

Suddenly, the lights in the entire conference hall went out, and Congressman Tunkou's speech was interrupted by this sudden change. Pisco quickly drew his gun and shot the chandelier chain that was painted with fluorescent paint in advance.

The chandelier was located right above Senator Tunkou, so Pisco completed everything in one go with extremely fast movements.

Conan had been observing everything around Congressman Tsunoguchi. The moment the lights suddenly went out, Conan knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, just 2 seconds later, the sound of bullets hitting iron chains and the sound of a chandelier falling and killing Congressman Tunkou were heard, along with Congressman Tunkou's screams before his death.

"Damn it!" Conan cursed in his heart. When he heard the direction of the scream, Conan knew that Fujiwara Hiroshi's guess was correct again.

Vermouth was also paying attention to Pisco and Councilman Tōngguchi. However, Fujiwara Hiroshi's attention was on Vermouth and he didn't pay much attention to Pisco.

When the lights came on again, everyone saw Congressman Tunkou lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, unable to close their eyes in death!

After a brief moment of shock, screams rose from the ground and echoed throughout the venue. Then it was time for the classic segment, with our Inspector Megure leading his Paw Patrol on stage.

Conan was already jumping around impatiently looking for clues. Since the target person, Congressman Tunkou, was not saved, he could only see if he could find Pisco through the clues.

But something that happened in the middle completely disturbed Conan's mind, because when the chaos just began, Haibara Ai and Conan got separated.

As luck would have it, Pisco saw it. Pisco was familiar with the Miyano couple and had seen Shirley when she was a child.

So Pisco took advantage of the chaos and knocked Huibara unconscious, then took her to the cellar of the Haido Hotel.

"Hey, Gin! It's me, Pisco! I've completed the mission and successfully killed the target. I also just found Shirley, subdued her and knocked her unconscious. She's now being held in the basement of the Haido Hotel!"

Pisco was giving a report to Gin, hoping to rely on Sherry to take credit and reverse the bad impression he had left on Gin.

"Well done, Pisco! I'll be at the Beihu Hotel soon. Wait for me to come over. I'll let Shirley know the consequences of betraying the organization."

When Gin heard the news about Shirley, he smiled grimly and said, "He hung up the phone and urged Vodka to speed up."

"I can't believe it! Shirley, who hasn't been found for such a long time, was actually found by old Pisco. It can be said that he is making good use of his remaining energy."

When Gin heard the news about Sherry, he suddenly felt happy, and the gloom of the recent clash with the Dragon Group was immediately swept away.

----

"You're awake, Shirley!" Pisco said to Shirley who had woken up.

Haibara Ai had just opened her hazy eyes and wanted to take a look at where she was, but she was startled by the sudden voice.

Because the owner of this voice directly revealed her identity as Shirley, Haibara Ai was so scared that her pupils kept dilating and contracting.

"What? Are you curious about why you have become like this? Can I still know your identity?" Pisco looked at Shirley's shocked expression and said with a meaningful smile.

Haibara Ai really wanted to know the reason, but her hands and feet were tied behind her back and her mouth was sealed with tape, so she couldn't speak even if she wanted to.

"Oh! I almost forgot, your mouth is sealed, you can't ask even if you want to. Haha!" Pisco looked like he just remembered it, and sounded like he deserved a beating.

"It's okay, I'll explain it to you slowly. You may not know me, but I know you. We met when you were very young, but you were still a baby at that time.

Your parents and I were old acquaintances in the organization. After your parents passed away unexpectedly, I didn't expect that you would inherit their mantle and help the organization continue to develop drug research.

Moreover, you have quite good talent. There are not many members who get code names based on their identity as researchers, so your value is still very high.

So when you were a child, I kept a special eye on you in secret. I have an impression of what you looked like when you were a child. In addition, as an acquaintance of your parents, I also knew some of their research on drugs.

This is amazing! I always thought your parents never succeeded in their research, but I never thought you would succeed, and even successfully use drugs to shrink and escape the organization's search!

Every word Pisco said to Haibara Ai deeply shocked her heart.

The other party had seen her, but she hadn't, which was like being deliberately plotted against. Secondly, she had obtained information about her parents, and her research was surprisingly focused on rejuvenation. No wonder the drug she was researching had a natural degeneration effect. However, this was still a special case, not a common one, likely only appearing once in tens of thousands.

But now is not the time to think about this, what she needs to think about now is how to get out. Huiyuan Ai kept struggling and wanted to resist, but unfortunately she was tied up tightly.

"Look at you, still thinking about struggling? Don't even think about it. I won't give you this chance at all." Pisco knocked on Huibara's head and said.

Then Pisco turned around and operated the laptop, then turned back and spoke to Haibara Ai.

"I have already designed the ignition procedure. In an hour, the ignition and self-ignition device I installed in a room somewhere in this hotel will be activated.

By that time, the hotel's fire alarm system will be triggered, everyone will be in chaos, and I can take advantage of the chaos to get you out of the hotel.

Shirley, are you ready to face the organization's judgment?"

It has to be said that villains die because they talk too much! Pisco didn't know if it was because of his age, but he told her everything about Haibara Ai's current location and the subsequent arrangements.

However, Pisco was not completely unprepared. After telling Haibara Ai about these arrangements, he took out some sleeping pills and knocked her unconscious.

Then Pisco quickly returned to the venue. According to his expectation, as the chairman of a large automobile company and a prominent figure, he should be questioned by the police and go through the formalities, and then wait for the fire alarm to be triggered so that he can escape in the chaos.

Unfortunately, he met Conan, through the clues at the scene and the purple handkerchief Conan found in the corner of the venue.

Conan immediately asked the forensic personnel to test the smoke reaction on the handkerchief. Fortunately, Conan was at the scene every few days under the name of Mouri Kogoro and arranged for them to help identify the physical evidence.

Now this group of forensic personnel are very familiar with Conan. When Conan brought the physical evidence over, they knew that something had happened. After the forensic personnel's identification, they indeed detected a gunpowder smoke reaction on it.

Conan hurried to the corner and used his bow to tune the sound of his tuba. Kudo Shinichi asked Inspector Megure to detain all the guests who were given purple handkerchiefs tonight.

"Hey, Kudo brother! You weren't even at the scene, how do you know about the case here?"

"Oh, it was Conan who told me that a congressman was murdered at the Haido Hotel, and then I learned about the situation at the scene through Conan and analyzed it."

Shinichi Kudo used a tactic of transferring the ball from his left hand to his right hand.

"In any case, Officer Megure, quickly question the suspects one by one and find the murderer as soon as possible!"

"Ah!? Yes, yes, yes!"

After Officer Megure hung up the phone, he ordered Officer Takagi to arrest all the people who were given purple handkerchiefs tonight.

The guest list at the door recorded the color of the handkerchiefs received by the guests. Pisco heard about this on the way back to the hall and took the opportunity to steal a purple handkerchief from someone else.

"That was a close call! Luckily I noticed that the guy next to me also had a purple handkerchief, otherwise I would have been the main suspect if I couldn't produce the handkerchief." Pisco secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Vermouth, who was standing by, had previously confirmed the death of Councilman Tunkou, and then saw that Pisco was quickly identified as a suspect and detained by the police.

So Vermouth turned around and walked to the corner to call Gin, telling him the situation at the scene and Pisco's current situation.

"Vermouth, you stay at the scene and observe the situation firsthand. If Pisco is exposed, you know the rules of the organization. If you can save him, go ahead and rescue him. If you can't, you must be prepared to silence Pisco. Do you understand?"

Gin thought for a moment and gave instructions to Vermouth.

"Gin, you and I don't have the authority to silence the code members, right?"

Vermouth said in a deep voice, she didn't expect that Gin would kill the code members as he said.

"I'll apply for this permission from the boss later, so just go ahead and execute it! Also, Shirley has been found by Pisco and is being held in the underground cellar of the Ke Hotel.

I'm already near the hotel. I'll go deal with Shirley first, and I'll leave Pisco to you. Let's split up."

Gin divided his current actions with Vermouth and prepared to act separately!
