Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Do you think you are funny? Brother Mouri! This is an explosion site, not a circus clown performance!" Inspector Megure shouted at Kogoro Mouri with a " " symbol appearing on his forehead.

This roar actually woke up Maori Kogoro quite a bit. Maori Ran, who was standing by, pulled Maori Kogoro aside and whispered.

"Dad, it's all your fault that you drank too much last night. Now you've made a fool of yourself." Maori Ran was speechless and blushed as she blamed Maori Kogoro.

Fortunately, the image of this confused uncle was not seen by Eri Kisaki, otherwise she would have to move out for a few days. Recently, Maori Kogoro has been very proud of himself. After Eri Kisaki moved back to the Maori Detective Agency, the Maori family has been living a happy life. In his arrogance, Maori Kogoro drank a few glasses of strong liquor last night, which almost exposed his true colors. Fortunately, Eri Kisaki is usually a career-oriented woman who is very busy at work. Maori Kogoro has not been so frivolous recently. Even if Eri Kisaki really saw him like this and embarrassed him, it would only be a small quarrel at most, and it would not be a complete separation like before.

Inspector Megure also felt that he had overreacted and should not be too harsh on Kogoro Mouri. After all, solving the case still depended on brother Mouri.

"Hmm!" Inspector Megure coughed lightly and said, "Since no one knows anyone, then gather everyone in the venue in the hall and question them one by one!"

As for Fujiwara Hiroshi, after calling Kogoro Mori to the scene, he began to mobilize and plan, and stepped aside to take overall command. According to his own memory, the Black Organization should send people to the scene to check and then report the situation. Fujiwara Hiroshi has already arranged for Takayama to pay attention to the presence of people in black at various entrances. As early as the establishment of the special forces team, Fujiwara Hiroshi explained the situation of the Black Organization to Takayama, and said that the purpose of establishing this team is to deal with the Black Organization. So everyone wore a communication headset, and Takayama also knew that his first mission was about to begin. After several months of training, Takayama couldn't wait to fight the Black Organization.

As expected, before Inspector Megure's team arrived, the Black Organization sent three or four peripheral members to investigate the scene, but they were quickly discovered by Takayama's personnel, who were already waiting at the various entrances and exits. Fujiwara Hiroshi personally issued orders not to alert these peripheral members and to send them ahead. Perhaps there were no official members of the organization nearby, so they had to send a few peripheral members to investigate. Gin was too busy to contact Tequila himself, so it was obvious that Vodka was the one making the contact.

About 5 minutes later, several investigators reported to their superiors that Tequila had been killed by a bomb. At this time, Gin heard from Vodka that Tequila had been killed by a bomb after the transaction was completed, and he fell into a gloomy situation! He was not sure which force was against their organization. Previously, members of various intelligence groups from around the world had infiltrated the distillery, and they were not worried at all, because even if those people were agents, they would still maintain a positive image and want to bring them to justice, just like the previously successful Golden Barley Akai Shuichi who also wanted to entrap Gin. This time, Tequila was directly killed by a bomb, and they had to be wary of whether other international criminal organizations were going to take action against them. After all, before this, at least in Japan, there was no such group that could compete with them.

Without time to think, Gin, who was undecided, reported the situation directly to the boss. The boss also pondered for a moment and asked.

"What mission is Tequila going on this time?"

"I asked a technician from Mantiantang Game Company for a list of people who are proficient in software in Japan. It's not a complicated task!" Gin replied.

The boss was well aware of this. Tequila was typically tasked with simple, brute-force tasks, and wouldn't be assigned anything more demanding than a bit of brainwork. The case involving Fujiwara Hiroshi's parents wasn't his plan, but after planning it, he felt the intimidation-heavy Tequila was best suited for the task, given his menacing demeanor and burly build.

"Let's do this! Let's prepare for the worst and clean up all the places where Tequila has appeared in public! Especially the places where he appeared during this mission. If they are strongholds, we can just abandon them." The BOSS gave the order after thinking about it.

"I understand! I'll take care of it right away," Gin replied. After hanging up the call with the boss, Gin quickly instructed Vodka to arrange for the mobilization of a large quantity of explosives to the cocktail bar on the top floor of the Daikoku Building. This bar was where Tequila would primarily meet and negotiate with the other party during this mission.

This cocktail bar was indeed a Black Organization stronghold. According to the organization's usual practice, abandoning a stronghold meant erasing all traces. The quickest way to eliminate traces was to arrange a large-scale explosion to destroy all remaining clues. Even if the explosion didn't completely destroy everything, the fire it caused could attract police and firefighters to the scene. With so many people present, even if there were traces left, they would be completely destroyed due to the sheer number of rescuers and the rush to save time. This was also the Black Organization's preferred method.

Of course, although this method is highly efficient and fast, the Black Organization used it too frequently in the early days, resulting in intelligence personnel from all over the world now sending undercover agents into the Black Organization in an effort to destroy this international criminal organization.

"Brother, we have already drawn explosives from five surrounding warehouses and arranged for people to install them." Vodka came back and reported to Gin.

"Very good! It will take about 2 hours to get back to Beika Town in Tokyo from here. Let's hurry up and have them install the explosives. Then Maeda from the blasting team will go and integrate the placed explosives to make a simple detonator. Then send it to me on the top floor of the Blue Cat Building opposite the Daikoku Building. Vodka, let's set off for the Blue Cat Building now. If someone is really targeting our organization, I believe that after I detonate the bomb, I will be able to look down from above and see which rats are plotting against our organization!" Gin said the above words in a cold tone, holding a burning cigarette in his mouth.

"Okay, big brother! Let's go now!" Vodka was stunned for a moment when he heard that big brother Gin's voice was even colder than usual, and hurriedly replied.

He secretly said in his heart, "You can't see me, you can't see me, I'm just a driver!" Vodka kept repeating in his heart.

The loss of a member with an official code name and the enemies lurking in the dark, all these uncontrollable situations made Gin particularly annoyed!

"Hey, Chianti, call Cohen and meet him on the top floor of the Blue Cat Building in Mihua Town in two hours."

To prevent Takayama and his team from thinking their intelligence was too advanced, Fujiwara Hiroshi didn't send all the tracking personnel inside the Daikoku Building after they reached it. He instead sent one of the tracking experts inside. Fujiwara Hiroshi had the rest of the group observe from two blocks away, while Takayama and Fujiwara Hiroshi also arranged for someone to go to the scene to directly direct the coordination and report the situation.

Originally, Yingshan had chosen the top floor of the Blue Cat Building as his observation location, but Fujiwara Hiroshi overruled him. This location was perfectly acceptable based on Yingshan's strategic experience. If they were dealing with only a few individuals, Yingshan had clearly underestimated their capabilities, considering it was his first encounter with the Black Organization. Choosing the Blue Cat Building would inevitably expose the special forces to the Black Organization, potentially triggering an early confrontation. Clearly, the current special forces couldn't compare to the Black Organization in terms of age, scale, or professionalism.

"Yingshan, there is nothing wrong with the position you chose, but you only consider your own perspective. You forget that the opponent is not just one person! This position will definitely be the position that the opponent will choose to observe, but our current strategy is not to confront this group of people directly at this point in time, otherwise I would agree with your proposal. So, now we have to choose the building in front of the mountain next to it, which is about 10 stories higher than the Blue Cat Building. Although this position is not the best choice for observing the Daikoku Building, it is indeed the best position to observe the Blue Cat Building. And when the people in the Daikoku Building come out, send someone to keep a close eye on them, find their whereabouts first, and then slowly solve them one by one after the current things have calmed down." Fujiwara Hiroshi directly pointed out the problem to Yingshan in the headset.

"Understood, Boss!" Yingshan replied. "I'll go to the Shanqian Building and set up surveillance immediately!"

After a little guidance from Fujiwara Hiroshi, Yingshan actually understood it, because Yingshan himself is an expert in this area, but he still has some limitations. What he thinks of, the members of the other organization can also think of it, so he needs to stand at a higher level and think more deeply.

"Another point, use a telescope to observe, don't use the sniper rifle's scope. As a top combat expert, you have the strongest perception of guns." Fujiwara Hiroshi instructed.

Meanwhile, at the venue, Conan was jumping up and down without hiding anything, just to solve the case quickly, find clues, and track down the Black Organization. Conan had a blazing fire in his heart, and he felt that as long as he seized this opportunity, he could restore his identity as Kudo Shinichi today!

"Inspector Megure, this explosion might have been caused by a bomb installed on the toilet door." The forensic officer told Inspector Megure his analysis.

"Is this an indiscriminate killing case?" Inspector Megure frowned even more tightly.

"The deceased was found at the scene and was fully cooked!" added another forensic officer.

How abominable! Has Brother Maori infected his subordinates with this kind of behavior?

Seeing that nothing more could be learned here, Inspector Megure looked towards the venue hall and saw that most of the people had gathered there. Everyone went to retrieve the items they had deposited at the front desk.

President Ishikawa also found Inspector Megure with his suitcase, took out an envelope from the suitcase, handed it to Inspector Megure, and spoke.

"Um...actually, I received a letter three days ago!"

When Inspector Megure took the letter and read it, he was shocked. It was a threatening letter, meaning that if President Ishikawa went ahead with the press conference, he would blow up the venue.

"You received such a threatening letter, why didn't you call the police earlier?" Officer Megure said in a deep voice.

"I thought someone was jealous of the popularity of our company's new game, and they played a prank out of jealousy to mess with our mentality. After all, there are so many people in this industry who are jealous of us recently. First, we received investment from the Fujiwara Group, and then we designed and created a new game with epoch-making significance, which triggered the interests of many people. In addition to this letter, someone sent knives to my family, and there were letters with all kinds of insults and curses. So I didn't take it seriously. If there hadn't been an explosion now, I wouldn't have connected the dots." President Ishikawa explained.

Conan, who was running around in the venue, was caught by Xiaolan, who grabbed Conan. Xiaolan put her hands on her waist and said angrily.

"Conan, don't run around. There was just an explosion here, and the movement of people is very chaotic. You can't run around, otherwise we won't be able to find you later." After saying that, he looked up at the half-dead Mouri Kogoro, thinking that neither of them, big or small, was a worry.

Xiaolan also took out two number tags and prepared to retrieve her luggage. One was Uncle Maori's number 96, and the other was Xiaolan's number 100.

Suddenly, a flash of electricity struck Conan's mind, "Masaka!" Conan understood again, "In that case, the murderer is one of the three Mantiantang employees who cut in line at that time!"

Conan ran straight to the front desk to claim his belongings, watching as one person after another went up to claim them. Finally, it was the turn of the three employees to claim their Mantiantang company's special suitcases. Ueda Koji and Takeshita Hironobu were numbered 97 and 98, respectively, while Nakajima Hideaki had the number 124.

Conan's reflective glasses flashed, and it was clear who the criminal was. But soon Conan touched his chin and thought of another question.

"When did he exchange the number plates? And that Tequila could have knocked them over just by walking. Could Nakajima Hideaki really have stolen the key? Unless..."

Conan thought of this and pounded the wall next to him. He carefully recalled every detail he had seen and heard. He had just missed and ignored the content of Tequila's phone call: Vodka, the deal has been completed, please tell Gin by the way.

In other words, Nakajima Hideaki had no ability to steal Tequila's number plate. So, excluding other answers, the truth is that Nakajima Hideaki was Tequila's trading partner, and the two traded items by exchanging number plates.

"Damn it! I was thinking in the wrong direction from the beginning. This murderer didn't go out to kill Tequila at all, but to blow up Nakajima Hideaki."
