Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

"I think I should go to the airport with Shiratori and the others!"

Kogoro Mouri thinks riding a helicopter is more terrifying than flying a plane.

"Brother Maori, do you want to run away alone?"

Inspector Megure didn't give him a chance and dragged him towards the helicopter.

"Let me go to the bathroom." Kogoro Mouri used the pee-avoidance technique.

But Inspector Megure would not let him go and pushed him onto the plane.

"Inspector, I don't want to die yet!" Kogoro Mouri looked terrified.

Inspector Megure sat on it and said, "If we die, we will die together."

"Brother Maori, all you have to do is not look down there."

"That's what I said..."

There is a huge difference between flying in a helicopter and flying in a plane.

……

The helicopter quickly took off and flew away.

Although I don’t know why Inspector Megure didn’t ask him to join them, but instead asked Kogoro Mouri, who is afraid of heights, to join him.

It just so happened that Kitagawa Taki had some free time, and he watched the helicopter gradually fly away.

Could it be that Conan can even fly a helicopter?

That's right, Conan took advantage of the tug-of-war between Mouri and Kogoro and quietly slipped onto the helicopter.

"Officer Shiratori, I'll go to Dongdu Airport with you."

Shiratori Renzaburo nodded.

……

As expected, the three of them did not wait for the helicopter, but instead received news that the helicopter crashed at Teitan Elementary School.

It was said to be a crash, but in fact it was a hard landing.

With Conan's help, the few of them landed safely, but the helicopter was seriously damaged.

The murderer did not tamper with the helicopter, but he added mydriatic agent to Hiroki Tsuji's eye drops, causing him to be unable to open his eyes due to the sunlight.

If Conan, who graduated from a technical school in Hawaii, hadn't been there, the helicopter would have definitely crashed.

Yui Uehara smelled a hint of something unusual, and it was obvious that the murderer wanted to kill Hiroki Tsuji this time.

It’s different from the previous times!

She expressed her guess: "Inspector, I think the murderer is probably trying to confuse us. He hid the person he really wanted to kill among the thirteen people and didn't kill the others."

Kitagawa Taki raised his eyebrows. What Uehara Yui said made sense. If the murderer wanted to take revenge on Mouri Kogoro, he would not have shown mercy to Kisaki Eri.

The murderer is most likely not Murakami Takeru!

Of the four attacks so far, only Hiroki Tsuji's was fatal, while the other three only suffered minor injuries.

Inspector Megure pondered and said, "You have a point. However, we don't know who he really wants to kill. We can only find all the targets first."

Shiratori Renzaburo's eyes lit up: "In this case, perhaps we can start with the interpersonal relationships of the person he really wants to kill."

"But can we just watch one person after another get hurt or even lose their lives?" Kogoro Mori was very unwilling.

The person who is under the most pressure is Kogoro Mouri, because these people are more or less related to him.

Conan interrupted, "Uncle Maori, I still need you to think about the murderer's next target."

He also agreed with Uehara Yui's guess, but the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, so there was nothing they could do but passively defend.

Inspector Megure pondered for a moment and made an arrangement: "Thus, Uehara, you go investigate whether Hiroki Tsuji has had any conflicts with anyone, and Shiratori, you go investigate the eye drops and see if you can find any clues to the murderer!"

The two were ordered to leave.

Then, he looked at Maori Kogoro and asked, "Brother Maori, do you have any idea about Nine?"

Kogoro Mori looked solemn and shook his head.

For a moment, he really couldn't think of anyone whose name was related to nine.

"The number eight reminds me of someone," Maori Kogoro said. "Mr. Kohei Sawaki, the bartender, has the character 'gong' in his name, 'eight'."

Inspector Megure said, "Well, let's meet Mr. Sawaki first."

……

At Sawaki Kohei's home.

Several people explained their purpose to him.

"So, this Murakami-jo will target me next?"

Sawaki Gonghe looked a little thin, with deep eye sockets, high cheekbones and very little flesh on his face.

"No." Maori Kogoro explained, "There is also the number nine, but I haven't figured out who it is yet."

Sawaki nodded and said, "But then again, Mr. Maori, you seem quite calm."

Maori Kogoro rubbed his head and said with a smile: "No matter how I say it, it's always the number five. It will take a long time before it's my turn."

Inspector Megure's mouth twitched. Kogoro Mouri had clearly looked unwilling before, but now he was so heartless.

"As for the number nine, I do know someone. I wonder if you recognize him, Mr. Maori."

As he spoke, Zemu Gongping took out a card.

"Xu Shengyi is the entrepreneur who opened more than a dozen restaurants in the city."

Maori Kogoro said, "I met Asahi Katsuyoshi once. I heard that his Crystal Restaurant in the Tokyo Bay Ocean Amusement Park is about to open, right?"

Zemu Gongping nodded: "Yes, he agreed to hand over a restaurant to me. We agreed to meet at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

At this time, Kitagawa Taki interrupted and said, "Doesn't Asahi Katsuyoshi's name have the number nine in it?"

Maori Kogoro pondered and said, "But I only met Asahi Katsuyoshi once, and that was because of a request to find a cat."

Inspector Megure said, "Perhaps the murderer doesn't think so. Anyway, let's follow Mr. Sawaki to meet Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi."

Then, he looked at Zemu Gongping and said, "Is it okay? Mr. Zemu."

Zemu said fairly, "I have no problem."

……

That night.

Kitagawa Taki received a message from Busujima Kiriko saying that Murakami Takeru was found in a pachinko parlor.

He immediately asked Hojo Hitomi to rush over and tie him up when Murakami Takeru left.

Abandoned warehouse.

Murakami Takeru was tied to a chair.

Hojo Hitomi woke him up with a bucket of water.

Seeing the two strangers in front of him, and realizing his situation, Murakami immediately panicked and kept struggling, "Who are you?"

Beichuan Taki asked: "What have you been doing these days?"

Murakami said hurriedly: "I didn't do anything!"

Seeing this, Hojo Hitomi, who was standing by, hit Murakami Takeru's hand with a hammer without saying a word.

Murakami Jō screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.

It was the first time that Kitagawa Taki interrogated someone with Hojo Hitomi. This woman was indeed a professional killer, and she was really ruthless. With this blow of the hammer, Murakami Jō's hand bones were definitely broken.

After Murakami-jo calmed down a bit, Kitagawa Taki said, "Let me ask again, what have you been doing these days?"

"I'm looking for a job... but I can't find one right now... so I'm hanging out in pachinko parlors..."

Murakami Takeru was struck down and became obedient.
