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

The murderer was not Murakami Takeru after all.

Seeing that Kitagawa Taki didn't say anything, Murakami Jō hurriedly said, "Really! I didn't lie to you!!"

"Deal with him like you did with Kyosuke Fudo." Kitagawa Taki said to Hojo Hitomi.

Hojo Hitomi nodded and opened the toolbox she carried with her.

Murakami Jō had no idea what Kitagawa Taki was referring to, but he was no fool. When he saw those horrific instruments, he forgot the pain for a moment and begged for mercy.

But Hojo Hitomi ignored her, and screams echoed in the empty abandoned warehouse...

----

The next day.

It was discovered by Shiratori Renzaburo that when Hiroki Tsuji went out yesterday morning, the glass of his house was smashed with a stone. He left the eye drops in the car and went to check the situation himself.

At that time, he and his family thought it was just a child's prank and ignored it, so Shiratori Jinzaburo did not find anything else valuable.

Maori Kogoro said: "In that case, the eye drops were replaced at that time."

Inspector Megure nodded and looked at Uehara Yui: "Uehara, what about you?"

Uehara Yui took out the police handbook, looked at the records on it and said:

"According to Hiroki Tsuji himself and his family, he did not have any grudges against anyone. Even his friends said that although Hiroki Tsuji liked to play jokes on others, he would not make mortal enemies."

Inspector Megure pondered and said, "It seems that Hiroki Tsuji's path is a dead end. I also contacted Asahi Katsuyoshi yesterday, but his attitude was very worrying. He said he had bodyguards and there was no need to worry.

Today we will go to visit Mr. Zemu together, hoping to attract his attention."

……

It's about two o'clock in the afternoon.

Everyone rushed to the parking lot of the Crystal Restaurant.

The Crystal Restaurant is built in the sea, like an offshore island, connected to the land by a cable car.

Just as Kogoro Mouri was admiring how luxurious and magnificent the Crystal Restaurant was, a fiery red sports car rushed straight towards the crowd with no intention of stopping.

Everyone quickly stepped aside.

The sports car drifted into the parking space and parked steadily.

Then a big wavy woman got out of the car.

"I'm asking you, how do you drive? Don't you know it's very dangerous?" Kogoro Mouri pointed at the woman and roared.

The woman was indifferent: "Is there something wrong?"

Before Kogoro Mouri could say something, three more cars drove into the parking lot.

A bearded man got out of the jeep and greeted the woman: "Ms. Nana, you're here too."

Kitagawa Taki glanced sideways slightly. This woman's name is Nana?

"Nana" has the same pronunciation as the number "seven" in Japanese. Add to that the fact that this woman is so arrogant, and you can tell at a glance that she is a short-lived person.

Miss Nana smiled and said, "Mr. Xu also invited Mr. Yongming to come!"

Inspector Megure murmured, "Could Mr. Asahi be Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi? Who are these people?"

Shiratori Renzaburo introduced, "Inspector, this is the famous model Nana Koyamauchi. The other three are photographer Nagaaki Shishino, essayist Catfish Nishina, and..."

Before he had finished his introduction, the remaining foreigner stepped forward and said, "I am Peter Ford."

Kitagawa Taki glanced at the few people and said, "Officer Megure, aren't all the numbers complete?"

"Asahi is nine, Kou is eight, Nana is seven, Shishi is six, Ford is four, and Jin is two."

Kitagawa Taki used his spiritual sense to scan everyone present, but found something that looked like a bomb detonator in Sawaki Kohei's pocket.

His eyes fixed, it seemed that this person was the real murderer.

"Yes!" Inspector Megure's eyes were shocked.

The fifth is Maori Kogoro, and the third is Shiratori Ninzaburo.

Uehara Yui asked, "What about the other one?"

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Conan and said, "Isn't the number "One" right here?"

Conan rolled his eyes. How could the murderer know his true identity?

Kitagawa Taki said: "It might be Kudo Shinichi, but he didn't come."

Inspector Megure touched his head. He was almost forgetting about Brother Kudo.

Shishino Nagaaki was completely confused and asked, "What number? What are you talking about?"

Inspector Megure did not answer directly, but asked: "Everyone, were you all invited here by Mr. Asahi?"

Several people nodded.

Inspector Megure looked at his watch. It was very close to the agreed time of three o'clock. "In that case, let's go see Mr. Asahi first. I will explain everything to everyone later."

Kitagawa Taki edited a message and sent it to Hojo Hitomi.

Afterwards, everyone took a cable car to the Crystal Restaurant located in the sea.

Maori Kogoro saw that Nishina Catfish was pale and had cold sweat on his forehead, just like him who was afraid of heights, so he said, "Mr. Nishina, are you afraid of heights too?"

But Renke Catfish said: "No, actually, I'm afraid of water. I can't swim."

The cable car quickly reached the top of the restaurant, and we took the elevator to finally reach the restaurant under the sea.

The design of this restaurant is quite interesting. There are glass on both sides of the corridor and inside the restaurant, so you can see the fish outside and the scenery on the seabed.

Right in the middle is a Ferrari F40, which adds to the restaurant's class.

Zemu Gongping asked, "Why isn't Mr. Xu here?"

Maori Kogoro nodded and said, "The guests have arrived, but the host is nowhere to be seen."

Uehara Yui asked in surprise, "Inspector, could something have happened to him?!"

Shiratori Renzaburo volunteered, "Inspector, I'll look in this restaurant first!"

Uehara Yui said, "I'm going too!"

Kitagawa Taki took this opportunity to follow him. After taking a look, Conan immediately followed Kitagawa Taki.

Inspector Megure said loudly: "Okay, everyone, find a seat first, and I will tell you what happened now."

……

the other side.

"What are you doing following us?" Kitagawa Taki glanced at Conan who was following him and Uehara Yui.

Conan just followed silently without saying a word.

Although Uehara Yui has been performing his duties diligently these days, he still hasn't let his guard down.

Yui Uehara was searching every corner carefully and had no time to pay attention to Conan.

Kitagawa Taki was not looking for anyone. He found bombs, but not many of them. It was obvious that Sawaki Kohei did not intend to die together with them.

These bombs can only open a few holes at most, allowing seawater to flow back in. The target should be the Nishina catfish that cannot swim.

……

When they returned to the restaurant, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri had already explained the whole story to them.

Inspector Megure glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "Everyone, do you have any grudges against anyone?"
