Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

A week has passed quietly.

As evening fell that day, Lin Jiayou changed into a standard and formal black suit, opened his black umbrella, and stood in front of a villa with the words "Seba" written on it, holding a noble invitation in a gilded style.

"Sir, this is a private banquet..."

The waiter smiled and bowed slightly to Lin Jiayou as he walked towards him.

Lin Jiayou remained expressionless, slightly raised his gloved hand, and then handed the invitation to the waiter with his right hand.

The waiter smiled and accepted the invitation, carefully examined it, and then bowed again to Lin Jiayou.

"Please forgive my previous rudeness. Please come in, esteemed Mr. Lin..."

Lin Jiayou, wearing white gloves, waved slightly, then folded his black umbrella and was about to go inside.

At this moment, the waiter at the door immediately pointed to an umbrella stand by the door and said to Lin Jiayou,

"Mr. Lin, you can put the umbrella in the umbrella rack over there."

"Excuse me, may I bring it in?"

Lin Jiayou's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly to the waiter.

Although his face was expressionless and he spoke normally, he inexplicably carried a certain oppressive aura, a kind of pressure that waiters often saw in important figures.

Seeing this, the waiter didn't say anything more and gave Lin Jiayou an apologetic smile.

"Of course, no problem, Mr. Lin."

"I'm so sorry to have delayed your arrival..."

"It's ok."

Lin Jiayou turned around indifferently, casually left a sentence, and walked into the villa with mechanically precise steps.

call--

The waiter secretly breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

This Mr. Lin has quite an imposing presence; I wonder which important figure the master has befriended.

only......

The waiter was a little confused. How could he not remember what Mr. Lin looked like after only a few seconds?

All that remained in his mind was a figure in black, with an indifferent expression, precise movements, and an extremely imposing presence... but the waiter couldn't recall his appearance at all.

Forget it, I don't want to.

The waiter shook his head, then put on his formulaic smile and greeted the guests.

the other side

Banquet hall in the villa

Lin Jiayou, dressed in a black suit, stood firmly in the center of the banquet hall like a solitary pine tree.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and toasts among the crowd, an exceptionally intelligent elderly man in a wheelchair basked in the praise from all sides, his laughter and chatter constantly reaching Lin Jiayou's ears.

Lin Jiayou remained indifferent, his actions over the past week aimed solely at gaining entry into the banquet.

Then......

We await good news.

...............................

After three rounds of drinks

Shinji Yamazaki, whom Lin Jiayou had targeted, secretly left the scene when no one was paying attention. Seeing this, Ken Seiba, the head of the Seiba family, also left the banquet hall under some pretext.

Lin Jiayou saw all of these actions.

Not long after...

boom--

The gunshot shattered the joy of the banquet and broke the guests' clamor.

Everyone looked up, their faces blank, searching for the host of the banquet, Master Lai Yu.

"what happened?"

"Why were there gunshots?"

"What happened?"

"Quickly, go find the master!"

The butler, standing in the center of the banquet hall, shouted loudly to the servants around him.

After giving orders to the servants, the butler led the guests to search for the source of the gunshots.

Shortly after, Ken Seiba, the head of the Seiba family, emerged from a nearby room in a wheelchair.

His face looked flushed, as if he had done some strenuous activity. He gritted his teeth and shouted loudly at the crowd around him.

"what happened?!"

"What's all this noise about! Where's the butler? Butler, come out and tell me what happened?!"

"Master, Master, I'm here."

The butler quickly walked up to Seiyu Ken, bowed slightly, and said to him,

"Sir, just now, for some reason, a gunshot suddenly rang out in our house. Everyone was startled, and then we discovered that you were missing. We are now searching for you and the source of the gunshot."

"Hmph! I'm fine. I just went to deal with some minor issues."

Seiba Ken snorted, then burst into laughter at the guests.

"I will have my servants check on the gunshots, so everyone need not worry."

"Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"

Although Ken Seba said that, these wealthy and influential guests were still not entirely at ease until they saw the final result.

Before long, the servants finally discovered the source of the gunshots.

The body of General Manager Shinji Yamazaki was also discovered.

Urged on by the others, Ken Seiba quickly dialed the police.

Some time later, Inspector Megure, the head of the Violent Crimes Division 3 of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division, led a team to the Seiha residence. Accompanying them was the currently famous high school detective, Shinichi Kudo.

......................

After Inspector Megure and his team arrived, they quickly conducted a "meticulous" inspection of the entire villa, and also carefully searched the crime scene where the deceased Shinji Yamazaki was found.

After a search, it was discovered that Shinji Yamazaki died in a guest room of the villa, not far from the banquet hall. There were several other guest rooms connected to each other, but none of them were close to each other.

In addition, the room where Shinji Yamazaki died was locked from the inside, and the glass door leading to the balcony was wide open, so Inspector Megure quickly drew a conclusion.

This is a robber who scaled the wall to enter the room in an attempt to steal, but ran into General Manager Yamazaki. To prevent the crime from being exposed, he killed him.

However, Shinichi Kudo, the "savior of the Japanese police" and the "renowned detective of the Kanto region," has a different perspective on this matter.
