"...Um...where is this..."

After an unknown amount of time, Sawaki Kohei gradually awoke from his coma.

"You're finally awake, Mr. Sawaki. Now we can have a proper talk about why you killed Miss Nana."

Inspector Megure's words struck Sawaki Kohei like a thunderbolt, instantly bringing him to his senses.

"So that's how it is, I've already failed... Hahahahahaha"

Upon realizing that his plan had failed, Sawaki Kohei began to laugh maniacally.

"Please answer my question carefully, Mr. Sawaki Kohei!"

Seeing that Sawaki Kohei's condition was not right, Inspector Megure raised his voice and warned him.

"That's because they deserve to die!" Ze Muping shouted as if he had gone mad.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present.

You're saying they... could it be that they are?!

"That's right, whether it's this woman or Xu Shengyi and his gang, they all deserve to die!"

"So all of this is..." Kogoro Mouri was very surprised. They had always thought that the murderer was Joe Murakami, but they didn't expect that they were wrong from the start.

"But why? They clearly have nothing to do with you, right?"

Inspector Megure felt something was off. Why would Sawaki Kohei go to such lengths to kill the others when they had no connection to each other?

"Hmph! Why should I tell you?" Surprisingly, Ze Muping's attitude was unusually firm.

“I think it’s probably due to a taste disorder,” Asakawa Yu said.

!!!

"You! How is this possible?!" Ze Muping's face turned pale instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"A taste disorder? What exactly is going on, Asakawa-kun?"

"Do you mean the kind of illness where you can't tell the taste of food and drinks?" Mr. Yongming asked, slightly puzzled.

"That's right, I say that because of what Conan and I just saw in the kitchen."

The kitchen? That's right! It's that thing!

When Asakawa Yu mentioned the kitchen, Conan finally understood.

“When Conan and I went to get our drinks, we saw you, Mr. Sawaki, tasting a condiment. And the condiment you tasted was chili powder. As everyone knows, for a wine taster like you who has to work with your tongue every day, your tongue is your life. Am I right, Mr. Sawaki?”

"Hahaha, impressive, impressive! I admit it, I do have a taste disorder, and it's all thanks to these people!"

Seeing that his secret had been exposed, Ze Mu Gongping completely dropped his disguise.

“It is exactly as you just said. Three months ago, on my way home from the store, my car and Ms. Nana’s car collided and I suddenly fell over. Since then, my sense of taste has been temporarily lost.”

"So it was you back then..." Nana Koyama exclaimed in surprise.

"The doctor also thought that I was probably caused by too much stress, but in my despair, I resolutely quit my job as a bartender and decided to take revenge on Nana Koyama, who caused the car accident that killed me, as well as Katsuyoshi Asahi, Mr. Hiroki, and Nishina who put pressure on me."

"But what did Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi do to you?"

The other three are fine, but they don't know Xu Shengyi yet.

"Xu Shengyi's mind is entirely focused on those wines. He only knows how to use his enormous wealth to buy rare wines from overseas for profit, but he has not fulfilled his management responsibilities!"

At this point, Sawaki Kohei suddenly turned around, "Nishina! That guy, under the guise of a gourmet, wrote some rubbish wine tasting book that conveys nothing but wrong wine knowledge to his readers!"

"And Hiroki! He insulted the dignity of a wine connoisseur!"

Next, Sawaki Kohei began to recount his past with Hiroki.

“Four months ago, I attended a cocktail party he hosted at his home.”

In his memory, as soon as Sawaki Kohei pushed open the door and entered, Hiroki immediately stood up and walked up to him. "You're here! Look at this badge you're using as a bartender, it's pretty good."

As he spoke, he took out a badge with a pig design and pinned it to Ze Mu Gongping's chest.

"Next up is the tasting dish. Look how nice this is, isn't it?" He then picked up a spoon and hung it around Sawaki Kohei's neck.

[This guy went too far.]

No wonder the bartender wanted to kill him; he deserved to die.

"So you're going to kill Mr. Hiroki over such a trivial matter?" Inspector Megure was shocked, and Inspector Shiratori also frowned.

"You call this a small matter? Can any of you understand how I felt at that time? I've always considered being a bartender my calling, my integrity, and my dignity! And all of that was ruined by that shallow guy!"

"So you're going to target Eri and the others just because of that? You know we've been friends for years!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri also became angry.

"Hmph! For my revenge, I'm willing to give up anything else!" Ze Mu Gongping acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

"you!"

Click! Suddenly, all the lights in the restaurant went out again, and the surroundings became dark once more.

"This is……"

"Hahaha, all of you will stay here and be buried with me!"

Sawaki Kohei shouted frantically, his right hand somehow gripping a remote control!

"Stop him!" Conan shouted as soon as he saw this, but it was too late.

Sawaki Kohei pressed the button on the remote control.

boom!

In an instant, a violent explosion resounded throughout the underwater restaurant, shattering the walls and causing seawater to continuously flow in from the outside.

Everyone was startled by this sudden scene, but they were then swept underwater by the rapid force of the seawater.

But soon, everyone quickly adapted to the situation and swam towards the surface.

But there was one exception: "Help! I...I can't swim! *glug*..."

Renke was also submerged in the seawater, struggling frantically as he was completely immersed in the water.

Fortunately, with Kogoro Mouri's help, he was brought to the surface of the water.

"call!"

Gradually, everyone began to float to the surface.

"Ai!" Miyano Akemi called out her younger sister's name after arriving upstairs.

"I'm here." Ai Haibara quickly replied so as not to worry her sister.

"I didn't expect you kids to be so tough." Mr. Yongming, who had come up above, looked at Conan and the others and began to tease them.

"Tch." Conan turned his head away arrogantly.

[It's over, Ferrari is gone.]

[The ultimate iconic scene is about to unfold!]

Wait, where's Ran?

Just as everyone started to surface one by one, Conan noticed something was wrong.

He started looking around, but he couldn't see that familiar figure!

This also means—something happened to Xiaolan!
