Model worker and his little darling

"Officer, I can't think of any with the number nine right now, but I do remember one with the number eight, which is Ze Mu Gong Ping."

"Okay, we'll head over right now."

Inspector Megure waved his hand and led a few people to Sawaki Heihei's house.

“Hira, I also think it’s possible that the murderer isn’t Murakami Takeshi, but someone is impersonating him. Knowing the people around me, this person must know me, but I’ve thought about it all the way here and can’t think of anyone around me who would do such a thing.”

“Uncle, since this person used the order of the playing cards, he will definitely continue to kill people. He may have already infiltrated our ranks. If we observe carefully, we will definitely be able to find him.”

Uncle Mori nodded, his mind racing as he considered who might be the perpetrator.

Looking at the serious-looking uncle, Pingqing knew that the uncle was really angry this time. After all, it was too painful to see familiar people being sent to the hospital one by one.

Upon arriving at Sawaki Kohei's house, he had not yet been attacked and was slightly surprised after hearing Inspector Megure's description.

Heijiro and Conan toured Sawaki Kohei's collection, a whole cabinet full of high-end wines.

When Heiji heard Sawaki Kohei mention that there was another estate filled with fine wine, Taira Kiyoshi was already getting excited.

Since this guy is going to jail anyway, isn't it a waste to leave all these good things here? It's better to let him have them all and sell them for money. They're just gathering dust here anyway.

With that in mind, Pingqing began making arrangements. Once they left, someone would come to move the things.

Hearing the group continue talking about alcohol, Inspector Megure could no longer contain himself and coughed twice. "Mr. Sawaki, what are your plans for the next part of the day?"

Sawaki Kohei glanced at his watch. "It's almost time. I need to meet with Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi. He recently built an underwater restaurant in Tokyo Bay, and we'll be meeting there in a bit."

Upon hearing the name, Uncle Mori slapped his forehead. "Inspector Megure, I also know this Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi. I once helped him find a cat. You see, his name contains the number nine."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure immediately decided to go to the underwater restaurant with Kohei Sawaki.

Soon, the group arrived near the underwater restaurant, a spectacular building that spans the water's surface.

"How magnificent!"

Hearing Xiaolan's praise, Pingqing felt sorry for the building that was about to be blown up. He had to admit, the idea was really good and eye-catching.

Suddenly, a roaring sound rang out, and a red sports car pulled up in front of the group. The newcomer was none other than model Nana Koyama. Several more people followed: a food critic, a photographer, and a TV presenter, all invited by Katsuyoshi Asahi to the underwater restaurant.

After a brief greeting, we took the cable car together to the underwater restaurant.

Once inside, it was even more spectacular, with glass walls on all four sides, and all kinds of fish visible at a glance.

Inspector Megure gave a brief account of the series of attacks, but the others didn't seem to care much.

Heiji followed Uncle Mori to search the restaurant, and as they searched, Heiji spotted something familiar in a hidden corner.

bomb!

Or it's an organized-production bomb!

Hirakiyo: ?

Could it be that the real culprit behind blowing up this restaurant is actually the organization? Could it be that Asahi Katsuyoshi has some connection with the organization? That shouldn't be the case.

Uncle Mori saw that Taira no Kiyoshi was standing still. "Taira no Kiyoshi, have you found anything?"

"No, I just think the patterns on the wall here are quite pretty."

After following the uncle around for a while, the uncle didn't find anything and had to return to the lobby.

Hearing the group discussing names containing numbers, Pingqing quietly walked to the side and sent a message to Gin, wanting to know if the organization was planning to blow up the place.

The owner of this restaurant is already dead. He originally planned to disarm the bomb that Ze Muping had planted, and then buy the place after Ze Muping went to jail so he could become the big boss.

And here we find the organization's bomb. What, can't a movie be made without a bomb? Do they have to blow it up to be satisfied? Or do they absolutely have to have Conan and Ran have a scene together?

Pingqing was filled with resentment. He had already planned everything out, and the grand opening was in a few days. He had just started dreaming when he was woken up.

Soon, Vodka brought news that the organization had not planned to blow up the place.

Pingqing glanced at Ze Mugong. This man couldn't possibly have contact with the organization, much less be a member. The organization's weapons and explosives weren't sold to individuals. The source of the bomb…

Is someone in the organization lining their own pockets and selling the goods privately? Is a member retaliating against Xu Shengyi because they have a grudge? Or are they helping him?

Thinking about this, Pingqing, whose mood was already bad, became even worse. When did things organized by the government become so ubiquitous?

He then shared his conjecture with Gin and Vodka, urging them to investigate immediately.

"Brother Pingqing, did you discover something? Or has something happened?"

Conan saw that Hirai had been standing in front of the sports car for a long time and thought that Hirai had discovered something, so he immediately came over.

Ping Qing put away his phone. "Are those people problematic?"

"I think there's something wrong with that bartender, Mr. Sawaki Kohei. I just saw him tasting the seasonings in the kitchen. Also, Nana Koyamachi received nail polish from Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi."

Pingqing nodded. As expected of Conan, he noticed points that could be used to solve the case later.

Suddenly, everyone at the table stood up.

Conan rushed over to inquire about the situation and learned that Asahi Katsuyoshi had instructed Sawaki Kohei to retrieve a bottle of fine wine from the warehouse to entertain the guests. The others, also wanting to see Asahi Katsuyoshi's collection, all expressed their desire to go along.

Pingqing then carried Conan to the side and pointed to something in the corner, "Conan, look what's that?"

Conan leaned closer for a look and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "A bomb?"

“Brother Pingqing, if this bomb explodes, it will blow through the restaurant and seawater will rush in.”

"Ah."

Although he loves setting off fireworks, he doesn't want to spend time in the sea.

"Brother Pingqing, are there any other bombs elsewhere?"

"If someone wants to blow this place up, they certainly wouldn't just plant one bomb; there must be one in the power room."

"Now we're in a difficult situation. We can't just say there's a bomb here. If the killer is among that group and finds out about the bomb, he could detonate it and we'd be in big trouble."

"Besides, I haven't seen Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi for so long, I think he may have been murdered. By the way, Taira Kiyoshi-nii, you should know how to defuse bombs, right?"

"Yes, but are you sure you want me to defuse the bomb here openly? Uncle and the others are already back."

Sure enough, Conan turned around and saw that the uncle and the others had already walked over.
