A group of people dressed up as Conan characters, and I guaranteed the Black Team's advancement

Suzuki Hotel

After harassing Binga, Jiang Jin disguised himself as a waiter and wandered around the banquet hall, secretly observing and eavesdropping on the conversations of the celebrities there.

His disguise made him look ordinary; he would have gone unnoticed in a crowd. That's how he discovered Conan and his group, but they didn't notice Jiang Jin.

It wasn't that she didn't notice at all; at least, Iori Muga, who was always vigilant and alert, noticed that Jiang Jin had been moved.

However, after observing for a long time, Iori Muga did not find any unusual behavior from the waiter he suspected.

"Miss Sonoko." A woman in business attire found Sonoko in the banquet hall, her face showing some anxiety. Sonoko turned her head and replied, "Oh, it's Miss Mimi. Thank you for your hard work today."

Then Sonoko introduced everyone again: "This is Ms. Kotobuki, the older sister of Ms. Karen, the winner of the Miss Japan pageant."

After greeting the others, Shou Meimei lowered her voice and said in an unnatural tone, "Miss Sonoko, my sister... she received a threatening letter."

Sonoko's expression immediately turned serious, and Conan and the others reacted as if they had been put on the defensive.

"Did you call the police?" Sonoko asked. Kotobuki shook her head. Kogoro Mouri stepped forward and said seriously, "We should notify the police as soon as possible. Also, could you take us to see that threatening letter first?"

Jiang Jin, who had been observing Conan and his friends from a distance, noticed that they all suddenly left with a woman. He narrowed his eyes, sensing a murder.

Is Death about to strike again? We need to quickly notify the boss and Binga to take action as soon as possible, otherwise, if a murder occurs, it will be difficult to escape once the police arrive.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Jin turned and hurriedly left.

[Shou Meilian's Rest Room]

Shou Meimei led everyone to her sister's lounge, but Shou Meilian was not there.

"This is the threatening letter my sister received." Kotobuki Mimi took a letter out of the cabinet and handed it to Kogoro Mouri. The font on it was clearly printed.

Several people crowded around to look, and Kogoro Mori read aloud: "My dearest Karen, congratulations on winning the award. Tonight, I will shoot through your heart and make you my puppet. Otherwise, you will die!"

“I found this thing in the crack of the door.” Shou Meimei clenched her hands nervously. “I only told a very small number of staff members.”

Conan leaned closer to the letter and smelled a fragrance on it.

“In this situation, shouldn’t we call the police first?” Kazuha took out her phone as if to make a call, but her action was interrupted by a voice, “I don’t think there’s any need for that at all.”

At the entrance to the lounge, Shou Meilian walked in gracefully, dressed in a pearlescent gown. Her face was filled with arrogance, and she glanced at the threatening letter with disdain.

"It's just a prank sent by some bored person or someone who's jealous of me." Shou Xianglian sat down gracefully, then lifted her skirt and pointed to a dagger strapped to her leg. "Besides, I prepared this. No one who comes here will have an easy time."

Because the assertive Xianglian completely disregarded the threatening letter, Meimei had no choice but to apologetically see Conan and the others out of the lounge.

The group returned to the banquet hall and continued their conversation while enjoying desserts.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the banquet hall, Binga and reporter Mitsui Hisaichiro completed their transaction.

"The money is in the hotel room. Here's the room key. Go get it yourself." Binga handed Mitsui a room key. Mitsui's eyes were filled with greed for the huge fortune he was about to receive, completely oblivious to the mockery in Binga's eyes.

Just as Mitsui Hisaichiro turned to leave the banquet hall with his room key, he bumped into a waiter, spilling all the dishes from the waiter's plate onto him.

"You bastard, can't you watch where you're going?!" Mitsui yelled. The waiter quickly bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, let me take you to change your clothes."

Mitsui Hisaichiro was furious at the grease soaking his clothes. Walking around the hotel like this without cleaning them would attract too much attention: "Hurry up and lead the way!"

The waiter glanced at Binga, then meekly led Mitsui Hisaichiro out of the banquet hall.

As the new dishes were brought out one after another by the waiters, Ooka Momiji tried to avoid the waiters by moving to the side, but unexpectedly bumped into someone holding a wine glass.

"Excuse me, miss!" The waiter was clearly not as skilled as Jiang Jin, and the champagne was spilled all over Ooka Momiji's dress. "Never mind, you didn't do it on purpose. I'll take care of it. It's a pity about this dress."

The waiter immediately thanked her, saying, "Thank you, miss. Let me take you there."

Iori Muga was worried about leaving the young lady alone, but Kazuha said, "Butler Iori, it's more convenient for me to go. Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

After Ooka Momiji quickly wiped away the wine stains, the two girls walked back together, only to find they were lost. Kazuha couldn't help but say, "If I had known, I would have made that waiter wait a little longer."

“Let’s walk a little further; maybe we’ll run into some other staff and ask for directions,” said Hongye. The two walked to the vicinity of the linen room, and He Ye heard some movement inside. “There seems to be someone here; they should be hotel staff. Shall we ask?”

Hongye nodded in agreement, then raised her hand and knocked on the door of the linen room: "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

In the linen room, Jiang Jin, who was stuffing the body into the garbage chute, stopped in his tracks. Wearing gloves, he turned his head and stared at the door of the linen room.

He had already locked the door when he came in, so no one outside could get in. However, he hoped the other party wouldn't knock for too long and prevent him from leaving.

Hongye knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside. She turned to Hongye and said, "It seems like there's no one inside."

"No? Then I must have misheard. Let's walk a little further."

The knocking stopped, and Jiang Jin turned around expressionlessly to continue dealing with Mitsui Hisaichiro's body. The body slid down the garbage chute; the hotel cleaned up all the trash together, so it wasn't until several days later that people discovered it.

After tidying up the traces in the linen room, Jiang Jin opened the door and walked into the corridor to leave.

"Sir, wait a minute!" Jiang Jin paused, his hand holding the knife in his pocket. He slowly turned around and saw He Ye and Hong Ye.

It turned out that the two girls had walked to the end of the corridor and had to turn back. Unexpectedly, they ran into Jiang Jin coming out of the linen room when they returned.

Jiang Jin turned around, his ordinary face showing a chilling expression as he looked at the two of them. He Ye subconsciously grabbed Hong Ye's arm, and Hong Ye recognized him as the waiter who had helped her up in the banquet hall earlier.

"Ladies, is there anything I can help you with?" After a few seconds, Jiang Jin finally put on a smile and asked, while Ye said somewhat awkwardly, "We... we're lost. Could you tell us how to get to the banquet hall?"

Jiang Jin relaxed a little: "I see. Then I'll take you back."

Someone led the way, and the two exchanged a glance before quickly following. The corridor was quiet, save for the sound of their footsteps. Jiang Jin walked in front, with He Ye and Hong Ye following behind.

He Ye felt something was off about the waiter, making her feel uneasy. Hong Ye, while also sensing a peculiar aura about the waiter, wasn't afraid.

After Jiang Jin led the two girls for a few minutes, they encountered Iori Muga, who had come looking for someone. Apparently, because Ooka Momiji hadn't returned for a long time, Iori Muga became nervous when she saw Jiang Jin.

"You're here to see these two young ladies, right?" Jiang Jin stepped aside slightly, revealing the two girls behind him. "They got lost, and I happened to run into them, so I brought them back."

Kazuha and Momiji immediately walked towards Iori Muga, with the butler shielding them behind him: "Thank you."
