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

"He looks a bit like that female news anchor from the morning news. I think her name is Rena Mizunashi?"

Hondo Eisuke was still rubbing his forehead with his head down, but his eyes flickered slightly behind his glasses.

“I thought so too before.” Sonoko was delighted to find someone who shared her opinion and immediately chimed in.

Just then, the office doorbell rang. Xiaolan turned to open the door and saw a middle-aged man leading a little boy standing outside.

"You mean this celebrity was thrown off the bridge!" Kogoro Mouri looked at the little boy sitting on the sofa in surprise, holding a poster of the celebrity in his hand.

Ran glanced at the celebrity a few times and said, "Sonoko-neechan, isn't this the celebrity you like, Itagaki Locke? The singer who just debuted last year and became very popular."

"What!" Sonoko exclaimed in shock, snatching the poster from Kogoro Mouri's hand. Her face changed instantly. "I knew it! He's been in the industry for less than a year and he's already saying he's going into a recharging period. Something's definitely wrong!"

Jiang Jin was quite surprised to run into a case. He glanced at Hondo Eiyu, who didn't seem to be leaving, and leaned to the side to listen.

“When I was playing this singer’s songs in the car, the child told me, ‘Dad, this saw brother is dead.’” The man said with a hint of horror in his voice. “At first, I didn’t really believe it, but when I heard that the person suddenly said he wanted to rest, I started to feel something was strange, so I decided to come to you, Detective Mouri, to talk to you.”

Conan thought for a moment, then turned to the little boy and asked, "By the way, little brother, when and on which bridge did you see it?"

The child thought for a moment and replied, "I saw it not long ago, but I forgot where I saw it. Ah, I heard a very loud sound of fireworks going off at that time."

Conan looked puzzled, and Ran also asked, quite strangely, "Fireworks? But there aren't any holidays lately where we need to set off fireworks."

"Mr. Zhu Gu, do you remember where it was?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

Mr. Zhu Gu seemed to remember things quite clearly. He said, "I remember I was taking my child to his grandmother's house and we were crossing the Rainbow Bridge. But suddenly there was a huge traffic jam on the Rainbow Bridge. I also heard a loud explosion, and the drivers in front of me said there had been some kind of accident on the Rainbow Bridge."

Conan's expression changed instantly. Rainbow Bridge! Explosion! Wasn't that what happened when Yago escaped from the hospital a while ago?!

Jiang Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised that things had happened so coincidentally. Could it be related to the organization? He hoped it wasn't some guy in the organization who had been careless and this kid had seen it.

His dark red eyes drooped slightly, concealing a fleeting murderous intent.

"Could you explain the situation more clearly?" Conan said seriously.

The child scratched his head: "Uh, let me think... I remember that person had a really big bag next to him, and he was looking across the river, but then suddenly he picked up the bag and threw it off the bridge."

Hondo Eisuke hurriedly asked, "You mean Itagaki-sensei is in that bag?"

“But how did you know Mr. Itagaki was in there?” Sonoko asked.

The little boy's face suddenly showed a look of great fear: "I saw him fall out of the bag before he was thrown down, and that saw-wielding brother had lots and lots of blood on his face!"

Everyone except Jiang Jin looked extremely tense. It was only then that Jiang Jin spoke up: "But, little brother, if there really was a person in that bag, why would someone be carrying a bag containing a corpse around like that?"

"It was very dark at the time, so you probably wouldn't be able to see it unless you looked closely."

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin: "There's a saying that goes something like this: things you wouldn't notice if you didn't look closely, you just happen to see by chance, right?"

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri didn't believe him, the little boy angrily emphasized, "But I saw it! He probably just fell out of the bag suddenly."

"What happened after that man threw the bag down? What else did he do?" Conan asked again.

"He took a lot of things out of his clothes and threw them around, but because they were covered up, I had no idea what they were," the little boy recalled carefully. "Then he kept looking for something and rummaging around in his clothes."

Jiang Jin narrowed his eyes: "Is he holding something in his mouth?"

The little boy nodded.

"That guy must be holding a cigarette in his mouth, so he's probably looking for a lighter." Hondo Eisuke clapped his hands.

The little boy clearly remembered a lot, but Jiang Jin naturally couldn't be sure whether the matter was related to the organization.

"So what did he do after he finished smoking?" Jiang Jin asked.

"Okay... Get in the car right away, let's drive off."

Conan glanced at Jiang Jin first, then asked, "Do you remember what that person looked like or what car he was in?"

"The car seemed to be dark, and I couldn't see his face because he was wearing a hat," the little boy recalled.

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but think that the child was either mistaken or making up a story. Eisuke Hondo, standing nearby, walked up to the child, reached out and touched his neck, his cat-like eyes now looking at him very seriously, and asked, "Little brother, everything you've said is actually just a story, isn't it?"

"It's not fake! I'm telling the truth," the little boy said firmly, shaking his head.

Conan and Jiang Jin both turned their attention to Hondo Eisuke's actions at that moment.

Jiang Jin knew this was a common lie detector method used by the CIA. He had been thinking about how to get Hondo Eisuke to reveal some flaws, but he didn't expect that he would reveal them himself.

Conan, meanwhile, kept his eyes fixed on Hondo Eisuke, and this action...

“I think this little boy isn’t lying,” Hondo Eisuke said to Kogoro Mouri, patting the boy’s head.

Kogoro Mouri thought he could figure something out after looking at it for so long, but then he realized he was overthinking it.

"Huh? Why are you still defending him? According to him, it's been more than a week since he saw that thing." Kogoro Mouri said, turning on the TV. "If what he said is true, the body should have been discovered long ago, and the news would be making a huge fuss about it by now."

As soon as the TV was turned on, Kogoro Mouri switched to the news channel, which was broadcasting the evening news: "We now have a breaking news update for you. The male body found in the Tsumugi River early this morning has been confirmed by the family to be Mr. Rock Itagaki himself..."

Everyone's eyes turned to the television, and Conan and the others' expressions changed accordingly.

"So, it's true that my son said he saw someone drop the bag containing Mr. Itagaki's body off the bridge!" Mr. Zhu felt a chill run down his spine. If this meant his son was a witness, what if the murderer found out...

After seeing the news, Jiang Jin felt that this couldn't have been done by anyone from the organization. If it were, how could they have made the news? And knowing the deceased was a celebrity, how could they have dared to dispose of the body without disfiguring him?

Such a flimsy method...

“In that case, shouldn’t we tell the police about this right now?” Ran suggested. Kogoro Mouri and Conan both nodded. Jiang Jin’s eyes turned to Hondo Eisuke, and he said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Hondo to be so smart. He can tell whether the little brother is lying or not.”

Sonoko slapped Hondo Eisuke on the shoulder and exclaimed, "You really are something! You're pretty good! I think you could be a detective!" She then glanced at Conan.

Conan twitched his lips, but his gaze toward Hondo Eisuke became inquisitive.

"No, not at all." Hondo Eisuke scratched his hair shyly. "When I was little, my dad often did this to me. I was just imitating him. It felt like a magical ritual."

Jiang Jin, however, had no intention of ending the topic. He brought up Furuya Rei again, saying, "Oh, right. I remember watching a foreign film with Rei before, where an agent tested a witness in this way. I heard Rei say that it's a lie detector technique that some agents use. It's most commonly used by CIA agents. They judge an individual's physiological state by observing changes in their pulse and breathing, as well as the dilation and contraction of their pupils, in order to determine whether they might be lying."

“Bentang classmate, you…” Jiang Jin’s gaze turned to Hontang Eiyu, his dark red pupils staring at him with a smile, which made Hontang Eiyu nervous. After all, he was still a high school student. “…Did your father learn that from movies too?”

Hondo Eisuke's emotions were like a rollercoaster. He took a breath and nodded, still looking confused, "Uh... I think so. He likes watching movies too, haha..."

Because Kogoro Mouri felt that the little boy's testimony was too vague to be trusted by the police, Ran suggested taking the boy to retrace the route taken that day, which might yield a more accurate testimony.

"I won't go with you guys. Zero is still waiting for me at home. I hope Mr. Mori can help the police catch the murderer soon." After Jiang Jin finished speaking, he turned around and said goodbye to the group. Hondo Eisuke glanced at Jiang Jin's back until Sonoko called him, then he turned around and got into Mori Kogoro's car.

As Jiang Jin walked, he took out his phone from his bag and made a call: "Did the organization have any missions last week targeting someone named Itagaki Locke...?"
