Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"Is that why Miss Mio can't refuse Mr. Oki's request for accommodation?" There was a hint of complexity in Xiaolan's eyes.

"In any case, Officer Megure, Mio can't be the murderer. Shiraizumi Masu already provided an alibi for Tokiwa Mio." Mori, who had a soft spot for his beautiful junior, defended her. However, his eyes betrayed a hint of displeasure towards Shiraizumi. It was as if he was complaining that the junior had come to Shiraizumi instead of him to experience the hotel.

"If we rule out her, who else would kill Oki Iwamatsu?" Thinking of this, Inspector Megure turned his gaze back to the four photos on the whiteboard.

"Oh right," Sonoko suddenly said. "This little wine glass looks a bit like the little plate with Japanese paintings on it! My dad also likes Japanese paintings, and this looks a lot like the little bowl used for pounding powder."

"Kiragi does have some connection to this wine glass," Inspector Megure nodded and said, "But this connection may not be reliable. Unless we find more clues and evidence, this connection is no different from conjecture."

"I haven't heard that Kazama and Sawaguchi have any relationship with Ohki." Shiratori glanced at the notebook in her hand. "Sawaguchi Chinami's father was a journalist. He died of overwork during her senior year, but I haven't heard that he had any relationship with Ohki."

"Died from overwork?" Bai Quanyi was stunned. "What kind of reporter has such a heavy workload? A Hong Kong reporter?"

"Mr. Kazama, are you really the disciple of Moritani Teiji?" Conan suddenly asked a question.

"That's true." Shiratori stroked his chin. "But he's different from Moriya Teiji, who calls himself an artist. He's a technician by training, and he doesn't have much persistence."

Conan hummed, but his eyes were fixed on a photo that was clipped upside down in Shiratori's manual, and he immediately gave Baiquanyi a look.

"Brother Bai Quanyi, I want to see that photo."

Baiquanyi nodded speechlessly, "Officer Shiratori, please show the photo to Conan."

"Eh? Conan, what are you looking at the photos for?"

"Isn't it possible?" Conan said cutely.

"Ok."

Shiratori gave the photo to Conan so easily.

Conan picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.

In the photo, Oki Yansong was wearing pajamas, leaning dejectedly against the wardrobe, with a bloodstain on his chest. Strangely, the bloodstain on the wardrobe behind him was not behind him, but half a meter away from the body, in a splattered shape, and the shape was a slightly strange "L".

"The bloodstains only extend to the area under the wardrobe?" Conan studied the photo. "And the shape... is a bit too unnatural..."

……

In the cinema on weekend mornings, the early show was very empty. There were only a few people in the huge cinema, which seemed unusually empty. The movie being shown on the screen was also a slightly dull movie.

Xiao Ai sat in the back rows of the screening room, looking at the light and shadow on the screen with an expressionless face. However, there was always an inexplicable emotion on her pretty face, which made people feel a little cold.

"Brother! Brother!" On the movie screen, a blonde girl hugged her brother who fell to the ground, crying bitterly, "Why is this happening? Why!"

"Cough..." Blood gushed out of his chest, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the man lying in his sister's arms. "Anyway, this is the fate of a... traitor..." He lost his voice before he finished speaking.

"The end of a traitor... is this..." Xiao Ai, who had always had an expressionless face, looked at the screen with a hint of loneliness, her ice-blue eyes were slightly dim, and she muttered to herself.

"Is it really okay to watch this kind of movie so early in the morning?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side. Xiao Ai subconsciously turned her head, and what appeared in front of her was the figure of Bai Quanyi holding a cup of hot drink.

"How do you know I'm here..." Xiao Ai took the drink and looked at Quan Yi with a confused look on her face.

"My phone has your phone's location, and I have to ensure your safety at all times." Quan Yi shrugged, put down the drink in his hand, and sat to Xiao Ai's left.

"What should I say?" After hearing Baiquanyi's words, Xiao Ai felt inexplicably relieved, and the corners of her mouth raised a little, "My brother is a sister-con stalker."

"It's not that serious... It's just the concern of my family. Ai, are you still angry with me?"

"Humph! How can I not be angry? You were kissing and making out with Miss Tokiwa, leaving me aside, and you even wanted to be intimate with Miss Tokiwa in front of me. Do you treat me like I don't exist?"

"I'm not okay. Ai, I treat you as a real family member, so I'm not on guard against you."

"Being your sister now is just a temporary measure. When I return to my original state... I will no longer be your sister!"

Xiao Ai said dissatisfiedly.

"What do you mean by waiting until you return to your original state?"

"Haven't you seen it already?"

"Oh! You mean you in the photo ten years later."

"Yes."

"I have to wait ten years..."

"You won't wait for me for ten years?"

"I'm willing to do it for the rest of my life... not to mention ten years..."

Bai Quanyi said gently.

Xiao Ai was bewitched by Bai Quanyi's deep eyes, and her mood improved. She gradually stopped being angry with Bai Quanyi...

73. Xiao Ai's same hairstyle

Conan investigated the death of the congressman alone, but found that Yuan Jiaming had been shot dead at home.

In addition, a small wine glass that was smashed in two appeared near Yuan Jiaming's body, just like the one at the scene of Oki Yansong's death, but it was slightly different.

Not long after, Inspector Megure, who received a notification from Conan, rushed to the scene with his fellow police officers, and Shiraizumi Mashi also arrived.

"How is it, Coroner?" asked Inspector Megure.

The forensic doctor said: "Although we haven't performed an autopsy, we can roughly infer that the time was between yesterday afternoon and evening."

"The deceased might have wanted to eat chocolate cake at the time," Officer Shiratori said, looking at the half-eaten cake on the table. "At this time, the criminal came here, and the deceased picked up the cake knife to resist. He was then shot in the chest and died instantly."

"But how do you explain this small wine glass?" Detective Takagi asked puzzledly as he looked at the plastic bag containing the small wine glass in the forensic officer's hand.

"Needless to say?" Officer Shiratori said calmly, "The murderer is the same person who killed Oki Yansong. This is a serial murder case."

"However, the possibility that this small wine glass was left there intentionally by the criminal rather than as a death message by the deceased has increased." Officer Megure said with a serious expression, turning to look at Izumi. "Brother Izumi, what do you think?"

"My opinion is different from yours." Quan Yi frowned and looked at the plastic bag in the forensic officer's hand. "Especially this small wine glass. It makes me very suspicious."

"Small wine glass?" Everyone focused their attention on the small wine glass in the forensic officer's plastic bag, but no one could make out what it was. Only Conan on the side showed a slightly strange look.

"This plastic bag contains all the fragments, right?" Quan Yixian asked the forensic officer.

"That's right, Officer Bai. Not a single piece is missing." The forensic officer straightened his back.

"That's why I find it strange." Izumi turned to face the group. "When I arrived, and when you, Inspector Megure, arrived, we could all see the small wine glass placed in a pool of blood, but there's not a trace of blood on these fragments."

"The small wine glass at the scene where Oki Yansong was murdered was covered in blood. If this is a serial murder, with the same killer and the same method, why is there no blood on this small wine glass? It's very strange."

"So, could it be that the first murderer killed Mr. Yuan, and the second murderer who killed Oki Yansong rushed here, encountered Mr. Yuan who was already dead, and put down the small wine glass, pretending it was a serial murder case?"

Following Izumi's statement, Megure and the others, including Conan, all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

"Indeed, this possibility is very high!" Megure nodded. "Shiratori, are there any other discoveries at the scene?"

"Yes, all the data in Mr. Yuan's computer has been deleted." Officer Shiratori reported.

"Hmm... this might also be one of the motives for murder." Inspector Megure thought.

……

Sunday, the day the Twin Towers officially opened.

"Hey, hey, what's going on?" Maori Kogoro shouted in dissatisfaction in the car, "The rich lady hasn't arrived yet?"

"Yuanzi..." Xiaolan was also extremely embarrassed and spread her hands helplessly, "Maybe she is still procrastinating."

Conan curled his lips in the car. He was very familiar with Sonoko's personality. It was likely that she would take a long time to put on makeup again.

Sunday was the day for the official opening and celebration of the Tokiwa Group's twin skyscrapers.

Conan said, "Then why don't we just not wait for Sister Sonoko?"

Suddenly, a voice came closer from a distance. It was Sonoko, "Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"Come on, Sonoko... Sonoko?!" Xiaolan was interrupted from her thoughts and greeted subconsciously, but when she turned around, she suddenly exclaimed, "What's wrong with your hair?"

"Hehe, a different feeling!" The girl in the distance came over with a smile. Her hair, which was originally combed neatly and hung by her ears, had suddenly turned into wavy curls. In addition, Sonoko's original hair was brown, so now it seemed that she looked exactly like Ai!

"I just specially permed my hair to be the same as little sister Ai's. How about it? Not bad, right?" Sonoko lifted her hair with her hand.

Xiaolan said, "Yeah. It feels very different."

At the same time, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department searched the First Division office.

"Inspector, let's go to the banquet hall too!" Officer Takagi said anxiously under the twin skyscrapers, "Otherwise..."

"No, since Miss Tokiwa refuses, we can't force our way in." Inspector Megure shook his head and sighed, "We can only wait here."

"Only Shiraizumi Masu received a special invitation from Miss Tokiwa, so we can only count on him." Officer Shiratori on the side also sighed and looked up at the skyscraper that was coated with a faint golden color under the setting sun.

Gao Mu said enviously: "Officer Bai is really popular with women."

Twin Towers, Ballroom.

The atmosphere in the hall was cheerful, with countless guests in their best clothes walking around and laughter ringing out.

"Caviar with foie gras, wow, and roast duck!" In the crowd, Maori Kogoro was carrying a plate and sweeping the entire banquet table. "Ah! I can't stand it anymore!"

"Dad, don't eat in such an ugly way." Xiaolan was really speechless towards her father.

Sonoko quickly found Shiraizumi Masu who was also at the party and showed off her new hairstyle in front of him.

"Bai Jun, how about my current hairstyle?"

"Wow...so cute!"

"Exactly the same as little Ai when she grows up, right? Bai Jun, I know you and little Ai have a good relationship. You can treat me as little Ai when she grows up, and then you don't have to worry about ethical issues. Do you want to consider it? Hehe..."

"Huh? That's a great suggestion indeed!"

Bai Quanyi (Li Zhaohao) couldn't help but be moved.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ai was very dissatisfied, "Sister Sonoko, you only have the same hairstyle as me, everything else is completely different!"

"Don't say that. Ai-chan, I think I'm pretty cute right now, no worse than you."

Yuanzi raised the corner of her lips and said provocatively.

"Damn it!" Xiao Ai gritted her teeth. "Brother, I don't allow you to treat Sister Sonoko as me and have sex with her."

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned when she heard this and said, "Huh? How come little Ai knows everything? Bai Jun, did you teach her? Be careful not to teach her bad things."

"I didn't!" Bai Quanyi said with a look of injustice, "Xiao Ai, please stop talking nonsense. How could such a thing be possible? Miss Suzuki is not a casual girl. She was just joking."

Xiao Ai, like Conan, has become an elementary school student, but she doesn't look like an elementary school student at all. Shiraizumi Masu is very helpless.

74. Gin and Vodka were arrested by the police

Twin Towers, one floor.

In the black Porsche 356A, two figures were sitting quietly in the car, gazing at the brightly lit building.

"Brother, are you sure she will come?"

"Yes," Gin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, snorted coldly, "I can already smell the scent of this rat!" At this, a fierce light flashed in Gin's eyes. He slowly put out the cigarette butt in his hand, watching the cigarette break into a pair of brown powders in his hand.

"We'll meet again soon, Shirley... This time, let me commemorate you with beautiful blood flowers!"

As a result, Gin and Vodka got out of the car and were arrested by the detectives from the Investigation Section who had ambushed them in advance as soon as they showed their heads.

Shiraizumi Mashi had already informed Inspector Megure in advance that as soon as the Porsche 356A appeared, the people in the car should be arrested immediately.

As for the evidence… a search of the Porsche 356A would reveal sniper rifles, bomb remote controls, bazookas, and other controlled weapons. This alone is enough to send them to prison. Japan has extremely strict gun control, and the fact that these two idiots were carrying all sorts of dangerous weapons is enough to prosecute them.

Inspector Megure and his men soon discovered the very conspicuous Porsche 356A. This kind of special car, when it is parading in the streets, can be spotted even by the blind police.

"Put your hands up." Inspector Megure and his men, more than ten detectives including Takagi, Chiba, and Shiratori, surrounded Gin and Vodka.

"You dare to arrest me? Do you know who I am?" Gin said.

"I don't care who you are. We have evidence of your crimes!" Inspector Megure said. "Put your hands up, or I'll shoot."

Vodka asked in a low voice: "Brother, what should we do?"

Gin had no choice but to say, "Do as they say."

Gin is a smart man. No matter how powerful he and Vodka are, they cannot break through the siege of more than a dozen detectives.

Subsequently, Gin and Vodka were arrested by the police. At the same time, the Japanese police found various firearms including sniper rifles, bomb remote controls, and uninstalled bombs in the car.

The Porsche 356A is a mobile armory, which shocked Inspector Megure...

……

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall, you can see the majestic Mount Fuji shining brilliantly in the slightly reddish sunset.
