Ocean buoy, in the main control room.

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Maori are asking Chief Makino about the details of yesterday.

Officers Takagi and Sato are investigating the criminals entering and leaving the dry deck cabin of the ocean buoy.

Conan followed Kogoro Maori, listening to Chief Makino's words while looking for the other three main engineers with his peripheral vision.

At this moment, Kogoro Maori said, "Chief Makino, where are those engineers now...?"

"Well, let's look at the time... they should be here soon."

As soon as Chief Makino finished speaking, the two main engineers walked into the main control room.

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Maori immediately stepped forward and prepared to question the two in detail.

"Well? Where's Reinhardt? Didn't he come with you?"

Before Inspector Megure and Kogoro Maori walked away with Indian engineer Ed, Chief Makino's words reached everyone's ears.

After hearing this, Conan and Officer Kuroda frowned instantly.

The next second, Officer Kuroda and Officer Shiratori walked directly to Chief Makino and said seriously: "Find him quickly!"

Chief Makino obviously realized something and immediately ordered loudly: "Ed, Grace! Hurry up and bring up the surveillance!"

——"Okay!"

After hearing the chief's order, Grace and Ed quickly ran to their control seats and started to operate on the keyboard in front of them.

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Maori also stopped, turned around and looked behind them, looking at each other in confusion.

Isn't it just that someone is late? Is there any need to make such a fuss?

Anyway, they are conducting individual questioning investigations, even if someone is late... there is no need to take it so seriously, right?

After a few seconds, Engineer Ed suddenly shouted: "Look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he put a document on the big screen.

After a quick glance, engineer Grace said in surprise: "This is from Reinhardt!"

Then, Director Makino stood up with his hand on the table in surprise, "How could it be?! Why did he..."

Conan and Officer Shiratori also frowned, looking at the contents of the document on the big screen with a serious look.

Since the document was written in English, Maori Kogoro couldn't understand the contents at all.

He blinked in confusion, "What? What happened?"

Conan on the side immediately explained: "Reinhardt said that he installed a backdoor in the system and assisted the kidnappers to come in and take Naomi away. He did this for money. He knew that he had made an unforgivable mistake and was ready to end his life..."

"What?!" After listening to Conan's explanation, Maori Kogoro opened his mouth in surprise.

Director Makino and others on the side looked down at Conan in surprise, as if they didn't understand why a child like Conan could understand the 'English letter' on the screen.

The surprise in the eyes of Officer Kuroda and French engineer Grace was obviously even greater.

However, Grace did not stop her hand movements. After looking at Conan, she continued to operate the screen in front of her with her head down.

Not long after, Grace switched the surveillance picture to the big screen, "We have found Reinhardt! He is in the coffee shop!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked up at the big screen.

In the surveillance picture, Reinhardt was holding a cup of coffee in his right hand and walking in the coffee shop expressionlessly.

Under everyone's nervous eyes, he took out a white capsule from his pocket and drank it with the coffee.

Then, his figure became staggering and fell to the ground weakly.

Because Reinhardt's fallen body was blocked by the coffee table, Director Makino immediately spoke and asked Grace to switch to another camera.

After changing several cameras in succession, everyone finally saw Reinhardt's current situation in the surveillance picture again.

He lay flat on the ground in a prone position, motionless.

The coffee around was like blood, spilled all over the floor.

Seeing this, everyone rushed to the coffee shop immediately.

After confirming that Reinhardt was dead, Officer Kuroda ordered Inspector Megure to seal off the scene.

Chief Makino also asked his subordinates about the situation at the time.

Unfortunately, although the coffee shop is a public place, there were no witnesses because it was routine cleaning time.

Officers Takagi and Sato, who received the news, also rushed back to the coffee shop and carefully examined the cause of Reinhardt's death.

"There are ulcers around the mouth. Is it caused by poison... And this smell is..."

At this moment, Conan waved his hand and carefully smelled the air near the head of the deceased, "Not only the smell of coffee, don't you think there is also a faint smell of diluent?"

Before Conan continued to guess, Maori XiaowuLang stepped forward and grabbed Conan by the back of his collar.

"You kid! You said something misleading at the scene again. No matter how you look at it, it's suicide by taking poison!"

Officers Sato and Takagi on the side hurried forward and advised Maori Kogoro not to get excited and put Conan down first.

"But uncle, don't you think it's strange?"

"What's strange?!"

"This uncle Reinhardt should have his own room, so why did he commit suicide in a cafe?"

Conan's words made everyone present, except Maori Kogoro, think.

Indeed.

If Reinhardt really wanted to commit suicide, wouldn't it be okay to do it in his own room?

Why did he have to come to the cafe?

And they chose this special time when the coffee shop was about to undergo routine cleaning and no one was inside...

Just when all the police officers were thinking, Maori Kogoro said confidently: "Is there any need to say this? Of course he wanted to drink a cup of delicious coffee before he died!"

Conan: "..."

After the discussion failed, Officer Kuroda immediately ordered a helicopter to transport Reinhardt's body and bring it back to the Metropolitan Police Department for autopsy.

Because they were not sure whether Reinhardt really committed suicide, Chief Makino and the other two returned to the main control room at the suggestion of Officer Kuroda.

Before the autopsy report came out, no one could leave the ocean buoy without permission.

Inspector Megure and Officer Shiratori re-watched the surveillance video before Reinhardt's death, trying to find some clues from it.

Conan also watched the surveillance with the two of them.

When everyone's attention was focused on the big screen, Engineer Grace secretly glanced at Conan and reached out to operate the computer in front of her.

After a moment, Grace looked at the computer screen in front of her in surprise, with a strange smile on her lips, and the lenses of her glasses were covered by white light from nowhere.

On the other side

After watching the surveillance video twice, Conan frowned deeply.

For some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be something strange about this surveillance video...

At this moment, Conan suddenly remembered what Ryuno said last night:

-'The best way to observe a person is to start from the details and small habits he inadvertently shows. '

Thinking of this, Conan stared at Reinhardt on the screen carefully, observing his every move.

"Wait... this action is..."
