Conan: The Master Behind the Scenes

"It's over. This time, I really won!"

Conan slowly put down the red voice-changing bow tie in his hand, and a proud and confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment,

Bai Shiwu's mouth suddenly raised playfully, and the light of wisdom flashed in his deep dark eyes.

""Hmm!!!!"

Conan had been paying attention to Shiraishi Takeshi's expression.

When he saw the mocking smile that suddenly appeared on Shiraishi Takeshi's face, he was stunned for a moment.

His brain, which was so eager to win Shiraishi Takeshi's reasoning, was instantly cooled down as if a basin of ice water was poured on it.

"Why, why does Shiraishi Takeshi seem to be mocking my reasoning? Wait...wait!!!"

Conan frowned, looking thoughtful, and suddenly recalled what the black-clad weirdo with the code name Tequila said when he was on the phone with Vodka.

"The deal is done!"

"It's foolproof!"

"I will be back to meet you guys before dusk!"

These three sentences that Tequila said to Vodka on the phone before his death echoed in Conan's mind over and over again.

"No, wrong, wrong, I was wrong again, things are not as simple as I thought!"

Conan raised his head suddenly, staring deeply at Shiraishi Takeshi, his face full of stubbornness:"Shiraishi Takeshi, you guy, this matter is not over yet, I will definitely investigate the truth of the incident before you! It's not over yet!"

"No, it's over!"

Shiraishi Takeshi noticed Conan's stubborn expression, and said to himself, then raised his mouth slightly.

"Officer Megure, can I have a word?

""Hmm!?"

Inspector Megure snorted, looked over, and then noticed the unforgettable confident smile on Shiraishi Takeshi's face.

Inspector Megure's face changed, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked:"Brother Shiraishi, you, you...could it be that!!!""

"What's wrong, Inspector Megure?"

"What?"

"Why is Officer Megure so excited all of a sudden?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and became more and more confused, and they all looked over.

"What does Shiraishi Takeshi want to do! ? Why is he putting on that annoying smile again!!! Could it be that - he has seen through the truth of the matter! ?"Conan was shocked.

Feeling the puzzled eyes of everyone,

Shiraishi Takeshi smiled slightly, and then his strong and handsome face became stern and serious, and he said:"Although it is very impolite to say this, out of the professional ethics as a detective, I can only say - I'm sorry, Mr. Maori, your reasoning just now was a mistake!"

"W-what!!!"

"Is it simply a mistake?"

"No, no, no way?!"

"Brother Shiraishi, are you saying that Brother Maori's reasoning just now was wrong? The person who placed the explosives in the briefcase was not Mr. Takeshita, but someone else?" Officer Megure asked hurriedly.

"That's what I mean, but that's not entirely what I mean!" Bai Shiwu explained.

"Brother Shiraishi, what do you mean by this?"Inspector Megure was confused by Shiraishi Takeshi's words.

"Yes, Uncle Shiraishi, you said that Uncle Maori's reasoning just now was completely wrong. Do you have any evidence? The number 98 plate is indeed Mr. Takeshita's? And Mr. Takeshita did not refute it! ?"Conan asked unconvinced

""Conan! Stop messing with me!" Xiaolan hurriedly pulled Conan back, but her beautiful blue eyes, when looking at Shiraishi Takeshi, also had a hint of doubt.

"After listening to my reasoning, everyone will understand!"

Bai Shiwu said confidently:"First of all, judging from the trademark that was found at the explosion site and was bent outward, the explosives must have been loaded in the briefcase, there is no doubt about that!"

"Indeed!" Inspector Megure nodded.

"Second, after the black-clad stranger got the briefcase filled with explosives from the counter, he did not go to the toilet immediately, but made a phone call first."Bai Shiwu said carefully

"Made a phone call!?"Inspector Megure was puzzled.

"Yes, it was the phone call. I was so anxious to defeat this guy Shiraishi Takeshi that I missed this.……"Conan frowned and thought.

"Yes, it was the phone call! Although I didn't listen carefully to his speech at that time, I still heard the deceased's words: The transaction was successful!"Said Bai Shiwu

"Trade!?"Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it was a trade! The way to trade was to put the things they wanted to exchange in the locker first, and then exchange the number plates! And in order to prevent people from finding out that they were trading, they all used the same bag, which was the briefcase used exclusively by Mantiantang Company! And the evidence was——"

As Shiraishi Takeshi was talking, he suddenly pointed at Nakajima Hideaki, who looked nervous:"Mr. Nakajima, can you take out your number plate and show it to everyone?"

"Mr. Nakajima!?"

"What, Nakajima?"

"Mr. Nakajima, please take out your number plate!" Officer Megure stared at Nakajima Hideaki sternly.

"Yes... I was making a deal with that man, Officer, Detective, but I didn't kill him. I had no reason to kill him at all!"

Nakajima Hideaki handed his number plate to Officer Megure and shouted in panic.

"Since Nakajima Hideaki has admitted it, it seems that the trading method that Brother Shiraishi said has been confirmed!"

Inspector Megure said, he took the number plate handed over by Nakajima Hideaki, took a look at it, and exclaimed:"It's actually number 124!"

"Mr. Nakajima, I think you were on your way to the toilet and bumped into the deceased, so you took the opportunity to quickly exchange the number plates and briefcase keys, right?" asked Shiraishi Takeshi.

"Yes, that's true!" Nakajima Hideaki lowered his head and answered nervously

"But why did the deceased use number 98 when he went to the counter to pick up the briefcase?"Inspector Megure was puzzled.

"This is why the deceased said those two sentences after entering the bathroom!"

Bai Shiwu said again:"The first sentence was: Why can't I get in? The second sentence was: Huh? It's not locked?"

"I understand now. This is why Tequila said these two sentences! Damn it, I didn't realize this in advance!" Conan suddenly realized.

"Brother Shiraishi, what do these two sentences mean! ?"Inspector Megure was puzzled.

"I originally thought that these two sentences were uttered by the deceased when he was looking for a toilet stall, but now that I think about it carefully, I realize that I was wrong! The deceased said these two sentences because the key didn't fit! He couldn't open the briefcase!" Bai Shiwu said decisively

"What!?"

"Key discord?"

"Didn't Nakajima already give the keys to the deceased? How come the keys don't match?"

"Of course not! Because when Nakajima returned the number plate to the deceased, Mr. Takeshita had already exchanged his number plate with Nakajima's in advance, so when the deceased took the briefcase at the counter, he used Mr. Takeshita's number 98!" As soon as

Shiraishi Takeshi finished speaking, Takeshita Yuxing suddenly sneered:"Huh! I didn't expect that, by some strange coincidence, Nakajima, you were not killed by the explosion!"

"What!?"

"Takeshita, what you mean is……"

"Could it be that the deceased was……"

"Yes, that's right, the deceased was just a passerby who was killed unjustly because of the grudge between the two of them!" Bai Shiwu said playfully.
