Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Even though they were far apart, the two people appeared for only a short time. But with the help of Dr. Ari's newly invented high-tech glasses, Conan was able to recognize the last two distinguished guests in just a few seconds. .

Deputy Prime Minister Hiroko Muto, who claimed to be ill, and Chief Cabinet Secretary Ichihara Yoshi, who temporarily assumed the role of prime minister.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are the two people with the highest status in Neon's current political arena.

Originally, Conan thought that what Karasuma Sonobu just said, "If the Chief Cabinet Secretary appears, it will be my turn to give in," was just an exaggeration by Karasuma Sonobu.

Who would have thought that the Chief Cabinet Secretary who is now at the top of the political arena would actually appear here.

Even though he had been mentally prepared and was accustomed to being shocked by the identities of the many guests who had arrived before, Conan still couldn't hold back the shock in his eyes when faced with this fact.

Through the group chat on the mobile phone, the news was quickly known to other people in the group.

As the special detective this time, the client behind the scenes directly arranged the people in the same place, but they were in different rooms.

It is far opposite the place where Masahiko Sanada and others live.

At around twelve o'clock at noon, Conan and others gathered in the living room of Tan Tan's room after lunch.

Several people began to exchange information about what they had observed this morning.

Haibara Ai, who appeared here as the assistant of Detective Hakuba, listened to the information gathered by Conan and others, and took the incident between the two Iwazuki brothers and Karasuma Sonobu that happened in the morning as a way to participate. To the insertion point in this thread:

“Edogawa, you must pay attention to your own safety next.

The shocking incident against the Twin Detectives this morning was probably just the beginning. "

Toyama Kazuba, who was also accompanied as an assistant, looked at Hattori Heiji, and Mao Lilan looked at Conan. There was worry in their eyes, obviously agreeing with Haibara Ai's statement.

The people sitting here are not stupid. They can see that the person who shocked the horse this morning was not actually Karasuma Sonobu, but was not well-known among the public, but was well-known in the police system and specialized in breaking the law. The twin detectives of various murder mysteries.

Naoichiro Iwazuki and Koichiro Iwazuki.

Since someone spent so much money to invite a total of nine detectives to investigate the case, and also openly allowed the detectives to participate in this top-notch feast, the originally tightly guarded and heavily guarded security system was added Received elite support from the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau.

So, knowing who this group of detectives are coming for, and who the mysterious client is trying to find out at all costs, the person who so-called dyed the golden tulips black will definitely be restless.

What happened this morning is indeed just the beginning.

In this neon top party where big names from all walks of life gather, as detectives, they can be said to be at the bottom in terms of status.

Even though there were Detective Hakuba, the son of the police chief, and Hattori Heiji, the only son of the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and their respective fathers, Director Hakuba and Inspector Hattori, were also at the party.

But in the eyes of those big shots who stand at the absolute pinnacle of neon, it actually doesn't hold much weight.

When a detective gets into trouble, he meets guests who are victims, rich, wealthy, or both.

Getting angry, venting your anger, and then ordering Chun and Curie's receptionist to kick the person out is a very logical operation.

With round-the-clock surveillance throughout Chunheju, the elites responsible for party security will protect the safety of the guests as soon as possible.

But even without physical harm, the horror of such a near-miss can leave guests angry at the detectives who put them in this situation.

The more distinguished the guests, the more powerful they are, the more intolerable they are to detectives who may endanger their lives.

Take Naoichiro Iwazuki's incident of frightening his horse as an example. If you encounter a guest with a bad temper, it will basically not go well.

It could range from scolding someone and kicking him out, but it could range from scolding the person to someone else and kicking them out, but it could range from the other detectives, except for Detective Hakuba and Hattori Heiji, to being kicked out.

If someone has a deeper mind and doesn't show it on the face, he will also trick the Iwazuki brothers secretly. It is estimated that by then, even their detective careers will be ruined.

After Conan and Hattori Heiji each comforted their worried girlfriends, they also followed the topic raised by Haibara Ai and began to sort out the whole process of Iwazuki Naoichiro's frightened horse.

At the end of the topic, Hattori Heiji made the following exclamation in his Kansai accent:

"Perhaps the person behind the plot didn't expect that Karasuma Sonobu, who accidentally fell into this situation, didn't go as he had planned."

"No, it wasn't an accident."

Conan raised his glasses and said with certainty.

"The other party specifically selected Karasuma Sonobu as the victim of the horse-shock incident."

As the scene replayed in my mind a little bit, I realized that since Karasuma Sonobu appeared, I had used high-tech glasses to observe him at a glance, and witnessed the cause and consequences of the horse-shocking incident with my own eyes, so that I didn't miss anything.

Conan quickly locked on the answer and explained the basis of his reasoning in detail:

"As Baima said just now, as guests at this party, each of them is either rich or noble, so they all attach great importance to their own safety.

However, since one can reach this level, it does not matter whether it is nurtured from childhood or later.

In such an extremely important environment, every word and deed is watched by everyone, and may be noticed by the truly top figures at any time, thus affecting the development of the forces behind him in the future.

Ordinary guests would not openly get angry because of this, or directly blame Naoichiro Iwazuki, or even kick people out. "

Baima Tan, who had a deep understanding of this point, nodded and continued:

“After all, there is a very clear hierarchy between guests.

Even if their status is higher than that of detectives.

But in this case, in order to gain a good impression in the eyes of those big figures standing in the center of power, they will basically not show their anger easily, and even act domineeringly like driving people out. "

“So, if this strategy is to succeed, the identity of the innocent guest must be high enough, and his temper must be arrogant and domineering enough.

Only in this way can the expectations of the people behind the scenes be perfectly met. "

Kuroba Kaito snapped his fingers nimbly and took over the words just as Hakuba Tan finished speaking.

Hattori Heiji also instantly figured out the key points:

"As an extremely wealthy country, it can be said that he is the heir to the Karasuma Consortium that truly controls the lifeline of Neon's economy, and the eldest son of the Karasuma family, who has deep-rooted influence for thousands of years and has huge connections in all walks of life, including politics.

Even among the many guests with extraordinary identities, Karasuma Sonobu was undoubtedly one of the handful of people who truly stood at the pinnacle of power.

Moreover, in the few gossips about the temperament of the only son of the richest man, there is not a single word related to good temper. "

Hearing this, Toyama and Ye, who had always maintained a quiet posture, echoed:

"That's right, among the guests who were either in suits or formal kimonos, Karasuma Sonobu was the only one who dressed very casually and didn't take this party seriously.

At a glance, you can tell that this person has an unruly temperament, doesn't like to be restrained, and hates people who go to such well-behaved upper-class gatherings. "

"Huh? How did you come to these conclusions, Kazuye, from the way he was dressed? Even though he was dressed casually, wasn't he wearing a trendy brand?"

Based on Karasuma Sonobu's identity, the most we can say is that he is a maverick. How can you tell that she doesn't pay attention to this party, or even has a disgusting attitude?

Hattori Heiji scratched his head and looked at his girlfriend next to him in confusion.

Toyama Kazuye had a proud expression on his face and explained with a smile:

“Although the clothes Karasuma Sonobu is wearing are from top luxury fashion brands, they are not this year’s latest styles.

In his capacity, representing the Karasuma family to attend such an occasion, not to mention formal attire, at least it must be customized.

Wearing last year's style, it's obvious that you don't take this party seriously and do it on purpose. "

No matter how you look at this attitude, you can only hate this explanation.

When Karasuma Sonobu walked through the main gate and chose to walk on the bluestone road in the middle of the wide lawn instead of taking a small sightseeing car, Toyama Kazuha was also nearby.

It's just that when the scary horse incident happened, she didn't crowd around Karasuma Sonobu like Conan did.

Instead, the crowd that gradually gathered as the incident occurred, five meters away from Karasuma Sonobu, watched for a while.

She knew a lot about trendy clothing, and after taking a few glances, she recognized that Karasuma Sonobu was wearing the ridiculously expensive casual suit from last year's Men's Clothing Magazine.

Although I didn't see at the time whether the black jacket Karasuma Sonobu put on his elbow was the same as the suit jacket that belonged to the same set in the magazine.

But Toyama Kazuha recognized the brand LOGO outlined with black silk thread on the chest of Karasuma Sonobu's burgundy casual shirt.

There is also the brand LOGO outlined with burgundy silk thread on the black trousers, and the burgundy laces on the black sneakers, which are exactly the same as the suit pictures in the magazine.

To support her argument, Toyama Kazuye took out her mobile phone and found the picture of the suit she saw in a magazine last year from the official website of the top luxury fashion brand.

Conan leaned over to take a look, nodded, and confirmed Toyama and Ye's uncertain question:

"It's exactly the same as the one worn by Karasuma Sonobu, including the jacket."

Conan, who had had close contact with Karasuma Sonobu in the morning, saw the black jacket hanging on Karasuma Sonobu's arm. The hem was also embroidered with the same LOGO using burgundy silk thread.

“From the moment he entered Haruwa Residence, Karasuma Sonobu exuded a very conspicuous and violent aura, and the people behind the scenes clearly recognized his identity.

That's why he became an innocent victim in the horse scare incident.

Naoichiro Iwazuki and Quichiro Iwazuki were the people behind the scenes who first selected the victim and then decided on the target. "

That's why all of this happened by chance.

But the only thing the people behind the scenes failed to predict was that Karasuma Sonobu, who appeared to be very irritable, was actually Whiskey who was proficient in reasoning and good at all kinds of conspiracies and calculations.

I'm afraid he had already deduced this, so he easily let the two Iwazuki brothers go. Moreover, he should have also figured out that the person behind the scenes must have an insider in the group of receptionists from Wuhe Co., Ltd.

Thinking of this, Conan began to wonder.

Why would Karasuma Sonobu send people to investigate in such a big way even though he knew that there was a real culprit behind the scenes among those receptionists, and even exposed the manpower planted by the Karasuma family in Wuhe Co., Ltd.?

With the joint reasoning of four detectives, a phantom thief, and three beautiful girls with both beauty and intelligence, Conan has been able to confirm that there are people from the Karasuma family in Wuhe Co., Ltd.

Not only that, there should not only be people from the Karasuma family, but also some people who are at the pinnacle of power.

After all, it was a place used by them for private gatherings. How could it be casually handed over to Wuhe Co., Ltd. for so many years without any arrangements.

Karasuma Sonobu kept the Karasuma family's manpower in plain sight, was he avoiding suspicion, or was he giving him a subtle hint of something else?

Thinking about the files on the suicide case of Kenya Hatoyama that have not yet been received, Conan feels more and more that this commission is full of mystery and confusion.

The tulip invitation, the man who dyed the tulips black, the horse scare, and the attitude revealed by the whiskey.

Next, the murderer should continue to attack the detectives, but now they can't even draw a range of suspects.

Thinking that there were at least fifty guests in Chunhe Garden, Conan suddenly felt like he had no idea where to start.

But looking at the like-minded companions around him, Conan did not feel depressed, but instead gained unlimited confidence.

On the other side, Karasuma Sonobu looked up at the receptionist in front of him after reading the report handed in his hand.

As one of the people employed by the Karasuma family in Gogo Co., Ltd., the young receptionist with chestnut hair was very respectfully waiting for Karasuma Sonobu's next instructions.

Putting the report back on the bench at hand, half leaning against the fence, Karasuma Sonobu returned his gaze to the three-story attic built not far away in the middle of the lake, and asked calmly:

"The investigation concluded that it was an accident. Do you think it was an accident?"

"of course not."

Kuyamaho replied without thinking.

The usually obedient horse suddenly went crazy and rushed towards Master Karasuma. How could this be just an accident?

Kuyamaho, who originally thought that Karasuma Sonobu was going to ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly, waited for a while but did not hear the order.

He looked up at Karasuma Sonobu with some surprise, but his eyes met with Karasuma Sonobu's.

Jiu Shanbo suddenly lowered his head and immediately knelt down to apologize.

Karasuma Sonobu did not blame him, but ignored the matter and asked an unrelated question.

"In the auction on the third night, do we have anyone who can access the auction items before the auction starts?"
