Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

After chatting for a few words as if they had met by chance, Hiroyuki Muto left here on his clogs, escorted by several guards behind him.

After sending away the deputy prime minister, the country's top figure, the fearful Kuroba Kaito looked at Karasuma Sonobu with great vigilance.

Karasuma Sonobu, who had achieved his goal, did not continue to tease Kuroba Kaito. He shook the signature pad in his hand at him and then said:

"I won't disturb the detective's investigation. I hope you can find out the truth soon. Take your leave."

After saying that, Karasuma Sonobu and the receptionist behind him passed by Kuroba Kaito, and then walked further and further away.

Quickly moving to the shade of a tree, Kuroba Kaito breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that no one was staring at him.

Immediately afterwards, after breaking free from the fear of meeting Karasuma Sonobu alone, Kuroba Kaito realized something belatedly. He seemed to be used as a tool by Karasuma Sonobu.

What is his purpose, Deputy Prime Minister Hiroyuki Muto?

Wait, Hiroko Muto?

A total of five people were involved in the information file on Hatoyama Kenya's suicide case.

They are the dead Congressman Akira Ishida, the current president of Nagasawa Co., Ltd. Yuta Nagasawa who Heiji Hattori visited, Hideo Akanishi, the head of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters who Hakuba visited for tea, and Ueno who died of illness six months ago. Shotaro.

And this last one is Hiromu Muto, who is now the deputy prime minister and has been claiming to be recuperating due to illness, but actually looks very healthy.

When Kuroba Kaito returned to the house, no one else was in the living room on the first floor except Mao Lilan.

Seeing that the three-day period was approaching, the detectives, including Mouri Kogoro, who had already sensed the imminent crisis from the two murder cases that occurred last night, began to engage in frequent activities.

It wasn't until the receptionists in charge of Chunhe Junei's catering delivered today's noon meals that Conan and others came back one after another from outside.

Looking at the exquisite food in front of them, the detectives, who had no interest in tasting it at all, quickly finished their lunch and then began to sit around and discuss the intelligence materials they had discovered this morning.

After Conan and others obtained the file information on Hatoyama Kenya's suicide case, they finally understood why the case was sealed and sealed in the first place, even by the police, who have always been above ordinary rules and are good at various illegal operations. taboo.

A member of Congress, the leader of a financial group, the top leader of the Hokkaido police, the head of an aristocratic family, and the deputy prime minister who stands at the top of neon politics.

Each of the five people involved in the case is a big shot with a big name. If they join forces, not only to shake the entire Neon, but at least to create a huge wave in the entire upper class circle, there is no problem.

It is precisely for this reason that as soon as the suicide case of Kenya Hatoyama occurred, the police immediately blocked many information from the outside world.

From the discovery of the case to the conclusion of the investigation, it only took three days.

And after the case is closed, the relevant information is sealed and stored in the core database of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Even if something like this happened, everyone familiar with it still kept it secret.

If Detective Baima hadn't persuaded his father, Director Baima, they might still have difficulty knowing the contents.

Now, with Representative Ishida dead and Shotaro Ueno passing away due to illness half a year ago, there are only three people left who are related to the suicide case of Kenya Hatoyama.

But these three people have higher status and more power than the last. It is undoubtedly a very challenging thing to find out the truth.

At this moment, the afternoon sun is radiating its own light and heat unscrupulously.

Looking at the cold fruit plate that the receptionist brought after taking away the plates, Mao Lilan sat with Yuan Shan and Ye and listened to the discussion of Conan and others not far away. She was a little confused as to why Haibara Ai had been out for so long. Are you coming back now?

The place where Conan and others live now is a three-story Japanese-style house.

Because they were familiar with each other, Conan, Hattori Heiji, Hakuba Tan, and Mori Kogoro, together with their respective assistants, chose this Japanese-style house when allocating their residences.

The two Iwazuki brothers, the other three detectives, and their respective assistants chose the Japanese-style house opposite.

Since coming here, Hui Yuan Ai hasn't been out much.

If Xiaolan hadn't noticed that she had been doing experiments in the underground laboratory opened for her by Dr. Ali in recent months, and kept urging her to go out more often, Haibara Ai would not have planned to participate in this event. In the party.

Haibara Ai had no interest at all in this kind of meeting that was disguised as a party but was actually a group of top predators sitting together to discuss the division of their respective territories.

The reason why she agreed to come was because she couldn't bear the same worried look when Mao Lilan looked at her as her sister in the memory, as well as the persuasion of Conan, Akai Shuichi and others, and the invitation of Hakuba.

After coming here, Hui Yuan Ai either stayed in the house or walked around. He had never been away for such a long time without coming back.

Although Mao Lilan was a little worried, Huihara Ai told her before going out that she wanted to go somewhere farther away to relax.

By the way, help Conan look for any relevant clues, and will come back later.

Therefore, Mao Lilan was not too worried.

I just wonder why Haiyuan Ai was out for such a long time this time, and there is no sign of coming back at this time.

In a bush far away from the house where the detectives were, Haiyuan Ai, who was wearing a khaki sports-style summer dress, huddled there with her hands and knees, nervously listening to the footsteps not far away.

The footsteps were so light that if Hui Yuan Ai hadn't seen them with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that they were the footsteps of an adult man weighing at least 150 kilograms.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Haiyuan Ai touched something in the pocket of his overalls and quickly changed the expression on his face.

Last night, Huihara Ai, Baima Tan and others went to the scene where Yuanchi Kuro was killed.

At that time, Haihara Ai didn't notice anything was wrong.

However, after returning to the room and smelling the faint aroma in the room, Haihara Ai immediately focused her attention on the scented candle located in the corner of the room.

Unlike detectives like Conan and Hattori Heiji who are not interested in the exquisite furnishings in the house and stay away from things like scented candles, Haibara Ai is very familiar with this scented candle and accepts it well.

Geniuses such as Miyano Shiho, who were still trained by the organization and studied abroad in Berry Country, would also suffer from insomnia under the dual pressure of study and environment.

Usually at this time, she would use some aromatherapy that has an elegant and gentle scent that helps her sleep.

And when she returned from studying abroad and participated in the scientific research experiments of the organization, she was like a flower on the high mountain during the day, and she was able to handle the experiments at hand with ease. The indifferent Shirley was often awakened by nightmares at night at first.

In the dream, the miserable experimental subjects were desperately struggling and wailing, and countless curses and cries kept echoing in their minds.

Later, she studied some psychology books on her own and began to self-guide. With the help of scented candles, this situation gradually disappeared.

On the first night after arriving here, after seeing the scented candles placed in the corner of the room, Haihara Ai lit the scented candles.

Therefore, she knew that the scented candles in her house had a very light jasmine scent.

However, what she smelled in the room where Yuan Chikuro was killed was not this kind of fragrance.

Therefore, Haiyuan Ai, who had thoughts in mind, proposed to go out for a walk this morning.

In fact, he secretly went to the Japanese-style house opposite.

After Haraike Kuro was killed, the Japanese-style house where the crime occurred became vacant due to the murder. Four detectives, including Quichiro Iwazuki, moved to the Japanese-style house next door to Conan and others.

After entering the house and arriving at the scene where Yuan Chikuro was killed, there was no fragrance in the air. Yuan Chikuro's body and the incense that had been placed next to Yuan Chikuro's body were no longer where they were.

However, Haihara Ai remembered the location where the scented candle was placed, so she followed the original location and groped around with her hands. Sure enough, behind a corner of the table, she found a piece of scented candle that was not even the size of a fingertip. Candle crumbs.

When you get closer and smell it, you can see the faint scent of roses.

And, there are some other things mixed in.

Haihara Ai, who is very sensitive to smells, was about to put away the crumbs. Then, just as she was about to leave, she looked up and saw a few tiny words written with charcoal on the bottom of the table.

Haibara Ai's mind quickly recalled a characteristic description about Haraike Kuro.

It is said that Haraike Kuro, who has always loved to be cool, got the nickname Miracle Kuro, which is full of love and girly fantasy. In addition to often saving hostages and victims from fire and water, he also carries charcoal pencils and drawing books with him.

After rescuing hostages and victims, when he encountered frightened women and young children, he would use the charcoal pencils and drawing books in his hands to draw some simple, warm and lovely sketches to comfort the hostages and victims. people.

Therefore, although the nickname Miracle Kuro has only been around for two years, he can now be said to be the most famous detective in the detective world.

When the sleeping Kogoro gradually disappeared, Miracle Kuro's reputation resounded throughout Neon at lightning speed, with a number of fans that rivaled that of Kaitou Kidd.

Realizing that this was the clue left by Kuro Haraike, Haihara Ai quickly memorized the clue, then thought for a moment, and wiped the clue clean with the wipes in his pocket.

If she can find out, there's no guarantee that the murderer will also realize it.

After wiping, Haihara Ai followed the clues left by Yuanchi Kuro and took out a neatly folded piece of paper from a crack in his bedroom bed board.

Suddenly, a rhythmic "ta-da" sound interrupted Hui Yuan Ai's movements. Hai Yuan Ai, who originally wanted to open it and read the contents, subconsciously hid behind a tall green plant.

Holding her breath, and using the cover of green plants, Haihara Ai saw a tall man wearing a kimono, wooden geta, and a golden tulip badge on his chest walking past the door.

Because she was afraid of being discovered, Haihara Ai did not raise her gaze to look at the tall man's face. Instead, while the man was heading to the living room, he quietly climbed out of Yuanchi Kuro's bedroom window.

The bedroom where Haraikekuro lives is on the first floor. When choosing his own bedroom, Haraikekuro took into consideration his chubby cousin's assistant and directly chose the bedroom on the first floor.

This also made it easier for Haiyuan Ai to climb out of the window.

However, just when Haibara Ai wanted to use the detective badge to contact Conan and tell him what was going on here, she suddenly discovered that the detective badge that she had taped to the buckle of her suspender had disappeared at some point.

Huihara Ai, who had a bad feeling, immediately ran towards his residence.

Then he saw a tall man wearing a kimono walking past the window where Mao Lilan was standing.

Seeing the tall man walking in the direction of Mao Lilan, and even seeing the man hiding behind him, Haihara Ai immediately picked up the stones at hand and threw them at him.

Then run away.

When the tall man turned around, there was no one behind him.

However, the tall man turned around and chased after him.

But before chasing him out, the tall man made another phone call.

the other side,

The professionals responsible for the autopsy handed over two copies of the autopsy reports of Kuro Haraike and the three of them to Masahiko Sanada and Yuya Kazami respectively.

After seeing the line in the autopsy report that said toner material was extracted from Haraikekuro's fingertips, Sanada Masahiko immediately ordered Kenji Hagihara, who was on duty and was off duty, to take people to Haraikekuro's residence to check.

Kazami Yuya ordered people to quickly retrieve the surveillance video around the house.

For the privacy of guests, no surveillance cameras are installed inside any residence where guest detectives live.

However, full coverage surveillance was installed outside the house.

It's just that the place where Representative Ishida died was under the shade of a tree with extremely poor lighting. There wasn't even a light in that area.

Nothing could be seen but darkness.

Therefore, the police did not get any effective clues.

Although the public security and police officers who realized that Kuro Haraike had left clues with charcoal before his death took action immediately, they were still a step too late.

While Conan and others were sitting around discussing the clues they had collected, Kenji Hagihara led people to the death scene of Kuro Haraike.

Even without the debris of the scented candle as an inducement, Kenji Hagihara successfully deduced that Kuro Haraike left clues under a wooden table not far from where he died.

However, looking at the bottom of the turned-over wooden table, there was only a faint trace of toner left, and Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but sigh:

Still a step too late.

On the other side, Kazami Yuya also encountered Waterloo.

"What? The surveillance is broken?"

Looking at the reporter in front of him, Yuya Fengjian was briefly shocked and realized that there must be something wrong here.

Then, he immediately dialed Masahiko Sanada's phone number, and then got the news from Masahiko Hagihara that Kenji Hagihara and his people had failed.

At the same time, Hagiwara Kenji, who had come to nothing, led his colleagues and knocked on the door of the Japanese house where Conan and others were staying.
