Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Due to the presence of other people around him, Conan did not directly ask Haibara Ai what happened when she was at Karasuma Sonobu's place, and whether the other party suspected her identity.

Instead, he tentatively said:

"Haihara, is it fun at Brother Karasuma's place?"

Haibara Ai, who understood the meaning of Conan's question, showed a shy and happy look, nodded slightly and said softly:

"It's fun. The fruits at Karasuma-nii's place are fresh and delicious."

Mao Lilan, who was still holding a fruit packaging box in her hand, looked at the three-layered and neatly arranged fruits in the transparent box after hearing this, and thought that there was indeed a richer variety of fruits than what was sent to them.

It looks almost as fresh as just picked from the tree.

Slightly relieved, Conan then asked in a low voice about the matter that everyone was currently concerned about:

"Officer Hagiwara found your detective badge behind the green plant beside Haraike Kuro's bedroom door. Did you find something there?"

Hui Yuan Ai nodded slightly, then patted the overalls pocket on his chest, indicating that we would wait until we got back, as there were too many people at the moment.

Not long after, the group arrived at the residence of Sanada Masahiko and others.

After entering the house, Haiyuan Ai took out the contents of his breast pocket.

Then how she discovered the problem with the scented candles, went to seek verification, and accidentally discovered the hints left by Yuanike Kuro.

After finding important clues, he was targeted by a tall man, and was finally rescued by Karasuma Sonobu. The whole story was told in detail.

Even though she had not witnessed it with her own eyes, Huihara Ai did not describe the hardships in the escape process in detail, but everyone present guessed that there must be many dangers involved.

Mao Lilan couldn't help but blame herself. She was in front of the window and saw the tall man, but she didn't notice anything strange about the tall man.

If she had noticed, would Xiao Ai not have to go through such a difficult escape?

Haihara Ai noticed Mao Lilan's mood, and immediately reached out and gently tugged on her sleeves. Then when Mao Lilan looked over, she showed a very warm smile.

Don't blame yourself, I'm fine.

At that time, Haiyuan Ai knew that as long as she shouted and ran towards that place, Sister Xiaolan standing in front of the window would definitely see her and she would definitely meet the tall man with a burly figure and a sharp weapon.

However, she didn't know if the man had a gun on him, and she didn't dare to gamble with sister Xiaolan's life, so Haihara Ai finally chose to draw the tall man's attention away, and face the battle alone that would most likely take her away. The pursuit of life.

In fact, the tall man actually had a pistol loaded with bullets and equipped with a silencer.

When Datehang found a pistol and several controlled knives from the tall man, everyone present could not help but gasp.

Therefore, when Mao Lilan showed remorse and concern, Haiyuan felt more grateful.

I am glad that I did not drag Xiaolan, who is regarded as my sister, into this danger.

On the low table, the piece of letterhead that Kuro Haraike had carefully folded and stored before his death was now lying flat in the center. After being photographed and circulated, everyone knew the contents of the piece of paper.

It was a threatening letter, a threatening letter sent to Representative Ishida by the person behind the scenes before this gathering.

“So, the person behind the scenes killed Haraike Kuro because they did not find the threatening letter from Representative Ishida.

The people who killed Kuro Haraike and Representative Ishida were not from two sides as we thought before, but from the same side. "

Combining the previously known clues and this last piece of the puzzle, Conan completed this reasoning performance with confidence.

Previously, everyone believed that the person who killed Kuro Haraike and the female receptionist belonged to the party that had a grudge against the client behind the scenes, while the person who killed Representative Ishida belonged to the party behind the client.

The two sides are using this to fight.

However, the appearance of this threatening letter completely overturned this conclusion.

After the morning's investigation, coupled with the body identification report information obtained from Takagi Wataru, Conan determined a fact.

Those were the two murders that happened last night. The person who died first was not Haraike Kuro and the female receptionist.

It was Representative Ishida who was later discovered by the Kyoto police.

At that time, because the cases occurred one after another, the time of death was also determined to be within half an hour.

Therefore, many people later thought that the murderer behind the real murder of Kenya Hatoyama sent someone to kill Kuro Haraike and the female receptionist first.

Then, after the client behind the scenes found out, they sent someone to retaliate and killed Representative Ishida, one of the suspects.

With the cooperation of Hakuba Detective, Hattori Heiji and other young talents with high IQs and strong reasoning abilities, they have discovered several things that are wrong in the data file on Hatoyama Kenya's suicide case.

Although it is not yet confirmed who the murderer is, at least the suicide conclusion about the cause of Hatoyama Kenya's death is definitely a wrong conclusion.

Therefore, early this morning, Hakuba Detective and Hattori Heiji searched for their respective fathers, and tried every means to have a meeting with the two people related to Hatoyama Kenya's suicide case.

Conan, on the other hand, became suspicious of the murderer who killed Representative Ishida first.

Why kill Representative Ishida first?

And why did Representative Ishida appear there alone that night.

According to the file, Kenya Hatoyama had meetings and contact with five people on the day of his suicide.

Before the incident that night, Inspector Akanishi, Director Hakuba, and several colleagues in the police system sat together for a chat.

Deputy Prime Minister Muto stayed at his residence, but President Nagasawa was relaxing alone by the lotus pond and enjoying the scenery.

If people were selected at random, President Nagasawa was in a more remote location at that time. Wouldn't it be more convenient to kill people and throw them into the lotus pond?

With these questions in mind, this morning, Conan and Kuroba Kaito went to the death scene of Representative Ishida to see if they could find any clues.

Then, as expected, the two of them discovered some clues.

Therefore, Kuroba Kaito, in the name of Kudo Shinichi, asked the very easy-to-deceive Takagi Wataru to ask the person responsible for the autopsy to confirm in detail the order of death of Representative Ishida, Haraike Kuro and the female receptionist.

Finally, when Conan and others took away Haibara Ai from Karasuma Sonobu's residence, they got an accurate answer.

Councilor Ishida died first, followed by Kuro Haraike and the female receptionist.

The murderer killed Representative Ishida, and then did not find the crucial threatening letter on Representative Ishida or near his residence, so he turned his attention to Kuro Haraike, who had been in contact with Representative Ishida.

Before entering Haruwa Residence, Councilor Ishida was extremely frightened after receiving a threatening letter. Before he learned that someone had commissioned several detectives to investigate the real culprit of Kenya Hatoyama's suicide case, he secretly contacted Kuro Haraike. .

The purpose was to let him find out who was sending him this threatening letter behind his back.

But Representative Ishida didn't expect that the client behind the scenes would be as discerning as him and would also find Kuro Haraike.

Therefore, Kuro Haraike, who received the dual commission, obtained the threatening letter from Representative Ishida before arriving at Haruwaju.

In addition, I also learned about the suicide case of Kenya Hatoyama from Representative Ishida.

In order to better hide themselves, after moving into Chunhe's house, the two of them had no contact with each other publicly and often communicated through mobile phone messages.

However, it was precisely because of this that when the murderer killed Representative Ishida but did not find a threatening letter from his body or residence, he discovered the connection between him and Kuro Haraike from Representative Ishida's mobile phone.

In the end, it led to the death of Haraike Kuro and the female receptionist.

Knowing the whole story, everyone's focus was naturally on the threatening letter that Hui Yuan Ai had worked so hard to retain.

However, Conan and others, who had read the contents of the threatening letter, did not find the reason why the people behind the scenes were so anxious to find the threatening letter even if they committed two murders.

The content of the letter was not much different from the threatening letters they had seen before. They were all threatening words.

The signature is the same as the commission letter received by Conan and others, and the surname Hatoyama is also written on it.

Could it be that this is an ordinary threatening letter?

Not to mention that Conan didn't believe it, even Sanada Masahiko didn't believe it.

If it was just an ordinary threatening letter, why would the people behind the scenes be so eager to send people to rob it?

If there is no important meaning, then why would the eldest brother specifically mention this to him.

Sanada Masahiko looked at the thin letter on the low table, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes:

"Since you can't see one threatening letter, look for a few more."

"Will this alert others?"

Realizing that Masahiko Sanada planned to send people to several other people to get the threatening letters sent to them by the client behind the scenes, Conan was shocked and asked quickly.

Looking at this very smart child, Sanada Masahiko looked at him seriously:

"Conan, we don't have much time. Who knows if the murderer behind the scenes will secretly attack the other people who got the threatening letters."

Tomorrow night guests will have a real party in the loft in the middle of the lake.

At that time, all the guests gathered together, but as police officers, they could only guard the second floor.

Once the murderer hiding among the guests and the client behind the scenes who still don't know where he is hiding suddenly take this opportunity to secretly murder, it may not be enough to put ten legs on them.

Moreover, who can guarantee that the confrontation between these two parties will not affect other guests.

Once it is affected and the guests are damaged, the entire neon will usher in a huge wave.

The most important thing is that instructions came from above that the party tomorrow night will be held as usual and cannot be temporarily canceled. As the police, they are still not allowed to enter the third floor.

Therefore, in order to make tomorrow night's party go smoothly, they must speed up the investigation.

For this reason, even if it alarms the people behind the scenes, he will not hesitate.

"What's more, our previous actions have already shocked the snake, and we don't care if we scare it again."

The white horse detective said so.

Thinking about the crisp arrests made by Officer Hagiwara and Date, Conan agreed with Detective Hakuba's statement.

Not long after, when the guests were preparing to enjoy dinner tonight, the police sent out by Masahiko Sanada came to the residences of President Nagasawa, Police Inspector Akanishi and Deputy Prime Minister Muto.

After explaining his intention, President Nagasawa readily handed over the threatening letter he received to Shiratori Rensaburo, and recited a few words about his friendship with Shiratori Rensaburo's father, which seemed to be very trusting.

Wataru Takagi, who was traveling with him, knew that his colleague Shiratori Rensaburo was a wealthy man, but he did not expect that he had such a relationship with the famous Nagasawa Consortium. For a moment, he looked at Shiratori Rensaburo with a very complicated expression.

"My father has some old friendship with President Nagasawa, that's all."

Shiratori Rensaburo explained.

Carefully putting away the threatening letter entrusted to him by President Nagasawa, Wataru Takagi showed worry on his face:

"I wonder if things are going well with Miwako."

That was the Deputy Prime Minister, a big shot who made his calves tremble just by looking at him.

It was naturally smooth for Sato Miwako.

After knowing the purpose of the other party's visit, Hiroyuki Muto was very accommodating and asked the guards waiting beside him to take the box containing the threatening letter and hand it to Miwako Sato.

However, Hiroko Muto did not meet with several people.

The afterglow of dusk shone on the chessboard in front of him. The white stones and black stones were in an anxious state. The chess game looked very dangerous.

However, when Hiroyuki Muto dropped the black stone in his hand to an inconspicuous position on the chessboard, the situation was reversed.

"Rather than sharing the same score, I still prefer to stand out."

In the quiet chess room, looking at the chess game in front of him, Hiroko Muto finished these words in a calm tone, and then put the chess pieces on the chess board into the chess jar one by one.

Compared with the two departments, Matsuda Jinpei, who was responsible for going to Akanishi Police Inspector to get the last threatening letter, was not so lucky.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, Matsuda Jinpei called to report the situation to Sanada Masahiko, while he and his colleagues began a preliminary investigation.

Police Inspector Akanishi, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, died in the fish pond behind the house. The blood gushing from the wound directly dyed the fish pond red.

After receiving the report, Masahiko Sanada immediately asked if he had found the threatening letter belonging to Police Inspector Akanishi, and naturally received a negative reply.

Matsuda Jinpei and his colleagues had already turned over Akanishi Police Inspector's residence and only had to dig three feet into the ground, but they still couldn't find the threatening letter.

It didn't take long for the news that Inspector Akanishi was killed in the fish pond at his residence to reach the ears of Director Hakuba, and then it was known to other colleagues in the same police system.

As night falls, Inspector Akanishi's house is brightly lit.

In the courtyard, all the senior police officers who were invited to participate in the party were present.

It was the first time to see so many senior police officers gathered together. The policemen responsible for investigating the case even straightened their backs more straightly than before.

It was another restless night.

Not long after Akanishi Police Inspector was killed, President Nagasawa, who had had a cordial exchange with Shiratori Rensaburo an hour ago, died suddenly after eating dinner, foaming at the mouth.
