Although we still don’t know how Hiroko Muto plans to kill them here, quite a few guests are really very scared.

Therefore, after Hiroko Muto announced that he would give them five minutes to think about it, many people expressed their intention to hand over Eri Hatoyama.

At that time, there were still some high-sounding reasons on the surface.

Sanada Masahiko frowned slightly, but at this moment, the top police officials were basically present, and it was not his turn to make a decision.

While the others were trying their best to discuss how to make a decision, Yokoyama Taku was a little absent-minded and frequently looked in one direction.

Karasuma Sonobu, who noticed this sight and knew who it came from, did not respond, but met Conan's gaze as he climbed on the window.

Conan's eyes lit up and he rushed to Karasuma Sonobu's side like a fish.

"Brother Karasuma."

With a cute smile on his face, Conan told Karasuma Sonobu about the white phosphorus when he squatted down in cooperation, and then tentatively asked Karasuma Sonobu if he had any solution.

Hearing the temptation hidden in Conan's words, Karasuma Sonobu's face showed a look of confusion at the right time, and he was indeed confused by this in his heart.

According to the intelligence obtained by these people, it should be clear that they are on opposite sides of each other.

Why would you ask him for help so naturally?

Could it be that the previous visit to the Sky Shopping Plaza gave them the illusion that he was very easy to talk to?

Facing the sincerity in Conan's eyes, Karasuma Sonobu shook his head slightly after doubting:

"This is the first time I've heard of such a dangerous thing. I'm sorry that I can't help you."

Watching Conan leave with a disappointed look on his face, Karasuma Sonobu stood up, his expression as indifferent as ever.

The five minutes ended in the blink of an eye. Hiroko Muto waited quietly for the person on the other side to tell him the choice he wanted, and the other side did not disappoint his waiting.

Looking at Hatoyama Eri, who was slowly walking towards him and "volunteered to die", and the memory card in her hand.

Hiroko Muto first snatched the memory card and broke it in half, then looked at Hatoyama Eri and took the short knife handed over by the receptionist behind him.

The revenge she longed for turned into a joke. Hatoyama Eri was not thinking about anything at the moment. She looked at Hiroko Muto who was walking towards her and was about to take her life, and said softly:

"sorry."

This belated apology did not shake Hiroko Muto's murderous intention.

Looking at Eri Hatoyama, who showed no intention of resisting, what came to his mind was his only son who was unwilling to die of illness, his lover who had been bedridden for many years, and his daughter-in-law who always hugged dolls and softly called her grandson's nickname.

When the faintly fragrant blood candle and the photo of the sacrifice list with his grandson's name flashed through his mind, Hiroko Muto slowly raised his dagger.

"click"

At this critical moment, the power system in the attic seemed to be affected by lightning outside the window, and the lights on the third floor suddenly went out.

good chance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Conan, with the help of high-tech glasses, aimed at Hiroko Muto's neck and pressed the mechanism that fired the anesthesia needle while Hiroko Muto was swinging his knife.

When the lights came on again, everyone saw Hiroko Muto lying on the ground unconscious.

Seeing their boss fall and holding the guests hostage, the receptionists naturally had no reason to continue.

When they learned that the attic was filled with white phosphorus, the receptionists who cared about their lives quickly put down their weapons after being persuaded by the police to surrender.

At the same time, the guests who knew about this were unwilling to stay in this dangerous attic any longer. Even though the rain outside did not stop at all, they all expressed their intention to leave here.

With a wink at Kuyamaho behind him, Karasuma Sonobu immediately merged into the descending guests, and soon arrived at the rain-soaked corridor outside the attic first floor.

As they passed each other, Hattori Heizo paused, then turned his head and glanced at Karasuma Sonobu, who was the only figure left behind.

The biggest crisis has been resolved, and Conan can't help but worry about Xiaolan and the others again.

But now the wooden bridge across the lake has been destroyed. The lifesaving personnel and equipment originally deployed on the lake were nowhere to be seen.

In such thundery weather, even if flying equipment such as helicopters dared to fly, few guests would dare to risk being struck by lightning.

Therefore, no matter how anxious Conan was, he could only wait for the police outside the lake to quickly resolve the crisis elsewhere and come to rescue them with life-saving equipment.

Guests were scattered in twos and threes on the circular corridor built around the attic. At this moment, even the most utilitarian guests rarely calmed down to discuss other matters.

Of course, this does not include those at the top of the neon.

At this moment, a small core circle surrounded by Ichihara Yoshi and five other people were racing against time in a pavilion extending out of a circular corridor to discuss how to divide the interests after Hiroko Muto's death.

The voices of the several people discussing were so low that even the receptionists standing outside the pavilion could not hear clearly under the cover of thunder, lightning and rain.

The guests who saw this scene retreated one after another and stayed away from this place with great self-knowledge.

As one of the five people, Karasuma Sonobu did not say a word as before, but participated in the rainy night talks.

The dim light fell from the top of the pavilion, and the rain falling in the wind quickly wet the corners of his clothes. Karasuma Sonobu lightly held Haori, showing the attitude of the Karasuma family unhurriedly.

A trace of surprise quickly flashed across Ichihara Yoshi's eyes, and Kenji Hiramiya, the head of the Defense Agency, raised questions unceremoniously.

"Please don't worry. Since I'm standing here, my words can naturally represent the entire Karasuma family."

As he spoke, Karasuma Sonobu turned over the blessing fan in his hand. Even in the dim light, the other people saw the jade product hanging at the end of the blessing fan. They thought it was a fan pendant. A detailed crest of the Karasuma family.

Everyone recognized it, it was the seal of the head of the Karasuma family.

"This is a token that my father entrusted to me before I left."

After explaining, Karasuma Sonobu turned the fan over again, and the seal representing the head of the Karasuma family hung down again, turning into a small fan pendant.

With the evidence of this token, Kenji Hiramiya no longer despised Karasuma Sonobu and regarded him as a junior who came to observe and learn, but actually put him at the seat of the negotiation table.

The other people, including Ichihara Yoshi, also clearly realized this.

After more than twenty minutes of conversation, Karasuma Sonobu stepped on the bottom line of the others without giving in, and obtained extremely generous benefits for the Karasuma family.

Seeing the abilities of the heir trained by Renya Karasuma, Kenji Hiramiya and others couldn't help but sigh:

The Karasuma family really has a successor.

And Ichihara Yoshi, who knew Karasuma Sonobu's identity and past, looked at Karasuma Sonobu's leaving figure and finally understood why Karasuma Renye put him in this position.

It seems that the person in charge of the Karasuma Consortium will change his name soon.

After leaving the pavilion, Karasuma Sonobu found a small corner in the circular corridor. Under the protection of several Karasuma family members behind him, he looked indifferently at the lightning, thunder and wind and rain outside the corridor.

A small mechanical bee was firmly grasping the cuff of the kimono under the feather fabric.

Things will evolve to this point. In fact, there are already signs.

Ichihara Yoshi learned that Muto Hiroshi's grandson, who had been missing for many years, died of an evil act caused by the Hatoyama family.

From the beginning, the person who acted as prime minister was not Deputy Prime Minister Hiroyuki Muto, but Ichihara Yoshitoki.

The Chitose Jade, which was not supposed to appear in tonight's auction, became the last item to be auctioned tonight.

Hiroko Muto's failure was already a doomed outcome.
