Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

However, to some people, these explanations are as ridiculous as a mouse that not only speaks nonsense in front of a cat but also seeks its own death.

Even though his true colors had been exposed a long time ago, he still thought he had hidden them well.

The black velvet pad that fell on the ground was put into a sealed evidence bag and was sent to a nearby hospital along with Inspector Megure.

Finally getting rid of that nightmare-like nausea, Matsuda Jinpei felt like he was alive again and sneered without hesitation:

“Yes, a few seconds is not enough time to do those things.

But if you just take the ring box out of the flower basket, that would be enough."

After Matsuda Jinpei finished speaking, Hagiwara Kenji glanced at the priest's robe with wide sleeves and sighed:

"Sleeves this wide, let alone one ring box, it's more than enough to hide ten."

As long as the speed is fast enough and the sleeves are used to cover it, not only a five-year-old girl but even an adult staring at it may not notice it.

Just like those world-renowned top magicians, even if they are being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, they can still perform a wonderful magic show in front of the public.

And precisely because the ring box did not fall out of the small flower basket, Xiao Meiya has always been in the state of believing that the ring box had never left the small flower basket.

And because the beautiful red rose petals and the box containing the red diamond ring are almost exactly the same red.

So when she saw the petals scattered on the ground being picked up by the priest, put into a small basket and handed back to her, young Mei Ya happily continued to walk around carrying the small basket.

"During this period, you have enough time to put the original red diamond ring into another poisonous box.

Finally, as long as I find a chance to pass by Miss Mei Ya or chat with her for a few words, the poisoned ring box will appear in her small flower basket without anyone noticing. "

The smile on the priest's face seemed to freeze as Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara reasoned.

The mother hugging her child suddenly said:

"Yes, I saw the priest talking to Mei Ya before the bride entered the venue."

The father next to him responded immediately.

"Yes, yes, I saw that too."

Parents can't help but care about their children.

Especially when the child is only five years old and is the couple's only daughter, one can't help but worry even if she is out of sight for a short while.

Mei Ya will be the flower girl at this wedding banquet, not only because she is of the right age and looks cute, but also because her parents are a well-known loving couple in the circle.

The couple grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and went all the way from school uniforms to wedding dresses.

The main purpose of today's wedding banquet is to announce the marriage between the Hojo family and the Aso family to others.

But both Hojo Yoshihito and Hojo Yoshimune hoped that their children would have happy marriages and harmonious relationships.

So not only did she personally take care of all the processes, but when selecting the flower girls, she also deliberately chose two children whose parents were loving and had happy families.

Meiya's parents had this precious baby eight years after their marriage, so even though they knew the child was safe nearby, they still couldn't help but pay attention to him.

The couple did not see Meiya fall, but they saw clearly the scene between the priest and Meiya before the bride entered.

"I also saw the priest adjusting Meiya's posture in holding the small flower basket."

Mei Ya's father thought about it and added another sentence.

"Meiya used to carry the small flower basket in her hands, but later she started to carry it on her wrist."

The truth of the case was about to be revealed, but the priest still did not show any nervousness on his face. Even when the police surrounded him, he asked in a calm and gentle tone:

“Having said so much, do you have any evidence?

Or do you policemen make convictions based on speculation?

Could it be that the housekeeper did all this?

The ring was kept by her most of the time, so she had many more opportunities than I did to tamper with it.

I was just helping a little girl out of kindness."

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

This man is too calm.

"Because if the housekeeper wanted to do something, she wouldn't have to switch the ring box.

Just like you said, she kept the ring for such a long time, if she really wanted to do something, she could just poison the original ring box."

Maori Kogoro's answer made the housekeeper look at him in surprise.

This person had previously said with certainty that she was the murderer, so why is he speaking up for her now?

Hagiwara Kenji followed up with the following words:

“I have seen the ring box. It is very similar to the other men’s ring box, but the bottom of the women’s ring box does not have the cherry blossom pattern printed on it.

I heard that the entire wedding banquet was organized by Mrs. Hojo. I guess this must be something Mrs. Hojo specifically requested when she ordered the wedding ring.

I don’t think the priest knew this when he changed the ring box.”

"Yes."

The housekeeper nodded.

Hearing this, the priest's expression did not change much, but his eyes darkened for a moment.

Matsuda Jinpei noticed this look and said in a cold voice:

"As for the evidence, maybe you were wearing gloves when you switched the ring box, so the police may not be able to detect your fingerprints on them, but they certainly can't detect the housekeeper's fingerprints on them.

After eliminating all the above, you are the most likely suspect."

After receiving a look from Kokunran, Hagiwara Kenji continued:

"So please cooperate with our investigation and go to the Metropolitan Police Department with us, Mr. Father."

You will be searched as soon as you leave the house, and if any evidence is found, you will be immediately handcuffed and taken to the detention center.

Conan, who was unaware of Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji's plans, thought that the police had not found conclusive evidence, so he hurriedly told his reasoning.

“Miya fell down after Karasuma-nii entered the main hall.

And Karasuma-nii said before that he entered the main hall between 11:20 and 25:."

As he said this, Conan looked at the priest with confidence.

"That is to say, Mr. Father, you only have a maximum of 10 minutes to complete the actions deduced by the police officers.

To accomplish all of this smoothly, one must not be discovered.

The priest probably put the gloves stained with poison and the original ring box on his body, intending to leave the scene directly under the pretext of finishing the work."

The smile on the priest's face stopped abruptly the second Conan finished speaking. He looked at Conan, who was not even as tall as his waist, and said calmly:

“I originally thought that all the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department were useless, but I didn’t expect that there were smart ones too.

What was even more unexpected was that the smartest one turned out to be an elementary school student."

Hearing the word "smartest", Conan was suddenly startled.

It's broken, and so is the whiskey.

Conan didn't dare to look back to see the expression on Karasuma Soshin's face at the moment, so he quickly picked up the strategy he had made before, put his hands on his hips, and said proudly:

"I am Edogawa Conan, the most famous elementary school detective in Beika Town, and my uncle is the famous detective Maori Kogoro.

I will become the world's number one detective in the future. If you can defeat me, you are yours-Ah~ It hurts~"

Kogoro Mouri hit Conan's head hard, interrupting Conan's speech and slowly retracting his fist.

Seeing Conan holding the freshly baked bun on his head, yelling and screaming, almost rolling on the ground and crying in pain, he said disdainfully:

"You bragging brat, you want to be the world's best detective. It's just luck that you got it right."

"I'm going to tell Sister Xiaolan that you hit me..."

Kogoro Mouri was not afraid at all, and even had time to straighten his suit.

Karasuma Soshin, who was standing in the distance and taking in the whole scene, watched Conan lie down on the ground and start rolling around the next moment, attracting countless eyes.

Suddenly he glanced at the priest.

Are we finally entering the official revenge phase? I hope the next show will be as exciting as he imagined.

Let him enjoy one more wonderful performance before returning to Ying Kingdom.

The priest did not notice the glance that Karasuma Soshin gave him.

He looked at the policemen surrounding him, calmly stretched out his hands, and allowed the police to handcuff him and lead him out of the main hall.

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara felt more and more that something was wrong, and even Kogoro Mori began to feel strange.

Conan, who was rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum, also noticed the calmness in the priest's eyes.

He did not know that Hojo Lianzong had previously received tricolor lilies and threatening letters, nor did he know that someone had replaced the thirty-two pots of freesias with lilies and buried black lilies underneath.

I don’t even know about the Thirty-two Murders.

But he knew that there must be something wrong with a prisoner who behaved so calmly after being caught by the police.

Poisoned... unconscious... sent to hospital...

Conan quickly recalled everything he knew about the case in his mind and jumped up from the ground.

He came to the side of Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji and said anxiously:

"Officer Matsuda, Officer Hagiwara, can you find a way to confirm Hojo Shuya's current situation?"

Matsuda Jinpei's pupils shrank slightly, Hagiwara Kenji's eyes flashed slightly, and they both quickly understood what Conan wanted to express.

As soon as Kenji Hagiwara took out his cell phone, he saw Yuya Kazami and his men bringing back the priest who had just been escorted out of the main hall door by the police and had not walked far.

The police officers who were originally responsible for bringing the priest back to the Metropolitan Police Department all had serious expressions.

Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Yuya Kazami walked anxiously towards the inner hall.

Not long after, Hojo Lianmune walked out from the inner hall with a stern expression, followed by Hojo Yoshihito with panic-stricken eyes and Sanada Masao with a worried look on his face.

Seeing the expressions of the few people, Matsuda Jinpei and the other two immediately realized that something had happened to Hojo Shuya.

The reason why the criminal deliberately gave Hojo Shuya this poison that would not immediately kill people was to make Hojo Shuya leave the Chizuru Mansion which was heavily guarded.

Then he took the opportunity to attack on the way and captured Hojo Shuya.

Things did develop just as Conan had previously speculated.

Hojo Lianzong and others showed such expressions because they heard from Kazami Yuya that Hojo Shuya was kidnapped along the way and now his whereabouts are missing.

Less than ten minutes after the car drove out, it encountered a pre-arranged chain car accident.

The entire process, from the car crash to the abduction of the person, took less than five minutes.

Except for Hojo Shuya, all the other accompanying personnel died at the hands of the kidnappers.

A gas tank pierced by a bullet and a lit match easily took the lives of those accompanying personnel.

When the police arrived, all that was left was a tragic car accident scene and a pile of unrecognizable charred remains.

Hojo Lianzong walked towards the priest who was brought in again and asked:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The priest looked at Hojo Lianzong with an undisguised smile on his face, but his words were cold and heartless.

"I just want to see your family destroyed and your life miserable."

"You want to take revenge on me like this because of the Thirty-two Color Murder Case fourteen years ago?"

In the distance, when Karasuma Soshin heard this familiar term, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, but there was no emotion in his eyes.

The priest's voice remained calm, but the smile on his face became brighter:

"That's right. You destroyed my club. Shouldn't I seek revenge on you?"

Conan was puzzled after learning the general details of the Thirty-two Color Murder Case from Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda.

Revenge for a murder club, what kind of antisocial personality disorder is this?

"But why did you come today?

In the past fourteen years, if you wanted revenge, you would have had countless opportunities. Why did you choose today?"

Hojo Lianzong's words seemed to bring back some bad memories for the priest.

His expression darkened instantly, and he changed the subject:

"Your grandson is in my hands now, and whether he will survive depends on you."

Hojo Lianzong was silent for a moment and said:

"Before that, I need to make sure Shuya is safe."

The priest did not refuse this request. Not only did his complexion instantly recover, but he also smiled:

"Can.

There is a card in the little girl's flower basket. Take it out. There is a website address inside. Find a computer and log in. Then you can see Hojo Shuya."

Mei Ya's mother looked in shock at the small flower basket in her daughter's hand, which she had not put down yet. She never expected that someone might have put other things in it.

Kenji Hagiwara and others did not expect that such an important clue was hidden in the small flower basket.

He took out a card of the same color as the rose petals from the innermost part of the small flower basket. When he turned it over, he saw a website address written on it.

Yuya Kazami quickly put the tablet computer that his subordinates found in place.

The group also moved from the side of the main hall to the empty lounge.

Karasuma Soshin had no intention of following, but when he was walking towards the inner hall on the other side, he was stopped by Hojo Yoshinori.

"I'm not a policeman, nor am I good at reasoning. I'm afraid I can't help you."

Faced with Hojo Lianmune's invitation, Karasuma Soshin naturally refused.

His eyes were fixed on Hojo Lianmune, filled with indifference and calmness.

Conan looked at Hojo Lianzong and Karasuma Soshin in doubt, and then heard Hojo Lianzong say:

"The Metropolitan Police Department held a special criminal meeting today and invited the heads of the criminal departments of various regions to attend."
