Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Chapter 1169: First Escape from the Screen

Officer Otaki was very dissatisfied when he heard that Officer Ayanokouji had been at Nichimi TV but had not contacted them.

Officer Otaki complained, "I said you have been secretly observing our situation. You are so mean!"

Officer Ayanokouji apologized, "I'm really sorry, after all, I don't have any solid evidence yet."

Conan asked: "By the way, what is the relationship between Uncle Onda and Uncle Yonekura?"

Officer Ayanokouji answered, "Well, it is said that Mr. Onda and Mr. Yonekura once attended an independent film screening together, but Mr. Yonekura's name was not found in Mr. Onda's phone. The reason why I investigated Mr. Yonekura was because someone saw Mr. Yonekura near Mr. Onda's house."

The expressions of everyone present became very surprised.

Hattori Heiji said seriously: "So you went to investigate? And found out that they had crossed paths before? Let's not talk about what happened between Mr. Yonekura and Mr. Onda. Mr. Yonekura's car was planted with a bomb. It is very likely that in addition to Takauchi Takashi and Mihara Yoshito, there are other people who are targeting Mr. Yonekura."

Conan said, "By the way, there is one thing I have never figured out."

Officer Otaki asked, "What is it, Conan?"

Conan said: "I remember that at the scene where Uncle Yonekura was killed, there was a small knife mark on the top plate of the shelf. The murderer, Yoshito Mihara, accidentally lost the knife in his hand. But if that were the case, there would definitely be a sound, right? Why didn't Uncle Yonekura find it at the time?"

Officer Otaki scratched his head: "This question..."

Hattori Heiji stood up from the sofa and said, "If Mr. Yonekura had found someone on the shelf at that time, he would definitely have been able to avoid the falling monster."

Hattori Hanzo immediately said to Officer Otaki: "Otaki, go check it out right now!"

"Let's go too!"

Hattori Heiji and Conan followed Officer Otaki to meet Mihara Yoshito.

In the interrogation room, Officer Otaki and Hattori Heiji interrogated Yoshito Mihara.

Conan was outside the interrogation room, looking at what was happening inside through the glass.

Officer Otaki told Mihara Yoshito about the knife.

Yoshito Mihara lowered his head and said, "The knife, um, I dropped it. It made a loud noise and scared me. I thought he would find it."

Hattori Heiji asked, "Then Mr. Yonekura didn't notice you?"

Mihara Yoshito, who was very depressed at the time, answered every question: "No... I don't know why, he was staring at his phone motionlessly, and he kept saying "That Onda guy" several times with gritted teeth. I heard it clearly at the time."

Hattori Heiji confirmed, "Really? Did he really say Ondama?"

Mihara Yoshito clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, can you tell me? Is Takane really dead?"

"Ah."

"how so..."

Officer Otaki asked, "Was it just a coincidence that you two stole Mr. Yonekura's car?"

Mihara Yoshito replied, "Of course. Takane said he knew where Yonekura hid the spare key to the car, so we went to the parking lot. I heard there was a bomb in the car. Could it be that besides us, there are others who want to kill Yonekura?"

"We are still investigating."

Mihara Yoshito was a little frustrated and covered his face: "What is this? What on earth is what we are doing?"

Conan, Hattori Heiji and Officer Otaki left the interrogation room and came to Hattori Hanzo's office. They told Hattori Hanzo, Toyama Ginjiro and Officer Ayanokouji what they had just learned.

Hattori Heiji guessed, "I think Mr. Yonekura was looking at the news on the Internet on his phone in the prop room. After all, there were reports everywhere about a car falling off a cliff and catching fire in Kyoto."

Toyama Ginjiro said, "But this may just be a coincidence. He may be surprised to see someone he knows in trouble."

Conan said to Officer Otaki: "By the way, Officer Otaki, where are Mr. Yonekura's things?"

"It's in the staff lounge on the sixth floor."

"Can we see what's there then?"

Officer Otaki took out his cell phone: "We have packed his things..."

Officer Otaki scrolled through the photos on his phone and introduced: "The plane ticket to Bangkok, the passport, and six newspapers including a sports newspaper, all of which were from the day of the incident."

Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and frowned, "It's very suspicious. Mr. Yonekura might have bought so many newspapers because he wanted to know about Onda's accident."

Hattori Hanzo said in a deep voice: "It seems that we need to investigate again. Please help us."

Hattori Hanzo looked at Officer Ayanokouji standing beside him.

Officer Ayanokouji agreed, "I understand. I'll have the forensic personnel investigate Mr. Onda's car again."

"Well, please."

Hattori Heiji and Conan were walking in the corridor, both of them were silent, thinking about the case in their minds.

Suddenly, both of their cell phones rang.

After the calls were connected at the same time, the voices of Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha were heard.

"Hey! Conan (Heiji)! What are you doing? The filming has already started!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji's faces changed drastically: "Oh no, I completely forgot about it!"

Osaka Castle Park.

Conan and Hattori Heiji finally arrived after rushing.

A stage manager shouted with a loud speaker: "Listen carefully, everyone. Now we will start the rehearsal. Treat the top of the stick as the monster's head!"

Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were having an excited discussion.

Ayumi asked excitedly, "What expression should I put on to escape?"

Yuan Tai tilted his head, his eyes revealing clear stupidity: "Well, this, I don't know either."

Mitsuhiko suggested: "I don't think it's necessary to overthink it, just let it go."

Huibara smiled sadly and said, "That's right. After all, no one has ever been chased by a monster."

Kamiya Minazuki said sarcastically, "It's true that I've never been chased by a monster, but that's not necessarily the case for other things~"

Haibara Ai looked at Kamiya Minetsuki with dead fish eyes. She was now completely immune to this level of sarcasm.

The script supervisor pointed in a direction and said, "Everyone, run over there. How you run is up to you guys. But please don't play around or do anything weird that would attract attention."

Conan complained: "Really, this is quite troublesome."

Kamiya Minatsuki was also complaining: "Escape? I haven't escaped before. Am I going to give away my first escape on the screen here?"
