"Oh, brother Maori, you're finally here. I'm so sorry that I asked you to come and investigate. However, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I almost thought you wouldn't come."

"No way, it took me a lot of effort to get in. Hey, those reporters outside are really... But there's no way, that thief is too popular, so this happened, and it's still happening to this day. Can't find out..."

Before the words were finished, a series of gloomy, dark, fire-breathing gazes that did not contain friendly messages shot at someone in unison.

It's no wonder, even though it was a sunny afternoon, it is impossible for anyone to work day and night for two days without gaining anything, and yet they are still being chased by a group of inexplicable reporters and citizens to ask questions After not stopping, he can still maintain a calm posture like water.

Mori Kogoro swallowed, "Hehe, that, I mean those reporters are really meddling with dogs and mice, hehe, hehe..."

"Officer Megure, what is the result of the current investigation regarding the suicide of the two suspects?" Without wanting to waste any more time, Conan asked directly.

"You little devil, why do you want to follow..."

"Here, let's go in and talk..."

=================================================================== =========================

"You mean, these two suspects died of poison. And the poison was originally hidden in their clothes..."

Kogoro Mori listened to Officer Megure's narration, and his blank expression was obvious

"That's really strange. First of all, why did these two people choose to commit suicide? Second, why did they hide poison in their clothes beforehand? And most importantly, why did these two people deliberately choose yesterday's 7 ; 34 points to commit suicide, does that time have any special meaning to them?"

"Officer Megure," Conan's childish voice sounded in the room, "Did the two suspects behave abnormally before they died, or did they meet anyone?"

"About this, brother Maori, I want you to take a look at the pictures captured by the monitor at that time."

================================================== ==========

In the office of the Metropolitan Police Department, it was extremely quiet at this moment.An extremely dull atmosphere that artificially lowered the air pressure in the room, making it quite difficult to breathe.

Kogoro Mori was silent for a while before he slowly opened his mouth, "From the surveillance video, these two people should have committed suicide with the poison hidden in their sleeve buttons... and there were no other people in the interrogation room at that time." People... the possibility of being coerced is almost zero..... the only thing worth noting is that Officer Sato alone once entered the interrogation room, and less than 1 minute after she left, the two were dead …”

"Sato has been quarantined for review."

Officer Megure paused, and glanced at the notebook in his hand, "But I don't think she has anything to do with this incident. I don't believe that Officer Sato would force the prisoner to commit suicide. I think this should be just a coincidence in time."

"Why is there a quarantine review? I don't think it's necessary at all...According to surveillance video and audio recordings, Officer Sato didn't have any physical contact with these two people. Didn't even speak. Obviously, she couldn't implying or forcing the two to take poison."

"But the problem is that Sato insisted that he had never visited those two people at all, but because of the video evidence, such a statement became evidence against her."

"So, apart from being visited by Police Officer Sato, are there any details worth noting before they committed suicide?"

"The two suspects don't have any special behavior. But there is one thing that is very strange."

"what's up?"

"Officer Takagi said that he seemed to have seen two Sato officers in the Metropolitan Police Department at the time. However, when asked about the specific situation, he couldn't explain clearly. Really, I don't know if Takagi was dazzled... ...."

"Two?" A thought quickly flashed through Conan's mind, "Could it be?"

"I understand!"

"Ah? Brother Maori, what do you understand?"

"I understand who suggested that the two suspects chose suicide"

"Ah! What are you talking about!" Police Officer Mu Mu looked surprised.

"The answer is, Kaitou Kidd!"

"..." Conan's mouth twitched, "Hey, hey... Please, he is lying on the bed now, and he can't even stand up... Besides, there is only one Kaitou Kidd assistant....'

"If my reasoning is correct, those two people should be Kidd's assistants, and after Kidd learned that they were arrested, in order not to reveal his identity, he pretended to be Officer Sato and sneaked into the Metropolitan Police Department , asked two of his subordinates to commit suicide. That’s why Officer Takagi saw two Sato. This is the only explanation, because in this world, only Kidd can freely disguise himself as other people.”

'You are wrong, Kidd is not the only one...there is one other person who can do it, and if my reasoning is correct, I am afraid she is the one who actually pretended to be Officer Sato...But the problem yes.....'

Although Police Officer Megure didn't know what Conan was thinking at this time, he had the same question as him, "It makes sense in theory, but the problem is, I heard that Kidd never kills... Besides Now, even if he pretended to be Sato, how did he manage to make two of his men commit suicide?"

"...Well...according to my guess... Kidd probably used some secret words, such as hand gestures or other body language." Mori Kogoro continued with a serious face Inference "After all, he is a thief. For the convenience of his actions, there may be some self-created ways of communicating with his assistants..."

"It's indeed possible, why didn't I think of it... You really deserve to be a famous sleeping detective! Brother Maori, I'm really admiring you more and more!"

"Hahahaha! Of course, if there are any problems that can't be solved in the future, just call my detective Mori Kogoro, and I will guarantee that the cure will be cured, hahahaha!"

"What kind of code word is that?" Conan's crisp childish voice interrupted someone's smug laughter. "I mean, what kind of gesture, or physical movement?"

"Ah, this... Of course Kidd has his own way... He is the Yasen Luoping of the Heisei era, and of course this little thing can't trouble him."

"Oh, that's it, I understand. Uncle means, as long as we watch the video again, we can find out Kidd's code words!" Conan asked sincerely with an innocent face.

"Huh? Um...that's right...well, it's like this..."

Kidd's code words are impossible, but maybe Belmode will really use such a method.After all, she and those two people are from an organization with a strict system, maybe there is really some kind of communication method between them that we don't know, maybe. '

The video tape was played again, and since the video was silent, the room fell into an unusual silence again.So much so that even the voices of the three people seemed extraordinarily clear at this time.

"stop!"

"Hey, you brat, what are you doing!"

Completely ignoring Uncle Mori's accusation, Conan unceremoniously issued an order, "Let's go a little further!"

"Okay, here?"

"You little bastard!"

"This is it! Stop!" Conan leaned forward, letting Mori Kogoro's fist fly away, "That, Bell...I mean the white one that was pressed under the hand of Officer Sato on the table. What is it, a note?.....What seems to be written on it?"

"Indeed! That's right, it's a note!" Officer Meguro exclaimed excitedly.

"Hurry up, zoom in quickly, and see what's written on it!" Xiao Wulang also got motivated all of a sudden, his eyes fixed on the screen in a daze.

Soon, with a simple remote control operation by Police Officer Mu Mu, the note on the monitor screen was magnified several times and appeared in front of the eyes of the three people.Due to the pixels, the zoomed-in picture is not clear, but the handwriting on the note is still vaguely legible.

"It's suppressed, I can't see clearly, the exposed part... seems to be English letters!" Kogoro squinted his eyes, and his whole head was almost attached to the screen.

Officer Mumu took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and struggled to identify it, "That's right, three letters, it seems to be..."

Conan's expression, hidden behind his reflective eyes, made it impossible to see whether he was happy or sad, and he pronounced the three letters clearly with a trembling voice

"FBI!!!"

"Yes! It's these three words!"

"FBI? The one in the United States, is Kidd an agent of the FBI?"

"Brother Maori, are you kidding me? How could the FBI find a thief as a spy? It's illogical! Besides, where did such an arrogant spy come from..."

"Then what are you talking about? This is the only possibility!"

"...Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, we can only see these three letters, and the rest can't be seen clearly because of the angle of the monitor...I think it may be something else word......"

"Other words, what is that... I really don't understand..."

'No, not any other word, FBI is the message Belmode wanted to convey to his companions.She was telling her companions that they were about to be taken to the FBI and asked them to commit suicide for the safety of the organization. '

In the chaotic brain, there is only a ball of twine left. Since I can't find the knot, it becomes more and more chaotic

'But how could it be? , I only told the FBI about this a few hours ago and asked them... How could the people in the black organization know about this? At the current stage of the matter, it should be obvious that only the top Japanese police and the FBI know...why it was leaked...is the intelligence personnel of the organization have some special means... Or....'

A thought that shouldn't have appeared abruptly crossed my mind, like a cold and sharp steel needle as thin as a cow's hair, mercilessly piercing through fragile nerves, instantly making people fall into hell.

'There are traitors in the Japanese police or FBI...! ! ! ?'
