The strongest illusionist is a pineapple head

After listening to Liu Daomui's words, the butler went to find Haikouda in the men's room closest to the banquet hall.

As the host of today's banquet, Haikouda will take the stage to thank all the guests in a while. Seeing that the time is getting late, some guests will leave if it doesn't start.

Conan looked at the butler's back, thoughtfully.

"Sister Lan——" Conan pulled Maolilan's hand.

"What's wrong, Conan-kun?"

Conan covered a certain part with his hands, and stomped back and forth anxiously: "It seems that I drank too much juice just now, I want to pee..."

"This..." Mao Lilan was not familiar with this place, she looked around, "I'll take you to find the toilet."

"No need." Conan seemed afraid that Mao Lilan would follow, and ran away while talking, "I'll just go with the housekeeper grandfather."

When Conan left the banquet hall to ensure that Mao Lilan could not see him, he took off his disguise and followed closely behind the butler grandpa.

Conan's full name is Edogawa Conan, and his real identity is Kudo Shinichi. He was originally a famous high school student detective, but due to some inexplicable reasons, his body shrunk and became like a primary school student.

Mao Lilan's friend Suzuki Sonoko was invited by the organizer to attend the banquet because he is the daughter of the Suzuki chaebol.

Because I didn't want to come alone, I asked the organizer if they could give up a few more places.

For the time being, there is no one in this world who does not buy the face of the Suzuki chaebol daughter, so Conan and Mao Lilan can come in together.

This gathering of high-class people is different, there are masks of hypocrisy everywhere.A gesture of raising one's hand, a random answer, none of them were carefully planned.

Edogawa Conan didn't like this kind of occasion, so the whole audience ate and ate with his friends.

As a detective, he is used to carefully observing the situation around him in his daily life.Edogawa Conan discovered that this banquet seemed to be more than just a simple business gathering.

From the beginning of the party, Edogawa Conan has frequently smelled some pleasant smells. He thought it was some kind of aromatherapy that rich people like, but not long ago he discovered that it turned out to be the smell of guns!

Because he often helps the Japanese police solve cases, Edogawa Conan is very familiar with the smell of this gun.

Why is there a smell at a business dinner?

The only thing that could be explained was that most of the people attending the banquet were more or less carrying weapons like guns, and the originally subtle smells gathered together and became obvious.

Why do ordinary businessmen carry guns?

——This banquet is obviously not an ordinary banquet!

When Conan Edogawa noticed this, he heard Haikouda's housekeeper say that Haikouda was missing.

In such an important gathering, it is really suspicious that the host is not in the hall!

Run forward, and another corner is the men's restroom.

"Master? Master, are you in there? Master——" the butler yelled as he walked into the men's bathroom.

Edogawa Conan pretended to go to the toilet and followed him in.

Every cubicle in the bathroom was empty and quiet, and it really didn't look like anyone was in it.

The butler looked for all the places he could find, and now there was no toilet, he was anxious over there: "Where can this master go? Don't make the guests unhappy later—"

The housekeeper was in a hurry to circle around the bathroom door.

Edogawa Conan also simply searched the restroom at this time, but found nothing suspicious.

Maybe he really committed an occupational disease?

Edogawa Conan came out, ready to go back to the banquet hall.

"what--"

As soon as he came out, Edogawa Conan stepped on something small and slipped to the ground.

"Hey, kid, are you okay?" The butler didn't know whose kid this was, anyway, he couldn't afford to mess with anyone who could come in.

"It hurts..." Conan Edogawa held his sore buttocks, and took a good look at what tripped him up.

small stone?

wrong!

The little thing in my hand is not smooth, and some crushed powder can be squeezed out with my fingers.Feels more like... cement than stone?

How can there be cement in a good place?

Before Edogawa Conan could ask the question in his heart, the butler also found something on the ground.

"This... well, how could this kind of thing happen...the cleaners must be lazy! Young master, you didn't get injured, right? I'm going to punish those sweepers right now!"

"I'm fine...I'm fine..." Edogawa Conan stood up by himself and patted the dust off his body.

Being called Young Master or something... I'm really not used to it...

In order not to trip other guests, the housekeeper first picked it up with his hands on the ground.

Who knows, the housekeeper picked it up here, but the top fell off there.

Could it be that the floor was not swept clean, or that the ceiling was not done properly?

The butler slowly raised his head and looked up——

It doesn't matter if you look at it, it really can make people have nightmares several times!

At first glance, a pair of human legs are hanging in the air, and they are still shaking.Taking a closer look, it turned out that a person's body was stuck in the ceiling, with only his legs exposed!

"Come... come, someone!!!"

The housekeeper ran away without even scrambling.

Edogawa Conan also looked up——

No wonder no one can be found anywhere, of course no one can be found in such a place!

Because the ceiling was destroyed, the cement blocks fell little by little.

It may be because there is a ballroom here, the ceiling here is much higher than normal, so people coming and going are naturally invisible.

It can kill a middle-aged strong man in a short time, and can hang people from the ceiling in such a strange way.

something-

Conan Edogawa was eager to try this case and was full of curiosity.

******

The people invited to today's banquet are all prominent figures. Although the housekeeper was a little frightened, he is not a brainless person.

He first notified the guests in the venue in small groups, and then asked them to leave as soon as possible.The whole thing was treated as if it hadn't been discovered yet.

Although Mr. Haikou Da is gone, the business is still there.A company will not stop operating just because the boss is dead, and the stewards have to take care of the many shareholders and bosses who work with them.

The banquet was going well and someone died suddenly. It is indeed a bit strange, but these people are not related to Haikou Dafei... It is a trivial matter to die. If the police are brought here, the police will start to investigate. It's a little embarrassing.

In order not to go too obviously, the people present were divided into several groups, some walked through the main gate, some walked through the small gate, and some walked through the side gate.

"No!" Conan Edogawa's small body stood in front of everyone, "No one is allowed to leave until the police come and the prisoner is caught!"

"This......"

It doesn't look like anyone here has anything to do with this matter, let alone wait for the police to come——

"Whose kid is this?! Where are you adults?"

"Can you take care of the children?! What does a child know about the affairs of adults!"

"Hurry up and take him away! I don't want to see the police here again!"

Conan Edogawa unhurriedly took out his mobile phone, and a call record was displayed on it: "I have already called the police, and the police will arrive soon. Anyone who escapes now can be regarded as refusing to cooperate with the police. Absconding in fear of crime! You all have invitations to attend, and the police can easily check who is present today. What do you say, grandpa housekeeper?"

"This..." Under the gaze of so many eyes, the housekeeper could only tell the truth, "There are indeed records..."

"Look." Edogawa Conan has already heard the words he most wanted to hear, "So even if you leave now, and the police start investigating later, you will still be found, so it's better to stay here, if If you are innocent, you have no reason to be afraid of the police."

"........"

A group of people were intimidated by a child, Liu Daoku sneered in his heart——

They're all a bunch of idiots.

Mori Ogai didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but the matter happened in Yokohama after all. As the boss of the port mafia, he can be regarded as the master of Yokohama. He should come out to express his views at this time.

"I think it's good to just follow what this little brother said." Mori Ogai put his hands behind his back, walking steadily without panic, "Mr. Haikou is also my friend, and he is also my future partner. He is now out I am really very sad about this kind of thing, although the dead cannot be resurrected, but catching the murderer may be the last thing I can do for him."

Behind Mori Ogai stood two cadres, one on the left and one on the right, and they were also well-known double blacks in the mafia world.This kind of momentum has the meaning of killing whoever dares to step out.

It's already like this, so naturally no one dares to step out again.

After a long time, the police finally arrived.

Because of the location where the case took place, too many people were implicated. In order to reduce the cost of the investigation to a certain extent, the police let some people who have no obvious direct relationship with the case go back, and the police will come back when necessary. to contact.

There are cameras in the hall of the banquet. It is not difficult to find the people Haikou Da had contacted before his death.

In the end, Liu Dao Mu was left behind as probably the last person to see Haikou Tatsu.Several people near Liudaoku were also left behind.

"It's really hard to predict what will happen in life..." Osamu Dazai sighed helplessly.

It seems that the plan to go to the bar to drink with friends later was disrupted. The police intervened and didn't know what time it would be.

Mori Ogai is completely like a good citizen: "As one of the citizens of Yokohama, it is what we should do to cooperate with Mr. Police."

"Hi, hi—" Dazai Osamu casually said a few words.

Anyway, who did this thing, there is no need to think about it at all.

The number of people had almost decreased, and the police began to question them.

The first person to be asked was naturally the last one to see Haikouda, Liu Dao Mu.

Police: "Please tell me roughly how the last time you saw Mr. Haikouda."

Liudaokuo said truthfully: "During the banquet, the kid's cream cake got into my pants, and Mr. Haikouda gave me a new pair. I heard Mr. Haikouda's voice when I was in the bathroom, but when I came out After that he disappeared."

"That is to say, Liu Dao Mu is likely to be the last person who saw the deceased before he was alive—" Hearing such words, no matter who heard this, he would think so, "Where are the remaining ones?"

Mori Ogai: "We stayed in the banquet hall all the time and never went out."

The information given by the rest of the people is that they have never been out of the banquet hall.

"The police department, the surveillance video has been brought." One of the policemen reminded the police department.

Just now the butler brought all the footage recorded by the banquet hall and the surveillance video on the first floor.

According to the video footage, Liudao Mu did go out with Haikouda, but when he came back, there was only one person, and Haikouda's figure never appeared in the banquet hall again.

Then they tuned out the video at the bathroom door.

"this is--"

Several heads gathered in front of the display screen.

The screen clearly showed that Haikouda was standing outside the bathroom door. Suddenly, the surveillance camera seemed to be blocked by something and went dark. After a while, the display returned to normal, and Haikouda who was originally standing at the bathroom door disappeared.After a while, Liu Dao Mu came out of the bathroom.

This is all the worthwhile picture.

After watching the surveillance video, the police department asked, "Who was the first to discover the body, and has the body been disposed of?"

A policeman next to him replied: "When the body was discovered, Haikouda's housekeeper and this kid who happened to go to the toilet. The body has been placed from the ceiling now, and it may be checked."

"Well, okay, then let's check the condition of the corpse first."

A group of people came to the outside of the men's bathroom.

The butler couldn't look directly at the dead Haikouda, so he turned around silently and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

There was no obvious trauma on Haikouda's body, the only one that was conspicuous was a penetrating wound on his forehead, which should also be the cause of death.

The police were all studying the corpse, but Edogawa Conan began to check around.

This case feels like something is off.

The one on the forehead should be the cause of death, but judging from its shape and size, it is far smaller than the size of a bullet.

There is also the way the corpse is disposed of.

Why do people get stuck in the ceiling?

Generally, the method of disposing of corpses contains religious beliefs. What kind of method is this?

If it didn't have a special meaning, Edogawa Conan really couldn't figure out why the murderer would go to such great lengths to hide the human body in the ceiling after killing Haikou Tatsu.

According to the footage from the surveillance camera, it only took the murderer more than ten seconds to dispose of the corpse from the killing knife.How on earth did he do it in such a short time?

Rather than finding the murder weapon, Conan wanted to know how the man got it.

Not only Conan, but the police also began to search for evidence around.

There was a trash can in the men's room near the door, and everything in it had been emptied.

The bathroom was cleaned before the banquet started, so the garbage in it should be left by the people who came to the banquet.

The contents of the trash can were dumped all over the floor.

The police first picked out things that were suspected of having bloodstains.

After picking and picking, I finally found only a bloody toothpick.

"This is... teeth blood?" The policeman looked at the toothpick in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"You leave your teeth bleeding like this? How much blood is that?" Another policeman next to him retorted.

This toothpick is covered in blood from head to toe, it's hard to imagine how it could be used like this.

Edogawa Conan has also been watching them search for evidence, and this toothpick also caught his attention.

This size... If it is a murder weapon, it is not impossible...

But how can such a small, thin, and not particularly strong thing pass through the human skull?

After some cleaning, the evidence at the scene is probably collected.

"Police Department, the pair of pants found in the trash can are confirmed not to belong to the deceased, and the length is wrong."

"Really, then put it in the evidence bag first."

"One more thing...that is, the trousers look like new, even the folded lines are still there. Throwing a pair of new trousers in this place, I think it is very suspicious, it may be left by the murderer .”

Liu Dao Mu, who was inexplicably regarded as the murderer: "..."

Police Department: "Then compare that pair of pants with the people at the scene."

"Yes--"

"No need." Mori Kogoro, who hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, suddenly said, "I probably already know who the prisoner is."

The policemen present were very surprised: "Really, really? Who is that?"

"The prisoner is—" Mori Kogoro stretched out his hand confidently, "The prisoner is the one who saw the dead last!"

He who enters the dead last—

The eyes of all the people looked at Liu Dao Mu in unison.

"Oh?" Liudao Mu felt that there was nothing wrong with him as a suspect, because he was indeed the last person to see Haikouda, but he was a little surprised that he was designated as a prisoner.

"Kufufufu...." This is also a wonderful experience, "Then let me ask, where is your evidence?"

Liu Dao Mu felt that he had done a lot of bad things, but this was the first time that he was identified as a murderer by pressing his head.

Mori Kogoro said solemnly: "You are the last person to have seen Mr. Haikou Tatsu, and you have indeed been to the scene of the crime. The rest of the people have not been to the scene."

"so?"

"If it's the method of elimination, then the only one who can kill Mr. Haikouda is you!"

"Anything else?"

"Of course!" Mori Kogoro pointed to the trousers in the policeman's hand, "Just now the policeman also said that these trousers are new, but you said that you came to the bathroom to change them. Then why did these new trousers appear in the bathroom The only explanation is that Mr. Haikouda was tricked into the bathroom by this excuse, and then killed. Since Mr. Haikouda is dead, it is not so important whether you change these pants or not !"

"..." Liu Daoku had to say that this man actually had some truth to his nonsense.

The problem is, this guy called Mori Kogoro is just talking nonsense, but there are actually people who believe that group of policemen......

"I did not change into the pants prepared by Haikouda, because I don't like wearing clothes of unknown origin. I don't know if you are satisfied with this explanation." Liu Daoku could not be regarded as an excuse for himself, but he really couldn't put things away tell the truth.

From the looks of the police, it seemed that they were really planning to arrest Rokudokoku. As the owner of Yokohama, Mori Ogai had to say a few words to the foreign guests at this time: "Is it too hasty to close the case like this? The police department grown ups."

"It's true...it's really unsafe to take someone back without even finding out the motive." Although the police department also believed in Kogoro Mori's explanation, after all, the police still have to follow the procedures when arresting people .

The adults on both sides were at a stalemate, but Edogawa Conan did not waste a minute and a second collecting evidence at the crime scene.

Edogawa Conan has been a detective for so many years, today's case can be said to be the one he has the least idea of.

From the incident to the present, he didn't even identify the most basic suspects, and he was like a headless chicken.

The only confirmed thing is that the toothpick was the murder weapon that killed Haikouda, and nothing else was known.

hateful!

Having been a detective for so many years, it is really rare to be so aggrieved!

All the evidence that can be collected at the scene has been collected, and the rest can only be planned later.

The police decided to close the team.

Mori Kogoro still insisted on the fact that Liu Dao Mu is a prisoner, and he never forgot to give him a few more glances before leaving.

Liu Dao Mu naturally laughed at this behavior.

——Will you bark back when you meet a mad dog barking?

Same thing.

Edogawa Conan not only failed to analyze the criminal today, but even the suspect was not identified.On the way back, he was listless, and continued to analyze in his mind while feeling down.

Seeing that such a good banquet ended like this, the butler took out his handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

Liudao Mukuro was thinking about how to report to the boss what happened above the banquet tonight.

The matter was so coincidental that Liu Daoku himself didn't even know who did it.

"Then Nakaya-kun and I will go back first, where's Dazai-kun?" Mori Ogai looked at Dazai Osamu and Rokudoku who seemed to be planning to go to Xiaoxu.

"I made an appointment with a friend to meet at a bar and I'm ready to go now."

Although it was past twelve o'clock.

"As for him...he should have his own arrangements." Osamu Dazai alluded to Rokudo Mukuro next to him.

Osamu Dazai knew very well in his heart that Mr. Mori didn't want to know his next move, he obviously wanted to know Liudaokuo's next move.

"My words should be with Dazai-kun." Liudaoku said.

He is not very interested in friends or not, but he is a little curious about other things.

The smile on Mori Ogai's face grew wider, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart: "Then Dazai-kun should treat Liudao-kun well."

"Hi—got it."

"Then Liu Dao-kun, see you next time."

Mori Ogai and Zhongyuan Zhong also got into the car of the port mafia and drove away.

Only Rokudokuku and Osamu Dazai are left.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the bar I mentioned."

******

In the car, neither Mori Ogai nor Nakahara Chuya spoke.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

In the quiet car, Mori Ogai suddenly burst out laughing.

"Boss?" Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little puzzled.

After laughing enough, Mori Ogai returned calm, and asked, "Chuya-kun, what do you think is the relationship between Dazai-kun and Vongola's guardian?"

"Well... I don't know that guy Dazai's circle of friends very well, but since that guy named Rokudokoku took him to the banquet, the relationship between the two should be good." Nakahara Nakahara replied very well Pertinent.

He really didn't pay much attention to Osamu Dazai's social circle.

"Not bad...?" Mori Ogai felt that what he saw seemed to be like this but it wasn't like that.

"Boss, do you suspect that guy Dazai..."

"I didn't say anything, Nakaya-kun." This kind of words were not said casually, "but the suspicion is indeed true."

"Don't worry, Boss! I'm going to catch that bastard Dazai right now!" Nakahara Chuya pressed his hat and was about to open the car door. The driver in front was very confused about whether to stop or not.

"Don't worry, Chuya-kun." The matter is not so urgent that you need to jump out of the car to solve it now, "Dazai-kun is my beloved subordinate after all, if something like this without evidence hurts our relationship Not good."

"Boss is right."

Mori Ogai was not worried about the fact that Dazai Osamu and Pengo Li's guardian were friends. After all, who doesn't have many friends?

What is really worrying is that he has no idea when Osamu Dazai made this friend.

As a mafia, Mori Ogai's goal is very clear.

He doesn't mind expanding the power of the port mafia, but the main development of the port mafia is still in Yokohama, and this has not changed.

Although Italy is said to be the birthplace of the mafia, Mori Ogai has no plans to stretch his hand so far at present, so naturally he has nothing to do with the old mafia organization like Pengele.

In this case, Dazai-kun can make friends with Vongola's guardian without anyone noticing......

How exactly?

On the one hand, Mori Ogai felt incomprehensible to Osamu Dazai's purpose, but on the other hand, he also felt a little happy that the people he brought up had grown up like this.

"Boss doesn't need to worry about that guy Dazai, anyway, we have achieved our goal today." Saying this can be regarded as changing the topic.

Among other things, Nakahara Chu also felt that Osamu Dazai had absolutely no intention of treason.

That person is doing nothing all day long, and he can't even sit in the office of a cadre, let alone be a boss.

Mentioning today's purpose, Mori Ogai's mood improved a bit: "Yes... Haikou Tatsu's heart is too big, so don't blame Yokohama for not being able to tolerate him. You did a good job in this matter , clean and tidy."

"Thanks for the compliment, Boss. Haikouda is just a businessman with a bit of a good mind, but with his ability, he still wants to share our black///dao's soup."

"The maritime transaction must be in the pocket of our port mafia. Haikouda wants Peng Lie to be their boss, so I can only kill him when this umbrella is formed." It was the purpose of his coming to this banquet tonight.

The Boss of the Port Mafia rarely appears in the public eye as a Boss, so he naturally agreed to the banquet this time because he had his own plans.

Haikouda wanted to embrace Peng Gelie's thigh to do business in sea trading. This method was good, but unfortunately he didn't do his homework to see who their opponents were.

A small businessman can smell the deliciousness of this piece of meat, so naturally their port mafia has already been eyeing this piece of meat.

Judging from the appearance of Vongola's guardian Liu Daoku today, Haikou Da and Vongola should have nothing to discuss, otherwise Vengley's guardian of the mist would not be able to let the death of his partner just like that .

Not long after Haikouda and Liudaoku went out of the banquet hall, Zhongyuan Zhong also followed.

Chuya Nakahara's ability is to control the gravity factor around him, so he can completely avoid all surveillance cameras.

When he came outside the bathroom, Nakaya used gravity to control the position of the camera, adjusted it to a place where he couldn't capture anything, and then killed Haikouda with the toothpick he took out from the banquet hall just now.Finally, control Haikouda's body and let his upper body get stuck in the ceiling to delay the discovery of the body.

Those policemen who came today are not professionals at all, they are not responsible for cases of supernatural powers, so in the end they can only let it go.

No matter how much the investigation continues, there will still be no results.
