The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Bai Ma Tan put his hands in his pockets, raised the corners of his confident mouth slightly, and continued to reason.

"Also, I just checked the surveillance in the hotel and found that no one left the venue during the power outage."

"In other words, after the murderer knocked out President Suzuki, he first hid him somewhere in the venue, and then waited for an opportunity to take him out of the venue."

"As for how to take him out..."

…

At the same time, Conan, San Xiaozhi, Sera Masumi, Mao Lilan, and Suzuki Sonoko on the other side were looking around in the kitchen for the whereabouts of President Suzuki.

Before the police arrived at the hotel, Conan and Detective Baima had already thought of the surveillance in the hotel corridor.

After calling the surveillance camera, it was discovered that after the power outage ended, a dining cart was pushed out of the venue by the figure dressed as a hotel waiter.

Conan still remembered that before the power outage, the main food area of ​​the venue had just been decorated, and it was impossible to take it down so quickly.

And there is a storage space under the hotel's dining car, which can just fit an adult.

So, Conan and the White Horse Detective split into two groups. One went back to the venue to call for help, while the other went to explain the situation to the police.

"Conan, did you find it there?"

"No, what about you?"

"Me neither..."

Sera Masumi is dressed in a neutral outfit, but she does have a bit of heroic spirit.

Since the Akai couple and Brother Xiu who were finally reunited had gone on missions outside, even though Baima Tan had recovered, she still stayed at Baima Tan's house for a while.

This time she also followed Baima Tan to attend the banquet.

Unfortunately, she happened to be using the restroom when the power outage occurred and was not at the venue.

At this time, since all the chefs in the kitchen were summoned to the police for questioning, the banquet was also suspended, so the neat dish codes were placed on the operating table.

Yuantai, who was already hungry, stood on tiptoes and looked at the delicacies on the operating table. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and drooled out unsatisfactorily.

However, the most basic moral integrity must still be maintained. Yuantai finally defeated his appetite and looked away.

Suddenly, a familiar fragrance entered his nose.

He twitched his little nose and smelled it carefully, and found that it was the aroma of eel rice.

This time my restless heart could no longer be contained.

Yuantai instantly switched to police dog mode and began to crawl forward, following the scent into the depths of the kitchen.

When he came to a cupboard, he finally saw the eel rice he was longing for...the sauce.

I saw a smear of soy sauce-colored kabayaki eel sauce stained on the metal door of the cupboard.

As a qualified foodie, he now had reason to suspect that the cabinet was full of eel rice.

But when he opened the cabinet door, he found that it was not eel rice.

It was a middle-aged man lying inside with his eyes closed. The middle-aged man had a thick beard under his nose, his mouth was taped with tape, his hands were tied, and he was in a coma.

This person seems to be the missing President Suzuki.

…

After a while, President Suzuki was sent to the hotel infirmary and gradually regained consciousness.

Under the questioning of Officer Megure, President Suzuki told the story of his kidnapping.

In fact, there is no telling what happened. He was in a coma throughout the entire process, and the suspect's appearance was not seen.

However, when President Suzuki made his statement, he said that just last week at the golf course, President Mitsuka, who was playing golf with him, was also kidnapped and disappeared for a while.

When the police arrived, they found her in the golf course bathroom.

And President Mitsuka is also one of the sponsors of this Tokyo World Expo.

However, perhaps because she was frightened, the female president of the dessert company did not attend today's banquet.

This new situation made Conan, Hakuba Tan, and Sera Masumi raise their chins at the same time, looking like they were thinking calmly.

Mao Lilan, who was next to him, was stunned for a moment when he saw the synchronized movements of the three of them.

At this moment, a calm and calm voice sounded from behind the screen near the door of the infirmary.

"Officer Megure, this case may be related to the kidnapping case that occurred on the eve of the opening of the Boston World Sports Center 15 years ago..."

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Officer Memu was stunned for a moment, then looked back.

I saw a middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle manner walking in.

This person is Kudo Yusaku.

"Brother Yusaku!"

"When did you come back? How long do you plan to stay this time?"

As we all know, behind every successful man is a supportive woman.

But behind Mu Mu, there are countless brothers who silently support him.

Kudo Yusaku is the first generation of "younger brother" Jinchuuriki. Although he has retired from the "younger brother world" for many years, he still holds considerable weight in Megure's heart.

"I just returned to Japan recently and will stay for a while..."

Kudo Yusaku did not exchange too many pleasantries with Megure, but went straight to the topic.

"Officer Megure, 15 years ago in Boston, the United States, there was also a case of serial kidnapping of senior figures of sponsors of the World Experience. It is almost exactly the same as what happened to President Suzuki today."

"As for the specific situation, let the professionals explain..."

As Kudo Yusaku finished speaking, an old man with a goatee and gray hair walked in from the door.

"This is Mr. James, an FBI investigator from the United States. He came to Japan this time just for this case..."

"Hello everyone, my name is James Black..."

James nodded to everyone in the room, and then began to introduce the case 15 years ago.

It turned out that on the eve of the Boston World Games 15 years ago, three sponsors were kidnapped one after another.

The first was a senior executive of a Japanese snack manufacturer in Atlanta.

The second was a senior executive of a Chicago consortium.

The third was a senior executive of a Detroit automaker.

"Among them, only the victim of the third case was shot dead at the station after escaping from the hands of the criminals."

"Although the victims of the first and second kidnapping cases were rescued safely, for some reason, they remained silent and refused to cooperate with the investigation when asked about the suspect's information."

"After that, after a lot of investigation, we locked the suspect on a sushi chef in Boston."

"His name is Makoto Ishihara, and he once participated in the banquet held by the Boston World Sports Association as a banquet chef."

"And when the victim of the third case was killed, someone witnessed him near the scene."

"In addition, his fingerprints were also matched on the murder weapon pistol found afterwards..."

James paused for a moment.

Bai Ma took the opportunity to say, "I have also heard of this case. It is said that the motive for the crime was to fight against the commercialization of the World Sports Association."

"The companies whose executives were kidnapped immediately stopped sponsoring the World Sports Association that year..."
