The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

I’m afraid that after this series of bad things, the whole investigation team has been very nervous.

However,

The manipulator behind the scenes is a very difficult thing to disprove, which is indeed a good target for hatred, but reasoning and investigation always require evidence. After the initial shock, Kudo Shinichi immediately asked Megure Jusan for information in this regard.

Megure Jusan sighed: "I can only say that I am investigating carefully, but, alas, there is not much hope.

When purchasing in large quantities, mercury thermometers are not numbered, and every department has them. Even if a doctor or nurse is careless, as long as he refuses to admit it, at most he can buy another one outside, and no one can find out."

Kudo Shinichi was silent.

Yesterday, the time span was too long, and it was impossible to investigate.

He wanted to say that this feeling of no solution was very similar to Moriarty, who he had been thinking about for a long time.

But this was too much, Kudo Shinichi shook his head and picked up the phone that Megure Jusan had never hung up.

"Uncle Maori, I need to know more details."

He was going to change his thoughts.

Chapter 97 Kiyoko's timing of appearance

Kudo Shinichi did not ask any details about the case, after all, Maori Kogoro only knew so much

But in other aspects, he had unexpected gains.

Mauri Kogoro didn't know how to start:

"The one who gave Xiaolan advice was a young man. They should be together at noon today. That nosy guy is also very rich, and he is also very good at spending money. In the matter between me and Eri, I don't know whether I should thank him or hate him.

Anyway, Officer Megure, can I not be sentenced?"

"..."

"..."

Even though it was extremely urgent at the moment, Maori Kogoro's topic jump made Megure Jusan speechless, and even suspected that he was a little unconscious now.

The actual situation was similar. After a few seconds, the voice on the other end of the phone turned into a rather gentle female voice:

"I am a psychological counselor. Mr. Mao Li did not rest well last night, and he has been under great mental pressure this afternoon. He forced himself to tell you about this unrelieved thing, and now he has fallen asleep."

Kudo Shinichi sighed: "Thank you very much for your help. Can I ask the name of the person who contacted you?"

"Sorry, we can't reveal it..."

"Is it Shuiyue?"

The psychologist remained silent, completely acquiescing.

Kudo Shinichi showed a complicated expression. He knew that Xiaolan and Shuiyue had been very close recently, but he generally believed that Xiaolan did this deliberately for him to see, in order to anger him.

And Shuiyue's two admonitions to change his attitude towards Xiaolan also made him more certain of this. When he thought of the trouble of explaining, Moriarty behind Xuesong Kiyoko, he simply let him go and pretended not to see it.

Anyway, no matter what happened over the years, Xiaolan was waiting for him there and never left.

It is estimated that this time is similar.

As long as he solves the Moriarty issue and apologizes to Xiaolan, this part will be over.

To be honest, he is thinking the same thing now. In fact, Xiaolan has to be given a lower priority because of the incident with Xuesong Kiyoko.

But now that Maori Kogoro is talking about this, Kudo Shinichi is slightly distracted, and he has to admit that Suigetsu is indeed much better than him in caring for Xiaolan.

"Brother Kudo, we'll be in Shinjuku soon!"

Megure Jusan said in a deep voice.

Kudo Shinichi immediately put aside those irrelevant thoughts and returned to the kidnapping of Xuesong Kiyoko.

If the call recording in Xuesong Kiyoko's mobile phone is true, then his previous reasoning about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes will be reversed by 180 degrees.

Xuesong Kiyoko is really a simple little white flower, and her mother who looks vulgar and simple is the one who hides the deepest.

Well...

Kudo Shinichi said that he was unable to accept this conclusion, which was too outrageous no matter how he looked at it.

One of the reasons that is a bit strange is that the difference between Nanae Suzuki and Kiyoko Suzuki in appearance is too big, and they are simply not in the same dimension.

Kudo Shinichi thinks that Mr. Moriarty, who is in charge of the plan, should not be so tasteless.

But everything still depends on the evidence.

Where is Kiyoko Suzuki now?

She...

Oh, are you okay?

At the end of a dark alley in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, in the lounge at the deepest part of the underground casino.

"Megure Jusan has arrived in Shinjuku. Pay attention to the timing of your appearance. If you are not sure, you can go a little later and let the police rush to the back of the auction to rescue you."

Kiyoko Suzuki is still wearing the blue Teitan school uniform when she left school. She is practicing facial expressions in front of the makeup mirror to make herself look as haggard as possible.

Although she is quite experienced in this, the eyes of the famous detective are very sharp, so she has to pay more attention to avoid being discovered by him.

Just when she thought of this, Hotaru's words came from the invisible earphones, and Kiyoko Suzuki couldn't help but chuckle at the mirror.

Mr. Holmes, you are indeed very powerful.

But it seems that you are not as good as Mr. Moriarty.

[Love +1]

Yingsheng, who was wandering around in the auction house far ahead, received the system prompt and raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling:

"It seems that you are in a good mood."

"Because everything bad is about to end." Qingzi smiled softly, her tone rarely so cold, "But I am a little curious, if I appear before the police arrive, wouldn't it increase the tragic effect? "

"Why, you really don't care about your reputation anymore?" Yingsheng shook his head: "People here have only vaguely heard about it, and they don't know that the final auction item is you."

"But in that case, wouldn't everyone here die? Although the police and Kudo-kun can survive, they know my current situation, so there is no need to hide it."

"That's just a best expectation. What if an accident happens? And there is Xiaolan here. After she finds out that you are in such a miserable state, she will come over tomorrow to make friends with you, and she will make friends with you that afternoon. You introduce it to me.”

"Eh? Why is that?"

"Because I am a part-time emotional expert and life coach. I am best at comforting girls who are not worthy of this world."

"Puchchi——"

Qingzi couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Lan, you are so cute, and she also accompanied Yingsheng-kun here as insurance in case of changes in the plan. Thank you very much."

Yingsheng smiled and said: "I would rather hope that everything goes smoothly, so that we can just leave it to the police and we don't need to take action.

By the way, for the two hospitalized policemen, I added a little bit of material to them last night, but the result would be too eye-catching. Take your time, and you will have the chance to do it yourself later. "

"That's good, but I would rather the other police officer die."

"I told you it was me who provoked her. If you want to kill her, just jump at me."

Yingsheng was looking forward to it, but there was no system prompt, which disappointed him.

"But she is the direct perpetrator."

"It's okay, but don't be impatient. You have to wait for a while. Don't make them anxious."

"Yeah, make friends with time. Speaking of this, has Yingsheng-kun been in a better mood?"

"As long as you're happy, everything is fine."

"Well... you'd better talk to Miss Lan about this. Goodbye, Mr. Moon."

Communication is temporarily interrupted.

Yingsheng smiled and shook his head, continuing to walk aimlessly around the venue. Two minutes later, he walked to a dark corner at the edge of the venue and called Xiaolan on another communication channel...

No, it's Alice.

Xiaolan quickly came over and curiously asked Yingsheng: "I heard many people complaining about the lack of signal at the venue. I suspect that Ni Pei was overly cautious and installed a signal jammer. Why can we still use the radio? "

"Of course I installed that thing, leaving a special frequency band for us to use."

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Did you find anything?"

Chapter 98 Never overestimate human rationality

Xiaolan talked about some general conditions of the venue that she had observed. The main purpose was to determine the advance route if they took action later. Yingsheng listened quietly and gave some advice from time to time.

In fact, the venue was open and the defense was quite amateurish. There were not many things to consider.

But for a novice like Xiaolan, it is just right to accumulate experience.

"There's just something strange about it."

Xiaolan glanced at the way the two of them came, and there happened to be a bald man wearing a pig-head mask walking in. As soon as he entered, he looked around.

"Didn't we knock out two people there and let one go? Why did Nihan act like nothing happened?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"Maybe it's because of face. Anyway, no one died. The Nihan Club probably just thought it was some grumpy guest and didn't want to expose this matter." Yingsheng smiled:

"And when things have developed to this point, the Mudonghui has long been on the verge of being unable to get off the ground. Now that they are canceling the auction, they are just waiting for this place to be turned upside down."

Speaking of this, Xiaolan frowned slightly: "I heard that the grand finale here is people."

"Yes, a very beautiful woman."

Yingsheng sighed softly: "Didn't I tell you at noon that someone here was tricked into going bankrupt? I guess it has something to do with that person.

I originally wanted to collect evidence of those people's conspiracy and let the police finish the matter, but now that there is a public human auction, it doesn't need to be so troublesome.

Someone else has definitely called the police, and our old acquaintance Officer Megure should be here soon.

We have to take the opportunity to leave at that time. Most of the masked guests here should be questioned. "

Xiaolan nodded. She didn't necessarily want to be a Tokyo Robin Hood, and the original plan was for the police to finish it off. Now that they're entering in advance, that would be great.

In fact, she was still a little nervous because she would have to evade the police later.

It's not that I'm worried about not being able to escape, it's just...

I feel a bit confused about my stance.

She was obviously a very familiar police officer, but now she needed to avoid his pursuit... Well, Xiaolan suddenly felt that some bad personality in her had awakened. Why was she inexplicably a little excited while being nervous?

No, no, no, it must be an illusion.

definitely is!

"What's going on?" Xiaolan asked, "Did they not anticipate this situation in advance and rush to spread the news?"

"Who knows what they think, maybe they are simple-minded." Yingsheng said casually.

In fact, of course it's not.

The Nimongol Association is indeed very amateurish, but it is not so hasty as to hold an auction that is extremely arrogant and openly provocative to the police without any preliminary preparation.

In other words, apart from the finale that everyone is looking forward to, have they really prepared enough auction items?

The stage has been set up, so there can't be only one pearl behind it and rubble in front.

That would be too disappointing.

Even the pearl has not yet revealed its true appearance, and not all the people who gathered here believed the rumors that it was a rare and exquisite delicacy in the world.

More of them are just excited by the open trampling of the law and the feeling of superiority.

The human auction that I have only seen in film and television works now appears in front of me. No matter whether I dare to raise a sign and bid at that time, just running over to watch the excitement is enough to make people excited.

Look, I have also participated in such things.

I am no longer in the same class as you ignorant bottom-level people.

In short, no matter whether the Nican Society could have anticipated these aspects beforehand, as long as they still had the most basic thinking ability, it would be impossible for them to rush to kidnap the person at 7pm, start the auction at 10pm, and the rumor was leaked at noon.

Isn't this setting a trap for themselves!
