Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 111: Detective Agency Hostage Incident (Part )

Ze Lixun retracted the gun that was pointing at Lucky and pointed it at the three ladies.

All three women claimed they had met with Ms. Weihong alone at the hot spring hotel, and that their meetings happened to be at different times. They then produced the signed books as proof.

Isao Sawakuri said that his sister had been leaving real-time messages on SNS. He took out the chat record and handed it to Kogoro Mouri. The specific names of the three ladies were not marked on it, but the three code names "elephant", "fox" and "mouse".

Conan immediately looked up the information of the three ladies. Their novel website had photos and other personal information.

"If we judge them solely by appearance, Ms. Guangjing is the 'elephant,' Ms. Tangdi is the 'mouse,' and Ms. Niping is the 'fox,'" the little girl said, looking at the photo. Honestly, Ms. Tangdi's buck teeth reminded her of a lawyer.

Conan shook his head. "Appearance alone isn't enough. Ms. Weihong's nickname isn't necessarily based on her looks."

Hui Yuanze looked up Ze Lixun's information on the side: "He is the captain of the survival game team. The name of the team is Green Duckbill Cap."

At this time, the three little ones also came back from outside after gathering information. They learned about the living habits of the three ladies and some details of the day of the crime from the town.

At the same time, he also learned that the policeman in charge of the case was Inspector Yamamura of the Gunma Prefectural Police. He once again lamented that Inspector Yamamura was really a stupid guy.

Just when Conan was planning to collect some information, at the office, Sawakuri Isao discovered that the phone was still on and he was so angry that he wanted to attack Xiaolan.

Shiliang quickly stood in front of Xiaolan, and Lucky also stood up tremblingly to block Xiaolan, muttering something. Shiliang listened closely and found that Lucky was saying: "God bless him, he can't hit me, his gun will jam..." Shiliang's originally serious expression almost broke.

At the critical moment, Conan spoke in the voice of Kudo Shinichi: "I asked her to do this, it was me, Kudo Shinichi."

The three little ones complained that Conan was speaking in a different voice again, but were coaxed away by Haibara.

Under Conan's persuasion, Sawaguri Isao sorted out all the information he had and sent it to Dr. Agasa's computer.

While reviewing the information and asking the three ladies about the details of the crime scene, Sawakuri Xun complained that they were too noisy and mentioned that his sister had given him the nickname "Oriole".

After hearing this news, Conan immediately confirmed the pattern of Ms. Weihong's nicknames and identified the murderer.

Huiyuan poured cold water on the side: "Even if you find the murderer, there will be two bodies in the office soon."

At the office, Sera saw the flashing sniper scope outside the window and knew that the police had arrived at the scene.

Ze Lixun seemed to be getting impatient and repeatedly urged Conan to tell him who the murderer was. On Conan's side, the three children provided a new clue, that is, two or three days ago, Ze Lixun asked the townspeople the same question.

The little girl frowned. "Does that mean he has already investigated privately?"

Conan continued talking to Ze Lixun: "It seems that you have investigated a lot of things. You have questioned all the witnesses that day."

"Yes, I have already investigated everything about the three of them."

"Niping Junxia is a bit of a jerk. If she sees a stranger's slippers not laid out properly, she'll go and put them in order. My sister is always a bit careless, so we don't get along."

"Tang Chizhixin goes to the hot springs all day long. Maybe he's just using the big bathhouse to wash off the blood that sprayed on my sister when he cut her wrist."

"Mitsui Tamami once rushed out of my sister's room with her signed book, and she was seen by the tenants two rooms away."

"So tell me quickly, who is this murderer my sister calls 'rat'?"

Shira was whispering to Xiaolan: "You are probably wondering why he hasn't solved the case yet. In fact, he already has the answer in his mind. The murderer known as 'rat' is Ms. Mitsui Tamami."

"But if he says it directly, Mr. Sawakuri Isao will die with her." Lucky said with a trembling voice, holding his four-leaf clover amulet in his hand.

"Then we have to take another approach now." Sera said as he walked forward.

"Hey, I mean, that phone has been on for a long time, right? Is the battery still good?"

After reacting, Isao Sawaguri immediately directed Kogoro Mouri to get the charging socket.

"Is this okay? Are you sure you don't want to get it yourself? If there's a weapon in that drawer, Detective Maori will fight back."

Conan was also shocked when he heard the news on the other end of the phone.

The little girl understood what Sera was trying to do: "The police have already deployed snipers outside the office, so they can lead Sawakuri Isao under the sniper scope. But is this really a good idea?"

Isao Sawaguri immediately pushed Kogoro Mori away and went to get the charger himself.

Just as the police lying in ambush outside were watching Sawakuri Isao move into the camera and preparing to shoot, Mouri Ran suddenly appeared and pulled the curtains.

"I think it's very cold tonight, so it's better to draw the curtains. The phone charger should be in that cabinet. I'll get it out for you."

This action shocked Shiliang, but Lucky understood Xiaolan's reasoning: "There is no need to turn two into one. Xiaolan is very kind and she hopes that both of them will live. Of course, Kudo-san should think so too."

"Sera-san, it's not that your method is bad, but when there's a chance to save more lives, we shouldn't give up." Lucky clenched the four-leaf clover amulet. "I know that too."

Conan calmed Sawakuri Isao and said that he already knew who the murderer was.

"The first person to come in was Ms. Elephant, the second bottle of pure summer. Ms. Weihong had just finished taking a shower in her bathroom, so she wrinkled the pages when she signed."

"As for why Ms. Guangjing thought Ms. Weihong had been to the big bathhouse, it was because Ms. Yudi wore the wrong clothes once when she came in."

"So the second 'fox' to come in was Ms. Yuchi, and the third 'rat' to enter the room was Ms. Guangjing."

Conan also explains that Ms. Mihong's animal nicknames are based on color. The fox's caramel color refers to the bread at the bakery where Ms. Tangdi works; the elephant's ivory color refers to the seal carved by Ms. Erping's husband; and the mouse's gray color refers to the stone from Ms. Guangjing's stone shop.

The little girl couldn't help but ask Conan: "Hey, why did you tell him the truth? This way, both of them will die!"

Knowing that the murderer was Ms. Guangjing, Zelixun burst into laughter. He ignored Ms. Guangjing's excuses and stuffed the barrel of the pistol into her mouth: "As long as I can kill this woman and avenge my sister, I will die without regrets even if it means losing my life!"
